As I slowly opened my eyes I understood why I felt that way, it WAS a hospital room and I was the patient, hopefully, not dying. I tried getting up but the nurse told me that I shouldn't be moving, but too late I had already tried to move and I felt a sharp pain in my head and neck. The nurse walked over to me and comforted me, she said that the pain will go away soon but I'll have to take care till it does. She checked something on her notepad and left the room. Soon enough a doctor walked into the room he looked really friendly somewhat like…I screwed my face as Marc came into my mind. He walked over to me and checked my pulse and ruffled my hair. "How are you feeling Ian?" "Good, still sore but I'm fine. Thanks to you." "Well, I'm not the one you should be thanking, Ian." "Why not? You DID save my life and all, it's the least I can do." "Well, we wouldn't have been able to help you if it weren't for your neighbor…" he checked his pad and said, "Reynolds…Marc, Reynolds." "What do you mean? What happened?" "Ian, when you got here you had lost a lot of blood and your body was seriously damaged. He brought you here, tears rolling down his eyes and he's the reason you're alive right now. Fortunately, you both are B+ and lets just say you owe him the blood in your veins. Its 3 in the morning Ian, and he's still out there waiting for you to come to." Saying this he walked out the door and I heard him talk to Marc and finally Marc walked in. His white was now red with dried blood, which I knew was mine. He sighed with relief when he saw me and smiled, but suddenly he broke the smile and walked over to me and sat down in the chair beside the bed. We both stared at each other, not saying a word until I said, "I'm sorry Marc. I should've…" "Sorry for what? It's me who over-reacted. I was being stupid. Ian, I'm the one who should be sorry" "You? Marc, it was my fault. I shouldn't have presumed that you were single. I actually thought you could love me." "But I AM single and I DO love you" "But…but you pushed me away. That photograph you were looking, I know the way you looked at it. The guy I saw you with before…you know, this. I saw him kiss you" "You think you know me so well? And that is beside the fact that you were spying on me" He said almost giggling, "That guy you saw kissing me, on the forehead by the way, was my brother, Rick. Listen to me carefully Ian. When you left that day, I became really depressed. My brother had called me a couple of times but I didn't return his calls, so, he finally decided to come over to see me. When all this happened, I was really scared. I was so scared I was going to lose you; I didn't want to lose you, not again. Not without letting you know how I felt. Rick stayed with me, comforting me. He made me realize what you meant to me. He told me that I was not only hurting myself but also you by not getting over Michael." "And Michael is…?" I saw his eyes becoming moist when I asked him that, "Marc, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." "No its okay…Michael was my first love. I was 20 when I met Michael through a friend; he was 16 at that time. I was the first guy he came out to. We soon hit it off and I found myself loving him more everyday. We were together for 2 years; there was no end to our love. Once his parents were away at a party when I went over at his house. We sat watching some videos. Time seemed to fly by when we were together. When I was ready to leave he walked me to the door and started kissing me just when his parents walked in on us. His Dad was furious. He threw me out and I never saw Michael again. His parents sent him away to some boarding school. After a few months his father came over to my apartment and beat me up. Michael had killed himself and his father blamed me, and so did I. I tried to get over Michael but the rumors I had to face were too much. Almost everything there reminded me of him. That's when I decided to move on with my life and moved here. I had almost succeeded in my attempt to get over Michael's death when you moved in next door. The first day you came here I was watching you through my window, you reminded me so much of Michael. When I got to know you through your Mom and our talks, I couldn't believe how much you were like him. I convinced myself to believe that you weren't interested, and that day when you kissed me it triggered all those memories of Michael, of our love…of his death. I didn't want to face all that again, I was…I'm scared Ian. I…" with that he broke down crying. "Marc, I had no idea that…" I couldn't find anything to say to Marc that might even remotely comfort him, I didn't. The only thing I could do was being honest, to tell him what I really felt, "Marc, I love you too." It took him some time to actually assess what I had said; he looked up the tears still in his eyes. He gave me a quick smile before he broke down again; he came over and hugged me tightly. His arms were hurting my sides but at that time that I wouldn't have exchanged that feeling for any joy in the world. I wanted him to know I was there for him, and I will always be. He smiled again as he looked at me, stroking his fingers on the side of my face. I think he was about to kiss me just before I was startled by my Mom's voice. Marc had called them while I was unconscious; my parents had left their number with him too. Tears welled up in my mother's eyes even though I knew it didn't look all that bad. My parents asked me the usual stuff that you'd ask a person in the hospital before firing me with their words of safety that started with, "Why didn't you…" or "How could you…" I was left alone after some time to let me get some rest and I needed it. But I was afraid that I might wake up in my room and all of this would have been a dream. I slept for a couple of hours, I was afraid