A/N: Oh... hey new story...

This is a collab piece with the little pain in my ass that is xflightofthephoenix.

Needed some more Kai and Tala in my life so after a lengthy discussion this little beaut was born.

We don't each play set characters as such, we kinda mix it up.

(In other words when one of them is being majorly fluffy and feelingsy, that's all her, and when they're being a bit of a dick, thas me.) XD

But don't worry, I reign her in often so we aren't choking on constant fur balls throughout.

Anyhoo, we'll be updating this every 2 weeks, and there's 13 chapters in total.

No warnings really to mention? We got male on male action at times (and actually in the first scene, hehe) so if you ain't into that I'd press the back space.

If anything else comes up later on I'll be sure to mention it in the notes up top.

But til then, as always - enjoy.

K~

Blurred Lines

Chapter 1 - Trouble In Paradise

A trickle of sweat ran down the hardworking back above as strong lean hips drove relentlessly into him, both their throats gone dry with the pants and grunts that had escaped them adding to the other sounds of passion that currently filled the bedroom.

Crimson eyes were heavy with lust as they stared up at dishevelled red hair hovering over that had stuck to flushed skin.

He loved nothing more than seeing him like this.

"T-Tala..."

And the other loved nothing more than hearing Kai moan his name like that.

At the praise Tala grabbed at the fair thighs around him and pulled the lean body in closer to thrust deeper, causing another moan to pour from below as Kai's sweet spot was assaulted over and over.

"Fuck, Kai..." he breathed into his ear as the tight muscles clamped round him like a vice.

He was in heaven. Though he always felt like he was when they were like this. In this setting. Whether he was inside Kai, or Kai was in him, it was utter bliss.

When the two old team mates crossed this line neither could remember, nor did they care to. All they knew was that whilst they were connected like this. Life was good.

Another moan escaped from below as Kai grabbed at Tala's shoulders, his fingernails raking across the ivory skin with his breath hitching in his throat every time the hips snapped forward.

With a drawn out groan Tala tipped his head back as he started to thrust into him more forcefully, adoring the way he didn't have to hold back with the other man. Lithe legs wrapping tighter around his waist, pulling him deeper; he couldn't contain the gravelly exhalation as his head dropped back forward.

At the increased pace, Kai's arms flopped though gripped at the pillow under his head as he let loose a breathy:

"Don't stop..."

At that the male above grit his teeth and growled as another wave of pleasure pushed him dangerously close to the edge.

"Fuck!"

Not a chance in hell did he plan on stopping. Not until he'd heard that all too familiar sound pour from Kai's lips when his orgasm finally hit.

And from the way his teeth had just sunk into his lower lip, Tala knew he wouldn't be waiting much longer...

His hips continued to ferociously move, the sound of skin slapping on skin blending perfectly with the rhythmic creak of the bed and several hard thrusts later the noise he'd craved finally made it to his ears.

Kai's entire body had tensed and shook as his climax took over, the extra tightness causing the other to also be overwhelmed with pleasure and another moaned out expletive ricocheted off the walls.

Riding out the high, the movements slowed before becoming sloppy and then ceasing completely. Tala's body falling limp on him as the two basked in the post sex glow, dripping in sweat and panting to catch their breaths.

They remained laying together for a long moment, Tala's cheek pressed against Kai's neck, his warm breath raising goosebumps on his skin. He let a contented sigh escape him and he'd felt the redhead smile against his shoulder.

He shifted some which caused Tala to ease himself off and flop down beside him, eyes still currently closed with his breaths steadying now.

After a moment he lazily prized them open and turned to gaze over at Kai and a small smile graced his lips. Given the chance he could lay like this forever...

He saw the eyes beside him then flicker open and stare up at the ceiling, seemingly content on cloud nine as a comfortable silence veiled the room.

Pushing himself up on to his side a frown then crossed Tala's features as Kai pushed himself up and swung his legs off the edge of the bed.

This scene wasn't uncommon but the rebuttal was never any easier.

He watched him drag his gaze around the room, pale hands running through sweat-damp slate locks as Kai looked for hastily discarded clothes.

Pulling on his boxers, he stood, collecting his clothing and dressing.

Tala huffed a sigh and let his eyebrows furrow even more.

"You know you don't have to just up and run as soon as we get done, y'know."

The feeling currently sitting within the redhead was a familiar one too. A mere few minutes ago whilst drowning in intimacy he was made to feel like the other male's everything as his hands caressed and gripped hold of him but in an instant, like the rug had been pulled from beneath him, he was back to being reminded what they really were to each other. – Nothing.

