"Hey, Rei? Can I ask you something?" Tyson asked over his seat, bumping his head against the window as the bus hit a pot-hole.
"Not right now, Tyson. I know what your question is, but I don't know the answer. Plus, I have my own thoughts and questions to figure out right now. Sorry."
The bluenette smiled. "No prob. I understand."
For no apparent reason, a half-smile appeared on Rei's lips.
"You know Max has been staring at you for the past few minutes?"
As Tyson turned around to look, Max quickly snapped his gaze away from the boy and out the window with a blush.
"I think someone has a crush on you," Rei teased as Tyson turned back to him, a blush also across his cheeks.
"Yeah, and...?" the bluenette huffed, embarrassed.
"And I think you have a crush on him, too," came a matter-of-fact voice beside him.
Amber eyes turned wide as they focused on the smugly smiling boy sitting next to him.
"K...Kai?"
"I need to talk to you about this morning," the boy said, Tyson not taking the hint to leave. "Alone."
The bluenette huffed at the crimson glare he received and stood, walking to sit behind Max.
Even after Tyson left, Kai remained silent, as if thinking.
Rei sensed the other boy's uneasiness as he glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
"You don't have to tell me."
Kai closed his eyes and lowered his head, fists clenched tightly in his lap. "Yes, I do."
"If it's too hard on you right now, why don't you just wait until we can be alone," Rei suggested.
"I don't know if I can go that long without crying again. It hurts so much to hold something like this in," Kai managed through his warring emotions.
"Do you want me to run Kenny out from the back of the bus and we can move back there, so when you feel like telling me, no one will see you cry but me?"
"It doesn't matter where we sit; they'll hear me..."
Hesitating, Rei wrapped an arm gently around the broken boy and pulled him to rest his head on his shoulder.
"Just try to get some rest; maybe you'll feel better after you wake up," he whispered in Kai's ear as he moved the slate-colored hair from the boy's face.
Crimson eyes closed tightly, seemingly trying hold their tears at bay. Both of Kai's arms wrapped around Rei's form, holding him tightly as he buried his face in Rei's shoulder.
He turned his head slightly and managed to say to the raven-haired boy, "I can't sleep; it will all came back again. I don't want to watch it anymore!"
Amber eyes saddened as he watched the broken boy fight with himself.
"Why?"
Rei looked down at the boy, confused.
"Why?"
"'Why' what?" he asked, running his fingers through Kai's hair in an attempt to calm him.
"Why are you worried about me? Why are you helping me?"
"I wouldn't be a very good friend if I didn't worry or help you in a time of need, now would I?"
While Rei was attempting to console the now sobbing Kai, Max scooted back a seat to sit with Tyson.
The blonde turned and peered over the seat at the pair for a moment before turning back around to look at Tyson, who was staring blankly out the window, his head resting against the glass.
"I take it you still don't know?"
The bluenette shook his head, keeping it against the window.
The bus was void of any sound for quite a while, with the exception of the motor humming and Kai's occasional sobs.
As Max turned around to check on how Kai was feeling, Tyson stole a glance at the blonde through his window.
Max slowly turned back around, whispering, "Tyson, look at them! They're so cute like that, but I seriously doubt Kai would want to be held like that if he were feeling alright."
Turning and peering over the seat, Tyson's jaw dropped.
Somewhere along the ride, Kai had either crawled into Rei's lap or the latter boy had moved him there.
The slate-haired boy lay comfortably asleep as he used Rei's shoulder for a pillow, both of his arms wrapped contentedly around the boy.
Amber eyes were also closed peacefully, arms also around Kai's form, his head resting lightly atop Kai's.
After recovering from the initial sight, a wicked smiled appeared on Tyson's face.
"Move so I can get out!" he whispered excitedly.
The blonde turned to him, confusion evident on his face. "Why?"
"So I can go get Kenny!"
"For what?"
"Just move and you'll see!"
As quietly as possible, Tyson slid past Max and moved down the isle, making sure not to disturb the sleeping pair in the slightest on his way to the Chief.
Upon arriving at the back seat, the bluenette poked the boy.
"Kenny! Wake up or I'll put pennies in your disk drive!" he whispered in the boy's ear, the other boy then snapping his eyes open and tightening his grip on Dizzi.
"You wouldn't dare!" he practically screamed, causing Max to turn and look at them.
"Shh! Don't wake them up!"
Kenny looked around. "Who?"
"Rei and Kai. Now take Dizzi and get a picture! We so have to get more blackmail material on both of them!"
"But I..."
"Fine then. Show me what to do and I'll take it."
Kenny instructed him on how to use Dizzi's camera, then he snuck back towards the front of the bus, sliding into a seat two in front of the resting pair.
Tyson took the picture and started walking back to return Dizzi, smiling victoriously.
But the smiled quickly disappeared as he began to fall forward, pulling the laptop tightly to his chest.
Fearing for his computer, Kenny ran as quickly as he could toward the falling boy and caught him.
"Thanks, Chief!" Tyson breathed. "But was did I trip over?"
"Probably your own clumsy feet," Kenny replied as he took Dizzi tightly in his arms.
The bluenette turned and glare at the offending object that had tripped him: Rei's foot.
Stalking back to where the raven-haired boy sat, he glared down at a widely smiling Rei.
