Tyson lurched out of room, blinded by his frustrated pain filled tears.
The tenderness of the hours past was apparently forgotten as his companion's shadow loomed menacingly in the doorway. Tyson stopped running halfway down the stairs and looked upwards bleakly at the figure above him; so tender one moment and in a cold rage the next.
Tyson sighed, mentally berating himself; he'd always known love would hurt, yet he let himself love the one person who could hurt him the most. He blinked back his tears a stared up the stairs defiantly, letting his chocolaty brown orbs meet a pair of equally determined stony grey irises.
"I mean it Tyson." The harsh voice, edged with barely concealed pain floated down the stairs into ears unwilling to listen.
"No you don't." The reply was a statement; there was no point in arguing. "If you did you wouldn't have done it."
Unwilling to listen to anymore lies, the distressed teen launched himself through the front door and out into the star filled summer night.
The figure on the landing shook his head, and blinked back treacherous tears he would never let anyone see fall.
"I was jealous." He admitted helplessly, knowing Tyson wouldn't hear him. He turned and made his unhappy way back to his room. He stood for a few moments staring at his bed in dejected misery. The sheets were still warm, but he wouldn't let himself touch them; all the warmth he needed was gone now, and it was his fault.
NO!!! He corrected himself forcefully; it was her fault.
He'd betrayed Tyson's trust to stop her coming between them, and in the end she'd accomplished her goal anyway.
The boy with a heart of stone fell to the floor, curled into a small ball, and let out a series of gut wrenching screams muffled by the carpet, finally letting his tears run free, as with one last breath before he fell into exhausted sleep, he felt his cold heart break.
A slight creak on the door of the apartment caught Max's half-awake attention. Carefully sliding out of the bed he shared with Rei he tip-toed to the door and peered out in the corridor. It was still dark but he could just barely make out Tyson's figure edging into his room.
Where had he been? And why was he sneaking into his room at this time in the morning?
Then Max heard groans coming from his room and realised that Rei was starting to wake up. He forgot all about want he'd seen and went back into his room, locking the door behind him.
"TYSON!!!"
"Urgghh!!" A shuffling sound followed by snoring seeped through the door.
"WAKE UP ITS NINE O'CLOCK!!"
Rei ambled over to Max, who was still pummelling on the door, and wrapped his arms around the exasperated blonde's shoulders.
"Forget it Max, you'll never get anything out of him."
"He knows that I know he's hiding something." Max muttered stubbornly.
"Yeah but if you break his door, he'll only yell at you for interrupting his sleep." Rei pointed out with a resigned sigh.
"ME?! INTERRUPT HIS SLEEP?!" Max gaped at his boyfriend in disbelief. "Do you even know where he went last night?!"
"Why would I? I managed to get a good night's sleep for once." Rei smirked at Max, who by now was practically seething, he hated being kept in the dark about a secret, and he hated being wound up about it even more.
"YOU'RE THE HENTAI OUT OF US TWO!!" he yelled. Rei stepped back and clutched his chest pretending to be hurt, his amber eyes turning shiny.
"Well I never! I know when I'm not wanted!" He promptly folded his arms, stuck his nose in the air and walked away, leaving a dumbfounded Max sweat- dropping in the corridor.
He then ruined it by closing his eyes as he did so, and consequentially walking into a door.
Rei was half conscious when he felt something soft, warm, and wet, mopping his cheeks and forehead.
He smirked inwardly. "Oooh! Well hell-o!"
"......" frowning
"What's the matter? You can't handle me?!"
"!!!!" steam coming out of his ears
THWACK
"YEEEEOOOOOW!!!!!"
Kenny looked up from his laptop slowly upon hearing Rei's scream of pain, and sighed loudly. He walked through to the living room, and took a moment to take in the hilarious scene that met his eyes.
A now fully conscious Rei was lying on his side curled up into a ball, swatting his hands in random directions, trying to fend off Max's frenzied attacks with a soggy flannel!
"YOU GOD DAMN HENTAI!!! TAKE THIS!! AND THAT!! AND TAKE THIS SOME MORE!!!" By now Max was panting for air and gradually the massacre subsided.
Rei took the opportunity to edge away and dart behind Kenny for protection, should Max suddenly recover his energy.
"What'd you do this time?" Kenny raised one eyebrow at Rei whose eyes were like huge mischievous yellow saucers.
"I dunno." He rubbed his sore behind and frowned at the damp spot the flannel had left on his Chinese style trousers. "Damn! I'm gonna have to change now, and these pants make my ass look great!!" He pretended to pout as he began to walk off.
"So you were talking dirty in your sleep again." Kenny concluded, grinning and the raven haired narcissistic teen.
"Well he must have a split personality or something." Rei mused as he walked through his door.
Kenny shrugged and started to walk back to his own room, but Rei poked his head out into the hall again.
"Either way, he sure doesn't mind me talking dirty when we're both awake!" Then he darted back into his room and slammed the door shut.
Kenny sweat-dropped and looked over to Max, who gone a tasteful shade of red, and was beating the crap out of a cushion, which eventually found itself catapulting in the vague direction of Kenny's head!
"EEEP!!" Kenny yelped and ducked behind the door frame, and couldn't help but giggle as Max let out a loud yell of "GOD DAMN HENTAI!!"
