Author's Note: Wow, okay, I started writing this last night and it's just been a nonstop cycle! I don't know why. I've been suffering writer's block over the past few weeks, and school has been EXTREMELY hectic. For example, I put about 30 hours into a project last week that I had to work on after school. Thursday night I spent almost seven hours straight working on it. DOOM!! Anyway, I'm a little stumped on Expect the Unexpected, and I have two other stories on other sites that I need to work on. Basically, I can not WAIT until summer! If you guys want to know what's going on, I'm going to be updating my profile with a link to my blog that I'm going to be updating more often. Just in case you guys want to know how much I'm freaking out over everything until school is over! haha.
NOTE: I'm not sure how long this is going to be. Right now, I'm thinking two parts, but if enough people hound me, I might be able to make an exception. Especially since KaiHiro happens to be tied with KaiMiguel for my favorite pairing.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Seriously. No, really. Why are you questioning me!?
Chapter One
"Hiro, please, just wait a second!" Kai begged, grabbing Hiro's arm desperately.
"Don't touch me," Hiro hissed, wrenching his arm away.
"Hiro, please, just let me explain," Kai choked out, tears in his eyes. The look Kai was giving him nearly made him cave, but Hiro was just too mad right now.
"I have no reason to trust you," Hiro growled, grabbing his bag and opening the door. "You lied to me. You betrayed me. It's over, Kai. Get used to it."
"Hiro," Kai murmured, but Hiro refused to turn around. If he did, he'd look into those crimson eyes, and he knew he'd instantly give in to the look of pain there. It was hard enough not to give in by the pain in the other's voice.
"Goodbye, Kai. Have a nice life," Hiro said, slamming the door on his way out. Hiro quickly threw his bags into his car and drove away. He didn't look back, and he ignored his phone. After the fifth ring, he finally just turned it off, pulling over and stopping in a park. Hiro gripped the steering wheel as he tried to breathe normally, but it wasn't working. His breath was coming in harsh gasps, and his eyes were starting to burn. Hiro's hands shook as he turned the car off, before finally breaking down.
He thought Kai had loved him. He thought they'd be together forever. Obviously, he'd been wrong. He knew now that their relationship had meant more to him than it had to Kai, and that thought was killing him.
There was only one thing he could do, now. He had to leave, and get as far away as possible. Immediately.
Hiro picked up his phone again and turned it on, before calling his father. He didn't even realize he was calling at three in the morning where his father was.
"Dad, can I come home?" Hiro choked out.
"Hiro, what's wrong?" his father asked.
Hiro broke down again as he relayed the story back to his father. "I can't stay here, Dad," Hiro cried as he finished the explanation, most of which Bruce couldn't even understand. "Please, can I come home?"
"You're always welcome here, Hiro. You know that. Are you sure you shouldn't go back and talk to him? What if this whole thing is a misunderstanding?"
"It's not," Hiro sobbed. "I can't face him, Dad. I can't do it. Please, just let me come home."
"Head to the airport," his father said quietly. "I'm calling and getting you the first flight out."
~*+.+*~
"Kai, would you calm down? I can't understand a word you're saying," Tala said as he led his best friend to the couch. He'd come over after receiving a call from Kai, clearly distressed. As to why the teen was so upset… well… he was still working on that one.
"He's gone," Kai choked out, clinging desperately to Tala.
"What are you talking about? Who's gone?" Tala soothed, texting the other Blitz Boys. If he was going to go hunting later, he'd need somebody to take care of Kai, and somebody to back him up. Perhaps he could borrow some of Bryan's explosives. Honestly, he was out of practice when it came to comforting Kai. The younger Russian didn't call him very much for that anymore. Usually he called Hiro. Wait; why hadn't he called Hiro this time? "Kai, why didn't you call Hiro? Why did you call me?"
Tala knew instantly that he'd said the wrong thing. Kai's grip turned almost painful, his sobs coming more violently as he trembled in Tala's arms. Suddenly Tala's thoughts were multiplying in the murderous category. When he found Hiro, the last thing that boy needed to think about was his next breath. He'd be begging to be put out of his misery.
"What happened?" Kai jumped when the door was thrown open, a very concerned Spencer and Bryan standing in the doorway.
"He's gone," Kai cried, burying his face in Tala's chest as Spencer sat next to the pair and rubbed Kai's back soothingly.
"You told him, didn't you?" Spencer whispered. "I take it that didn't go well."
"He d-didn't believe m-me," Kai cried, pulling away from Tala slightly so he could look at Spencer. "He called me a l-liar. He… He said I'd betrayed him. He b-broke up with me. He p-packed his things and he l-left," Kai sobbed.
"Okay, I missed something," Tala said, looking confused.
"Me too," Bryan agreed. "What's going on? Why would Hiro leave?"
"Why don't you go ahead and tell them, too?" Spencer sighed.
Kai took a shaky breath and nodded, before looking back and forth between Tala and Bryan nervously. "I'm pregnant," Kai finally whispered.
Silence. Tala blinked at him rapidly, looking as if he was just trying to figure out if he'd heard correctly. Bryan stared, jaw dropped, before finally voicing his opinion.
"You're WHAT!?"
~*+.+*~
"Hiro," Bruce murmured as his son quickly threw himself into his arms. "It's okay, Hiro," Bruce soothed. "Come on. Let's get your bags in the car and we'll go somewhere and talk." Hiro sniffed and nodded, allowing his father to push him into the car.
