Hello all!

Finally an update for you!

Thank you so much to those of you who reviewed the last chapter! I loved some of your reactions to this shit show.

Yes, they're fighting a lot. Yes, it's immature. But they're teenage boys and one of them is expecting. Hardly a recipe for rainbows and sunshine.

But the tipping point is in sight. Fear not, dear readers!

Big Warning. This chapter is essentially one huge lemon. Won't even bother marking where it starts, cause it's basically the entire thing.

If you've made it this far in the story, I'm sure it won't be an issue. But if it is...I'd probably just not read this chapter if I were you.

Huge shout out to Luxah for her contribution to this chapter!

On with the show!

Chapter 15 – Senses

Ray and Kai sat on opposite sides of the couch. Silence yet again.

He knew that sweet moment and blissful calm in the hospital was too good to be true.

The next morning, Kai had come down from his dose of whatever that magic stuff Tao had given him.

...And remembered Ray had gotten him taken off the team until the baby was born.

Tao gave him the all clear to go home, sternly demanding that they kept things calm at home.

Three days had passed. No arguments had erupted...yet, which Ray was grateful for, but things were anything but peaceful.

He kept glancing over at Kai. He was clearly so mad for what had happened.
He knew it was a low move. But he really did think it was better for both Kai and the baby.

The silent treatment was starting to get to him. He needed to break the ice. Do something nice for him.

He was carrying his child after all. Wouldn't hurt to try and do things to bring them closer together.

He glanced at him yet again, his shoulders looked tense and the frown he had looked like a permanent feature now.

"So... um... how was your day?" timidly.

Kai glanced over a few times before huffing.
Even he'd had enough of the silence.
"Fine." He answered bluntly.

Ray would have high-fived himself it wouldn't have made him look like an asshole.
"You hungry!? I can make something for you."

Kai tensed. He wanted this from Ray...but at the same time it felt forced, like it wasn't real.
"No. I'm good..." he replied before deciding to be civil, "...thanks."

"Yeah... I can uh.. do something else for you? Rub your back... feet..." he tried, wanting to do something for him to make up, anything. He'd lick his feet at this point if he asked him.

Kai tried not to show his inner cringing on his face at that. He was trying way too hard. It was off-putting.
"You really don't need to do this, Ray..."

"I think I do. I'm just trying Kai... Please, give me a chance." He said as he turned to him, pleading eyes looking at him.

His frown softened.
He was trying...it just didn't seem to be what he wanted.
He didn't even know what he wanted from him any more.
"...My shoulders kind of hurt..." he said quietly, extending an olive branch of sorts.

Ray gave him a small and awkwardly moved over beside him, Kai turning around on the couch for him. He was still tense under his hands, there were several knots that he tried to work out but the sounds Kai had made for Aoba weren't coming out for him. He felt angry, digging in harder.

He had to do better than Aoba.

Kai flinched and hissed. That was a little rough.
"Ow..." he let out, a little annoyed.

"Sorry.." He mumbled, trying again but got nothing and his frustration got the better of him. Kai hadn't made a peep, aside from the ow.

Kai wriggled awkwardly out his hold and shifted back.
"Thanks...I'm good." He told him uncomfortably.

Ray didn't know why but that only angered him more.

"If you just relaxed your shoulders." He bit out in a huff.

Kai jumped slightly at his anger, his frown coming back.
"Little hard to relax when you have vulture talons clawing in to you..."

"They're more cat claws than a vultures, but whatever." He said and rolled his eyes at him, he didn't want another fight. "Sorry I'm not Aoba." He grumbled under his breath, falling back into the couch beside him.

"Yeh...me too..." he grumbled back in spite, shifting his shoulders to stretch them out.

Ray's ears perked, if Kai was pregnant he'd hit him for that.

"Well...Sorry to keep disappointing."

Kai rolled his eyes. So much for Ray wanting to help him relax. If he was going to harp on about Aoba, but not see his side about Ben, then fuck him.
"You should ask him for tips...his hands are magic..." he said in a slightly dreamy voice.

"If I remember right, my hands have never bothered you before." He snorted, folding his arms around himself.

Kai shrugged, feeling vindictive.
"What can I say, hadn't had anyone else touch me. Guess I didn't have anything to compare it to..."

Rei snapped his head to him

"Why are you doing this?" He asked in a growl.

Kai raised a sly brow.
"Doing what?" He asked innocently.

