Last chappy. I hope you enjoy.
Kai sits quietly on the sand, looking out over the ocean. He comes here often just to get away from things, to clear his head. And to sulk and brood in private more often than not. But right now Kai is mentally kicking himself for letting Hiro do that to him, especially just coming back from a date with Ray last night.
He sighs sadly to himself, wondering what should he do now. Should he tell Ray and let him be heartbroken? Or should he just pretend it never happen, letting Ray continue dating Hiro? For the first time in a long time Kai doesn't know what to do and that scares him. He is so used to be in control of his feelings but now any control that he had before has gone flying out the window, along with his self-respect. He felt used in some way.
Kai is so deep in though that he fails to notice Ray walk up behind him until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Slightly startled Kai turns around.
"I though I'd find you here. You weren't at the place we agreed to meet yesterday."
Kai mentally curses, he is not having a good day. First he overslept which gave him one hell of a headache then Tyson appeared and started ranting something about how he was unstoppable. Then he had to go to the park and wait for Ray so he can hear about how his wonderful date went with Hiro, but then Hiro appears and kissed him passionately, which Kai wouldn't have minded if Hiro wasn't already with Ray. Then in a fit panic tore himself out of Hiro's arms and ran out of the park, completely forgetting about the arrange meeting with Ray.
"Sorry, about that, um…" Kai isn't entirely sure of what he should say. He can't say "Jeez I'm sorry Ray I must've been too busy making out with your boyfriend and completely forgot about the time." Yeah, right.
"Kai, I saw you and Hiro. Earlier, in the park." Kai goes silently, his mind reeling, unconsciously waiting for Ray to scream at him, accusing him of betraying him. But he didn't. "He must be one hell of a good kisser. I wouldn't know."
Kai blinks once and then twice. "Why wouldn't you know?" he asks slowly. They went out last night, together, surely they would have kissed at least once.
Ray offers a small smile. "He never kissed me last night. I wanted him to but he didn't seem to be interested in me that way."
"Why not?" Kai asks before he could stop himself. I mean it's Ray here, why wouldn't Hiro want to kiss him but yet he goes and kiss him. Kai is starting to believe that this is some sort of a joke or a really messed up dream.
"Because he is in love with you," Ray tells him simply, then laughs softly when he saw Kai disbelieving look. He then decides to tell Kai what Hiro told him, that unbelieving expression never leaving his face.
"You're kidding. You have to be. Why would anyone choose me over you? I mean I'm a cold, heartless bastard, I'm weak and…"
Slap!
Kai hand gingerly touches his cheek where Ray had just slapped him, his eyes wide, holding a hint of confusion and betrayal. Ray's eyes are hard but then soften considerably when he sees Kai's slightly scared expression before he put up his cold mask once again.
"Stop it. Stop being so hard on yourself, Kai. You are not weak and you defiantly are not a cold, heartless bastard, for once in your life think about yourself!"
Kai stares at Ray in complete shock. He has seen him angry a couple of times but he has never been on the receiving end before. "They why does everyone…?"
"Because they're are too self-centered and stupid to see the real you." Ray moves and places his hands on Kai's shoulders, ready to shake sense into him if he has too. "You are a beautiful and an amazing person. I see that and so does Hiro. That's why you're my best friend and Hiro is in love with you."
"Ray…"
"Go to him, Kai. He loves you and you love him, no point in denying it, is there?"
"But, what about you?"
Ray gave Kai a neko grin and removes his hands. "Didn't I say before to start thinking about yourself for a change? Anyway what I feel for Hiro was just a crush, I'll get over it. Just you see I'll be swooning over someone else soon."
Kai smiles openly and hugs Ray. "Thanks Ray." Ray returns the hug then pushes Kai out of his arms and towards the direction of where Hiro can be found.
"Now off with you. Go find your soul mate. I'm pretty sure he is getting impatient."
Kai nods and leaves, slightly jogging away from the beach. Ray sighs and then smiles, feeling happy with himself. The feelings of hurt and rejection have completely disappeared when he saw the happiness in Kai's eyes. Ray turns to leave the beach as well but bumps into a rather hot looking brunette.
"Oh, hey Dj, you looking for someone?"
"Oh, hi Ray. No, not really. Just taking some time off."
"Oh, cool why don't I show you some quite, secluded places to hang out."
Dj smiles widely at the neko-jin. "I'd like that."
"So would I." Ray grabs Dj's arm and began to show him around. Getting over Hiro is easier than he thought.
… … … … … …
Kai runs through the streets, heading to Hiro's apartment. He stops in front of the multistory apartment complex. He catches his breath and wanders inside, slightly nervous, hoping everything goes well. He walks into the lift and punches in the floor number, fidgeting slightly. The doors ding open and Kai walks out, slowly heading to the door that hopefully had Hiro on the other side. He takes a deep breath and knocks twice. A few intense seconds later the door opens to reveal Hiro. His button up shirt was open slightly revealing his tanned collarbone and chest.
Kai rubs his arm nervously. "There was a bit of misunderstanding," he mumbles, embarrassed, not use to this sort of situation.
Hiro smiles softly and steps aside letting Kai in. "I know, Ray told me everything."
Kai nods and walks inside, standing near the coach, too nervous to take a seat. Hiro closes the door softly and walks over to Kai. "I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have…"
Kai shakes his head. "I didn't mind, I just thought…"
He trails off as Hiro closes the distance between them. Kai blush when he feels himself being pulled into Hiro's strong chest, his hands trapped against him. Kai looks up at Hiro and watches mesmerized as he lowers his head and gather his lips in a kiss. Kai's eyes slid shut, loosing himself in the kiss. Hiro's tongue teases the corners of his mouth then slips inside, searching and tasting. Kai clings to Hiro as he legs went out from under him as the passion increased. Reluctantly they pulled apart when the need for air grew to annoying to ignore.
Kai sighs and snuggles into Hiro's chest, feeling his arms wrap tighter around him. Now,this is something he can difinitely get use too.
Aw, how cute. There's simply isn't enough Hiro/Kai fics, is there? (Huggles them) Slightly longer that the other two but I'm pleased with it none the less.
I will do a sequel. I thought of one, but I was in a bit of a foul mood.
Read and review. Ta, lots of love.
