His gaze was pained as it traced over rumpled, oily hair, pale skin and bloodshot eyes that watered as they looked back at him. He watched motionless as Finn reached up and ran a visibly shaking hand through his hair, his feet coming out to bite on his lower lip, which he now saw was scarred, swollen and bruised.
“Kai?”. The sound of his name brought him out of the trance and he

Kai waited patiently by the door, his expression relaxed and his eyes saying things he couldn’t quite decipher, his hands resting at his sides with the fingers hooked in the belt loop of the jeans. He expected the walk to be tense and awkward because frankly, Finn didn’t know what

Drowsily, he breathed in the scent, his eyes fluttering open to see a mass of deep brown hair instead of his room. He lifted his head, wincing as the muscles in his neck stretched after a night of rest, and was startled awake by the realization that the thing his face had been pressed into was Kai’s hair. He took a moment to observe, while the older was still sleeping with his head on his arms at the edge of the bed. The position looked uncomfortable, the way he was k

Jax sat crossed legged on the black leather couch, fuzzy yellow socks on his feet as the too large grey sweatpants bunches around his ankles.Some sort of commercial was softly playing in the background, the sound of the television merely used as an absent noise. The coffee table in front of the television was filled with greasy food packets stamped with a yellow M. The boy reached for a crisp fry which dripped of grease and salt but was en

Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara .Chapter 1: Save Me.Kai Webster wanted to fall in love so badly, the thought of it had been on his mind more often than usual for the past few weeks, occupying the back of his mind as he tried to concentrate for his mid term exams. Right now, he saw it all around him, as he watched couples walking together around campus, gloves hands clasped together, bundled in jackets against the cold. He shivered under the woolen layers of his own parka, his breath coming out in white faint puffs.

Kai almost collapsed when he realized who the voice must have belonged to, half from the shock and half from the terrible state he was suddenly in.
