"Ming, I am sorry" Kitty apologized once again as the drove towards the resort. Ming had bene unusually calm but very emotional since Kit walked out from the ferry, he could sense there was something wrong but not what.

Ming remained silent, he turned to look into Kitty once before he continued with the driving

"Are you not going to talk at all?" Kitty whined "Don't tell me you are still angry!"

"No" Ming turned towards Kitty "I can never ever be angry at you Kitty"

"Then what's with the look?" Kitty pouted "Did you cheat on me?" he joked

Ming suddenly turned around his car, taking a different root he then drove off the road and stopped at a secluded spot.

"Ming" Kitty looked a bit frightened, this was not the Ming he was used to, his usual cheerfulness was nowhere visible on his face. He got down swiftly and pulled Kitty out, he dragged him towards a bit covered spot.

"Ming" Kitty was almost running to match Ming's pace "Slow down... please", and he ran into him as Ming stopped suddenly pulling Kitty into a bone crushing hug.

"What is it dear?" Kitty asked "Tell me please, you are scaring me". Ming then slowly pulled back, but still held Kitty in his arms and looked into Kit eyes he doesn't know, the realization hit him he has no clue.

He sighed "I missed you....", he buried his face into Kitty's shoulder "I love you...."

Kitty just hugged him back, not saying anything until he felt Ming's tears on his shoulder "Darling, please... are you hurt? Is everything okay?"

Ming nodded, his face still on Kitty's shoulder – he could feel Kitty hands on his back comforting, the panic in Kitty's voice even thought he was fighting for composure "I am okay..."

They both then sat there, with Kitty resting his head on Ming's shoulder and Ming held Kitty's hand in his... Kitty waited for Ming to say something, and when he heard nothing he decided to talk something "Looks like you missed me... a little too much" he smiled "I missed you too"

"I am sorry" Ming said "Can I ask you something"

"anything"

"What will you want me to do if you left me suddenly?" Ming asked

"Why would I leave you?" Kitty frowned, and then turned to look at Ming in the eye "Don't tell me... you really cheated"

Ming was silent

"I wont leave you; I would only kill you slowly" Kitty smiled

"Please be serious Kitty" Ming frowned "Just answer me – hypothetically; just assume you left me for some reason....."

Kitty was silent not sure where it was going, but Ming continued "Would you want me put my life on hold waiting for you or you would want me to move on?"

"I would never, ever leave you...... I don't understand where this is coming from" Kitty was baffled by the sudden question

"Let's just say it is something that you can't control...." Ming swallowed "Okay, if by any chance Forth met with an accident – would you want Beam to live in his memory and be alone forever", it was easier to talk about Forth dying ,he didn't even want to think about Kitty's death even to point as example

"What?" Kitty was stunned "What happened to Beam? What is wrong with Forth – is he going to break beam's heart?"

Ming sighed, Kitty was getting side tracked "No – just answer my question; if Forth died – should Beam be alone forever"
