Hey guys, I know it's been a long time, but I've been so busy that you wouldn't believe. I know, I know, excuses, excuses. Well, finally I got this chapter done. It took me a really long time because I had it half done, and then my mom deleted the whole document and I had to start all over again...from scratch. This chapter is a little laonger that the previous ones...I hope you like it!

Thanks to all my reveiwers, hugs to you all...if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be writing this.

FOR WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMER, SEE FIRST PAGE.

Anyways, on with the fic!

As usual, Kai was the first to awake. He yawned as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes and sat up in his bed. He glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was 8:17 AM and Rei was still fast asleep.

Wait a minute Kai thought to himself, why am I thinking about what Rei is doing? I must really be in love…

He shook his head and yawned again.

The Room was bathed in a warm yellow glow of the early-morning sunlight that was pouring in though the large window beside Kai's bed.

He looks just like an angel, Kai thought to himself. It really was true though; the sunlight seemed to give him a heavenly glow.

Kai gazed longingly at the sleeping neko-jin. He smiled to himself and sighed, wishing and hoping that maybe, just maybe, Rei felt the same way about him.

His thoughts were soon interrupted though, when Rei began to stir. Rei rolled over in his bed so that he was now facing Kai, and he groaned as he slowly lifted a sleepy eyelid.

Kai quickly snapped his head in the opposite direction, so that he was now staring blankly out the window. He could feel his cheeks burning, and knew that a blush was slowly creeping upon them.

Oh god. He thought, I hope that Rei didn't see me watching him sleep!

Rei sat up in his own bed and stretched his arms over his head.

"Good morning" the raven-haired teen said cheerfully.

Kai grunted in response, making sure to keep looking away from Rei until he was absolutely sure that there wasn't the slightest pink tinge left on his pale cheeks.

Rei smiled his usual smile and ran a hand through the top of his long raven hair. "Well" he said, still sounding slightly drowsy, "I'm going to take a shower, hopefully it'll help me wake up."

"Hn", Kai replied, still staring fixedly out the window at nothing in particular.

Rei stood up and padded off into the bathroom. A few minutes later Kai could hear the water running, and he busied himself with the task of getting dressed. It was all he could do to keep his mind out of the gutter with some more-than-friendly thoughts at the prospect of Rei in the shower.

He finished dressing, and just as he was wrapping his long white scarf around his neck he heard someone banging loudly on the door of the hotel room that he and Rei shared.

He strode quickly to the door and looked out through the peephole.

Oh great, He thought, here comes the bottomless pit and Mr. Sugar High.

Beating furiously on the door was Tyson, a boy with navy hair, and standing just behind him with a goofy smile on his face was Max, who was the same age as Tyson with spiky blonde hair.

Kai rolled his eyes and opened the door.

"What do you want?" he asked the two younger boys coldly.

"Kai!" whined Tyson, "I'm SOOOOOOOO HUNGRY, and I'm practically wasting away!" He clutched his stomach and groaned over-dramatically. "Can we go get something to eat now?" he asked greedily.

Kai crossed his arms and rolled his eyes again. "And you're asking me, why?" he asked sarcastically.

"Well, aren't you hungry?" Tyson asked quizzically.

"You and Max go on your own. I'm not hungry and I'm going to wait for Rei" he quickly turned his back to the two boys standing at the door, a slight blush spreading across his cheeks.

Tyson's mouth gaped open. "How can you not be hungry?" he asked, perplexed.

Max grabbed the still stupefied Tyson by the arm and started dragging him towards the elevator as Kai slammed the door shut.

Kai walked back into the hotel room shaking his head when suddenly the bathroom door opened--and there was Rei, wearing only a towel wrapped elegantly around his waist. His wet silky hair was out of its wrap and hanging down past his waist.

Calm down Kai, calm down! He screamed at himself inside his head.

"Oh, sorry!" Rei said shyly. Kai noticed the pink tinge appear on Rei's cheeks, and knew that his were doing the same.

Kai suddenly became extremely interested in his shoes.

"The others have already left to go get something to eat." He hesitated for a moment. "So, um, get dressed and you and I can go grab something too. That is if you want to." He finished hurriedly.

Rei grinned. "Sure" he replied. The pink on his cheeks darkening, but this went unnoticed to Kai who was still staring at his shoes.

"Okay" Kai said quietly. "I'll just go wait for you outside the door." He quickly turned around and strode hurriedly towards the door. He flung the door open and leapt out into the hallway.

He let out a relieved breath as he leaned against the wall next to the door and closed his eyes.

We're going out to lunch together…alone. Am I in heaven? He thought to himself. He smiled. This was going to be a good day….

Once again, if you like it, or even if you don't, please reveiw! Thanks to all of you guys for reading...I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can.

Thanks, Tiqila31.