"Being an ass..." He bit out, until something clicked in him.

This wasn't crazed, overly emotional pregnant Kai.

This the old Kai, the Kai he had fallen in love with, who loved to play with him and rile him up.

He let out a smirk in acceptance of the unspoken challenge.

They weren't screaming at each other yet, maybe he could get something more out of this, if he pushed his buttons right.

Kai shifted victoriously back in to the couch, feeling smug.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Was just a suggestion...since you wanna 'help' so bad..."

"Then maybe you should start asking me for tips on how to beat Tyson. You know, just as a suggestion since I've beaten him." He said, his lips upturning into a smirk.

Kai's smug face vanished in a flash as he choked on his own spit, jaw dropping before he could stop it and snapped his head to him.
"You really want to fucking start this with me?" He growled viciously.

"It was just a suggestion." His smirk widened slighty. The look in Kai's eyes spelt death and he loved every second of it. "I am just trying to help."

Kai felt his blood boil.
"Well shove it up your ass! Gloat all you want, but if I remember correctly you're the one with the most losses...the team's weak link."

"Say's the boy who played what, three matches in total? Making us do all the hard work? Please." Ray scoffed, rolling his eyes at him.

Kai clenched his fists as his eyebrow twitched, getting on his knees and towering over him.
"Who the fuck are you calling a boy?" He hissed through grit teeth.

Ray looked him up and down, the smirk not faltering as his body heated up. There was something with the way Kai looked when angry like this that made his head lose all coherent thought.

Again, not frazzled pregnant angry.

Kai style angry.
"You." He said coolly.

Kai growled harder and grabbed the front of his shirt, yanking it.
"You watch your mouth...I may not be able to hand your ass to you right now, but I don't forget..."

"You know." Ray started, putting his hand over Kai's that was busy strangling the front of his shirt. "You're really cute when you're angry." He said as if he was a love struck teenager... But then again, that's exactly what he was.

Kai's face faltered for a split second, his response catching him off guard before he got mad again.
The patronising son of a bitch!
"You won't think I'm so cute when I'm ripping your cock off and shoving it down your own throat..." he growled.

"Already tired of taking it in yours?" Ray asked, all coherent though right out the window.

He wanted him, this feisty angry, out for blood version of him and he wanted it now.

The grip on his shirt tightened.
"I never want to see that pathetic excuse of an organ again..." he bit.

"Is that so?" He asked, his cockiness only being emboldened by him. He wasn't going to make the first move though, he knew better than that since Kai would do as he said, so he had to get Kai to come onto him.

Kai's eyes narrowed, leaning in closer.
"I'd rather fuck a cheese grater, you prick..." he spat, his blood boiling over. He never wanted to punch him so bad.

"There is one in the kitchen, if you'd like I could go get it for you." He said, his fingers squeezing around Kai's wrist that was still attached to him and lifted his knee a little where it barely brushed against Kai's crotch.

His hips flinched backwards before he took his shirt and shoved him back.
"Smart ass...why don't you go use it on yourself..."

"And then have you be jealous of a kitchen appliance for the rest of our lives? No thank you." He joked a little, shifting again underneath him. This time his leg brushed along his, their eyes locked together.

He cocked a brow.
"I'm not the one with jealousy issues..." he lied through his teeth.

"Who said I was jealous? I've made you make those noises before, louder to." He said with a coy smirk, "Guess he should take some tips from me." He added, leaning towards Kai's face just to crowd into his personal space.

Kai shifted back, Not enjoying his smart ass partner getting close and under his skin.
"Pfft...don't flatter yourself...I put on a show so you wouldn't feel bad..."

"Says the guy who got leg cramps and then asked for more." Ray mused, shifting upward and tightening his hold a little bit more around Kai's wrist.

Kai felt him tighten his hold and tried to pull away.
"Got to stroke your ego somehow...unsatisfying is better than nothing."

Ray let him go, not wanting to risk his own hand and ran it through his bangs, tossing them around a little. "You did more than just stroke my ego." He said with a wink.

Kai rolled his eyes and cursed as the wink made his face flush a little.
"...Hope you remember it well, I won't be stroking anything for a long time comin'"

Ray shrugged his shoulders at him, he'd get him to crack at some point. Pregnancy hormones were a bitch sometimes, but others they were a blessing.

If he could just get him riled up enough, this could be real fun.