Hiro didn't say a word as they drove, simply bringing his knees up to his chest and burying his face in his arms. Bruce glanced over at him periodically, clearly worried. They finally stopped at a small, deserted beach Bruce used to take Hiro and Tyson when they were little. Bruce got out of the car, frowning when he actually had to open Hiro's door and pull him out. They walked for a little while, before finally sitting down in the sand. "Hiro, tell me what happened."
"Kai's pregnant," Hiro murmured.
"What?" Bruce asked, stunned. "How is that possible?"
"Some experiment they did on him in the Abbey, he thinks. He's not really sure, but it's the only thing he could think of," Hiro sighed.
"So he's pregnant and you just leave him?" Bruce frowned, obviously not pleased. "Hiro, I thought I raised you better than that. How could you do that to the poor boy? He must be terrified."
"I don't care!" Hiro choked. "I don't care if he's scared! He's not my problem anymore!"
"You broke up with him?" Bruce gasped. "Hiro, how could you? I taught you better than that."
"The baby isn't mine, Dad!" Hiro cried, shaking now. "He cheated on me. I couldn't stay. It hurt enough to know he cheated on me, but how could he expect me to raise a baby that isn't mine? To be reminded every day of what he did to me? I couldn't do it."
"Are you sure it isn't yours?" Bruce asked quietly. "He can't have possibly had a DNA test to prove it or something. The baby isn't even born yet."
"We've never had sex," Hiro sighed, too upset to even bother being embarrassed at talking about sex with his father. "We lived together, yeah, and we slept in the same bed, but we never actually had sex. We were both too nervous, and neither of us really knew how we should initiate it. At least, that's what it was for me. For him, it must have been that he was doing some guy on the side."
"Did he tell you that?"
"No," Hiro scoffed bitterly. "He just kept begging me to let him explain."
"And did you?" Bruce asked.
"I couldn't, Dad! I couldn't just stand there and listen as he told me how he cheated on me."
Bruce sighed as he held Hiro. He understood where Hiro was coming from. He just had a weird feeling about the whole situation. Something was off. He just didn't know what.
~*+.+*~
"So Voltaire comes back to haunt us with his wicked little experiments again," Bryan sighed.
"Technically, we all have the ability," Spencer murmured. "I just never thought to bring it up. At the time, Kai was telling us he and Hiro were planning to wait until Kai's 18th birthday before they had sex, and the rest of us aren't exactly the type that are willing to take it, rather than give it," Spencer continued. "I should have told you guys. I'm sorry."
"We were planning to wait!" Kai sighed. "Then one night after going to a birthday party he comes home drunk. I didn't even realize he was drunk though. Other than being more sexually aggressive and more romantic, he doesn't act differently from when he's sober. Even though I tried to talk him out of it, I admit I wasn't trying that hard, because I wanted him too. And the next morning, he didn't say anything about it. In fact, he didn't say a word to me, which I now realize is because he was hung over. But I thought it meant I'd done a bad job or something. I never mentioned it, because I was too afraid of his reaction. I was afraid that I'd done a bad job, and if I brought it up, he wouldn't want me anymore. Now I realize he just didn't remember."
"Aw, Kai," Tala sighed, hugging Kai tightly. "Did you tell him about it?"
"I tried. He was too busy telling me I was a liar, that I betrayed him, and that it was over!"
"How long ago did this happen?" Bryan asked.
"Four months," Kai said quietly. "I've been getting sick randomly for the past month. That's why Hiro finally made me go talk to Spencer to see what was going on. Spencer told me this morning."
"I'm going to kill him," Tala seethed. "That bastard!"
"Tala, no," Kai said, looking up at Tala. "Don't hurt him. He's mad. He has every right to be."
"Kai, how can you say that?" Bryan asked, completely shocked. "He was supposed to love you, and he didn't even bother trying to listen to you."
"Would you have listened if your boyfriend suddenly told you he was pregnant with your baby, and yet you didn't remember ever having sex with him?" Kai retorted.
"I don't care if that's a valid point or not. He's still a bastard," Bryan growled.
"I don't want to deal with this anymore. I just want to go to bed," Kai sighed, pulling his knees up to his chest.
"Alright, Kai, come on," Bryan murmured, picking Kai up and carrying him to his bedroom.
"I know you guys want to kill Hiro right now, and I don't blame you," Spencer said, "but don't leave yet. Kai really needs us right now, and it's not like we can prove to Hiro that the baby really is his. Maybe when the baby is born he'll be able to really tell just by looking at the baby, but by then at least we can get a DNA test to prove the baby is his."
"We shouldn't have to," Tala growled. "Hiro is a bastard."
"I know," Spencer sighed. "The only thing we can do right now is wait. We can't leave Kai."
~*+.+*~
Two months later
"I can't take it anymore," Tala said as he and Bryan sat in the living room, listening to Kai suffer through morning sickness again. Kai's pregnancy wasn't going well at all. The poor guy was stressed out beyond belief, and he felt incredibly alone despite being around the Blitzkrieg Boys all the time after they moved in with him. They were worried. Kai was a wreck. He was also having nightmares, most of which involved one of the Blitzkrieg Boys dying a violent death, or reliving Hiro walking out on him. Or even dreams of Hiro dying; it varied.
"I haven't had a full night's sleep in a month," Bryan yawned.
"We've got to do something." Tala and Bryan looked up when they heard Spencer come in, looking extremely tired.
"Is he okay?" Bryan asked, frowning.
"Yes and no," Spencer sighed. "I don't' know how much longer he can take this. His body is doing everything to protect the baby, so the baby is totally fine. Kai's condition is deteriorating, though. He's getting weaker. He needs something to take his mind off the stress."
"He needs Hiro."
