Mine (Kai x Ein) ~Complete~

Chapter 5

~Ein's POV~

"H-Hey!! W-Wait a minute!! Where are we going?!" I keep moving forward, not answering Kai. Before long, we arrive at my house. I push Kai up against the wall, leaving me in front of him with my right arm blocking his escape. My ears and tail droop down and tears start to form in my eyes.

"What's wrong?" I ask, lifting my head up, looking directly at Kai.

"Do you not like me?? Am I not good enough for you? Please, tell me...." My voice is shaky and my cheeks are wet from my tears, but I couldn't stop being afraid. "P-please.." I notice Kai's ears lower and his face burn a bright red.

"It's not your fault... I'm sorry for making you worry over me." I move closer towards Kai, lifting his chin up to meet my lips. It was a short kiss, but it was long enough for me to show him how much I cared for him.

"Please," I plead in a calm, quiet tone, "tell me what's wrong. I want to help."

"I can't." I hear Kai say. "I'm sorry." Kai pushes me out of the way, but I instantly grab Kai's wrist, my grip only getting tighter.

"Please... don't leave me again... please." More tears fall down my cheeks now, my heart beating out of my chest. "Please... I don't want to be left alone again." I see my tears delicately fall down onto the concrete ground, leaving small little puddles. Then suddenly, I feel something warm wrap into my arms, embracing my shivering, cold body.

"Okay," I hear, "but let's get you inside first." Wrapped in warmth by Kai, we make our way into the living room of the house. I turn on the T.V. to try to calm down but what I saw next was enough for my heart to shatter into millions of pieces.

What I had just witnessed was a lady on the news, reporting an accident on a highway. I saw the dark blue truck, thinking, 'no way could that be my family's truck,' but as I kept watching, the story continued.

"Two people, a woman and a man, were in a brutal car crash, here on highway 29. The woman seems to be uninjured, but the man is instantly being rushed to the hospital as we speak." I could barely hear the words that were escaping from her mouth. Then two pictures appeared onto the screen. It was of my mom and of my dad.

More tears slid down the side of my face now, my nose started to run even more and my hands and body couldn't stop shaking. Everything was coming at me so fast, I couldn't process it all. It was just too much for me to handle.

I feel a hand slide into the palm of my hand, intertwining the fingers with mine. I look up at the blurry figure beside me, noticing the orange hair and the orange eyes. I close my eyes and open them again, seeing Kai more clearly this time.

~Kai's POV~

I sit there beside Ein, softly holding his hand. I have my other hand wrapped around his body, letting Ein cry into my chest. I didn't really know what to do, because I'm not that great with people when they cry, but I tried to do my best.

I tried doing all of the techniques that help me calm down, hoping it would work for Ein. I move my hand up to his hair, gently playing with it and running my hand through it. I look down at Ein, noticing that the crying had stopped.

"Hey, everything's going to be fine." I try to talk to Ein, with a soothing, gentle voice.

"No it's not! You don't know what it's like to be left alone and forgotten. To be seen as an outcast and always getting bullied." I slowly pull myself away from Ein, my hands slowly turning into fists. Suddenly, my heart was racing and tears started to flow down my cheeks as well.

"Yes I do! Everyday, I wake up hoping it'll be a good day, that maybe, I wouldn't get left alone and left to rot again! This isn't my first roller coaster, Ein. I've ridden it many times and believe me, it isn't fun. I've had things done to me in the past. Things that involve long, endless hours of crying in a closet, hoping someone would open the door to let me out. Even long, deep wounds, cut into me by a sharp, wielding force behind a locked door, hearing the people outside, knocking and banging at the door, crying and pleading at you that life, is still valuable, still meaningful."

We sit there in silence. My heart was still beating and pounding out of my chest, but I was somewhat happy. I was still embarrassed about how I had responded, but I knew the truth would come out one day, and that happened to be today.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have rambled on about my past. I'm sorry you had to hear that." I apologize to Ein, my tears drying and sticking onto my face.

"No.. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I just can't handle this right now. I'm sorry about that." I brush the hair out of Ein's eyes, looking deep into his dark blue eyes.

"Nah, I know what you're going through right now, but don't worry, don't beat yourself over this and just know that your dad will be alright." Ein gives me a small smile, making me smile as well. I get up off of the couch and walk towards the doorway.

"Where are you going?" I hear Ein say behind me.

"It's a secret." Before leaving, I wink at Ein, making him blush a dark red.

Cute, I think to myself before smiling and leaving out the door.