Kai always did liked playing hard to get, but Ray liked the challenge.
"Fine by me, we'll live like monks for the rest of our lives. Guess we can say goodbye to honeymooning in Spain. Should I exchange your wedding ring for a purity one for you?"

Kai didn't see the funny side at all and patted his belly.
"Yeh right...like going anywhere ever again is an option..."

Ray frowned a little, of course it was. They had lines of people itching to get their hands on their baby, it took a village to raise a child and they were literally sitting in one now.
"Guess that solves the issue then there too." He played along with another shrug. "I should go cut my hair now since we're going to be monks and all."

Kai huffed, bored of his stupidity.
"Oh, shut up, dumbass..."

"No, I'm serious..." he kept on while considering if he was really going to say what as fixing to come out next. He knew he shouldn't...He hadn't uttered that name since the night of the sedatives. But he was giddy on this silly, potentially sexy little game.

"I think Ben might be able to cut it for me. He always was good at it." He lied as he pushed himself off the couch.

His fire roared in him at the mention of 'he who must not be named'
What a low blow...
"He ever touches your hair again, I'll strangle him to death with it!" His voice screeched uncontrollably

Ray had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from reacting to that, instead he reached behind him and unclasped the wrap, letting it fall around his shoulders.
"I kind of do need a trim though." He said as he ran his fingers through it.

Kai's brow twitched as he watched his hair fall loose, wanting desperately to run his fingers through it.
He made himself turn his nose the other way.
"Your hair. Do what you want." He snapped.

"Okay, I'll go see if he's not busy then." He said as he flipped a few stray locks over his shoulder and turned for the stairs.

Kai shoved himself out his seat and grabbed his shoulder.
"You wouldn't dare."

Ray pretended to be shocked and confused as he looked at him for a second, "Did you want to cut it?" He asked, twirling a lock around his finger.

Kai growled and punched his arm.
"Will you stop fucking around!? I'm tired of your stupid bullshit! No one is cutting it, end of!"

"But, it's my hair." Ray feigned stupidity on the outside, while inside he was laughing and patting himself on the back.
He got a little bolder and ran his fingers through his hair again, making a quiet subtle purr.

Kai felt the heat rise. He could smell something almost.
He was pissed. Royally pissed. Wanted to beat the shit out of him...but...
He smacked Ray's hand away and ran his own through, tugging at it a little roughly.
"It's mine!" He hissed angrily.

Ray stepped closer to him, a victorious smirk on his face. "Thought you weren't jealous?" He asked, his words sliding off the tip of his tongue.

Kai growled, getting a bigger handful of hair and tugging harder.
"I'm not! No one touches it!" He hissed angrily.

"But you?" Ray asked coolly, his fangs showing through his smirk.

Kai's pupils wobbled before they slit.
"That's right!" His voice rumbled as he roughly ran his hand along his scalp.

Ray's eyes widened, without thinking he grabbed Kai's chin and forced his head up a little as he looked into his eyes, a soft gasp escaping him.

How was this possible?!

Kai pulled his head away.
"The fuck are you doing!?"

"Your eyes..." Ray answered in a soft voice, he didn't want to scare him. "Come here." He added and took his wrist, leading him up the stairs to their bathroom and pushed him in front of the sink and mirror.

Kai looked in the mirror.

Yep. Those were his eyes.
Oh god...he wanted to get him upstairs.
He turned around looking unimpressed at him.
"What about them?"

Ray felt stupid, the shock from him getting him dragged upstairs changed them back. He probably wouldn't believe him even if he told him, he was still mad but not enough for them go back.
He could still use this to his advantage though, butter him up some.
"I guess I've never really noticed how pretty they are."

Kai blinked before frowning hard.
"We've known each other for years and you never noticed them before!?"

"I have, just that they look different right now. Must be the pregnancy hormones."

He felt stupid for trying that, he just wanted him to calm down so he could get him on his back.

Kai tried to keep the frown on his face, but the sappy hormonal monster dwelling in him melted.
Ray hadn't complimented him like that in a long time...

He flushed a little.
"...I think they're the same as always..." he said in an almost bashful voice.

"They're beautiful." Ray purred a little, making the slightest move forward.

"...You really think so?" He asked as he too stepped in a little closer

"I do." He breathed.

God, he was so close now, just a little bit more. The wait was killing him, but if he moved first it'd all go to shit again.

