WHAT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
I have no idea how long I sat there, huddled against the back wall to Tyson's house. My throat felt incredibly dry and I kept swallowing in an effort to remove the gigantic lump that seemed to have settled there. My efforts were in vain though because as the air cooled and the sun lent itself to evening I still felt the urge; the need to cry was still there. I hauled myself to my feet and made the effort to stumble through the back door and I wandered into the kitchen and plonked myself down in one of the dining chairs. I rested my arms on the counter and lent forward, pressing my heated cheek to the cool surface. I felt uncomfortably hot, and I knew it wasn't the weather. Every time I thought about how Tyson's fingertips had flittered across my lips I was overcome with an intense - longing.
I had come to the conclusion that one reason as to why I was so disappointed when I had opened my eyes and realised that Tyson had gone, was that I wanted something from our encounter that just hadn't happened. If Tyson had wanted to kiss me, when I was pressed flat against the side of his house, then I would have let him.
But what confused me most was I was torn between intense disappointment that the kiss didn't happen and hurt that he hadn't wanted it as much as me, since he pulled away and finally disgust with myself that I wanted my team mate, one of my only friends, a beautiful boy to kiss me.
~
I sat there huddled next to one of my best friends. I could hear him whispering to me, but I couldn't concentrate. His scent was tantalizing and I felt like I couldn't breathe. His raven hair was brushing against my naked arm. The feather light caress making me shiver, my eyes finally came back into focus and I could see his golden eyes dancing with mirth and shimmering with barely contained excitement.
"It's perfect."
"Huh," I managed to splutter.
"My plan."
"Ah," I was in trouble, I had no idea what the plan was, "Uh, can you run it past me again?"
He looked at me curiously, "Why? Were you not paying attention to me?"
"Oh I was. To you though not to what you were saying."
He blushed profoundly and I gasped and flushed when I concluded that I must have said that out loud.
"I - oh - I mean....."
He leaned closer to me then. "You see something you like?" he whispered in my ear. I shivered unable to control the burst of desire that flooded my veins.
"Oh - I......wow look at the sky, it's getting late. We had better get back," I muttered. Standing up quickly I started to walk off.
"Hey, wait up Maxie."
I felt guilty for almost running off on him so I slowed my pace until he caught up.
"I'm sorry Max; I didn't mean to - uh - make you feel uncomfortable."
I looked at him then, his head bowed, a picture of guilt.
"No no, it's ok Rei. Let's go implement your plan."
"Ok," he smiled at me.
"But you're going to have to explain it to me again."
"Sure Maxie," he laughed, he took me by the hand and we raced away into the night; heading home - to Tyson's house.
As we neared the block on which Tyson's place stood we slowed to a walk.
"So you know what you have to do?"
"Yeah I understand. But why don't you do it?"
"Cause Kai knows that you are closer to Tyson. He'll feel more threatened."
"If you're sure?"
"Oh I am," he smirked then.
I shivered as I watched his lips curl over. I wanted to know what it would feel like to have those lips on my skin. Teasing me, pleasuring me, taunting me.
"You ready?"
"Yep," I grinned at him
We walked into the foyer, discarded our shoes and coats and wandered into the kitchen.
"Kai, what in the hell!" I burst out.
"Aiya!" he yelled. He bolted upright, his chair falling backwards with the force in which he stood up.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" came a voice floating down the hall. Two seconds later Tyson appeared in the hallway opening. His hair free of it's binding, was mused and tangled, sticking up at weird angles. His eyes were bleary and there were marks on his cheek that indicated he had been asleep. I turned to Rei and raised an eyebrow. He seemed just as surprised as I was that Kai's yell had brought Tyson back from the dead. He generally sleeps through anything and everything.
"Kai are you alright?" he asked breathlessly.
I turned back to Kai who was staring with his mouth open. I turned back to Tyson and realised that he was ogling at Tyson's exposed chest. It was a wonderful sight if I don't say so myself, but I couldn't help wonder if we had missed something this afternoon. I nudged Rei and he saw what I was looking at and he snickered.
The sound seemed to pull Kai out of his staring fest, "Uh - I'm fine Tyson. These two," he pointed to me and Rei, "They just startled me that's all."
