Kai looked at the clock on the wall. It was 3 in the morning. /I guess I have to get back to bed then, since we're supposed to train at 8./ But something inside him stopped him. Why should he let the chance of tasting Rei go past him? He knew it wasn't fair, taking advantage of a sleeping person but…

Kai rearranged himself, getting into a better position. He held one hand on the edge of the bed while he placed the other one on Rei's other side, so that he was leaning over the magnificent creature sleeping peacefully. He took a last look at the sleeping beauty before he leaned down to kiss Rei. His touch was as light as a feather's but since Rei had his lips slightly parted; Kai let his tongue travel inside, exploring every corner, caressing Rei's own tongue or running it in the roof of his mouth. He didn't react much to that Rei's tongue started to move on its own.

Kai ended the kiss with one of his feathery ones, savouring the taste of Rei. He did taste like vanilla ice cream with peaches… Rei's chest rose as he took a deep breath in. When he breathed out, he whispered: "That was amazing, Kai. Care to do it again?" Kai became speechless as the tiger opened his eyes, looking calm with a content smile playing on his lips. Rei sat up and folded his arms around Kai's neck, pulling himself up so that he could suckle on Kai's soft flesh on the base of his neck.

When he slowly slid back down into bed, Kai followed and carefully sat himself on top of the neko, using his arms on both sides of Rei's head to support his weight. Rei stopped kissing Kai and giggled happily. "What is it?" Kai asked groggily, wanting to kiss more. "My dreams, wishes and hopes have come true. That's all." Kai laughed softly, caressing Rei's chest, making him purr from his throat. "So have mine. I love you, Rei Kon." "I love you too, Kai Hiwatari."

Kai slid down next to his loved oneand put his arms around his waist, pulling Rei closer to himself, Rei's back against his chest. "Always have, always will." Kai mumbled into Rei's hair. The silence came over them and Rei feared that the phoenix had fallen asleep. "Kai? What about the others? What if they find out?" "If we're careful, they won't find out. At least not for a while yet. And when they do, I have a feeling that they won't judge us too harshly or hate us." Kai whispered with his sexy voice, making Rei shiver.

His hair was standing in the back of his neck and on his arms. "Why?" "Because they're gay too. Well, maybe not Chief but Tyson and Max sure are. It slipped out of Tyson at the last party when he had a little too much to drink." Rei thought about it for a second, and he realised that it just had to be that way. He smiled in the dark, took one of Kai's hands and intertwined his fingers with Kai's. "My tiger… or perhaps my kitten…" Kai mumbled sleepily and right before they both fell asleep, Rei answered: "My phoenix…"
