Rei's Dirty Little Secret by Yaoi Girl
Ah, the life of a high school senior. So full of anxiousness to end the forced school life once and for all, or to continue on into college and force yourself to go instead of your parents, or to simply go work at a fast food restaurant flipping burgers or being a cashier at your local department store until you can find something better.
A life so full of regular teenage angst and drama. All the friendships, all the lovers, all the experiences…
'An entire 180 days to go,' one Hiwatari Kai inwardly groaned as he sat in his navy blue XTerra (A/N: I WANT ONE!!! I could so see Riku from Kingdom Hearts driving a silver one…ahem…), staring at the school building from the horrible looking parking lot off to the right side of the building before turning to tug his beat up black backpack, which had many years of wear and tear, from his back seat. Why he brought it on the unnecessary first day, he may never know.
He climbed out of his vehicle, making sure to lock it with his handy dandy remote locker-majig, before shifting his bag on his right shoulder, heading up to the dreaded building to begin his last 180 days in the hell hole known as high school.
As per usual, other than the fact that Kai's parents were indeed rather wealthy and loved to flaunt it with their beloved son, the girls fawned over him as soon as they caught sight of him walking lazily to the brick ancient building in his skin tight black rock band T-shirt and baggy, dark colored jeans, his short, slightly messy two-toned blue hair looking perfect as always. And the newly formed freshman group of fan girls that had only heard stories of the infamous Hiwatari stood at the door, gawking and giggling, even as he shot them a crimson glare and walked past them.
The common area was already packed with 'eager' students waiting for the day to begin, talking in their groups and glaring at others while badmouthing at the same time.
He smirked to himself and shook his head slightly, again shifting his bag before frowning when an arm was slung around his shoulders, pulling the teens head towards the arm owner's own so that Kai's left side was touching his right as they both continued walking forward.
"What do you want, Yuriy?" he sighed, not fighting the arm.
"I just wanted to see how my bestest friend in the whole world was doing since he rarely called me all summer!" he mock squealed as the arm tightened slightly, drawing Kai just that much closer before it instantly returned to the way it was moments ago, grinning like a maniac.
The bluenette shrugged the arm off as they came to a stop in their usual little hiding spot, away from the preps and other creepy people, instantly sinking to the floor to prop himself up in the corner beneath one of the stair wells. Once settled, his eyes landed on his slightly preppy friend – who dressed like one but didn't act like one at all; instead, Yuriy'd much rather mock them any day – and shook his head at the boy's ever spiky bright red hair as the teen sat across from him on the thin, faded carpet floor.
"I thought you were gonna do something different with your hair this year, like you've said every year since I've known you?"
"Too lazy," the red head shrugged as he crossed his legs and propped himself up by stretching his arms out behind himself.
Kai snorted and rolled his eyes before looking out into the common area to take in the 'fresh meat' freshman to see if there was either anyone worth picking on or possibly screwing a time or two sometime during the year. The sophomores and above knew what a dog Kai was, but still held a certain respect for him. But hey, what upperclassmen hadn't slept with half the school by the time they'd reached the senior level?
All the while he eyed the people, Yuriy was prattling on about something or other that happened over the summer and was enthusiastic about telling someone who at the moment paid him no heed. If only Kai had been listening…
The bell rang and the pair stood, the red head still yammering on as they headed to Kai's locker, seeing as he was in fact one of the few ignorant people who had indeed brought a backpack to school the first day instead of just a pencil or pen, where he tossed the beat up bag into it before shutting it and heading off to his first class. Yuriy had since left, muttering something about 'I can't believe you're taking home-ec again.'
Now, don't get Kai wrong. He could cook what he needed to when he was hungry between meals at home or whenever the cook had a night off and he felt like helping his mother in the kitchen and he didn't need to know how to sew or do other womanly things, he had a couple maids and stuff for that, but he knew the basics of it after spending a couple years in this class.
But, of course, it wasn't for the learning that Kai went to his particular class. It was, in fact, for the girls that he could potentially sleep with, and maybe a guy here and there if they fit his mood and needs.
