Disclaimer: don't own it T.T

Omg I'm sooooooo sorry for not updating this ficcy for a while! I was kinda stuck on what to do next but I've figured it out. This fanfic is only one of the 7 fanfics that I'm going to be writing to make up what I call the 'Weekday Trilogy'. If anyone wants the summery for the other 6 fics, just email me at IM me on AIM at wannacmyknives. Anyway, on with the 3rd chappie!

thoughts are /.../ and in italics

Kai whirled around in hearing Rei's fearful mewl. All he saw a flash of white. The Russian blader then shrugged and went back to cooking, silently thinking about the drawing…and of Rei.

/I can't believe -Rei- drew that! I mean, Cat boy is the goody goody of the group. The one who doesn't do anything wrong or wild. I would if I should confront him about the drawing or just pretend I never saw it at all and save him some embarrassment…though, he -is- rather cute when he blushes…wait…where the hell did -that- thought come from/

Kai snapped out of his thoughts in feeling a soft tap on his shoulder. He looked back and saw an all too familiar cheerful blond looking up at him meekly.

"What do you want!" Kai snapped, making Max shrink back slightly.

"T-Tyson wanted to know when dinner was gonna be done…"

"What, are you his little messenger boy!"

The blond blinked and shook his head.

"No…"

"Then why didn't he get off his fat ass and come ask me?"

Max shrugged and smiled at Kai cheerfully.

"I dunno. So, when's dinner gonna be done?"

Kai rolled his eyes. "10 minutes tops. Go tell the fat ass to get up off his fat ass and do something useful for once like setting the table. And you, you go get Rei. He's up in his room"

Max merely nodded and said a cheerful "Okay" before disappearing back into the living room, loudly telling Tyson everything Kai said, right down to the exact words. Kai listened in from the kitchen. The Russian rolled his eyes and smiles a half smile. Max always listens to him. If Kai told him to jump off of a bridge, Max would ask where and when. The all American blond was like a little brother to Kai and looked up to him, even if Kai didn't treat him nicely all the time.

Rei sat on his bed, silently cursing his stupidness.

/Ugh! I can't believe I left my sketchbook down there like that! I wonder if he even knows its mine…SHIT! I wrote my now on it! Damn I'm so stupid! Though I -do- wonder what he thought of it…I –did- have to guess on certain…areas…I think I drew him a little -too- big…/

A loud knock on his door snapped the neko-jin out of his thoughts and back to reality.

"REI! Kai said to come get you! Dinner is almost done!

Rei frown and groaned softly.

/Shit…I don't think I can face Kai right now. I wonder if I should stay here and fake sick or if I should just go ahead and get it over with…/

"REI! COME ON!"

Rei rolled his eyes, but smiled slightly. "I'm coming Maxie! And you don't have to yell. I'm not deaf!"

Rei slowly climbed off of his bed and went to the door, hesitatingly opening it revealing the cheerful blond. Max smiled sheepishly at Rei.

"Sorry..."

Rei smiled slightly. Max always had this air about him that made people feel better if they were down.

"It's okay Maxie..."

Max then grabbed the neko-jin by the arm and started dragging him down the stairs. "Kai cooked a bunch of food!" Max said as they went down the stairs. "But…why was he wearing -your- frilly apron? It was kinda scary seeing -Kai- in -that-."

Rei merely shrugged as he and Max stepped into the dinning room, arms linked. Rei and Kai refused to look at each other as they all sat down for dinner. Tyson and Max exchanged confused and wary looks. Yes, this was going to prove to be a long night indeed.

Hope this chapter was worth the wait! Please review! It makes me update faster! .
