Bright Side

Thunder and lighting clapped as the rain fell. The storm did not seem to calm. A loud rumble of thunder woke the Russian red head. He sat up and looked down to

the side. The younger boy asleep beside him looked as if he was having a nightmare. The red head reached out his arm to wake the other boy.

"Kai........wake up........it's me, Tala."

Tala soon found himself staring into crimson eyes full of fear and sadness. Tala's eyes softened towards Kai. "You okay, Kai?"

"No, I never have been, neither have you. We both know it."

What Kai said was the truth. As much as they wanted or tired, the couldn't forget their horrible childhood. It was still haunting them everyday. Tala sighed and pulled

Kai into a sitting position.

"Kai......I know we've had a rough childhood... but, you've gotta at least look on the bright side. We've got a new life, no Boris or Voltaire."

He pulled Kai into a hug. "How about I go make us some hot chocolate, it'll help you relax."

"I want coffee" Tala stared at Kai and shook his head.

"Too bad, your getting hot chocolate." Tala laughed as Kai pouted, and walked away. Kai laid back down and began to ponder about what Tala had said.

'Bright side...?' Kai turned the small lamp on and looked at the picture on the nights stand. It was a picture of the Demo. Boys & the Bladebreakers. Bryan was

holding Rei close to him while Tala was leaning down kissing Kai on the corner of his mouth. Spencer had Ian on shoulders. The rest of the Bladebreakers stood beside the three couples. Mainly looking at Tala, Kai, Bryan, and Rei. Of corse, they just found out they were together....so they were...quite surprised.

Kai chuckled, 'The looks on their faces that day were priceless. Tala's right...our lives are a lot better....this is the Bright side..'

Tala walked back in carrying two mugs.

"Here you go Kai." Kai accepted the mug and looked up at Tala.

"Your right.....there is a bright side."

Tala set his mug, as well as Kai's, down, and smirked.

"Of corse I am." he stood Kai up from the bed. "Did you actually think that I, Tala Ivanov, was wrong?" He placed his hands on Kai waist and pulled him close.

Kai rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around Tala's neck. Before Kai could say what he wanted, Tala kissed him. Kai automatically let Tala in and dominate.

After a while, they stopped, breathless. "Of corse you didn't think I was wrong because, this is the Bright Side." and He pulled Kai into a bruising kiss.

AN- ;;; well....I dunno if ya'll will like it, but hey...I was bored...and yes...I was on my Tala/Kai craze...erm...again. XD Well, review please.
