Chapter 6 – Dear Diary

Tyson's POV

Dear Diary,

I've never thought I'd see the day when Kai would be dominated by anyone. You know how he is; one glare could have been enough to scare the bravest enemy that could have ever crossed his path. Boy was I wrong! About an hour ago I was wondered to the kitchen to fetch something to eat; you know me growing up requires a lot of energy. I heard two people talking in hushed tones. The door was partially closed and being the curious boy I am while at the same time not wanting to disturb anyone, I peeped in without making the sightless noise.

From where I stood I could clearly see Kai's and Rei's profile who were facing each other; Kai in his signature pose slightly resting against the table while Rei in the same casual position but resting against the counter. I couldn't make out what they were saying but Kai must have said something which triggered a reaction out of the other boy for the neko-jin's eyes narrowed and in less than a heartbeat he had Kai hoisted in a sitting position on the table while he got himself comfortable in between our captains' legs and was proceeding to ravish him. I continued to watch fascinated at the way in which our resident cat who seemed the submissive type (Note to self: change perspective about the two seniors of our group) had successfully shut Kai up and reduced him to a moaning heap.

Rei's hands were roaming Kai's body, burying themselves in Kai's hair, slipping under his shirt and caressing his thighs to settle themselves around his back where he supported Kai's back as he leaned further onto Kai. After the initial shock Kai's hands started to slide upwards and I started to think the worse. Surely he would push Rei away and proceed to hurt him badly for having ever dared to invade his personal space and hey I started to move forward because I care for my friends' life but right then, Kai proved me wrong yet again. His hands wound up around, dare I say it then, his koi's neck and brought them yet closer together if that was even possible. Call me a pervert but I felt glued to the spot and couldn't take my eyes off of them!

Their lips moved in deep synchrony against each other probing and searching and it seemed as if Rei was actually exploring his new territory. I swear, I've never thought that I'll be able to see Kai like this, totally lost in the moment that he wasn't aware of his surroundings. Usually he would have known that I was there but … I think I'm still under shock.

After a good fifteen minutes of intense kissing on their part and staring on my part, they broke apart. Apparently oxygen became a priority for they were both breathing heavily after having starved their lungs.

The looks they were giving each other made it more realistic for me to believe that that kiss really took place and wasn't just fruit of my imagination. Rei was eying Kai hungrily the way that a predator looks at its prey before pouncing. His eyes roamed over the others' body occasionally lingering on the swollen lips and finally locking themselves with those of Kai's. Kai looked bewildered to say at least. The look he was giving was one of shock to have responded to the others' kiss like that, with abandon, and one couldn't fail to notice the look of panic on his face. Regardless you could also see lust and happiness he was directing at Rei.

None of them moved. Kai's hands had slipped from around Rei's neck and were resting in his lap. He was looking up to Rei from where he sat and then said something else to which Rei nodded and replied. Then to yet my utmost surprise Kai made the first move towards human contact and reached for Rei's hands, looked at the way they joined together and looked back up to his new found lover who pulled him near for a hug and a peck on the lips.

Not wanting to eavesdrop on them more than I had already I made my way back to my room to write this big event in my diary. We should declare today as a national holiday, the day in which Kai let somebody near him when he was totally conscious of what he was doing. I don't think that Max and Kenny would believe me if I tell them what happened, or maybe not because they were well aware of Rei's attraction towards our captain.

Your friend,

Tyson

Kai's POV

Dear Diary,

Earlier today I went for my 'usual' walk to escape from the dumb trio that Rei left me in the kitchen with. It felt like ages since I did this last. Rei was nowhere to be seen; knowing him he probably when to catch up on sleep seeing as I disturbed his night. It took me three hours to return back to the dojo and I came back this early because it seemed about to rain. I didn't want to catch a cold and have Rei pinning on me for the whole week because I caught a cold… or maybe not seeing that I acted like a jerk earlier on. To avoid the others and their stupid questions, I entered from the back door which leads to the kitchen and to my surprise Rei was there leaning against the counter sipping something from his mug, most likely for it to be green tea.

