Survival (Mature themes)

[kayan]

Kayan trailed his hand over the material in awe, blushing at the realisation that he actually wanted this... something he considered to be a dress. "?It won't be weird if I wear this?" Kayan asked om a whisper feeling that he should at least give a token protest on behalf of his own pride, but his blush continued to give him away.

///

Raen wrapped his arms around Kahil and simply held him, looking over him to the receptionist before silently mouthing a soft request for tea.

[Light Yefran]

"Nope. You'll look wonderful in it," Light touched a cheek, smiling. "Do you like it?" He didn't really have to ask, Kayan's blushing face gave it away.

///

He nodded, and stood quietly, going of to get the requested tea. Kahil muttered a groggy 'sorry' into Raen's chest.

((Sorry!~ I'm working now, so, in the mornings I have no time to get on, and I don't get home until aout 7:00 my time, so, I don't know when i'll be able to catch you online T~T))

[Light Yefran]

((Both of us))

Kayan chewed his lip before nodding grudgingly. He trailed a hand over the material watching the shimmer in awe. It reminded him of a night sky dancing yet strangely pale, a contrast to the actual black of the one he was used to.

///

"It's no problem. I mean. what life giver doesn't want a drop dead gorgeous life bearer in his arms?" He silently thanked the receptionist before drawing away and reaching for the tea, offering a cup to Kahil.

~~~

"I'm glad. There's a bit of the roll left. You can think of something to make of it then." He stood to retrieve said roll and placed it back in the closet.

"I still have a bit to get done before I can come and stay with you."

"We're doing fine. His drip is almost done anyways," Lemor gestured to the I.V. which was almost empty. He came forward after letting them have their moment, to study the robes in awe. "They're so beautiful...you're going to look gorgeous Kayan."

///

He flushed a deep pink, and scrubbed at his cheeks, taking the cup of tea. This time, he blew on it, thanking him again, more quietly, and more in control of himself. Kahil felt so stupid losing control like that. ANd he was troubled....because he had enjoyed being in those arms so much...it was kind of scary...but...nice.

~~~

"You think so?" Kayan looked uncertain and hopeful "But it's a dress." He pointed out. "Men don't look good in dresses. especially human men." He chewed his lip

///


Raen ruffled his hair before accepting his own tea and blowing on it as well. "So... you like the circus?" he asked randomly

~~~

Lemor raised his brows, before grinning. "But it's not a dress....it's robes. And you're going to look stunning. A dress would just be....its totally different,"

"He's right. I mean, I wouldn't look good in dress either, and I definately wear robes...But I have to get going. I'll be back in a bit, alright?" He kissed a forehead, stroking a cheek in affection before heading out again.

///

"C..Circus?" He asked in suprise, taking a cautionary sip of tea. "Well...I mean...I haven't been to one in awhile. When I was younger...maybe..I don't really remember," he shrugged. He couldn't remember many instances of them going to the circus. Not ever when he'd been a teenager...

~~~

Kayan nodded, watching Light leave before looking at Lemor again, still trailing his fingers over the material. "It's pretty." He stated, chewing his lip. "Far too pretty for me." His voice was wistful and dreamy.

///

"Would you and Jermani like to go? One I know will be in town next week. Might be nice to get out once in a while, don;t you think?" He took another sip

~~~

"Are you kidding? Have you looked in a mirror? You're so very pretty. Th robes are going to fit perfectly with your hair, and those beautiful eyes of yours." Lemor touched the material gently. "Want me to hang them up for you? Your ceremony is tomorrow, isn't it? I was suposed to cook for it but..."

///

"I...." He bit his lip. Jermani, for how old he tried to act, was still just a kid. They hadn't gone on vacation in years, not even an outing. Had they even considered going anywhere...? Ever? "I think that would be nice....Jermani might like it..." He nodded, smiling a bit. Yes, Jermani had neve been to the circus...

~~~

Kayan blinked in shock, freezing half way through nodding in agreement to the question about hanging the robes. "Tomorrow?" he squeeked. "Tomorrow, tomorrow?"

///

"Good." Raen gave a secretive smile his eyes sparkling with things hidden.

~~~

"I...I just assumed...isn't it? I don't know for sure...oh please don't look so panicked," he pleaded, half way through taking the robes carefully.

///

He flushed again, and chose not inquire why the handsome giver was giving him such a devilish look. He shifted from one foot to the other, staring into his tea. "I um..."

"You have an appointment coming in, in a few minutes, Kahil. Raen, there's a man on the phone for you. A doctor from the hospital?" The receptionist hated to break up the atmosphere, but the guy sounded like he needed to talk to Raen now. "I think he said his name was Dr. Salome?"

