… … … … …
Kai blinked open his eyes and found himself sitting, leaning against one of the pillars in the temple. He glance over his shoulder to gaze up at the full moon, the sounds of nature and the Spanish music drifting to his senses.
He heard the sound of soft footsteps but did not turn around for he knew who it was. A strong, but gentle hand slip up his neck to rest around the delicate curl of his ear, the long fingers playing with his hair. Kai sigh as he felt his eyes close and he leans into the caress.
"My beautiful Phoenix," Came a very familiar voice. Slowly, Kai felt his face being tilted but he kept his eyes closed, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the will power within himself to force his eyes open.
"Angel," he whispered again. "I've waited for so long to see you again."
A moment later Kai felt something press against his lips, the hand in his hair, pulling him closer. He knew that this dream being was kissing him, but did nothing to try and stop him. Suddenly the lips were pulled away from his and began to scatter butterfly kisses over the sensitive skin of his neck. He gasps and felt heat rush to his cheeks. He felt the neck of his shirt slip down, exposing his shoulder, and that too was covered with light, but breath taking kisses.
Sitting still, blushing fiercely, Kai wonders if anything like this could happen in real life.
Somehow, he managed to open his eyes just a little and peer out through his eyelashes. He gazed up at a familiar blond hair, tanned skin young man.
… … … … …
Abruptly, Kai sat up, his lips and neck still tingling and feeling a little bit frustrated. He was so close in finding out who his dream guy really is. He heard a noise and turned to his right, only to find himself looking into a pair of concern blue eyes.
Inwardly, Kai eeped, but had enough self-control not to outwardly do it. He blinked. "Miguel?" he said, finally taking a moment to look at his surroundings. He was back in his room at the hotel.
"Hey," Miguel said. "How are you feeling?"
"Confused," Kai said after a moment of silence. "What happened?"
"After your battle today, you fainted from exhaustion," Miguel explained, deciding to leave out that he had caught the ailing teen in his arms and carried him back to the hotel, gently depositing him on his bed.
"Oh," Kai muttered. There was an awkward silence as Kai wondered if he should say something else, or if he should just fall back under the blankets and pretend that he had fallen asleep.
Before he could make up his mind he felt a strangely familiar hand rest on his forehead, under his bangs. The suddenly movement caught Kai by surprised and before he could find the willpower the stop himself, he blushed.
"You have a slight fever," Miguel mumbled, a light blush also flittering across his handsome features. He mentally scolded himself for acting without thinking. He didn't mean to startle the Russian teen.
Kai numbly nodded and felt a sense of lost when Miguel removed his hand.
Miguel couldn't be the guy in his dreams, could he?
… … … … …
A day has passed since the fundraiser, which went incredibly well. They managed to get all the money they need, thanks to Kai, and so much more. The children of the orphanage will have the best, state-of-the-art equipment to help them in the years to come.
Kai felt himself smirk when the townsfolk found out about the large, anonymous check, and searched for the one who made it. He felt smug when none of them had a clue, although, he got the feeling Miguel had some idea. Since finding out about the anonymous check, he has been sending him funny looks. Well not funny looks, more like 'I know' kind of looks.
He shrugged, the blond was smart and so long as he doesn't tell anyone, it doesn't matter.
After tallying all the money the townsfolk decided to hold a celebration party for everyone involved, so here they are in the bar/dinning section of the hotel they were staying in, G-rev, Barthez Battalion and the volunteers, dancing to the old Spanish music and drinking to everyone's health.
Kai stood at the back of the bar, watching as the townsfolk would dance to the old music, dancing an old tradition dance. He couldn't help but frown slightly at the movements and the music. They're both eerily similar to his dreams. Was it just a coincidence?
"There you are," Came a familiar voice. "I was wondering where you were."
Blinking, Kai turn slightly startled to the owner of the voice. "Oh, Miguel," he said sheepishly. "You startled me."
"Sorry," Miguel smiled softly. "What are you doing over here?"
"Thinking," Kai replied.
"You two aren't dancing," Came an elderly female voice. "Why aren't you two dancing?"
Both Kai and Miguel blushed and try to mutter an excuse to the eccentric grandmother. She tisked them both. "Ah, no excuses. Why don't you two dance with each other?"
