Ocean Blue Depths

The Next Morning

Rei woke up with a sharp pain in his back as he realized he was slouched over the side of a bed. 'that's rite, I forgot that I was with Max all night, sure hope he wakes up soon.' Rei looked over the sleeping boy next to him and saw the damage that Tala and his gang had done. Max had a busted lip, two fractured ribs and a whole lotta bruises from what Mr. Dickenson had told him last night. Rei's face softened as he saw Max try and move in his sleep only to get a whimper out. Rei got up and placed a small kiss on Max's forehead before walking out of the room to get some breakfast.

" Hey Rei how's Max doin?" asked a concerned Tyson as Rei sat down at the breakfast table next to Kenny. "He seems to be doing alrite, I just wish he'd wake up soon." Rei looked down to his food as he thought of the state his crush was currently in. "Ha! Yeah I bet you just cant wait to see him again huh?" said Tyson in a know-it-all voice. " And whats that supposed to mean?" " Oh man please, how could we not notice that you totally like him. I mean you look like your gonna drool every time he walks by." Rei suddenly got very red and stood up abruptly from his seat. " Your wrong Tyson! Im just his friend okay? I don't even know if he's like that!" was all Rei said before he walked out on the others. " Heh, hes so in denial." Said Tyson before he began to shovel food into his mouth once again.

Max's Room

Rei sat on a chair a few feet away from Max's bed and just glared at his feet. 'Stupid Tyson, he always does this, its like he knows I like somebody, before I even know!' Rei gave a low growl. ' He is right though. After Max wakes up I need to go after Tala and make him pay for what he did. Hes defiantly crossed the line this time. He pushed it when he threatened Kenny last time, but nobody messes with MY Max.'

'Man my head hurts.' Was the first thing Max could think of as he slowly woke up, he then tried to sit up so he could look around. 'AGH! Nevermind, I think my ribs hurt more. Man those guys kick hard.' Rei heard Max whimper again when he was in his thoughts and snapped out of it. "Max! don't get up okay. Two of your ribs are fractured." Said a concerned Rei as he ran to his crush. 'that explains why they hurt so much, wonder why Rei is here, has he been here the whole time?' "Just try and rest okay. Do you need anything? Theres a notepad here so you can write what you need down, I'll gladly go get it." ' wow, he really Is my friend. I actually feel like I can trust him. I guess I should try and return the gift he's given me, well here it goes..'"umm… no thank you Rei, im fine really." Said Max for the first time in four years. "Are you sure cuz all you have to do is write it dow…wait..what? Max? YOU JUST SPOKE! Wooo you did it, oh man wait till the others hear, Max are you okay now?" "Well yes I suppose, but I only talk to people I trust Rei." "Wow so you trust us now? That's great!" " Well I can say the others are very kind to me, but I do trust you the most Rei, that's why you're the only one who has heard me speak. Thank you Rei." Rei was in bliss as he heard the angelic voice of his new found love. ' his voice is even more beautiful than those gorgeous ocean blue eyes of his.'

"Hey guys! Guess what!" shouted Rei as he charged into the living room where the rest of the gang was sitting. "Whats up Rei?" asked Kai in a slightly interested voice. " Max is up! And guess what, he talked!" "No way! You beat the challenge before me! I was supposed to be the one he talks to, not you!" yelled Tyson as soon as the news processed in his head. " Oh that's real nice Tyson, no normal responses from you huh." Stated Kai with the utmost sarcasm. "You know thats what you love the most about me Kai, now lets go see Max!" Tyson skipped out of the room after Rei and Kenny while Kai sat there with a blush on his face, ' you have no idea how right you are Tyson.' With a sigh, Kai shuffled out the room to go see Max.

"Maxie! How ya feelin buddy?" said the bluenette as he entered the room. Max gave a smile in return and nodded. "Aww common don't be like that, you can talk to me, were all friends here after all. Besides I wanna hear if u sound as hot as you look." Tyson gave a wink at Max and all the boys sweatdropped. Tyson heard a low growl coming from Rei and laughed. "But no worries bud, I wont make any moves on ya, you have a different admirer." Tyson finished with a smirk at Rei. "Thank you Tyson, for everything. Kai, Kenny, and even Hilary. Thank all of you." "Oh hes so KAWAII!" said Tyson as he launched himself at Max, luckily Kai caught him before he hurt the poor blonde worse and started to drag Tyson out of the room. " AWWW common hes so cute I just wanna hug! Damn you sound sexy , You shoulda talked a long time ago!…" was the last Tyson said as the door was closed and he was dragged outside by Kai.

"Heh maybe you shouldn't talk a whole lot around Tyson, Max" "Yeah good idea Kenny." Said Max as he sighed heavily. The room went quiet except for the sound of someone's stomach growling, " Heh, is anyone else hungry?" asked Max with a small blush on his face. " Yeah we haven't had dinner yet, lets get you down to the cafeteria for sum food ok?" "great!" said Max as he went to sit up by himself only to fall back down. " Well good thing im here, I don't think Chief can carry you down there Maxie, climb on."

Inside The Boys' Dorm

"Thank you Rei for the lift to the cafeteria and back to my own bed, that makeshift hospital bed wasn't very comfy." Said Max with a smile. "No problem Max, im just glad that your alrite." "thanks to you Rei,im even better than alrite." Max then closed his eyes and went into peaceful dreams knowing that his crush was sleeping just above him.
