Rimnerel: Okay everyone, this is the chapter that a few of you have been
waiting for. And as long as it took me to make a perfectly good chapter, I
hope you all like it.
Tala: You better not have. . .
Rimnerel: You'll find out in this chapter. Okay, I want to thank Jay Kamiya, B. Tiamat Atardercer, Raven Star, Merodi, AngrySoul, and anyone else I've forgotten. As a note, I've had to remove the lemon half of this chapter because ff.net went crazy, sorry everyone for promising a lemon and not putting it in. Blame ff.net.
Tala (glaring): Bastards. The whole lot of them, well guess we'll be having ship our work else where now.
Rimnerel: Might as well take this one to aff.net then.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kenny trudged up the steps to his room; weariness in every step he took. The day had went from good to. . .chaos. That was the only way the male could describe it. After all, Tala broke his promise to be good. Technically he broke his promise. Kenny had to remember the red head did not mention one thing about their roller coaster relationship. But that was not the real point. Tala had showed his ass. Hilary would probably kill him if they crossed paths again.
Then no more than half an hour later, Zeo proclaims he was interested in Kenny and would not let Tala have him so easily. Kenny was sure his feelings for Tala were unbreakable, but the way Zeo had said it. The way he spoke, his eyes, and his presence shook Kenny right down to the bone. The male was so sure, so certain of what he felt for Kenny, unlike Tala. The fact that Zeo was right about someone else stealing his heart from Tala scared Kenny.
He did not want to stop liking Tala for a very selfish reason.
*Maybe loving him in the first place without a decent thought on his end is selfish. Maybe I'm thinking about this in the wrong light. I'll ask Dizzi her opinion. *
Pulling his bedroom key from out of his pocket, Kenny inserted it into the keyhole. Turning the lock, Kenny pushed the door open. Inside his room he found his computer on, a game of Solitaire going. Kenny smiled weakly, too tired to force a wider smile upon his lips. Closing the door behind him, the brunette Bladebreaker tossed his bag to the other side of the room. The bag landed next to a chair.
Making his way to his bed, the young man flopped down on it. "Hi Dizzi. You winning?"
"Chief, what's wrong? You're not your usual chipper self. Tala being more of a bitch today than usual?" Dizzi remarked.
"You have no idea," Kenny groaned, laying back. His hair slipped out of his eyes as the male stared up at the ceiling. "Today had to be the most horrendous day ever."
"That bad?" Dizzi queried.
"You have no idea. I took Hilary and Zeo with me to visit---"
"Zeo? You mean green haired Zeo, who adores and idolizes Tyson down to acting like him half the time? That Zeo Nakano?" Dizzi replied. "When did he come back into town? I thought he was travelling with his aunt."
"He was," Kenny said. "He and his aunt came back in town and he's going to the same school as Hilary, Tyson, Max, and I. Both Max and Tyson were nowhere to be found today so they have no clue about his arrival."
"You know where those two went off to," Dizzi said in one of her tones associated with Max and Tyson's prurient habits. "So, you decided to take Hilary and Zeo to see Tala? So, what happened?"
"Within the first twenty minutes me and Zeo had to literally drag Hilary out the room to keep her from killing Yuri. He refused to behave and we left. Hilary spent fifteen minutes complaining about how much of an asshole he is and how I should have put my foot up his ass a long time ago. Then she left to vent at home," Kenny said, a frown forming right between his brows.
"I'm guessing it has more to it than that," Dizzi replied. "Of course it's bad about Hilary, but there's more. Something that has to do directly with you." Dizzi could tell the moment he walked in.
"There is more," Kenny said in a low sigh. "Zeo." The words kept going on, repeating and echoing in his head. Something about the way Zeo said it made him so uncertain about what he was sidling with Tala.
"Chief?"
"After Hilary left. . .Zeo. . .he told me that he wasn't about to give me up to Tala without a fight. He likes me, Dizzi and I don't know what to do about it," Kenny whined.
"You're uncertain now about how you feel for Tala?"
"I. . .I don't know."
"You know, when you have to second-guess your heart, you're not really in love with that person," Dizzi replied.
"Don't say that!" Kenny sat up, staring at this computer with wide halfway hidden eyes. "I'm not trying to do that."
"But you are having second thoughts about Tala and what if you decide to fall in love with Zeo, aren't you?" Dizzi said. "You know it's normal for that sort of response at your age. It's your first crush; you're not expected to stay devoted to someone who treats you like crap half the time. You have a choice about who you want to love. It's not Tala's decision. If he wants to be an asshole and continue like that for eternity let him. Your happiness is first."