That suggestion just made the both of them blush harder. She grabbed the both of them by the arm and forcefully pushed them out into the middle of the dancing. For an elderly woman, she's uncannily strong.
"Have fun, you two."
Kai fell into Miguel's chest and his eyes widen, but not with embarrassment, but with recognition. These arms, this chest, they feel just like the ones in his dreams. It couldn't be…
He gazed up into Miguel's eyes, his mind just barely registering that the blond was blushing. Swallowing hard, Kai stood up straight. Feeling slightly bolder, not sure if it was because he was surrounded by other people who were also dancing, or by the fact that Miguel was blushing softly too. He shrugs, position Miguel's hands where they should be, and let Miguel lead but only because he was taller than him.
Miguel offered a small smile, looking calm, on the outside that is. On the inside his heart was beating a hundred miles a second. He place a hand on Kai's hip, taking the other in his hand as they began to move with the music, dancing the old folk dance.
They moved effortlessly around the floor, their bodies melding together as if they had waited for all their lives for this dance. Many other dancers watched in silent awe as the two of them dance together, graceful like silk floating in a sea of crystal clear water. They completely forgot about everyone else as they were too lost in each other.
Kai allow a small smile to grace his lips as Miguel twirled him out of his arms only to be pulled back into that warm chest. He closes his eyes, loosing himself completely to the lull of the music and the feel of Miguel.
Miguel sighed when he pulled Kai into his arms, his back pressed against his chest. His eyes soften when he saw a peaceful smile gracing his delicate features. The feel of Kai's body against his, knowing that he was the reason Kai looked so peaceful made his heart soar.
Unbeknownst to the pair, their teammates watched in awe. Both Hilary and Matilda had hearts in their eyes.
"Isn't that so romantic?" Hilary sighed.
"It's beautiful," Matilda agreed.
Tyson blinked. "Is… is Kai smiling?"
Max found himself nodding. "Yeah, he is."
Ray sweatdropped. "Kai does have the ability to smile, you know."
"Look at them," Claude said. "I had no idea they were that graceful."
Aaron sniggered. "I hope you're getting this on camera, Kenny."
"Are you kidding?" Kenny panic. "They'll kill me!"
"What's the big deal?" Daichi asked. "They're just dancing."
"Oh, Daichi," Hilary sighed. "You're too young to understand. Those two-"
"-are the cutest couple ever," Matilda finished for her. They both sighed, dreamy, as they watched the two graceful dancers.
As the music continue to play Miguel and Kai, along with everyone else, continue to dance. They moved about with ease, never missing a beat, their movements graceful, stunning and perfect, as though they have danced this particular dance all their lives.
Or maybe dream lives.
But all things must come to an end, as the music slowed to a finish, it was then that Miguel and Kai return to reality and realize what they had just been doing. They blushed. Their blushed darken when everyone around them started clapping, complementing them on a wonderful dance and how graceful the two of them are.
"You two were amazing."
"Beautiful, just beautiful."
Kai was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole and die. He was blushing so hard he thought his head might explode. He sneaked a glance over to Miguel and felt slightly satisfied to find him blushing as well.
The music soon started up again and they were asked if they were going to dance again. Kai politely decline, opting to sit this one out, saying that maybe next time.
As he and Miguel made their way from the dancers, still blushing slightly, they were suddenly set upon by two girls who seemed to have hearts dancing around in their eyes.
Is that even possible?
After a few squealed comments, Kai finally managed to make his way over to the bar and get a drink. The night progress smoothly after that, with many offers made to Kai for a dance. He accepted some of them only because he had ran out of excuses, and despite what people think, Kai doesn't like to be rude, especially towards those older than him.
It was approaching midnight when the party finally came to an end, everyone bid each other goodnight, agreeing to clean up in the morning. Kai said that his team will help. Tyson began to complain but wisely shut up when Kai sent him a glare that said 'defy me and die'. Smartest thing he has ever done.
They all went to bed, and once again Kai found himself back at that temple. But this time something felt different.
… … … … …
Dear Kai, he's so clueless, isn't he? (Pinches cheek) Adorable too.
Miguel: You made Hilary and Matilda into a couple of Yaoi fan girls.
And what's wrong with being a Yaoi fan girl?
Miguel: No offence, but you tend to scare people.
I scare people with my bubbliness anyway, so what's you're point?
Miguel: Oh, never mind.
