The ruthless slamming of a door vibrated throughout the duplex. Inquisitive golden eyes looked up from their probing in the fridge and locked with the red head pacing back and forth in the kitchen.
"Should I even ask?" Rei asked, quirking an eyebrow to the fuming Tala.
"I seriously hate that bastard. I cant believe the hell he put me through! He has asked me to work overtime the third time this week and wouldn't even consider my suggestion of a raise."
Rei had secluded himself once more in the fridge, hiding his giggles. Tala's face almost matched his hair.
"So, I assume you finally quit the job?" Rei replied with a humorous tune.
"No....I got fired" Tala sighed defeated, "I just had to open my big mouth. Jesus Christ I hate that man. I told him that I wouldn't work another hour of overtime unless I got a raise, and well Mitch-sama just said, "Then work somewhere else"."
Rei peeked up over the fridge and smirked.
"Wipe that damn smirk off your face kitty cat. This is not a laughing matter. I'm already behind on my rent payments."
"Well, Tala dear, I hate to tell you I told you so." Rei laughed then took out the pitcher of ice tea closing the fridge door. "But, I told you so. You're lucky Kai isn't here to kick your ass." Rei laughed again.
Tala moaned.
"Oh god, I can't face the wrath of Kai right now. What time will he be home anyways?" Tala ran his shaking fingers through his fiery red hair and sighed slumping into a chair.
Rei sat on the opposite of Tala, still smirking.
"Eight sharp."
Tala moaned even louder then before.
"You know Tala, you could always just attempt a job at the BO."
Tala grimaced. It wasn't uncommon for Tala to loose his monthly jobs. It also wasn't unusual for the ever persistent Rei to get him to join the workforce of the BBA. Rei and Kai both worked at the new and improved abbey turned orphanage. Children were educated and participated in various extra-curricular activities, including beyblading. All was funded by the BBA.
And of course it always came back to when Tala first worked there. Little to say, Tala wasn't good with children. He was asked to baby-sit the younger orphans who weren't able to partake in any of the activities. The children had tied him to a chair, ripped his favorite black sweater, and almost burned his hair if Mr. Dickinson hadn't come in on time.
"I know, I know. I just feel like the first time was enough. And please deal with Kai when he gets home. He always listens to you anyways kitty cat. And I know you just love talking to him." Tala smirked, winked then laughed at the rose color rising in Rei's cheeks.
"Yeah, and I told you to forget about that secret I told you when I was beyond a delirious drunk." Rei replied harshly as he took a drink of his tea.
"How could I ever forget that night?" Tala giggled.
Of course Tala never forgot a night like that. It was Rei's eighteenth birthday in which Tala threw a gigantic birthday and invited all the teams. Tala also couldn't forget the alcohol that he picked up on his way home. He never saw Tyson run so fast in his life when the bluenette threw up on Kai's pants. It took Robert, Max, Bryan, and himself to tear Kai away from murdering Tyson He also had gotten Rei so drunk, but then later felt guilty when Rei had told him a very big secret.
Rei wasn't only gay, but in love with his best friend. Tala, ever since then, had been dropping hints to Kai that a certain someone liked him....a lot. But since Kai was an obstinate guy, he only shrugged it off and went back to teaching the art of beyblading. Always with the beyblading. It was harder for Rei, though, since he worked alongside Kai almost everyday. Tala had pledged since that day that he would try to bring the two together. Tala grinned thinking of his next plan to get the two together. He just knew Kai was harboring feelings for the neko-jin. He always caught Kai staring when he thought no one was looking.
"You know Tala, if you're really hurting that bad on rent right now, I have a worthy proposal."
Tala raised his eyes and eyebrows coaxing Rei to continue.
"I have a good friend back in China who desperately wants to leave the village. We, Kai, you, and me, also still have that extra room upstairs. I thought we could kill two birds with one stone. Invite my friend up here to stay and to pay a fourth of the rent. That will at least take some tribulations off your back for awhile."
Tala sighed. "Yeah, that would help but I honestly don't think Kai would be willing to do that. He doesn't trust easily especially when it's some new stranger."
Rei shrugged then laughed, "Like you said, he listens to me."
Tala smirked and was about to say thank you when he heard the door open. Rei saw a flash of red a blue scamper up the stairs, tripping the whole way until he heard two doors shut simultaneously.
He felt fine, that is, until Kai walked in with his ever relentless daunting scowl on his face.
It looked like Kai had a ghastly day at work.
This was going to be complicated.
