Magiclicas Nonsense

Nightmares [Kaiston]

I found this in my paper story folder I have in my backpack but haven't touched in months and this has got to be like a year old or smth XD Before I ever started writing this book!

It's short, but it's cute and it's something to post. School has been a mess and I have several projects that popped up all at the same time and I had to focus on those and this entire week I've been stressed :/ I'm okay, but screwed for a major presentation tmr because I worked like 12+ hours straight putting together a website because they shortened the due date for a national competition by a week and only gave us a week's warning... My fault for putting it off for months, but whoever relayed this info should have done it MUCH sooner.

So yeah that's why there hasn't been updates, I've been kinda braindead and relaxing by writing some OCs since there's no expectations for them X3

I don't remember the context of me writing this but from rereading it I'm assuming that this is a while in the future? A couple years or smth where Kai and Quinston are at least in a relationship, maybe even living together?? I know I like future AUs but I'm kinda confused tbh XD

Quinston woke to someone shaking his shoulder.

"Quinston?"

The sleepy brunette hummed in response. He slowly opened his eyes to see Kai standing over him with a troubled expression.

"I know this is really weird and childish, but can I come in and sleep with you? The tan boy glanced to the side sheepishly. Quinston smiled softly, still half asleep but at least functioning.

"Sure," he scooted over in his twin bed and lifted the covers for the other boy to climb in.

"I just meant on the floor or something, you know-"

"Jus come on, you dork," Quinston sighed jokingly, "All the warmth is leaving~"

Kai gave in and slipped under the blankets. He faced away from Quinston (much to the brunette's disappointment) and quickly fell into a rhythmic breathing that told Quinston Kai had fallen asleep.

He found himself staring at the back of Kai's head, wondering what was going on in his dream world. He started to drift off again, the calm darkness and warmth of another person luring sleep to come.

But then he heard it. A quiet sob, followed by another, and immediately Quinston was wide awake again. His eyes snapped over and he saw the body next to him convulse, his shoulders shaking. Quinston sat up and shook Kai's shoulder.

"Kai, Kai! Hey, it's okay, it's alright..." he tried to soothe. The tan boy's shaking stop and he had presumably woken up, and although his cries quieted they did not completely stop. He shifted and raised his arm to his face, but did not turn to face the other.

"Kai, are you alright...?" Quinston asked, hushed but worried.

"Yeah... just a, just a nightmare..." Kai replied.

Quinston didn't believe him. He slid his free arm over the other boy in an attempt to comfort him.

"Do you want to talk about it? I've heard that helps sometimes."

Kai sniffed. "I-I was a Spero again. Reina was there, and Kagae and Jax and Haiden, staring at me. I asked them what they wanted, and they said- they said they wanted me to prove my loyalty." He glanced over his shoulder to meet Quinston's emerald orbs. Quinston could only guess where this was going, and none of his ideas were good.

"When I turned around, there were you and, and Melissa. Y-you were tied up, to the wall, both of you."

Quinston took Kai's hand.

"You don't have to continue..." he whispered with sympathy and concern. He knew how much Kai's past haunted him, no matter how much he denied it.

The redhead shook his head.

"No. I want to get this off my chest. Haiden game me two potions- two Kagae made. He told me to use one on each of your. I knew, I knew somehow, one would convert you to the Spero, and the other..." he took a deep, shaky breath, evidently terrified of the other possibility.

"The other would kill you."

Quinston hated that he made Kai so scared and guilty about his past. Kai choked up again, causing Quinston to immediately try and console him again.

"I-I couldn't do it. I couldn't choose. I-I can't..."

Quinston pressed his body as close as he could, not knowing how else to help Kai except remind him that he wasn't alone.

"You're okay, is. Don't worry. You don't have to make the decision. Melissa and I are both safe. Shhhh..." The ex-Spero rolled over and buring his face into Quinston's night shirt, making the green-eyed boy smile despite his concern. They stayed like this for what felt like an eternity, holing each other like their only lifelines.

Kai shifted against Quinston's chest. The green-eyed boy looked to meet the shy-eyed wonder's emotional depths.

"Why do you put up with me?" Kai asked.

Quinston somehow found himself smiling.

"I'll stay with you because I enjoy being with you. Even when you're down, you're still amazing and you deserve to be happy like everyone else."

Quinston made a split-second decision to make a bold move and quickly planted his lip on the redhead's forehead. Kai blinked, frozen for a moment, before showing his beautiful smile and cuddling back close to Quinston.

"I'm so glad I met you," he mumbled contently.

Quinston was so tempted to say something more but settled to just reply to the given statement.

"Me too."

I love you.

This is literally the definition of gay fluff wow Becca from a year ago you were cliche. Also apparently I didn't know to to use a variation of words because I added soooo many other adjectives XD

I wonder if I have any other silly things laying around in this folder...?
