Dare You to Move

Dare you to move (Copter)

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
By Switchfoot

It’s been a week.

I’ve been sitting next to you waiting for you to wake up for a week now. Sound of the heart rate machine and lot of other gadgets I don’t know the names of, are like background noise to me. I hear them in my sleep, when I managed to get a shut eye. When others drag me away from you.

Do you even hear me? Doctors say that it’s possible, that you might be trapped between here and there. And that we need to keep trying. They say that all your vitals are fine, that your body is in perfect condition. So you just have to find your way back in. It’s ready for you.

I want you to wake up. Because I have to tell you so much. Things I didn’t tell you because I was too arrogant or too shy. I’m not open like you. But then again you already knew that. You understood me easily and you knew who I am. You knew that I was a shy little guy hiding behind my prickly exterior.

Did you know that I hated you the moment I saw you? You were the most annoying person I’ve seen. You irritated me so much I sometimes gritted my teeth in frustration. Maybe that’s why the director chose me for Kit, even though I actually came to audition for Beam. He must have seen some vibe between us. Good or bad.

You never let me go. You started bugging me until I was forced to become your friend. The director tells that among all the actors P’Kim is the most similar to his character, Ming. Maybe because he bugged me and teased me and annoyed me worse than Ming did Kit.

I always thought that you were the happiest person in the world. So carefree, always smiling and making others laugh. But I later found out how dark your interior was. How much pain you hide behind those blindingly beautiful smiles. The people who smile more are the People who suffer silently, secretly inside. For some reason I wanted to protect you from all the bad things. I wanted to cover you with my small body so that you want feel the hurt, take your bullets for you. I wanted to save you. It’s silly because you’re so much stronger and bigger than me. But what I didn’t know was that I was already falling for you.

Did I tell you that I fell in love with you so easily, even though it was hate at first sight? Once I get to know you, It was easy like falling from a cliff, it was like sky diving without a parachute. So how am I going to live without you? So you need to come back. You need to come back because I need you. I need you to come back for me. For me only.

Who will take care of me if you’re gone. Because I don’t think I have enough love left in me to give anyone else. I’m poor because I’ve given all to you. So come back. Fight. Fight for me.

Do you remember our first kiss? Normally you’re such a guy about dates. You don’t remember birthday days, anniversaries, even appointments. That’s why you used to get in trouble with P’Sprite a lot. But you never forgot our first kiss. You used to tease me about it every opportunity.

Remember? I was angry at you and we had this huge fight. I don’t remember about what but I’m sure it’s your fault as usual. Ha ha. You were trying to make up to me at the office. I was stomping away like an angry kitten. Then you came behind me and lifted me in your arms, bridal style. I was so offended. I may be small but I’m a guy, for God’s sake. I started flailing my limbs and we both fell on the office sofa in a pile.

You were on top of me, crushing me because you were really heavy, no offense P’Kim. I tried to push you away placing my palms on your chest, but you wouldn’t budge. You were staring down at me with the most strange expression. I asked what’s wrong, totally forgetting that we were in the middle of a fight.
“Cop, I feel strange” You said and I quickly felt your forehead for fever. There’s nothing.
“P’Kim, are you okay?” I asked with concern.
“I feel fine. In fact I feel spectacular.” You were looking at me strangely again. “Would you hit me if I kiss you?” You always were straight forward and truthful. “Because I just got this insane need to taste your lips.” And you were on me. Kissing me like no tomorrow. I wanted to hit you. I really did. But soon I forgot how to lift my fist and connect it with your perfectly chiseled cheekbone. Because the moment our lips touched I forgot everything. I forgot my own name. You were a magician like that.

I’ll make a compromise. If you wake up I’ll gave you anything you want. Knowing you, you must be thinking about the most perverted things. I don’t care. Just get up and come back to me. I’ll give my everything to you. Just come back.

Did you know? GodtBas are back together. You can be happy now. Because your Nong Bas now have an official boyfriend. You don’t have to break P’Godt’s face again. And I won’t you. Because P’Godt had been so amazing, taking care of Bas and I. TaeTee are practically married with a kid. What about KimCop? Are you going to leave me without a couple, a partner. What would fans feel? They will miss us badly. If you don’t wake up soon, they will find someone else to replace you in the series. I don’t want anyone else to take your place. I don’t want anyone touching me the way you did. Because I love you. Only you.

I lowered my head to P’Kim’s hand and placed my cheek in his palm. I have no strength to talk anymore. My voice hoarse from talking for hours. So I let my head rest for a minute. P’Kim’s fingers are warm in my cheek. I let a few tears escape.

“No I don’t want to leave P’Kim” I mumbled. Someone’s trying to wake me up. “Let me sleep next to him, please.” But something is touching my face. I let my eyes snapped open. It was P’Kim’s fingers in my cheek. They’re moving. They’re actually moving.

I lifted my head and stared up at his face. His eyes are still closed but his lips are moving through the oxygen mask. I gently lowered the oxygen mask. He’s moving his lips but I can’t make out his words clearly. So I moved my ear next to his mouth.

“If… if anyone touches you…. I’ll break…. I’ll break his  hand.” His croaking voice is incomprehensible, but I got the gist of it. I laughed and sounded the button for the doctor. P’Kim is trying to open his eyes. I couldn’t help the tears coming from my eyes. “Don’t” he tried to lift his hand but it fell back on the bed.

“Barely out of coma, and threatening people huh?” I laughed through my tears and pressed my face to his hand. I felt the light caress of his fingers on my cheek. I enjoyed it little bit more, because soon doctors and nurses would crowd the room and I’ll have to leave him to them.

A/n - Bit dark and sad chapter.
I've been reading 2moons eng trans again because I was looking for ideas for a new book since this one is nearing it's end. And I think I have an idea for another AU story. I will share the synopsis with you guys after few more chapters of this book.
I love you all. Where would I be without you. 😘😘
