A super quick update? Chapter ten? Wow, bet no one expected that one. Anyway, I slept for fourteen hours for lack of anything better to do, before realizing I had a story I could work on. (I have three but I switch between them). Haha, well here's chapter ten and I'm sorry for having Rei treating Lee so badly! D: I was feeling bad for him.

This chapter focuses more on Rei and Lee for those who were also feeling bad for the boy! Hope you enjoy and drop a quick review if you can to tell me what you think :D

Chapter Ten

"I'll see you tomorrow." Rei mumbled against warm lips and Kai sighed, kissing him again before pulling back as the elevator opened.

"Goodnight Rei." He said and Rei smiled, waving his fingers before going down to the lobby.

The day had gone by easily, the only stress being the constant reminder of how bad of a friend he was being. It got to the point where he would look at the picture on his desk of him and Lee and feel it was accusing him of being horrible. He felt bad. He had loved last night so much, and even that morning, but then he'd remembered Lee. And he felt sick to his stomach.

He picked up a pizza for them for supper, also stopping by the movie rental place to pick up two movies for them to watch. Rei wanted to talk to Lee, to really sit down and talk with his best friend and get it all sorted. Hating how he had treated him lately, he felt his stomach twist as he went up the stairs to their apartment and unlocked the door.

"Lee I-" Rei was saying as he walked into the apartment, only to be hit by the stench of alcohol.

Almost coughing, Rei walked in a little further, looking around. The place was a total mess. The TV was on with sports, the sound system was blaring weird music Rei couldn't recognize, there were bottles everywhere and other garbage. Broken glass from obviously a cup was all over the tile of the kitchen, the sink had a few dishes in it and the only light was from a lamp in the corner.

"Oh Lee." Rei whispered as he set the pizza box down on the counter, clearing a bit of space. He turned off the music, turning down the TV and turning on another lamp to give the room more light, only light up more of the horrible mess.

A moment later the bathroom door swung open and Lee stumbled out, brushing hair from his eyes and looking up. He seemed startled to see Rei before narrowing his eyes.

"Look who showed up." Lee muttered, his voice a sick slur as he curled his fingers. "Kai too busy to fuck you tonight?"

"Lee!" Rei exclaimed, surprised by his words. "Look I-"

"I cooked supper last night. Pasta and chicken. I wanted to...apologize." Lee slurred and stumbled forward to him, having Rei grasp his arm before he tripped. He looked into Rei's golden eyes, looking truly hurt. "And you didn't show up."

"Lee I feel terrible." Rei whispered and Lee scoffed.

"Yeah, terrible." He muttered and pulled away from him, walking over to the couch and plopping down. "I never...you know how many years it's been? I just...I knew you loved him. I knew that." Lee sadly grabbed a bottle of beer, taking a sip and nursing it close. "I always w-wished you'd just...forget him."

Rei bit his lower lip and looked down, before walking over to his friend. Lee looked up and Rei sat beside him, sighing heavily. Lee watched him as Rei leaned over him, pressing his lips to his forehead and lingering there for a long time. When he pulled back there was a tear rolling down Lee's cheek and he sighed shakily.

"I'm sorry." Rei whispered, and Lee nodded slowly. "I used you and-"

"Rei don't say it." Lee mumbled, taking another sip of beer. "I was happy to be there for you."

Rei sighed and leaned into Lee's side, resting his chin on his shoulder. Lee rested his head on Rei's, staring forward at nothing. He took Rei's hand and squeezed it, feeling the reassuring squeeze in return.

"I spent my rent money on beer." Lee admitted and Rei laughed softly.

"I'll pay the rent this month. It's fine, I feel bad." Rei mumbled and Lee looked at his beer bottle.

"Did you have fun?" Lee whispered and Rei swallowed, closing his eyes. "I just...want you to be happy Rei."

"I am." Rei whispered, feeling tears thicken his throat. Lee swallowed thickly, taking a deep breath and nodding.

"Well I should clean this-" Lee had said as he got up, groaning and gripping the couch for stability.

"Don't worry about it Lee, you go to bed. It won't take me long." Rei said, standing up and helping his friend to his room. Papers were everywhere, and Lee looked around.

"I have a paper due in two days." He mumbled and Rei chuckled. "And I didn't go to class today."

"Just start it tomorrow." Rei murmured as he helped Lee get into his bed.

His friend reached over, past Rei to pick up a knocked over picture of them, looking at it for a few long moments before pulling his hand back and relaxing into his bed. Rei watched his best friend close his eyes, sighing through his lips and drifting into sleep almost immediately. Rei looked around before grabbing a few of the cans and mugs around the room to bring them out to the kitchen, closing Lee's door.