And the best thing was: his parents didn't care! As long as their son did well in school and didn't contract any diseases and practiced safe sex, he was pretty much allowed to sleep with whomever he wanted whenever he wanted. And his parents never bothered him when he came home with someone. Of course, he did get scolded from time to time by them when a girl would come down the stairs crying and run out the door because their son refused to have serious relationship with anyone. Period.
For home-ec, since the didn't use text books anyway, the teacher had set up a lesson for them to cook some chocolate chip cookies from the dough she had already made. Half of the people that were new to her class – yes, Kai wasn't the only person who took home-ec repeatedly – wouldn't be able to make and bake the dough within the 55 minute period. They would, however, have time to eat them before class ended.
Of course, the girls were flocking around Kai and his perfectly baked cookies, practically begging him and trying to seduce him into giving them some cookies and maybe more. But he did like he usually did, ignored them and ate his cookies as if none of them were there. But then again, the freshmen didn't yet know any better, that that wasn't how you got into Kai's pants. He came to you if he wanted something. And he wasn't shy about it either.
After shoving the last cookie into his mouth, the bell rang and he was more than happy to get away from the sea of estrogen and glaring males.
'Next class,' he mused as he pulled his folded up schedule from his left cheek pocket. '…is English.'
Nothing exciting there. Sure, the teacher was cool and didn't really care that you didn't pay attention, so long as you answered at least one of his questions before you left his room in order to receive credit for the day. As he sat in the class, again being drooled and giggled over, he idly wished that he had brought his notebook with him so he could doodle or something before he fell asleep. He didn't have to worry about notes or anything being passed to him in this class because all the people in it were seniors with him, and they knew how Kai operated.
It was then that it dawned on him that 'Hey, I'm nothing more than a sex god to them!' He shrugged it off. He could deal with that. He was, in fact, very good at what he did, or so he was told. Sex was all about high school and college, right?
Finally, the boring lecture of how this semester would operate and what to expect and blah blah blah ended.
And finally his favorite class rolled around for 3rd period. Band.
Yes, other than sex, Hiwatari Kai was a band dork, so to speak. He wasn't hard core into it like the pep band and stuff, but he did take marching band seriously. And his weapon of choice happened to be the trumpet. Of course, he had piano lessons like just about any other rich kid, but he preferred the brass instrument to the piano any day, and also had a private tutor for that growing up as well. Needless to say, he was the band teacher's pet.
Of course, today they didn't play. Just sat around and talked about when sign-ups for pep band and chair placements would be along with a few competitions they would more than likely be entering that year.
Then Algebra. He hated that class. Not because of the material itself, but because the teacher was terrible. Sure, the guy was cool and all, but he couldn't teach to save his life. And he would, of course, be the one to give them a book the first day. Kai sighed. At least he'd have lunch after this class.
He glanced around the room as the teacher prattled on about whatever – he really needed to learn how to focus in on what people were saying – and noticed that someone was missing. Someone that had been in at least three of his classes since he started high school.
A certain untouchable, gorgeous, perfect in everything, straight A student with long, silky, raven colored hair that was usually in a braid down his back – or in a bun if the girls got a hold of him – alluring amber colored eyes, and talked to, if not friends with, everyone. 'What was his name again…?'
He put an elbow on his desk and his chin in his palm as he stared off into space, thinking of the teen that he couldn't remember the name of. The one he had wanted so many times to take into the bathroom stalls and screw senseless on more than one occasion.
It wasn't that the teen reminded Kai of a girl because of his hair or anything else for that matter. The guy was just so fuckable. And did he mention gorgeous? And probably still a virgin?
The guy was always so busy studying – often times found in the library during lunch or study hall – that he was never seen with anyone. It's like his studying and books were his lovers.
But it wasn't so unnatural that the boy would be gone. Kai had found it odd that for 3-5 days in a row out of any given month, the guy wouldn't show up to school. No one knew why.
