Chapter 6. One more chapter to go. Please enjoy!
"I'm surprised," Robert says to himself as he lowers the phone from his ear and back into its cradle. "I didn't think Johnny had his phone with him."
As he places the phone back down, he glances a little off to the side, gazing upon a tiny silver object. How it ended up Ray's possession, Robert will never know. But by the neko's reaction regarding the key it's certain that Ray knows what it's purpose is and what will happen to him if Johnny should find him.
So the cowardly Neko decided to let Robert take the fall for him.
The selfish prick.
Ray is probably half way back to China now. One of the pros of living in a remote village no one other than the locals knows where it is. He'll probably hide out there for a week or two. Of course, it all depends on how angry Johnny or Kai are at the moment.
He might be there for the next year.
Robert sighs as he turns away from the small coffee table and glances towards the door. Hopefully the two will be here soon. He quickly glances at the key once again, making sure that it doesn't somehow wonder off when he isn't looking. There is no way he's going to let this key out of his possession.
A cold shiver races down Robert's spine once again. He can't even imagine what Johnny will do to him if he storms in here and the key has gone missing again.
Suddenly, the door to his room slams open, bouncing off the wall behind it, knocking picture frames off the wall.
"The key."
Robert blinks as two very disgruntle teens appear before him. Kai's wrist is hastily bandaged with what appears to be Johnny's bandana. Upon closer inspection he notes that the two are no longer attached to each other. The chain of the handcuffs has been broken, and looks a little chard. What on earth happened?
"Johnny," Robert starts, curious. "What happened?"
"Not now," Johnny replies sharply, his eyebrow still twitching far more violently than it was earlier today. "The key. Now."
"Um, certainly," Robert says as he walks over to the coffee table and picks up a small silver key, handing straight to the irate Scotsman. "Here."
Johnny snatches the tiny key from Robert's grip and immediately starts on the handcuffs. He manages to surprise Kai immensely for the umpteenth time that day when he unlocks the cuff around hiss wrist first. Kai slips his wrist out of the silver mental and rubs it tenderly with his other hand, wincing when a sharp pain shoots up his arm. He wraps his fingers around the material on his wrist, silently hoping that he didn't reopen any wounds.
Dropping the handcuffs to the floor with a loud thunk, Johnny kicks them away, happy to finally be rid of the foul object. "He'll pay for this," he curses, mentally thinking of ways to get his revenge.
The ever intelligent Robert wisely stays silent in the background, watching with a weary gaze as Johnny inwardly fumes, his body bristling with the need of vengeance. Turning his gaze to the other teen in the room, Robert gaze turns to that of concern when he realizes that Kai is holding his wrist tenderly against his chest within his other hand.
"That looks terribly painful," Robert comment, discreetly motioning to Kai's wrist. "You need to have that looked at."
"It'll be ok," Kai tries to assure the nobleman with his words, but they prove invalid due to the wince on his face.
"I'll look at it," Johnny says suddenly.
Kai almost reels back in surprise and Robert looks at his teammate with bewilderment before his expression fades into that of understanding. "There's a first aid kit in the bathroom."
Johnny nods and carefully takes Kai's injured hand in his and leads him towards the bathroom, both of them missing the knowing smile on Robert's lips as he watches the two leave.
"It's about time," he muses quietly to himself.
Leaning against the sink, Kai sighs as Johnny rummages around for the first aid kit. He soon gets his hands on it and places the box on the sink next to Kai. He pulls out a soothing antiseptic cream, and carefully takes Kai's bruised, bloodied and swollen wrist in his much larger hand. He removes the blood soak material of his bandanna slowly and carefully, as not to agitate the injury further. As he applies the cream, he hears an almost inaudible hiss of pain escape pass Kai's lips.
"Sorry," Johnny says when he sees Kai wince yet again.
"Not your fault," Kai is quick to reply. He then sighs and wearily runs a hand over his tattooed cheeks. "What was he thinking?"
"Thinking?" Johnny asks cynically. "He doesn't think."
A force smile appears on Kai's lips. "No kidding. I wonder if all this pain is worth anything."
"About two months worth of solid training," Johnny mutters as he carefully wraps a white bandage around Kai's delicate wrist. "If not more."
"That's not what I meant."
Snapping his head up, Johnny stares at Kai, giving him his full attention. "What do you mean?"
"Us," Kai sighs, a light dusting of red dancing across his sharp features as he looks in the opposite direction, removing his wrist from Johnny's grip. "Maybe we do tend to argue to much. It gets tiresome, sometimes."
