Chapter 3
Meekakitty
Tony thought long and hard that morning careful not to move. For if he moved, he would disturb the slumber of Ray… Tony stared at the ceiling mindlessly looking for answers. Tony said in a bare whisper to himself, "Why would he be so defensive when I asked him how he met Meekakitty…?" Ray stirred at Tony's words but went straight back to sleep. Tony gave a quick sigh of relief… He went back to his mind with the possibilities, "They are dating? Maybe they slept together…? He actually didn't meet her that way…? Maybe even Meekakitty doesn't want to tell me…" He shook his head at each of the possibilities he listed, "Meekakitty will tell me, unless she doesn't know herself." Ray woke surprised that Tony was in bed with him, "You creeper! Get out of my bed!" It had not been the first time that Ray had found Tony in his bed so it was almost natural routine for him to scream his head off at Tony. Ray suddenly stopped yelling as soon as last night's memories flooded back into his mind. Tony was concerned, "Ray what's wrong…?" Ray gave a disgusted look at his body then back at Tony, "Oh my God, that didn't just happen…" Tony smiled, "I'm afraid it did…besides you were the one who forced me to continue…Remember?" Ray stuttered, "My scar…you heard the story about…" Tony cut in, "Yup." Ray's eyes widened, "No, no, no…this can't be happening!" Tony found this moment perfect for bringing up how he met Meekakitty. Tony started casually, "I won't tell anyone as long as you tell me more on how you met Meekakitty…" Ray stared at Tony hoping it would all end. "Fine," Ray felt defeated, "So she saved me, we went to her house, she cleaned the cut and since I was still kind of mad at my alcoholic dad I wanted to stay. So I stayed, but there were no extra beds for me to sleep on so…" Tony cut in almost screaming, "YOU SLEPT WITH HER?" Ray glared at Tony, "No, I slept on the couch." Tony blushed, "Oh…" Ray chuckled, "God Tony when are you going to start getting your mind out of the gutters?" Tony laughed sheepishly, "Sorry…" Ray got out of bed and pulled on a new set of boxers. Tony's eyes narrowed at Ray, "Wait, that's it?" Ray pulled on his pants next, "Yup, that's it." Tony asked confused, "But why were you so defensive when I asked you how you met her?" Ray looked up and grabbed a t-shirt from the drawer while saying, "Sorry Tony I was just tired…" Tony's eyes widened and feeling a bit dumb he said, "Oh…" Ray pulled on his shirt, "So are we going to go see Meekakitty or what?" Tony's face brightened, "Oh yes! I needed to go ask her something!" Ray started to walk toward the door, "You going to ask her out?" Tony laughed at this but Ray was dead serious. Tony stopped laughing and followed Ray out the door forgetting that he was completely naked. Ray stopped and looked back at Tony, "Um Tony? I think you should get some clothes on before you go ask her out…" Tony grabbed at Ray's wrist as he was about to go downstairs, "Wait! After everything we've done…you want me to date her?" Ray looked into Tony's eyes and shook Tony's hand off of him, "Of course…" and with that he turned and continued on downstairs. Tony heartbroken with Ray's response went back into the bedroom to put clothes on.
*Meanwhile*
"What is taking them so long?" Tessa looked at her watch and back to the window which revealed a very busy looking street. Finally Tessa heard a knock on the door. She opened it to find the man she'd had a crush on for ten years straight. "Hey Meekakitty!" Ray hugged Meekakitty as she squealed on the inside. Ever since the day she had saved Ray she's had a major crush on him. Tessa gave a childish pout, "Ray, I told you to call me Tessa!" Ray tickled her sides, "Meekakitty suits you…meow!" Tessa laughed at both Ray's words and tickle. Tessa tickled Ray back, "Ha-ha-ha, you're so funny Ray!" Ray smiled and whispered, "Tell me something I don't know…" Just as Tessa was about to tell Ray how she felt about him another knock on the door was heard. Ray told Tessa that he got it and opened the door to find Tony huffing and panting. Tony slowly limped into the room breathing heavily, "Ray, why didn't you wait for me?" Ray shrugged, "Didn't feel like it." Tessa gave a friendly hug to Tony, "Awe poor Tony…" Tony hugged Tessa, "Nice to see you too Tessa…" Ray shifted from side to side, "Well if I'm not needed, I guess I'll just give you guys some private time." Ray walked out of the room and into the kitchen to look for some cereal for breakfast. Tony waited for Ray to leave before pulling Tessa close enough so that he could whisper into her ear, "Can you tell me how you met Ray?" Tessa's eyes widened, "Ray told you about that?" Tony answered, "Yeah a little…" Tessa looked around before whispering into Tony's ear, "I have a crush on him…" Tony thought about this for awhile. Tessa blushed, "You can't tell him!" Tony said, "Yeah I know that, but how'd you guys meet?" Tessa started, "I asked my mom if I could go splash around in the puddles…She said no. I disobeyed her anyway and went outside. While I was there splashing around, I heard someone screaming for help. It was a faint scream for help but I could still make out the words. I ran towards the sounds of yelling and found that it lead to a river. The river wasn't very deep but Ray was a very short 12 year old." Tony laughed at this and Meekakitty joined in on the laughing. Tessa continued, "Anyway, I wanted to help him. So I reached my hand down but he kept on pushing it away. So I had to pull him out all by myself. I grabbed on to him and he squirmed and yelled cursing at me. I was going to let go since he was being ungrateful, but when I saw his face…I knew I could never let go… I pulled him out finally. He was really short… I didn't even know he was twelve. He was feisty, like a 5 year old. As soon as he was out I noticed that he had a cut on his face. I sort of guessed that he was abused too because his arms were full of purple spots and his face showed lots of bruises. His eyes were beautiful though… I must admit that the cut above his eye makes him look cool in a way. I offered him to come to my house but he ran away." Tony made a face, "That's not how he told it." Tessa smiled, "Yeah I bet it was the other way around in his story." Tony shook his head, "He said that he stayed at your house." Tessa looked confused, "Huh, that's weird." Tony narrowed his eyes, "One of you is lying…" Ray came out holding a bowl of cereal, "I'm not." He glared at the both of them while coolly munching on his cereal. Tessa stared back at Ray, "Well I'm not either…" Tony looked back and forth between the two, "Ah, I just wanted to know!" Ray and Tessa said in unison, "Let's find out together…" Next thing they knew, they're all sitting in a small circle of three on the floor. Tony yawned, "This is boring…" Ray replied, "This has to be done in order to find out the truth…" Tessa sneered at Ray, "Just admit it Ray! You didn't come to my house because you were too hurt inside!" Ray sneered back, "You just don't want to admit that you kept bugging me while I was in your house!" Tony slumped down, "Guys, I don't really care anymore!" and with that, Tony stood up and left. Ray and Tessa smiled at each other and winked. Ray laughed, "I'm still not lying you know?" Tessa laughed too, "Me too, wanna play some cards?" Ray smiled and nodded. Tony left the building too frustrated to even bother waiting up for Ray. Tessa laughed, "Tony will never know…" Ray laughed along, "Yeah, I know!"
Author's notes: So what do you think of it? Do you think MeekaKitty and Ray make a good couple? IMHO I don't think they should be dating…Just saying…Anyway, I know (I've read up on them) MeekaKitty is Will's cousin…but since Will isn't in this story that fact is totally irrelevant! So I was free to mash it up and do whatever I wanted with it. Reviews are appreciated. If you want me to write more on this, just say so. Otherwise, that's the end! Happy reading!
