Chapter 1
A gentle breeze flowed through the park and stroked Miguel's handsome face as he sat alone on the bench. He was back in Spain, after BEGA and sorting out the trouble with Barthez, his teammates had begged him to return back to Spain so they could see their families.
Three weeks...
It's been three weeks since the day he finally admitted to his teammates constant begging, three weeks since he had seen his love's face.
Three weeks since he last kissed those pouty red lips. Three weeks since he was able to run his hand through those dual coloured locks. Miguel groaned miserably as his thoughts turned to his Russian lover again.
Yes he and Kai had been secretly dating, not even his teammates had found out, although Claude had been getting suspicious.
But with the way he was driving himself crazy he started to regret giving into his teammates, he should've just told them to go by themselves so he could stay in Japan. But of course he knew he couldn't have done that, he was the team captain after all. Miguel sighed again looking up at the sky.
Life really sucked!
He sat there for a few more minutes before he decided to go back to his apartement. He still needed to answer that letter from the press asking him about a personal interview about how Barthez treated them. Running a hand through his hair he started walking. He already knew what he would say to the press, he wasn't fond of them especially paparazzzi following him and his team around asking personal and sometimes painful questions.
He could remember one time he and Kai were at the beach, one of his lover's favourite places, and some paparazzi had followed them, snapping photo's of them. Kai was furious and beat the guy up and sued him for invasion of privacy. After that Kai had threatened every newspaper, reporter, paparazzi that should they ever get near him again he would sue them until they were broke!
Seeing the shocked expression of those reporters was hilarious, but now that he was in Spain thr press wouldn't stop bugging him, asking for interviews wich annoyed the hell out of Miguel.
Now normally Miguel was a very reasonable and patient person but being deprived of both his lover and his privacy was really getting to him. He slammed open the door to his appartement en threw the keys on the table, making a loud sound as they reached the hard surface of the table.
'Why are you so annoyed lately?'
Miguel whipped around only to see Claude standing in his kitchen door, arms crossed and a frown on his face.
'Claude, Jesus you almost gave me a heart attack.'Miguel said as he calmed down his speeding heart en took deep calming breaths. He sat down on the couch en pinched the bridge of his nose.
Claude looked at his best friend, knowing there was something wrong with him and walked over. 'Miguel, what's wrong?'he asked. 'Nothing, really just haven't been sleeping well, is all.'Miguel said not to convincing. Claude rolled with his eyes and sat down next to the blond haired heartthrob.
'C'mon tell me. I know you haven't just been not sleeping well. So fess up!'
'Claude just leave it okay, I'm not in the mood and I really am tired.' Miguel growled. 'You know that tone doesn't work on me right?' the platinum haired youth said, a smirk plastered on his face. 'It's nothing alright! Well there is ... but it's none of your business.'Miguel said heatedly. 'It's about Kai isn't it?'
Miguel froze.
He turned his head slightly to regard his best friend. 'How .. how did you know?'he asked. Claude sighed, 'I saw the two of you the day before we left, you two are dating aren't you?' the platinum haired youth accused. Shit, Miguel thought he knew someone was following them! 'Have you told anyone else?' 'No, Just me ... well and Tala.'Claude said, a blush creeping on his face.
Miguel smirked, seeing the blush marring his best friend's cheeks. 'You like Tala don't you?' he said, a bit smug. Claude blushed even harder en stood up glaring a bit at Miguel. 'I do not!' he said. 'Yeah you do, I've seen you looking at him whenever he's in the vicinity.' Ha, he got him there.
Claude sighed putting his point fingers together in a pouty way, 'Okay so maybe I do like him ... a bit.' Claude shook his head an put his arms in his sides glaring a bit at Miguel. 'But this isn't about me and Tala, this is about you and Kai. And about your less than enjoyable atitude since we got here.'
'Alrigfht fine, I'm sorry okay, I just miss him.'Miguel said, looking a bit miserable so Claude took pity on him.
'Why don't you call him?' he asked. 'I did but he doesn't answer his phone and last time I got Bryan on the phone and he told me Kai wasn't there.'Miguel groaned in frustration.
'Well try again.'Claude suggested.
'Fine I will.'
Miguel grabbed his cellphone out of his pocket and typed in the one number he memorized by heart and pressed the call button.
The phone rang.
'This is Kai, Tyson if it's you again hang up you little jerk or I'll make you run laps for the rest of your life. Everyone else just leave a message after the beep.'came Kai's answering machine. Miguel hung up and looked at Claude. 'Happy, he didn't answer.'he said annoyed.