Rei cleaned for the following hour and a half. He put all the empty cans and bottles into a big trash bag, tying it once they were all in there and placing it by the door. He then collected all the trash, then did the dishes; putting the pizza in the fridge. Putting the movies by the TV to watch, he vowed to spend time with Lee; he cleaned up the broken glass and other various spills before straightening up the furniture and finally heading to bed. Yawning once he was finished, he turned off the TV and crawled into bed, wearing his underwear and Kai's button down shirt. Snuggling into bed, he closed his eyes and thought of Kai before finally drifting into sleep.

~~~The Next Day~~~

Lee,
I cleaned everything up last night, don't worry about rent I'll pay it today. Pizza in the fridge. Hope I'm forgiven, see you tonight.
-Rei

Rei left the note on the table, grabbing his jacket and pulling it on over his long sleeved black and grey shirt, hanging a little off his right shoulder. He wore black pants with it, shaping that made his legs look slightly more longer than they actually were. He had taken the time that morning to actually dry his hair with a blow dryer, something he very rarely put time into, and had it all twisted and tied up to the back of his head. Keeping real to his Chinese culture, sigh, he had two chopsticks slipped into his hair, holding it perfectly into place. Something Mariah had taught him as a kid.

Walking into work, people greeted him all around; people he didn't recognize. He wasn't late, and there were people around like usual, but usually they just disregarded him as he passed. Kyla smiled at him before he got into the elevator, going to the staff room to get Kai's coffee and a mug of tea for himself. He brought both up to the top level. He set his own tea down on his desk, pressing the power button on his computer then walking to Kai's office. He knocked before opening the door, blinking in surprise to see a man leaning against Kai's desk and laughing. Kai was smirking and looked at Rei, crimson eyes admiring his lover's appearance before he said something in Russian to the man.

"And who do we have here Kai?" The man said in a thick Russian accent. "A pretty little thing like you can't be working for Hiwatari."

Rei laughed softly, setting Kai's coffee on his desk and giving a small bow to the man.

"Rei Kon sir, and yes I do. I'm his personal secretary." Rei answered and the man took his hand, smiling and kissing it.

"Well, a pleasure." He said and Rei blushed. "My name is Richard Morel." He introduced himself and Rei smiled politely.

Kai took a sip of his coffee and looked at Rei who glanced at him, golden eyes saying his good morning to the Russian. Kai seemed pleased at this, waving him off to go to work as he continued his conversation with Richard. Rei went back to his desk, taking a seat in his chair and typing in his password to log into the computer. He started by reading a recent email, humming over the information and dating a meeting for later that month on his whiteboard calendar. By about lunch Richard hadn't left yet, and Rei was bored having finished replying to all the emails sent to him. No phone calls were coming in, so he bit his lip then dialled in a familiar cell number.

"Hello?" Lee's voice came through the phone. Rei smiled and relaxed in his chair a bit.

"Hey Lee." He greeted his friend, hearing many other people in the background.

"Rei? Oh hey, what's up?" Lee said, and Rei knew he was walking through campus towards another class.

"Nothing, work is boring." Rei said and Lee chuckled at him. "I was wondering if you wanted to watch those movies I rented tonight." Rei bit his lower lip and waited for Lee to answer, looking at the picture of them.

"Yeah, sure that'd be good." Lee said and Rei could hear the appreciative smile through the phone. Things would get better, and Rei was glad to have his friend back. He realized that Kai couldn't be everything, and Lee was always going to be another important part in his life.

"I'm glad. I'll be home after work, cold pizza for supper sound okay?" He said and they both laughed.

"Yeah, sounds delicious. See you at home." Lee said and Rei smiled, saying his goodbye ad hanging up.

Just as he did, Richard Morel walked out of Kai's office and Rei sat up straight, focusing on the computer as he listened to his footsteps near. He looked up when Richard walked in front of him and smiled.

"Have a good day." He said to the man and Richard grinned.

"Ah thank you darling." Richard said before stepping into the elevator.

Rei waited until he was gone before getting up and walking down to Kai's office. He knocked gently, hearing Kai invite him in before walking into the big office. Stepping in, he looked at Kai who took a drink of cold coffee.

"I can get you another coffee." Rei said and turned to get one for his boss.

"No, Rei it's fine." Kai murmured and Rei turned, looking at the older male.

Kai looked a little tired and Rei sighed softly, walking forward. He moved behind Kai and leaned over him, pressing the button on the computer screen to turn it off.

"Rei-" Kai objected but Rei grabbed his hands, lacing their fingers and gently but firmly resting them on the desk.

He placed his hands on Kai's shoulders and began to massage him slowly, pressing his thumbs into Kai's muscles and massaging out the knots that always formed for Kai. He worked so hard. Kai sighed and Rei watched him visibly relax, closing his eyes and leaning forward. Rei smiled as he rubbed his neck, for a long time just to relax the male. After about ten minutes had passed Kai grabbed his hands and pulled them forward, kissing his fingers softly. Rei smiled ad leaned over him, nuzzling his neck. Kai turned his head and kissed his neck.

"My place tonight?" He mumbled and Rei chuckled softly.

"I can't tonight." He murmured and Kai raised his eyebrows. Rei smiled at him. "I promise Lee we could watch a couple movies and have cold pizza."

Rei could tell Kai understood, that he needed to be a good friend to Lee. He turned Kai's chair and kissed him, and smiled against his lips.

"Why don't we have lunch?" Rei said and Kai sighed against his lips.

"I have lots of work to do Rei." Kai murmured and Rei pouted but nodded.

"Alright." He said softly.

Kai brushed his hair from his face and gave a small smile, the smile he saved solely for Rei. Rei felt his heart flutter and as he walked out of Kai's office to go to lunch he was thinking about how lucky he really was.

Well there was chapter ten. I know Lee was in a bit of a...rough spot. But the two are better now right? Which is good! So yeah, I hope you enjoyed! I'll update when I have time to write another chapter, who knows it could be today and it could be tomorrow haha.
