A/N: Yet another Beyblade fic! The idea of this story actually came to me during my Music Theory class. I really tried to pay attention, but…the professor's voice is so quiet my mind just wandered. Thus this story! Unlike the things I've been posting, this isn't going to be a one-shot. I don't know how many chapters it's going to end up being, but it probably won't be very long. In any case, let me know what you think. Thanks and enjoy!

Warnings: Contains yaoi, meaning male/male relationships. Don't like, don't read. It's quite simple, really.

Disclaimer: Wish I could lay claim to the wonderful anime called Beyblade, but sadly I can't.

Pairings: Kai/Rei. What else would I write? Well, besides Tyson/Max.

Summary: Established Kai/Rei. Rei's been poisoned and it's unknown if he'll pull through. Can love do what medicine can't?

Finding You Again

Prologue

The sun rose slowly, biding its time until it was high enough to send its rays into the hotel room of two unsuspecting lovers. Once it reached its destination, it rejoiced in its sadistic morning ritual. It watched with glee as one of the boys was roused from his sleeping state, ruby eyes slowly blinking open. The sun was far too used to the glare the boy sent its way for it to be intimidated, so it moved its sights onto the second figure on the bed.

Watching the sun shift its rays to the person next to him, the ruby-eyed boy decided the sun had the right idea and follow suite. Rolling slightly to his right, Kai let a rare smile grace his face as he took in the sleeping form of, what he considered, the most beautiful being on the Earth.

He reached over with the arm that wasn't holding his precious person close to him to brush a lock of raven hair from closed eyes. Once that errant lock was tucked behind a pointed ear, Kai found his fingers trailing softly over the other's face, tracing the line of his jaw. After he had felt every inch of soft skin in that area, his hand moved to cup the side of the sleeping boy's cheek, his thumb gently running over slightly parted, rosy lips. Finding them irresistible, the ruby-eyed boy leaned down to brush his lips against his partner's. After a few moments, he was rewarded with his kiss being returned.

Rei was roused from his sleep by a feather-light touch. Having gotten used to his lover's morning displays of affection, he was easily woken by them. How could he miss a moment of Kai openly declaring his love, especially when he was so secret about it the rest of the time? He couldn't. The raven-haired boy waited for his wake-up kiss with his ever-growing love for the boy beside him. He could hardly contain his smile when he felt a pair of lips covering his own and eagerly returned it.

When Kai pulled away, Rei blinked his eyes open, revealing one of the captain's favorite features on his koi. He looked down at the golden-eyed boy beneath him whose lips were slowly forming into a sleepy smile.

"Hey," Kai whispered, again tracing the skin of Rei's cheek with his thumb.

"Hey," Rei whispered back, smile widening slightly. Leaning up a bit, he planted a quick kiss on the other's lips before going back into a lying position on the bed. From there, he arched his back and stretched, letting out a contented sound as he did so.

The bluenet watched in appreciation as his lover's body flexed beneath him. When he was done stretching the sleep out of his muscles, Kai swooped down for another kiss. Instead of the passionate kiss one might expect after a display of litheness, it was slow and sweet. Kai wanted to make sure Rei knew how much he loved him and poured all his emotions into that one gesture.

Rei had always been the best at reading Kai and interpreting his actions, so the intent was not lost on him; far from it. He knew Kai was kissing him the way that meant the most to the Neko-jin, the way that brought him the most pleasure. To let the other know he understood and he was loved just as strongly in return, Rei reciprocated the act, drawing a small gasp from his lover.

When they pulled back, they looked deep into each other's eyes, trying to convey everything that couldn't be put into words. The silent conversation was ended when Rei planted a chaste kiss on Kai's lips and sat up.

"I should go make breakfast."

In a rare gesture of childish petulance, Kai pouted. "Why? You do it every morning."

Rei laughed at his koi's antics. "I know I do. Would you rather Tyson come barging in here looking for me?" he asked, his eyes sparkling in amusement.

"He wouldn't dare. He knows I'd kill him."

An eyebrow raised. "This is Tyson we're talking about, not to mention it's before breakfast. His brain isn't exactly working."

"His brain isn't exactly working the rest of the time, either," Kai pointed out.

The tiger blader giggled and nodded. "True. In any case, I wouldn't put it past him. You'd better let me go before he—"

"Rei!"

"—starts yelling for me." The Neko-jin sighed and looked pointedly at the boy still holding his waist.

Kai echoed his sigh and released him from his protective hold. "All right. Go make your food," he said dejectedly, looking down at the bed.

Rei smiled patiently at him, loving the playful side of his lover he had never seen before they fell in love. Hoping to pacify him, Rei moved so he was straddling the captain and gave him an intense kiss, slowing to the kind they had shared just minutes ago. When they pulled apart, he looked deep into ruby eyes. "I love you."

Kai smiled and ran his hand through Rei's black hair, coming to rest on the side of his face. "I love you, too. Now go. Save Tyson from certain death."

"And what would that be?" Rei asked, getting to his feet.

"Me if he doesn't shut up."

The Neko-jin laughed, kissed his lover's forehead, and exited the room.