Kai reached out and tilted his chin so he could get a good look at said beautiful eyes before stepping him closer, toe to toe. They'd be chest to chest if his damn belly wasn't in the way...
He leaned in slowly, hovering just before his lips and smirked as he could feel Ray react to it, wanting him to kiss him.

He moved his head away and to his ear instead.
"You'll have to do better than that, asshole." He whispered before pecking his cheek and pushing by him, leaving the bathroom.

Ray shook off the slight shock and with a slight growl in the back of his throat he went after him, catching him before he got to the door and grabbed his shoulders, spinning him around and forced him up against the wall.
"I've about had it with you!" He growled low, inches away from his face.

Kai let out the slightest gasp before smirking smugly.
"You know, you're real cute when you're angry..." He told him, throwing his lame line back at him.

Ray made his pupils slit as a hiss escaped him. He was done with being nice, done with this stupid back and forth between them.
He bit and crashed his lips to Kai's.

Kai let out surprised noise as his mouth got attacked before responding to it, feeling exhilarated.
He gave in only for a few seconds before yanking his hair, parting them and shoving him off him.

"As if I wanna fuck you..." He growled angrily, taking himself out the bathroom to the bedroom...hoping to god he followed.
Being the horny teenager he was, Ray did follow.
Grabbing him again at the foot of their bed and backed his knees up against it just using his own body. He reached for the back of his neck and pulled their lips back together, in a more bruising kiss that lasted for a second.

He gripped on to Ray's shirt, trying to stop himself from falling on the bed as he kissed back roughly.
He pulled away, flushed, breathless and glaring.
"You deaf or something?" He bit.

"Who said you'd be the one fucking?" Ray asked, his voice having gotten deeper. His face still close to Kai's and his breath ragged and hot against him.

He put his arms around his back, pulling him just a bit closer, only getting stopped by his stomach from being able to squish their bodies together like he wanted.

Kai's face flushed harder as the air around them got hotter.
"Think I want your pathetic excuse for a prick in me either?" He breathed back at him.

"I think you do." Ray said with a smirk that showed his fangs as he reached between them, grabbing the front of his pants in a tight firm hold.

He gasped, the single touch riling him and burning him up.
He moved his hands to get another grip on his shirt.
"Don't flatter yourself." He argued pointlessly, but he wasn't going to bend over easily.

Ray lost himself, working his hand against him and kissed him again. A moan slipped through him and the other hand around Kai's back grabbed at his ass.

Kai threw his arms around his neck, kissing him back harder, holding in his moan and cursing his stomach from stopping him pushing against his hand like he wanted.
He broke the kiss, biting in to Ray's bottom lip. He deserved a little pain for being a dick.

"That's more like it." Ray breathed heavily, licking his lips a little as his eyes clouded over with lust.

He pawed at Kai's erection tinting through his pants harder, his own straining between his legs.
The pangs of need got more intense as Kai's nose turned scarlet, a slight whimper escaping his throat. Kai felt his cock leak and they hadn't even really started yet...

"What's the matter baby?" Ray asked, his voice rumbling through his body as he continued to work against him.
Feeling a little spiteful and greedy, pay back for the bullshit, he wasn't going to just give him what he wanted that easily. Even if it only made him hurt in the end.

He shuddered at his voice and tried to steady his panting.
He forced his eyes to narrow.
"Don't think you're special...just haven't jerked off in a while."

"You poor thing." Ray teased in a hushed breath against his neck, nipping at the pale skin that was left exposed.

He tightened his grip against him as his other hand came around the front, his fingers dipping in the rim of his pants as he tugged on them a little. Kai's mouth fell open as he rolled his head back. His head wanted to fight him, make it hard for him, but his body burned for him.

Ray released his hold on Kai and went for the button and zipper on Kai's pants, keeping his mouth latched against his neck as he bit and sucked on his skin roughly. Kai mewed at the sensations coursing from his neck down through his body and felt his hands move go return the favour, rubbing over Ray's hard on and groaning.
He may have slung insults about Ray's manhood, but it was all lies. He had the most perfect cock...and he needed it buried in him.

A rough groan passed through Ray, his breathing getting heavier against Kai's neck and he forced himself to pull away, leaving a decent sized mark on the pale flesh. Careful of Kai's stomach he reached around him and lifted the bottom of his tunic, letting Kai get his arms out of it before he tossed it aside and went straight for teasing his pants down.

