chapter 5
- * * The Two roommates lay with eachother, granting eachother comfort neither had had in a long time. It was very comfortable sleeping with someone like this. He wished he would have thought of it sooner. Still he didn't want to cross the line and snuggle to close to his roommate though he strongly wished he could. Kitai slept deeply his body almost completely still besides his breathing. The two painkillers had dulled the pain so he could sleep without tossing and turning. Dreams didn't even disturb him as he slept leaving the Husky seemingly lifeless next to his roommate. It wasn't long until morning came and went. Ramon stirred a bit and blinked a couple times waking up. Kitai's paw had some how made it to his waist while they slept and it was giving him an uncomfortable tight feeling in his shorts. He couldn't remove himself from Kitai either what with his arm being used as a pillow. I suddenly sneezed into the fur of Ramon's arm waking with a start. I sniffled a bit and rubbed my nose with my arm. I looked over at the tiger and gave a weak chuckle. "Sorry" I said softly a bit embarrassed, apparently the fur of the others arm had tickled my nose. Ramon removed his arm with a kind grossed look. "Thanks." he said a bit more relieved that he could move away from Kitai's other paw. Sitting up in more of a sitting position he was able to relax enough to let his groin calm down. I chuckled a little more and pulled the paw that had wandered o the others waist back beside me. 'When did that happen?' I asked myself. I looked smiling up as the tiger sat up and moved away a little. "Thanks for staying with me..." I told him softly. Ramon nodded. "Your welcome. It was nice sleeping with someone for a change." He felt more comfortable around Kitai now after this, but still nervous. It was still a battle between his mind and heart over what to do if he could do anything. I nodded my agreement. "It was nice sleeping with someone, without sex." I said softly. Yea, even being with a different guy every night. I was lonely, But I saw that as an unfortunate side effect of my profession for the moment. Ramon nodded. "You know I do sleep right across from you in the room. If you ever wanted to do this again you can just ask." He said offering Kitai the chance to sleep together again. I smiled at that and nodded. "Well since I'm not gonna be whoring at least for now, We'll actually probably being going to sleep around the same time." I told him. Ramon nodded to that. He turned and looked out the window. It was going to be a rainy day. "Well we will have to see about you getting out of here first though." He said. I nodded. "Yea." I said softly. "You don't have to stay.... If you have somewhere to go." I said softly seeing the tiger look out the window. Ramon shook his head. "Not really. My homework is all caught up for the week. I was just going to relax this weekend with my roommate. I just didn't expect it to be in a hospital." He said "Sorry." I murmured. "Its all my fault." I said softly turning my head to stare at the wall instead of Ramon. "If only I had gone with them that day." I muttered to myself. Ramon turned back to Kitai and reached over pulling his chin back so he could look at Kitai in the face. "I'm glad you didn't." he said looking at Kitai with a smile. I smiled a little as my chin was turned to face Ramon. "I swear, sometimes I can still hear their screams." I said softly, reaching up to take Ramon's paw in mine as I took it off my chin. Ramon nodded. "I'm here to talk about it. It should help you to talk about it." He said squeezing Kitai's paw with his. I held to Ramon's paw, almost as if I let go, id be lost into the darkness. "I've never even mentioned it to most people." I said softly. The tiger nodded. "I can understand that. If you don't want to tell me you don't have to. But, just know I'm here." He told me. I held onto Ramon's paw that much tighter as I slowly let my self into the darkness of my life. "I guess the best place to begin.... Is the beginning." I almost laughed at the cliché ness of that statement. The tiger nodded as he settled down to listen to me. I felt him take my paw and give it a squeeze. I gave Ramon a weak smile as I swallowed and began. "I guess I had a decent life, middle class parents. Never went hungry. Didn't have the best of everything...." I sniffled a bit. "But we were happy." I said softly. "Had great parents, went to everything I ever did. From little league baseball, To chess tournaments." I blinked, beginning to cry. Ramon nodded wiping some of the tears from Kitai's face. It was all he could do other then squeeze Kitai's paw as he listened to Kitai's story. Seeing him crying though hurt him