Forever

Aw! No more shopping

Kai slumped onto the armchair, utterly exhausted. NEVER again was he going ANYWHERE near a shopping center if any of the girls, Zeo or Rei where with him. The 'shopping for things to do' turned into a 'shopping for stupid things we REALLY don't need, but will make the boys buy anyway' trip. Fun. He opened an eye as Rei curled up in his lap.

"Kai." Rei said in the sweetest voice he could.

"No, I will NOT help you unpack or do ANY sort of help for your stupid 'toys'." He said, he looked at Rei who tugged on his shirt; bad move. He was met with two big, sweet, golden eyes, a very nice face with lips parted, and last but defiantly not least; a big, long purr. Kai tipped his head back trying to block out the sound of his kitten purring but couldn't. He sighed in defeat. Rei jumped up happily and helped Kai up.

"You can help by helping wrapping some stuff up, sorting it out into piles, and putting all the Christmas presents of ours, under the Christmas tree! Of course, I'll help! Are there any questions?" Kai rolled his eyes. I'll help: I'll do the simple stuff, then go read some cook book. "Good, come!" Rei said, pulling Kai into the dojo.

Zzz

Kai stumbled back onto his chair after putting the stuff under the big tree. He looked as Tala walked into the room, putting some stuff under the tree, then pretending to fall down dead. Then Mystel lugged himself in, throwing the stuff at the tree, then sat on the chair opposite Kai. Next, Ozuma and Max walked in, did the same, but sat on the big chair. Tyson then came in, putting a few dozen cards under the tree, and sat in the middle of the floor. Kai growled as Tyson sat down, out of them all, Tyson didn't look tired.

"How come you get it off easy and WE have to actually DO something?" Kai moaned, Tyson grinned and got hit by a pillow Kai chucked at him with very poor effort.

"Well, I helped write Christmas cards, that's all, you guys helped pack up some stuff and finish the shopping off. You had a choice Kai, so did Tala, he could have done NOTHING!" Kai sat up straight and stared with hate at his -former- best friend lying on the floor.

"You could have done NOTHING? I was so forced into it." Kai said his defense, folding his arms. Tala sat up, rubbing his head.

"Well…I guess so…but I thought, as everyone else was getting help, why shouldn't I help? So I did." Kai started laughing. Tala got angry.

"Liar! I saw the way you looked at…shall I say his name? In the café! You were SO no being nice out of the goodness for your heart!" Tala blushed furiously at this; the others joined in the laughter as well.

"I did look at anyone in that way Kai! And I CAN simply do nice things every now and then!"

"Rei noticed as well, he's the one you should worry about!" Tala was starting to panic.

"Damn! Rei knows?" Kai smirked. "I mean…thinks he knows something that didn't happen?"

"Too late for that Tala, maybe Rei's already told him, I mean, they do get along well." Ozuma said, The redhead gulped, the others laughing at his discomfort.

"What are you all laughing at?" Everyone was looking at the door. There stood the object of the conversation, carrying a tray of drinks. Tala went redder than his hair.

"N-n-nothing!" He said, standing up and running to the green haired beauty, taking the trays. "Here! Let me help you!" He laid them on the table, ignoring the protests from Zeo and stifled laughter from the others. Zeo smiled at him as he took back the tray.

"You're so helpful to me." He said, the blush rose back to Tala's cheeks.

"I think Zeo forgot about booby trapping the house!" Kai shouted at them, Tala looked at Kai questionably and then looked at the ceiling. His face paled. Zeo shook his head furiously. "After what you did to me earlier with the other two evil creatures, I now am forcing you to follow the Christmas tradition. Mistletoe, my new best friend!" Kai said grinning. Tala looked down at Zeo who was a nice shade of pink. He heard the distant wolf-whistle of Max and the other mean and cruel cheers of his friends. Zeo shut his eyes and straightened himself, leaning up slightly, his arms where clasping the tray. Tala shut his own eyes, holding onto Zeo's shoulders, and lent down, brushing his lips against Zeo's, then deepened the kiss a little by moving further forward. He let go of Zeo and stood back up, trying to hide the blush from the smaller one by looking at the ceiling. Zeo looked down, blushing badly.

"I…umm…I have to go back now." Zeo stated, almost running out the room. Tala glared at Kai who had camera in his hand, before going back to being dead on the floor and trying to block the laughter out.

"It's not funny!" He yelled over the noise.

"You're right, it's not," Began Kai. "It's fucking hilarious!" Tala sighed. "What's wrong, you should be thanking me!" Kai said, poking the other in the cheek.

"He'll hate me now!" Kai shook his head.

"Moron! Of course he won't!"

"Yea, did you see the look on his face? He enjoyed it as much as you!" Tala sat up, beet red again, and glared at Mystel.

"Oh don't hide it Tala, you so enjoyed that! You would have gone on if it weren't for us being here!" Tala sighed and smiled.

"I guess you're right." Rei then burst in, running over to Kai and looking at the digi-camera.

"Let's see then!" He said, Kai flicked through to the right photo. Rei started laughing at it and Kai got a new burst of laughter. "Man, Tala! If I were you, I would have burned this thing by now!" Tala desperately tried to change subject.

"What was it that Zeo and you did to Kai?" Kai blushed, looking horrified.

"Basically the same thing, but we let Kai know we took a photo, him being camera shy and all!" Kai looked away.

"I'm NOT camera shy! I just haven't exactly gotten on well with camera's." he defended. Rei laughed a little.

"Yea, that's called camera shy!"

zzz

"Aw! That's so sweet!" Ruia said, smiling at her best friend who was helping to wash the dishes. He was still slightly pink, but couldn't help smiling slightly.

"Yea, but he probably hates me now…" Came the reply.

"Why should he hate you?" Hillary asked, she and Miriam where setting up the things for tomorrow.

"Because he's not gay, he probably has some nice girl to go back home to." Gwen laughed a little, putting the next plate away.

"He is, he just broke up with his boyfriend in Russia, good thing to, the heartless ass, anyway, he seems to like you, he wouldn't help someone out the 'kindness of his heart', he helps them if he likes them or he is forced to."

"Really?" Zeo said with hope in his voice. Ruia nudged him, he forgot about drying the plates, he quickly started again whispering a sorry.

"Really, and in my opinion, you suit him well." Zeo blushed harder and looked at Gwen who was grinning. The worst part of this little conversation for Zeo was the fact that it was one of those girly ones.

"What about you and Tyson Gwen? You two seem to hit it off." Miriam said, Gwen sighed.

"He can be so oblivious, I tried hinting, but everything just flew passed him! I mean really, I thought my brother was bad!" The others laughed. Zeo blushed slightly at the mention of Tala.

SMASH!

"ZEO! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT SMASHING PLATES!"

zzz

wow, two updates in one day, I'm getting back on track!

Tala: and this is a good thing I presume?

NAHA! Yes, my pairings are soooooooooo random some times, but I thought the TalaxZeo thing was kinda cute, an Android and a Cyber dude! I mean, come on! How cute is that?

Tala: -.-; it's just cliché.

Whatever! Thank you for your patients!

Caoi .

Kitty-cat

Tala: stop it with the religious thing!
