No Matter How Far I Run, I Will Always Find You

Its just you and me.

~Kody's POV~
It's been a week since Lumine told me what was bothering him.
I'm happy because it feels like a small secret like he can tell me anything.

I'm glad he's back to normal where he's laughing and talking to everyone again. It was kinda lonely when he didn't talk a lot.

I'm still a bit confused why he was going red when he said those words.
He doesn't like me? Whoa hold up I'm not thinking straight.
There's no way he likes me. Why am I thinking this? I'm being stupid.

Kody knocked on Lumine's door again. No answer. "Lumine, what the heck!" Kody said angrily.

He opened the door and was shocked at what he saw. He found Lumine on his bed, breathing heavily on his side. "Lumine?" Kody asked.

Lumine was asleep with his back towards Kody. When Kody said his name, he rolled over on his back. His cheeks were red.

"Lumine! Wake up!" Kody said and tossed a pillow from the floor on him. "Huh?" Lumine said faintly. He looked up at Kody.

Kody lay on his bed and put the back of his hand to Lumine's forehead. It was burning! "What happened?" Kody asked, alarmed.

"I don't know," Lumine said feverishly. "I woke up like this." Kody headed for the door. "I'll get Dad," he said. "No," Lumine said weakly.

He tried to get out of bed and collapsed on the floor. "Please don't," he said. Kody nodded and left for some medicine.

He snuck back upstairs without his father or anyone else noticing. "I'm back," he said. "Here," He said and handed Lumine a pill and a glass of water.

"Thanks," He said. After he took his pill, Kody helped him back into bed. "I'll check later," he promised. But Lumine was already asleep.

~A week later~
"Finally I'm not sick anymore!" Lumine said happily. "Yeah," Kody agreed. They were lying on Kody's bed, playing a PlayStation game. Kody was meaning to ask Lumine a question but was always nervous for his answer.

"Um...listen...do you only work here for money?"Lumine day up straight, startled by this question. "Huh?" Kody fidgeted with a string from his blanket on his bed. "Do you really just work here for money? Is that all you really want?" He asked sadly.

"N-no! Of course not! I'm here because I want to take care of you and protect you! I don't even care about money!" Lumine said truthfully.

"Okay," Kody said, hugging his knees tight. "Kody?" Lumine asked worriedly. He was shaking, which probably meant he was crying.

"What's wrong?" Lumine asked. "W-why'd she die?" Kody sobbed. "Who?" Lumine asked. "M-my m-mother," Kody sniffed, not looking up.

"Oh. I'm sorry," Lumine said sadly. "What exactly happened to her?" He asked gently. Kody shrugged, still trembling.

"You don't know?" Lumine said. Kody sat up and nodded, his eyes red and puffy from crying. "What happened to your dad again? Your adopted one?" Kody asked.

"Um...I don't know. It's been a long time now since I've seen him," Lumine said sadly. "Oh," Kody said. "I'm sorry I accused you of wanting money most. That was really stupid of me," he said. Lumine shook his head. "No, your feelings are important to me. I hate when people bottle up their feelings and don't talk about them," Lumine said. "You're really important to me, Kody. You're like my little bro to me!"

Kody smiled. "You are, too," He said. Lumine felt his cheeks burn up. Why does the always happen? He thought.

~Kody's POV~
I keep seeing Lumine's cheeks turn red whenever he's around me. I hope he's not still sick!

Wait. No. Does he like me? God, Kody, stop thinking that! Forget that. I don't even care about that!

~Lumine's POV~
I decided to talk to my school friend, Cecily (he goes to school now). I pulled my phone out and sent her a text.

Lumine: Hey Cecily!

Cecily: Hi!

Lumine: listen I gotta talk w/ you

Cecily: sure what's up?

Lumine: Uh can u meet me after school tomorrow?

Cecily: um ok

I turned my phone off and saw Kody peering over at my phone. He had his bored, emotionless face on. "Cecily, huh?" He said, clearly hating her.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked. "Never mind," said Kody and walked away. I rolled my eyes and laid down on my bed, staring at the ceiling.