a lot. I sniffled a bit taking a shaky breath. "I did the normal kid stuff, Baseball, basket ball... Wrestling hmmmm I liked wrestling. And they also pushed me to do mental stuff as well. I went down to the local park and played chess with all the old guys" I chuckled a little remembering that. "I knew I was gay all along, though I didn't really have a word for it, SO I asked mom" I said simply before breaking into tears again. Ramon nodded wiping the tears away again. He squeezed Kitai's paw and rubbed the backside of it. He was feeling bad now with how upset Kitai was getting telling him all this. He just couldn't stop Kitai though as he knew he had to tell someone. I sighed softly trying to collect myself. "I had to be about thirteen, I think" I said softly. "Well She told me the truth, Explained what gay was. Explained that it was ok and all that stuff." I began crying heavily and couldn't continue as I remembered my mom. Ramon rubbed Kitai's back nodding a bit as I listened. "It must have been a shook for to hear you were gay." I squeezed my eyes shut. "Yea, all of a sudden, I knew. That all the jokes about faggots and cocksuckers.... were about me too." I sniffled a bit looking up at Ramon. "And of course she told dad, he gave the same reaction, It was ok." Ramon nodded. "They loved you." He said understanding some what. He didn't want to get into how his experience was different because this was Kitai's time to tell him about his past. I nodded a little and squeezed his paw even tighter. "Well one day we were gonna go shopping, Well being a big bad teenager finally. I decided not to go..... And they allowed me to stay home alone." I burst out into sobs at this and kept Ramon's paw in a vice grip. Ramon rubbed Kitai's back again and rubbed the back of his paw comfortingly. He knew this was the hardest part to talk about. He pulled Kitai close then into a hug to comfort him more. Ramon just hugged him for a while giving Kitai time to cry and grieve over his parents. He rubbed Kitai's back some more and the top of his head around his ears to help him calm down. After a long while my sniffles slowly subsided. "Well I stood outside on the porch as they got into the car, excited I was finally being treated like a big boy." He smiled a little at this. "Well as they pulled out into the street, now we lived on a fairly main street so there was a fair amount of traffic, But even then there had been less accidents on my street than the surrounding ones." I sniffled tensing up a bit. "All of a sudden I heard my mom scream" I shuddered visibly. "Not a second later they were slammed into by a truck.... you know one of those ones with a million wheels." I once again broke into tears against the other. Ramon nodded feeling he was actually tearing a bit himself listening to this. He kept rubbing Kitai's head and ears to comfort him while he kept crying from the telling of what happened. I swallowed heavily. "I don't remember much of what happened next. I've been told I was found curled up under the porch just shaking." I said softly. "It apparently took a few cops to get me out from under there and then a few more to keep me from running over to the wreckage of their car. " I said softly trying to keep from crying again. "Well, how would you react, if you were told your parents were gone?" I asked softly, not really wanting an answer. MY throat was dry and cracking as I talked. Ramon swallowed hard. "I don't know what I would do if they said my step parents were gone. I guess they are like real parents." He rubbed the Husky's ears some more. I swallowed heavily. I could barely talk, my throat was so dry. "Ramon? I need a drink.." I said my voice cracking. Ramon nodded letting go of Kitai and getting up. "I'll be right back." He went out and soon returned with a glass of water for Kitai to drink. Sitting back down he handed it to Kitai. I took the glass shakily. I took long slow swallows quickly finishing the glass. "Thanks." I said softly, with a long sigh. I swallowed and started again. "I was held in the police station as they tried to find relatives to place me with. They found an uncle up-state." I told him sighing. "They took me back to my house to get my things, I gathered all my money and a few clothes, I didn't have much else." I added softly. "On the trip up there I managed to slip away from the cop that was escorting me and I went to the one place I knew I could disappear... the city." Ramon nodded. "That is how you ended up on the street." He said sitting there listening to Kitai's story. I nodded "Yea, thirteen and alone in the city." I murmured. "I obviously couldn't afford a place to live, SO I slept on the streets, using the little money