Show me the meaning of being lonely…

So many words…for the broken heart…

It's hard to see…in a crimson love…

So hard to breathe…walk with me and maybe…

Nights of life…will soon become…

Wild and free…I can feel the sun…

Your every wish will be done they tell me.

Rei woke up a little uneasy that night. He sat up on the edge of his bed, watching the moonlight shine through the window for a few minutes. His gaze eventually turned to the still figure that lied on the bed next to his. Kai. Every night before Kai had left the room to trained at a spot he wouldn't tell anyone about. Rei knew where it was though. It was at nearby lake, most likely where all the rocks were. Rei smiled as he saw Kai's strong body rise and fall with his every breathe.  The pain of not being with him began again…

Show me the meaning of being lonely;

Is this the feeling I need to walk with?

Tell me why…I can't be there where you are…

There's something missing in my heart…

The urge to hold him and awake him with a long kiss was overwhelming…

Kai had changed since their fist meeting, but not that much. Rei reached for the white scarf that hung over a chair and embraced it. He closed his eyes as he began to kiss a smell the fabric. Kai's scent was so wonderful to him. The scent of salt water that had sprayed him during his training and a hint of sweat and the fragrance of the trees he passed through to get to the lake. Rei sighed as he thought he would never hold more to him than this cold piece of fabric. Rei pulled the scarf closer to him as he watch Kai sleep. Tears began to run down his cheeks as Rei revealed his deepest secret, "I love you, Kai…" he said softly, "..I love you…"  

Life goes on…as it never ends…

Eyes of stone…observe the trend…

They never say…forever gaze if only…

Beauty rose…to an endless love…

There's no control…are you with me now?

Your every wish…will be done they tell me…

The next morning Kai watched Rei pack his bag. The Bladebreakers were declared world champion the day before and everyone would be going there separate ways. Kai acted like he was staring out the window, but in fact he was paying close attention to Rei's every move. He wanted to tell Rei how he felt…before it was too late…but how? Kai knew how he felt, but would Rei return the feeling? Kai had never been so confused in his whole life. Kai couldn't bare the thought of rejection…

There's something missing in my heart!

Rei was so beautiful, it hurt not being with him…but the fear of not trying hurt just as much. Kai had been though much pain before, but being with Rei…it eased his pain. Kai realized now that he wanted to be with Rei. Not just be in the same room with him, but be with him. As in Share their lives together. But how could he tell Rei how he felt? He had to tell him…before it was too late.

"Rei…I…" Kai began

"Is something wrong, Kai?" Rei asked smiling at him.

"God Rei! Why are you doing this to me?!" Kai exclaimed shutting his eyes tightly as he groaned, "Damnit Rei…I love you!!"

There's no where to run. I have no place to go.

Surrender my heart, body, and soul.

How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show?

A soft light from the sun had created an almost heavenly glow in the room. Rei starred at Kai for a moment, processing what Kai had just said.

You are missing in my heart…

"I…I knew you didn't…feel the same…." Kai groaned as he turned to leave.

Tell me why can't I be there where you are?

"Kai…" Rei said grabbing his wrist, "I…I do…I love you too…"

Show me the meaning of being lonely,

Is this the feeling I need to walk with?

Tell me why…I can't be there where you are…

There's something missing in my heart!

No words were able to describe or express the feelings and sensations filling them. The boys eyes met as hopeful, yet shy, smiles were exchanged. Rei put his arms around Kai's waist, pulling him closer to him as Kai wrapped his arms around Rei's neck. They stared into each others eyes as there lips met.

Show me the meaning of being lonely

Is this the feeling I need to walk with?

Tell me why…I can't be there where you are…

There's something missing in my…heart.

Kai abandoned himself in Rei's arms as his tongue slid into Rei's warm inviting mouth. Rei's response was very willing as he ran his hands up and down Kai's back.

"KAI!!! WAKE UP!!!" Tala shouted.