"Is that so?" Kai commented, his voice light as he collected his keys from the dresser against the wall, focus flicking to the other briefly.

The expression on his face was one Kai wasn't familiar with, the intensity pausing him as he reached for the door. It made his insides twist uncomfortably at the thought of what he might be feeling right now. A feeling he'd perhaps felt once before himself.

"I'm not running," he muttered, the statement at war with his actions as he pulled open the bedroom door to leave.

"I've just got shit to do," he tossed over with a nonchalant shrug.

Tala sat himself more upright and covered himself with the sheets, raising an unconvinced eyebrow at the other male's usual vagueness.

"Coulda fooled me," he sent back in a sharp tone. "You can't get out of here quick enough, Kai."

Scoffing at the remark Kai's eyes narrowed.

Really? He wanted to do this right now? Why did they always have to bicker like this nowadays?!

"What do you want, a cuddle?" he snipped, tone as sharp as his gaze as he let his focus linger on him.

Tala's hardened expression faltered some, taken back.

Yes. Actually. He did. Would love nothing more than to have those strong arms that had just been wrapped around his shoulders to just hold him as he snuggled into his broad chest.

But he wasn't going to let this asshole know that.

"I-well... I mean- Obviously not, ain't like your my boyfriend or anything ridiculous, but, you still don't have to just up and leave like you just got done with a one night stand!"

Toned arms crossed over his chest as Kai shifted his weight lazily. Rolling his eyes at the dramatics he snorted a laugh.

"Well this is definitely the longest one night stand I ever knew."

Sneering an 'I don't have time for this,' he saved the redhead a glance before placing his hand back on the door handle, pulled it open and stormed out.

Straightening up his clothes some Kai took himself down the stairs when he locked on a head of grey hair slumped on the couch in the living room.

Shit, when did he get here?

Seeing movement in his peripheral vision Bryan glanced up from his phone and in his civility acknowledged the other male with his usual greeting.

"Hiwatari."

"Hn." Was the response, as was the norm, before jingling car keys made it to the front door and was promptly closed behind him.

Bryan sighed through his nose. At least they were done. Was awkward as hell having to listen to all that upstairs.

Guess that's what he got for deciding on dropping by his old captain's place unexpected.

He had debated on walking back out and coming back another time but having heard the little spat between them just now he was actually glad he'd stayed.

Tala had told him some time ago that he and the brat were fooling around and that was about as much info as he'd divulged. Was just casual. No feelings, was just sex. Tala was fine with the arrangement apparently, however hearing his raised voice just now Bryan begged to differ...

Having disposed of the condom and yanked grey sweats up his legs to settle on slim hips, Tala flung his door open when he heard the front door open and close. He internally chuntered away to himself as he stomped down the stairs and being so engrossed in his anger the presence in the living room went unnoticed.

It was a rare occurrence to catch Tala unaware, and even more so to have the time to observe, and Bryan shamelessly took advantage of the moment to see the redhead so unguarded as he sloppily poured himself a glass of vodka.

He took a sip. The burning in his throat nothing compared to the burning in his chest and exhaled a quiet sigh in frustration. Scrubbing a pale hand over his face, he shoved off from his position leant at the counter and finally noticed the friendly intruder in his home reclined on his couch and greeted him with a gasp.

"Jesus fuck!"

At the warm welcome a crooked grin spread on Bryan's face.

Yeah. He usually had that affect on people.

"Captain," he leisurely responded with a nod of his head, focus following the other as he slumped down into a seat on the couch opposite him.

"I'm starting to regret giving you a spare key..." he muttered, taking another sip at his drink to now calm his nerves.

Bryan chuckled some before waving him off.

"Don't act like you ain't pleased to see me," he teased before gesturing to the glass of clear liquid in his hand.

"That bad of a lay huh? Figured with all the experience you two have you'd at least be having a decent time by now. Sounded like you were from here."

The redhead's eyes widened and a noncommittal sound stayed in his throat, sipping at his drink once more to gain a few precious seconds before answering.

"Wait, how long have you actually been here?"

The grin opposite cracked wider, "Long enough to know next time I'll call first."

Tala snorted and sent an echoed "Fucks sake..." into his glass, taking a larger swig and in turn finishing it off.

"Sincerest apologies..." he sheepishly offered, a smirk on his own face now as he stood up from his seat, stepped back to the kitchen for a refill and to get the other male a beverage too.

"Eh," came a nonchalant shrug of broad shoulders, "It's not like you've never had to deal with my deviance back when we were teens." Bryan reminisced, a feral smirk spreading across his lips as he accepted the offered glass of vodka.