~~~

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow?" He squeeked again trying to remember what Light had said. "I can't remember what Light said. " He said in distress.

///

Raen nodded, walking past Kahil and ruffling his hair once more. "I'll be back." He stated before walking over and answering the phone. "Hello?"

~~~

"I'm probably wrong, so please don't worry." He hung up the robes, before coming back to the bed. "Light will be able to set us straight when he gets back, right?

///

"Ah, Raen! I've been trying to get ahold of you. I just wanted to check up on our patients. I do hope you go the I.V. bags I had sent over. And the vitamins. Kayan might need a few more, considering, but i'm sure you've got it all handled?" Kahil watched him, efore setting down his tea. His next patient would be in, in a few minutes, and he had to go make sure the room was ready...He paused nly a second before going to do so.

~~~

"t... it would be nice if... if it was tomorrow... only..." Kayan started to babble playing with the sheets beneath his hands.

///

"Yes, he currently has the I.V. in his arm and I will be going to take it out soon. He also has Lemor with him. The two of them need each others support right now. I'll pick up the vitamins as soon as I can." He watched Kahil out of the corner of his eye making sure the other was alright

~~~

"Only?" Lemor prompted, sitting down and takng hands, rather than let Kayan play with the sheets.

///

"That's fine, take your time. I gave you a few days worth between the both of them, in that litle packet I gave you. You should be fine until you pick up the others. I'm glad you're utilizing the clinic there. The head Healer has got a wonderful Record. We've tried to hire him twice, but he's turned us down. If you need anything from me, and can't get ahold of me, have him send in an order, okay?"

~~~

"I don't know." Kayan stated. "I'm so confused."

~~~

"Don'tworry about it, okay? Don't stress. If it's tomorrow, you'll be fine. If it's not, then you have something wonderful to look forward to." He smiled and squeezed his hands. "Now come on, lets get back to your letters?" He half asked, trying to get his mind off of things.

It was about an hour more before the I.V. ran out and he stood. "I'm going to call for Raen, okay? He can get that out of your arm, and maybe we can go find something good to eat before Light comes back." He moved to the door, opening it and looking around. A worker wandered past, and he touched his arm, asking him to go to the clinic and find a Doctor Raen, and have him come to see Kayan right away.

~~~

"But... but... Light shouldn't be... m.... mating me." He protested softly. :And if he... has time to think, he'll realise what a mistake this is." Kayan bowed his head and looked down at the letters once more. He remained silent as the drip finished lost in his thoughts and confusion.

~~~

"You're the only one saying so...I bet Light thought about alot of things since he's met you, and I know if he did think about mating you, he wouldn't change his mind for anything. He really loves you Kayan.." He closed the door once the worker had gone off, and came back to sit beside him, petting hair back.

///

"Is there a Doctor Raen here?" The worker entered the health clinic, staring around.

"I'll get him," the receptionist stood and moved back the hallway to knock upon the door. "Sorry to bother you," He bowed his head. "There's a man out here asking for Dr. Raen? He has a message for you.."

~~~

" I don't know why." Kayan admitted absently drawing letters. "I've done things, so many things, dirty things..."

///

Raen walked to the worker nodding at the message before asking the receptionist to let Kahil know he would be right back. He stepped out and headed back towards the room he had left the life bearers in calling a soft greeting as he entered. "Hey, I'm back"

~~~

"But Light loves you...he doesn't care about those things, only you-" He was cutoff by Raen's greeting, and looked up, smiling.

"Bout time," he teased. "Kayan's I.V. is done. "

