Boris scratched the back of his head, yawning gently as he tiredly walked down the stairs. He paused when he heard noise behind him. Turning around slowly he saw Yuriy at the top of the stairs, barely awake. He smirked evilly , "Look at the tired wittle woofy...". The fiery redhead glared at him. This was usually their morning ritual, Boris would wake up before the other just to tease and make fun of him, something Yuriy found highly annoying. The red head growled, "Drop it falcon, im not in the mood this morning." Boris smirked at this, "What's wrong red-head, you're usually so eager to fight with me in the mornings. Did you stay up too late last night. Thinking about him perhaps." It worked, Boris had fully pissed off the redhead. Yuriy stomped down the stairs to come face to face with him, "Leave Rei out of this..." If there was anything in the world that would embarrass Yuriy, it was talking about Rei. Boris smirked, "Why my dear captain, you seem to like him enough...why don't we talk about him." He knew he had gone too far, but he loved seeing the red head pissed off. Suddenly, Yuriy grabbed him by his night shirt, "Don't you dare say anything. You know what he's going through right now, don't even bring up the subject." Boris glared at this random act of violence. Of course he knew, he had to face it every day like Yuriy did, and it hurt him just as much. He growled slightly, "Fuck you Ivanov."
"Borisu-kun...that's not a very nice thing to say, especially this early in the morning"
They both looked to the bottom of the stairs, looking at the raven haired beauty infront of them. Boris scratched the back of his head , "Gomen Rei-chan...". Rei smiled and pointed the spatula he was holding at them both. "Don't apologize to me, you should be apologizing to Yuu-chan". Yuriy smirked gently at the kitten, "It's ok Rei-nii...were just both getting off to a bad start this morning". Rei smiled up at them both, "Well that's understandable...hurry up and come down, breakfast is almost ready." Yuriy smiled, "Alright, well be down in a minute." Rei smiled and walked back into the kitchen.
When Rei was fully out of sight, Yuriy turned back to Boris, "We need to be more careful around him.." Boris glared, "Well it's pretty obvious that we talk about him...". Yuriy let out a deep sigh and sat on the step, "It's been three years since then...I don't know how were going to keep this up for much longer." Suddenly feeling guilty, Boris took a seat beside him on the step and ruffled Yuriy's fiery red hair. "Gomen...I really didn't mean to make this into a big thing..." he almost whispered. Yuriy didn't say anything...he knew Boris was just playing with him. Yuriy shook his head, "Poor Rei-chan...three years of this...I think its starting to wear on him...".
This was the first time they had spoken of it in a while. Rei's odd behaviors, and the reason the two Russians had become insanely protective of the neko-jin. It had been three years since Kai's disappearance, but Yuriy could remember the day so clearly.
/Flashback/
Yuriy couldn't sleep, the annoying sound of rain pattering on the window was bothering him to no end. He had been laying in bed for about three hours, listening to the light patter against the window. Even the warm body beside him wasn't enough to pull him into slumber again. He sighed, turning his head to gaze at the sleeping form beside him. He slowly studied the face, peaceful yet still on guard, a bad habit they had all picked up from the abbey. His eyes wondered up to lavender hair, studying the fine silky strands. Yuriy couldn't lie, he was attracted to Boris. Which was probably part of the reason why he was up. He had recently found himself staring at his teammate through all hours of the night, contemplating on silly things such as feelings and emotions. He shook his head and stared back up at the ceiling. 'Not tonight...' he said to himself. Thinking about his lavender haired team mate would only cause him to stay up longer, which would defeat the purpose of trying to go back to sleep. He couldn't help what he felt, or what he thought he felt. Even if the abbey had taught him to block out emotions, the lavender haired teen kept giving him this odd feeling, one he couldn't quite place. Just as he was about to get really annoyed at himself, a subtle knock was heard at his door. He blinked, looking at the door to make sure he head it, and then to Boris, to make sure he was still asleep. Suddenly, the knock got louder and more panicked. He heard a grunt next to him and watched out of the corner of his eye as Boris sat up.
"What the fuck is that..." he said wearily.
Yuriy sat up with him, "I don't know..."
Suddenly, the knocking turned into banging. Yuriy jumped slightly, but swung his legs over the side of the bed. Hurridly, he reached the door and swung it open. He looked down at the mass of black in front of him, and could only guess that it was Rei. Suddenly, he felt the heat of Boris' chest press against his back.
"Who is it Yuu-" Boris stopped when he looked down at the mass of black hair. The two Russians looked at each other, obviously confused.
"Uh...Rei-chan...don't you think it's a bit early?" Yuriy said.
And then, he found himself looking into irresistible golden eyes that were glazed over with unshed tears. Yuriy gasped slightly. Was Rei crying? Rei never cried...unless it was something serious...or Boris was being a jerk to him. Even if Rei did cry...Kai was there to comfort him...so why was the kitten here with them? Suddenly, he watched as a tear slid its way down the neko-jins cheek. Boris gently bumped Yuriy aside, to wake him up from gawking. He grabbed Rei's hand and led him into their shared room. "Rei-Rei...what's the matter? Why didn't you wake up Kai?"