"Though, judging by the little disagreement I also had the pleasure of overhearing, all isn't quite as rosy as I believed," he paused, sipping his vodka and savouring the taste.

"Trouble in paradise?"

Whilst he knew he was prying it wasn't coming from a place of malice but more of concern.

Bryan couldn't say he was exactly thrilled for Tala when he'd filled him in that he and Kai had crossed this line, though he also couldn't say he was overly surprised of the fact either.

Whilst he wasn't the most observant one of the group, due to simply not giving a damn of other people's affairs, he'd seen this one coming a mile off. The way Tala had always looked at him for one. Wasn't uncommon for the wolf to stare another down like a piece of meat but he'd noticed the hunger in his icy eyes seemed a tad more famished when gazing at Kai...

A low hum sat in the redhead's throat. He really wished Bryan hadn't heard that. Though, was inevitable really, he hadn't exactly made any attempt at keeping his voice down.

It was no secret that even to this day Bryan held very little love for Kai. Hell, Tala had always been open and honest of his own opinions too. He thought Kai was a prick. But then again so did everyone. That's why it was still a shock that the brat was still hanging round them.

Back in the blading days Tala had ordered his team to tolerate him for the sake of the championships and assured them that once it was all over that would be that. Though the more the redhead had trained with the other male, saw him flushed in the heat of battle, chest panting out of breath and dripping in sweat, his interest in him had more than piqued.

Bryan didn't understand it personally, but knowing Tala as he did there was no telling him otherwise. He'd joked to him many a time that he was going to have Kai facing in every direction and have his wicked way with him just as he'd had with so many before; but it was all just banter. Male locker room talk. Neither men believed it would actually happen.

Boy were they both surprised when it actually did.

"Pft. Nah. Was nothing," Tala settled on, casually waving the male opposite off. "S'all good in the hood."

"Bullshit."

Bryan fixed his gaze unwaveringly on him. Faux nonchalance poured from the redhead in waves, he'd love nothing better than to wipe that look off his face, in his opinion getting involved with Kai Hiwatari was always going to come to a shitty end. Tala just wasn't thinking with his head, or at least not with the one on his shoulders.

"Tal, everyone has the right to be stupid, but you're abusing the privilege if you think I can't tell when you're lying to my face."

Tala really ought to know better, he mused, he was like an open book to him.

How long had they known each other for now? Fourteen, fifteen years? And he really thought he couldn't tell when he was lying?

"So I'll ask again. Trouble in paradise?"

Tala swirled his glass a little, staring down at the clear liquid like it had the answers to his problems.

"I wouldn't say trouble per se..." he muttered before exhaling an exaggerated sigh.

"It's just... just..."

Bryan leaned a little forward where he sat, silently pressing for Tala to just spit it the hell out, wasn't getting any younger here.

"Ugh... I broke the cardinal rule of fuck buddies and fell for the asshole..."

As soon as the confession left his lips Tala flopped back into the sofa like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"There. I said it."

"Wait...what?"

It was almost unheard of that Bryan was stunned into silence, but exactly that happened after he forced out the question. He gaped at the other in utter disbelief. Tala was yanking his chain, he had to be. There was just no conceivable way that he had fallen for Kai.

Filthy cackles then burst from him in an explosion, his fair hand slapped his knee as his laughter continued to pour from him and fill the entire downstairs of the house.

"You fucking what?!" he wiped his eye as small chuckles continued to escape him. "Ohhh what a dickhead."

"Mmhhhmmm..." The redhead drawled a hum in agreement, though the continuous laughter from the other male was starting to grate now. "Yeah yeah, go on, get it out of your system... asshole."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he let out a dramatic sigh and lifted his glass for a sip, letting a shit-eating grin crack at the irritation the other was displaying.

He'd never known Tala to take more than a shower to move on from one of his conquests, so the notion that he was hung up on Kai had him positively giddy with glee.

"Seriously though, the fuck did that happen?"

Tala gave him a hopeless shrug and kept his gaze low. Hell if he knew. The realisation had just seemed to hit him like a train a few weeks ago.

One minute everything was fine; didn't care any more for the guy than he did his toothbrush. Then the next, he found himself thinking about him more often, and not just when he was horny. He actually started to miss Kai when he wasn't around him, and got this weird tug in his chest like he had done earlier when he was leaving.

"I don't even know man..." he answered seeming defeated. "Whole thing's just fucked."

"Jeez," Bryan muttered, the whole defeatist attitude something he'd never seen on Tala before. Glancing down at his drink he slid the glass across the coffee table.

