A.N. Sorry this isn't quite edited completely, I was just so eager to get it posted and I had like 5 minutes of my school period left so yeah, here ya go.

It had been a couple of weeks since I'd stumbled across Kai at the park. Don't look at me that way, I told you it was an extremely fortunate coincidence. Well it was for me at least. Kai, on the other hand had been acting a bit strange lately. Often I would feel his eyes on me, and when I locked eyes with him his gaze only became more intense. It was as though he was focused on figuring something out and, apparently, it had to do with me. Oh no… had it been my behavior at the park? Normally I don't get so noticeably flustered around him, but he'd just been so damn close.

Wiping the drool from the corner of my mouth, I continued pondering the situation while making my way to the kitchen. Breakfast sounded very good, unfortunately, upon reaching the fridge, I realized I wouldn't be eating this morning. My stomach growled loudly in protest, but I didn't really have the money to go buy food. For all these reasons, I proceeded to sit at the table and pout. Okay, so I wasn't quite pouting, but I had laid my head on my arms in defeat. Somehow, while I was sulking about my lack of food, an intruder had entered the kitchen without me noticing. That is, until a hand was laid gently upon my shoulder which caused me to not so calmly leap out of my chair and knock it over. Staring down at the overturned piece of furniture sadly, I also happened to notice a pair of shoes… and legs… that happened to be attached to the body of the person who was constantly on my mind. I flushed in embarrassment realizing what'd happened and before I could say anything to make myself look a little better, my stomach gave a loud rumble. If possible, my face turned even redder and I looked down at my shoes. I don't know what I expected to happen, but I hadn't exactly been expecting Kai to grab my arm, hand me my shoes, and drag me out the door. 'What in the…'

Once we were outside and strolling down the sidewalk, Kai released me and let me follow of my own volition. Ha! Like there's any chance I wouldn't? I wanted to ask Kai where we were headed, but the bluenette appeared to be thinking, and I was loathe to disturb him. This isn't only because I didn't particularly desire to have is irritation directed at me, but also because while he was distracted I was free to stare. He was just so… so perfect. His body, his stride, his mannerisms, his face, his eyes, oh his eyes… Those beautiful crimson pools, like fire that had a thick coat of frost on top, just like him. And his hair, the light and dark shades so magnificently entwined. Even his face paint was attractive to me. I especially loved his mouth. Those soft, delicate lips produced such a wonderful voice. It was so rich and just, well, for lack of a more descriptive term, sexy. There's nothing I loved more than hearing that voice say my name.

"Rei…"

Oh! Just like that…

"Rei?"

Sigh

"Rei!"

Hmm, not quite so angry….

"REI!"

"Huh?" I nearly jumped out of my skin at the loud, irritated voice yelling my name. "Oh…." Ugh….good job you moron. I wanted desperately to slap myself in the head, but that might just make the situation worse. I meakly inclined my head towards him to let him know I was now fully attentive and aware. I didn't trust my voice because I was sure all I could do was squeak. At least he might mistake my nervousness for embarrassment over having zoned out on my captain, not, well you know why. I don't think I could handle it if he just full on asked me about my feelings towards him, I just don't think I could lie. Not to him. "

"What do you want?" Kai asked me after I had recomposed myself.

"Huh?" Oh boy… had he noticed me staring? This could only end badly. I resisted the urge to escape the situation when he asked the question again, only this time clarifying his meaning.

"What do you want… to eat?"

I nearly fell on my ass when the situation actually dawned on me. Was Kai…taking me to breakfast? giggle OoOoO Kinda like a date…. Ha, as if. He was probably just trying to make sure his team members are all at full health and strength.

"Um…" I tried, "whatever you feel like I guess. I really don't have much money though…"

Kai waved my sentence off told me it would be my reward for all my hard training…Riiight. Then he thought a moment before he started walking again. I just followed along, glad to be alone with him and not practicing with our blades.

We ended up at a quaint little local place called Katie's. We took a seat and ordered briefly after that. Kai ordered some chocolate crepes while I ordered a large helping of pancakes and strawberry topping. Mmm! Food is so good! As I merrily munched on my breakfast I snuck a few glances at Kai, who seemed to be focused on me again. Man, what did I do to deserve this (very much wanted) attention? I contemplated this as we finished our breakfast and sat in silence a few moments.

"Why?"

The question was so abrupt I was completely startled out of my thoughts.

"Why what?" I asked in return.

"Rei, I've survived this long by taking note of important, easily missed details. I'm an observer and it's pretty easy for me to read people."

My eyes went wide. 'He knows? But how? I've only lost my composure around him once or twice, I just don't understand…..will he hate me now? Gods please let the answer be no, Please!' Didn't I say I couldn't lie to him? That if he asked, I would tell him everything? Argh! What am I supposed to do now? Although, I suppose I should shut up and listen to the rest of what he has to say first.

"So," I asked, as calmly as possible, "what is it that you have noticed that needs to be discussed with me?" I had to swallow a large lump in my throat as he stood from his side of the table and came to stand beside me. I stood as well, so he could speak to me face to face. Speaking, however, was not what happened. Before I knew what hit me, Kai's lips were pressed against mine and I was kissing him back. I nearly blacked out as I realized what was happening, and the mixed emotions and all the confusion was nearly overwhelming. Kai pulled away a few seconds later and merely stated that it was time to get back to the hotel. I wanted to cry in frustration and ask him why, but I just stayed quiet as I once again followed him, knowing that I always would.

A.N. Hey everyone! This story finally has a direction and a plot! Probably about 2 or 3 more chapters to go, but now I've been inspired. Unfortunately, a lot of it is from person experiences ( Expect actual updates, and a completed work sometime in the near future. R&R, cuz I wrote it for you guys.