I had brought to feed myself." I sighed softly. "Well there's not much for a teen to do for money in the city, and my funds quickly ran out after a week. I had to resort to begging, but even that wasn't enough." I sighed softly, This was something I had never told anyone. "One day, I had a guy come up to me and offer me some money, I don't remember how much, but it was enough to feed me for a few days." I said. "But.... It would come at a price." I looked at Ramon and sighed softly, figuring the other could guess what the guy had wanted. Ramon nodded. "You don't have to get into it. It is the same thing you do now so I can guess what he wanted." I nodded simply, "Yea, that's when I realized there was money in it, that I could make a lot of money, enough to eat and afford a cheep motel. So that's how that got started." I sighed softly. "But I guess I was one of the lucky ones to make it this far." I sighed and shifted a bit and put my head on my arms again as I lay back out on my stomach. Ramon nodded. "I'm surprised you didn't catch any sexually transmitted diseases." he said relaxing back against the bed. I nodded. "Yea, me too." I said softly. "Sometimes I don't know how I made it." I said softly. "I made it this far just to fuck up and get myself hurt." I muttered beginning to cry once more. Ramon rubbed Kitai's back. "Yeah, but it isn't bad at all. You are alive which is what matters." He said as he kept rubbing the back of the husky. I smiled relaxing as the other rubbed my back my ears laying back contently. "Thanks." I said softly. Just then there was a knock on the door. "Hello Kitai?" Came the doctors voice. "I wanted to come check up on you." He said coming smiling. I looked up at the sound of the knock. I sighed at the voice of the doctor. I watched him come in and shrugged listening to him. "Well, I'm still sore." I told him flatly, "And I still cant sit up for long." The Wolf smiled at that. "That is good." He turned towards Ramon. "I will ask you to leave the room please. Need some privacy while I check your friend here." Ramon looked a bit perplexed by this as he had seen Kitai's rump and tail hole the other day. But, he was the doctor. Once Ramon was out of the room the Doctor gave the Husky a warm smile. "My horse friends said they had fun with you a lot the other night. They are sorry you got so hurt from it. They can be such bastards." I was confused as well when Ramon was made to leave blinking a bit. I watched the tiger go still confused. I looked at the doctor and noticed the smile. MY eyes widened in shock at the wolf's words, my ears folding back. "Yea, well it doesn't matter, just do your job." I murmured. The Doctor looked at him perplexed. He just shrugged and removed the blankets to do his job. "You are doing much better. No more bleeding. Just some sores and cuts that a healing nicely. In fact if you want you can leave the hospital today. It is up to you." He put the blanket back. "We will provide you with some painkillers and I would recommend picking up some these," he wrote out a name of a medicine on a piece of paper. "You won't need a prescription for these and they will help." He stood up and straightened his shirt. "My friends said you were a great guy. I see now they were wrong. Have a good day." he walked out then leaving the door open. By the time Ramon returned I was sitting up on the edge of the bed, with a grimace of pain on my face. I was breathing slowly clenching my teeth against the pain. I wanted out of there, now. I looked up when the tiger walked in. "We're leaving." I murmured. Ramon nodded moving towards Kitai. "Are you sure? You might still be hurt." He could tell something had happened to upset Kitai, but he didn't want the husky doing something careless. "Doctor said I could leave!" I snapped a bit rougher than I meant to. I held out the paper to him, I didn't have pockets. "Doctor said to get those, and said they would give me pain killers." He told him. Ramon nodded knowing Kitai didn't want to talk about what happened. "Ok then." He said taking Kitai's arm to help him walk out. "I know something upset you, but you don't need to talk about it right now." He replied leading the way out. I put an arm around Ramon's shoulders still limping slightly as he led me out. I kept a cautious eye out for the wolf, My ears twitching this way and that. "I just wanna leave." I told him. Ramon nodded as he lead the way to his car. Once there he let Ramon into the back to lay down. He got into the drivers seat and started driving back to the school. "Going to have to do some seriously laundry when we get back." He said. "People are going to give you looks with just that blanket around you." I laid down