"Think you need this more than I do, c'mon drink up," he encouraged, though as he watched the redhead pick up his glass and swiftly neck the drink, the smirk fell from his lips.

Oh he had it baaaaaadddddd.

"So what're you gonna do about it?" Bryan then asked, settling himself back and resting an ankle on his knee as he awaited the response.

He got another shrug. Hell if Tala knew that either.

The two of them had been pretty content with this arrangement for some time now. No feelings. Just sex. Was almost the #1 rule of this whole thing.

Tala even remembered teasing Kai one time: 'Hey, don't go falling for me now,' when he'd noticed ruby eyes lingering on his person longer than usual. Kai had sent him a tut, told him to get over himself and followed it with the shameless comment of: 'Was just staring at your ass.'

What was there for him to do about it? There was no way, Kai, the notorious lone wolf who didn't care for anyone but himself would reciprocate whatever feelings he had for him.

"Well, nothing."

"Oh do strap on a pair," Bryan retorted, sitting up and crossing his arms. Tala could just be impossible sometimes. "God knows why you weren't gifted with 'em naturally."

Receiving a look of exasperation, Bryan raised an eyebrow.

"Time to put on your big boy pants and just tell him." He settled himself back, arms along the back of the sofa and sighed dramatically. "I mean, what's the worst that could happen?"

Tala scoffed at that.

What's the worst that could happen?!

"Oh nothing. It's only Kai Hiwatari we're talking about here. Ain't like he's known to be emotionally crippled or anything." His tone sagged with sarcasm before sending Bryan another look.

"I couldn't just tell him. If it doesn't make him erupt in the same fit of laughter it did you it'd just disgust and scare him off. And then what? Won't have nothing to do with me at all then."

"Let me go get my violin..." Bryan responded with a dramatic roll heavenward of his eyes.

"By all means don't tell the guy and wallow here with a vodka in the middle of the day." He rolled his head to look at the other man who sat quietly mulling over his thoughts whilst staring blankly into his empty glass.

Bryan exhaled a sigh through his nose, collecting up both the glasses and headed for the bottle on the worktop to pour them each another healthy measure. Apparently Tala required a certain amount of handholding to work through his latest shit storm. Huffing another dramatic sigh he shook his head.

Returning with the peace offering he flopped back down into his earlier position.

"l don't know what to tell ya, Tal," he admitted as he sipped leisurely at his drink. "You've got yourself into some shit before but this really takes the cake."

Licking his pale lips he rested the glass on his knee.

He hated to say he told him so but...

Eh. Who was he kidding?

"I told you getting involved with him was a fucking terrible idea."

He cracked a wide grin at the look of petulance Tala just shot him. He lifted his glass to his lips, pausing before he took a sip to ask:

"How did you both even start this mess anyways?"

At the question Tala immediately cast his mind back to that glorious night six months ago and with another sigh begrudgingly began the tale...

x-x-x

Awkwardly setting down another handful of beers on the table, Tala let his gaze sweep the carnage that was his living room currently being lit solely by the light of the wide screen TV. Several pizza boxes lay strewn on the coffee table and the floor that he had to step over to get back to his seat beside Kai on the couch.

"Aww look, it's our first date," he teased once he'd nestled back in, nudging his elbow into Kai's ribs before handing him a beer.

Seeing the usual unimpressed expression on Kai's face and the way he'd just snatched the beer bottle caused a snort to come from Bryan who was sat on the other couch adjacent.

When this whole joke started he wasn't sure, but he lived for winding the brat up.

"Aw man, Tala, you should've said! And here we are imposing!"

Acting like he was a mortified Bryan raised a fair hand to rest on his chest. "Shall we go and leave you both to it?"

Tala's lips curled up. Could always count on his right hand man to join in the fray.

"Yeah actually, would you mind? I think tonight might be the night..."

Kai's face scrunched up further, shifting across on the sofa as much as space would allow as a fair hand firmly clasped his knee before beginning the slow slide up his thigh.

Clearing his throat he shifted again, pressed as he was against the arm of the sofa, there was nowhere else for him to go. He felt the familiar heat of embarrassment creep up his neck and settle on his face, no doubt in a bloom of scarlet.

In his peripheral vision, Kai glimpsed Bryan, with that feral grin he sported whenever he found someone else's misfortune amusing.

He fixed the redhead with a sharp look as Tala's hand came dangerously close to territory he shouldn't be exploring in company. The amusement dancing in azure eyes at the obvious blush only serving to jangle his nerves more.

He batted his hand away when he couldn't stand it a second longer.

"Knock it off," he bit, averting his focus to the television and astutely ignoring Bryan as he smothered his cackles by taking a gulp of beer.