Soon enough, lunch rolled around and Kai found himself sitting at a table across from his annoying red headed friend who was mercilessly shoving French fries down his throat while Kai eyed his food wearily. He'd have to remember to start bringing his lunch.
"Do you remember that one guy with the really long, black hair?"
Yuriy nodded absently, his focus remaining on his food.
"What was his name?"
While he swallowed and yoinked a tater tot from Kai's try, he replied, "I think it was Rei something or other."
'That sounds right,' Kai nodded as he watched his friend finish off his tots.
"What about him?"
The bluenette blinked up at him, having expected the 'conversation' to end. "Nothing really. I just noticed that he wasn't here today."
"Maybe he doesn't have any classes with you this year. Maybe he moved?" the red head shrugged as he finally just swiped Kai's tray, noting that he wasn't going to eat anything.
Hastily, Kai snatched his chocolate milk carton from his tray – Yuriy wasn't gonna have everything! – and popped it open.
"No, too many girls have been complaining that he didn't show today. No one's mentioned anything about him moving."
The red head shrugged as he dug into the food, devouring it in a less than appetizing manner.
Once lunch was over, he still had gym – another of his favorite classes – history, and study hall – which he was more than willing to skip. It's not like the over-seer ever took attendance anyway – then he could go home. He couldn't go straight home after 6th period because his parent would know that he was skipping.
Slowly, school rolled on and finally ended, and Kai was more than willing to run to his vehicle and climb in as the rabid fan girls chased him down to give him love letters and the like. He really was a sex god!
And thus was the first day of the self proclaimed sex god's senior year of high school.
The next few days dragged on like usual, and still no sign of Rei. It confused him that he pondered so much on the oh-so-fuckable teen. Maybe it was because Rei was one of the few people – save for this year's freshman – he hadn't screwed since he had been in high school.
Thankfully, Saturday and Sunday came, and once Monday hit, there, sitting next to him in Algebra, was none other than the perfect, gorgeous, virgin himself.
As Kai took his seat and couldn't help but offer, "Are you feeling better?"
At hearing the voice, Rei turned to him with his head cocked slightly to the side and offered a vague shrug. "I'm not completely over it yet."
"What was wrong?"
"It's nothing," he smiled. "Nothing to worry about. You're Kai, right?"
The blunette nodded.
"I know we've had classes together before, but I don't think you've ever talked to me," Rei then went on as he shuffled around his papers and text book, pulling out a small stack of homework from the week prior that he had missed.
"I tend to keep to myself most of the time," he replied, his eyes still focused on the teen beside him.
"Noticed. Hopefully I can pull you out of that shell," he said, turning his attention back to Kai. "I don't like sitting next to people I can't talk to."
"I talk, when the occasion calls for it."
Rei smiled again before standing, heading to the teacher's desk to hand over his over due assignments.
It was then that Kai took the opportunity to take in Rei's pants that showed off his bottom and thighs beautifully and the shirt that hugged him just enough with his silky locks in a ponytail for once.
'Definitely fuckable,' he mused as the teen turned and walked back to his desk, swaying his hips so deliciously. Hell, everything about him was so damned delicious!
However, once Rei reached his desk, he didn't sit down. Instead, he looked down at Kai in a questioning expression before raising a hand to his cheek. "Do I have something on my face?"
Only slightly, Kai's crimson eyes widened. "Uh, no! Nothing's there."
Rei smirked as he slid into his seat. "Then what were you staring at?"
Kai turned his face away from Rei, embarrassed as hell for the first time in a long time. And he didn't know why! Everyone knew how Kai worked, so was Rei simply toying with him? Trying to beat him at his own game? "Nothing."
Rei shook his head as he opened his book to whatever page they were told to and began to scribble some things down, leaving Kai to his thoughts.
Once class had ended, Kai happened to notice an additional pair of feet walking next to him as he stared at the ground with his book tucked under an arm. He then looked up to the owner of said feet to see Rei walking beside him, tucking some of his bangs behind his ear.
"Why are you following me?"
"I could ask you the same thing," Rei smiled sweetly. "My locker is this way."
That made sense.
