Drunken Behavior Chapter 2- Hangovers.
Blinking a few times, trying to comprehend Tyson's drunken nonsense, Ray almost missed Kai pulling his clenched fist back and take a shot at Tyson's left eye.
On cue, as if some evil force from above was watching over them, just to make things worst, Max came staggering back to the table.
Ray's jaw hung open as Tyson fell back into his seat, completely knocked out. Kai shook his hand, rubbing his knuckles gently and by reading Ray's facial expressions he turned around to see Max's jaw hanging as low as Ray's.
''What happened?'' Max questionned, trying to stand up straight. The swelling under Tyson's eye was already starting to show as he lay lifeless on the chair he fell back on.
''It's not what you think Max.''
The American blond pushed past Kai, barely able to walk straight and started to shake Tyson gently. The Chinese boy shook his head and closed his eyes, avoiding Max's glances at him.
''He doesn't deserve you Max.'' Kai said quietly, drawing everyone's attention towards himself.
''What?'' The bright and cheery blue eyes that Max owned were filled with tears and confusion.
''Don't cry for him Max. Just don't.'' The Russian sighed and walked around the table and picked up Tyson, placing the unconsious boy's arm around his neck.
Ray got up and helped Kai out with dragging Tyson out of the club, ignoring the looks and glances they were receiving from dancers and even the bartender with his crew of waitress's.
''I can't drive.'' Kai dug into his pocket with his free hand and pulled out a metallic blue platted cell phone. He flipped the lid open and gave it to Max to call for a taxi.
Within minutes the yellow vehicle arrived with a male drive who as well looked at them curiously.
''A bit too much to drink.'' Ray said with a wan smile and the driver nodded as he stepped on the gas and away they went.
The ride back to Kinomya/Mizuhara residence was spent in absolute silence. The cab stopped, Max payed the man the fair and the dragging commenced once again. Then the real challenge began, getting Tyson up a flight of stairs.
There wasn't much of an option, so Kai picked up Tyson bridal style, much to his personal dismay and dropped the boy rougly onto his bed. On the way back down, Ray was walking up, helping a slightly still crying Max upstairs.
''We're going to crash here tonight alright Kai?''
In Kai's language, the response 'Hn' followed by a missed step answered to Ray's offer. He lounged out on the long sofa and placed his arms behind his head, trying to see straight. Ten minutes later, give or take a few, the ebony-haired boy tossed a pillow at Kai before flopping down on the other couch across from him.
''How did it go?'' Kai asked casually, placing the pillow beneath his head and turning onto his side to face Ray.
''Tyson's not going to be drinking anytime soon and will get a bit earfull tomorrow.''
Each boy smirked and stared at each other till Ray yawned, disrupting the locking look.
''I don't think I'll be drinking again for a long while.'' An ebony bang fell over his eyes and he brushed it away.
''Ray, how are you feeling?'' Kai shifted back onto his back, looking up at the white ceiling, detailed with swirves only making him more dizzy.
''Drunk obviously.'' Ray chuckled, still unable to unglue his eyes from the sight of his former captain.
''I mean after what happened?''
''Oh...'' He trailed off in a reply, lowering his voice. ''I'm better now.'' That followed by another loud yawn.
''Let's get some sleep.''
Ray nodded and snuggled up to the pillow and closed his eyes, praying he wouldn't be hung over the next morning.
After drinking a large ammount of alcohol and going to bed the next morning is never pleasant and as Kai got up, he figured that out right away. Not even 2 minutes after he opened his sleep encrusted crimson orbs, a sudden nauteous feeling consumed his stomach that was now in his throat. He sat up quickly and dashed down the hall downstairs, passed the kitchen to the bathroom.
The door flung open, causing a ruccuss which woke up the sleeping Chinese gently purring. He lazily stretched like a cat, listening to random joints crack till the wretched sound of getting sick made it's way to his ears. His golden orbs scanned the area, at first strange to him till he remembered the passed nights activities.
Getting to his feet, Ray yawned and rubbed his eyes as he walked towards the washroom in search of a certain good looking Russian. Thankfully, his head didn't ache as bad as he thought it would after the large consumption of liquor drinks.
''Kai you alright?'' He leaned against the wall beside the ajar door to the bathroom.
His reply was a flush from the porcelain bowl followed by the stoic young adult himself, looking like hell.
''Hung over?'' Ray asked, amusement lacing his tone.
''Hn.''
Kai walked back down the hall and lay back down on the couch, squinting from the light that the blinds in front of him was letting peer inside. In the washroom, Ray did his business, flushed and stopped to wash his hands before looking in the mirror.
''Great.'' He muttered sarcastically. Bangs out of place, sticking out everywhere and that wasn't mentioning his ponytail. He guessed during the night that the clip holding the wrap on came off because his hair was flowing loosely behind him.
Just as he suspected, on the couch was the red clasp and the white material he used to wrap his lenghty locks.
He too lay back down on the other couch, placing his arm accesories on the table between them.
''It's 11:15 you know.'' Kai informed, turning onto his side to look at Ray threw half opened blurry eyes.
''It's still early.'' Ray threw an arm over his eyes, trying to block out the pestering light.
Kai closed his eyes again, going over last nights incidents. He then figured out why his hand was so sore.
''Zhopa.'' He cursed in his native tongue, causing Ray to look at him curiously.
''What did ya say?''
''Asshole.'' He informed and then immediately said Tyson so as not to give Ray the wrong impression.
Ray asked 'why?' but Kai didn't hear it since he was lost in his thoughts.
