"Thank you SO much Rei! You're my favourite beyblader –ever-!" an excited young boy squealed in delight as the nekojin bladder handed back to him a signed beyblade. His enthusiasm caused his hero to grin and ruffle the boy's hair.
"No problem kiddo, I'm here to serve my fans. What's your name?" he replied, crouching down so he was at the child's level.
"Anson!" the boy exclaimed, his eyes having near turned to stars with happiness. All these people in the hotel corridor and the only one the Great White Tiger was paying attention to was him. The kids in school would be so jealous of him come Monday! Anson's mother was standing behind him, holding her son's backpack and bag of goodies he'd collected throughout the day along with one all-important device; a camera.
"Ahh, Rei?" the woman asked, feeling odd about using the first name of a celebrity but she couldn't recall his last name at the moment; all her son ever went on about was Rei the White Tiger blader. The teen looked up at her with big, curious eyes and her son turned towards her as well.
"Yes?" Rei replied with his friendly smile pointed at her now. The woman blushed the slightest bit. Suddenly she understood why her co-worker's teenage daughter loved this young man every bit as much as her own son did. She held up the camera and forced herself to remember she was a married woman and old enough to be the teen's mother.
"Would we be able to get a picture? For Anson to show his friends?" she requested with a hopeful smile that her son mimicked.
"Oh ya! Please Rei? That'd be sooooooooo cool!" he bounced on his toes as he asked eyes full of childish hope. Who was Rei so say no to that? He wouldn't have anyway, but he made a game of answering the question.
"Weeeeeell…..of course." He tapped at his lips while he pondered their question then winked when he answered. Anson squealed in delight and tackled Rei to hug him for the photo. After a few quick snaps, the mother put the camera away and smiled at the pair of boys.
"Alright Anson, I think you've hung off your hero long enough. Time to leave him be." She said gently, knowing her little boy wouldn't want to leave Rei's side for the rest of the day if he had the chance.
"But moooooooom…." The protest she expected came as a whine, the little boy's eyes wide and lip pouted out for full effect. Before she could answer however, the nekojin did it for her.
"Remember to respect your elder's Anson, especially your parents. They know best. You don't want to miss all the other bladers that are hanging around do you?" Rei chided his fan very carefully, giving him a small dose of the wisdom his team mates knew him for. The boy looked up at his hero, taking a moment to think on his words then nodded.
"Okay Rei. I'll cheer for you at the tournament!" Anson agreed and went back to his mother who led him away, the boy waving over his shoulder every few steps. Rei had to chuckle a bit to himself. Fans like that were just too cute and the reason he always wanted to come to these conventions. If he could make one child smile, then a weekend of hassle and being stuffed in a closet was worth it.
Thinking of being crammed in the closet, he absently wondered what Bryan had been up to so far today. He hadn't seen him or any of the other Russians. He'd just lost Tyson and Max thirty minutes early at the arcade and had happily wandered about alone since then. If he managed to find Bryan, perhaps they could sneak off to the room for a little while together. As he walked through a surprisingly empty hallway to go to the next panel he was speaking on, a janitor's closet door cracked open and a hand reached out. Grabbing the back of the youth's collar, the hand dragged the nekojin into the small space. Eyes wide and elbow ready to jab back into his abductor's stomach, Rei was stilled by the voice in his ear.
"Easy Tiger." The voice was soft, icy and accented which relaxed the Chinese teen instantly.
"Bryan, why are you in a janitor's closet?" he asked with a chuckle, leaning back into his partner's arms. The other didn't answer with words, instead pressed his lips to tawny skin to mark his property again. Content in Bryan's tight hold for the moment and enjoying the shivers of pleasure that the kisses were sending through him, Rei took in the atmosphere of the closet. The main light was off, only the emergency light on and bathing the small area in a soft green glow. It was almost as cramped as the closet that Rei had decided to sleep in and was nearly as chilly as well. Apart from the smell of cleaning detergents and an old mop, the place could be a mini disco for two. The nekojin chuckled at the image and tried to turn in his lover's arms to tell him his thought.
The Falcon was having none of this however. Holding Rei even tighter against his chest with his arm, his hand worked at popping the buttons down the front of the Tiger's shirt, while his other hand slid down his lover's chest to the crotch of his pants. Despite their being in a closet, the nekojin couldn't find a protest anywhere in him, revelling in the tingling feelings that Bryan's touches was sending through him like little shocks of electricity. Suddenly both the hands that were exploring his body grabbed his hips and spun him around, letting surprised golden eyes connect with hungry moonlight. Pressing their body's close together, Bryan placed a hand beneath the tiger's chin to tilt his head upwards; Rei's lips parted for a kiss before his lover even began to move in and found himself like that for several moments before he opened his eyes again to look up at him.
"Umm….Bryan?" he asked, confused again. Of course it was then that the Russian decided to press their lips together in a scorching kiss that caused the Chinese's world to spin again and his knees to buckle. Quickly wrapping his arms around the other's neck, the nekojin clung to his lover support and fought back in the kiss. He knew he'd never get dominance this time but he refused to be completely passive. The kiss broke as suddenly as everything else that had happened in the small space, leaving Rei stunned yet again and his chest heaving against Bryan's for a breath.
"Alright…no more of this until you tell me why we're in a closet." He panted, moving a hand from around his lover's neck to his chest to him away the slightest bit. Bryan smirked in reply and pulled a card from his pocket, brushing the corner of it over the other's lip.
"I'm not well, so I'm going to lay down for a few hours until the tournament. Or so Tala and Kai think." He explained his smirk growing as his kitten caught on to what he was saying. He was quick, that little Chinese cat. His own lips developed a sly smile as Rei wound his arm back around Bryan's neck and pulled him close again.
"You poor thing. Someone will have to come check on you then." He replied, gently massaging the back of the other's neck which drew a soft moan from him. The sly smile became cheeky and he kept doing it, pressing his hips tighter against his lover's at the same time, moving them with a slow grind.
"Y-ya. Someone needs to come up." Bryan barely cleared his head enough for the reply, leaning in for another kiss which was denied him. Slipping away under his arm, deeper into the closet, Rei set about re-buttoning his shirt.
"I have a panel still before I'm free. It's a short one however and it's in like 5 minutes. I'll be up to make you all better after that." Rei explained, finishing with his buttons and pushing a curtain of black from his eye. "Can you wait that long?" he teased, inwardly snickering at the obviously rough time that Bryan was having recomposing himself. The Russian finally got himself together again and pointed a finger at his lover.
"You, are the biggest tease –ever-." He replied with a slight scowl that just made the nekojin laugh.
"And you love it. See you later." Rei chuckled, nipping the finger before batting it away. Making sure he was properly dressed again, he took the few steps to the exit and gave the Falcon one last light kiss before opening the door and peeking out to check the hallway. It was mostly empty so he slipped out and trotted off for the room his panel was in. The next half hour couldn't possibly go fast enough for him.