Tala supped at his own with slight difficulty with his devilish grin firmly set in place.

The guy was too easy... Though, if he didn't know he was straight before he sure did now. Freakin' prude...

He shuffled away himself, giving the two of them some apparent much needed distance again, sending a wink over to Bryan who'd wiggled his brows.

The evening so far had been great, 90% at Kai's expense, but even so. Good food, good beer, decent enough movies... what more does a boy's night need?

"This is set in world war two time right?" Ian asked before a scoff of disgust came from him. "That gun wasn't even invented yet. Fail!"

"Ah shut your trap squirt and pass me another beer." Bryan ordered shoving into him with his elbow. "And move up, how can someone so small take up so much fucking room?"

"Guys, please." Spencer said in a groan, sick of the other two already. Couldn't they just have one evening together without some childish squabble?

"He started it," Ian defended grabbing a bottle from the table in front and shoving it to his elder who pulled the cap off with his teeth.

"Nyeah and I'll finish it too, little runt, move!" Bryan snapped spitting the cap onto the table. "What's up, you got a crush on me or something? You wanna double date with Kai and Tal?"

Kai had sipped his beer the same moment Bryan spoke. In his shock he gasped a breath in embarrassment, beer flooded his mouth and his eyes widened. He choked, coughing before managing to get the mouthful of alcohol down.

Bryan cackled as he watched the younger man shrink with his cheeks burning red again.

"Bet that's not the only thing he wants to be choking on tonight," he winked dramatically at Kai as he stared, ruby eyes unblinking in his surprise.

Tala slapped his knee as another bout of laughter came from him.

Ohhhh how he wished that was the case but god forbid this kid lived a little...

"Aww look you messed up your shirt," Tala then coyly pointed out, the slightest damp patch sitting on Kai's breast pocket. "Can help you change into something else if ya waaantt..."

"It'll dry," Kai insisted, his face flushing yet again as the redhead fluttered his eyelashes suggestively at him.

"You're making the place look untidy, go change." Bryan insisted in a scoff, looking the younger man up and down obviously. His focus flicked to Tala, a red eyebrow raising with interest and eyes still dancing with amusement.

"It's. Fine." Kai bit out, his face serious and trained back on the television. His pale cheeks still dusted pink at all the attention. As if he honestly believed ignoring everyone would make Bryan leave him alone.

The falcon chuckled quietly.

"Kai, go change," he repeated, his face as serious as his tone.

Kai turned his attention back to him and raised an eyebrow in silent question. Bryan grinned widely.

"No, I'm-"

Before he could finish, beer foamed and overflowed over the top of Kai's beer when Bryan thumped the bottom of his bottle down on the top of his.

"Fuck sake, Bryan!" Kai snapped as beer soaked into his top, shaking the excess from his hand and groaned. He couldn't sit there in this now, soaked through, sticking to him and reeking of beer.

Tala's expression was positively gleeful as he spoke.

"Whoopsy daisy! Guess we'd better get you that new shirt now."

Jumping up from his seat Tala held his hand out though of course it wasn't taken and Kai got up by himself with another tut in frustration.

Assholes. All of them.

Tala snorted again as he watched Kai turn and take himself up the stairs, clearly pissed off and sick of all their shit.

Too easy...

"Shan't be long gentlemen..." the redhead then sent to the group stepping over a pizza box and going to follow him.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't!" Bryan's sing-song voice chased them up the stairs in an echo followed by his filthy cackle.

If Tala noticed the falter in his steps he didn't comment and for that, Kai was grateful. He waited at the top of the stairs, crossing his arms and ignoring the lecherous grin on the redhead's face as he allowed him to step past.

He followed the taller man quietly into his room, watching as he stepped over to his dresser and search for a shirt that he could wear.

"We're only fucking around with you y'know. Lighten up," Tala sent over his shoulder as he continued to rummage for something that would fit the shorter but broader male.

"Whatever," Kai tossed back, his arms tensing as the redhead held up a T-shirt before shaking his head and tossing it back into the drawer.

At the usual cool tone Tala smirked to himself before pulling out a shirt he was sure would fit him as it was a little big on himself.

"Here ya go this'll do," he said as he turned to face him and chucked it over.

"I'll let you give me a show too if ya like..." the coy tone returned as he sat himself down on the edge of the bed resting back on his hands.

Catching the clothing and holding it against his side, Kai stared at him for a long moment.

"You're joking?" he asked in disbelief, feeling his cheeks heating up again.

