...Kai's POV...

I stare directly ahead, I don't know how long I've been sitting here, but it must have been a long time. I can see the hallway beginning to darken, 'or is it just doing that because I'm tired?' I have know idea though something tells me both of them are probably right. I know I'm tired, I can barely keep my eyes open. It's annoying, usually I would be able to easily stay awake into the early hours of the morning but now, it seems as though I have been drained of all my energy.

I should sleep, my body keeps telling me that I should but my mind doesn't want to, that would be giving in to re-living the events of this afternoon and that is something I don't want to do. I stare at what looks like the hallways wall, my visions blurring. I snap my head up and shake it slightly as a distinctive 'click' reaches my ears. I look up and down the hall as I hear retreating footsteps, however there's no one in sight, 'this could only mean...' I look up hopefully at the door handle though I remain seated, 'couldn't hurt to try...' I reach up with one hand and try it; it turns simply and quietly.

...Rei's POV...

I lie silently in bed gazing out the window at the night sky, I can feel my eye lids slowly closing. For some reason I'm at peace and the pain of Kai's rejection seems to be slowly slipping away. I don't understand though, 'is it because I know longer care for Kai or is it because I believe there's still hope?' I can't tell and find myself to tired to think about it or anything else, well maybe one thing...'do I still want Kai's love?'

...Kai's POV...

I pick up Dranzer and carefully get up off the ground and stare at the door, its unlocked I know 'but should I go in or wait out the rest of the night?' I let out a soft sigh, it's not only Dranzer who says I should go in but my heart as well. I open the door as quietly as possible as I think over how I'm supposed to explain things to Rei, I have had some time to think but not much. However there is one thing I'm curious about as I stare into the moonlit room, 'what has Rei been thinking during all this time he has had locked away in this room?'

I walk into the room before closing the door softly behind me, 'what does Rei think of me now?' sadly I know the answer to my own question wasn't going to be a positive one. I stop and stand silently as I observe the room around me. It's dark, the only light is that from the silver moon who's light streams in through the window and onto my bed. I feel myself smile slightly as I look somewhat relieved at the Chinese boy who is sleeping in my bed, 'this has got to be a positive thing...'

'Do I leave Rei to sleep or do I wake him up in hope of trying to set things straight?' I don't know the exact answer though something tells me I should let the boy sleep, if not to allow me some time to actually think things over but to also allow Rei some peace. I nod my head silently at this thought, yes, it would be best, I walk over and sit down on the edge of the spare bed watching as Rei sleeps on, especially if Rei is still hurting or enraged with me. I soon find myself staring out the window into the star-studded sky wishing that Rei would give me another chance.

I yawn and stand up slowly, I wont be able to get anything sorted out between Rei if I don't get any sleep. I pause looking down at Rei who's sleeping peacefully in my bed, I debate whether or not it would be wise to join him or not. 'Why not... it's not like things could get any worse' that's what part of me says and I listen. I crawl into bed, lying down on my side beside Rei before my arms automatically, as if by habit, wrap around Rei's slim waist, drawing him in to my chest. To my relief Rei doesn't pull away but places his hands on mine, 'maybe I do have a chance even if it's only in his subconscious mind...'

Much to my annoyance I still cant sleep, it feels like my minds debating with itself, I managed to shake off the feeling telling myself that I would get up early so as to give Rei some space.

...Rei's POV...

I open my eyes slowly to find that the sky's still dark and the stars and moon are still shinning brightly. I shift slightly feeling unusually warm and comfortable, I freeze up slightly realising that Kai's sleeping beside me, his arms wrapped protectively around my waist. I don't know what to think, my first instinct of panic is to push him out of the bed but I calm down slightly in time to think things over. For some reason I feel full of hope yet also full of doubt, I'm confused, Kai had said no when I asked him if he loved me but yet he still returns to hold me close during the night.

I roll over slightly so that I'm now facing Kai, I consider waking him up and demanding an explanation for yesterday, but I decide against it. Kai looks so peaceful it would be a pity to wake him, though the hidden bonus is the time it would give me to truly sort things out with my heart.

...Kai's POV...

I wake up and look out the window, it looks as if the sun's just beginning to rise. I would have preferred to been up earlier but there is nothing I can do about it now. I look down at Rei, he's still sleeping curled into my chest, I sigh softly before slowly and carefully sitting up. I don't want to wake him just yet. I go to get up but freeze as I feel a hand on my arm drawing me back,
"Are you just going to leave like that?"
It's Rei, I sigh and shake my head slowly in answer to his question,
"I didn't think you'd want to wake up with me beside you after yesterday," I tell him as a turn around to look at him as he opens his mouth to speak again,
"Forget...forget about what happened yesterday, I just want to know... do you love me?"