'Look if you really miss him that much, why don't you go back alone. We wouldn't mind Miguel.'Claude said softly. 'I know, but I don't want to leave you guys here I'm still the team captain and I have my responsibilities. I'm not abandoning those responsibilities, Kai wouldn't want me to.'
Claude just shook his head at his stubborn friend, 'Well that's your choice. Look I'll see you tomorrow, for now try to sleep of your bad mood.'Claude said.
Miguel nodded, 'Alright I will. I'm sorry for being such a grouch lately.'
Claude just smiled and waved it off, 'Ah don't sweat it, I've seen you in worse moods. Aaron on the other hand will kill you if you snap at him again for no reason.' Miguel chuckled, 'Yeah I'll apologise to him tomorrow.'
'Good, I'll see you at practice?'
'Yeah, 10.00 am sharp, in the park.' Miguel said. Claude nodded and left, closing the door behind him.
Miguel rubbed his eyes and walked towards his bedroom, he was really tired. 'Sleep never sounded so nice.'he thought while he stripped down to his boxers and fell down on his bed, exhausted. 'Man never knew being frustrated and sulking could wear you out like this.' He mumbled before he fell asleep.
Claude crossed the street and walked the path that would lead him to his grandmother's house. He couldn't help but be worried about Miguel. His best friend really looked tired and a bit thin, like he hadn't eaten for a few days.
Was his best friend so in love he was wasting away without Kai? The platinum haired youth stopped walking. Yeah Miguel really was so much in love with Kai that he was wasting away without him. If Miguel's bad moods and agressive ways were any indication.
Claude made up his mind, he was going to try and get Kai so Miguel would turn to his old self and also maybe just maybe he would see Tala again. A small blush creeped upon his face again as he thought about the redheaded Russian, Miguel had been right, he had a crush on Tala. But no way was he going to tell the redhead.
He would probably laugh in his face anyway.
He started going into a trot, the sun was just going down and he promised his grandmother he would be home before dark.
But when he turned the corner he bumped into someone and fell flat on his face.
'Ow, hey watch where you're going!'Claude shouted at the person.
A deep chuckle escaped the throat of the person who bumped into him and pale hand came down to his level.
Claude looked up and gasped in shock. The one holding out his hand was none other than Tala Ivanov himself! 'What...?' 'Need a hand?' the redhead asked. Claude nodded mutely and accepted Tala's outstretched hand.
The redhead pulled him up and clumsy as he was Claude tripped over his feet and fell right into the redhead's chest.
Flushing a briljant red Claude quickly apologised and stepped back. Tala however didn't seem to mind the little incident. 'Eumh ... why are you here Tala?' Claude asked after he composed himself. The redhead gave him a wolfish grin and hooked an arm around the other youth's neck.
'Well, me and the others got sick and tired of Kai moping arund, snapping and making people's life hell because he missed his little lover. So I dragged his ass over here so he would finally become normal and give us some peace.'the redhead explained.
'That's great! I wanted to get Kai to come here too. Miguel hasn't been the same since we left Japan so it's was a good idea of you to come here. I'm sure those two will have a lot making up to do.'Claude chuckled.
Tala laughed, making Claude's heart skip a beat. The redhead had such a rich laugh.
'I bet they will.'
Suddenly A thought came to Claude's mind. 'Hey Tala do you have a place to stay?'he asked out of the blue. The redhead looked at him before shaking his head. 'Nope, Kai does obviously but I hadn't really thought about that yet. I'll just find a hotel and that's that.'the redhead shrugged. 'Well .. if you want you could stay with me, if you'd like. My grandmother wouldn't mind ... so ... eumh ... yeah.'Claude said nervously, wringing his fingers.
Tala looked at the nervous teen and smirked. He grabbed Claude's had and pulled the teen into his chest, blushing Claude looked up into the redhead's eyes, surprise written all over his face.
'I'd love to stay with you.' And then he kissed him. His eyes slipping closed Claude let himself be swepted away by the feel of Tala's soft lips on his. He opened his mouth when he felt a tongue brushing his lips and moaned when he felt it brush his own.
The kiss turned more passionate by the minute but air became a problem and they parted. Panting Claude leaned into Tala's chest nuzzling it softly. 'So I guess this means that you like me then?' he asked. Tala gave him a wolfish grin. 'Of course, I don't go around kissing random people.' 'Well that's good,'Claude said, 'Because I like you to.'
'He good, now why don't we go to your place and have a little welcome party of our own.' The redhead said with a perverted grin on his face. Claude blushed but led him to his place anyway.
His last thoughts were of how Miguel would react tomorrow, Claude smirked a bit. Boy was his best friend in for a big suprise!
