enjoy!
Poke. Poke, poke.
"Kai?"
Poke, poke, poke.
"Ka-aiiiiiii"
Poke. Poke. Giggle.
The boy groaned and shifted slightly.
I watched with mild amusement as Max tried to wake our captain who was currently slumped in his chair, leaning against the table asleep.
Kai groaned again. Through his silvery grey bangs I could see his crimson orbs only revealed as tired slits through his long, dark lashes. The lights hit him perfectly, making those crimson slits gleam, shadows falling across his perfect, pale face. His lips were slightly open, perfect for just-.
I bowed my head as I felt my cheeks flush. Ok let's stay away from that subject Rei! As I looked back up again, I saw that Max had gotten no further than he had been a few minutes ago.
Max tried to tickle him but Kai continued to lie there. Just as Max had given up, Kai blinked once, twice and raised his head.
He rubbed his eyes with a loose fist and looked around. "Wha?" he then realised where he was and shook his head. He stood, swayed, regained his balance and then stumbled out of the kitchen, passing Hiro on his way.
Hiro replaced Kai. "Is he ok? He looked kinda flushed."
Max shrugged. "Yeah I think so. Probably just tired still."
I turned to the fridge and began getting things out of it. "Can you go tell Ty and Diachi that I'm getting dinner ready now. Last time I did, a few of my body parts almost got detached."
"Yeah I'll go." Chuckled Max.
Hearing whispering behind us, Max and I turned to find Hiro sitting there with his eyes closed.
"What are you doing?" I asked with my eyebrow quirked.
"Praying a farewell and well-being prayer for Max."
Just as we were sitting down for dinner, Kai walked, correction fell, into the room. Tyson was sitting closest to the door and he quickly stood and slung Kai's arm across his shoulders, steadying the Russian. Hiro pressed his hand to Kai's forehead. He pulled away muttering to Kai. "You've got a really high temperature." He then turned to me and said, "I'll go get his bed ready. He needs rest." And he left the room.
"Sit him down." I said softly so as not to cause Kai more pain. He had rested his head on Tyson's shoulder, breathing sharp and eyes shut tightly. He usually had sharp breathing when he had a bad headache, and I had seen firsthand just how bad they got sometimes.
As soon as Max and Tyson had lowered him to a chair, he stood back up, swaying.
"I'm…fine…" he panted and tried to take a step back but he fell and Tyson and Diachi caught him. They sat him back down again.
I grabbed the thermometer while Max grabbed a glass of water for him.
I 'tsk'ed when I saw how high Kai's temperature was.
"Damn Kai! That is one fever." Breathed Tyson as he read over my shoulder.
Hiro walked back in the room just as Kai was refusing the water.
"You need to drink it Kai."
Kai shot him a glare not liking being told what to do.
"I am fine!" he ground out. I saw him shift his hand slightly so that he was holding his stomach. I stepped towards him and before he could say anything, I had lifted his shirt up revealing an already blackening bruise with a savage cut in the centre. Behind me Hiro whistled.
"How did this happen?" I demanded as I took a glance at his face.
Kai tilted his head back. "Its nothing."
"Kai. How did you do this?" I asked with a bit more force.
He let out a bitter laugh. "Wouldn't you like to know." He whispered.
Shaking my head I stood.
"Well I'm going to have to bandage that and then you're going straight to bed and sleeping. No work, no nothing."
He groaned in protest as we hauled him to his feet. I put his arm over my shoulder and my hand around his waist, supporting him. He tried to push me away but his attempts were futile.
I opened the door quietly and stepped into the room. I tiptoed over to his sleeping figure and rolled my eyes at the sight.
A faint glow that was coming from the laptop that rested on the pillow illuminated Kai's features. Kai himself had his head on the opposite pillow, discs, papers, a book and a pen scattered around him. Soft music flowed from the coputer and as I listened closely I heard nothing but Russian singing.
I stopped the music and closed the laptop, and the placed it on the desk. I collected the papers, disks, pen and book and put them next to the computer.
I stopped as I was about to pull the covers up over him. The moonlight was flooding in through the window above the bed, lighting up Kai's features once more. His bangs fell gently against his closed eyelids, his lips slightly agape. He was wearing nothing but a pair of black baggy PJ pants and the steady rise and fall of his chest was captivating. How he expected to walk through a crowd without making even straight guys horny was beyond me. and I had to live in the same house as him!
I froze as he stirred, my hand hovering just above his cheek, but his steady breathing was all that broke the silence. I lowered my hand to his cheek and stroked it gingerly. Pulling my hand back, I pulled the covers up over him and began to leave. I froze in my tracks, again, and turned slowly when i heard the sound of the sheets ruffling, only to meet with twins of crimson.
Kai blinked a few times and cocked his head to the side. He yawned.
Damn this fever must be getting to him because I highly doubt he would let himself appear so vunerable in front of anyone. I put my finger to my lips. He nodded slightly, yawned again then lay back down. I gave a sigh of relief when I heard his breathing fill the room and I finally stepped back into the hallway, closing the door behind me.
Unbeknownst to me, pools of crimson had opened once more and a small smile tugged at the owners lips.
Over the week, Kai's fever had died down, the occasional hot or cold flush occuring but otherwise he had been fine.
I was currently watching the Russian beauty eat his breakfast. Yeah so it wasn't the most glamorous way to stare at someone. I mean all they do is put food in their mouths, chew and swallow. Or in Tyson's case, grab a handful, stuff it in, swallow, drink, belch then repeat. But somehow Kai made it look so fascinating.
