Hey peeps. I'm afraid it's another crap chapter but it's building up to something. Thanks again to reviews and if you manage to make it through this boring chapter, there's a bit of a preview of the next chapter...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, Kai decided to go to bed early. He wasn't interested in what the "idiots" had to say. Soon after, the others went to bed. Max entered his bedroom to find a moody Kai (big change!). He was sat in bed, arms crossed over his bare chest; Max's love bite clearly visible.

"Problem?" Max smirked.

"No…" Kai kept his eyes on the blanket.

"Good!" Max took off his t-shirt and walked over to Kai. He sat down on the bed and hugged him, putting his arms around the older boy's shoulders and resting his head against his chest. He heard Kai sigh and a couple of strong arms around his waist. "Thanks" Max whispered.

"What for?" Kai mumbled. The blonde lifted his head to look in the phoenix's face, a huge grin on his lips.

"For telling them it was a girlfriend." Kai smirked.

"Well as long as you're comfortable with being called a girl"

"You know what I mean!" after a moment of silence, Max shuffled toward Kai and kissed him gently on the lips. When he pulled away, he buried his face is Kai's neck. "Love you…" Kai pulled him closer and rested his head on the blonde hair.

"Love you too…" he answered. This was their third night of being a couple. The first two they had passionate sex, taking every possible feeling they could afraid the other would change their mind but tonight…tonight was different. They knew that they loved each other and neither one was willing to give up that feeling.

---

It had been about three days since Ray and Tyson saw the love bite on Kai's neck. Unknown to them, Max and Kai were still playing their game but recently it had been…more…passionate. It had moved on from quick touches. Oh yes, far beyond. They practically made-out in the game now. The aim was to make the other buckle, make them loss it or make them want more. Simple! Surprisingly, they were both very good at it and the other two hadn't noticed.

Kai had only come in half an hour ago, the other's already in bed. Ray lay awake under the duvet. It was unusually quiet, in fact extremely quiet. Tyson wasn't snoring, talking or even moving. A wave of panic came over Ray.

"Tyson?"

"Uh huh?"

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Just wondering. I mean your not snoring or talking."

"Can't sleep for some reason." Just then they heard a moan. "What the hell was that?"

"It sounded like a moan…"

"Should we g…"

"OH GOD KAI!" Tyson and Ray stared at each other.

"That isn't a painful moan…" Ray said quietly.

"Do you reckon it's Louise?"

"Has to be…"

"Well he could be like you?" there was a silence while Ray thought of that possibility. "Hey, if Kai and Louise are in the bedroom, where's Max?"

"I'm guessing on the couch. Poor Maxie, bad enough Kai's going out with some girl but to kick him out of his own room for them to fuck each other!"

"And if we can hear it in here, it must be really loud for Max?"

"Should we go ask if Max wants to come in here?" just then a loud moan came out.

"If you can face it you're more than welcome to?" Ray answered and tried to get to sleep. Tyson decided not to and did the same.

---

Max was sitting on the couch watching telly when Tyson and Ray came out of their room. They had a sympathetic look on their faces and Tyson came and sat next to him, Ray just stood in front of him.

"Hey Maxie, are you alright?" Tyson whispered putting his hand on Max's shoulder.

"Yeah…fine…why?"

"Well y'know…last night?"

"What are you on about Ra…"

"Max, do know where my shirt is?" Kai came out and interrupted Max. He had wet hair and was just wearing his blue jeans.

"Hey Kai, have fun last night?"

"What?"

"C'mon Kai, we heard you two last night." Kai and Max glanced at each other.

"Yeah, it was a bit harsh wasn't it? Poor Max!" Max blushed a little and Kai's eyes widened. Just before they could put their foot in it, Tyson continued. "Kicking Maxie out so you and Louise could have sex!"

"Who's…"

"Yeah Kai!" Max interrupted Kai before he gave it away. "I don't mind you going out with her but kicking me out of my own room!"

"So…where is she?"

"Who?"

"Louise, your girlfriend."

"Oh um, she's gone home."

"Bit early?"

"She had work. How'd you know she was round anyway?"

"Kai! We heard you all night!"

