AN: Hey there! Okay first of all, I would like to thank pandapjays for being my inspiration for a couple of the names of things. One such place is the bar. This is a tame chappie but does contain some fluff. Yay. Hope you enjoy and remember, I do not own beyblades. Cya later P

Walking down the street, Kai turned down an alleyway. He leaned against the red brickwork of the apartment building. His white scarf was on the coat rack in the lounge room/kitchen. Rei had been desperate to wear his black ribbon today. Why though? Most of the time he wore the white one so that he could remember to unravel it at night before they slept.

Just like Rei, Kai had worn his black pants and his new black scarf. Unlike his white one, Kai had not yet attacked it with weights, thread and material. Twisting the end of the scarf in his hand, he thought back to the morning he had spent with Rei and how sneaky he had been just a dream and he had to go to work. Spencer would be waiting for him so they could work out a training program for a kid.

Standing straight, Kai started to walk to the gym once again. Working there gave him a chance to help people lose extra weight so that they would be healthier and help others look better, even though it didn't work for a few in the city. At this, he let himself laugh. Instead of his normal brisk walk, Kai let himself stroll, as it seemed fitting to the mood that he was in.

The gym, at which Kai worked, was just around the corner now. People were still in bed as the sun was still asleep. Birds had barely started to sing and the grass was covered in…what looked like dew. He drew in a deep breath of air and held it. The feeling of being full of air was normal, not like the feeling of being full of food though. Just feeling like you are full of air.

Unlocking the doors of the gym he partly owned, Kai heard a very familiar voice. It was at least 100 metres away, but that didn't matter. Turning around, he watched Spencer run toward him. The giant of a man pounded down the street, with every step echoing around the empty block. Spencer's red hair was plastered to his face and head from sweat plus his very weird coloured cap.

"Where have you been? Normally the gym would be open by now Kai. Perhaps you were staying up late last night with this mysterious lover that I have yet to hear more about," Spencer said as he came to a halt right in front of Kai.

Smirking at the guy in front he replied, "Maybe I was, but at least I had a good time in the shower this morning. Plus, for some unknown reason, they gave me the idea to wear my black scarf today." It billowed behind him as the wind started to pick up.

"Very dramatic oh fearsome one, perhaps I should meet this person. They sound absolutely soul changing," he was mocking the blue haired Russian, "because you don't seem as cold hearted today." Then he walked into the gym laughing.

Spencer, you will regret laughing at my kitten and me! Kai fumed inwardly at the large mass of a man in front of him. It was one thing that Kai did not take too lightly. Insults at Rei, he prize feline man.

Running down the street, Rei fumbled with the keys in his hand. "CRAP! I'm so late!" he was late for work and it was 4 am. His hair was flying everywhere and falling out of the ribbon locks. The morning he had spent with Kai was wonderful and now he would have to pay for it.

Shoving the keys in the hole, he unlocked the door. Opening the door, Rei quickly walked in and shut the door. He went straight to the kitchen and started to roast the coffee beans in the cupboard. From Rei's seat, he could hear one of his close friends and employees walking in the front door. His shuffle was loud and so was the yawn that greeted the neko-jin in the kitchen.

"Morning Rei," the guy with green hair yawned, "you seem to be late." He pulled up a chair beside the neko-jin after tying his apron on over his black Café uniform.

"Yeah, just a tad late but still managed to arrive before you Oliver," he chided back, "plus I had a guest over last night and had to be a proper host. So don't give me any bull shit if I fall asleep during the day, alright?" Rei got up and pulled a couple of mugs out for fresh roasted coffee.

"Me too. Had a special someone over for tea and dinner. He was…they were fabulous," Ollie's eyes became distant, "his beautiful blonde hair was so silky and-"

"He? That's the first time I've heard about this master Oliver," the other neko-jin, Lee, had arrived during Ollie's musings over his special person.

"Howdy all, what's the look for Rei?" Lee's voice pierced his thoughts of who Ollie might be seeing. Quickly Rei erased the look from his face and smiled normally.

"Hi Lee. That look was my mulling look. It comes out when I start musing over who people like. In this case, it is Ollie. He has a boyfriend and I am trying to think of who it could be." He turned to see Oliver turn a deep scarlet.

"Any juicy details he let slip?" the other neko-jin was anxious to find out whatever he could about his vertically challenged Co-worker.

Shaking his head, Rei put on a sad face, "Only one or two Lee. He has blonde hair and by the sound of it may be pretty good in bed."

"REI! STOP TWISTING MY WORDS! JUST BECAUSE HE IS GOOD IN BED DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU AND YOURS GET UP TO AT NIGHT!" Ollie had cracked under the very little pressure that Rei had placed on him.

Rei started to turn a deep red colour as Ollie finished yelling his head off. Lee looked from one to the other only to fall over and piss himself laughing.

"So who floats your boat boss? Is he cute and has a cute accent or is he muscly, gentle and has a hot arse? I know your preference in partners Rei, there is no point in trying to hide it from me," Lee was very blunt, but what he said was true.

"That does not concern you dick so butt out! At least I know that me and Oliver are getting some in a loving way and not from street whores!" Rei was very protective of his personal life and liked to keep it that way. Personal.

Looking at his boss horrified, Lee knew that he had not deserved to be diminished like that but he was prying into Rei's personal life. While Rei only nudged and ran with slip ups that people made and it usually made the person spill it all out so it was their fault for telling him and not his.

"Also, I know the right buttons to push on our resident Frenchy for him to go out of his way to correct me. When he does, he lets out more then he intends to. My way is devious," his eyes glinted evilly and he started to make his way to the door to flip the sign.

