KK, chappy 2!

Oh yeah, in this fic the Bladebreakers are renting a log cabin ^_~

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Come and lay right on my bed, sit and drink some wine

I'll try not to make you cry

And if you'd get inside my head, then you'd understand

Then you'd understand me

Why I've felt so alone, why I kept myself from love

And you became my favourite drug

So let me take you right now and swallow you down,

I need you inside"

"Unstoppable" by "The Calling" *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Later that evening Kai sat in the living room of the cabin, watching the end of an old film. The others had gone to bed early as they were going sight seeing in the morning. When the film had ended Kai found that he wasn't tiered at all. He flicked through the channels for a while but found nothing to his interest. /Bored, bored, bored! / He thought, leaning up against the far wall, beside the fireplace. /What to do./ He absentmindedly took Dranzer out of his pocket and began rolling it around in his palm. One thought came into his mind. /Wonder if Rei's asleep yet./

There was a noise upstairs. Kai sighed and turned off the TV, thinking that maybe the noise had woken up one of his teammates. The room was bathed in darkness.

*~*In Rei and Kenny's Room*~*

Rei couldn't sleep. No matter how much he relaxed he just couldn't drop off. Something was on his mind, but he couldn't pinpoint what.

"Kenny, you awake?" Rei whispered. No reply. He was asleep. /Lazy bugger/ Rei thought as he sat up and pulled on an old blue shirt. He picked up one of the books he was reading and made for the chalet living room.

He tiptoed to the door, made it down the stairs and collapsed on the old brown sofa in the living room without making a single sound. The darkness in the living room was almost comforting to Rei as he tried to relax. After ten minutes he realised it was impossible. He reached over and turned on the tableside lamp so that he could read the book he'd picked up.

To his major surprise, Kai was leaning against the wall by the fireplace, his eyes closed and Dranzer in his hand. Rei hadn't noticed him in the shadowy moonlight.

"Kai!" Rei said, stunned. Kai glanced up.

"Yes?" He gave an amused smile at his astonishment.

"Man, you can keep quiet!" Rei said, leaning back against the sofa. He was trying to make conversation, as this didn't happen very often.

"I never really talk unless it is required." Kai answered, "You know that." He put Dranzer back in his pocket and stood upright, so that he wasn't leaning against the rough stone.

"Heh. It's so peaceful down here. The others are all asleep." Rei said, standing up and walking over to where Kai was and standing next to him. He was beginning to feel restless again. Kai turned so that he was facing Rei.

"It is, isn't it?" He gave a little laugh and shook his head. "So why are you down here anyway?"

"Couldn't sleep. Something on my mind"

"What?"

"I'd tell you if I knew." Rei shook his head. "Its been bothering me for a while now. It's as if I need to tell someone something but I don't know what."

"I know the feeling." Kai said.

For the first time Rei noticed just how close he was to Kai. /Hu? I could have sworn we were about three feet away from each other before, but now our arms are practically touching! / Even just the thought of brushing against the team captain sent shivers down his spine. Kai noticed.

"You cold?" He asked, walking towards one of the cupboards on the opposite wall.

"A little, yeah." Rei said. Now that he thought about it, the room was a little chilly.

"Me too." Kai said, pulling out a large blanket from the store. He sat down on the sofa, pulling the blanket so that it covered one of his shoulders. "Turn the TV on something decent might be on now." He said to Rei. Rei did as asked and then went to sit down next to his crush. Kai lifted the blanket a little and motioned for Rei to come under it too.

"You sure? I can just get another one." Rei said.

"What's the point? This one's large enough." Kai replied. Rei shrugged and pulled the cover around him.

Presently he found himself falling asleep (finally) and decided to give into the warm drowsy feeling. He leaned against Kai's shoulder, using it as a pillow, and drifted away to the land of nod.

Kai looked down at his teammate in shock. When he saw his eyes closed and a sleepy smile on his face, though, he just shrugged and put his arm around the younger teens shoulder.

Soon Kai fell asleep too.