to open my eyes when I got up but the pain in my head told me I had nothing to worry about, I drifted off to sleep again and the dreams couldn't possibly be more pleasant. Chapter 6 I woke up in the middle of the night. I knew I wasn't alone; I looked around and saw Marc asleep in the chair near the bed. He had fallen asleep holding my hand, and still was. I squeezed his hand before taking it out of his grip. The moonlight streamed in through the windows and onto Marc's body. I had thought that there was no way he could look more beautiful, but I knew now that I had been wrong. His broad chest rose and fell with every single breath. His hair shined in the light and his skin…He opened his eyes stopping my train of thoughts. He was first startled when he saw me awake and staring at him but he soon calmed down and smiled at me. "Hey, how are you feeling?" "Good but not as much as you look. Why aren't my parents here?" "Your aunt Daisy got worse. I told them that I'll take care of you and convinced them to go see her." "Oh…Thanks! And it's not Daisy, its Macy" "Whatever, right now I just need to remember one 3 lettered name" "You certainly have a way with words." I said, "You, don't mind me and get some sleep. I've been sleeping whole day I'll just stay awake and stare at you if you don't mind" "Don't worry about me. I'm bit of an Insomniac, plus I've gotten used to staying up late, thanks to my job." "Can I get some water please? I'm really thirsty" "I bet you are and hungry." He passed me a bottle of water and said, "There's this 24-hour restaurant nearby. I'll just be 15 minutes" Saying this he took his coat and left. I hated to be alone, the same moonlight that made Marc look like a god was now making the room look like eerie. I just sat there thinking about what all had happened in my life. None of it seemed real, I wasn't even sure if it was, but I couldn't have wanted it any other way, well, the pain that the accident left, that I could do without. I wondered where this was leading, and for how long? My life had completely changed in a span of just 24 hours. All this seemed like one of those unbelievable fictional stories that you find on gay websites or message boards, a fantasy of some loveless writer. Thoughts moved in and out of my head, but it soon stopped as the door opened and Marc walked in. He handed me a large burger and sat down with his as we devoured our food. None of us spoke for quite some time; we just sat there drinking each other in. I suddenly remembered what I'd been thinking about in his absence and finally decided to ask him, "So where do we go from here?" "Well, tomorrow we'll go home. You'll have to stay with me till your parents come back." "OK, but that wasn't what I was asking" "Oh, so what WERE you asking?" "Umm, where do we go from here as in where does our relationship go now?" "Ian, you can't take it anywhere, it's love and it'll go where it has to. Nothing HAS to change between us and neither do we." "Oh, ok, wait…did you just say I'm gonna live with you now" "Till, your parents get here. And Ian you're still 15 so don't expect things, your still illegal." "Good, I didn't want to rush it either. But you DO know I wouldn't tell anyone." "I do, but it's not a legitimate reason. As much as I want to, we're gonna have to wait a year or two. I don't want to make a mistake, not again." Well, at least I know he's not a fiend or a psychopath. We talked till dawn, which was like a couple of hours. For those hours he made me forget that I was in pain, or even if I ever had an accident. He was the only treatment I needed. In the morning he said he had to take care of some things, he got me breakfast and left. I was feeling better, much better actually; I couldn't wait to get out of that place. Marc came back after an hour or so and gave me my clothes, he had been at my house, I guessed my parents must have given him the keys. I got dressed with a slight discomfort and bid the doctor goodbye. Marc drove me home, ahem, to my new home. No one talked on the way; I guess it all still felt awkward. He finally said, "Ian, now that we're together, you're mine, and you better start believing it. Whatever I do to you, you can't stop me, and you won't." ******************************************* Hi again, I'm sorry I had to the whole hospital sequence but it was important to the story line. Here I have to warn you, this is where it starts getting a *bit* soap opera'ish (or has it already started) but I hope I don't lose you all with it. I'm sorry that because of my exams I could only reply to people who were first time mailers or had something importanat to be answered, so if you don't get a reply please try again after a couple of days. I think you've noticed that I put Ch 5 and 6 together. That's just 'cause 6 was shorter and could fit in. I know after reading the above chapters some of you are going, "I knew that was gonna happen" but trust me if the Ch 9, doesn't throw you away, nothing will. Anyway...I've got exactly 45 mails from readers right now, and I realise that not everyone that reads it writes back but how do I know you guys really like it or not. So if you've read it, liked it and not mailed me, then start your mail client now and get to this address: kamguy@alexandria.cc If you don't I might just have to come to you with chains and a whip, I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!!! Ok, about the contest. Most of the readers want to take it slow and only a few want to take the quick way out so in interest of the larger section here I'm not gonna do the contest. Which is good, 'cause I just looooooooooove to leave you guys hanging. I hope I have your interest so far. Oh, and one last thinng...people who think this is going to end up in a very bad porno movie, you have to go and find something else. Kam. :)
