XXXXV - "Groomers"

"Diamonds?"

I turned my head to see a very drowsy Kai in the passengers seat as we leave the base.

"Yeah Finnels?" I ask in the same tone.

"Can I stay with you until this whole situation blows over?" He asks nervously.

I was a little shocked at his words, but I knew the reason behind it. Liam even asked me to sleep in the same bed as him, Kai is restless I guess. He just wants to get back on track, everybody wants him to get back on track.

"Of course," I reply with a small smile, "We'll go to your house right now and I'll help you pack a suitcase," I offered.

He beamed at me and his adorable boyish smile plastered his face as I called Liam to tell him the plan. I don't know what has gotten over me, but one minute I'm pissed at Kai and telling him I don't need his help, and then the next, I'm fucking cuddling with him. It's hard to not care anymore, it's hard to try and be angry with him when he's giving me more and more reasons to be near him. But it's okay, once this whole mission turns out successful, we may never have to see each other again. Other than school of course, but other than that, never again. I just have to go through this without reminding myself of his mistake, easy peasy, right? (Note the sarcasm)

I pull up into his driveway and we head into the house and up the stairs. I tried avoiding of looking up at the interior because it would only remind me of when I left, so I kept my eyes glued to Soldier the entire time.

We entered Kai's bedroom and I was astonished at the things that it held. I realized I had never been in Kai's room before and it wasn't anything like I imagined. Many blank canvases and unfinished ones were placed amongst the room and scattered about. Paint brushes and buckets and many metal or wooden palettes were placed all over the room and I stopped in my tracks to admire the paintings.

Some were beautiful landscapes of sunsets or of a forest. Some were the ocean and it had a lot of precise detail in it. But the one that caught my eye was the side view of a girl with a golden mask on her face, her black high ponytail was all ruffled up and some tassels hung about her face. Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead and her muscles were nicely defined as well as her abs. But what I really loved the lost was the amount of detail that was put into her tattoo of roses, but what was underneath it pulled me in more.

Under the tattoo was a faded, but visible scar of shattered jewels. The shatters decorating her arm like her tattoo and the way it was as faded as mine. Flashes of light were shown in the dark background as well as the silhouettes of the audience and I absolutely adored it.

"You like it?" I heard Kai ask from behind me which made me jump back.

"You frightened me," I laughed as I placed a hand over my heart.

"But do you?" He asked nervously. I reached up to his head and started smoothing out the creases his forehead made and that made him relax a bit.

"I love it," I smile and that causes him to smile as well, which was soon followed by a yawn.

"We should get going if you want to go to sleep," I said as I started moving towards his suitcase. He softly pulled it away from me and we started going back out the door.

Once we had made it to the car and pulled out of the driveway I turned to Kai, "You don't want to eat first? The chefs should be finishing up dinner by now," I suggested.

As if on cue Kai's tummy grumbled and he chuckled, "I guess so."

On the way home I couldn't help but feel good that I'm doing something for someone again. I haven't been doing many personal good deeds for anyone lately since I've been so engrossed into the gang, but helping someone out again makes my body fill with happiness. I missed doing good deeds and making others heal from their situation, I missed talking to someone so calmly but yet so humorous, and I didn't want to lose this feeling again.