Kai stopped at his locker, noting that Rei was indeed still next to him, opening the locker right beside his on the left. This caused Kai to smile mischievously. Things were definitely looking good this year.
"You wanna walk with me to lunch?" the slightly smaller teen asked as he closed and leaned against his locker, looking to Kai.
Kai peered around his locker at him. "Why are you trying to get so friendly all of a sudden?"
Rei shrugged. "I just like to know everyone and it's my last year to get to know you."
"Yeah, sure."
"Huh?" Rei inquired as he pushed away from his locker as Kai closed his. Was he being made fun of?
"Sure, I'll walk with you to lunch," he said and the pair then headed down the crowded hallway towards the cafeteria.
"You wanna sit with us, Rei?" a couple groups of people asked as the pair passed through the tables. And he had turned everyone down politely before catching up to Kai.
"Mind if I join you?" the raven haired teen then asked before receiving a nod from Kai and a shrug from Yuriy.
As Rei pulled out a chair and began to sit, the bluenette offered, "Rei, Yuriy. Yuriy, Rei."
"Hey," was all that the red head offered in return as he was mulling over which line to go through today.
After Yuriy had chosen which food he wanted to attempt to eat today, he and Kai stood, and Kai noticed that Rei simply sat there.
"Are you gonna eat?"
Rei shook his head. "I usually don't even come here. I typically go to the library during lunch."
"Are you hungry?" he then inquired, not satisfied with the answer.
"A little."
"Then let's go."
Rei looked away from him, as though ashamed.
"I'll buy your food, so come on," he said as he grabbed the teen by the arm and hauled him up, steering him towards his red headed friend.
"Really, I'm fine," Rei protested weakly as he rubbed at his stomach idly with a slight grimace.
"You alright?" Yuriy inquired, now that he had nothing else to focus on other than the line moving.
Raven eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the ground, seeming to be fighting something internally before he turned and ran, a hand coming up to his mouth seconds later before he was out the cafeteria doors and in the bathroom.
"He said he wasn't quite over whatever," Kai murmured as the red head looked to him for an answer. "I'm gonna go check on him."
"Are you serious?" Yuriy gasped in true shock. "Since when have you been this caring about anyone?"
He was right; Kai was usually cold and uncaring towards most people, unless he wanted something from you. But with Rei, he wanted to be open.
Without a word or explaination, the bluenette slid out of line and headed to the bathroom Rei was currently taking refuge in.
"Are you really that set on not eating?" Kai chuckled, even as he heard the other teen hurl his guts out. "You gonna be okay?"
There were a few dry heaves before the toilet flushed. "I may need to go home for another day or two," he said as he exited the stall, heading to the sink and staring in a slight horror at the red substance on his cheek that had more than likely splattered.
And this didn't go unnoticed to Kai as Rei quickly wiped it away with a paper towel.
"Is that blood?"
Rei closed his eyes as he idly washed his hands. "Yes."
"You're throwing up blood?!"
"Not as much. It'll stop in a day or two."
"Why are you not in a hospital?" he inquired as Rei dried his hands before slightly angered amber eyes met his own crimson ones.
"I don't like it when people ask so many questions about my health. It's been going on for a few years and it's not going to stop for many more, okay?"
"Sorry. I was just…worried."
Rei sighed and shook his head. "I should be sorry. Thanks for being concerned and all, but really, it's nothing you need to worry about. It's been taken care of."
"Obviously not if you…"
"Please, drop it, Kai. Let's just go eat," he somewhat pleaded as he started to leave the bathroom.
The rest of the day went on, but Kai noticed an empty seat in his last two classes that – he had found out during lunch – Rei was supposed to be sitting in.
'Maybe he went home after lunch since he still wasn't feeling well,' he mused as he stared idly out the window.
He still couldn't figure out why he wanted to be nice to Rei and actually get to know him instead of using his charm and seducing him. Maybe it was because Rei wasn't as innocent as he looked and knew how to play the game too.
Next chapter will be more Rei-centric. I'm gonna try to alternate them.
