Hello my little grasshoppers! Welcome to my third chapter and I hope you enjoy it!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright Kai, if you can give me 3 reasons why you love Rei, I'll believe you, and give you my blessing." Tala still was shocked about Kai's earlier confession, and quite disappointed that of all the people Kai could be in love with- it had to have been Rei- whom he did not hold in very high regard.

"You can't ask someone that! You can tell you've never been in love!" Ironically, Kai was just as shocked as Tala about how quickly and deeply his feeling had developed for Rei. After years of not being capable to love, Kai's heart had finally started working, and was now making up for lost time.

"I never aspire to be 'in love', thank you very much! Love is weakness, and I am quite far from being weak." Tala was lying. It was only last year he was infatuated with Brian to the point of obsession- and although he'd never admit it- he would have died for him. This fixation came to an unpleasant end though, when Tala almost did die. By Brian's own hand…

"The depressing thing is Tala, is that I actually agree with you. I am love-sick. I'm so love-sick, so obsessed, so dependant…that I'm making my life un-livable. I wake-up in the night and I feel worthless, it feels like my mind and body are rotting. I can feel something eating away inside of me, like a plague of maggots. Pretty, clever, talented maggots." Kai looked away from Tala, whose facial expression had changed dramatically.

"Kai…" Kai closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, silent tears rolled down his face. "You've got to end this here. This isn't healthy. I don't want you ruining your life over some pathetic chink…"

"Don't you dare refer to Rei like that!" Kai flung another pillow at Tala- but it wasn't playfully anymore.

"Can't you see he isn't worth all of this pain?"

"He is. He has to be."

"Because you love him?"

"Because I love him."

Tala stood up and started towards the door. He ruffled Kai's hair as he walked by, and shut the door on his way out. He stood up against the shut door for a few moments and mused on what could be done. He didn't really ponder too much about how Kai was doing, and could only think about Rei. Tala hated Rei so much anyway, but this was really the last straw. His hate for Rei was so consuming, he could think of nothing but killing him, or at least hurting him in some way.

Kai would never forgive me if I hurt him. Maybe I should just talk to him? But what could I say? By the way Rei, do you love Kai?

I hate him! I really fucking hate that bastard!

Rei had been waiting for the bathroom for about half an hour, and things were getting a little urgent. He decided he'd have to go, and slowly began his assent. He got half way to the bathroom and realized Tala was outside Kai's room. Tala looked up too, and they shared an awkward stare.

"Why aren't you in with darling Kai?"

"I thought 'darling Kai' told you not to come up here."

"Look you Muscative scum, I'm hardly gonna listen to you 2 going at it, I just want the bathroom, and then I can go back to hiding down stairs."

"You're jealous." Tala smiled which made Rei mad.

"In your dreams"

"I was referring to Kai. You like Kai right?"

"I know you do Tala, doesn't mean everybody else does!" Rei carried on walking, and by the time he walked back, Tala had gone.

I've got to teach that shit head a lesson. Kai thinks I've gone home now, so if I can catch Rei at some point, Kai won't blame me. But when can I catch him where no one else can see us, and when Rei is off-guard?

Tala kicked a can as he walked down the pavement.

I'm gonna get him in his sleep! I'll climb in through his window tonight and beat the shit out of him. I'm sure I've got a balaclava some where…