Rei suddenly choked back a sob...and then It hit them both. Kai did something...something to hurt Rei. Ever since Rei had gotten to know them, Boris and Yuuri treated him like a little brother. And to see Rei like this, just hurt them both. Yuriy pulled Rei to the bed and forced him to sit down. "Rei-Rei...we cant help if you don't tell us what's wrong..." he said gently, "did Kai say something to hurt your feelings?"
Suddenly, Rei shoved a crumbled up piece of paper into his hand. Boris looked at him, and Yuuri looked back down at the paper. He uncrumbled it, "It's a note..."
"Read it.." Boris said, sitting on the other side of Rei.
Yuriy replied and read aloud:
My Dear Rei,
Although I regret that I must tell you this through a note, I couldn't bear to wake you up. You looked too peaceful, and I know I couldn't bear to tell you the bad news to your face.
I can't stay here with you, even if it's the one thing I want. I cant put you and the others in danger any longer. Im afraid certain circumstances have come up, and i cant risk you getting hurt.
Im sad to say that last night might have been the last time you ever see me. I know where im going wont be safe, but at least I know in my mind that I left you in a place where you could be taken care of. Don't be sad Rei, but im not sure ill ever come back. I know when you read this you will be confused, so let me explain. What i must do is critical, and will take some time. This journey will be a rough one, and im not sure ill come back alive.
Please don't be upset kitten, I couldn't take you with me on this one. It was too dangerous, and like I said before, I could never forgive myself if you were hurt.
So, its with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to you one last time. Yuriy and Boris will look after you, that im sure of. Please don't worry about me kitten. For if I don't return, know that I missed you every step I was away. And who knows, maybe youll start a new life and completly forget about me. But you must know i------
"What's wrong?" Boris looked at Yuriy. "Some of its scratched out..." He said.
"Well, read what you can..." So Yuriy continued:
This was probably the hardest thing for me to do, but you should understand its for your own good.
Take care kitten
ill miss you
K a i
p.s: make sure Yuriy and Boris don't kill themselves...they're no use to me if they strangle each other
Yuriy dropped the note to his lap as he heard Rei sob. He looked at Boris wide eyed, "He's...gone? But why...I don't understand why he would leave..." Boris shook his head, "Me either...".
"I knew it..." They both turned their heads to Rei. "I-it...it had to h-have been...something i s-said...or he wouldn't have..."he clutched the note to his chest, sobbing gently. Yuriy frowned and wrapped his arms around the neko-jin. "No kitten, i don't think it was you..."He whispered into the Chinese boys hair. Boris looked into Rei's lap, eyeing a piece of familiar white material. "He left...his scarf?" he asked, shocked, "Wow...this must be serious..." Rei sobbed harder, resting his head on Yuriy's shoulder. Yuriy shook his head, "Kami-sama...what have you gotten yourself into Kai..."
/End Flashback/
Ever since then, things had changed around the house. Boris and Yuriy fought more than ever, and Rei was just caught in the middle of it. Perhaps they were angry at Kai and were just lashing out at each other. Yuriy couldn't place it, but the tension between the two Russians had definently gotten worse. Rei on the other hand...Yuriy sighed. Rei had completely changed. After Kai had disappeared, Rei was bent on the fact that he would return the next day. So he did little things, like clean Kai's room every other day, and keep up with Kai's laundry incase he would randomly appear out of thin air. Yuriy didn't even know if Kai was alive much less if he were returning. And that was the part that scared them all. They had no clue where Kai had went, or what he was doing. For all they knew, he could have gone back to the abbey and gotten himself killed. But, to Yuriy's and Boris' amazement, Rei never once stopped believing that Kai would come home. Even though the neko-jin acted normally, they knew that at the end of each night, Rei would cry himself to sleep. Needless to say, after three years of Kai not being with them, the house was a wreck.
Boris sighed, obviously remembering that night too, "What happened Yuriy...we should have kept ourselves together like Kai had asked us too...but Rei ended up saving us instead of the other way around..." . Yuriy sighed, " I don't know Boris...I guess all of this stress is getting to us both...that was three years ago, i guess were not as close as we used to be." Boris shook his head and grabbed Yuriy's hand, a small action that sent shivers down the read head's spine. "Don't worry Yuu-chan," Boris said, squeezing his hand slightly, "I'll try not to be an ass anymore." Yuriy smiled, which inturn caused Boris to smirk gently. "Well that's good...I was getting sick of your attitude..." he joked. Boris pinched him playfully, earning a squeak from the other Russian.
"Yuu-chan! Borisu-kun! Breakfast is ready!" they heard Rei's voice float from the kitchen. Boris stood up, pulling Yuriy with him. They sighed, preparing themselves for another eventful day.