"Ollie, grab your coffee and stand out the front. Lee, grab your…whatever the hell that is and try and entice the girls who walk past by washing windows. This way, when you walk in, they follow so they can see your rather cute butt."

"Did you just say what I thought you said?" the look on his face was priceless. Smirking at him, Rei started to wipe down tables and set them for a long day that was ahead of him.

"Hey Spencer, why were you late this morning?" Kai asked as he walked to the locker room. He only just noticed how heavy and how strangely Spencer was walking. Also he was wincing whenever he stood up after sitting down on a soft chair.

"Like you, I had a special someone over last night. Hey cut you a deal, if I tell you whom I am seeing, will you tell me whom you are seeing? I mean…I am just dying with anticipation here Kai," he slowly walked over to his Russian counter part.

"As long as you don't tell anyone because they don't want anyone to know really though, okay," Spencer agreed reluctantly, "you know the really good café around the corner from here?"

"Yeah, I know the place. The owner, Rei Kon, he makes the best coffee in town!"

"Well yeah of course he does! Apart from making really good coffee and being really good in bed, he is rather special to me. In fact, he is my boyfriend!" Kai was finally free to say something that had been threatening to burst for weeks. "I love Rei Kon. Just don't tell anyone I told you that okay Spence. Or my kitty will kill me."

"Rei Kon, owner of The Chinese Tigers Café, thought he was acting different whenever you walked in," Spencer chided," well mine isn't as well known as yours. He works down town at the Blue Jay. Most of the time he works on Fridays and Mondays and Wednesdays." Spencer's eyes grew distant as he thought of his vertically challenged boyfriend.

"The Blue Jay knows me pretty well since before Rei I would drink till I passed out. It is not a good idea to do that though. That's why I was usually late on Mondays."

"Wow you really do get around don't you Hiwatari!" Spencer was answered with nothing other than the infamous glare, "You know that doesn't work on me. Anyway, you remember the little bartender with the purple hair and the big nose?"

Pondering Kai goes back through his memory, "Big nose, big nose…IAN! You are going out with Ian? Wow, no wonder he was smiling the other day shopping." Kai leaned back into the door of the locker and smirked at his large friend.

"What is on your mind Hiwatari? Please tell me it is sane and not insane like the rest of the shit that inhabits your mind. I don't like that look," Spencer was getting edgy as Kai slowly moved toward his tall friend.

"Spencer, you know how you are going out with Ian and I'm going out with Rei, maybe we could all go to the movies one night to celebrate us coming out. I mean, none of us have gone out in a while so it will be fun!" Kai was smiling cutely and had won the blonde over.

"Fine, alright, I will call Ian at lunch and we will organise it for Saturday. Cause everyone is free I hope," he looked at his friend hopefully.

"Yeah, we're free."

"Rei, have you seen my black apron? It's the one with-"

"Have you looked next to the oven where you hung it yesterday Ollie?"

"What…oh it is too, thanks Rei!" the shout came out from the kitchen. Shaking his head, Rei placed a tray of dirty coffee mugs on the sink and walked out just in time to serve the first lot of customers. Among happened to be his favourite.

"How may I serve you fine gentlemen today?"

"Perhaps with a couple of kisses and a large cappuccino for me and what would you like Spence?" the man with the slate blue hair leaned on the counter staring into the golden eyes owned by Rei.

"I might have a flat white with 4 sugars thanks," a large man with blonde hair said as he gazed up at the menu. He seemed to be studying it intently, which was starting to scare Rei.

"Hmm, I can get you the coffee my blue haired friend, but the kisses are going to cost you extra," Rei replied with a cheeky grin. He leaned forward and kissed the slate haired man, letting his tongue slip into his mouth.

Pulling back, the neko-jin spoke, "So what did I deserve to see my Russian, Kai Hiwatari, today when he is supposed to be at work?"

"Well me and Spencer were planning a Saturday night at the movies, now I was wondering if I could escort you and introduce you to Ian. Now don't laugh at him cause of his nose, but he is really nice," Kai said nodding his head quickly.

"You don't have to Rei, but it would be most appreciated," Spencer had broken his intent gaze of the menu to look at the little Chinese man. Walking round the counter, Rei hugged Spencer.

"Of course I would like to come! I would like to meet this Ian that has obviously grabbed your attention Spence," he knew straight off the mark. Spencer turned a bright scarlet before returning to his intense study of the menu.

"Rei we need to get back to…WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Ollie and Lee had just walked out of the kitchen to see Rei hugging Kai.

Turning a brighter red then Spencer had just minutes before, he stumbled over his words, "Ah…this is Kai. I've been seeing him for a while now. Um…he owns the gym down the street."

"You are my trainer and you are seeing my boss. That is some whacked out shit there," Ollie was thinking out loud, but he couldn't help it.

"Okay guys, enough goggling, you have seen the show. If you don't get back to work I will make you pay a fee. You wont like the fee either!" Rei started to raise his voice at his workers.

"Yeah okay then. But I want the gossip at lunch okay Rei. Hey that rhymes!" Lee said to himself. As he walked away, he laughed at his little joke.

Kissing Kai, Rei quietly whispered, "I will see you later okay Bluey. Love you." With that Rei got Kai and Spencer's coffees and walked into the kitchen.

Sitting at one of the benches in the kitchen, Ollie and Lee sat staring at Rei, "Sooo, this is the mysterious lover that we have heard so much about. How is he in bed? Come on you have to share some details Rei."

"Lee. One, yes he is good in bed, and when I mean good, I mean it. Two, how bout we close early today so that we can all go back to our loved ones. I might just have to go for a work out." Smiling at his employees, Rei whisked around the kitchen preparing more food and coffee for the day ahead.