He couldn't bring himself to tear his eyes from the cocky asshole in front of him. It was one thing to share a locker room back in the day, but it was another thing entirely to have the redhead sat right in front of him devouring him with his eyes while he changed.

"Think it's the least you could do to say thank you..." Tala shrugged. "You'd just be sat in a wet shirt all night if it wasn't for me. Soo, feel free to show me how grateful you are if you want..."

Tala was of course kidding right now but he just wanted to see how far he could push him. Why? He wasn't sure. But he'd had a few beers so was feeling extra cheeky tonight.

"If it wasn't for that asshole my shirt wouldn't be wet in the first place," Kai uttered under his breath. The hold on the T-shirt tightened, his knuckles paling with the force of his grip. Blue eyes noticed the subtle movement and he let a grin cross his lips.

"You got a set of tits under there or something? What's wrong?" Tala pressed completely aware of the stalling. "Oh come on, just strip, I don't bite y'know. Well... unless you want me to."

Kai spluttered wordlessly for a moment, focusing on the redhead as he watched lazily from his position reclined on the bed.

"Oh please," he scoffed, they could do this back and forth all day. "You couldn't handle me."

Tala huffed a small laugh at the challenge, sitting himself upright as his lips curled up again.

"Oh yeah? You really think so?"

Pah! This guy had no clue of the animal he was!

"I know so," Kai threw back, feeling like Tala finally didn't have the upper hand on him, he hooked pale fingers under the hem of his shirt and fluidly pulled it over his head. Discarding his wet shirt on the floor, he glanced up to the older man and froze at the reaction.

Tala's mouth had gaped some as he took him in. He too freezing where he was sat and thankful he was off his feet as he'd gone a little lightheaded.

He'd only ever seen Kai from the back in the locker rooms. For whatever reason he always shied and turned away from them whilst they were changing.

Who knew he was hiding all of that...

"Damn..."

Kai felt a smile curl his lips as the redhead reacted so obviously. Shifting his weight from one leg to the other, he rested a hand on his hip and let his smile evolve into a wide grin

"See something you like? Hmmm?" he teased, watching him closely and lapping up the subtle responses he was giving and feeling his confidence grow.

It was Tala's turn to stumble over his words and stutter. He'd never been so caught off guard by another standing half naked before him.

"Well-I- I mean... well, yeah! Look at you! Fuck..." he went on to shamelessly admit and forced himself to stand, feet moving towards him in a trance like state as his eyes continued to rake over his impressively toned torso.

"Why the hell do you have to be straight...?"

Kai huffed a short laugh at the redhead before him.

"Who said I was straight?" he murmured as Tala came to a halt in front of him. His reaction just as delicious as the last.

"... Wait... You mean you're..."

"Gay? Yeah. Go figure," Kai finished the sentence whilst rolling his eyes.

Tala seemed to just stand there for a moment, clear from his face the cogs were turning in his mind before he took another step forward, closing the gap between them and without thinking brashly cupped Kai's head and pulled him in to a bruising kiss.

Soft lips swallowed the muffled grunt of surprise from Kai. He stared wide eyed for a moment before his eyes fluttered closed as a low moan was pulled from his throat.

At the sound and hands now on his waist Tala let his fingers slither into slate hair, pulling him in even closer and diving his tongue in to deepen the kiss.

He found the mixture of Kai's cologne and beer on his breath intoxicating. Never imagining they'd cross such a line but grateful to hell they had regardless of whatever consequences it may bring.

With the others downstairs still it wasn't like they'd fuck or anything, though whatever Kai was willing to do he'd lap up without hesitation.

Kai's hands slid slowly down Tala's sides, hooking into the redhead's belt loops. Tongues battling lazily with no clear winner as to who was in control.

His pale hand crept lower, squeezing a firm denim clad cheek and he felt himself grin into the kiss when Tala rewarded him with a gasp of surprise. Using the moment the redhead was caught off guard to manoeuvre him, he spun him and pushed his back to the wall with a dull thud.

Pressing himself against the taller male, Kai allowed his hands to slide up and settle on Tala's shoulders, twirling a lock of crimson hair at the nape of his pale neck lazily round his finger.

Tala let him have it for a moment as he composed himself. He shouldn't have been surprised given Kai's rough personality but this wasn't exactly a position he was used to being in.

Whilst he didn't mind it, if Kai thought he was going to be in charge of whatever this was he had another thing coming.

He was the captain around here.

Letting his fair hands stroke up Kai's sides to his chest he used the slight height difference to his advantage and pivoted on his heel, taking Kai with him and shoving his bare back up against the wall now.