Kai tensed for a split second.
Part of him panicked since he was huge and covered in stretch marks...hardly sexy.
The other part couldn't give a fuck if he was covered in scales...
He pulled at Ray's tunic as well, making him at least get shirtless before he stripped him completely.

Golden eyes took him in, his breath hitching in his throat as he looked over him and then another coy smirk round it's way up his face.

"Look at that." He said smugly and teased the wet front of Kai's boxers with the palm of his hand. "Did I excite you baby?" He asked in that same deep seductive voice, his fingers curling over Kai's length.

Kai's face managed to get a deeper red, both turned on and embarrassed, his rubbing making him leak a little more...
He narrowed his hazed over eyes and grit his teeth.

"Fuck yourself..." he spat in a shaky voice.

"And deprive you? That would be unfair." He shot back before he yanked Kai's boxers down to his knees, getting himself on his own in front of him with his fingers still holding him.

With the flick of his tongue he licked at the tip, lapping up what was already leaking and licked him a few more times before he inched him into his mouth. Kai's eyes rolled as his body trembled, a deep moan tearing out from deep in his gut. As Ray started to suck, his knees buckled, making him fall back on the bed, and separating them. He kicked his pants off, his legs spreading like they had a mind of their own.

Ray lifted to reach him again, pushing him down onto his back gently before he went to working him back into his mouth, his own groan breaking through his throat. He moved his hand to Kai's, making him take a fistful of his hair, giving him the reigns of how he wanted this to go.

He gripped his hair hard, taking the hint and pushing his head at a fast rhythm. He couldn't fuck around with buildup, he needed to cum too badly. Constant loud moans streamed from his mouth as his body writhed and heaved. Ray's own hardness throbbed between his legs straining against his pants with every noise he could get out of him.

He mentally smirked to himself.

Aoba wished he could get him to sound this good...

Every now and then he let his teeth graze across him, feeling him shake and shudder beneath him until his thighs tensed, his panting getting more uneven and he forced himself away before it ended.

Kai lifted his head up instantly and groaned in desperate protest. "What the fuck!?" He breathed out, strained.

Ray smirked down at him, he could have sworn his pupils had tried to slit again.

He went to speak when his phone went off inside his pants pocket, like an automatic reaction he reached for it and pulled it out, his face spelling it all as he looked at the caller ID. What perfect fucking timing.

Kai felt himself boil. There was only one person that could be...
His eyes slit furiously, waiting in dark silence to see what he'd do, despite the desperation between his legs. Ray looked between the phone still screaming in his hand to Kai and noticed his eyes, he turned the volume down and tossed the phone behind him without a second thought. Praying that Ben would get the hint and not call him again, or worse, show up at the door.

"Now, where were we?" He asked, his fangs showing as he let his eyes match Kai's, finding it a turn on.

Kai threw himself up and grabbed him as he let out a growl.
Ray was his...
Only his.
He dragged him on the the bed and shoved him on to his back roughly, yanking his pants down clumsily in a rush to set him free, leaning over and and wrapping his own mouth around him.
He'd make him see who was better...

"Fuck, Kai." Ray groaned out, his fingers clawing into the sheets by his head as he resisted the urge to throw his hips upward.

He needed more and was desperate to get deep inside him even though his mouth felt perfect wrapped around him at the moment.

With a weak hand he reached out and grabbed the top of Kai's hair, gripping onto it tightly as he tugged and pulled, another moan ripping through him. Kai had never been this forceful before, where everything felt more overwhelming. Every noise he made he couldn't hold back even if he wanted to, his hips finally jerking up.

"What... What's gotten into... You?" He managed to get out, lifting his head off the bed to look at him.

Kai ignored him and continued to suck him relentlessly.

Until he heard the phone start to vibrate on the floor again. He growled in to it, moving his head violently a few more times before pulling away quickly, wiping his mouth, panting, eyes slit to the width of pin points.

The phone still buzzing on the floor, he lost it.
He got on his hands and knees, splaying himself for him, part of him hating himself for it.

"Fuck me.." he growled out gruffly.

Ray had to collect himself after that, he had heard the phone still going off through his moans but hadn't been in a position to answer. With Kai's ass in the air in front of him he ignored the phone and grabbed the lube from their bedside table, uncapping the bottle and coating himself.

