Mistake
Chapter two - Secrets are out and in the wrong hands
As Ray placed the breakfast on the table Tyson came running in and almost knocked Ray off balance but with his quick, catlike reflexes, he was able to recover quicker than more others would have.
"Whoa, Tyson calm down, you're going to kill someone running that fast" he commented plainly, placing the food down.
"I know, but you stay calm in this type of situation!" Tyson said almost hysterically and hid under the table, while Ray just proceed to stare.
"Why? What did you do now?" his lips now formed a thin line and placed his hands firmly on his slim hips.
"I'll tell you, if Kai promises not to kill me" Kai glared at Tyson over his paper momentarily.
"Spill it Tyson, what did you break?" he now crossed his arms, growing inpatient.
Tyson didn't have time to give a response when Max came in holding a big bowl of sugar filled sweets.
"Morning pineapples!" the blond ball of sunshine grinned, ear to ear.
"Max… did you just call us pineapples? Why do you have the hidden sugar bowl?" Ray stammered over his words.
A small giggle echoed from his throat "Ty told me where it was, so prepare to have fun donkeys!"
"Can I kill just them both?" Kai asked in a normal tone of voice, putting down his paper he glared at both of the younger bladers, scaring Tyson but Max was too busy pretending to drive a race car round the kitchen, using the now empty sugar bowl as the wheel.
"Might be the sensible option, Max do you think you could stop driving long enough to get Kenny out of bed?" the black haired Chinese blader asked simply.
Without a word Max 'drove' up the stairs into Kenny's room and began jumping on his bed, yelling constantly.
"I'm up Max, stop jumping on me!" Max did eventually stop jumping, much to the genius' relief, and hopped out the room.
"Who gave him sugar this early?" he asked to himself as he stretched over to get his glasses.
.-.-.-.-.
Max hopped in and out of various bedrooms and other rooms on the second floor before something dark red caught his eyes.
"Oooh, pretty" he stopped hopping and walked into Kai and Ray's shared bedroom. He sat down on Ray's bed and flicked the dark red book open.
He began to read various pages that looked appealing, when he got to one certain page he jumped up and gasped.
"Oh my cranberries! Why didn't he say anything!? But now I feel special! Only I know!" a strange, nearly evil laugh sounded from his lips "Now what to do with this information… well his birthday's sorted" Max grinned and closed the book, locked it and skipped out the room, singing 'Row, row your boat'.
As he skipped into the kitchen he slipped on some split milk and burst out laughing.
"Are you alright Maxie?" Ray rush to his side and checked him for any injuries.
"Yeah Ray, why shouldn't I be?" he asked, head tilting to the side.
"You fell on the floor" was the blunt reply.
"I did?" he placed his finger on his lip thoughtfully after standing up, without falling over.
"Ray give up, he's had sugar remember?" Tyson commented from his position under the table.
"And who's fault is that?" he threw a quick glance at Tyson before looking back at the blond and sighing "It's hard to believe a normal, quite sensible boy can get this whacked out on sugar"
Tyson crawled out from underneath the table and began brushing dirt off himself, "Anything is possible"
Tyson sat down and began eating the slightly cold breakfast. Everyone else followed his lead except for Max who ran into the garden and grabbed a pink sheet off the clothesline.
He tied the cloth around his neck while running back to the kitchen and 'flying' in the vicinity of the table.
"What are we supposed to do if Max is on a sugar high with a pink sheet I might add" everyone turned to the sound of the voice. It just so happened to be Kenny who asked the question.
Kai shrugged, slumping lazily on one of the counters "I suppose we could have a day off since Max is defiantly in no condition to train or do anything that involves his brain power"
Tyson turned to Kai and stared in disbelieve, "What?!"
Kai just rolled his eyes and started eating a crispy piece of bacon, "Tyson, he's right" Ray agreed, his catlike eyes never leaving the sugar high boy.
"Hey, can we go to the carnival?" Tyson blurted out, waving his arms.
"Hey, yeah can we go? Please!" Max begged, deciding to copy his blue haired friend's actions.
"Tyson." Kenny started, his voice getting louder by the word "Max has already had a lot of sugar and you want to send him to a place where there are loads of people and more sugar!"
"Actually it sounds like a good idea Kenny" Ray said thoughtfully as Max started dancing round the table while cheering.
"Okay so what time does it open?" Kenny asked hoping, he would be able to avoid the little 'fieldtrip'.
"Around six.." Tyson responded, thinking about it for only a short amount of time.
"Well I need to do some shopping, anyone want to come?" Ray asked in hopes that someone sane would say yes, but he wasn't expecting who did.
"I'll go"
Everyone, including Max, looked at Kai.
"K-Kai?" he asked almost in shock "Why do you want to go?"
"I don't want to be stuck in this house with all of you and of course the sugar high blond over there" he pointed to Max who was pouring milk on his head while smearing peanut butter on his feet.
"What? We don't have any mustard left" he said as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"I'm going to go now," he stared a moment longer before adding "You ready Kai?"
Kai stayed silent and walked out the kitchen door. Ray grabbed the shopping list off the fridge and walked out the door as well.
He watched Kai put his leather jacket on as he grabbed his own jacket from the rack.
"Hey wait!" a voice called.
They both turned to see Max running towards them.
"What is it Max? And you're going to clean those footprints up" Ray pointed to the peanut butter tracks and various puddles of milk.
"Okay, but first I need to talk you," he gripped the end of Ray's jacket "Alone"
Kai walked out the front door closing it gently.
"Yes Maxie" Ray asked as nicely as he could but was slightly annoyed "I know"
"What? You know what?" Ray replied, very confused by this point.
"Your secret" he stated again, thinking it was pretty obvious.
"Which is?" Ray asked slightly nervous, wandering what his was referring to.
"That your gay" yellow eyes narrowed in annoyance, "I told you I was a while ago"
"I know, but now I know who you like" Ray gulped before whimpering out,
"W.. who?"
Max lowered his voice a lot, so as not to shout it.
"Kai" he grinned when the other boys expression changed considerably "And that you still sleep with teddy bears but there's no shame it that, I can't sleep without Jordan and I don't go anywhere without Josie" he said producing a small turtle plushie from his trouser pocket.
"How on earth did you find out?" he asked, angered and shocked. But also glad that he hadn't told anyone else, he knew Max wouldn't.
"You left your journal open" upon hearing this Ray began to curse various words in Chinese.
"I'm so stupid!" he slapped his forehead, eyes drifting to the floor afterwards.
"No your not, I am! Well sometimes..." Max wandered off, having a debate with himself.
"Please promise you won't tell anyone please Maxie" he begged, breaking the other from his argument.
"Maybe," he thought for a moment "If you buy me more sugar"
Ray didn't need much time to think over the matter. He slowly nodded his head, soon regretting doing so.
"Yeah, more sugar! And I won't tell anyone, I'm not that mean" Ray pulled the blond into a bone-crushing hug.
"Thank you Maxie, so much and don't tease me about it okay?" he put the boy back down on his feet.
"Why would I? I'm gay too" Ray wasn't very surprised, he always thought he might be.
"I thought you might be, got a crush on anyone?" Max blushed and lowered his head so Ray couldn't see.
A short laugh escaped his mouth "You do like someone, who is it?"
Before Max could say anything he was saved by Kai's voice "Come on Kon I want to go before it gets dark"
"Coming" he called back. Max breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll be asking you later about this later so don't think your off the hook" he poked the blonds stomach lightly, making him giggle before he disappeared outside.
Max didn't worry about it, he just reached into his pocket and pulled out more candy and ate it in one go before continuing his childish actions about the house.
