Chapter 11: Picture Revealed
Rei must have the picture…
Rei took the picture out of his shirt and glanced over it again, it still remained beautiful no matter how many times he looked at it. "Rei…" a voice called, Rei jumped out of his skin. Keep cool, Rei he thought to himself, he turned around to come face to face with a familiar boy.
He dropped the picture in fright, it clattered to the floor loudly, Crimson orbs angrily glared at Rei. "Explain yourself," he demanded, Rei panicked, what was he going to do? He stayed silent, "NOW!" Kai shouted, Rei took a nervous breath in as an attempt to calm himself down…
…It didn't work!
"Kai…I…" he stammered, Rei gulped, he couldn't help but have the feeling no matter what excuse he gave Kai would not relent. "You felt like snooping! Is that it?!" he accused, Rei looked shocked and horrified, he would never… but he did…
Rei bent down and picked up the picture, he stood up with the picture in his hands shakily "I'm sorry, Kai. I never meant to…" he apologized meekly. "Save it, Rei" Kai spat venomously, Rei frowned at the tone Kai spoke to him with… it wasn't very pleasant. "Kai… I…" Rei stuttered, "Wanted to ruin the only remains I have from the plane crash?!" he accused again.
"No!" Rei protested, "Kai, I didn't ruin your picture! I'm sorry I took it, I know it was wrong… I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he said beginning to sob. The other people in the house pulled a pillow over their heads and groaned trying to block the sounds of Kai and Rei fighting out… except for Mariah that is, she was leaning up against the door in an attempt to hear the argument better.
"This is great!" Mariah exclaimed, "Mariah, leave them be and go to sleep" Leddie muttered sleepily and rolled over in her bed, Mariah rolled her eyes "fine!" she pouted and jumped onto the bed again.
"Would they shut up! It is wayyyy too early in the morning to be fighting…" Kevin grumbled into his pillow, Li grunted as a response. The men of the house weren't usually active in the morning until 10am.
Kai gritted his teeth but said nothing more, he snatched his picture out of Rei's grasp and stormed off into his room leaving Rei standing in the living room alone.
Rei dropped onto the couch and cried into the pillow, tears leaked into the pillow soaking it. He never meant to hurt Kai, he never meant to make him be so angry or worry or…. He just couldn't think… he was so upset with himself. What was he thinking? Stealing Kai's possession… not a good idea at all!
Kai hugged his picture, the family in the picture smiled at him, with the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. He smiled and glanced down at it again, it was a picture of a man in his 40s, a young boy and a young girl… It was Kai's most favourite picture in the whole world! He stroked the girl's face with a finger, "I miss you…" he whispered and put the picture into his pocket.
The faint sound of sobbing came to Kai's ears, he who it was… it was Rei. He blocked the sound out, why should he care if Rei is crying anyway, huh? As much as he tried Kai could no longer ignore the boys crying, he rose to his feet and walked into the living room standing above where Rei lay crying. "Rei…" Kai knelt next to Rei, Rei turned his face away and buried it into the pillow, he didn't want Kai to see him now.
Kai took the tear-sodden pillow from underneath Rei's face, "Stop crying Rei…" he said quietly to Rei, "…please" he pleaded. Kai wasn't good with crying people, he never was because he was not a people person… ever…
Rei immediately stopped crying, "Rei, I have something to tell you…" he began, Rei nodded and listened intently…
