Chapter 5:
It was around eight when Kai walked in and took his shoes off. Tyson, Max and Ray were sitting on the floor playing on the ps2. Then "PLAYER 3 WINS!" came up flashing on the screen. By the looks on the other two's faces, Ray was the winner though he wasn't going to brag about. Tyson threw down his controller and stood up facing Kai.
"And where have you been?"
"Out" Kai replied coldly not affected by Tyson.
"I know that! We've been waiting for you to start dinner. You could have said you were going to be this late!"
"You didn't have to wait and I didn't know I was going to be this late" Kai said walking to sit on the couch. Tyson's eye's never left him.
"Some of us are polite enough to wait until everyone is there to eat."
"You not being one of them" Kai said looking up at Tyson from the couch. Tyson was about to boil. But Kai was right, and everyone in the room knew it. The only reason Tyson hadn't had dinner was because Ray had refused to cook twice. Ray thought it best to separate the two before it got out of hand.
"C'mon Ty, you can help me start dinner" Ray stood up and grabbed Tyson's arm, dragging him towards the kitchen. On the way out, Tyson shot Max a "why?" look and then disappeared into the kitchen.
Max shuffled forward and turned off the ps2, grabbed the TV flicker and shuffled back to lean against the couch Kai was sitting on.
"Good day?" Max asked not daring to look at Kai. He started flicking through the channels to find something to watch.
"Alright" Kai mumbled absent mindedly watching the changing pictures. And they fell into a silence until Kai spoke.
"You know you can sit on the couch, I won't bite." Max blushed at how silly he felt about sitting on the floor and there is a perfectly fine seat and blushed at the immediate thought that came to his head when Kai said it, 'unfortunately'. Trying to avoid looking like an idiot, Max responded.
"You'll be surprised how comfortable the floor can be. Besides, I wouldn't be so sure after your argument with Tyson just there." Max gave Kai his Oscar-winning smile that Kai couldn't help but smirk at. A few minutes later, Tyson came in, looked at Max and then frowned at Kai.
"So what, aren't people allowed to sit on the same couch as you now?" He walked passed Max and snatched the flicker from his hands and sat on the smaller couch. Max gave a little scowl; he was getting into the program.
"Actually, I offered but he's comfortable where he is." Kai answered still staring at the TV.
"He doesn't look comfy" Tyson mumbled.
"Can you two stop bickering for a couple of minutes? Honestly Tyson, I'm quite comfy were I am but if it makes you happy…" he got up and sat on the seat he was leaning against.
"I wouldn't sit there Max; he might go off in a strop. You do realise there's less then 10 meters between you." Tyson stared so hard at Kai when he said that, he could of burnt holes through his body. Kai turned to face Tyson ready to say his comeback when Ray walked in.
"God you two, can't you just give it a rest. Sheesh, you're like a married couple." Kai ignored the statement and turned back to the TV. Tyson looked, shocked, at Max to see his reaction.
"Ha! They are as well! So guy's when's the honeymoon? Ray and I could do a break from your arguing." Tyson stared at him in utter shock, that wasn't the reaction he was expecting. Ray and Max kept laughing.
"Shut up Max" Tyson finally said in a low angry voice. "And when's dinner?"
"Afraid not for another couple hours, sorry guys"
"That's alright Ray, we all know whose fault it is!" Tyson scowled at Kai again. Max and Ray couldn't help but laugh.
They were watching a pretty pathetic film but there wasn't anything else on. Although it was a bit boring, they were all following it. Max began to feel uncomfortable. He liked to curl up, especially when watching a film. Kai already had his feet up on the couch so Max lifted his very gently, trying to avoid contacted. About half an hour had passed when Max stretched his legs out a bit forgetting Kai's legs were there. His feet touched Kai's legs and he jumped a bit. He looked at Kai, who didn't seem to notice but he said sorry none the less. Kai turned to him and lifted his legs off the couch.
"s'alright." He said rather…softly for Kai. There was a small smile on his lips and he turned back to the film. Max could feel his cheeks heat up.
