Chapter Six: Attracted

This can't really be happening. Of course, I've always had dreams of being kissed by a really cute guy but not like this. Not with my best friend. Sure Brooklyn's a really nice and totally handsome guy and anyone would love being kissed by him but I never thought of him in that way. Sure he has soft lips and the way he's pressing his lips against mine is really gentle and sweet. But NO! I can't! We can't! Quickly I pull away from him and did the very first thing that came to my mind. I slapped him. Hard.

"O-Ow!" he hissed. "You've got some heavy hands for a violinist Rei"

"Y-You idiot! You deserve that" I exclaimed wiping my lips, "Why did you suddenly do that Brook?" Although the answer was really obvious I still needed to ask him. I saw hesitation in his eyes and his face looked really regretful.

"What do you think?" he said in a really low voice, "I love you Rei, I always have. And it's not in the friendly way like you think. Ever since the music competition, I've always found you interesting. I thought it was only admiration; that I only like you for your violin playing. But as time passed and we became best friends, I got to know you better and before I knew what was happening, I was already falling deeply in love with you. I kept my feelings and loved you secretly, deciding I'd rather love you from afar than have our friendship broken because of me"

Wow. That was unexpected and really deep. I knew he loved me but I thought it was only a brotherly kind of love. I never thought he looked at me that way. I always believed his being overprotective of me is because he sees me as his younger brother. What should I tell him? I don't want to hurt him but should I lie?

"But I guess I've finally reached my limit. I thought: it's now or never. When I found out from Uncle Jinnai that you'll be moving back to Japan I immediately suggested him to enroll you to the same school I'm in. At first I thought it'll be alright. I'm proud of my secretive abilities and I'm sure even if we're going to be in one school, you still wouldn't notice"

"Hey are you calling me dense?"

"Rei, I've loved you for four years without you noticing it one bit. And I doubt you'll ever realize it hadn't I confessed to you right now"

"Touché" I roll my eyes. I'm actually just standing by the doorframe listening to his explanation. I nod at him telling him to continue.

"Well, as I was saying, I saw you again, your cheerful smile, your lovely eyes, and boom, all the feelings I've kept suddenly erupted and my heart couldn't take it anymore" he then began fiddling his thumbs. I notice beads of sweat form on his forehead. He must be really nervous right now. Well, who wouldn't be? Confessing your long unrequited love is not an easy thing, even if I haven't really done the act. I just kind of know from seeing movies and just by looking at Brooklyn. He's avoiding my eyes and his breathing is really fast and he constantly gives out a sigh.

Alright, I have to answer him cautiously, I don't want to hurt him but I also don't want to give him false hopes.

"Listen Brook, this is all just too much for me to take. I mean, we've been best friends for years and you suddenly telling me that you've loved me all along, I feel well, kind of, betrayed. I trusted you, you know? I wish you would've told me sooner then maybe we wouldn't be in such an uptight and awkward situation like this. I'm really sorry Brook, but I…I never really saw you anything more than just a friend. I do love you really, I do. I love you with all my heart but not in the same way as you feel for me. I really appreciate you finally telling me all this and I thank you" I cup his hands in my own, "Thank you for loving me for so long" I brightly smile. It's not just a show so that he won't feel down; it's coming from the bottom of my heart. I'm really thankful for having Brooklyn as my best friend. To my relief, the sadness in his eyes faded and his lips finally curved to a full smile. The smile I always loved seeing.

"Well I wasn't actually expecting you to say yes. I already knew from the start how you felt for me. But telling you finally made me feel light. It's like a huge rock has been lifted from me. I hope even after this, everything will still be the same between us Rei. Please, let us stay friends"

"Silly, no matter what happens, we'll always be friends. Best friends."

And with that, I hugged him really tight. The sun peacefully started setting and the skies were tainted with bright orange. I feel really glad. Wait, why do I feel like I forgot something?

