Title: Sincerely Yours

Subtitle: A Never-ending Day

Summary: Kai is an all-out player; he has a different girlfriend every single week. Rei is his roommate and best friend ever since high school. They did almost everything together; there isn't a time that these two were ever separated. It didn't bother Rei much that Kai had tons of obsessive fans, and it stayed that way, just the two of them living big. That is, until Kai fell in love.

A/N: Sorry for taking 2 weeks to update this, but I hope you won't be too disappointed with this chapter since I can feel my writing skills slipping away…-sniff- they're leaving me…

Apologize for taking like a month to update this. Alright! Chapter 3 done, 7 more chapters to go...

Remember those tiring shopping trips with your friends? Or your dog? Or you parents? Or…you? Man, they were endless. All you can hear are the buzzing of people and other weird noises. Your feet is hurting like they were going to fall off any second now, your arms draped by your side, your shoulder slouched, you're carrying tons of shopping bags that weighted like 10 babies or more. You just want to sit for a while, but noooo, there is no where to sit in this entire god-damned mall anywhere! And they say they have everything…puff, what a totally liar.

So, what do you do? I mean, besides trying to wake yourself every 5 seconds while trailing slowly behind your friend who keeps telling you to hurry the hell up, cause she don't want to miss the shoe sale. Like you care. But she's your friend, and you're being the nice person that you are. So, the thing to do is pretend to be really hungry and get food, of course! Then, you can finally let go of those horribly heavy bags and sit to enjoy a nice drink, or a snack, or something to get you off your feet. There are other ways of course; I personally think this is the best way.

Okay, so besides the shopping trip, spending money on a good lunch and eating it on a restaurant roof which has a nice view is a pleasant thing to do. Besides spending the money to buy food—which is no problem at all for our rich-and-gorgeous holy being—nothing else is bad, you don't have to wash the dishes and clean the table afterwards—like Rei have to do 3 times a day—and you can get some fresh air at the same time—which is what our great-looking redhead needs—, so everything's good, I mean you forgive your friend after a little while of enjoying the afternoon sunshine and having a light chat over the delicious meal—of course, nothing is more delicious than Rei's cooking, trust me, I stole some food when I was sneaking into their house (XP). What? A fan never rests!—and just relaxing.

And afterwards, you can dump those shopping bags in the car and relax on the beach. Seeing a glimpse of Kai's chest, and getting a tan? How can life get better than that?

Well, that'll never happen to you.

Reality check! Geez…

Okay, stop drooling.

Stop it! You're killing your keyboard!

Ewww…

You're making a fool of yourself again…

Stop it.

…

DING DONG

That was the most horrible thing Kai has ever heard in his life. The damn doorbell rang first thing in the morning, ringing what little sleep he had out of his system.

/Crap…/

"I'll get it!"

Of course, Rei's voice brought a little comfort to him, making him relax his tensed body, and slipping back under his crimson covers to catch a light nap before it's really his time to wake up.

"Hi! You guys wake up early."

"Yeah, we couldn't wait for a tour around Tokyo, especially this part of it."

"We just can't resist the beach and everything." Beach? In the midst of winter? Someone's a little crazy.

"And I must go to the mall. I have to do a little Christmas shopping."

"Great," Rei smiled nervously, not at all welcoming the idea of shopping, and he knows it won't be just a 'little' one, "did you all eat breakfast yet?"

"No…we were thinking you wouldn't mind having a few more over for breakfast…"

"Oh…" He was shocked for a second, since there were so many of them. But regaining his control over his mouth, "of course not! I'll go prepare it right now."

"Thanks Rei, you're the best!" Before the pink fuzz could launch one of her breath-restricting, circulation-stopping hugs, Rei had quickly gotten away, and disappeared into the kitchen on the far side.

"Yo, are Takao and the others still not up?" Michael inquired from across the room, still by the door trying to take his shoes off.

"Well, Takao isn't but the rest is, their out the back." I guess either Rei purposely left Kai's sleeping habits out for his sake, or he didn't know about it…which would be weird considering the fact that they've been the best of friends for 10 years.

"Well, call us when breakfast is ready. K?"

"You guys go, I'm gonna stay and help Rei with breakfast." Mao bounced in excitement and smiled at the raven-haired student, aww, does our little pink-obsessed freak wants to spend quality time with her Rei-Rei? Puff, don't look at me, I've tried to put it in the nicest way, and it still gives me the creeps.

"Actually, he prefers to be left alone when he cooks," Tala said, leaning on the sliding glass door that led to the garden, "he needs his concentration."

Rei gave an unnoticed sign of relief as Mao blinked in confusion before knitted her eyebrows together and reluctantly agreed to it, and as she stepped through the door, she side-glanced the redhead suspiciously before exiting the house. Rei smiled in gratitude towards the Russian, the other shrugged in a whatever, before too leaving the house.

