It was a fine Sunday morning and Gray sat up straight awake at the first sign of daylight. He yawned, and made way towards the shower the minute his feet touched the ground. The second to awake was Kai, who ran downstairs to get a drink, followed by Cliff whom took the same road as Kai, he was hungry.
At about Seven-Thirty A.M. Gray walked casually out of the shower, dressed as usual, and headed down the weak stairs – so to get out and head to work. Kai slammed the cup onto the table. "Thanks, Ann!" he grinned, and made his way upstairs to relax. Cliff on the other hand headed to work early because he awoke early – and hated waiting for work to start.
Around Twelve P.M. Kai made his way out of the beloved Inn towards the beach, notebook and pencil from the previous day being carried. He took small steps, as he thought towards the Square. The black-haired teen decided he take a look at the bulletin board, he didn't know why. He knew all of the celebrations summer had, and he never stayed passed the first day the leaves changed and headed for death. Suddenly he noticed two people at his side, he figured it was Manna and the girls she gossiped with, but couldn't help but look – He was wrong.
He looked at the corner of his eye and the dorky-kid whom hated him so much for really no reason at all. Along with that idiot was Gray, the two seemed to be chatting. Kai shrugged it off, and headed towards the opening to the beach, afraid that Rick would go on and yell at him for something so small (Perhaps nonexistent?) again. That's when Rick wrapped his arm in a friendly way around Gray's shoulders. Gray forced a smile, and Rick seemed that he was going to pass out from something considered funny. Kai stared at the corner of his eye yet again and made a fist, the led pencil in his hand almost snapped. "Hey, Rick!" He yelled, catching the two's attention. "What do you want, Kai?" growled the dork, looking Kai's direction. Suddenly a cracked pencil flew to him, (un?)fortunately he dodged it. "You idiot, you could have poked my eye out!" "That's what I intended to do, but your darned nerdy glasses would've gotten in the way!" Sighed the summer boy, and looked at Rick. "Don't touch him." He pointed straight out at Gray. Stepping back, the apprentice was taken by surprised. 'What the…' Rick turned away from Kai, folding his arms over his chest. "And why should I listen to you?" "Uhm…" Kai stepped back, his cheeks turning slightly pink. "Y-you…d-don't – You don't need to!" Kai hesitated, making a satisfied type of nod, followed by a nervous smile. "Alright…" replied Rick, but walked towards his direction of home.
Kai glanced at the confused Gray, and ran way towards the Inn to avoid having to say much more. "Wait, Kai!" yelled the apprentice, and ran after him, trying to catch up.
"DUDE!" yelled Kai, slamming the Inn doors opening. Ann looked at him with a questioning look on her face. He looked back at her "What?" he asked, stupidly, with a smile. "What's the matter?" She said, in a happy tone, and a smile planted on her face in return to his. "Oh, Nothing!" he glanced behind him, and ran upstairs in quite the hurry. "Uh…" Ann looked at the direction Kai went, shrugged and got back to whatever work she had.
"Kai!" Gray ran in several minutes after, also slamming the doors opening. Ann looked at him, and motioned upstairs. "Kai's up there." She informed him. "Ah. Thanks." He replied with a nod, and walked up the stairs calmly. "Weirdo's…" Ann mumbled to herself, getting back to work yet again.
The door was locked, and this annoyed Gray obviously. "Kai" He screamed slamming his fist against the door; in return he received a "What?" and a chuckle from the other side. "Can I come into my own room?" breathed the older one slowly, but his eyes widened when the door slid opening. "Hi, Gray!" waved Kai, sitting at the desk, and swirling around on the computer chair. The door closed behind Gray. "What are you doing?" "Nothing, I'm bored." "What was that all about – the thing at the square I mean?" asked the one in which was pulling his hat off and placing it on the table near his own bed. "Ah, I was jealous" Kai sang, leaning as far back onto the chair. "I don't like it when other's touch the guy I like just so much, you know" he added to his song.
There was a long silence, Gray lifted up his finger to state something, but put it down for the words couldn't be released. Both of them were blushing, though Gray was more. "You mean…Wha--?" Kai laughed at Gray's confused expression, stood up, and sat on the bed next to the other. He swung his legs back and forth like an impatient child. "I like you, is that so hard to understand?" blue eyes stared into the others face. "Well, that's ironic." The confused one managed to speak up. "Huh? Ironic, How?" now Kai was confused. "I don't know - I thought it was just a one-sided thing, me liking you and you not caring. That kind of thing…" Gray stammered at his words a bit. "You said what?" a smile crept on the summer boy's face. "Don't make me repeat myself now!" "You like me too?" Gray's face turned a shade of pink and he sighed. "Yes, I said that."
"YAY" Kai cheered and threw himself at the other into a tight hug. Gray placed his arms around the other and his face had a smile planted on it. "You're so cute, Kai." The other looked up at the one who just spoke. "And you are too, especially when you blush!" poking at Gray's cheek, Kai laughed. "Ah-Uh…Well, yeah, I guess you're right." said Gray scratching the back of his head, laughing a little. Suddenly Kai reached up and planted a small kiss onto Gray's lips. The blue-eyed child was taken by surprised but relaxed into the embrace. The two pulled away after a second or so. "So, this is like – one of those romance type soap opera shows, huh?" said Kai, placing his hand on his chin. Gray shrugged. "I guess so. Oh well." Kai coated his arms around Gray again. "Can I snuggle with you tonight?" he sang innocently. "But Cliff…?" Gray tried to protest. "The bed isn't big enough for three of us!" Kai pouted somewhat. "Never mind…Fine, you can." sighed the other, but smiled and planted a kiss on Kai's forehead.
