Chapter 1: Arrival

 

As the plane came to a halt, Pan wiped the sleep from her eyes before shaking Sayo. But when her hand met air and then her own chest, she became alarmed. Panic filled her very core as her eyes darted around, trying to locate the little boy.

“Sayo! Where are you? Sayo?!”

Giggles floated onto the empty plane and her eyes immediately flew to the open doorway. Jumping from her seat, she dashed to the exit, only to be stopped short by what she saw.

“Mommy!” Sayo cried when he saw her. Running from the man he was with, he rushed towards his mother as fast as his little legs could run. Burying his face into her shirt, he said, “Hide me, mommy. Hide me.”

Masculine laughter brought her head back up once more only to find herself staring into bright blue eyes. As her heart rate slowed to a much normal pace, a smile began to form on her lips while she shook her head.

“What are you doing here, Kai?”

“Making out with your son. What does it look like I'm doing here, Pan?” The man said with a child-like grin that could've rivaled even her grandfather's in innocence. He wrapped an arm around her waist as the other went out to grab hold of the little boy's hooded sweatshirt. “Come here, little guy.”

At the light tug, both adults laughed as Sayo took off running once more, squeals of joy echoing through the airport. Feeling arms wrap around her, Pan gladly accepted the warmth his body emitted. Letting out a sigh, she wrapped her own arms around his lean waist and snuggled into his chest even more. Breathing in his scent, she realized just how empty her life had truly been without him there, although having Sayo around allowed her to fill the empty void in her heart. He was her best friend… the only one she have had to lean on in the last five years.

Tears stung the back of her eyes and at the first sign of sniffling, Kai pulled back to look at her.

“What's wrong, Panny?”

“Nothing.”

“It's not nothing. You haven't cried in nearly four years, so what's wrong?” The frown was evident in his soft-spoken words.

“I just missed you, that's all.” Pan sighed in defeat.

“Aww… those tears are for me? Don't I feel special.” Kai joked.

“Yeah. Special ed's more like it.” Pan mumbled into his shirt.

At a tug on his pants, Kai look down, only to find chocolate brown eyes blinking back at him. A smile formed on his sensual lips as he bent down to scoop the child up in his arms.

“Keep pulling on my pants like that and you'll be seeing more of me than I'd want you to see, understand, kiddo?” The reply he received to his threat was no more than a peck on the nose and a toothy grin. Looking towards the female, he spoke once more. “C'mon. You're staying at my place during your stay.”

Pan stared hard at him and he could almost see the question forming inside her head. Laughing, he placed his arm across her shoulders to steer her in the direction of his car.

“It's completely clean…” As they walked, a small whisper of `I think' was heard.