Kenny looked down at his hands. "But I don't want to be selfish. Love shouldn't be."
"But sometimes Chief love is," Dizzi stated. "What's more selfish than loving one person is never giving someone willing to love you a chance. That is more painful than anything in the world. If Tala cares any, he will see his mistakes in how he treats you."
"So you're saying I should give Zeo a chance by meeting him in the park tomorrow?" Kenny asked, uncertain if this was the best decision to make. He didn't want to hurt Tala in any way possible if he were to find out. Tala had suffered enough by now. "But Dizzi---"
"Being selfish in the matters of love are not always bad. It's healthy. I don't want you to miss out on a chance to be happy, if that's what Zeo's offering you," Dizzi remarked. "Give it some thought." Before Kenny said a word, his computer shut itself off. The room fell silent as Kenny stared at the black computer screen. Was Dizzi right? Should he give it thought?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Zeo nervously twisted his braid as he waited to see if Kenny would make an appearance. All night he had been too nervous to sleep, thinking of the positive and negative outcomes of the day. What ifs roamed though his head. What if Kenny decided to come? What if he didn't show up? What if Kenny hated him? What if. . .
"What if," Zeo repeated to himself out loud. He turned his green eyes to the sky. "What if this is the only shot of happiness I ever get?" He had never expected to like Kenny this much. A year ago he had noticed the male, but his attention was on Tyson. Of course once he found out about Tyson and Ray, Zeo quickly backed up. Now that he came back, Zeo recognized where his attention should have been.
What if this was his one and only shot to be happy in life? He was not about to sit back and let it go even if Kenny was in love with someone already. Seeing the way Tala acted, Zeo wasn't about to stay away. Kenny deserved to be treated like the angel he was. If Tala couldn't see it, he didn't deserve what was practically being handed to him. Zeo would not feel bad either about taking it away.
Zeo looked down at his watch once more. It was now 2:05. By the minute Zeo's nerves were shattering. About time Kenny made it, if he decided to come, Zeo's nerves would be rubber. Maybe he should stop dreaming and go home. This was not about to be his chance to find love. Knowing Kenny he must have made up his mind last night not to come. If he did, it would only be to tell Zeo that it wouldn't work, his heart was solely Tala's, and all they could ever be was friends. Maybe he was a fool for thinking things could be more.
"What if. . ." Zeo whispered, closing his eyes to the world. "What if, what if, what if, what if. . ."
"What if what?" Zeo nearly jumped out of his skin as he spun around to find Kenny standing there. His head titled to one side with curiosity in the partly hidden blue eyes.
"You gave me a heart attack," Zeo breathed. "I didn't hear you walk up."
"I'm sure you wouldn't with such contemplating and sad eyes. What were you thinking about that seemed to cause you to lose yourself?" Kenny inquired. After thinking about it half the night, Kenny realized that he could not leave Zeo like that. Dizzi was right, Zeo should be given a chance. And maybe with the male there, Kenny could figure out where his heart really belonged.
"I thought you wouldn't come. I was about to give up and go home. I just kept thinking about what ifs," Zeo said honestly. He looked at Kenny brushing his hair aside. "You did come because you wanted to, and not because of any obligations about how I felt?"
"I want to figure out my heart," Kenny admitted. "And because I wanted to."
"Really?" Zeo could not be any happier than he was now. "I promise Kenny I won't---" Kenny placed a finger to his lips, shaking his head. Removing his finger, a smile curled his lips into a warm sight of assurance.
"I don't want you to promise me anything but that we won't regret the time we spend together today. Let's just have a good time, okay," Kenny said.
"All right then. So where shall we go first?" Zeo grinned, his heart ten pounds lighter and floating on air.
"You decide."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You know it's a nice day." Tyson walked beside Ray as the two head downtown. Ray had managed to talk Tyson into venturing outside while they had the day off from school. Tyson had of course protested, saying he would rather stay inside the whole day and have Ray screw him for several hours.
"Ray turned his topaz eyes on his boyfriend with a wide smile. "That's why I insisted we get out of my house and do something."
"You know, I still like my suggestion," Tyson grinned. "I found nothing wrong with it whatsoever."
"Of course you don't, tiring me out is you personal hobby," Ray chuckled. "I doubt you have no other mission in life than that." He watched Tyson nod rapidly to his response. Ray shook his head a little. "I swear, what am I going to do with you Tyson Kinomiya."
