Forgot to put my A/N on my first drabble Anyway, it basically said, here's my first attempt at romance, if it sucked review and tell me, cos that's how you learn! Same applies for this one, ta muchly :)


Rei was in deep trouble. How could he have been so stupid? It was ruined, and Kai would be so angry. He stared despondently at the object in his hand, thinking bitterly of the chance of love he had lost himself, and close to tears.

Kai's precious scarf. Once, pure white. Now… pink. He would have to confess sooner or later, why not now? He would know that it was his fault - Rei was the only one who did the washing around here – but how to tell him?

"Rei? Have you seen my scarf?" Oh God. Rei turned around slowly, clutching the offending piece of cloth, scarlet in the face. He searched Kai's face for a reaction.

Anger? No. He was…smiling slightly. Now he was taking Rei's hand, leading him to the sacred place that was his room.

Kai opened a drawer, which Rei, despite himself, couldn't resist peeking in. It contained at least a dozen identical scarves! Rei blushed further, at the state he had got himself into. He had just proved his stupidity to Kai about ten times over; he would never like him now.

"Rei." his tone was all it took. Rei calmed down at the amused tenderness in his voice, surprised. Kai gently tugged the offending item of clothing out of his hand and tied it around his neck.

"Don't worry about it." he tossed over his shoulder as he walked away.

Rei didn't. Because, despite Tyson's accusations of campness, Kai was still wearing 'his' scarf a month later, and would wear no other again.
