Just outside the apartment that Ray was sharing with Kai, Johnny had managed to pull himself from Ray's grip and was currently fuming to himself. "What the hell was Kai going on about? A hen! What?"

Ray shook his head and laughed. "Don't take it to heart, Johnny, he was only joking."

"Humph," Johnny huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "Where did the rooster bit come from anyway?"

"We were talking about how some bladers act and look like animals."

Johnny glared at Ray through narrowed eyes. "And he thinks I look and act like a rooster? Why that-"

"Enough of that," Ray said, cutting him off before he could say anything insulting about Kai. Sure, Johnny may be his boyfriend, but no one is allowed to say a bad word about Kai while he's around. No one.

"And you let him call me a rooster?" Johnny huffed again.

"You should have heard what he thinks about himself," Ray replied with a shake of his head.

Johnny pouted, trying to look disinterested. "What would that be?"

"He thinks that he is a cold-hearted bastard."

Johnny remained silent.

"My point exactly," Ray sighed as he shook his head again.

Johnny couldn't help but frown. "Why would he say that?"

"Not many people take the time to get to know him," Ray explained. "He actually thinks very little of himself. Look, I know you and Kai don't get along, but-"

"I don't hate him," Johnny said, cutting him off this time. "It's just…"

"He's intimidating with all that power, right?"

"…Yeah."

"I know," Ray nodded in understanding. "Anyway, I think Miguel will be good for Kai and visa versa."

Johnny stared at the ground, but nodded all the same. He looked oddly adorable standing there with a pout on his lips and arms crossed over his chest, his brow furrowed in slightly annoyance.

Suddenly a wicked smirk grew on Ray's lips as he eyed the oblivious Johnny up and down. "But lets not think about them anymore. I've got something else on my mind," He purred as he wrapped his arms around Johnny's waist once again, pulling him incredibly close.

Johnny gave an undignified eep when he felt himself being crushed up against Ray's well toned, muscular chest. He blushed darkly and muttered. "I don't think I want to hear what you have in that perverted head of yours."

"Are you sure?" Ray whispered into his ear, his voice low and very sensual which made Johnny shiver with delight. "I think you'd rather enjoy it. Salamanders like it hot, don't they?"

As Johnny opened his mouth to reply, Ray quickly claimed it in a long, passionate kiss. He pinned Johnny to a near-by tree as he continued to ravish Johnny's mouth, taking him into another plain of existence. He ran his tongue over the redhead's lips before slipping inside, devouring the warm interior. He smirked triumphantly when he heard Johnny moaned and fall limp into his arms.

After a few moments, Ray decided that Johnny need oxygen so he broke the kiss, watching with catlike satisfaction as the redhead reeled back, panting hard, his face flushed.

"I bet Kai never said anything about you been a restless perverted horndog."

"Hmm," Ray licked his lips, finding a blushing, moaning Johnny far too irresistible right now. "I'll show you how much of a pervert I can be." He said before capturing Johnny's lips once again.

Miguel stepped out of the bathroom, wearing a fresh change of clothes a towel in his hands as he tried to dry his hair. He pulled the towel off his head, his luscious blond hair falling around his shoulder instead of it's usual style.

"Thank you for letting me use your shower," Miguel said as the turned to Kai and smiled.

Kai looked at him and felt his cheeks heat up. He looked simply gorgeous with his hair down. The long gold strands clung greedily to his smooth tanned skin. "It's ok," He said finally snapping himself out of his stupor. "Can I ask you a question?"

Miguel took the towel in his hands and hung it over a chair in the kitchen. "You want to know why I'm here by myself," He said.

"Yeah," Kai nodded, then blushed slightly at his audacity. "If you don't want to tell me it's ok," He quickly added.

"I don't really know," Miguel replied softly.

"What?" Kai blinked.

Miguel sighed and leaned against the kitchen table, his beautiful blue eyes holding a far away look. "I don't know why I'm here. It's kinda hard to explain."

Kai rose softly and quietly from his seat to stand just a way from Miguel. "Do you think you can try anyway?" He asked, his hands nervously clasped together in front of him.

"Well, it's like I was pulled here or something," Miguel explained, his head back slightly in thought. "Like I was suddenly needed here. Like there's something here for me," He shook his head and looked at Kai almost embarrassed. "Strange, huh?"

Kai shook his head, his hands grasping at the material over his heart. "Not at all. You're following your intuition. Not many people do that anymore."

Miguel smiled softly, then looked nervous. He stood up straight and pushed away from the table to regard Kai properly. "…I kinda lied."

"Huh?"

"Before, I said it feels like something is here for me," Miguel, his eyes looking at the ground. "It actually feels like someone…"

"Oh," Kai said. "Do you know who that someone is?"

"I hope so," He whispered, but then shook his head like he was berating himself. "But, why would someone as amazing as he is want to be with a Gargoyle like me?"

Kai instantly jumped to his defense. "There's nothing wrong with having the essence of a Gargoyle. Gargoyles are protectors, guardians," He explained. "They drive away evil spirits and the darkness. People look to you for strength and courage."

Miguel blinked as he removed his gaze from the floor and smiles softly.

Kai nervously licked his lips as he hesitantly took a step forward. "And, I think, you might be the one to drive away the fear from my heart," He whispered, expecting a rejection from the tanned prince before him.

There was a shocked silence.

"Kai…" Miguel whispers, before gently taking Kai into his arms. Leaning forward, he touches his lips to Kai's, who stiffen at first, but soon melted into the kiss and happily returned it. It's a gentle kiss, a mere pressing of the lips. They pull back slightly to gaze into each other's eyes before leaning forward again, pressing their lips together. Kai slipped his hand up Miguel's chest to rest on the back of his neck, his thump resting on Miguel's strong jaw bone.

Miguel wrapped his arm around Kai's waist as his other rested on the small of his back, pulling him closer, deeper into the kiss.

Neither of them knew that they were slowly backing towards the lounge chair until Kai hit it with the back of his legs and they both toppled over. However, that wasn't enough to break the kiss.

Miguel teased the corners of Kai's mouth with his tongue, asking for permission to enter, one of which he was granted. His heart skipped a beat when his tongue played over Kai's and he could have sworn he felt Kai's heart stopped for a moment as well.

They pulled apart sooner than either one would have liked, but they both knew that air was crucial and neither one wanted the other to pass out due to the lack of oxygen.

They held their positions. Miguel laying on top of Kai and Kai holding Miguel's face in his hands. They smiled at each other before leaning in for another kiss, this one just as passionate as the others.

Many hours later, Ray returned home, looking satisfied and very pleased with himself. He also brought Johnny back as well, who was looking exhausted, but had a certain glow to him. They walked into the lounge room and was greeted by a rare and beautiful sight.

Miguel was laying on the lounge chair with Kai curled up by his side, sleeping peacefully on his chest, clutching at the material of his shirt.

But what stands out the most was the small, peaceful smile on Kai's lips.

Ray smiled fondly at the two, thankful that Kai has finally found someone to be with. He looked over to his own boyfriend to find him trying not to break into a smile himself. Although his lips were pulled into a frown, his eyes were soft and holding a warmth to them. Ray tugged on his hand and lead him to the bedroom. He pushed the Scot inside and smirked.

"I'm not done with you yet," He said as he closed the door.
