Barriers
(Normal POV)
Kai walked into the room him and Rei were sharing. Rei was sitting on his bed in his boxers. He was looking at Kai strangely. Kai just continued to walk in the room towards the changing screen. He undressed keeping his boxers on. He came out noticing Rei was still looking at him. Kai laid down on his bed when Rei spoke up.
"Do you even wash your face?"
"Of coarse I wash my face I'm not dirty!"
"Well then do you paint your face right after? You do know paint's not good for the skin, right?"
"I don't paint my face! Now go to sleep!"
"But Kai if you don't paint your face, what are those?"
"What are what?"
"Those blue triangles on the sides of your face."
"None of your business!"
Rei got of his bed and sat on Kai's. He placed his hand on Kai's shoulder. Eyes serious and caring as he spoke softly.
"It's ok Kai you can tell me I wont laugh."
"Whatever"
Kai turned away from Rei. Rei did not leave but insisted with that soft caring voice. The voice that was slowly breaking down Kai's barriers.
"Please tell me."
"They're tattoos. Are you satisfied?"
"Tattoos why would you choose that for a tattoo?"
"I didn't, now go to sleep."
Rei lay down beside Kai. He was looking Kai straight in the face.
"Who did?"
Rei placed a hand on the side of Kai's tattooed face. He ran his fingers over the blue marks. Kai started to feel warm. He closed his eyes 'What's wrong with me?'
"My Grandfather"
Rei looked like he was about to cry. Kai went to cup Rei's cheek but stopped himself. 'What is wrong with me? This is Rei, just one of the idiots of the team. Right? Then why I'm I not stopping him?'
"Why would he do such a cruel thing?"
"I made a mistake, this was my punishment."
"It must have been a big mistake."
"Whatever"
Kai turned his body away from Rei. He needed to get himself together. He needed to think straight. Rei definitely was not helping that. Rei moved up behind Kai. He draped his arm over Kai's chest. Kai tensed but felt oddly comfortable 'what is going on with me? Am I losing my touch or do I like Rei? No, I do not care for anyone! Then why do you feel all warm and fuzzy knowing he is here with you? Screw it I'll sleep tonight and worry tomorrow.'
"Goodnight Kai."
"Goodnight Rei."