and sighed. "I know, and I don't really care." I said softly. "I just need some rest." I told him. "Umm wanna order some pizza?" I asked smiling a little. Pizza was definitely my comfort food. Ramon nodded. "Sure sounds good. Besides I'll have to use the room phone anyways. My cell phone for some reason broke on me." "You dropped it while you were sleeping last night in the chair." I explained. "So what kinda toppings?" I asked. I was happy to get my mind off the wolf, but for some reason, I had the odd feeling I'd be hearing from him again. Ramon smiled. "I usually like a lot of meat on mine, but some veggie's. As much as being a tiger labels me as a meat eater I still like my veggies now and then." I shrugged. "What ever you want, Cus you're paying." I told him laughing a little with a smile. MY tail wagged a little weakly under the blankets. I shrugged. "What ever you want, Cus you're paying." I told him laughing a little with a smile. MY tail wagged a little weakly under the blankets. Ramon nodded as he pulled into his usual parking space. Getting out he helped Kitai walk back to the room under the looks of the other students. Once there he let go of Kitai and started stripping the blood stained sheets off of Kitai's bed. I leaned on the wall as I watched Ramon strip my bed. "Thanks." I said softly. I glanced around the room mumbling softly to myself. I was still distracted by thoughts of the doctor. He was cute and all, but how could he have just try to come on to me like that? While I was in the hospital? Ramon smiled throwing them into his laundry basket. "No problem. I'll probably have to throw them out now with how long they have been sitting with the stains on them. I have fresh sheets if you don't have any." He said pointing to the bottom drawer of his dresser. "They are in the bottom drawer." I looked up after a moment. "huh?" I asked, not really hearing the other. "oh... yea... fresh sheets." I mumbled, I moved from the wall and slowly made my way towards the tigers dresser to get sheets. The blanket held around me slipped from my body. Ramon saw the blanket slip from Kitai's body and then turned away not looking as he blushed like mad. He didn't know what to say as he stood there with his roommate exposed to the world. I cursed softly as I bent over wincing a little and wrapped the blanket around me again. "Sorry." I mumbled as I stumbled to his dresser and managed to get fresh sheets from the bottom drawer. Ramon nodded finally able to look back at Kitai. His blush was disappearing. He took the sheets from Kitai smiling and went about making the bed so Kitai could lay down. Finishing up soon he went to the phone. "Sausage and Green Peppers sound good to you?" He asked about to order pizza. I moved to the bed once it was made and laid down. I gave Ramon a smile. "Thanks a lot for everything." I told him warmly. "Uhh, Cancel the peppers, how's mushrooms sound?" I asked. Ramon nodded. "Sounds good to me." He said dialing the number. He talked to the person on the other end for a while and then hung up. "Well be here in a bit. Why don't you go get a shower while we wait. Will help you relax and will soothe your muscles." I shook my head. "No, I don't feel like a shower...." I chewed my lip for a moment. "Will you lay with me for awhile?" I asked softly a little embarrassed to be asking for this. The blushed showed in the pale skin in my ears. Ramon blushed a bit at being asked that. Still he had said it was ok. He got up from his bed where he sat down to lay against the wall next to Kitai. "I don't mind." he said putting a hand on Kitai's shoulder. I relaxed almost instantly at the others touch. I gave him a smile. "Sorry about the emotional trip down memory lane at the hospital." I said softly. "You probably didn't wanna hear my life story." I added gently. Ramon smiled. "Its ok. You needed to get it off you shoulders anyways." He yawned a bit going into his catnap mode. "Wake me when the pizza gets here." He said. I nodded and smiled. "thanks" I said softly. I leaned in and nuzzled the others cheek gently before closing my eyes as well, planning on dozing a bit, till the pizza arrived. Ramon nodded a bit in his sleep and was soon snoozing. His tail wagged a bit from side to side as he slept. Soon though there was a call to their room and he woke up as the pizza had arrived. I gave a yawn and woke. "Pizza?" I asked tiredly rubbing my eyes. I looked to the tiger next to me. "I got some money in my desk drawer, Pay with that." I told him before drifting off tiredly again. Ramon nodded getting up to get the money. He was surprised actually how much was in there. Taking out what he needed he went out to the fronts desk to get the pizza