This part was originally made to fit in after A Little Bit of Violence, but my post went decap - so here it is + thesixth chapter!


It was back. That horrible, hot flush Rei tried so vainly to prevent. Kai was watching him from his place spread out on the couch, visibly amused. Sitting in the room the young neko-jinn was sharing with his rogue roomie, the two bladers weren't wholly glad to discover…

Tala was a screamer.

Rei's eye gave an involuntary twitch.

'I can't feel that good.'

At this statement, Kai laughed. A smirk curled pale lips moments later as he watched the young, rather disturbed Chinese.

'Ever tried it?'

'Huh…?' Any former color on the Asian's angular face was suddenly gone.

Kai appeared, however, to be intensely enjoying tormenting his team mate.

'Have you ever tried it?'

'No…!' The reply was far squeakier then the younger had first hoped.

The Russian's smirk strengthened.

'So you're judging something you've never tried? That's very narrow-minded of you, Rei Rei.'

Rei opened his mouth to reply, but was promptly cut off by an audible scream from next door. This time, however, Kai frowned slightly.

'Ok, what are they doing? Fucking or murdering someone?' Apparently he could only stand so much.

Subconsciously tugging on his hair, Rei pleaded himself not to get mental images…

'You know, I think I'm gonna go down to the showers- care to join me?'

At this, Rei promptly fell off the end of his bed, spluttering. Kai watched him. Somehow managing to get to his feet, the ebony-haired blader attempted to take what composure he could.

'Pardon?' His voice was at least 4 pitches higher then normal.

'The downstairs showers…' Kai sounded as if he were trying to communicate with an infant. 'I am going to go… are you interested in coming down with me…?'

Enter blush stage right and left.

'Um… yes. Sure. I suppose I would have had to eventually…'

And with that, they grabbed their things.


Muahaha! This part turned out surprisingly well! Thankies again to Miffy, who gave me the idea. I kind of bent it to my will, however… ;;


Chapter 6:

Keeping Your Gaze At Eye Level

The warm water was refreshing on Rei's unnaturally hot and tense muscles. In the cubical beside him, Kai seemed to be equally comfortable, even if his temperature was at least 5-10 degrees cooler.

The bathroom facilities that they were all expected to make do with were the normal locker room showers, toilets and basins. The showers, 6 of them, were cubicles that covered from around knee to shoulder level, differing only in the female block. They were such that you could talk while you washed.

They also proved next to no privacy. With the correct height, anyone could see everything.

Hence Rei's apprehension.

Kai was hot. Very hot. His body was trim, his face was handsome and the only things he really lacked were social skills and body fat. It took all of the neko-jinn's will not to stare at him. To say he was attracted to his captain was an understatement.

The Chinese was infatuated with his captain.

Oh yes, Kai was very hot indeed.

Rei himself, although constantly hit on and drooled over, had little self-confidence in his own personal image. He saw the ebony-haired monster in the mirror as a lanky little thing, with big eyes and even bigger ears. His fangs, all though formally proud of them, were becoming a nuisance. He tried to smile normally, and they'd always pop out. Rei had spent hours upon hours just standing in front of the mirror, attempting to find a way to keep them behind his lips.

Once, Tala had described Rei as "pretty", and perhaps that was correct, but the young neko-jinn would never openly think it.

'You missed a spot…' Kai's voice brought the Asian from his thoughtful daze.

Waist-length ebony, that he'd been lathering with ochre shampoo, was heavy with applicant, making him look and feel comical. Rei blinked.

Kai, however, looked perfect. And moist.

'… didn't you hear me?' said Russian raised a brow.

Reaching out a hand confidently caused Rei's eyes to widen as Kai's cool finger tips massaged a clump of hair product into a seemingly dry section of hair, just at the hollow of the neko-jinn's heat-speckled neck. One thing Rei did notice, though, was that even though Kai's fingers were cold, the touch was warm.

'Thanks…' a weak smile.

The blunette just nodded, ducking his head back under the cold spray. Rei forced his attention back to the task at hand.

A few moments of silent bathing and the washroom's doors were opened.

Tala and Bryan.

'Ladies…' Kai acknowledged them with a smirk, ducking as a maroon shower sandal was hurled at his head.

The two Blitzkrieg Boys took the stalls across the room, leaving their clothes on the centre benches.

'What'd you two get up to?' Tala off-handedly questioned, snatching his boyfriend's soap without so much as a "please".

Bryan glared.

'We talked… but it was rather outdone by your vocals, Tal.' Rei set to work rinsing his ebony locks.

A healthy blush settled on both Russian's faces.

Kai chuckled, before turning off the water, grabbing his towel, wrapping it around his slim waist and leaving the stall.

Rei and Tala watched, the Chinese slightly more discreet.

'Oi! Pervert! Keep your eyes in your head!' Bryan threw a wet washer at his red-headed lover.

A little conversation ensued, however, being in Russian Rei had no clue what was being said. Though… the way Tala's eyes kept flittering down into Bryan's stall, maybe it was best…


Mmm… shampoo…
