6: Night
TigerTerror: I think the only thing seriously hurt was Kai's pride. As for what happens...
Sarcasmcat: #^_^#
sakura9566: Once he wakes up, yes. But you know how it goes - if he wakes up. ~_^
Frostt: What sort of details do you think needed to be included?
Rel: 'Winton' is Mr Winton from Eclipse, or should I say, the guy who held them all hostage at the American Tournament. In my opinion Gary is what I've termed a 'halfling' or 'halfbred'. He has neko-jin in him, but he's not completely pure. Though, if you look at G-Revolution, his ears have gone pointy too. As for the hatred toward neko-jin, I'm thinking of them in terms of 'animals', but also adding an element of the holocaust, or attitude of the Nazi's to the Jews. And yes, makes it more interesting, and is one hell of a plot twist. ~_^
Thanks for the reviews all. I know I'm trying to be different doing a Ray/Lee/Kai match-up, but maybe I can start a craze. I hope to see more of the K/L/R soon. Oh, and there's some shonen-ai in this chapter.
Disclaimer: I wish they were real. I wish I knew how to beyblade too. Have I mentioned that I don't own Beyblade?
As soon as the others were gone, a silence descended upon the room. Lee looked out across the horizon and at the darkening sky. He sighed, resting his head against the frame. So much had happened and he felt exhausted, but that last conversation had brought up memories that he just couldn't chase away.
Arms slid around him from behind as Ray rested his head on Lee's shoulder. They stood for a moment, watching the sky darken, before Ray gently kissed Lee's neck.
"You shouldn't have brought up the murder thing."
Lee sighed, leaning back into Ray's arms. "It's true."
"But your brother-"
"-died because he was a neko-jin." Lee closed his eyes. "Because he grew impatient with our village and struck out on his own."
"Much like I did."
Lee opened his eyes and looked behind him and into Ray's. "The reason the White Tigers left our village was to come looking for you. We were worried sick, but at the same time, so betrayed." He smirked, nudging an elbow into Ray's chest. "And Mariah has the biggest crush on you."
"A pity for her that I'm already taken." Ray reached up and pulled at the ribbons in Lee's hair, then brushed it free with his fingers. "So what are we going to do about Kai?"
Lee turned toward the unconscious teen and frowned. "Well, this Voltaire issue puts a whole new swing on things. At least now we know why he's so closed. We'll just have to find a way to get him to open up."
"I doubt he's ever allowed himself to love or be loved by anyone." Ray moved toward Kai, reaching out to caress his brow. "We'll have to teach him what it's like."
"Got to swing him first." Lee pulled the drapes closed, then moved to join Ray. "He was easily checking out those women, but is he interested in guys?"
Ray looked up and smirked. "Think back to the Winton episode."
Lee frowned, then smiled faintly. "He kept asking for you. You're right, he has the tendencies."
"He just needs to come out of the closet."
Lee snorted. "So do we."
Ray smiled, moving toward Lee and sliding his arms around his neck. "But I like working behind everyone's back. Besides, Gary knows."
"Yeah, Gary." Lee ran his fingers up and down Ray's spine, glancing down at Kai. "Gary only found out because he saw us back in our village."
Ray tugged at Lee's hair and raised an eyebrow. "You forget that it was also Gary that set us up in the first place."
Lee laughed. "Yeah. Sometimes I forget about that. For someone who's a little slow, thinks only with his stomach, and is purely hetro, he did a pretty good job."
Ray smiled as Lee slowly began to work his hair free. "Maybe we should get him to give us a hand with Kai."
"I don't think so. This time I want to do it on my own." Lee leant forward so that his lips brushed against Ray's and smiled. "That way I can reap the rewards knowing that I really earned them."
Ray stared into Lee's eyes, pressing up against him. "And you didn't earn me?"
"I never said that."
Ray nodded to the side. "Think he'll wake up anytime soon?"
By now Lee had succeeded in freeing Ray's hair and ran his hands through it, marvelling at its length. "I doubt he will til tomorrow."
"Yeah."
Ray pressed his lips against Lee's, pushing himself up against him as Lee tightened his hold around Ray's waist. It was hard for them to find a moment alone, and when they did, they didn't waste the opportunity. While Lee was physically stronger, Ray used his height to his advantage, pushing Lee down and back until he fell onto the bed, dragging Ray down with him.
Ray trailed his lips down Lee's neck, the other closing his eyes and sighing with pleasure, one hand holding the back of Ray's head encouraging him not to stop. Ray continued down, pushing open Lee's vest and taking one of his nipples between his teeth and nibbling gently.
Lee rested his head back against the pillow, a smile tugging at his lips. "Who said it was your turn to be dominant?"
Ray chuckled, resting his chin on Lee's chest and looking up. "I felt like it. Besides, you need some cheering up."
"Really," Lee chuckled. "Listen Tiger, my brother died so long ago I barely remember him."
"I know that Leeroy, but right now I've got the upper hand." Ray smirked. "Whether you like it, or not."
Lee frowned. "Sorry, but I do believe-"
Ray slid up the bed, pressing his mouth down on Lee's and silencing him. For a long time the only sound in the room was that of the passion filled kisses, before Ray pulled back for air. "You really talk too much sometimes."
Lee reached up, cupping Ray's face in one hand and smiling. "I know one thing you'll never get sick of me saying."
Ray kissed the tip of his nose. "And what's that?"
"I love you."
Ray smiled, kissing him again. "Yeah. I'll never get sick of that."
A bit more shonen-aiish then last time. And it feels weird to write guy/guy, as I'm so used to writing guy/girl. It's not the his/her thing more then it is what body parts are where. And for those who say Lee would dominate… well, he doesn't always, as you can see. Now, about Kai dominating…