"Yeah, 'oh Kai!'" Tyson put on a girly voice. Max scowled at him.

"I've never heard a girl scream so much and so high!"

"I DO NOT SOUND LIKE A GIRL!" they all looked at Max.

"Umm…what?" Max went bright red, 'I can't believe I just said that!'

"Uuhhhh….what I meant was…." Kai sighed and walked to the radiator spotting his shirt.

"It was Max I was with last night, not Laura."

"Louise" Ray corrected.

"Whatever" Kai slipped his shirt on and did the buttons up. He noticed how red Max was.

"WAIT A MINUTE! You and Max!" Max nodded still bright red.

"How come?" Ray asked.

"Well…Kai and I…umm…" Kai looked at Max puzzled. Why was this so hard for him?

"You actually slept with Max!" Tyson turned his attention to Kai. "That is out of order! You know Max likes you a lot!" 'Well I would hope so!' Kai thought. "You can't just sleep with him like that! Max loves you! You can't use him as a quick fuck!" Max looked at Tyson angrily. What was he getting at?

"Tyson has a point Kai. You can't use Max like that; he cares a lot for you." Max was just about fuming.

"Umm! Excuse me!"

"Look Max, we're sorry but Kai was just using you. He's not even gay!"

"I don't care whether he's gay or not! He loves me and is with me! Just 'cos he likes me and not you!"

"That's not the case Max!"

"Sounds like it to me! And why can't he care for me? Why is that so difficult to understand someone might like me?"

"Max, we don…" Kai laughed a bit getting all of their attentions.

"What the hell are you laughing at?" Max shouted at him.

"You!"

"WHAT!" Kai walked over to the blonde and brushed the loose hair from Max's face.

"Calm down! It's not you they think couldn't a relationship, it's me! So stop yelling!" Kai gave Max a small smile. The turtle just about melted.

"Well their wrong aren't they" Max smiled back and kissed Kai on the lips. When they broke, Ray tried to put the make sense of it all.

"Hold on, what!" Kai stood up and turned to Ray, his cold expression back.

"Max and I are a couple and have been for the last…" there was a pause while Kai added up "six days." Max smiled up at Kai.

"SIX DAYS!"

"Yep!" Max beamed at Tyson.

"So…what about Louise?"

"Who?"

"Kai, you're crap at remembering. She doesn't exist. We made her up so you wouldn't suspect that Kai and I were together."

"Why? Oh, wait, let me guess. Kai didn't want to tell anyone!"

"Actually it was Max's idea." Kai snapped back.

"Why?" Ray turned to Max.

"Because I thought it would be exciting!" Kai smiled at the blonde's enthusiasm.

"So…"

"It was Max who gave me that love bite and it was him who sounded like a girl last night"

"HEY!"

"And you're gay?"

"What do you think Tyson?" the said boy suddenly became nervous and shifted a bit. Kai sighed. "I wouldn't worry Tyson," Kai said and noticed Ray shuffled away a bit. "You don't have to worry either Ray. No chance in hell." With that Kai walked into the kitchen.

"Hey what's that supposed to mean!" they both shouted after him. Max just laughed.

"Hold on, you didn't react like that when you found out I was gay"

"Yeah but Max…Kai's stronger then us. The urge may be so strong he might rape us where as you…well you're just not very strong."

"HA!" Kai shouted from the kitchen. Max smiled and blushed a little. "Hate to tell you but Max has been holding out on us!" Kai continued. They both looked at the innocent boy who in return shrugged and gave his best smile. He jumped off the couch and walked over into the kitchen. He pounced on Kai and wrapped his arms around the older boy's waist.

"You sure you're alright with telling everyone?" Max asked pushing his cheek into Kai's back. Kai swirled around so Max's head was now resting on his chest. He put his arms around the younger teen and hugged him tighter.

"Max, I love you. Of course I'm alright with everyone knowing." Max squeezed Kai and closed his eyes. He loved it when Kai said things like that and he loved this feeling. A week ago, Max thought Kai hated him and would never consider the thought of being with him. He had to look at the boy discreetly and hold himself back but now…Max was free to express himself and was more then welcome to look at Kai. What they had was comfortable, it felt right. They seemed to fit together, complimenting one another.