"I was coming to look for you" he said and it was then that I noticed that on the bench top there was an umbrella.

"Hn. I'm capable to look after myself." I replied. Rei looked taken aback by the tone I used and I admit that I was sorry for using it. After all he was the one who looked after me when I was incapable of doing so myself. At that moment it dawned to me that I haven't yet thanked Rei for his time and attention. "I … I wanted to thank you … for … you know …"

"It's ok Kai. I hope that in the last few days you had gotten over the fact that who asks for help isn't weak".

I was baffled. He was seeing right through me and understood one of the reasons why I had never asked help. But I couldn't promise something that big, I wasn't sure if I could keep that promise. "I can't promise that which I know I'll never be able to keep. My upbringing in the abbey saw to it. I should never ask for help, never need anyone else to stand by me and what needs to be done I should be able to do by myself. You can never rely on others to do what you cannot do. They'll just let you down. Why would you care anyway?" I asked arrogantly with maybe just a little hint of curiosity lacing my voice. This conversation was making me feel uncomfortable and I wanted to just be alone. Even Rei was making me feel on edge. It's already bad that I'm warming up to Rei. He managed to weed his way in my heart.

I swear I didn't see it coming, his eyes changed and the next thing I knew was that I was sitting on the table and he was kissing me, hands roaming all over. I didn't know what to do at first but then having half processed what was happening in my mind, I responded to the kiss. I don't exactly know how to express myself and why I actually responded but I was compelled to. I'm not very good with describing my emotions but it felt wonderful and I felt whole and loved; like I mattered to someone. Even just thinking about it I can feel my heart beating faster and my cheeks growing hot. Just like a school girl with a crush.

Rei pulled back a little though I could see that he was still hungry for more. That much was visible in his eyes and then it hit me, this was why Rei cared so much. He felt something deeper than just friendship.

I was somewhat afraid. My mind felt numb with foreign feelings and questions of how and why where threating to spill from my lips.

"Where does this take us?" I asked him still a bit breathless. Rei just looked at me affectionately and said that it was up to me to decide what I wanted it to be. Seemed as if he didn't want to scare me and I don't blame him for I'm very skittish with my emotions. What if something happens? I have very few friends as it is and I don't want to lose them just because I made the wrong decision, especially Rei.

"Don't you think that I'm too weak?" I whispered not really wanting to hear the answer seeing as to how I acted this past week. Rei started smiling. I will never forget the words he uttered next.

"Not weak, you are many things but not weak. You are the strongest blader in our team; the one all the team looks up to. Many times I wonder how you do it to keep us in line when we do nothing but invent trouble at every chance we get. You encourage us and we trust you. We always turn to you when we have a problem because you know how to listen and give good advice. You are our friend Kai. We wouldn't rely on you this much you if we thought you were weak." His words left me floored and speechless.

Then on a whim I took his hand in mine, they fit perfectly, and when I looked at him he seemed to understand that I was willing take the plunge.

He pulled me in for a hug and a peck on the lips and I realized that I had been accepted by someone for who I really was and not because of my potential to become something; a tool for others to use. To my embarrassment, tears started to leak from the corners of my eyes and I looked away from Rei in shame burying my face in his shirt in the process to prevent him from seeing me crying yet again. Rei must have realized what was happening for to my amazement he picked me up, carried me to the sofa, sat down and plopped his feet up with me in his lap all the while hugging me tighter.

He pulled me away a bit, just enough for him to see my face, made me look at him, kissed the trail which my tears left behind and said "Everything will be fine, you'll see". After that I was awarded with one of his dazzling smiles. I felt like a little child who had been given the key to a room full of sweets and as content as I'll ever be I settled back in his embrace feeling secured. To my joy he didn't let go but just held me tighter.
