Just a short little one-shot I wrote.
Summary: Kai x Rei, The two have been dating for years, sneaking around behind everyone.
Kai gets sick of all the sneaking and puts an end to it. Better than it sounds I hope.
Disclaimer: No own, go away.
His golden eyes scanned the dimly lit, crowded restaurant, looking for a familiar face.
A few suspicious characters caught his eye first.
Including a man hiding conspicuously inconspicuous behind a news paper.
And his blond friend hiding his face behind a menu.
Another scan across the room and he thought he saw a familiar red head, but at a second glance he saw nothing. Then it was spotted, the familiar face he came here to see.
He walked over to the darkened corner booth, his long braid bouncing lightly with each step he took toward the booth. Reaching the booth, he sat down across from his boyfriend. As soon as he was seated, a waiter came over, two cups in hand.
He sat a cup in front of either of the men and left quietly.
"It's tea, Rei. Stop staring at it, I doubt it does tricks"
Aiming a glare at the man seated across from him, he took the cup in his hand and took a sip of the tea.
After taking in the warmth it offered, he placed it back down on the table.
Rei looked at the man across from him, staring into his coffee intently, as though it were talking to him.
"Is your coffee talking to you, or are you just that intent on avoiding me, Kai"
"I've just been thinking." Kai said, still overly interested in his coffee.
"About"
"Us…I mean, we've been sneaking around for how many years now"
Kai spared Rei a short glance and resumed his staring contest with his coffee.
"Five years to the day." Kai gave a slight nod.
"Whatever, I'm just tired of dodging around everyone. It's just gotten old"
"Oh." Rei let his head slump against his chest.
He ignored the sounds that meant Kai was moving, thinking he was leaving.
Needless to say Rei was a little surprised when Kai kneeled beside him and took Rei's hand in his. And a little curious when all the noises and voices suddenly stopped, when Kai did so.
He lifted his head from his chest to see why everyone got quiet.
Giving the room a quick scan, he saw newspaper guy and menu guy had what they were holding in front of their faces when he came in on the table, revealing the familiar smiling faces of Takao and Max. Another glance and he caught Yuriy and Bryan's faces across the room.
Both men had uncharacteristic smiles on their faces.
A small movement from Kai brought his eyes back to his boyfriend.
His eyes went wide when he saw what Kai had in his hands.
A small velvet black box, containing a gold ring, rimmed with rubies and a single diamond in the middle.
"Will you marry me, Rei?" Kai's voice was laced with nervousness and fear.
And his eyes with love and hope.
With the question hanging in the air, everyone leaned forward, waiting for Rei's answer.
How could he say 'no' to those eyes?
So he said the only thing he could say, the only thing his heart would let him say.
Nodding slightly, he gave the answer everyone wanted to hear,
"Yes."
Well? Good? Bad? Made you wanna throw rocks at the screen?
Let me know, R&R and I might come up with a 2nd chapter if ya want one.
