...Tala's POV...

Kai remains quiet but I soon feel his fingers running softly through my hair.
"I don't know why Rei's here any more... I don't remember even wanting to bring him here," Kai tells me in a slightly fazed out way... almost like he was trying to remember something lost long ago... I sit up drawing my knees to my chest and folding my arms over them as I watch him, part of me wants to know every single detail but another, quieter, part of me suggests that maybe I'd be happier if I didn't. However what Kai had said about them not being together silences that quieter voice and I wait patiently to see if Kai wished to continue; he did.

"It was after I had mailed you your postcard I had promised... the reunion had been a drag consisting mainly Tyson pigging out on food and them talking about what they called the 'good times' when we had been a team. I was bored out of my brain, and missing you as well, so I spent most of my time looking for something to take my mind off you; I guessed I made it a little too obvious what was on my mind." Kai stops, his eyes softening for a brief instance before he grimaces.
"... I hadn't even known Rei was gay until he showed up in my room dressed in a seductive pair of leather pants like that you saw him in tonight... I ... I don't know what was happening... " Kai stops then suddenly rolls over, I'm concerned, Kai rarely turns away submissively.

I slowly move to lean over him only to see his eyes shimmering in the silver moonlight, I gasp softly but Kai hears and quickly covers his face with his arm; I haven't seen Kai cry since we were really young.
"Kai..." I place I hand on his shoulder but he just shrugs it off and I despite myself smile...so Kai-like of him. I hesitate slightly as curiosity begins to get the better of me...
"Kai... did he take you?" I ask slowly turning him over so I could get a look at his face and surprisingly his smirking, that famous smirk I had first fallen in love with.
"No, he wasn't that seductive, plus by the time he actually had the chance we were back here... I had seen you... he might of... if you hadn't of come tonight, whether my heart really wanted to or not, that is," Kai admits with shame at his lack of control.

He looks at me from where he lies on his back on the grass, his eyes soft and slightly defeated, it's a nice change but I find myself preferring the stronger Kai who's eyes would shine with pride. Nothing is said for a few minuets so I move slowly, lying down, my body between Kai's legs, my head on my folded arms resting on his chest. He smiles acceptingly as he wraps his arms around me, triggering memories of us before he left to Japan, the same pride is there now, the same happiness. I slide my body up over his until I'm able to sit, straddling his waist, I feel his hand travel up my back and grasp at my hair before he presses his lip against mine. We part and he falls back to the grass below smirking his usual domineering smirk, I can only smile lightly.
"I guess you think there could be a chance for us to be..."
I'm cut off by another passionate kiss, and decide to take that as a yes, Kai was always better at showing things through actions than through words.

I lie there on Kai's chest, his arms wrapped loosely around me, tracing small patterns on my back through the material of my shirt, I've lost track of time but it doesn't matter. Right now I'm happier than I have ever been but there's one thing troubling me.
"Kai..." I ask, slightly annoyed I couldn't stop myself from breaking the tranquillity of the night.
"Hmm," is Kai's only response.
"What are you going to do about Rei?" I ask and I can feel him shift uneasily beneath my body.
"Do we have to talk about it now?" he asks almost pleadingly, "it's something I'd rather forget for the moment... at least until morning," he adds and I know he knows that the time will come sooner rather than later.
"Ok...." I mumble slightly beginning to drift into a blissful sleep, however I'm soon awoken yet again by Kai shifting under me.

"What?" I ask only to find myself in his arms as he stands looking out over the park.
"You shouldn't stay out here to long, the weather report said to expect snow," Kai informed me as he carried me out of the park.
"You know I'm perfectly capable of walking," I tell him, but he just shrugs off my comment.
"I know your capable of a lot more than that but I'm cold and you bring me warmth so just bear with it; we're nearly at your apartment anyway."
