A Little Piece of Heaven
Kai's POV
The silence of a room use to make me comfortable, when I was still with the Bladebreakers, I probably could sit for hours without so much as a word passing my lips, and be just fine with it. I remember how irritated with me Tyson use to get, declaring that words every now and then would never hurt. Maybe he was right after all. I can't take the silence, I feel that the walls around my brain are slowly closing down, crushing every thought in my head. I can't sleep, no matter what this isn't working for me.
I sit up in my bed going over the events of the past week with my friends and the Demolition Boys. Tyson had finally gotten the fact that they weren't going to brainwash them in any way whatsoever; they just wanted to make amends for their wrongs in the past. Everyone seems to be getting along, acting like they've all been friends for years now. With all of them here, I feel as though I don't have to lock myself in another dark closet in the back of my mind. Yes, life's going good for me—a little too good maybe.
Next door, sleeping soundly in that dark blue velvet nightshirt I had bought him was Kenny. Momentarily my mind wanders away, thinking about the material of the shirt riding up his hips, his cream colored thighs and legs exposed. How beautiful he must look with the shirt unbuttoned all the way down to his navel, my lips kissing every exposed inch of him as he gasps and arches his back while my hands roam lower. His voice crying out for me to...
Damn...Kai get your head out of the gutters. I shake my head free from the place it wavered. Why was my mind driving me insane like this? Kenny...the object of not just my affections but also my strength. I silently ponder if the kisses we shared were for real or if he was just playing along because he's been avoiding me for a while in the past week after the funeral. I prayed that I didn't scare him into being straighter than Tyson.
I need to know how he really feels about me. Oh god do I pray that he feels the same way for me. I would never be able to handle the other alternative if by chance he turned me down. Damn it...why me of all people? "Argh! I can't take this anymore!"
Kenny's POV
I could hear Kai in the next room as he let out a yell of impatience. Kai...
He has been there for me so much in the past week, but I'm scared to death that he only wants me around as a sex toy to say anything to him. He's both my strength and fear—always was; always will be. The only thing that stopped me from going to him was that sudden outburst he just had. I try to seem like I am asleep, hoping by some miracle that his abbey training doesn't kick in as he opens the door to my room. Was he coming to see me?
I think over everything in the past and present only to realize in seconds the feelings he harbor for me are true feelings and wants to see me happy. But how happy is he going to make me? Would his kisses always be as sweet as the honey from the bees? Could his touch really send all those heated chills up and down my spine or was it just my imagination concocting some wild romantic fantasy I hoped for?
I can hear him as he cross the floor to close the window I'd purposely left open to see what he'd do. Just barely, I listen as he touch the picture of the team we once were and give a soft sigh of content; the picture had a heart drawn around Kai's face by yours truly. I suppose it gave him some closure to know that I returned his feelings on some level. Now, I can hear his approach to the bed, my heart pounding in my chest. No matter what I do, it threats to uncover my ruse.
"Kenny, I know you're not asleep." It was the simple, yet rightful fact for a guy like him to notice my uneven breathing. "Can I lay with you tonight?" I blush and I know it as the blood from my body sending searing waves of heat through my entire body. "Kenny?"
"Jump in." Did I really just say that? Yes, and he goes and takes it literately. I could feel goose bumps cover my entire body not just because of his cool skin against my half naked body, but because his body was so near mine. Did he really have to sleep in only a pair of pajama pants? "Kai, you're cold!"
"Yeah? Look who had the window open? Do you want to become sick? It's very easy to do that here in Russia, you know?" His voice was stern, yet gentle as he pulls me into his chilly embrace. The warmth of the blankets and our body heat did a lot as we lay in the silence of the room.
If he wanted to hurt me now no one would hear me because he's placed us strategically in separate wings. So with the servants' quarters in the west, Rei and Max in the East, and Tyson and Hilary in the south, we are basically alone in one room on a cold Russian night entwined in the embrace of each others' arms as we lay there under the thick satin covers.
"Kai...I...I want to know..." This was it. I had to ask the question that was on my mind for a week now before my head exploded. "Do you really love me?"
"Kenny, why ask me such a question at this point in time? I know that material things don't mean anything to you deep inside and I know that you're afraid of committing to something you're not sure of." Where was this lecture going exactly? "You have to understand that nothing in this world matters more to me than you do. You're my heart, Kenny."
"How do you mean?" He chuckles lightheartedly.
"You are my heart and soul. When you aren't around I feel like the world wants to be rid of me. My body trembles at the slightest touch of your hand, the look in your eyes are so bright that when I look at you my whole world lights up. Only you can make me feel like I'm floating on a cloud with my feet on the ground this way. You are my life, love, heart, mind, body, and soul—you're everything to me," he tells me.