~~~

Raen nodded, smiling as he approached. He gently reached out and took Kayan's arm, pulling out the I.V and putting on a plaster as a soothing gesture. "See, it wasn't so bad." He stated softly glancing around and spotting the robes. "Those are beautiful robes." He complimented approaching them and trailing his fingers over the material before grinning at Kayan. "Very fitting for you."

~~~

"See?? I told him they were. They're so beautiful. He's going to look stunning at his an Light's ceremony." Lemor sat back down, glad the I.V. was done. He wanted to get Kayan out of this room, so he wouldn't wallow and think of himself like he often seemed to do.

"Are we okay to move about now? We were going to go to the dininghall and maybe see about food," Lemor glanced to Kayan, to see if he agreed with that idea.

[kayan]

"Sure." Raen stated packing the equipment. "Just nothing too strenous, ok? And I mean both of you. I want to see a lot of relaxing, reading, painting and such." He smiled waggling his finger playfully. "And no horsing around." He turned and slipped out the room heading back towards the clinic and Kahil.

Kayan chewed his lip, clutching the pen he held tightly in a death grip. He didn't know if food was a good idea or not. He was a touch hungry but he was remembering feeling sick and couldn't decide which feeling was more dominant at the moment.

[Light Yefran]

Lemor closed the door and leaned against it. "Feel better now that that's out?" He asked, watching Kayan, before moving over to him. "Hey..you look a bit..like maybe eating isn't such a good idea...?" He suggested.

[kayan]

Kayan chewed his lip and nodded absently rubbing at the plaster in his arm, wanting to scratch at the mark left by the needle. He glanced up at Lemor and then glanced down again his mind racing. Finally, unable to sort through his confusion, he spoke. "But isn't it bad for the baby?" He asked.

[Light Yefran]

Lemor licked his lips, shifting. "Yes....yes, it's not too good to put off eating, but...but making you eat too much when you're not used to it, and making you sick, that would be even worse.." He tried to reason.

[kayan]

Kayan shook his head scowling. "Nope." He stood and slipped out of bed, mind finally made up. "I'm coming with you. I'll eat what I can. Besides." Suddenly he grinned. "I'd really like some pineapple."

[Light Yefran]

((Sorry! ~_~ I got up late for work this morning and didn't get a chance to post TAT))

Lemor grinned back. "Then pineapple it shall be. And whatever else we can get into you. Come on," He motioned for his friend and held the door open for Kayan to go first.

[kayan]

Kayan slipped through the door hiding a smile. He suddenly realised that he had never been so happy and even though he was sure he didn't deserve it, at this point in time, in this very moment, he didn't really care so before he could stop himself he turned impulsively hugging Lemor. "Thank you." He whispered.

///

Raen finally made it back to the clinic carrying a tray piled high with various steaming food. He slid it onto the receptionists table, smiling. "Food." He stated before turning to leave. "I'm off to find Kahil and then we can eat." He whistled casually as he walked hands in pockets, peering into the various patient rooms.

[Light Yefran]

Lemor jumped, but then smiled and laughed. "You're welcome," he ruffled hair, unsure for what he was being thanked, but touched all the same. He hugged him back.

///

"Okay!~" The receptionist called, eyeing the tray like it was a godsend. Food....

Kahil busilly entered things into the holoscreen, such as patients names that day and such. He leaned forward, the tip of his tongue sticking out as he typed in the last one. Th last thing he expected was for someone to walk through the door.

[kayan]

Kayan smiled as he pulled back and headed for the kitchens. Sliding a chair out, he sat down looking around for food, his nose assailed by wonderful scents that though strange still were mouthwatering. He could feel his mouth begin to water despite the fact that he hadn't been hungry but a moment before.

///

Spotting Kahil, Raen knocked softly to let the other know he was there before walking in completely. "I brought food but if you give me five to ten minutes or so I can also try to arrange a surprise." He stated softly.

[Light Yefran]

"Saeba! You have two very hungry, pregnant life-bearers!~ I'm snagging a tray, honey, we want some pineapple," Lemor called into the back room, to the cook that had taken his place while he was on leave. "Here we go..an array of things...he'll bring the pineapple." He set the tray down and took a seat.

///

"S..suprise?" Lemor smiled shyly, and sat back in his chair. "Y..you don't have to...I mean...bringing food..that's so generous already....." He murmured, though he was secretely curious as to what said suprise would be.....

[kayan]

Kayan blinked at the sound of the new name glancing around as Lemor spoke. Still looking around he reached for some food frowning at the unfamiliar colours and shapes before stuffing it into his mouth anyway grinning when he realised he liked it. He didn't even get as far as thanking Lemor suddenly throwing himself at the food for some reason suddenly ravenous. He didn't even pause to speak at all.

///

"Okay, I'll be right back." Raen stated turning and slipping out gracefully. He quick;y and efficiently made his way to Kahil's apartment at the inn before knocking on the door, hoping Jermani had made it back safely.

[Light Yefran]

Lemor grinned and grabbed another tray, starting on that, groaning. Food....

From the back, a red-haired teen appeared. "Hi Lemor. Got yer pineapple. Sliced or cubed?" He asked, setting down his burden of things. He pulled a chopping board to himself to begin cutting the skin off.

"Kayan? How do you want the pineapple?"

///

It took a few minutes, as Jermani had to rollout of bed, tousel his hair into place, before slinkng to the door. He made himself as presentable as possible. Kahil never knocked....he hoped it was't his principal.

"Yeah?" He opened he door a little, before letting it open more when he saw Raen was there.