He didn't give any heed or warning, throwing himself inside him, his hips already working up a fast rhythm, not letting Kai get a second to breathe.

"Is this what you wanted?" He growled out, his nails digging into Kai's hips as they smacked against his ass.

Kai cried out, suddenly filled like he needed, being pounded hard like he craved.
"Harder..." he moaned desperately.

Ray obeyed him, shifting a little to get a better angle and hold on him. The bed creaked underneath them, a thin sheet of sweat covering his back making his long hair stick to him. The phone went off again, making him thrust into him harder.

Kai noticed the phone and rage tangled in with the sheer pleasure as his body was knocked back and forth.
He needed to drown it out.
He moaned loudly. Pushing himself back in to Ray in rhythm, getting him in as deep as he could...hoping the baby wasn't getting dizzy as he was.

"Fuck...Ray...yes! Give it to me!" He screamed, both in the throws of passion and in an attempt to drown out the phone.

Ray groaned, he didn't know what had gotten into him but he wasn't going to complain. Even with him buried inside him he throbbed, the noises Kai made only excited him more and he felt like he was already close to releasing.

He stopped, pulling Kai towards the centre of the bed and pushed him on his back again, making sure the pillows propped him up some so he wasn't uncomfortable. He wanted to see him, watch him enjoy getting his brains fucked out.

Quickly he repositioned himself back between his legs. He couldn't really bend him over so took Kai's legs and put them around his hips, lifting him up as he threw himself back inside him and started thrusting with the same force and power he had been before.

The pleasure picking up where it left off. His body moving with Ray's pounding.

The new position meant he was hitting his sweet spot dead on. He moaned, bleated and whined, unable to hold it in, keeping his eyes locked with Ray's wanting his full attention.

"Touch yourself." Ray growled out, their eyes locked and still slit and that alone caused him to pick up speed.
Pulling Kai into him harder, his hips jerking in an overbearing rhythm. He was fighting it back but he was close, needing Kai to end before him otherwise he'd never live it down.

Kai did as he was told, gripping himself with one hand and working himself as Ray had demanded.
His mouth gaped open, his voice straining out in agonising pleasure as his body rocketed towards climax.

"Fuck...Ray...I'm gonna cum..."

"Keep your eyes open." He groaned, fighting his own from closing as pleasure coursed through him.

A jolt shot down Rays spine, a growl tearing through him as he jerked his hips harder into him.

"Cum for me, I want to watch you cum for me."

Kai's brow furrowed hard as the harder pounding and Ray's words sent him over the edge. He obeyed and kept his slit eyes on him as he jerked himself roughly, succumbing as the pleasure exploded. His eyes widened as his entire body launched in to orgasm, crying out as his seed spilled from his throbbing cock.

Ray couldn't continue after that, his own release spilling out of him with a powerful cry and a last hard thrust with a smack of skin that filled the room with their noise.

His body jerked and shook. Not wanting to fall on top of him because of the baby, he fell back, his legs already straining on him but with the waves of his orgasm washing through him he didn't care. He was left there breathless and panting, wiping the brow of his forehead.

He let some quiet grow between them, his phone having gone silent with no doubt a slew of voicemails for him. He'd have to call Ben back later, Kai came first right now. With a little bit of strength he got up and crawled over and laid down beside his still panting partner.

"You okay?" He asked, his chest shaking as he spoke.

Kai trembled himself. They'd never gone like that before. But despite being a hard ride, the air felt cleared between them. He rolled over and rest his head against his chest, listening to his racing heart.

"Yeh..." he breathed out.
He needed that...

"How's your eyes?" Ray asked carefully.

He frowned and looked up at him questioningly.
"...Fine? Why?"

Ray glanced down to meet his eyes, they were back to normal again.

How did he not notice the change when it happened?

Even better, how was it even possible?

He put an arm around his sweat covered back, pulling him closer to him. "They were slit, like mine do..." He answered quietly, not sure how Kai would take it. Already there had been a lot changing on him, this was probably not a good thing either.

Kai lifted himself up and looked at him, scared.
"What!?"

"They're not now, but they were before. That's why I brought you up here in the first place. We'll talk to Tao about it tomorrow." Ray said quickly as he sat up with him, not needing him to go into a panic.

Kai stared at him a little stunned.
His eyes slit!?
"Am I turning in to a fucking cat!?"