Normal POV
A simple kiss followed the wholehearted explanation and Kenny's mind losing itself in the abyss that started that fateful day only one week prior. Pulling back, he searched Kai's eyes, those eyes between the lines of mahogany and amber, a wine that caused every part of him to hazy in a drunken state. The smile that rises to Kai's lips sent his soul down a spiral stairway that he knew he would never be able to climb back up.
"Kenny..." Kai murmured, as his arms tighten around Kenny's waist, pulling him into the other's hard body, so Kenny could feel each and ever muscle as Kai leaned down and kissed him again. This time the kiss was anything but simple. As the tip of his tongue played over the brunette's bottom lip asking for access, Kenny could feel Kai's hand moving down, gliding over his thighs before slipping inside the warmth of them. Kenny released a moan, which was just enough for Kai to get into the place he wanted.
Kenny whimpered in pleasure, his body shuddering with anticipation as the dual haired male holding him moved his hand up, sending another wave through his koi's body as the brush of his cool fingertips hit the brunette's heated, and sensitive skin. Kenny broke the kiss, moaning Kai's name while the other moved from his position to climb over the brunette.
Looking down, Kai watched Kenny pant lightly, his hair curtaining under his head, a few strands of wayward locks fell into his eyes. Just as Kenny reached up to brush it away, Kai captured the hand above the brunette's head.
"Don't move it," Kai murmured his voice low as he released the hand. "You look more beautiful that way."
"Kai...I..."
"You don't have to say a word. I told you before, if you tell me to stop, I wouldn't be able to. I need you that much," Kai said, his eyes piercing his koi's with a look of deep want and need. "Please don't tell me to ever stop."
"I just...I just wanted to say that I need you too," Kenny smiled. Kai said nothing as he moved his hands to make quick work of the buttons that covered Kenny's upper body. Once finished, Kai pushed aside the material, leaning forward to kiss cream colored skin that beckoned him. Under him, Kenny's head swam in a mess of tangles which included want, need, and desire. Arching his back, he could feel Kai's tongue lick a trail down his chest, stopping at his navel.
"I want to sink into every inch of your skin and absorb your entire being into myself. The more I taste of you gives me another high greater than the previous," Kai mumbled into the skin that quavered under his mouth.
"Kai..." Kenny closed his eyes, his head rolling to the side as he felt another wave of pleasure crawl upwards to his head, hazing his brain of all rational thought. The only thing that he knew was he wanted Kai in every way possible.
"Kenny, look at me," Kai panted, his hands making light work of the article of clothing stopping him from reaching his ultimate goal. Obeying, Kenny look through half lidded eyes upon his lover, seeing Kai moving over him again, tossing Kenny's boxers on the floor. "Do you want all of what I'm willing to give you? I'm not going to continue if you say no."
"Kai...please," Kenny moaned, wrapping his legs around Kai's waist. He could feel Kai's body tense at the action. The obvious taut skin that was now just as sensitive as Kenny's.
"Tell me, Kenny," Kai moaned, roaming his hands back over the overly sensitive skin that melted at his touch. Kenny once more cried out his name, arching into the touch. "Tell me your every want and desire."
"I...need...you...now. I need every inch of you, Kai." A smile came to Kai's face as he moved his hands to pull at the pajama pants he wore. The flush on both their skins shone in the light of the moon as Kai leaned back down to kiss his lover again.
Kai's eyes fluttered open his body almost waking with a start until he felt the body curled up against him. Looking down, Kai moved one of his arms from around his koi's waist to brush the hair away from his eyes. Kenny shifted closer to the dual haired male, continuing to sleep. The previous night between them was more than just magical, everything that seemed to pin Kai down, lifted away as Kenny gave Kai all of his love, receiving every drop of Kai in return.
"I see someone enjoyed themselves thoroughly last night." Kai quickly sat up, though careful not to wake the sleeping brunette beside him. With a short glare, he turned his auburn eyes to the chair sitting by the desk to meet azure eyes. Tala had a huge grin on his face, reminding the other of the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland.
"What the hell do you want Ivanov?" Kai kept his tone low, preferring to wait until another time to kill the red haired Russian.
"I just came to tell you the others were waiting downstairs for you and Kenny...but I suppose that I should tell them that your breakfast is already in bed," Tala said.
"I suggest if you want to live another year, then you retract that statement and tell them that I'll be down for breakfast in ten minutes," Kai advised. "Do I make myself clear, Tala?"
"Stop being so hostile, I figured if you finally got some you would loosen—" Tala stopped his sentence directly at that note, seeing as how the other's eyes dropped to that one glare which spoke on the lines of physical pain for the red head.
"Out or die."
"Fine, you don't have to get so hostile about it. I'm leaving." Removing himself from the chair, Tala walked out the room, shutting the door behind him.
A huge thank you to Rimneral for her expert intervention in this chapter; give her a big hand everyone. (hands Rim a Kai plushie and a Tala one too.) Have a great day!
