Something by Yaoi Girl

Amber eyes opened against their will to glare at whoever had just opened his door the next morning, but refrained from glaring too darkly as it was just a nurse checking on him.

She had checked his vitals and did some writing on his chart, telling him quietly, so as to not wake Kai, that their breakfast would be there shortly before she left, closing the door behind her.


Rei tried his best to get back to sleep, but failed. Something kept tickling his neck, and it wasn't until he was almost fully awake that he realized it was his hair, its usual binding sitting on the desk neck to him and he didn't like what had happened to it at all.

It was in a bio-hazard bag, as it had blood on it from the shot the last night, and a rip from where the bullet had grazed it He frowned. Now what was he going to use to keep his hair out of his way? A normal pony tail or braid wouldn't help. With his hair in a pony tail, it was always tangled horribly by the time he took it down, and if it was in a braid, it was too wavy for his liking in a pony tail or down.

'Guess I'll have to send grandma a letter and ask her to make me a new one,' he thought as he sat up, smiling as the nurse walked in with two food trays. He nudged Kai a couple times, which failed to wake him, so he kissed him, causing the nurse to blush and smile at the sight as she set the trays on the roll-y table and moved it over to them.

Kai, totally not aware of another presence in the room, laced his fingers in Rei's hair at the base of his skull and deepened the kiss. It was only after the door had creaked shut that he knew the nurse was there and had just left.

They separated, Kai smiling. "I could get used to an alarm clock like that. Are you feeling better?"

"I'll have to keep in mind that you like to be woke up that way. I'm sure the guys will like it too since you're not being your normal not-a-morning person routine. But then again, this was only the first time...And yes, I'm feeling much better. Still a little pain," Rei smiled back as he cut off a piece of his gravy and biscuits, offering the bite to Kai, who ate it.

"I'm the one who should be feeding you," he replied after he had finished his bite.

"Be my guest."

With that, Kai began cutting the food on both trays into bite-sized pieces, alternately feeding Rei and himself.

Soon they were down to the last piece of gravy and biscuit, Kai purposely, but making it seem like an accident, 'missed' Rei's mouth, gravy coating a corner of it.

Rei ate the piece, not minding the gravy being there, as he knew what Kai was up to. And sure enough, just as he had suspected, as soon as he had swallowed, his boyfriend leaned down and licked the small bit away and proceeded to kiss him.

They kissed for several minutes, only stopping when they heard the door open and someone's big mouth.

"Man, the 'get a room' thing won't work this time..." Tyson pouted.

Rei laughed. "Glad you guys could make it."

"Glad to see you're feeling like yourself already," Max smiled, indicating what they had just walked in on.

The boys each grabbed a chair from somewhere within the dark corners of the room and sat down in them next to the bed. Kenny noticed a brochure on the table next to the bed and began to skim through it while Tyson and Max asked questions about last night.

While the question and answer session went on, the nurse came in, handing Kai a plain brown box then left.

Rei eyed the box then Kai, silently asking.

The crimson-eyed boy handed Rei the box. "It's for you."

"For me?"

"Just open it and see!" Max cried out, already know what the box contained.

When Kai had talked to the boys last night during Rei's surgery, he had sent them on a mission, and it looked like they had completed it with flying colors.

The box floated forgotten to the floor a few moments later as Rei held the box's content in his hands, his amber eyes shining brightly with tears.

"This is...this is beautiful! But how did you...?" he asked as he looked from his gift to the boys.

"It was Kai's idea," Tyson said with a shrug. "I personally don't think you're worth all the trouble we went through to get that made in one night," he teased.

The raven-haired boy didn't know what else to say.

In his hands sat a new hair binder, but it was different from the one his grandmother had made back in China. It was designed after his bit beast. The cloth part was white with green tiger stripes up and down the cloth, the top and bottom pieces made of gold.

Rei then flung himself to Kai, hugging him as tight as possible.

"Hey, where's our hug?" Max teased. "It was from us too!"

"You'll get yours after I'm not half naked in this hospital gown. I don't want to scare the natives!" Rei laughed, Kai smirking while the other three boys joined in the laughter.

Kenny had found a certain section of the brochure that was really interesting to him as he gained their attention. "Did you guys know that same sex couples can..."