"Love me, kiss me, and screw me until I tell you when to stop," Tyson chimed.
"Which will be never," Ray added in. With a playful shake of his head, Ray placed a kiss on the top of the blue haired young man's head. "You know, we should go find out what the other's are doing."
"Well knowing Kai, he's doing what we should be," Tyson remarked. "He has a bigger appetite when it comes to sex than I do."
"You and Max sharing war stories now?" Ray smirked.
"Only when we have nothing to do," Tyson said.
""I swear. I 'm so glad Kenny's not like you and Max, or I would have to worry."
"Oh, didn't you know, Chief's a closet freak. He's not going to let you know either," Tyson stated. Ray looked at him with amused eyes. "You don't believe me huh? I'm telling you he has his eyes on someone. It would not surprise me if he gets more than Max and me put together. Why do you think he always declined to go with us places after training?"
Now that Ray thought about it, when was the last time all five of them were together? Kenny would always decline their offers to hang out. Could it be that Tyson was right or could it be something else? Ray had never seen Kenny with anyone since he and Tyson became a couple. "Tyson."
"What?" The blue haired young man looked up at his boyfriend seeing a change in the male's topaz eyes.
"Have you ever seen Kenny with anyone other than us or Hilary?" Ray inquired. "I was just thinking that the reason he always declined our offers is in order to not be a fifth wheel."
"What are you talking about?"
"Think about it. He could come with us but he always says he has something at home to do. He has something at home to do. He's never with anyone else, but us. I think he considers himself the fifth wheel," Ray stated.
"But he would---"
"You know that's not like Chief. He doesn't want us to worry about him so he doesn't say much."
"That can't be it," Tyson protested.
"Why can't it be?" Ray asked.
"Because he's right there," Tyson pointed. Sure enough, as Ray shifted his gaze to where his boyfriend was pointing he spotted Kenny with a slightly taller male with long green hair walking with him, a huge smile across his lips. Ray blinked several times before realizing why the male seemed familiar.
"Zeo." When had Zeo returned in town? "Kenny and Zeo, I would have never guessed."
"Hey! You two!" Tyson shouted with a wide wave. Both males caught sight of Ray and Tyson, heading over toward them. A huge smile lit up on Tyson's face. "Long time no see!"
"Exactly. I thought you two would be having a tumble in bed today," Zeo beamed.
"Watch it kid," Tyson warned teasingly. "It was too nice to stay inside. So we decided to head out. So when did you come back so I know how long to beat your head in for not coming to see me?"
"Not long. My aunt decided I should get my education here and came back. I tried to find you, but Chief said you didn't want to be found. So I hung out with him instead of you," Zeo replied.
"So, how about we hang out now?" When Zeo shook his head, Tyson gave him a funny look. "Why not?"
"Because me and Chief were heading off for the arcades."
"You and Chief?" Ray repeated.
"Yeah. I mean it wouldn't be a date if you two tagged along with us. See you later!" Both Bladebreakers' mouths dropped open as Zeo pulled the brunette away from them. Two pairs of eyes could only watch as the brunette and Zeo went off. Once they were out of sight, their eyes met with shock.
"We didn't just hear that did we?" Tyson asked.
A smile formed on Ray's lips as he nodded. "I guess I shouldn't worry about him after all. Seems Zeo has everything under control with Kenny's lack of a love life. Come on let's get going."
"I'm so going to tease those two when next I see them. The sly dog! I have a feeling that green haired imp lied to me. So Zeo's the person he recently met up with again. I have the nerve to skin them both for not telling me," Tyson remarked.
"Let's leave them alone, they're enjoying themselves. Come on, let's go see a movie," Ray smiled, pulling his boyfriend along as he started to walk. Ray was happy that Kenny had found someone, it put him at ease towards his previous thoughts. (Too bad he really didn't know the whole story behind his friend.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rimnerel: Okay, I just thought about this, and realized that this chapter is way too long and I'm going to have to break it up into two parts. Don't worry, I'm still going to release them both on the same day.
Tala: And when did you decide that this chapter was too long? When you and your sister switched off on writing it? Or while typing it?
Rimnerel: Both actually. Now let's get to work on the next half. See you next chapter!
Tala: You better not have. . .
Rimnerel: You'll find out in this chapter. Okay, I want to thank Jay Kamiya, B. Tiamat Atardercer, Raven Star, Merodi, AngrySoul, and anyone else I've forgotten.

Rimnerel: Both actually. Now let's get to work on the next half. See you next chapter!