/I think pancakes will do./

And so he began his daily routine, being responsible for the three meals and other house chores. By the time the 'guests' (more like intruders) started flowing back into the house from lack of activity outside the garden; Rei had already prepared the table and had a large dish holding up a pile of pancakes in the centre of the dining table. He was able to set the syrup beside it before the smell of food attracted everyone over.

Rei excused himself from the dining table, saying he had to go to the washroom. But, once he got to the second floor, he headed straight to Kai's bedroom. So I guess he did know about the blunette's sleeping habits, awww, what a great friend huh?

On entering the darkness that was Kai's bedroom, he quietly made his way across the floor, using what little light he had that was seeping through the tiny gap of the curtains. He saw the lump on the bed and smiled slightly at the thought of Kai being such a lazy person, when everything else about him seems to be extremely prefect. He sat himself down on the edge of the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress and the smooth surface of Kai's crimson covers like before. He slowly reached his hand out, prepared to wake Kai up, but as his hand came millimeters away from contact, he hesitated.

/What the? I should wake him up. It's not like he deserves to sleep since he came home early yesterday and left me and Tala to the abundance of guests. So…why the hell am I thinking this over/

For a moment his hand stayed in midair, not knowing what to do or what the hell was wrong with him today. Was it because he thought waking the blunette would infuriate him? No, that wasn't case, because he's woken the Russian millions of times before and he never got frustrated. Well, come to think of it, Kai never got frustrated or angry at Rei, ever. Was it because he thought he should let the blunette stay a little longer in his dreamland? Was it because he thought that if he woke him, Kai would just leave for another one of his dates?

Was it?

/Nuh…whatever. I'll just let him sleep in today. /

He gave himself no reason for his actions; it bugged him, but only for a short period of time. As unfortunately, Takao woke up since Max was bouncing off his bed multiple times, well, actually that wasn't woke him. Max couldn't wake him by jumping on his bed, so he decided to tell the Japanese that there was food on the table downstairs. You cannot imagine how fast Takao can be when he really wants to be, I mean, it's like he flew down the stairs and into the dining in a matter of seconds. For an overweighed person like him, it's unbelievable (no offense to Takao-fans, he's just too good of a person to not pick on.). And he is currently eating happily away while singing carols again, this time worse because he is singing with his mouth full, very disgusting mind you.

"Takao, would you quit caroling with you mouth full!"

"Oh woah! I never knew the shopping mall would be this big!" You could practically see the sparkles in her eyes, Mingming seemed like the girls that adores shopping since she is practically the most spoiled girl Rei has ever seen.

"Big? It's gigantic! " The pink blob outstretched her arms to emphasis her point, which accidentally slammed into Takao who was still wobbling from this morning's chocking scene.

Oh right, I left that part out didn't I? Well, After Hilary told Takao to stop caroling, Takao started complaining with his mouth still full, and therefore grossing everyone even more, if that's possible. And awhile later, Kai finally woke up and came down, but seeing Takao talking with his mouth full first thing in the morning isn't a pleasant start. Well okay, he saw Rei first, but still! It's not pleasant to see Takao like that any time of the day. So, Kai as usual, got grumpy and whacked the blunette across the head, resulting in a full on chocking scene. While everyone was trying to help Takao recover, Kai had simply watched the amusing scene from afar with Tala while Rei had busied himself with the piles of dishes.

Yep, I think that's about it. I don't know what happened after that, and how the hell they managed to drag Kai along on this shopping trip. Eh, go figure.

So, back to what I'm currently on. I have followed them all day, and me being a girl who also loves to shop, I shouldn't get tired right? Well, if you consider hiding behind every object to avoid being seen, and doing that for about, 10 hours! Anyone would get tired. And my poor bishies…well, Kai doesn't show much exhaust at all, it's Kai after all. But Rei and Tala were just dying. Along with the others of course, just not Mao, Mingming nor Hilary. The girls are still currently in their land of dreams, going through the variety of clothes and jewelries.

Lunch was great, a time for relaxing and resting. While the girls chatted happily away at all the things they've managed to buy, Rei had sat there with half of his food finished, staring towards the faraway seashore. He always loved the sea; it was so vast and everlasting. Kai had considered taking him on a submarine once to see what was under it, but Rei insist on just observing it. He wanted his imagination to run wide, not wanting to see reality. Oh but don't get it wrong, just because he doesn't want to see the world undersea, doesn't mean he hates water.

Well, he used to since he is a neko-jin, but changed his mind immediately when Kai constructed an indoor swimming pool in his mansion back in Russia. Now, whenever he gets a chance he would take a dip. It was fun in water, you don't have to care so much about gravity all the time and since the area was built with a top made of glass, he could just float around sometimes, watching the clouds go by.

