"Uncle Xian?" Kyle said softly, then looked intently at Little Kyle.
"Kyle, I know this is hard but you need to tell all that you know about Uncle Xian," Kyle asked gently, looking at him with pleading eyes.
Little Kyle shivered and put his hands on his lap. Kyle noticed with a twist in his heart how those little hands were clenched tightly in a fist, as he gripped his jeans tightly.
Kyle put his own hands on Little Kyle's hands, and held it tightly, "I am here. I will never let anyone hurt you in any way."
Little Kyle nodded in understanding.
"You don't have to say anything right now," Kyle replied, "Calm down first and go back to the cabin with Xing Han. Have your burger in peace in the cabin."
Little Kyle looked at him, an unspoken question in his eyes.
"I have sothing to do first," Kyle explained, "Just wait for and when you're ready, we can talk."
All this ti, they had been talking softly, so Xing Han hadn't heard anything. He just focused on eating his al and was almost done. Kyle, on the other hand, hadn't touched his food yet. Also, as a girl, he couldn't wolf it down so he had to be much more 'delicate' about it.
Kyle gave a side glance at Cornelius and noticed he was looking their way again. This wasn't the first ti he was doing so. He kept glancing their way.
At first, Kyle thought that he vaguely recognised Little Kyle and was trying to confirm it, but it soon beca apparent that Little Kyle wasn't the one that he was looking at. Each ti Kyle did so sort of PDA with Xing Han, he'd have this disgust on his face yet, at the sa ti, he kept looking back.
Kyle leaned closer to Xing Han, whispering in his ear, "Xing Han, can you bring Little Kyle back to the cabin after you're done? Tapau* Little Kyle's and my food?"
"You know Cantonese?!" Xing Han said in surprise, turning to face Kyle, their noses banging on each other.
Kyle rubbed his nose, and Xing Han quickly looked concerned, kissed Kyle's nose and then asked softly, "Oops. Sorry. Why? What are you going to do?"
Kyle caressed Xing Han's cheek and smiled, saying without moving his lips, "First, yes. I know Cantonese, as well as Hokkien and Mandarin. As for the other, well, I have a hunch that Cornelius over there is itching for sothing. Am going to use that to get so information."
Xing Han took Kyle's hand and kissed it, while saying, "Isn't that dangerous? What about his lady friend?"
Kyle's smile just got wider as he leaned closer, their faces close together as he said softly, "There's always a risk in everything, but I can handle it. I believe the lady won't disturb him."
Kyle took Xing Han's face with his hands, positioning his palm to be directly over the side of Xing Han's lips. He brought his face close and said, "Be careful. Lock the cabin door and don't let anyone in other than the ticket master and ."
From their positioning, it looked as if they were kissing, especially when Xing Han put his hand at the back of Kyle's neck. Kyle was thinking that Xing Han was truly a natural at this, acting as if it was nothing. Then again, perhaps it's because it was with him that Xing Han was not inhibited in any way.
"Okay, be careful," Xing Han said, looking at Kyle worriedly as they parted.
Kyle smiled, patted Xing Han's cheek and said, "I will."
Xing Han called for the waiter and asked for the food to go.
Kyle stroked the back of Little Kyle's head, silently giving him so support and comfort. Whoever this Sheng Xian was, Kyle wanted him to pay. He didn't know what he had done to Little Kyle, but it was enough to know that it was bad as it made this innocent child be this scared.
Slowly, but surely, Little Kyle had snuck into Kyle's heart and Kyle was beginning to see him as sothing more than just soone he rescued. It was different from Dahlia - though he did love her deeply, like a daughter/sister. He himself did not know which type of love it was under and quite frankly, it didn't matter at all to him.
Why must one categorise the type of love of feeling one had for another? As long as he knew he wasn't in love, then it was fine. All these labels were annoying.
However, the bond with Little Kyle was sothing even Kyle didn't realise yet. He simply put it down as being the sa as what he was feeling for Dahlia. That he was growing fond of him and he loves him.
Much later in the future, the bond beca sothing even stronger, as they shared a connection neither of them knew was possible.
Life is funny that way.
You et people, think it's a coincidence but it is Fated.
But that is a story for another day.**
