Chapter 31

Blazing Phoenix L: New territory, he's probably just double checking so he doesn't look stupid when he does do it.

Kai Rei Yin Yang: Just quickly, it's A.R.V.O and I've seen it used on American TV shows. I think that might be where it came from and we Aussie's picked up on it. And what descriptive stuff about Tala and Bryan? There was hardly any in there. And Tala wasn't Bryan's first, so he's probably just saying things from all his relationships. Don't we all?

Bluumberry: I now have G-Revolution, and I've noticed some things that weren't in season one... though I love the way Ray just ignores Tyson in A Team Divided. Ray did that to Mariah in Adios Bladebreakers and I'll probably pick up on it in the future. I'm just hoping to get by with the fact I'm writing them older. ((whistles innocently and averts eyes))

lady snowblossom: Did you spot the fan fic bagging there? I love doing that. And Tyson mentioning porn is... yeah. ((sweatdrop)). And Tala's into kink methinks. And update I'm a Father!!! Question: are you missing chapters from that fic? Some of the content from Centrepiece seems to have gone walk-a-bout. ((growl))

Prozacfairy: When I began yaoi writing there was no information on how to write a... scene. I just winged it and ended up with what you see in Honesty, which I now plan to rework as it is cringe-worthy. Let's just say I was trying to give a yaoi 101. :p ;)

Angel Spirit: Like, hm? I'm so glad you think this is working. I am currently in a period where I doubt all my writing. When I did that with my Star Wars work I gave up writing for that fandom. But now I have G-Rev to give me new ideas. :D Good luck with my other fics. Quite a library I have there. ((sweatdrop))

lilmatchgirl007: ((bounces)) I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev, I have G-Rev ((gasp)).... You get the idea. I've seen two episodes thus far, though Crushgear is tomorrow meaning I must wait til Monday for episode three. They're showing it on a show early in the morning on free-to-air tv here, which means ad breaks. ((breaks tv station)) Not to mention that because my aerial is hanging from the curtain frame above my window, my pictures a tad blurry. Nevertheless, I have G-Rev!!!!!

Kuroneko Hikage: Speechless? Perfect. ((evil grin))

Koneko no Rei: Mental pictures good though, right? Perfect for hentai minds.

Mizuyah: Accurate? Phew. I thought it might be a little wrong considering how much I've learnt since I finished writing this... what? Three months ago? Maybe more? Glad it's not.

autumnburn: Possibly too much detail, but it was all just general talk. No action. So... maybe innocent? Just maybe?

Zap Cannon: People will read this before Honesty once it's finished. And you're complaining about Christmas coming? I've got my birthday smack bang behind Christmas, and since I'm going to be 20 my friends will want a party. Not happening, but they will. ((sigh))

Kit-Cat Caitlin: I got your artwork, and will put it up next chance I get. I'm currently working on my article for my page on my state governments youth web site. The things I get myself in too.... Glad you liked the chapter.

Ashla: Nothing wrong with contradicting yourself every now and then. Tis healthy. :p

TNTiggris: I've watched episode1 five times already, and episode 2 three times. And over the weekend... :D ;)

To All: That last chapter was meant to be for a laugh and a bit of fun. When I was editing I asked my sister and Izure if I should pull the chapter. My sister said it should go, but Izure said it should stay. I left it in. Up to you who was right.

Ray's having a bad day.

"Is he out of his room yet?"

Kai glanced up as Tyson stepped toward the living room, the younger's eyes looking down the corridor. "No sign of him."

Tyson sighed, shaking his head. "Someone's gotta talk to him."

"I'd say leave it as it is," Max spoke up. "Sure Kenny's a problem, but I doubt there's anything that we can do about it."

Tyson smirked. "I say we find him a girlfriend, that way he'll be so busy he won't be able to find the time to hang crap on us."

Max blinked. "Busy doing what?"

"Oh, I don't know." Tyson shrugged. "Going out on dates, drooling over her picture, screwing her brains out…"

Kai and Max glared at him.

"I'm going to kill you two." Ray closed the door of the apartment after him, glaring daggers at two of his teammates.

Max raised an eyebrow. "Finally got away from that overexcited fan girl, did you?"

"No thanks to you." Ray growled, golden pupils slitted as his fangs glittered. "You two running off and leaving her with me… I should strangle you."

Kai smirked. "Why not throw them out the window?"

"Don't tempt me."

