Kyle nodded a little, trying to take a leaf out of Jonah's book and be more positive, "You're right, he'll be back soon."

After about 30 more minutes, with Jonah probably talking the entire time, he suddenly looked towards the door. “I think…they’re back?” His brow furrowed and he looked over at Jason. “They’re going to need your help.” He said, which meant literally nothing good.

Kyle stood up fast, swallowing, "Caleb?" he called out, hoping he would respond.

Kyle could then hear voices in the distance getting closer. One of the doors then opened to reveal a ticked off Veronica helping Caleb who was covered in blood. “How do you not know how many times you were shot Caleb?!”
“I’m sorry I didn’t exactly ask them while they were trying to murder me Veronica!!”

"Caleb! You… You got shot?" Kyle's eyes widened in fear and worry.

Caleb offered a weak smile. “I guess so? I think it was five times honestly..”
Veronica rolled her eyes. “Come on we have to get you to the medic.”
Jason had already rushed over to help steady Caleb.

He followed Jason over, not knowing how to help even though he wanted to, "Caleb I… Why weren't you more careful?"

“I was trying to be..” he grumbled, which wasn’t at all true. “Can we not talk about this right now..please.”

Kyle swallowed and nodded a little, taking a few steps back, "Fine.. yeah…"

“We’ll come get you once we’ve got him patched up, I promise. You just can’t come with him.” Jason said.

He nodded again to Jason, mumbling an 'okay' before going to sit down again.

((Imma just say time skip until Caleb’s all good and they’re in the medbay??

They had luckily managed to stop the bleeding from Caleb’s wounds. Katie had managed to stop Veronica and Caleb from screeching at each other and everyone was relatively calm. “It might take you awhile to heal up, so just take it easy okay?” Jason said to which Caleb nodded. He still hadn’t really talked to Kyle that much. “Well then…you guys are good to leave if you want.” Jason finished.

Kyle bit his lip, looking from Jason to Caleb then back to Jason, "Okay, thanks for helping him…"

“No problem. And Caleb I mean it, take it easy.” Jason said sternly.
“Okay okay I got it.” Caleb said. He could actually stand and move around okay. “Come on Kyle let’s go.” He said, starting to walk back towards their room.

Kyle followed, mouthing another 'thank you' to Jason before hurrying off to catch up with Caleb.

Caleb didn’t say anything until they actually got back to their room, where the only communication he really made was a loud sigh.

Kyle swallowed, sitting down on the bed, "You okay?" He asked, looking from the ground to Caleb.

“I mean…I’m not dead. So if that’s where the bar for okay is then yes.” He said, sitting down next to Kyle, instinctively just wanting the comfort of being near him. His anger with Kyle earlier had just evolved into a more general area of being upset.

"That's not what I meant," Kyle looked away and sighed, "I was so worried Caleb. You said you'd be gone an hour. And then you weren't back and that hour turned into three and then three and a half and then you came back shot and it's obvious you're mad or upset with me but I don't even know what I've done wrong and everything is just such a mess and I don't know what to do anymore because I can't get through all this without you and if you'd have died out there I don't know what I would even do and-" He stopped, knowing he was rambling and bit his lip, voice turning soft and quiet as he whispered, "I'm sorry…"

“…do you have any idea how fucking scared I am of losing you? I’m terrified. Getting shot is usually fixable and not fatal. But you…you’re sick, no one can figure out what’s wrong or how to fix it. And you’re just so willing to accept that! Just to flat out say that you might not get better! Why are you so willing to die?! Am I not enough to make you want to stay!” He’d steadily gotten louder and now dropped to a whisper. “I thought I was enough for you..”

Kyle's head whipped around to Caleb, tears pricking in his eyes, "You are enough for me. You always have been. I don't want to die. I don't want to leave you, I-I hate the though of that," He swallowed, "All I've done is accept the truth. That I might not get better," He looked down at his lap, a couple tears falling, "A-And it really, really scares me… I-I don't want to leave you Caleb… I-I can't, I won't I…" He whimpered.

“I don’t want you to accept whatever terrible truth you think is going to happen. Because I won’t let it happen.” He said stubbornly, wrapping Kyle in a gentle hug.

Kyle sniffled, "I-I'm sorry…" He whimpered quietly.

“You don’t need to be sorry it’s just…the thought that you’d given up..it really scared me.”

"I-I was close… but I-I haven't…" He clung to Caleb tightly, not wanting to let go.

He winced a bit but didn’t tell Kyle to let go. He wiped the tears off of Kyle’s face and then off of his own. “Well I’m right here. And I don’t plan on going anywhere. After all, we’re a team, right?”

Kyle nodded, relaxing his grip and pulling back a little to look at Caleb's face, "Y-yeah, we are."

He smiled weakly, still having tears in his eyes. He took Kyle’s hand and put it on his cheek. “I love you.”