I shook my head. Thank god I'm male. If I'm this horny when I'm a guy (gay but still a guy) then imagine how it'd be if I were female and horny. I shuddered.
Kai raised an eyebrow at me before he shook his head and continued eating his toast.
"Hello!" Hilary's voice ran through the kitchen and I almost fell from my chair as it rang in my head. Did the girl have to scream it right next to my ear? You know what don't answer that.
"You guys ready for the beach yet?" she asked.
"Almost. Just finishing breakfast."
Yes we were going to the beach. Surprisingly, Kai had agreed without hesitation and surprisingly I loved that fact for two reasons. One, I heard his voice and his eyes were open when he said it. Both are beautiful. And two. I love the beach.
It's quite weird really. I mean I'm a neko jin. Half human half cat, yadie yada, but anyway, cats hate water and apparently, according to Hiro, I am more cat than human. When I asked why he thought that he gave a me a whole list of reasons, two of them being me sleeping wherever the sun hit nicely, no matter where it be and the other being the strange phenomenon of me purring in public. But I wont go into that one.
Getting back to the subject, basically cats hate water and I adore the stuff. Sorta. Maybe. Depends. Again, complications that I wont go into.
I turned to stare at Kai only to find him no longer there.
"Rei hurry up!" called Hilary.
"Yeah dude! Let's go!" Tyson added.
I sighed. "Coming!" I called back as I trudged out the kitchen and out into the front yard to join my teammates.
And once again I am to be found staring at Kai. For someone being so intelligent and all you think he'd pick up the hints.
Anyway, he was currently in the surf, well, surfing. And by god he looked hot! The water gleamed on his skin as he trailed his hand through the wave he was currently riding, the sun hitting him perfectly. I sat up slightly as he disappeared into a barrel and disappeared from my sight. I relaxed again when he came out the other end and I got back into my Kai-watching position. Which is me with my chin on hands, lying on my stomach on the sand while Max, Tyson and Diachi bury me. It's really not that bad apart from the occasional sand crab.
Hiro and Hilary were off to who knows where and it was surprisingly quiet. Too quiet… the noise behind me that used to be Max, Tyson and Diachi had seemed to disappear. I tried to roll over so I could see where they had gone only to find myself stuck. After struggling for a few minutes I just flopped back to the ground with a sigh. And ow! There goes another sand crab.
"Re-eiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" aah so that's where my idiots had gotten to. Good I was getting worried. Pft yeah and Kai loves dressing up in a tutu. You know now that I think about that image… he really does look quite hot…
"Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei! Rei!" they continued on and on. How I manage to keep sane at all is beyond me. Oh yeah. Kai…
"Max. Max. Max. Max. Max. Max." I chanted exasperatedly.
"Can we please have some ice cream? Please! Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!"
"Uh… why are you asking me? Why not Hiro or Hilary?"
"Because we don't know where they are."
"Well I'm sorry I can't help you. I'm… busy." No way were they going to pull me away from my Kai!
"Busy doing what? Rei your buried past you waist in sand. What could you possibly be doing?"
Wow. Someone help. I think I may be getting too little oxygen to my brain because Tyson actually sounded intelligent then. Wow. Hell must have frozen over. Twice.
"I am… counting sand grains… yeah that's right!"
"Oh cool! Can I help?" ok then Diachi… if you find that fun then your mental problems must be worse than we originally thought. Wait don't monkeys like to pick small things from peoples hair and all? That must explain it.
Right changing the subject. "Uh we'll get ice cream on the way home ok."
"Well we won't be unburying you until we get our ice cream." Ok I cant believe I am saying this but Tyson has actually managed to sound threatening… has the world flipped or something and forgotten to take me with it? Or did I miss all the news flashes about the meteor that was passing causing strange side effects to people like these no-brainers in front of me?
"What?! You will undig me right now if you know what's good for you." I narrowed my eyes and let a fang pop over I lip. That usually works. Or not. They just stood there!
"Wow, you look like a mutated cat…."
Ok he lost me on that one. So the intimidating cat thing didn't work. Time to try plan B. the kitty cat eyes.
Yes I know it's usually the puppy dog eyes but they never seemed to work for me. So bring on the kitty cat eyes and BAM! It is having ab-so-lute-ly no effect?!? T-that cant be. So now for plan C.
"Guys you better bloody well let me out of here or I'll bite off your fingers and make sure you don't receive dinner for a week!!!"
Damn, it's amazing how fast the dinner thing works. So now to just relax. Oh Kai's coming in!
I watched as he gracefully fell into the water next to him as the wave died out. He came up whipping his hair to the right to shake some of the water out of it. (why do boys actually do that? i've alway wondered...) He ran a hand through it and grabbed his board and began paddling in.
Ok look casual, not like some cat guy who's been stalking him for the past half hour. Ok relax and OW!! I got sand in my eye! And probably the most embarrassing thing in life happened to me at that moment. I began yowling like a cat and thrashing about, screeching at the top of my lungs. I managed to kick through my sand encasement but I don't think the others really noticed. They were too busy gawking at me!
I finally stopped when the sun hit my legs, warming them up. And god damn it! I began purring.
"Rei?"
I froze and looked up. "Oh. Hey Kai."
He opened his mouth and closed it again. "Uh… hello…"
so there ya go! i know its kinda short but i wanted it to end there. the next one for all y stories should be up soon. dnt know which will be the first up...
bye!