Instantly Tala went for his neck, restraining him some with his hands and set a mixture of sloppy kisses and small sucks upon his warming skin.

Tilting his head to allow him more access Kai let loose a breathy moan of the redhead's name. He certainly wasn't accustomed to being dominated quite like this but the pleasure thrumming under his skin pushed the thought from his mind.

"Ta-ala."

His grip on crimson locks tightened as Tala's open kisses moved across his neck. He was fairly certain he'd have a few marks on his skin once he was finished but the thought flittered away when he grazed his collarbone with his teeth.

Pushing off from the wall, Kai began to nudge him backwards. Lips searching for Tala's and a soft sigh escaped when they met hungrily.

Kai's tongue slipped easily back past Tala's lips as the bed bumped against the backs of his knees. His fingers walking slowly up Tala's toned chest and Kai pulled back slowly opening lust glazed eyes. He let a grin curl his lips as he gave the redhead a firm push, toppling him back on to the bed. His eyes took in the sight before him and the grin widened.

Catching himself as he fell, Tala stared up from the mattress as Kai sauntered over to him and crawled on top to join him.

Something about the look in those dark crimson eyes was unnerving yet captivating at the same time. He'd seen a similar look from him over the beydish but this expression seemed a lot more hungry.

"Someone's eager..."

The smoky voice sent a delicious tingle up Kai's spine and his eyes rolled back to a close.

Swooping back down to capture soft lips in another bruising kiss, Kai devoured the soft moan that came from parted lips below.

He slowly pressed kisses along his sharp jaw, stopping to suck behind an ear leaving a faint bruise before ghosting his hand along Tala's side. Slipping under his shirt he gently pressed his fingers against his warm skin causing him to erupt in goosebumps.

Realising the effect he was having on him boosted Kai's confidence further and his hand then slipped lower, working the button on Tala's jeans loose and lowering the zip.

All blue eyes could do were sit back and watch. Tala's entire self in a trance like state as he watched the fair hands almost too skilfully undo his jeans and pull them off. Mindlessly he'd assisted, lifting up his hips as his heart pounded in his chest.

Were they really doing this? What were they even doing?! Bryan and the guys were still downstairs, so - surely not that?!

The redhead had never felt so flustered over a potential conquest. His inner self acting like a damn virgin as he watched his boxers too be pulled down next leaving his more than hard self on full display now to the other.

He looked up to Kai who had licked his lips in preparation and all became clear on what was about to happen.

The other guys downstairs or not – He'd be fucking crazy to stop this.

Setting himself down on his knees between Tala's legs, Kai took hold and ran his tongue along the underneath of his shaft causing him to twitch in his grip. The eyes above him heavy and still in that trance like state as he watched the show he'd been so desperate for.

Kai would be lying if he'd said he hadn't thought about doing this with the redhead before now. Knew he'd held some curiosity for him but wasn't entirely convinced on the intensity until all of Tala's teasing had upped a notch. It stopped being just words from him and had progressed into action.

The playful prods, the squeezing the caressing.

Every time the redhead so much as touched him it had set his skin alight with goosebumps and being in such an intimate setting as his bedroom he couldn't resist finally biting.

Tala couldn't believe what he was seeing, the image of the stoic male on his knees, lips wrapped around his tip; a sight he never thought he'd witness.

His eyes rolled back as Kai parted his lips and sunk down his shaft, he moaned lowly, conscious that he had to keep quiet but, fuck this felt good.

Kai dragged his gaze up, locking on the male above. His eyes dancing with amusement as fair fingers wound tightly into his slate bangs.

"Fuck Kai..." Tala breathed out, still not believing this was happening right now.

It wouldn't be the first time he'd done something like this with company in the house. But he wasn't with just anyone right now... this was Kai Hiwatari.

Kai Hiwatari. The same notorious traitor of the BBA who'd switched teams more than he did his underwear; yet somehow managed to remain loyal to no one but himself; currently on his knees deep throating him.

The sight was glorious.

Prizing his eyes back open to soak it up Tala continued to rake through the slate hair whilst his hand moved along with Kai's movements as he bobbed up and down him.

To this day he still wasn't 100% sure where he stood with the man. Admittedly, he himself, was still a little bitter over the whole thing that had happened. Sure, the championships were years ago, but finding out you were just simply a spare part being used for the other to get to who he really wanted had stung a little.

Was fine he guessed. They weren't exactly friends. But he hadn't realised to the extent of just how cold Hiwatari was back then.

Tala knew what the kid was like by now. Hell, he'd known him long enough. However he and the other Blitzkrieg boys had at least warmed up some so what the hell was stopping Kai?

