Ryze could not help but laugh a little as he heard Brand comment about his thoughts, but he really could not help it because he was happy.  Sometimes Ryze could not help projecting some of his thoughts that had to do with Brand, especially now that they are out about their relationship.  “Well my dear quit listening to those thoughts.”  Ryze said, almost have tempted to project a thought into his mind, but really did not want to distract him from what was at hand.<br/><br/>After everything was over and Jacob did all that he could do it was up to Brand now to heal on his own and come back to Ryze. As Jacob corralled the kids and loaded them up, Ryze picked up Brand and carried him back to their car, placing him in the front seat.  The Ryze walked over and got into the driver’s seat and reaching over and buckled him in.  Ryze was really worried because Brand had not woken up yet, he reached over and moved some hair out of his face and sighed, “Come on Brand, what is going on in there?”  Ryze commented as he looked over to his best friend and soul mate.<br/><br/>Ryze started up the car and started to head off towards their home and every few seconds he kept glancing over at him.  Ryze had his hand on Brand’s lap all the way home slowly rubbing it up and down with his fingers.  Ryze could not understand why he had not woken up yet and he was worried.  When he arrived at the home he got out of the car then went around and got Brand out of the car, picking him up once again carrying him all the way up to their apartment.  Ryze had to chuckle a little and thought about how he was glad he had some strength to go along with his other abilities or this would not have been that easy, Brand was a little taller than he was.<br/><br/>Once he got into the apartment he carried Brand into their bedroom and laid him on the bed and work about getting all of his clothes off except his boxer briefs.  Then he went into the bathroom and got some supplies to give him a little bath to clean him up because he was dirty.  He would have rather taken a shower like they had promised each other.    Brand was supposing to be fucking him all over the apartment and with Brand like this there was none of that fun that they promised each other.  Once Brand was cleaned up it was Ryze’s turn to go jump in the shower, which he took really fast so he could be back out there with Brand.  After drying off Ryze put on his own boxer briefs and crawled into bed with Brand pulling the covers up over them.<br/><br/>Ryze placed his head on Brand’s chest and his arm over his waist and his tears started to fall.  “Please wake up Brand; you can’t leave me like this.  Without even thinking about it Ryze started projecting thoughts of the two of them to Brand while they were asleep.  Ryze felt like the world that he had finally made complete was falling apart.