Beep! Beep!

Oh my phone, I wonder who it is.

"Yes Hello?"

"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?"

Shit! Kai's really angry now. I better run.

"Sorry!"

-x-

The night's just as cold as ever. Hell, its freezing! No wonder Kai's skin is as white as snow. I'm drinking a mug of hot chocolate in the living room right now. As usual, the other two Russian lords are here. Tala is sitting beside me writing some essay in his laptop, Bryan's raiding the kitchen and Mr. Sourpuss is in the greenhouse doing…whatever it is he's doing.

"This is frustrating" Tala then yawned stretching his long arms

"I know" I slurred, "I'm stuck with you again"

"Hey!"

"Kidding" I blissfully smile

"Mean Kitty" he stuck out his tongue at me then laughed. "Well, for your information, I like these short times when I get to have Kai's pretty Kitty all to myself" He grinned then snatched the mug from me and drank everything in it.

"Excuse me?" I glared

"Yes?"

"Tala that was mine, if you wanted some you should've asked one of the maids to make you one or join your lover massacre the whole kitchen room"

"But your chocolate is so much better Kitty" Tala chuckled then pulled me onto his lap. Since I've been kind of used to it already, I just sighed and allowed him wrap his arms around my waist. I just pray to Gods Bryan won't come out yet to see the position we're in.

"What's this; you're not opposing now Kitty?"

"One, cause it's no use and two, would you cut the Kitty crap?"

"But that's my personal nickname for you Kitty. Only I can call you that"

"Riiiiiiiight, only the great Lord Tala" I rolled my eyes. "Don't you have an essay to finish? Why don't you finish your homework first and we'll cuddle later"

"Nuh-uh, cuddle now, homework later" And Tala tightened his grip around my waist pulling me closer to his chest. Ah, that sweet raspberry cologne again. Now I don't feel like pulling away. Please don't come out just yet Bryan. I slowly lean my head over Tala's chest and stayed there.

"I've been meaning to ask you something Kitty" he then whispered. I tilted my head up enough to see him looking down to meet my gaze,

"What is it?"

"Do you like Kai?"

"What?" I jumped out of Tala's lap, flustering from his question. How can he ask me that? I never even told him I was gay. Did he find out? But I wasn't obvious. No, wait. Why am I panicking? He just asked if I liked Kai. I should just say 'of course not' cause I don't like him…right? At least I don't think so. It can't be. "Why'd you suddenly asked me that?"

"Kitty, don't think I haven't noticed how you stare at Kai when you think he's not looking. And don't even try denying you're gay, cause I know one when I see one honey" Tala raised an exquisite eyebrow and beamed teasingly again resting his head on his palm, crossing one leg over the other. I blushed even more then sighed in defeat. No point in arguing with Tala. I took the seat next to him and gave another groan.

"Was I that obvious?"

He nodded jubilantly.

"But I'm not yet really sure Tal. I mean, I've never really liked someone before, how am I supposed to know? Maybe this is only admiration. Only because I think he's a really cool guy. Maybe that's just it. I don't like him, I'm just attracted to him somehow"

"Aw, you poor Kitty. Where have you been living all this time, under some cave?" Tala said faking a sad face and patting my head. I glared at him. "Easy tiger," he laughed withdrawing his hands, "But you have to be sure Kitty, or someone's gonna get hurt" Huh? Then the front door gently swung open revealing a tired Russian and at the same time, Bryan emerged out of the kitchen.

"Guess that means time to go home" Tala smiled and kissed my cheek before carrying his laptop towards Bryan and kissing him on the lips. He said something to the lilac-haired boy before turning to me and winking. He waved a goodbye at Kai as he passed by the door. The blissful grin never leaving his beautiful face.

When the two were finally gone only Kai and I were left. He was just standing there with Bug on his arms meeting my gaze. Uh, maybe I should greet him? Wait why does he look annoyed? Oh right, that's just his normal facial expression. Sheesh!

