"Where do you think you'll be in a few minutes?" Alain asked Kyon, tilting his head.
"I'll probably be out in the gardens with Kyoka, or something like that....." He replied. I smiled; he knew me well. The gardens were one of my favorite places to go.
"Okay!" Alain said, smiling. He brushed his bangs out of his face and walked up to me. "I'm outta here!" he said before kissing my cheek. He smiles slightly when he sees my face slightly flushed. I was sure I was turning redder by the second. I glance over at Kyon, who looks a little angry.
Alain walked over to him and has to stand on the balls of his feet to get as close to Kyon's ear as possible. Alain pulls Kyon's head down so that they were more on the same level.
"No need to get jealous, Kyon." I could just barely make out what they were saying to each other. Alain kisses Kyon on the cheek before letting him go and tosses the key at Kyon, who was probably even redder than I was. Alain just laughs like it's no big deal. I grab Kyon's hand to let him know that I was here for him.
"I'll get my clothes later." he told us. As he turns to leave, Chance enters the room. Alain takes a step back to see him glaring at him. Alain merely walked past him, towards the door. When he gets there, he turns around to see Kyon still staring at him. He winks at the two of us, causing Kyon to get even more flustered.
"Call me Allie." With that, he walked out the door. That kid was definitely strange.
"Hey!" the new kid that entered the room shouts at Kyon and I. I noticed that when Kyon and him make eye contact, their eyes narrowed as though they were threatened by each others' very presence.
"What do you want?" Kyon asks, clearly unhappy.
The kid starts to walk over, smirking softly. Kyon shifts his weight to one side as the guy approachs, and huffs.
"I don't wanna deal with you right now." Kyon says, glaring. I could only look between the two of them, for I had no idea what was going on.
"I don't care." he says back, looking up at Kyon. i decide to intervene before something gets out of hand.
"What's your name?" I asked him softly. My eyes are clear and searching his own eyes. He wasn't really a bad person, he just came off rougher around the edges.
He gave me a look. "It's Chance," he replied.
I stepped in front of Kyon, as if shielding him. "Did you come here for your nose?" I ask as I grab his hand and lead him over to one of the cots. "Kyon, could you go get the nurse?" I figured it would best to have him go get her, as I didn't want to leave the two of them alone.
Kyon nods his head and disappears down the hallway. I turn to Chance. "Mind telling me why you dislike Kyon so much? Kyon is a really good guy once you get to know him."
"Being his girlfriend and all, you can't really say any differently, can you?" he asked gruffly, looking up at me.
"Look," I say after taking a deep breath. "We don't want any trouble from you. You kind of seem like you're looking for trouble." I wanted to be honest with him, but I also wanted him to trust me. "Just calm your temper down."
"Easy for you to say," he told me, looking away.
I sighed, "You're a shifter, aren't you?" I ask, changing the topic.
He looked up in surprise. "What about it?"
"I'm one too!" I smiled at him, changing into a mirror image of himself. "See!" I say before changing back. I could sense that power in your blood. Shifters can sense each other, especially the older ones like myself."
He nods, not sure of what to say. It was then that Kyon returned with the nurse and she helped clean him up. "It was nice meeting you Chance!" I tell him as Kyon pulls me out of the infirmary and down the hall, probably to the gardens.
"What was that about?" Kyon asked me.
I shrugged. "Just getting to know the new kid."
