*1 month later*

Dimitri's POV:

"Are you sure that you're okay?" I rubbed Ray's back soothingly as he puked his guts out into the toilet bowl.

"Yeah. Must be something which I ate yesterday. I'm-" Before he can even complete his sentence, he bent over the toilet bowl once again and released all the liquids. "Fuck. Now I'm hungry." He groaned as he leaned against the wall after rinsing his mouth.

"Come on. I'll make breakfast for us. You, just rest." Picking him up with ease, I carried him bridal style all the way to the living room before setting him down gently on the sofa.

"I have legs you know." He stated the obvious.

"I have arms you know." I retorted, not even sure of what I was even saying.

"How is that even related?" Ray gave me the pure look of confusion making my awe internally at his cuteness. "Stop staring at me like I'm made out of puppies and ducklings." He looked away embarrassed. 

"To be honest, I have no idea and you're not made out of puppies or ducklings but kittens." He huffed adorably before a pillow came flying directly at my face. Ouch.

"Right-" His stomach growled loudly, cutting him off. Seems like my kitten is really hungry already.

"Stay here. I'm going to make us breakfast now." Giving a last peck on his lips, I walked off to the kitchen and took out the ingredients that I needed.

Doing all these for Ray really made me feel like his husband already.  Maybe now is the right time to ask him.

"Here you go kitten."

"Thank you." His mouth watered at my cooking as he dug in quickly, taking a large bite from the bagel.

"How is it?" He took a slip of the orange juice before swallowing his food.

"Wonderful." He licked his lips before taking another bite again.

"Did yesterday drain that much of your energy?" I teased as he pushed a grape into my mouth violently.

"No. I'm just starving. I feel like I can eat a cow right now." He groaned as he took a bite out of the quiche cups before moaning at its taste.

"Instead of a cow, how about eating me? I can be the patty to your buns." I grinned at him as he facepalmed himself.

"Oh my goodness. Where did you learn all these pick up lines from?"  He shook his head in disbelief as he finished up his bagel.

"It's natural." I crossed my fingers under the table when Ray's phone rang suddenly.

"I'll be back." He excused himself from the table before walking to grab his phone in the living room.

Ray's POV:

"Hello?" I picked up the phone, surprised to see that Chris is the one calling. He hasn't called or text me at all for a whole month.

"Hi Ray."

"Hi Chris. How are you?"

"I'm fine. I'm just calling to say that I'm leaving tonight."

"Leaving? Where?" Where can he go to? Is his family finally accepting his sexuality and having him back now?

"I've decided to find a life out there myself. I don't want to live my life as a useless person. I've planned it all out so you don't have to worry about me."

"So you're calling just to tell me this?"

"I'm wondering if you can have a last meal with me today and maybe have a final movie marathon before I leave? There won't be any drugs involved this time. I wasn't in the right state of mind then. Sorry about that."

"It's alright. Okay. I'll be there. See you at 7?"

"Sure. See you Ray."

"Bye puppy." Ending the call, I walked back into the kitchen to see Dim washing up his plates.

"Who is it?" Should I tell him? What if he flares up?

"Chris...and I'm meeting him at 7 tonight."

"WHAT?! You're meeting him even after what he had done to you?!"

"Calm down Dim. He's leaving so we're just going to have a last meal together and a movie marathon before he leaves tonight. Please? Just for today? I'm all yours till then." I added in the last sentence knowing that it can change his mind somehow.

"Fine. Call me if anything happens." Nodding obediently, he pulled me into his arms while tilting my head up to look at him. "Now kiss me kitten."

"Yes Master."

~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡

"Thanks for the food puppy." He beamed as he collected the dishes from me.

" You're welcome. I'm glad you love it. I'll wash the plates later before I go. Now let's go watch The Hunger Games!" He cheered as he dragged me upstairs. He's always been a sucker for The Hunger Games.

"Is that a hickey?" He eyed my neck blankly, stopping in his tracks. My hand automatically went up to my neck to the hickey Dim place there purposely.

"Yeah..." I chuckled hesitantly as he shuddered.

"Seems painful."

"It's not as bad as it seems."

"If you say so. Here. Can you put the disc in? I think I'll go wash the dishes first." I stood up, wanting to follow him but he stopped me from getting up. "I can do it myself." Walking off, he shut the door, leaving me alone in the room.

I place the disc in and laid on the bed topless, deciding to wait for him. It's too hot in the room.

*vrrrr...vrrr...*

愛している ♥

What? What does that mean? Putting my phone down, I spot Chris standing by the bed.

"What's the meaning of this Chris?"

"Goodbye...Ray." From the corner of my eye, I saw something glint under the moonlight before a searing pain cut through my abdomen.

"C-Chris...why?" Chris stood there dumbfounded as he held the bloody knife in his hand as he stared down at me with fear. Blood seeped through my hands, leaking out uncontrollably. Fuck. I can't stop it.

"I'm sorry." Throwing the knife beside me, he dashed out without looking back even once.

"Chris!" I sat up too fast, making the wound pour out more blood. Fuck! It hurts. Dim...where's my phone? Dialing his number, it was immediately picked up.

"D-Dim...h-help..." I bit out in pain as I wrapped my shirt around the wound tightly hoping to stop the flow but it just soaked the shirt red.

"Ray! What happened?! Where are you?!"

"H-House...Li-Livin-g r-room." Fuck. Pain shot through me as I staggered downstairs, blood flowing freely down my jeans. There goes my jeans.