"Yeah," Johnny mutters as he scratches the back of his neck and leans against the sink. "I guess it does, doesn't it?"
"I don't hate you," Kai continues to speak softly. "You annoy me sometimes, I won't sugarcoat that, but everyone does at some point in time."
"I know what you mean," Johnny mutters, crossing his arms over his chest and closing his eyes. "I like fighting with you, in a morbid sense," he suddenly smirks. "You're amusing when your frustrated."
Kai mutters a small indignant noise as he snaps his attention to the Scotsman, a frown on his lips, but the blush still present. "Come again?"
Peering through one eye, Johnny's smirk widens as he pushes away from the sink and step closer to Kai. He likes the way Kai's nose would wrinkle in annoyance whenever the two of them would getting into a verbal sparring match. He especially loves the way Kai would bristle indignantly and flush darkly when he receives a comment about his appearance or feminine figure. They annoy him to no end.
"You look…" Johnny pauses as he tries to find the right word, then shrugs carelessly. "cute when you're angry."
He then smirks when Kai bristles and his blush darkens. Just the response he was hoping for.
"I'm not cute!" Kai protests, pouting when he notices humor dancing around in Johnny's purple eyes. There's humor, but there is also something else. Something raw, and dare say, passionate?
For a long while the two teens just stare at each other in silence, their eyes shimmering with a foreign emotion neither of the two have experienced before in their lives.
Kai doesn't realize how close to each other they are until Johnny's mouth suddenly comes down to claim his in an incredibly tender kiss, his eyes closing upon reflex. It's a long kiss of exploration and for all it's tenderness, Kai knows there is a great deal of passion lurking just beneath the surface, and he knows that Johnny can feel it too.
A soft mew of pleasure escapes from Kai's throat when Johnny wraps his arms tightly around his waist, pulling him flush against his tall, hard frame. Slipping his hands up Johnny's bare arms, Kai snakes his lithe arms around his neck, the fingers on his uninjured hand playing with the red strands of his hair.
Johnny suddenly tilts his head to the side and deepens the kiss, prompting Kai to cling to him as he legs give out from under him. With his heart thumbing loudly in his chest, Kai knows the need for air is reaching critical, but neither of the two feisty teens want the kiss to end.
Breaking the kiss sharply, Kai turns his face away as he breathes deeply, bringing much needed air back into his lungs. Panting lightly, Kai turns back to the Scotsman and immediately his eyebrow twitches when he sees the smug look on his face.
"Get that grin off your face," Kai orders as he gives Johnny a light smack upside the head.
Johnny simply laughs, but does not try to remove his arms from Kai's waist, instead pulling the blushing teen closer. "When Tyson thought of this plan, I'm pretty sure this isn't what he had in mind."
Keeping his eyes downward to will away the blush from his cheeks, Kai traces imaginary patterns on Johnny's chest with his fingers. "Things don't always go to plan," he replies.
"That's true," Johnny smirks as he slips a finger under Kai's chin, forcing him to look directly at him.
Before either of the two can understand what's happening, they find themselves kissing once again. This kiss far more passionate than the last. Wasting no time, Johnny pries Kai's lips apart with his tongue before slipping past the serrated row of his teeth and exploring the warm velvet interior inside.
Moaning into the kiss, Kai slips his arms around Johnny's neck again, moving his tongue over his. Soon, a battle of dominance begins between them, their tongues moving heatedly over the others, drawing moans from the both of them.
Pulling back a fraction, they gasp for air only to lean forward a moment later to initiate another kiss. And then another. And another.
With Kai now sitting on the bathroom sink, and with Johnny in between his legs, who's hands are now wandering under his shirt, the two continue to trade passionate kisses. They desperately cling to each other, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings.
Only a soft knock at the door alerts the two back to reality.
"Is everything alright in there?" Robert asks through the door.
"Fine," Johnny answers him quickly, turning his head away from Kai but keeping him against the sink. "Be out in a sec."
The blush returns to Kai's cheeks when he realizes that they sorta, kinda got carried away in the moment. But damn, who knew Johnny could kiss like that?
Johnny turns back to Kai, eyeing his swollen lips almost proudly. "Want to get some revenge against Tyson?" he suddenly asks.
Kai peers at him through his stormy gray veil of hair. "Of course. We'll hit him where it hurts the most."
"What do you have in mind?"
Yay, they're finally together. Next chapter: Revenge!
