Mistake

Chapter six - Brothers?!

Ray reluctantly sat on the sofa with the visitors, as there were no other spare seats.

"What do you want?" Ray looked over at Kai relieved that he wasn't the only one who wanted the guests gone.

"What? We can't drop in on our friends" the visitor smirked making Ray feel un-easier.

"You can but there not here" the Chinese blader grimaced making their visitor pretend to look hurt.

"Oh come on Kai, you missed us too" said boy snorted and looked away.

Tyson decided to speak up, "So, Tala how long are you and Bryan staying?"

The red head shrugged "Not sure, we didn't think that far ahead" It turned silent and nobody dared to speak to Tala and Bryan. They were still uneasy after what happened with them and Boris even though it was about 4 years ago.

"So where are we going to sleep?" Ray turned to the lavender haired boy, shocked to his very core at where they would be sleeping.

"Well were not sure since you-" Tyson was cut off by a energetic blonde who amazing was still on a sugar high.

"Hey I know!" Max stood up, jumping like there was a trampoline underneath him "You guys can stay in Kai and Ray's room!"

"Max, are you sure that's a good idea?" Ray gave a pleading look at his friend who just jumped over onto his lap, and not very gently.

"Of course I do! I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it wasn't a good idea!" the hyper blader bean bouncing, not making it any better.

"Okay Maxie, I understand, now can you go bounce on someone else's lap" his voice sounded slightly jumpy as he spoke but it worked, Max grinned sheepishly and made his way back to his seat beside Tyson.

"Well can someone show us to the room" Tala playfully smacked his boyfriend for being impatient.

Max bounced to his feet "I will! I will!" the two Russians followed the blond up the stairs.

"So which door is it?" the white clad blader looked at the younger teen hoping that the sugar didn't make him forget. Max closed his eyes and put his finger on his chin.

"Come on we don't have all night!" Tala rolled his eyes and nudged the older teen.

Suddenly Max's bright blue eyes shot open and he pointed at a door, exclaiming "That one!"

He walked in the door just to make sure and to his surprise he was right. Tala broke Max out of his little victory dance, asking, "Which one's Ray's?" the teen hopped over to said bed and fell upon it.

.-.-.-.-.

"What's taking them so long?" Ray was playing with a little bit hair that had escaped his wrap.

"Maybe they've done something unspeakable to Max!" Tyson froze, causing him to stop pacing as this thought struck his mind.

"Give it a rest Tyson. If they did do something to Max we would have heard something" Kai moved from his place by the wall and sat next to Ray on the sofa, who was curled up in a ball.

"Are you alright, Ray?" the boy looked over his shoulder into the dark crimson eyes, amazed that they showed concern. Concern for him.

"I think so but I still don't trust Bryan" Ray hid his face back in his arms.

"You know, you really should get over it" he replied nonchalantly, turning away from the other teen; knowing that this would earn some form of loud reply.

"Would you be able to?" the dark haired boy snapped, not looking up to face the older teen.

"I don't know" he answered, genuinely not knowing how he would feel if someone that did serious physical harm to him was now in their shared bedroom

"You might be able to get over it but I can't" Kai sighed, picked up the remote and began flipping through the channels to feel the awkward silence.

.-.-.-.-.

"Why did you two come?" Max rested his chin on his hands, still lying comfortably on his team mate's bed.

"We explained it down stairs; can I put some of my stuff in here?" Tala opened a draw near Ray's bed.

"Guess so, Ray shouldn't mind" the red head began emptying the draw and stopped when he came across a dark red book.

"Hey Bryan, what do you think is in here? It's locked" the teen waved the book at his boyfriend.

"Don't know, open it" the two grinned mischievously.

"Hey! Don't that's Ray's diary" the blonde stood up with a serious look on his face.

"Oh, that make's it a yes, open it" Bryan made his way over to his team mate and the book.

Max tried to make a grab for the book but his height was a disadvantage "No guys please"

Tala pretended like he wasn't even there and began to pick the lock with a safety pin he had in his pocket.

.-.-.-.-.

"What could they be doing? ...Hey I was watching that!" the bluenette complained as Kai flipped the channel again.

"Their probably unpacking" everyone looked at the curled up Nekojin who spoke for the first time in over an hour.

"Have a nice nap?" Ray looked up at the Russian sat next to him, who shook his head.

The golden eyed teen shot up and looked around, his eyes stopping at Tala who's face held a wide smirk.

"Leave me alone" he whispered curling back up, even tighter this time.

"Hey what did I do to you?" his question was followed by silence, so he tried again "Ray, can I talk to you? Alone"

"What about?" said teen looked up to peek at the elder boy with a puzzled expression.

"I don't think you would like me to say it here" Tala began walking outside into the garden, Ray nervously followed him.

"What is it Tala? You know I'm not your biggest fan" he refused to take his eyes away from the other teen, just in case.

"I know and understand why. It's just I think we started off on the wrong foot and would like to be your friend or at least someone you trust" he said completely seriously, his ice blue eyes didn't flattered; he stared back to show that he wasn't lying.

"You-? Wha-? But-" the Chinese blader was unable to form a proper sentence from the shock of what his ears had just heard.

"You don't have to say yes if you don't want to. I'll understand" Tala began walking back into the house to join the others.

"..Wait" the red head stopped but didn't turn around to face him, "I'm listening"

"I would love to start fresh with you" the Russian spoke as he turned, he was surprised to see a wide grin on Ray's face as he finished his sentence.

"Thanks" the other blader was shocked as a small smile gracing Tala's lips.

"You look different when you smile" the elder boy frowned, tilting his head, "Thanks I guess"

"A good different" Ray assured causing the rather cold hearted Russian to smile again.

"Hey, how about we go up to your room and talk I'd like to find out more about my new friend" both grinned happily at one another, "Okay" the smaller teen agreed "but you have to talk too" Ray walked back in beside Tala with there arms linked.

"Hey guys what was all that about?" Tyson didn't even pull his eyes from the television. Neither one replied, they just walked up to Ray's room and were they talked for hours about anything that came to mind and actually became friends, no, they believed they were more like brothers now.