and then came back to the room. The smell woke him up instantly as he was hungry. I woke as the smell met my nose. I sat up leaning against the wall, Pizza was worth a little pain. "And sorry about how I sorta rushed outta the hospital." I told him, It seemed I was running Ramon around a lot. Ramon shrugged putting the pizza box down on the floor and opening it. He got some paper plates and handed Kitai one. "No problem." He replied. I took a piece of pizza and smiled. "That doctor was coming on to me." I said softly, I then stuffed my mouth with pizza. I don't know why I told Ramon, but it was upsetting me, so I figured I could tell Ramon. Ramon was upset with that. "That Bastard. He knew you were hurt and he hit on you? While he was working." Ramon took some pizza and bite into it angrily. I sighed softly as I finished half the slice in one bite. "He's friends with the horses." I mumbled softly blushing a bit. Ramon was even angrier about that being the case. "Well I hope you never ever see him again and if you do I swear I'll hit him so hard his children will feel it." He said angry now at the wolf doctor. MY ears drooped at this, I had never seen Ramon so angry. "Sorry, I shouldn't have told you." I mumbled, quickly stuffing the rest of the slice into my mouth. The thing was, that I really wouldn't mind seeing the doctor again, under different circumstances. The wolf had seemed nice enough, just not that good with timing and how to say things. Ramon sighed. "Sorry. I think I over reacted. I get like that sometimes." he was blushing now from it too as the reason he was angry was because he wanted to be with Kitai, not see some wolf doctor with him. I sighed softly swallowing the piece in my mouth. "It's ok." I said softly. "He seemed nice enough though." I said softly almost sinking a little. I was almost afraid Ramon was gonna blow at that. Ramon shrugged. "He is a doctor. They are suppose to be nice." He said taking another piece of pizza. "Besides you just meet him. He is probably just like everyone else who hires you." I narrowed my eyes at this. "Maybe he wasn't looking to hire me..... ever think of that?" I asked. "Maybe he actually was looking for a date." I said glaring at Ramon. I could hope couldn't I? Ramon shrugged. "Yeah right. By the way he knew those Horses he was just looking for a quick score." He said taking a bite of pizza. "He... he wouldn't have treated you right anyways." I sighed softly. "Yea I guess you're right." I conceded. "No one will ever want more with me than sex." I said sadly. "I need a shower." I mumbled and struggled to my feet. I found a towel and after losing the blanket, I wrapped the towel around me. I found my shower things and left the dorm stumbling a bit still. Ramon watched Kitai leave the room. "Not everyone." he said to the empty room. He shook his head and sighed taking another piece of pizza to eat. "If only you knew." he said taking a bite of the pizza. I was harassed the whole way to the shower, apparently the horses hadn't been quiet about their night of fun. I finally made my way to the shower and found an empty stall, starting to wash up. I kept getting things tossed into my stall: condoms, lube, even a small dildo. I groaned trying to focus on washing up and not falling over. Ramon sat there with his tail swaying from side to side. He was fighting a feeling in his gut on what to do. He wanted to tell Kitai everything about how much he loved him, but he felt rejected being rich like he is. After a few more moments I stepped from the stall to everyone's laughter. After a moment I realized what they were laughing at, My towel was gone. I started for the exit, naked. I couldn't even hurry, since I was still a bit sore, I felt myself being caressed and fondled as I walked. I snapped at a few furs but all that got was laughs. Ramon could hear the laughter outside and the commotion. He stood up to go see to find Kitai being harassed. He knew each and everyone who was doing it too. He was about to step in when a Bulldog came up and looked at everyone with a stern look. "Everyone back to their rooms this instant. If you don't I will file harassment charges." It was the Resident Hall Advisor, the person in charge of their floor. The other furs scuffed it off and dispersed saying Kitai was just lucky. Ramon grabbed a towel from his rack and gave it to Kitai. The Bulldog was angry as hell now about everything and ushered the boys back to their dorm room. I was shaking a bit as we were sent back to our dorm. As soon as we were in I couldn't help but turn and cling to Ramon. "I'm not even a person to them." I said softly almost ready to burst into tears at the whole situation. It didn't even register