Heh, just some extra info if you wanted to know. Well, back to the current moment.

There wasn't much, besides the fact that Kai was on his cell, and no, I cannot translate Russian, so I had no idea what he was talking to or about. Tala is dozing off. Takao, well, you can guess what he's doing. Max is on a sugar high since someone decides to buy him sweets. Hiro and Brooklyn had wandered off into their own little world, deciding to spend the day by themselves around Tokyo instead of with this butch of little kids. And…okay, no time to describe other useless people. Let's move on, as if your life isn't already the dullest thing in the world.

"Tokyo University looks so pretty!" They are standing in the entrance of Tokyo University, some admiring how beautiful the school looked, others stuffing their mouths full, or if you want to know, the sugar-holic is holding…well…sweets. And some…are clinging to Rei's arm. And some are…talking to a girl?

Wait, wait.

Oh, will you look at that, our Mr. Perfect-and-gorgeous is currently talking to a lovely young girl. Like that isn't typical. And look at that! In less than 5 seconds of meeting, she's already flying into lala-land. No, just kidding. But he did just ask her out on a date. Aren't you jealous. Well, introductions. Her name is…eh…shh, let me hear! Oh, the name is Elizabeth, lovely. She is Kai's 30th girlfriend? Or is it 40…not quite sure. But a player's a player. The good thing about her is, she doesn't faint or drool when she sees Kai, like so many others. So I guess she's either very good at hiding her obsession or she's not a total fan of his, which is like…totally impossible.

Oh, right, forgot about the others. I hope Tala's okay, I mean he looks extremely tired for some reason. And Rei, well, he's trying to pry the pink blob off his arm, in a gentle and kind way of course, which will never work. Takao and Max are making tons of snowballs, Michael and—wait! Snowballs? Oh man, trouble.

In the next second or two, a ton of snowballs were thrown around, by two very naughty and mischievous people. One is a pig, the other is a sugar-holic (XP Oh I just can't get enough out of these two…) In return, like how every snowball fights, goes they get snowballs thrown back, hitting them square on the face. And as the back and forth revenge continues, a snowball fight began. Mao had been desperate trying to save Rei from every snowball that were thrown in their way, she failed miserably. Not that Rei got hit, he's too fast. And during this little fun game in the winter where everyone acts like monkeys, Kai has mysteriously disappeared along with Elizabeth and Tala had sat down on one of the far benches and watched, resting his head a bit. He's definitely lacking sleep.

Rei, being the person that he is, noticed that the redhead wasn't in on the fun. He looked around, spotting the said person sitting alone. This was probably the only successful time he had ever gotten out of Mao's grip, and in the chaos of it, Rei walked over to sit beside his friend.

"Hi, you okay?" the Asian put his hand lightly on the other's shoulder and asked in slight concern.

"Mm? Oh, fine. Just feeling a little exhausted." Tala reassured, and gave a small smile.

"You're not coming down with a cold are you?" Not convinced, Rei continued to concern himself with his friend's health

"Rei, I've lived in Russia for almost all my life, I don't get colds easily." The redhead reminded.

"Right, forgot." There was only a silence between now, as they looked over to their group of friends who were laughing and playing, having a great time. Rei signed lightly, and his lips curved upward in a small smile.

"You having fun?"

"Yeah, it's great."

"Are you sure you're not a little…upset?" The unexpected question made Rei stunted for a second, before he reassured the elder one.

"Upset? No! Of course not, it's the holidays, why would I be upset?" The smile returned to him, this time bigger, maybe it was real, maybe it was just a cover-up. Who knows.

"Oh, then it must have been my imagination playing tricks on me." The Russian shrugged, and looked over at his friend once more before depriving his gaze back to the childish display in front of them.

/It must have been, because I've never seen you this down before, Rei. /

Just then, the first snowflake of the day fell, followed by millions. It was snowing again. Rei looked up at the sky, and a light smile was placed onto his features as he felt snowflakes land on his face and hands. It wasn't long before the confusion in his mind disappeared once again. And it wasn't long before Mao discovered that Rei had managed to escape her death grip.

"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei!"

That broke what ever peace and silence Rei had, chased all calmness out of his system and totally just destroyed his eardrums. And again, there was that pink blob clingingto his arm,and he's first task still remains, to pry her off! Good luck Rei.

To Be Continued...

A/N: That was a total waste of a chapter, I know…I'm in one of those moods where you can write, but all you write is crap, crap and more crap. I can't seem to write anything good these days. Maybe it's the ability wearing off on me…-gasps- nooooo! -Wails- R&R, flame me, hate me, love me, whatever you feel like saying, just say it in your review! Hope to see your comment, or…criticism. Ja!