~''Get lost Hiwatari. Your loss if you didn't move in faster.''~
What was the drunken idiot trying to hint? Move in faster? I don't get it! Scolding himself mentally, he shrugged off the drunkenly spoken words.
~''Go find your own.''~
What did Tyson mean by that? Find my own? Kai's brows burrowed in his own blatant confusion.
~''Pfft, you can't even move yourself to make a move.''~
Though it suprised him he could actually remember farely clearly what the moron said, he still couldn't figure out what any of it meant.
''Ray, what did Tyson mean when he was well all over you?''
The question snapped Ray out of his obvious staring and he tried not to stutter as a blush spread across his cheeks. His golden orbs went wide for a second as he tried to formulate an answer.
''I don't know.''
Before Ray thought the awkward questions were done with Kai ensued with another.
''Are you gay?''
Almost chocking on his own breath of air, Ray sat up on the couch, looked at Kai in the eyes and spoke up hesitantly. ''Ever wonder why I never dated Mariah?''
Now that that was out in the open, Ray shifted uneasily in his seat. Kai had yet to say anything which worried him a lot.
''I kind of thought so.''
It wasn't the answer Ray was hoping for but atleast Kai spoke to him which meant he wasn't truly disgusted with him hopefully.
''Tyson obviously knows then.''
''When they got together last year, they told me first. And I told them...''
''Figures they would.''
Eyes going downcast to the suddenly interesting floor, Ray spoke up again, carefully choosing his words. ''I guess I should have told you earlier.''
''Why?''
Ray expected a nod or something along those lines from Kai but his reply caused Ray to look up at him, noticing no anger in the crimson depths, nor any sort of emotion besides a smirk playing on the pale lips. Amusement?, he thought. Why would Kai be amused? He didn't think it was very funny at all.
''You had the right to know. If your disgusted-''
Before Ray could finish, Kai got up, though he wished he hadn't because his world was still shaky and went to sit beside Ray.
''I'm not disgusted with you Ray. It's your choice really and that doesn't change anything between us.''
Without realizing it, Ray's hand lay itself gently over Kai's and he lightly squeezed on it. ''Thanks Kai. That means alot.''
But he jerked his hand back right away, afraid Kai might be weirded out or something by the small friendly gesture.
''While were on the topic of questions. Why did you punch Tyson?''
The question came to Ray when he saw the slight swelling in Kai's knuckles and the red marks.
''He didn't get 'no' for an anwser.''
''I know that, but usually when Tyson fell out of line you'd only shove him into a wall and talk to him.''
Smirking at the thought of doing that many oh so many times before, the slight grin slowly disapeared as Ray waved a hand in front of his eyes.
''Your so hung over your zoning out on me Kai-koi-...''
Catching the add on to his name, Kai looked at Ray who was suddenly fidgity. ''What did you add to my name?''
''Nothing, it meant nothing.'' Quickly, Ray tried to cover up his small slip up.
Kai let it slide, not pushing the raven-haired boy any further about that small Japanese word that he couldn't indentify.
''You didn't answer my question.'' Even if Kai persisted with the 'koi' part, Ray made sure he could cover himself since Kai hadn't responded to his question.
''I didn't like what he was doing to you..''Kai grumbled in a low tone, glancing at the floor as well. He could feel Ray stare at him. Those amber eyes were focused on him with curiosity flowing through them.
''Why?''
If the slate-haired boy had ever wanted to kick himself for ever drowning in those golden orbs it would have been just then when he was defenseless, letting those gorgeous eyes search threw his own pair of crimson enigmas.
He hadn't the need to say a word because whatever Ray was searcing for, he immediately found and smiled warmly at his discovery. That's when Ray decided to risk their friendship, putting everything on the line as he slowly leaned forward towards Kai, stopping when their lips were mean inches apart from each other.
''Ray...'' Kai's voice sounded husky from the closeness yet unsure at the same time; unsure of what was about to happen.
He wanted to shy away which was very unlike him but giving up such an oppertunity was the greatess form of stupidity of all. He had kissed people before but with Ray, someone now who he had known for so long, it just felt different.
''Kai...''
Those were all the words uttered, or possibly even thought of as the lapse between them dissipated and warm contact was made. Ray found it hard to fight off temptation and gently caressed Kai's cheek, his soft fingers trailing slowly over the ivory smooth skin. To his suprise, enjoying the touch, Kai leaned into it, slidding his tongue over Ray's lips, beging- no yearning for entrance.
Granting entrance, Ray parted his lips and let himself fall onto his back on the couch as Kai pushed him down. Just as they thought their positioning was awkward, came a voice, still sounding very much drunk.
''It's about time Kai.''
Before Tyson, sporting a new black eye could react, Kai sent a pillow flying in his direction, knocking the hung over boy onto his butt before getting back to Ray slightly underneath him.
''Kai.'' As Kai leaned back down to resume their kiss, Ray stopped him, placing his index to Kai's lips.
''Yeah?''
''So I was right about what I finally saw in your eyes?''
Nodding, Kai kissed the finger in his way before gently pressing his lips against Ray's again, hungering for the vehement kiss that had been cut abruptly short.
Weird...this didn't turn out like I had planned it too...Was that okay? Not well described? Tell me!! I need to know...I like the way it turned out...you knew Ray was gay all along but you couldn't tell with Kai...it was hinted...and I didn't want him to say it openly...so the hole eyes scene came into play...did it work?
I guess you know what's going to happen now...hang overs! *evil laugh* Which I have thankfully survived from...