"Oh ok."
"Want some dinner guy?"
"Yes!" came Tyson's exuberant reply, "I am starving."
"Sure," muttered Kai.
"I'll help you Max."
"Good."
We bustled around the kitchen and Tyson and Kai returned to the room that they shared. I heard the bathroom door close and I can only presume that one of them was having a shower.
"Did you see the look on Kai's face as Tyson's open shirt?"
"Yeah! I swear he was going to start drooling."
We laughed at the image that those words conjured. About twenty minutes later Rei called Kai and Tyson to dinner, we had made Mac and Cheese.
I spooned out the helpings and then took my place next to Rei, opposite Tyson. I smiled at him and he returned the gesture. "So what happened after Kai cancelled training this afternoon?"
Kai choked on his dinner and Tyson blushed, "Eh, nothing happened Max. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, no reason. I was just wondering what you did after we all left."
"Nothing," Tyson reaffirmed.
But his heated cheeks matched with Kai's own rosy hue wavered my trust in his words. Something had happened, and I wanted to know what it was. I would find out one way or another.
"It's delicious Max."
I turned to glare at Rei. How dare he change the subject, therefore saving the other two from my line of enquiry.
"Yes, it's very nice. Thank you."
Kai ate the rest of his meal in silence and then excused himself. Without waiting for a reply he left the kitchen and retreated to his room.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked.
"I dunno," answered Tyson, but I caught the worried look in his eyes.
I watched in muted disgust as Tyson scoffed down the rest of his dinner and hurriedly excused himself and after dumping his plate in the sink and rinsing it with water took off down the hall after Kai.
I looked at Rei, who grinned at me.
"This is going to work perfectly."
I could only nod. They were perfect for each other and oh so cute together. I finished my meal and took the plates to the sink and began to wash up. Rei came to my side and picked up the dish towel and began wiping. If I had looked at him I knew that he would be wearing a contented grin that mirrored my own.
~
"Kai, open the door," I whispered.
There was no answer, no movement, no nothing from the other side of the door.
I tried the door knob only to find that it was locked. My jaw dropped, he had locked me out, of my own room. Ok our room, but that was besides the point. I knocked twice and waited, again I was met with silence.
"Kai," I growled, "Open this door right this instant."
That's when I heard a slight shuffling behind the closed door.
"Kai! I am warning you if you do not open this door right now I will break it down I swear," I bit out. My voice dangerously low in my effort to keep from pounding on the door and yelling.
There was only silence and I sighed heavily, "Fine that's it." I took a step back and squared my shoulders intending to ram the door down. I shut my eyes and leapt forward. I waited for the inevitable pain to shoot up my arm, but none came. I was free falling. "Ahhhhh," a hoarse scream escaped my lips. I crumpled to the ground. I lay there for a second or two before launching myself back up into a standing position. I whipped around and glowered at Kai who was just staring at me in shock.
"What are you doing?"
"What did you do that for?"
We asked our questions at the same time and I couldn't help but laugh. He smiled at me and my heart beat sped up.
"I'm sorry Kai, I was just worried. Are you all right? You left dinner quickly."
'I'm fine."
"Kai," I warned.
His face flushed when he remembered last time he had put on his bravo. "I really am ok Tyson. I just - I was remembering and I....."
"Oh - um about that Kai, I apologize. I got out of hand. I never meant to put up into a situations where you weren't comfortable."
"No, it's not that..."
"Forget it happened, ok Kai? It's in the past. In fact it never happened," I turned my back on him and changed my clothes quickly, pulling on a pyjama shirt and sliding off my pants to reveal my boxers. I was ready for bed; I climbed in between the sheets and closed my eyes. "Good night Kai."
"Night."

A/N: Well it's kinda short and kinda, ok, very boring, but I promise the next chapter will be better^^ I swear it is seven pages long -_-;;;
I would like to thanks Ranma, Glay, FireKali, Vialana, ChainedFire and Jen for their various help in writing this chapter. And especially to Glay who gave me the idea for the scheme that Max and Rei will attempt to implement in the following chapters.
Be safe

Have a Happy New Year^^
