Chapter 1: Strange Love
Rei lied outside under the stars. It was a cool night, quite relaxing. Takao and the others, including Max and Kenny, were celebrating their win in the Asian tournament by camping out. They seemed to be having a great time and Rei felt the urge to go and sit with them and talk about their victory. But, something was on his mind. Or someone.
Earlier that day when Mr. Dickenson had asked everyone what they wanted to do for their victory celebration, Takao immediately shouted out "camping." Everyone seemed to think that was a great idea, even Rei. But of course, their duel haired, crimson eyed, team captain refused to go out into the wilderness and have to spend the whole night listening to Takao talk and snore. That certain person was Kai Hiwatari, and that's who was on Rei's mind tonight.
He shifted his body a little to form a tighter ball. As the sun went down the air became somewhat chilly, and right now he longed to go join the others near the campfire and have a good time. But he knew he couldn't do that, not without Kai. Something inside him longed for that cold-hearted team captain. What was weird though is that Rei couldn't understand why he cared so much for Kai. Kai had never been a kind person and never treated Rei or any of the other team members with any real respect or caring.
"Maybe this feeling is because of the way I saw Kai look earlier. How he stares into space with those cold eyes of his. I wonder what happened to him to make him look so empty sometimes," Rei thought as an icy wind swept over the hill and brought shudders to his body. "Oh what do I know," He thought while standing up. "I should let Kai be the way he wants to. If he wants to be a snobby, over-confident bitch then let him. What do I care?" Rei sighed. "Well that's the problem; I do care and can't help it either. It's like I'm sort of well, attracted to him. No, no, no…I'm not attracted to him, he's a boy! If I liked him that would make me gay…and I'm not gay. I'm just gonna quit thinking about him. No matter how much it scratches and bites at my heart, I will not think about him anymore!"
Rei smiled and walked over to join Takao and the others eating their hotdogs and laughing as Takao attempted to eat three at once. "Hey guys, I'm back." Rei said, sitting himself down on one of the logs while grabbing a stick and placing a hotdog on it. "Arf you done finking?" Takao choked out. "Yes, I'm done thinking." Rei replied. That's right Kai; I'm not gonna think about you anymore. No matter how much it hurts."
-Later that night back at the hotel Kai was staying at-
Kai paced back a forth across his room. "Damn it! I'm so bored! I'd go to the pool but those annoying 5 year old brats wont stop playing Marco Polo, and I could go to the arcade if every single game in there wasn't boring or broken…sigh Maybe I should have went with Takao and the others. At least I'd have Rei to talk to…"
Rei. That raven haired beauty had been on Kai's mind ever since they first met. Right now he needed Rei the most though. Rei was the only calm guy in the group and easy to talk to. Takao was loud and obnoxious and eats too much. Kenny's a nerd, and Max was always too happy and jumpy. Whenever he stood up, or rather jumped up, it scared the shit out of Kai.
"I really need someone to talk to…and it's weird too. I never felt the need to sit down with someone and just well…talk. Rei wouldn't, well, understand my feelings for him. I'd probably let them slip out somehow and then he'd totally hate me." Kai thought, still pacing. It was true too. Ever since Kai had first laid eyes on Ray he fell in love. Maybe it wasn't love, but he sure did have one big hell of a crush on that neko-jin.
Finally after becoming exhausted from walking in circles, he sat down on his bed. He read the alarm clock, 12:13am. He'd been watching TV and wandering in circles in his room for about 7 hours now. He sighed and decided it was time to turn in. He stood up and removed his shirt and almost his pants when he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. He suddenly began to admire himself. He had a strong chest and arms and his skin was completely free of any scars or marks. He was a little pale, but what else are you supposed to expect from a boy that's lived in Russia almost his whole life?
