Surprising Love

Summary:

Can Bray love the man that got him taken away from his family?

Work Text:

Bray looked up from where he was lying. He had been having a good dream. Bray
had dreamed that he had been back in the Mall with his friends. Also, that he had
been with someone, strangely enough, the person he was with, hadn't been Amber.
It had been someone else, someone that he just didn't know. Bray couldn't tell if
the person he was with was a female or not. The only thing Bray knew for sure was
that the person surely was not Amber. Bray sighed. A few seconds later, he heard
the bars on his cell being rattled. "Get up now, because you won't be eating later!"

A loud, harsh, voice called out. Bray sat up, as someone new, someone he had
never seen before, walked into his cell, carrying a tray of food. Bray stared at the
guy for a minute. The guy was his height, but had blonde hair and a capital T on
his forehead. There was something strangely familiar about the guy. Bray thought,
as he silently accepted the tray of food. The guy looked over at Bray for a minute.
Then he decided to speak up. "My name is Jay, yes, I'm a Techno, but I won't hurt
you." The guy said.

Bray looked at Jay. "I know you won't." He said a moment later. The strange thing
was Bray already knew that Jay wouldn't hurt him. Jay turns and looks at the brown
haired guy. "What's your name, and what Tribe are you from?" Jay asked softly. Bray
looks at Jay. "My name is Bray and the Tribe I was with, is called the Mall rats." Bray
said. Jay stared at Bray. "You know Cloe?" He asked curiously. Bray nods. "Yeah, I
know Cloe. She is one of the youngest member's of the Mall rats." Bray said to Jay.

"How do you know Cloe? Is she here, with us, in one of the other cells?" Bray asked
quickly. Jay shook his head no. "No, I know Cloe because she is going out with my
younger brother Ved." Jay explained. He fell silent, as a look of disbelief crossed
Bray's face. "Are you serious?" Bray asked. Jay nodded. "I think they really care
for each other." Jay said, crossing the cell to where Bray was. Bray looks at Jay
for a few minutes. Then he motioned for the blonde Techno to have a seat.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Bray asked. Jay smiled. "I try to be nice
to all of the prisoners. I don't want to be anything like Mega or Ram. I don't
want to be creating chaos all over the place." Jay said to Bray honestly. Bray
nodded. "I know how you feel. Before my brother died, he caused and created
so much chaos. I mean, everyone was either with him or against him. The way
Martin acted before he died. Kids are still scared to utter the name of Zoot, for
fear he might rise from the dead."

Bray said, sighing. Jay stared at Bray. "Zoot was your brother? Jay asked his
eyes big. Bray nods. "Yeah, he was my brother. Listen Jay, Martin wasn't as
cruel as he wanted everyone to think. I mean, to me, he was just still little
old Marty. Marty was pretty harmless." Bray said. Jay laughs at Bray. "Zoot
and Marty are hardly even the same person Bray." Jay said. Bray nods. "I
know, and I'm the reason Martin morphed into Zoot. It's my fault Martin
turned out the way he did. I ignored him when we were growing up." Bray
said sadly. "I would ditch him because he wasn't cool."

Bray said. "Since Martin wasn't cool, he wasn't allowed to hang out with
or even be around me and my friends at school." Bray said. He looked
at Jay."There is so much that I just wish I could take back." Bray said,
as he looked at the ground. "Take care of your brother. You never know
when you or he might die." Bray said. Jay nodded. "I will take care of him.
Ved is all the family that I have left." He said. Bray doesn't say anything.
He just looks away from Jay, lost in his memories from the past. Jay sighs
softly. A few moments later Bray turned back around to face Jay.

"Would you be angry if I were to kiss you?" Bray asked softly. Jay shook his
head no. "I want you to kiss me." He said, looking at Bray's lips. "If I do this,
then there is no going back, and no erasing this." Jay said, his heart beating
wildly in his chest. Bray nods. "I want this too." He said, his voice coming out
softly. Jay leaned over toward Bray. As his lips crashed right against Bray's
everything seemed to just all fall away. It was as if they were the only two
people left in the whole world. To them, there was only here and now. Ten
minutes later, Jay pulls reluctantly away from Bray.

"What are we, now that we just made out? Where does that leave us?" He
asks, looking at Bray. Bray shrugs. "You tell me. You are the one that can
leave, not me." Bray said. Jay nodded, keeping silent as he kept all his
thoughts to himself. "But, what if you could leave? Then what would happen?"
Jay asks, looking at the ground. Bray stares at Jay. "How would I...?" He asks,
looking at Jay in disbelief. Jay pulled something out of his pocket. He showed
it to Bray. It was a ring of keys.

They were the keys to the cells. "I'll make it seem as if you escaped." Jay
said softly, not looking at Bray. As Bray got up to leave, he turned back to
Jay. "Come with me." He said, holding out his hand for Jay to take it. "We
can leave together. We can go to the Mall and be together." Bray said. He
watched for Jay's reaction. Jay nods a moment later. He gets up and then
goes and unlocks the cell door. Jay smiles happily at Bray. "Let's go, let's
get out of here." He said happily. Bray looks at Jay silently a moment.

"This certainly is a Surprising Love." Bray said softly to Jay, as they started
walking to the Mall. An hour later, they walk into the Mall. As everyone ran
up to greet the two of them, all shouting hello, and asking where they had
been, and if they were okay, Bray and Jay finally felt complete with each
other, for the very first time in their lives. Bray looks at Jay and smiled, a
loving feeling in his heart for the blonde boy. Bray felt as if nothing would
go wrong and everything was fine.

The End.
