Chapter 6: Holy Land
A fuzzy feeling of being unable to focus infested Chihaya's brain. His body felt numb so that, when he thought a limb into movement, he really couldn't tell if it hit anything or not. He wasn't even aware enough to realize that it was dangerous not to be able to feel anything. Hell, he could be sticking his hand into a blender and have not the least of idea about it. But, that fuzzy feeling stopped him from realizing such a thing. He doubted that, even if he did realize it, he would care anyway, with the blessed numb happiness invading his consciousness.
But, like all good things, the strange numb feeling faded to be replaced by a vague heaviness all over his body and a throbbing pain in his shoulder, reaching up towards his neck. Eventually, little Chihaya resolved not to move, so as to minimize the pain stretching across his back. The easiest way to do that was to go back to sleep.
Unfortunately, poor Chihaya was unable to sleep. Just as he was finally able to surmount the pain that was distracting him and keeping him awake, there was a clatter from the kitchen. Male voices argued loudly over the sound of banging pots and pans and slamming silverware.
Groaning inwardly, Chihaya slowly pushed himself up onto his elbows, gritting his teeth through the explosive pain that blossomed in his one shoulder blade. Just as he raised himself up, two tall males elbowed each other in their eagerness to get into the back bedroom. They both looked surprised to see the smaller boy up.
Kagetsuya's eyebrow's knit together in a worried frown. "Chihaya, what are you doing up?" he exclaimed lightly, setting aside a tray of quietly steaming food and moving up to the side of the bed.
Messiah's eyebrow's raised up on his forehead in a surprised expression and he slowed his approach so that he was eventually standing hesitantly in front of Chihaya, holding a large bowl of something delicious smelling in a pair of hot pads.
"I heard all the ruckus and woke up..." Chihaya muttered, groggily, looking back and forth between the two young men, confused. His voice was rough and scratchy. Somehow, Kagetsuya and Messiah were together without killing each other. Chihaya figured he must have been asleep for a long time. "How long was I asleep..." he asked slowly, before it occurred to him. "Ah! Did it work! Do I have my wing back?" he asked hurriedly, attempting to look over his shoulder, but only succeeding in making the pain in his shoulder flare up a little further.
Kagetsuya's face flushed red with blood and he averted his eyes, ashamed. Messiah seemed to glow with pride.
"The operation went off without a hitch. You've only been asleep for about a day and half. It's a good sign that you're so awake already," Messiah explained patiently, taking the liberty of settling himself on the edge of the bed with the bowl in his lap, turning with his torso to smile warmly at Chihaya.
"Ah... That's... Oh, thank you, Messiah..." Chihaya whispered, feeling the tears gather on the fringes of his eyelashes. He couldn't describe how happy he was. He had never thought he would regain his wing, even his wildest dreams.
Kagetsuya hung his head lower in shame. He had been blatantly outdone by Messiah. He had done for Chihaya what Kagetsuya could never even begin to believe he could do. He couldn't take care of Chihaya as well as he professed. It was maddening.
Noticing that Kagetsuya was strangely silent, Chihaya glanced over at his faithful lover, only to see the young man quiet and shame faced. Chihaya's happiness quickly faded, seeing how unhappy his counter part was. Reaching out a thin and gentle hand, Chihaya rand his fingers through Kagetsuya's short, soft blond hair, smiling sadly.
Kagetsuya glanced up at Chihaya's encouraging touch and flushed again, but this time with a well of love and happiness. His little lover was just too much for him, sometimes.
"I'm glad that you're happy, Chihaya," Messiah muttered, trying not to interrupt the strange silent interchange going on between the two lovers.
Over the time he had to work with Kagetsuya moving and taking care of Chihaya, he had come to a slow realization that Kagetsuya would always be Chihaya's number one and vice versa. He could only hope to be close too and loved by the little black angel. And, he supposed, he was strong enough for that.
"I'm glad that you two can get along so well!" Chihaya said, a little breathlessly.
As he said this, Kagetsuya and Messiah both moved closer to him, subtly, ready to catch him, lest he collapse.
"Now, none of us have to be alone any more..." Chihaya continued, his voice getting a little weaker as his body's exhaustion caught up with him. "We have each ... other," he muttered as he slowly lowered himself down to the mattress and allowed his heavy eyelids lower as he drifted into blissful sleep.
As the young man between fell into La la land, the two larger men looked at each other skeptically. Though they didn't like each other very much, they both liked Chihaya immensely. And, as these things tend to happen, both men seemed to reach the conclusion that they could get along for the sake of the lovely little angel between them .Sighing in defeat, Kagetsuya extended his hand in surrender.
"Truce?" he asked, offering his hand to Messiah.
Lowering his head a little, Messiah nodded and firmly shook Kagetsuya's hand. "Truce."
End.
