Chapter 2: Deep in Desire
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Max's P.O.V.~
When Rei looked at me, I felt my heart do a back flip, but why? Why did I suddenly get that feeling? I had always liked Rei, but like a brother. This is crazy, I mean, I'm a guy and so is he. But he's so... I can't even describe what he is or the way he makes me feel. I just kept eating my toast, pretending to read the comics in the newspaper that was lying on the table in front of me. Kai stood up, his arms still crossed. "I'm going to the gaming room downstairs, maybe there's a Blade Dish down there." With that, he strolled out of the room, Kenny following, so he could record Kai's battle, should he find an opponent. That left Tyson, Rei and me in the room. "I think I'm gonna go read a magazine." I told the other two boys, not wanting to watch Tyson eat for another hour. Rei nodded to show he'd heard me, but Tyson merely grunted, but that could have been because he was ripping a sausage with his teeth hungrily. I stood and walked out of the room. Once back in my own room, I went to my nightstand, where my Blading magazines, and other magazines, were stacked. I pulled a teen magazine from the pile. One title caught my eye: 'Looking for Love? Some Tips on Getting Your Crush to Notice You.' I don't know why that title had grabbed me. I didn't have a crush, well maybe that's not quite so true, but that article couldn't help me. I put the magazine down on the nightstand again, walking over to the stereo on the other side of the room. "âªForfeit the game before somebody else, takes you out of the frame and puts your name to shame, cover up your face you can't run the race, the pace is too fast you just won't last... âª" Linkin Park's 'Points of Authority' song filled the room. I had to keep it down, because it is, after all, a hotel.
~Rei's P.O.V.~
Watching Tyson eat could make anyone lose their appetite. I grimaced as he shovelled spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. I excused myself from the room by saying I wanted to go for a walk on the beach. I left the room, leaning on the door with a sigh once I'd stepped back into the hallway. A waiter of some kind tipped his hat to me as he past me. I nodded, unsure of the gesture. I could hear music coming from the room I shared with Max. Linkin Park, I love that band. I started to hum along with the band, still leaning on Tyson's door. I heard a small creak as the door I was leaning on opened. I fell back onto Tyson's feet. "I thought you were going for a walk." He said, looking down at me in surprise. I smiled sheepishly, using a break dancing move to get back to my feet. I dusted myself off as Tyson locked the door of his room, looking at me with raised eyebrows, before he set of down the hall. I sighed. I wanted a cold shower badly. I knocked lightly on my room door, waiting for Max to answer. When he didn't, I turned the knob, pushing the door open. Max was lying on my bed, since it was closer to the stereo, with his head resting on his arms. His eyes were closed and his breathing was light. He must have been tired to fall asleep again. I tried not to make to much noise as I walked into the bathroom. I took a towel from the cupboard and turned on the water in the bathtub. Once it has reached the temperature I wanted, I turned the knob to start the shower and undressed. I stepped behind the shower curtain and let the cool water rush over me. I shook me head, throwing my wet hair from my eyes. I suddenly wondered if I'd remembered to lock the bathroom door. And suddenly I didn't care. A part of me wanted Max to walk in. I shook my head harder, trying to keep the thought away. No, I'm not gay, I will not think of that. I mentally kicked myself. I poured some shampoo into my hands, smoothing my hair back out of my eyes, lathering the scented soap through my fields of black hair.

I groaned as I woke up again. I was on Rei's bed, opps. I could hear the shower running. Rei must be back. I flopped back on the bed, the music from the stereo washing over me. The shower turned off, but I still didn't look up. I only looked up when I heard the door of the bathroom open. Rei came out with his clothes in his arms, with only a tower wrapped around his waist. I'm not sure who was more surprised: him or me.