to me that I was hugging Ramon, and I was still naked. Ramon nodded turning to the bulldog. "What you going to do Alex?" He asked him. Alex looked like a thundercloud. "I'm going to go get the paperwork for Kitai to fill charges against them. Sexual harassment of that kind isn't tolerated at this school. Then I'm going to round everyone up and tell them to go clean the bathroom." I just pressed closer into Ramon as I listened to him talk to the RA. I couldn't file charges... all they would have to say was that I was whoring and I would be off to jail. Prostitution was illegal after all. I was shaking lightly. Ramon nodded. "I'll file the charges. Kitai isn't in any position to do so." Alex nodded at that. "Yeah I understand. Based on the rumors I would say that would be true. Still," he turned to look at Kitai with a smile on his face. "He is in the best of hands if I have ever saw them." He said smiling at the two of them. "I'll be back in a bit." He turned and went down the hall banging on doors and yelling at people to come out of their rooms as a bathroom needed cleaning. I smiled a little at Alex's comments and happily stayed against the Tiger. As soon as the door shut I burst into tears on the tigers shoulder. "You were right!" I sobbed. "All everyone sees in me is sex." I sobbed out almost incoherently. Ramon rubbed his back a bit at that. "No, not everyone does. I don't, Alex doesn't and I know my mom for sure doesn't. We are just helping you because of you. Not from what you do or what people think you do." He took Kitai over and sat him down on the bed. "Everything will be ok." He said trying to comfort the husky. I sat down on the bed with him and leaned into him wanting to stay in the tigers arms. "I cant believe people would do this." I mumbled softly. "Its like, just because I have sex for money, I'm not a person." I said softly, sadly. Ramon nodded. "People think it is a terrible thing to do. It is against the law for a reason. But, don't take that as a reason not to file charges. They would have to proof you were sleeping for money and that would mean they would be arrested for it too." I scoffed lightly. "Such a terrible thing, that almost all the furs that were harassing me have slept with me at least once." I muttered. "If I file charges Ill just get harassed more." Ramon shook his head. "No you won't. It will show that they can't do what they are doing to you." He said. He was getting angry at all of them. "No one has a right to do that to anyone." I sighed softly and just hugged the other. "Thanks" I said softly. "You're the only one who has treated me like a real person." I said softly. Ramon smiled at Kitai. "No need to thank me. I do it because I know you. Unlike everyone else around here." He hugged Kitai back. There was a knock on the door and Ramon got up to answer it. Alex handed him the paperwork and said to call him if they needed anything. Ramon nodded taking the papers and putting them on his desk. He went back to Kitai and hugged him close. "When you are ready I will take care of those." I smiled happily as I was hugged again and nodded. "Ok." I said softly. "I need to get some clothes on" I commented softly. I shifted out of Ramon's arms and went to my dresser. I found a pair of sweat pants and pulled them on, followed by a baggy old T shirt. Ramon nodded as he actually watched his roommate get dressed this time. For some reason seeing Kitai naked didn't bother him as much as it use to. It was because of all the times he had seen his roommate in that state in the past couple of days. He held out his arms then pulling Kitai into a comforting hug finding it almost instinctive to do now. I smiled as I was hugged once more. I snuggled against the other relaxing against the others warmth. "You're warm." I told him, chuckling before I pulled away. I went to the pizza that lay forgotten and grabbed a slice eating it quickly. Ramon chuckled at that. "You just noticed that?" he said watching the husky. "Your gorgeous." He saying his thoughts out loud which caused him to blush hugely from what he just said. I chuckled a bit and shrugged at his question. I smiled brightly at his comment. "Am I?" I asked softly, almost seductively, as I looked back over my shoulder at him. Ramon was trapped now as he gulped and slowly nodded feeling the blush becoming even more profound as his fur around is face was becoming more red then orange. He gulped again feeling as if the world just flipped upside down and sideways. "You're not bad lookin yourself, tiggy." I told him chuckling as I scarfed down another piece looking back away from Ramon. My tail wagged a bit behind me sticking through a hole in the back of the sweats. Ramon blushed