it didn't matter to Kaelix Debonair why you were standing outside his door in the pouring rain at ten in the evening.
all that mattered was the fact you were standing outside his door in the pouring rain at ten in the evening. no umbrella. soaking wet. and that twinkle in your eyes were scarily absent.
surprise fluttered through the bouncer, then recognition and confusion, then a huge wave of concern. he quickly ushers you in and you step through, almost mindlessly, onto the rug of his doorway. Kaelix shuts the door with a click and turns the lock.
"you're drenched!" he exclaims, seizing your wrist and pulling you through his house. your gaze flicks up in faint curiosity, catching glimpses of photos with family and friends, paintings, papers nearly falling and spilling onto the floor on the small table. he sits you down on his couch in what appears to be his living room. Kaelix doesn't seem to care about the water seeping into the fabric. "I'll be right back."
a minute goes by as you stare at the TV, eyes glazed over as the show flickers. Kaelix returns with a fluffy towel and instantly goes to drying your face and hair. you momentarily lose your vision. but it feels nice, so you close your eyes. all the while Kaelix fusses over you.
"what were you thinking, silly?" Kaelix tuts, ruffling through your hair as you slouch on the cushions. he pats you down with the towel and clicks his tongue once more. the towel won't do anything for the clothes clinging to your skin. "you're probably cold. do you want to take a shower? a bath? i have clothes for you, but they most likely won't fit. do you mind?"
you don't say anything. Kaelix rolls up the towel and squats in front of you, eyebrows knitted together. "hey. hey, look at me."
you look up a bit. but it's like you aren't even there mentally. Kaelix frowns, his worry deepening.
"c'mon," he says softly, taking your wrist gently. "I'll just get you a change of clothes."
you follow him and pause in front of another doorway to his room. he reemerges with too big clothes for you to wear, but they'll do. it's the smallest he could find. the bouncer brings you along for a short distance and opens another door. he flicks the light switch on and beckons you inside. you notice movement at the corner of your eye and glance. you nearly flinch at the sight of your own frazzled reflection. the fuzzy rug tickles your bare toes. which makes Kaelix frown even more. did you really walk here with no shoes?
he places the clothes on the counter and backs out. "change into these. come out when you're ready."
you give the tiniest of nods and shuts the door. you avoid the reflection like the plague and peel off the thin clothings. let them drop to the floor with a wet plap. you leave your undergarments on and slide on new clothes. as expected, you're swimming in them. and apparently, they're his smallest.
you step out and the albino leans against the wall before you, arms folded across his chest. he glances up and studies you before taking your wrist once more. you let him guide you along.back to the living room. a cup of steaming tea sits on the low table before the middle section of the couch. Kaelix pulls you lightly and sits you down. you sink into the soft cushions, staring into the distance. the bouncer picks up a blanket hanging on the side and throws it on top of you. then tucks you in, like a small burrito. making sure every inch was covered. you allow him and you feel him plop beside you.
"i don't know what's wrong," Kaelix starts, "but i want you to know I'm here. you don't have to say a word. I'll stay by your side. and you can lean on me all you want."
you turn your head slowly to look up. Kaelix's usually playful blue eyes are dead serious. he doesn't waver, facing you with sincerity. his white hair is mussed, and his clothes hang of him a bit. you finally see him. just a bit. you remember how much he looks out for you, always made sure you were happy and safe, and bought you things when you least expected them. how he noticed you struggling and would step in, regardless of your protests.
you turn back to the TV. and drop your head onto his shoulder. Kaelix immediately shifts, letting you get comfortable. he doesn't say a word when his shirt suddenly gets a little wet.just sits in complete silence. and you're grateful. and with that, you fall asleep and stay sleeping without a single dream.
