KISS' IDEAS

Kris tightly hugged Kiss despite the lack of strength. The shivering coldness of the air never subsided. He tried his best to remain calm while giving Kiss the warmth he cannot even provide to himself. As he brushes Kiss' hair, he notice his finger tips slowly turning to ice. He closed his hand forming a fist. He curses himself for being too careless as he didn't predict the cause of his dilemma. With his cracking dried lips, he kiss Kiss' forehead as he whisper "honey, please come back"

Kiss was continuesly releasing his power. The room is now fully covered with ice. His body is trembling with fear, aches and cold. Until Kris finally hear out a soft moan.

"ngh" Kiss' moans becomes louder and louder. Each time he groans Kris' heart started to find hope. He rub Kiss' back gently, trying not to hurt his wife.

"mmngh cold" Kiss said. He curled up even more as his body keep on shaking. Kris blanket is thick and warm- for normal season- but right now it is not enough to emit heat. Body heat is not an option either since the source of everything is the one he love. Though Kris never blame his wife, he blame himself for being careless.

"sshh I'm here, I'm here. It'll be fine honey" Kris mumbled in a hoarse voice. He almost deceived himself by thinking that it will really be fine. That everything will turn back normal. He don't even know how to bring his wife back to his senses, what's more with being fine in a room covered with ice.

As his vision started to get blurry, he felt Kiss lifted his head slightly as he rise his hand to touch Kris' checks. His hand is as cold as a person without a heart. As cold as a corpse. Some of his skin has an ice scale as much as Kris detected it. Kris lovingly accept Kiss' winterly hand as he cupped it and smiles. Even if he find it hard to move, he felt warm deep inside. He felt relieved that slowly, his wife is coming back to him.

"Kris" Kiss uttered emotionless.

Kris was so surprised that Kiss finally spout his name. It is his first time hearing it. His first time hearing his wife calling his name. Although, he knows that it is an empty call he feel perfectly delighted as he responded "yes" softly until he finally loses his consciousness.

The room started to warm, though the ice remain, the temperature is now slowly increasing. In corespond to it, Kiss is now, little by little returning to his original look. His white hair started to turn black. His golden orbs is almost turning black. The ice scales are almost gone. Until the changes of his body is now disappear without a trace. Completely vanished. Like it never occurred in the first place.

Kiss slowly open his eyes, complimenting his long curly lashes. He blink two times before he realized that he was being squeeze by something- or rather by someone. His eyes widen as he was trying to break free from such tight embrace. To his surprised, even how much he struggle, the man don't seems to wake. He notice Kris' dried lips, as much as he was surprised upon seeing him wearing 3 times layers of leather jackets. What's more when he roam his eyes in his apartment. He was startled with fear and panic. The room is filled with ice. Though, is not cold anymore, it is still scary as to why there's an ice inside his room? How come there's a thing like that? Is it still normal? Is it safe? Is the world going to collapse? Kiss snapped himself out as he ignored the ice surrounded his room. He watched Kris state. The man is shivering coldness though the temperature is not cold.

"Wake up you moron. The world is about to end and yet you peacefully asleep?" He said. He slap Kris' cheeks with a little bit of force. As if having a bad dream, Kris abruptly woke up as he rise from the bed and shouted "HONEY DON'T DIE"

He turn around and saw Kiss was staring at him confusedly. He quickly grab Kiss' shoulder and said "Honey, are you okay? are you okay? Do you feel anything? Aches? Are you thirsty? Are you cold? please tell me" worriedly.

"Yes. I feel something. I feel so fucking stupid talking to you" Kiss replied. He get up from the bed and notice that he is already wearing a clothes. The clothes where big enough for him that it almost hit his knees. Though, he felt that he's still wearing his boxer below, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He stared to blush as he glare at Kris who's been looking worried about him.

He sighed heavily, he don't feel any pain in his lower back so maybe Kris didn't touch him but just dress him up. He put his hands into his waist and said "You're the one who's going to die if you're not gonna tell me what the heck happened here. Look at this place, it's filled with ice"

Kris could only gulp. He cannot bare tell him the truth. He couldn't find any reason to lie either. The situation he is, is giving him the chances of 50/50.

"Is the world going to die? Is the alien finally decided to invade the earth? Are they going to slave us? Will there be a superhero to save the day? or perhaps... it's coming from you?" Kiss added.

Kris avoided the eye contact between them. He don't know how to react. He don't know how to respond. He don't know what will happened to Kiss if he tells the truth. But no, he decided to keep it for himself. He decided to bury it and forget everything unless the time will come when Kiss wanted to know about the whole truth.

"Yes" Kris lied.

"Yes what?"

"It was me. That ice....was because of...me" Kris said. He lower down his head as he don't want to see Kiss' reaction. Kiss might thought that he is a monster. That he is an individual with an abnormal condition. Kiss might thought that he is scary, disgusting. A man that need to be experimented in a lab.

Kris' mind wonders around the globe. He's thought is full of negativity. Kiss already hated him, though he wanted to redeem his so called mistake that he don't actually remember, he don't want Kiss' to loath him even more. If it is the only way to protect his wife, it is better to sacrifice himself.

Kiss on the other hand, was so out of this world when he heard the words coming out from Kris' mouth. He don't really believe in alien, superheroes, villains or even monsters. He just couldn't think that those things he saw in TV's are actually real. And right now he found one, right infront of him.

"Amazing" Kiss said in excitement. He jumped back into the bed and draw his face near to Kris as he added "You can actually do that? You have an ice power? Are you a superhero or a villain? Can you perhaps fly? Oh! can you even make an ice castle?"

Kris was dumbfounded upon seeing the eagerness and exhilaration into Kiss' eyes. He couldn't spell a single word. The reaction seems overwhelming to him that he almost forgot his biggest problem- he is not an ice user.

"Do you think we can make money out of your power? Like selling a lemonade? You know, we don't need to buy ice anymore since you already have that power. What do you think?" Kiss said in anticipation.

Kris shook his head as he answered "People will be scared. Not everyone is as excited as you"

"You're right. It's not common to see people with superpowers. What about buying a cooler box? you'll just have to hide your body inside it"

"I won't fit"

"yeah that's true.. You're too big. mmm.. What about a freezer instead? People won't think it's abnormal since it's a refrigerator. I think that's a best idea right?" Kiss said as he smile widely.

Kris massage his temples as he realized that he fall in love with someone without common sense.

"It still needs electricity. How will you put it in? Besides, If your going to sell a lemonade you're the only seller I know who uses a refrigerator" Kris uttered as he think how the heck did his heart chooses such idiot being?

"Well if not, What about joining a circus? You'll just have to wear a mask so that you won't be recognized and everybody will love you, mesmerized at you at even will be your fans" Kiss said. He could now imagine himself swimming in the river of money. Money, money, money. All he think right now is how much money will he get if he sell his roommate.

"Who do you think I am? I already have those. I don't need to be famous anymore it's too meh" Kris replied

"Then what about---" Kiss was cut off from his words when Kris interrupted him.

"Honey, do you think we need to check you brain out? I think there's something wrong with it"
