Something by Yaoi Girl

"Hey, are you guys..." Tyson stopped in mid-sentence, the smile that was plastered across his face disappearing from his face.

Rei lifted his head and stared at the boy standing in the doorway with puffy eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked quietly, shock running through his body at the sight before him.

Shaking his head with a slight glare, Rei mouthed, "Just go."

Tyson nodded and backed out of the room and into the hallway, bumping into Max.

The blonde seen his face, his own expression turning to one of confusion. "What?"

Remaining in shock, the bluenette walked past the blonde and towards their room.

Max decided to find out what was going on, but when he tried Rei and Kai's door handle, he found it to be locked, and he had put the spare key up in his room, so he went to find Kenny to see if he might know what's going on instead of asking Tyson, who seemed to have a lot on his mind from whatever he had seen.

He found the boy sitting in the lobby next to the fountain, busily typing.

"Hey, Kenny?"

"Yeah?" he asked, continuing to type.

"If you want to go ahead and get breakfast, you can. I don't think Tyson's feeling well right now, so I'm going to take care of him." 'And find out what that look was all about...Kenny doesn't seem any different that usual, so I doubt he knows what's going on. I don't want him trying to barge in on Rei and Kai either...'

"Alright. Do you want me to bring you guys something to eat?"

"No, you don't have to. Anyway, I don't think you could carry enough food to feed Tyson, sick or not," Max laughed as he walked off with a slight wave.

Max walked silently back to his shared room with Tyson and Kenny.

He found the bluenette sitting on the far bed facing the window, the room almost completely dark with the exception of a tiny sliver of sunlight filtering through the closed curtains.

Slowly, the blonde walked across the room and climbed onto the bed that Tyson occupied, wrapping his arms around him from behind.

"What's wrong?"

"Something's not right with him..."

"With who? Rei?"

"No." Tyson then turned his head to look Max in the eye. "It's Kai."

The blonde released Tyson and moved to sit next to him, the bluenette taking Max's hand in his own.

"I don't know what it is though. I don't think Rei knows either."

"How do you know something actually is wrong with him?"

"He was holding onto Rei and crying like a scared little kid. Rei was crying too..."

"Then maybe Kai did tell him what was wrong."

"No, because if he did, Rei wouldn't have looked at me like that and told me to go away; he would want our help to fix Kai if he knew."

"I'm sure we'll find out soon."

"Yeah..."

There was an unbearable amount of tension in building up in Max, mainly wanting to know what was going on with Kai, while a little bit of it was from wondering why in the world Tyson was holding his hand...