Tyson smiled sweetly, dark blue eyes blinking innocently. "But you can handle girls so much better than we can. And I was hungry, and you know what I can be like when I get hungry…" His voice trailed off as Ray glared at him.

They looked up as they heard a door open, their eyes following the youngest member of their team as he stepped into the main living area of the apartment and into the kitchen. He didn't even acknowledge them as he took a plate from the cupboard and opened the fridge, delving inside and finding various things. Once his plate was full he picked it up and closed the fridge, disappearing once more into the corridor. Moments later they head his door close.

"Well, I guess it's progress." Max sighed, shaking his head. "How long do you think before he talks to us?"

"Who knows." Tyson shook his head and moved toward the kitchen. "Right now, the only thing I care about is just what is going to be on my plate…"

"Ty, the only thing you ever care about is just what is going to be on your plate." Max followed him but didn't admit that he was hungry as well.

Ray sighed, moving toward the couch and dropping onto it beside Kai, slouching back and closing his eyes, shoulders slumping. Kai watched him, one eyebrow raising ever so slightly. "Hard day?"

"You have no idea." Ray looked up. "It was fine to begin with, only we missed the first screening cause Tyson had that extended breakfast. Then we went to the park and talked for a while before we made it back for the next movie, during which Tyson and Max spent a great deal of time making out. As soon as Max's hands started wandering I moved seats. And then at lunch…" He sighed. "Whispering and giggling, asking questions I couldn't answer… and then the fan girl…"

Kai smiled as Ray shuddered, the elder sliding an arm around the younger's waist. "Well, now it's relaxing time."

Ray slid closer to Kai, resting his head on his shoulder and closing his eyes. "So what did you do today?"

"I finalised all that paperwork and sent it off, had a chat to Bryan, then sat down and caught a couple of movies." He gestured to the tv. "The first movie was so bad I can't remember its name. The second one only just finished and wasn't that bad. It was called In and Out."

"Yeah, I've seen that one." Ray chuckled. "Kinda like us."

"Almost."

"Almost?"

"We're the famous people."

"Ah. Rather than the famous person telling the world we're gay when we think we're not and then going through the whole thing of denying we're gay when we actually are."

Kai raised an eyebrow. "You just said a mouthful, Tiger."

"Mm." Ray looked up at him. "Wish you coulda come out."

"Needed to get all that crap finished." Kai looked down at him. "I've finished it now."

Ray smiled faintly. "More time with me?"

"Maybe."

"Tease."

Kai shrugged, reaching out with his other hand and trailing his fingers over the smooth skin of the others face, Ray nuzzling his palm. A small smile tugged at Kai's lips as he traced the contours, Ray twisting and catching Kai's fingers between his lips and sucking on them, causing Kai's eyebrows to raise ever so slightly.

"Who's the tease?"

It was Ray's turn to shrug as he reached up, hand drifting through Kai's hair as lips met in a lingering kiss before Ray deepened it. Kai allowed him to lead it, content with simply savouring the moment, something he had been thinking about and looking forward to the entirety of the day.

In the kitchen Max nudged Tyson with his elbow, the elder looking up and swallowing his mouthful before he smirked. "This time two days ago we couldn't get them to admit they liked each other, and now, by the looks of things, they can't keep their hands off each other."

Max smiled. "I think it's kinda cute."

Tyson's smirk widened as he shot a look to the side. "I think you're kinda cute."

"What? Only 'kinda'?"

"Okay, a lot cute."

Max reached out and patted his arm. "Much better."

Tyson couldn't help rolling his eyes, reaching to pick up another bit of bread when his movement was blocked, fingers entwining with his. Tyson glanced at their joined hands before he brought them closer, dark blue eyes drifting to find his lovers own blue gaze locked upon him. Max reached up and brushed Tyson's fringe from his eyes, Tyson sliding an arm around him as he drew Max closer.

"Ever heard of too much of a good thing?" Tyson whispered, his lips brushing Max's.

"Mm." Max smiled. "But I've been waiting all day."

"Agreed. I wanted to take you right there in the cinema."

"Tyson…" Max felt his cheeks warm, then nodded to the side. "How Ray was asking those questions today… do you think he'll sleep with Kai tonight?"

Tyson shrugged. "Arisoo na kota desu."(1)

Max rolled his eyes. "Why is it whenever you get mushy you start speaking Japanese?"

Tyson shrugged again, kissing him and ending all further conversation.

(1) It's likely to happen.

Just a little Japanese lesson there for you. And just as a side note, In and Out is one of my favourite movies of all time.