"Wow," Kai thought still admiring himself, "Tala was right, I do have a nice body. I can see why he liked me. Well if Tala liked my body, I'm sure Rei-. No! What am I thinking! Rei is different then Tala. Tala was gay, Rei's not. I know he's not. Well…I think he's not…sigh" Kai continued undressing until all he was wearing was his boxers. He threw his dirty clothes in his bag and turned off the light. Wandering his way though darkness, he found his bed. But even after he'd begun to relax that familiar name began to repeat it's self in his head. "Rei. Rei. Rei." He couldn't stop thinking about him. Kai tossed and turned before finally falling asleep an hour later. Even then he continued to move in his sleep. He was having a strange but wonderful dream…
-Back at the camp-
Rei sighed, he couldn't sleep. Takao's snoring was keeping him awake and even though they'd won the tournament, Kenny was still tacking away on his laptop for more data. His mind began to wander as he tried to sleep. Once again that dreaded name floated through Rei's head. Kai.
"No! I told myself I wouldn't think about him anymore. It's just becoming bothering now. He wouldn't like me...what am I thinking! I don't like him! I'm not gay, he's not gay. But oh…I do really care about him! What if I am gay and I'm just denying it? What if he's gay? What if he's gay and he likes me back? Whoa…you can stop now Rei, easy now, you're going a little too far. Kai wouldn't like you, or…would he? Naaaah…I'm only dreaming. Who would want me anyway, I'm not in the least bit attractive. sigh I'm going to stop thinking now, just go to sleep. God does Takao ever stop snoring! Go to sleep Rei…Go to sleep…zzzzzzz."
-Kai's dream-
Kai's POV:
I opened my eyes. Staring back at me were the most beautiful yellow orbs that I have ever seen. "Huh...wha-...Rei?"
"Shh, my love." Rei held a finger up to my lips and let it slide down my chest until stopping at my navel. I had no idea how I got into this situation but I was not about to get out of it. Rei leaned forward and began to kiss and bite along my neck. Damn this felt so good. I moaned and bucked my hips up in pleasure. Rei slid his tongue up the side of my face before quickly shoving it into my mouth. I smiled into the kiss and then said, "Rei, please, I want more…"
I sat up gasping for breath. The sun was filtering through the window and the alarm clock read 7:26am. I looked around. "Where'd Rei go?" I asked to my self. Then I realized that it was all a dream. Just a dream. A wonderful, romantic dream. I rolled over and stretched. I stopped suddenly when I realized that that wonderful dream left a wet spot between my legs. "Oh great, just great." I thought as I rolled out of bed and headed for the shower to clean up.
While standing in the shower I began to think about this dream I just had. "Wow, Rei was so hot in that dream. I wish that could be for real."
"Maybe it could be for real if you just told him your feelings," Said the little voice in the back of my head.
"What? No…Rei would never think of me that way, never. Not in a million years.
"But if you asked him out and he said yes wouldn't you be surprised?"
"Well yes, but, what if he says no and hates me forever and goes and tells Takao and Max about me. Then what do I do?"
"Rei wouldn't do that, I know he wouldn't. Even if Rei didn't feel the same way I did he would still understand and continue being my friend. No matter what.
Kai took a deep breath and turned off the shower. "Maybe I should just tell him my feelings. But how should I tell him…should I come out truthfully and say, 'Hey Rei guess what, I had wet dream about you the other night…' Umm…no, I shouldn't say that at first…err…I'll just tell him my feelings…yeah, what I really feel about him.(End Kai's POV)
-Back at the camp 2 hours later and everyone has woken up-
"So Mr. Dickinson, how are we going to get back to Japan?" Takao asked, shoving a granola bar down his throat.
"Well," Mr. Dickinson started, "Turns out our flight was delayed so we'll have to stay at the hotel Kai slept at last night for about two days before we can get home."
Takao sighed and grumbled, "Aww man, I was hoping I'd get home today. I feel weird saying this, but I miss Grandpa." Everyone laughed at Takao's remark, even Rei, who was mostly excited about staying in a hotel with Kai for two days. Last night right before he fell asleep, he decided that wouldn't deny him self any longer and tell Kai his true feelings. He didn't know how, but he was going to do it.
After everyone packed the tent and their bags, they all piled into the taxi that was waiting for them by the road. A few minuets later they had arrived at the 4 star luxury hotel. Takao was complaining that he was hungry, but Mr. Dickinson insisted that they would hit the free breakfast buffet after they went to their room. Rei took a breath. "Somewhere up there is Kai," He said glancing up at the 20 story hotel. "I'm just gonna have to take a deep breath and tell him all my feelings."
