Tala woke up with a still sleeping Kai next to him. He sat up carefully trying not to disturb him.

Once out of bed he looked back at the younger boy and smiled at seeing how peaceful he looked, something he wasn't used to.

Kai had always been there for him, like he was now. Letting him stay over even though the bladebreakers were here, making him really. Kai may be younger but he acted older. Tala wished there was something he could do for Kai but didn't know what. He knew that Kai had his own problems but he never told anyone, he always tried to sort them out himself. If only there was someway to make him talk, but Tala knew that he'd have to wait until Kai was ready.

Like that would ever happen.

Kai opened his eyes and to see Tala sitting on the edge of the bed staring at him.

"You're awake early. I thought you'd taken in to sleeping late whenever you could."

Tala shrugged, "You're normally out of bed at this time. And it sounds to me like you're the last one up."

Kai sat up "What time is it?"

"7:35"

"Shit. I told them they had to be ready for half past for training why didn't you wake me up?"

Tala smiled smugly, " you looked so sweet, I just couldn't do it. Does it really matter if you're a bit late? Now if you'll excuse me im going to get a shower and get out of these clothes" before he closed the door he added "hope you don't mind if I borrow some of yours"

"Where's Kai?" Tyson asked when he noticed his absence and the time. At that moment Kai walked into the room, "there you are. You're late"

"No need to sound so smug Tyson. I've got a lovely course set up for you." The fact he set it up last night wasn't that important

"Where?"

"This way."

Kai led them into a large room full of training equipment, a beydish and the course Kai had mentioned. "This is what we'll be doing for most of the day."

"That's the only reason you asked us here isn't it? So you could make us work everyday." Tyson groaned

"Yep."

Tala came out of the shower feeling refreshed, he hated staying in the same clothes.

"Now for some breakfast."

He knew Kai would have the bladebreakers training hard so it would be safe to go out of the room. Kai couldn't expect him to wait for food again.

The fact the younger boy probably hadn't had breakfast didn't occur to him until he ran into Kai in the kitchen.

"What are you doing in here?"

"Eating. What does it look like"

"I just thought you'd be training with the others"

"I didn't have time to eat thanks to you."

"Hey you could have got your self up!"

Kai shrugged, "you still could've woken me up."

"Yeah but I already told you why I didn't" Tala sat at the table picking at a piece of bread while he waited for his toast.

"I looked sweet." Kai said dubiously

"Hmm. Its not very often I see you asleep, all curled up like a little mouse."

Kai raised his eyebrows "you're teasing me."

Tala shrugged, "well they say how someone sleeps reflects what they're really like." He looked pointedly at Kai.

"I've got to get back to training."

Tala watched Kai leave. He knew he'd get that response.

I'd like to say now that I am in fact a fool. This is actually set between V-force and G-rev, not during G-rev. Sorry!