Ray bit his bottom lip from laughing, "No, I don't think so... If anything it's just because of the baby. It'll probably go away when you give birth..." He smirked a little, leaning towards him. "I think it's hot."

Kai felt his heart still racing a little...this was freaky...

Wait, what did Ray just say?
"...You do?"

"Hell yes." Ray said and couldn't stop himself from kissing him again, pulling back a little. "It's fucking hot."

Kai grinned coyly and hit him.
"Shut up... Can you make yourself do it on cue?"

Ray did as he asked, it hurt a little since they had been going back and forth for a while now. "It hurts a little." He admitted.

Kai didn't mean to lean in and stare hard. Of course he'd seen Ray's eyes slit a bunch before. But now it was fascinating.

"How do you do it? And why didn't it hurt for me? I can't feel anything...you sure you didn't just think you saw it?"

Ray shrugged at him, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "Don't know how, just kind of concentrate? And no, it only hurts because of them going like this and back often like today. It doesn't hurt when it's a normal reaction, and I know what I saw." He explained best he could, he hadn't really been prepared for the questions but it was way better than him freaking out.

Kai focused, wondering if he could do it...not realising he was just kind of squinting instead.

Ray laughed at him and took him up by the hand, getting their boxers and dressing as he took them to the bathroom and stood him in front of the mirror.

"Tyson is a better blader than you'll ever be." He whispered behind him in his ear.

They slit before he had a chance to tell him to fuck himself, the split second of annoyance cancelled out as he saw it, recoiling and letting out a shriek.

"Jesus fuck!"

Another laugh erupted from Ray's throat, the look on Kai's face was priceless.

"I told you." He laughed, "And don't worry, Tyson has nothing on you."

"Uh huh..." he answered absent-mindedly, too busy gawking at his reflection in the mirror, not entirely sure if he was freaked out or if he liked it.

Ray watched him, liking the look and ran his index finger down the dip of Kai's spine in a feathery touch.

"I like it." He whispered again, pressing up into him. "We'll see what Tao says in the morning."

Kai glanced at him in he mirror and nodded before turning in to him.
"...I guess it's a good thing...right? Like my body's adapting...right?"
Ray smiled. This was much better.

Some logical thinking instead of blind panic for once.
"I would think so. I wouldn't worry about it too much." He said as he backed him into the counter, already hard again.

Kai smiled and bit his lip, lapping up the attention and draping his arms around him.

"Want to take a shower with me?" Ray asked as he pecked his lips, tugging on Kai's bottom lip a little.
Kai grinned in to it. This was more like it.
"Only if you promise to give me good scrub down..."

The grin vanished as his ears picked something up. Vibrating in the next room.

"Ignore it." Ray said, tugging him towards the shower.

Kai smirked.
That's right, Benny boy... Ray's busy.

He kissed him hard, getting them undressed again before pulling Kai into the shower with him and turned the water on once he remembered that he hadn't, having latched himself back onto Kai's neck to give him another mark to match the one on the other side of his pale neck.

Like before it was powerful, hungry, and needy. Kai making noises he never had before and that only drove Ray's desire for him through the roof. At one point he could have sworn he heard Kai purr, but he wasn't going to stop and question it right that second.

After a good hour in the shower, both tired and spent Ray helped Kai back to their bed where he curled up against Ray's side. Ray laid awake, running his fingers through the back of Kai's hair and there it was, another purr.

He smirked to himself.

On the floor his phone went off again.

He glared at it.

Could this asshole not get the hint?

He was really starting to see how Kai got irritated with his constant badgering. How he hadn't seen it before, he didn't know. But since his talk with Aoba in the hospital, it was like a veil had been lifted to a lot of things concerning their old friend.

Since he was off the team for a week on Tao's orders, he hadn't had much of a chance to see him.

To try and keep the peace at home, he didn't really talk to him either.

He looked down at Kai's sleeping face. Frown free and peaceful.

He wanted to see that face more...

There was a long list of things they both needed to figure out before that happened.

But Ben was at the top.

He crept out of bed, picking his phone up off the floor and getting dressed.

As if Ben's timing hadn't been impeccable enough today, it began to buzz yet again.

He left the room quietly as he could, shutting their bedroom door behind him.

As soon as the door closed, Kai's eyes opened. Slit.

This time he felt it.

End of chapter!

Screwed out some frustration.

Told you the tipping point was coming.

Hope you enjoyed it!

See ya next time!