a bit more and then loosened his collar of his shirt. "Is it more is it all of a sudden very hot in here." He said standing up and going to open the window. The cool air coming in from outside and the rain helped him begin to calm down as he felt like he was thrown into a parallel universe where he was getting everything he wanted in a strange and very awkward way. I chuckled a bit hearing that. "Come have some Pizza and calm down before you bust a nut in your pants." I teased lightly, chuckling as I turned to face him. I couldn't help but stare at the Tiger for a long while. Ramon didn't respond as he stared out the window. He was lost all of a sudden as his body seemed to shack a bit. He didn't know what was going on as only he could hear screaming from some where and lots of heat as he felt like he was roasting. There was actually sweat rolling down his face. I blinked seeing the other shaking. "Um Ramon? Are you ok?" I asked nervously as I walked over to the tiger, a bit concerned. "You ok?" He asked again seeing the sweat, It wasn't THAT hot. Ramon snapped out of his daze feeling all lightheaded as he stumbled against his desk for support. "God what was that?" He said feeling like he was about to fall over. It was the first time he had a flash back like that in a long time. Memories of when he was a baby and what happened to his folks haunting him in very rare moments. I stepped to him quickly and put my arms around him as he stumbled. That wasn't a good idea on my part as I felt a pain in my rear from the quick movement. "Are you ok?" I asked once more, really worried now. Ramon nodded. "I'll be fine." He said. "I just need to sit down and catch my breathe." He was cooling down now feeling better. He didn't understand the flashbacks at all or why he got them. They were never specific enough. Either a sound, a feeling of heat or some images he couldn't understand. He sat down on his bed feeling a bit better. "Its nothing you need to worry about." He said smiling at Kitai. I moved with him and sat down on the bed next to him. "Nothing I need to worry about?" I asked cocking an eyebrow. "I'm your roommate and you looked about to die.... Of course its something I need to worry about." He chuckled remember something. "Oh might I remind you of something you said. "I'm trying to be nice and help you as a roommate" I told him chuckling, putting a paw on the others shoulder. Ramon sighed. "I know you are right, but the problem is there isn't much to tell. All I know is I go into these weird episodes sometimes where I stare off into nothing as I hear screams, voices, see images I can't understand and started to heat up. I don't know if their memories or what they are. In fact I take pills just to suppress them." He said pointing at the pills on his dresser. "I haven't taken my medicine in a while so it was bound to get to me." I sighed softly. "Well what ever they are, I'm here for you." I told him, I couldn't help but nuzzle that furry cheek with a small chuckle. I stood and walked over to my bed and laid down. I sighed, not really wanting to do the paperwork for the charges, but I knew I was gonna have to. I smiled as I felt the weight of the tiger let down on my bed. I smiled, shifting to put my arms around the other. I rested my head on his shoulder nuzzling his neck gently, trying to comfort the other. Ramon blushed a lot from being nuzzled by his roommate. He felt uncomfortable so much that he sat up. "Kitai?" He asked holding his legs to himself. "I.... I need to know something. If.... if I were to ... I mean were to kiss you, would you reject me because I'm rich?" He was shacking a bit from this as he meant more then kiss, but couldn't say the words. I blinked as the other sat up. I listened to him intently, my ears cocked towards him. I thought for a long while. "Ramon... After all you've done for me over these past few days." I swallowed heavily. "I couldn't reject you if you asked me too." I said softly. "but.... Can you accept me being a whore?" I asked almost as nervous as Ramon seemed. Ramon looked up and at Kitai. He felt his heart jump to his throat and then back down. He put a hand on Kitai's cheek. "In these past couple of days." he said followed by a gulp. "I learned a lot about you. Enough to understand why you do what you do and why it hurts so much to be doing it." He smiled at him just then. "I accepted you long before this, so I'm not about to change that now." He said leaning in towards Kitai pausing only for a second to look into the husky's eyes before kissing him on the lips. * * * YES!!! It finaly happened, THey admitted their feelings for eachother, Awww and a cute first kiss between them. ::Huggles Ramon and Kitai::
