Oneshot 12 Too hot
Who hasn't experienced this?
There's so much to address.
So much to pronounce.
But a thick resistance does not allow the larynx to pronounce.
The vocal chords are on strike.
And uncertain breaths constantly create distracting moments.
A relaxed laugh is replaced by strange embarrassment.
A constant change in body temperature.
So hot.
So sadly cold.
And so many words wanting to get out and being swallowed down. 
No wonder the body malfunctions in the process.
And the delicious food irrevocably enters the windpipe.
Fourth chokes and coughs loudly.
And Gemini's touches while patting his back feel much more intense than usual.
When something is on our mind but we don't dare talk about it.
Everything is perceived differently.
Every look.
Every breath.
Every smile.
Fourth wants so much to know from Gemini why he just dismisses their ship on camera.
Why they are given an expiry date?
Why another human being by his side?
A woman.
Why?
Fourth thinks he knows the answer.
But Gemini wants a chance, after all, and he shall have it.
If Fourth survives all this, he'll get an answer too.
But his excitement and suppression of his feelings put him in constant danger.
First in the pool.
They decided to cool off.
And after the shower, Fourth ran away from his thoughts and feelings far too quickly.
All he wanted to do was jump into the pool.
But slipped and hit his hand on the edge of the pool as he dived in.
Gemini was faster than the wind.
He took such sweet care of the hot throbbing hand.
"I want to swim! No bandages!" said Fourth.
"You can't! I'm sure the hand is bruised. Let me wrap it!" demanded Gemini.
Fourth just dived under and Gemini pulled him back up.
"The water cools the hand, after all," Fourth tried to convince him.
And he could see Gemini's sweet ministrations closely.
He was so busy holding Fourth's hand in his hands and inspecting it closely that the latter could look at that beloved face in peace and unseen.
"It's alright! Let's get out of the pool!", Fourth just couldn't stand the reaction of his heart any longer.
Surely no human heart could beat that fast.
This love could not possibly be of this world.
And Fourth's defenceless fear showed itself to him again.