"Uh, welcome back" I smiled

"Did Tala tell you something?"

Oh, he's really annoyed. "Uh, no, nothing in particular" I blinked. He then narrowed his eyes furrowing his eyebrows closer than usual. He rubbed the middle of his nose then left for his room. What's up with him tonight? Did I do something wrong? Gah! Forget it, there's no point thinking over it. I'll never figure him out.

-x-

You have to be sure Kitty, or someone will get hurt

Tala's words echo in every corner of my mind. Why'd he say something like that? Who did he mean? Urgh, I'm starting to think Russians are all weird and incomprehensible people. Yet despite that, they're also a bunch of good-looking people. Mhm. What, it's the truth.

I'm in the bath tub right now, soaking my overly stressed out body in the deep hot waters. Oh, I just love Japanese bath, sooo relaxing. The moon's really bright tonight and there are a bunch of stars in the sky.

Do you like Kai?

And I'm drawn back away from my thoughts yet again by Tala's words. I don't know why he suddenly brought that up but it sure startled me. I didn't know the right words to answer. I didn't like Kai but why did it seem like my mouth refused to say it? I even blushed red as a tomato. I'm pathetic. Seriously. Kai's an egoistic, big-headed, self-centered, snobbish, selfish, heartless bastard and the list goes on. I can't think of any reason on why I would like him, I mean he's on the top of my hate list! He's irritating, always gets on my nerves, a moving mocking machine, gorgeous, well-built, has pretty eyes, a lovely smirk, and oh my god what the hell am I talking about? The steam must be getting in my head. I'm babbling non-sense.

"Ya think?" a voice suddenly almost made me jump out of the water in surprise. And what the hell? Kai's leaning by the doorframe of my bathroom smirking like hell with his arms crossed over his chest. I felt my blood run up my body and to my whole face. Embarrassed, I quickly sank my body deeper on the water making sure Mr. Sourpuss won't see anything. Please, don't let him see anything!

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" I fumed

"Did you count the doors before going in your room?" Kai smirked

"W-What?"

"Sorry, but you're in my room, in my bath tub and using my shampoo"

Oh so that's why it smelled different.

"What in the world are you talking about? You went to your room, I saw you!"

"This is why i keep telling you to count the doors before going in. First door is the study room, second one's mine and third one's yours" Kai muttered, "Hurry up and finish what you're doing and check for yourself, smartass"

"I will so would you just leave?" I blushed and he mocking saluted before closing the door behind him.

I quickly rinsed myself in the shower and wore the white robe hanging by the door. I wrapped another towel on my hair and went out. Kai was sitting on the bed still smirking. What an ass. I hissed before leaving the room. I looked around then saw that Kai was indeed right. Oh my god I entered his room by mistake!

"See?"

"But you came up before me and I saw you enter a room"

"Study room" he rolled his eyes pointing a finger on the door before his

"God, I'm sorry" I apologized shyly and bowed

"If you wanted to be with me so much you should've just asked" he grinned holding my chin up to face him. Wow, I never got a close look at his eyes. They're brilliant. Wait, I shouldn't be fantasizing about his goddamn eyes! I slapped his hand away.

"Jerk!" I screeched before storming back to my room and slamming the door behind me. When I got inside, I slid on my back flushing furiously. What an embarrassing thing to happen! Wait, did I say those things loudly? How long was he standing there? Oh my god, did he hear?

"By the way, thanks for thinking I have pretty eyes"

And that answers it. Oh yeah, he fucking did hear them. Gaaaaaaah!

"Go to hell!" I screamed then dived to my bed. I wish I can just crawl in a hole and die.

Urgh, I hate him!

Wait, did I just hear him laugh?


Yep, for the first time in his stay in the Hiwatari mansion, Rei heard Kai laughed. And he wasn't the only one surprised, both the servants and Keisha were shocked.
