Elemental Gypsy requested more fluff featuring her pet couple, and I felt like I should explain the Bryan incident better; hense, this chapter was born. Enjoy!

Stress
"Uugh."
A lithe bluenette dropped tiredly to the ground, rubbing her forehead in a disbelieving manner. The blond beside whom she was seated raised his eyebrows sympathetically.
"That bad, huh?"
"Don't even get me started," Kai grumbled, shaking her head. Then, seeming to snap, "I don't know where he comes up with these things!"
"Who, Bryan?" her companion asked.
"Yes, Bryan! That nutcase…"
"What is it this time? I know Garland was pretty mad at him, but that seems to happen almost every day."
"Yeah, well, Bryan's gotten into doing these kind of completely ridiculous 'displays of affection' almost once a week now. I almost wish she would just go out with the damn idiot so I wouldn't have to deal with him anymore."
"That would make things simpler," Miguel agreed, offering Kai two sandwiches. "Plain or mayo?"
She chose one, tearing off a sizable bite and chewing aggressively for a few moments. Once she had swallowed she continued. "I just can't believe him. He actually defended himself to me, told me about how long it took to weld that door shut so neatly, how late he stayed after school on Friday. Vice-principal Barthez wants to ban him from the workshop and all shop classes now. Bryan went nuts."
"Can't blame him, I guess," Miguel agreed reasonably. "He spends most of his time there."
"Yeah, so I had to tell him how to smooth things over with Garland and the administration, plus then Tala skipped class again this morning, dragging Raul along with him."
"They didn't do anything destructive, too, did they?"
"No, I'm sure they were just making out in Tala's car," Kai snorted, then sighed in exhaustion. "I can't deal with this. It's only Monday."
"Then don't. They're both sixteen years old – they can take care of themselves."
"Yeah, it's the rest of the world that I'm worried about. And Raul's barely fourteen."
"I meant your 'brothers'," Miguel smiled. Catching her wrist, he pulled her closer, demanding playfully, "Come here."
Kai set down her lunch and complied, allowing Miguel to pull her onto his lap and wrap muscular arms around her slim waist and shoulders. Closing ruby red eyes she willingly met his kiss, running her hands through his wild blond hair and over his neck and shoulders.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as Miguel's mouth moved sensuously over hers and his warm hands caressed her back. She pressed closer to him so their bodies were flush against each other, heartbeats running in rapid tandem. Miguel clasped her tighter in his arms, burying a hand in the long blue hair at the back of her head as her fingers played over the muscles of his shoulders.
After several minutes of wordless exchange, Kai settled comfortably into Miguel's lap, turning to face down the hill into the schoolyard where their friends and classmates were also enjoying the sun and a few minutes of free time. Sighing, she rested her head against Miguel's shoulder, closing her eyes peacefully.
"Feel better?" asked Miguel gently, kissing the top of her head. His right arm remained around her waist, keeping her comfortably secure in his grasp. She nodded against his chest.
"We have a few more minutes. You have time to finish eating," he encouraged.
"Ok," she half-heartedly agreed, accepting the sandwich he handed her. Both make quick work of the food, idly watching other students from their perch atop the hill by the schoolyard. Miguel began to gently massage the back of Kai's neck, seeking and soothing points of tension.
The pair rose reluctantly at the sound of the bell signaling the end of their lunch break, gathering the remnants of trash left from their lunch. Miguel's fingers intertwined with Kai's as they strolled down the hill to a trash barrel, then toward the back entrance of the cafeteria.
"Are you free tonight?" Miguel asked as they paced up the halls, dodging an irritated-looking Scotsman chasing a smaller, giggling boy. Johnny's receding shout – "Daichi! Get back here!" – was almost lost in the noise of the halls at passing time.
"Yeah, I can come over around seven," Kai said, turning toward her boyfriend as they reached the point where they had to part. Miguel wrapped his arms around her shoulders as hers laced around his hips. She rested her head against his chest momentarily, breathing in a deep, calming breathe.
"Don't worry about it," Miguel murmured, smoothing a hand over her hair. "Everything will be fine. And just think of the stories you'll be able to tell our children someday."
"Our children, huh?" asked Kai skeptically.
"Yeah, well… you do still want some, right?"
Kai smiled at the concern in his voice and tugged on the front of Miguel's shirt, pulling him into another kiss. "As long as they don't end up like Bryan," she acquiesced.
"I'll check my family tree for insanity," joked Miguel.
Smiling softly, Kai gazed tenderly up into his bright sapphire eyes. "I love you."
Miguel smiled back and dipped his head to catch her lips once again. "I love you too, Kai."