Kai sloppily pulled off him with a quiet pop, pulling his lust glazed eyes back up to lock with his. He grinned.

Leaning back down, he dragged his tongue along the underside of the redhead's admittedly impressive cock before sealing his mouth around the head and swirling his tongue.

A shudder ran through Tala and Kai hummed lowly in appreciation.

Resting his hands gently on fair hips, Kai allowed his entire length to slide back into his mouth and set a slow rhythm once again.

He wasn't sure why it was Tala that he'd grown closest to. He perpetually hid behind a dickhead facade whenever he was around, and that could be attributed as the reason Kai still kept him at arms length. But when they were alone, his company was one Kai could even say he enjoyed.

How he'd gotten himself into this situation though was beyond him. Sure he knew the redhead was hot, he had eyes after all. But to actually cross that line on a whim just because Tala was goading him?

It surprised even him.

Using all he could to keep his sounds at bay, Tala's throat had gone dry with his pants and a light dusting of pink had graced his usually fair cheeks.

"K-Kai... Fu-... I-I'm gonna-"

Throwing his forearm over his own mouth, his thighs tensed up and the grip on Kai's hair tightened as he was pushed over the edge.

He couldn't not hold back the moan that came from him and he really hoped his arm had muffled him enough.

At the warning Kai had pulled away and replaced his mouth with his hand. Quickly jerking him until it was clear he'd satisfied him with Tala's cum now smeared on his own shirt.

Rising fluidly to his feet, Kai wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, eyes roaming over him as he lay entirely wiped out amongst the sheets.

"Told you," he began, running fair fingers through his hair. "You can't handle me."

Grabbing up the shirt Tala had given him he quickly pulled it over his head and glanced back at the redhead who still had yet to move from his boneless position sprawled on the bed.

His lips twitching up into a smile, Kai stepped away pulling the door open and disappearing down the hallway leaving Tala to come back to his senses.

When he settled in his previously vacated seat on the couch he wasn't given a second glance from the other Russians. Plucking a beer from the table and crossing his legs he trained crimson eyes back on the television.

Upstairs Tala just stared at the door Kai had sauntered out of in his usual arrogant fashion, dick left limp on his thigh and the evidence of what just happened sitting all up his shirt.

Never, had he been the one to be discarded of like used goods but the very act that would repulse so many actually sparked an immense amount of excitement within him.

The cocky bastard! Holy shit! He huffed out a laugh. He knew Kai had a dark streak but who'd have thought he had that in him.

Fuck that was amazing...

He eased himself up, dressed his lower half before peeling off his stained shirt.

He hadn't even needed to return the favour either. He could get used to that...

Slipping on a new shirt from his drawer he head back down the stairs with a slight bounce to his step, sitting back into his seat beside Kai trying to keep his smug expression at bay.

However the faint smile dropped entirely when the tall blonde opposite opened his mouth.

"Hey did you change your shirt too?"

Bryan pulled his attention from the film at the question, turning his focus to the redhead and frowned.

Kai shifted lazily in his seat next to him, lifting his beer bottle to his lips and taking a long mouthful as he 'minded his business'. He glanced over to the others at the conversation, a clear indication that he was listening, but made no attempts to join in.

"Yeah weren't you wearing blue?" Bryan asked, swigging his beer and raising an eyebrow at the redhead's reaction

Whilst it wasn't apparent with his chilled demeanour, internally Tala was sweating buckets.

Really? Now is when they all decide to be observant?

"I just thought the black would co-ordinate with Kai better that's all," he managed to quickly pull from his ass before throwing them a grin and rubbing his arm up against Kai's who'd just sent him a look.

"That alright with you?"

x-x-x

A long moment passed. Bryan just staring at the man before him in absolute incredulity.

Feigning calm he lifted his glass, pausing half way to his mouth he put it back down gently. He opened his mouth to talk and closed it again.

Standing and striding to the kitchen he returned with the bottle of vodka. He unscrewed the cap and tossed it on the table as he sat himself back on the sofa.

Tala lifted his glass for a refill, surprised when Bryan didn't even so much as grace him with a glance before taking a deep gulp straight from the bottle.

Oh.

"You're kidding," he eventually spoke flatly, gazing sharply across to him, "You were upstairs fucking his face while we were watching a crappy movie down here?!"

Tala pressed his lips together in an attempt to stop the fit of laughter that oh so desperately wanted to escape his throat though the coy smirk was saying it all right now.

"The fuck Tal?!"

Tala couldn't hold it and snorted.

"What? You wanted to know when it started," he nonchalantly shrugged to him.

"So there ya go... now you know..."
