Tasting my own medicine

Ch - 10 Losing my heartbeat Pt 3

KIT

I was worried about Ming, he never let go of my hand and I had almost lost feeling with how hard he was holding it, I softly stroked his shoulder trying to get his attention,

" Ming my hand aches, can we stop for some water"

Ming shook his head getting out of his daze and told the Professor he will catch up and to go ahead, he kissed my hand and rubbed it gentle until the colour came back and kept apologizing as I drank from the bottle,

"Ming shall we phone Beam and join them, you were sad when we split from them and haven't paid much attention since. Turning his face away Ming whispers,

" I can't show my face to them, how can I call Yo my best friend when I can't even find him, he's missing because of me, I should have insisted on going with him".

His forehead creased hard and he rubbed his nose bridge trying to remain calm.

My lips formed a thin line of worry, I disliked seeing my joker buffalo sad, Ming was not ever meant to be sad, his smiling cheeky face were adorable as well as annoying in equal measures and I loved him from his fingers to his toes.

Cupping his face gentle and lowering his eyes to meet mine I gentle pecked his forehead while reaching on my tippy toes, taking him into a deep hug I rubbed the back of his neck to sooth him and whispered.

"You are the most amazing friend anyone could have MingKwan, don't you dare doubt yourself when Yo needs you the most, you accepted him when he told you back in high school that he loved Pha, you protected him and helped nurtured him into the most lovable sweet boy he is now, lets go find the others na, I think we work better as a group then split up, we find strength and comfort in each other, that's what we all need"

MingKwan hugged me back and let go, he smiled but it didn't quite reach his eyes.

He gazed at me and bent his head down, I tipped my head up to reach till his lips met mine and all the familiar feelings came rushing back. His sweet scent over came me, my hands roved over his shoulders and muscular back, he continued to kiss me and our mouths moved in unison, safe warm and familiar lips, he tongue pressed for entrance to my mouth and explored every inch of it, MingKwan literally took my breath away and we separated only briefly to continue but this time I pressed his lips with my tongue. I nibbled his lower lip playfully and it sent a growl though his body. MingKwan was eyes trained on me like a fox ready to swallow his prey whole. Shit, I'd got carried away again, he always made me forget my limits my stupid Buffalo.

I tried to escape his embrace but he tightened his hold, he moved his head closer and inhaled, using his nose to rub against my dimples.

"KitKat always knows how to make me feel better, I feel like a superhero when you say thinks like that, let's go find Yo,  Pha must be in a worse state".

PHA POV

I saw the looks  Beam and Kit were giving me from the corner of my eye, I know they were worried but I had to concentrate on walking in this dense humid tangled jungle, Forth and his machine were the only hope we had on finding my Yo, I hadn't even touched my water. I couldn't even swallow my saliva I was that panicked, I'm glad Kit and Ming turned up, they and Forth,Beam are the only ones trust to help me find Yo. Forth's tracker let off a sudden rapid bleep and we all looked at him as he carefully studied it.

"Pha something is   up ahead 50 meters on the right"

As soon as he said  I leaped ahead as fast as possible shouting,

"Yo, were are you, tell me if you can here me",

The crack in my voice betrayed my desperation. Looking around the spot Forth had pointed out I saw nothing but more dense jungle and a rather low tree branch, shining my light on it my face turned white, their was faint signs of blood on it.
