Of Hair Loss & Heartthrobs

"That would be adorable." Kelton viewed tattoo's differently. Xavier especially was one reason he didn't think that every tattoo had to have some special meaning. A tattoo was just something you could look at on your body and smile because its there. Xavier's tattoo's made Kelton hot, point blank. Which Xavier did that anyways, and it was not simply because the man was gorgeous, just because Kelton loved his personality and his easy way of going. Kelton loved everything about Xavier and the tattoo's only sweetened the pot. Kelton had always been odd, he loved tattoo's and piercings. But he did not want his lover to have a piercing and he only liked them more if they had a tattoo, wherein Kelton wanted both.
"I have this." He showed Cade his only tattoo. It was a tiny heart on the ring finger of his left hand, the shape in black and the inside a very light pink. It was very small and easily unnoticed but Kelton could look at it for hours and just smile.

"I like it." Cade nodded with a soft smile. "It's gorgeous." He ran a thumb over the tattoo on the boy's finger.

"I have an idea!" Kelton fell back, digging through his pockets with purpose, a pleased squeak was heard as he withdrew his hand. He pulled out a small tube of chapstick, moving to straddle Cade's waist and uncap the tube.
"Okay, hold still." He pressed the chapstick to Cade's lips, coating them well with several layers. He then capped his tube and sat it aside, leaning so the crown of his head was open to Cade.
"Kiss it!"

Cade arched an eyebrow before he leaned in and pressed a firm kiss to the top of the boy's head. "What was that for?"

"You'll see!" Kelton's smile was vibrant, his head moving around the room as he moved to get up. "Xavier!" He wondered if the man had left yet. He needed to go to the parlor anyways.

"What!?" Xavier groaned from his spot where he was sleeping on the couch. "I'm sleeping." He whined lightly though he rolled over to look at the boy, his hair matted down with sweat since his fever had broken.

"Hey! Will you go me a big-" His words trailed off as he looked Xavier over, his excitement vanishing as he reached out to gently run his fingers through the damp hair. "Hey..."

Xavier yawned, ruffling his soaked hair.
"Ugh, sorry." He chuckled lightly. "I'm all sweaty." He made a face, wiping a hand across his brow.

"Whats wrong with you?". Kelton moved to gently wipe at Xavier's face, his eyes shining with concern. "Your not telling me something Zavier."

"I'm just sick babe, don't worry." Xavier waved him off. "I'll be fine." He reassured.

"Let Trever check you out." Kelton persisted as he took Xavier's hand. "He can take care of you."

"No Kelton.." Xavier shook his head, pulling back. "I know what's wrong with me and I've done all I can do. Trust me, I'll be okay."

"Xavier." Kelton moved forward, tugging the other to his chest in a hug. "Your sick. Tell me why! Tell me what it is! If its nothing why can't I know about it?" He disliked how fear gripped at his heart.

"Kelton it'd just be dumb to tell you. All it would do is worry you and that's stupid because I'm fine." He smiled, nodding his head.

"But your not fine though." Kelton knew this much, he had known for a while now. He had not seen Xavier healthy in a long time. "Imma go talk to Trever." He stood, looking around for the man in hopes he was still here.

"Don't Kelton." Xavier reached out to take the boy's hand. "Please. Just spend time with me while I'm feeling okay." He sighed.

Kelton shook his head, moving to sit beside him on the couch.
"Xavier." The boy took a deep breath, leaning over to kiss his cheek. "I want you to give me and tattoo and pierce my knuckles and I want you to talk to me while you do it."

"We'll see." Xavier nodded. "But I can do the tattoo and piercing part." He smiled softly. "Heading on down to the shop with me?"

"Yeah." Kelton glanced back over to Cade, looking around for Cove. "I just need to let them know im leaving. You go ahead and get ready to go."

Xavier nodded, sitting back on the couch as he waited for Kelton.
Cove was still in the bathroom, staring at the pile of Leon's hair on the floor, not quite sure how to handle this.

Kelton poked his head in, his smile fading as he looked at his lover.
"Cade?" He asked softly, reaching out to take his hand. "Baby? Are you okay?"
It was obvious who's hair was who's. Keltons was colored with the light bit of brown at the top, Kyndal's was the black, and Leon's was the light brown.

"M'fine..." Cove murmured, shaking his head furiously. He just didn't want to admit that that was his Leon's hair.

"Cade...." Kelton reached out to take his hand, moving to lightly lean against him. "Im sorry about our baby..." Their Leon was so sick...He was glad Cade had not heard him screaming earlier when he tried to take his feeding tube out.

"Me too." Cade said simply, sighing as he slid an arm around Kelton's waist. "Love you." He murmured lightly.

"Love you too sweetheart." Kelton gently stroked Cade's cheek. "I was going to go get my tattoo but if you want ill stay here with you."
