Beautiful Tragedy

Part 59

Ming wheeled Kit outside and immediately Max was on him sitting on his lap as he hugged him tighter crying, Kit's heart broke and he rubbed his back shushing him but he only cried harder, saying how much he missed him and that how much of a mean person Kit is too leave him like that.

It was still unbelievable to him how much he got attached to this family in such a short period of time, even the thought of leaving them terrifies him and he immediately brush it away. At first he thought his life was going to hell when his mother left him and now he literally crave their presence. It was surreal how life works in mysterious ways.

"You have to play more with me now." Max cried on his neck, his tears soaking Kit's shirt and he chuckled lightly.

"Done!" Kit said and Max pulled apart and smiled. Kit wiped his tears and kissed his forehead. "We'll play extra hard." Kit winked and Max cheered making Ming laugh.

"Now get up from his lap." Ming said and Max pouted.

"I wanna keep sitting here." Max folded his arms and Kit gulped.

"Max don't say things like this." he pointed and Max frowned.

"But it's fun, it swings." Max defended and Kit sighed dropping the topic, he knew Max was too young to realize what he just said to he shook his head and let it go. Kit adjusted Max so he sat on his lap as Ming rolled his eyes and wheeled them towards the launch, Max cheering loudly while Kit laughing with him which warmed Ming's heart.

They had lunch together, most of the time Max and Nate talking and complaining how boring it was without Kit. After lunch both Ming and Kit played with Max and Nate, this time Mark played too. Kit was umpire as they played cricket and then Kit chased Max as Ming wheeled him.

When they were exhausted Kit went back to his art room inhaling in his scent and started completing his painting, it took him almost two hours to complete his painting and he looked at it smiling while Ming was amazed and inspired.

"He's gonna love it." Ming had said and Kit just crossed his fingers. At 7 something his dad came and he exercised a little, his exercises were getting on his nerves but now he was more persistent than ever before. He winched and whimpered,, at times he even cried in pain but he knew it was all for good and Ming was there with him all the time.

When done his father sat with him and Ming talking to them in general and few hours later he left his room with Ming, on his doorsteps he turned to face Ming and spoke.

"I know you love my son a lot, I can see it. Just take care of him and give him all the happiness he deserves." His father eyes were shining with tears and Ming nodded determine.

"I know I say this to him that he'll be okay but its not that easy, I asked for his MRI report this week and we'll only know after it his condition." His father exhaled deeply. "I won't give up on him but if it's hard just be there for him okay?" Ming nodded in a heart beat exhaling deeply. Everything has to be okay, Kit has to walk again but he knew even if he won't Ming could never leave him.

"I'll always be there for him." Ming assured him and he patted his back before leaving.

That night Ming hugged Kit with all the strength he had as he lay cuddled up in his arms. He played with his hairs and kissed his forehead making him smile lovingly.

"What did my dad said to you?" Kit asked and Ming gulped before smiling nervously.

"Why should I tell you?" Ming shrugged making him roll his eyes as he nudged him on his side.

"Don't be mean now." Kit pouted and Ming pulled him closer.

"He said" he sang. "To look after you and he told me about your MRI scan." Ming truthfully answered rejecting the fact that he said Kit might never walk.

"He's so eager." Kit laughed and Ming did too sighing in relief. A knock sounded on their door as it opened and in came Max with his tear streamed face holding his teddy in his hand. Ming and Kit immediately frowned looking at him.

"Max what's wrong?" Ming asked as he sat on bed.

"I can't sleep, I am scared." Max sniffed and both Ming and Kit's heart broke on realizing he had a nightmare. "Oh Max!" Ming gasped sadly and opened his arms for his brother to dive in which he did. He cried in Ming's arm for a while before he pulled apart and stare at him.

"Can I sleep here with you?" Max sniffed and Kit smiled patting his bed. "Of course~" Max smiled brightly and slipped inside the duvet hugging Kit who hugged him back. Ming laid back down and circled him arms around Kit's waist. He smiled seeing the three of them cuddled together and he wonder will he be able to have a family with Kit like this?
