Quiet Lovers

Summary: Max wants to do anything to help Kai, especially after the ordeal with Zeo and Cereberus, and ends up making a deal with the slate haired boy. If he kept quiet about the phoenix liking him, he would call the blonde his lover, but what do you do when you love someone, and you can't tell anyone he loves you too?

Pairings: Max/Kai, one sided Ty/Max, Rei/Kenny

Before the young blonde could reason with the older boy that they were still in the bathroom, and anyone could come in while this was going on, he found the older boy's lips pressed against his. His face was painted a light strawberry color, since this seemed exactly how it had happened in all of his day dreams, except for one thing... they weren't in the bathroom, and they weren't doing it without the others knowing. Ah well, this was better than nothing. He closed his deep ocean eyes, as he pressed against Kai's lips in response, brining his arms around the older boy's neck. The phoenix brought the boy into a tight embrace around the waist, as he deepened the lock on the boy's mouth, giving the boy's lips a teasing lick. At first, Max was wondering what he was doing, until he remembered all those romance novels that Tyson had gotten him. When someone licked your lip like that, they wanted you to part your lips so they could go inside your mouth, and probably have a battle with your tounge. Not that he minded, it sounded amusing.

He obeyed the boy's order, and parted his lips as he found Kai's tounge traveling around his cavern, a rush of strawberry invading the younger male's mouth, causing himself to moan softly. It was so wonderful, he didn't want it to stop. Max began to get involved himself, as he brought his tounge into the little battle, and slipped into Kai's mouth, savoring his sweet taste, slipping his fingers back into the Russian's hair. Identical moans escaped their mouths, as they fought against each other's tounges, and Max was losing the fight... big time. Finally, the need for air became too great for either of them, and they slowly seperated from their kiss, but it didn't seem like the older male was going to stop there, no way in hell. He reached his hands behind the boy's back, and began to unbutton the back of the blonde's pajamas to he could get better access of the boy's body. Max blushed like mad, but didn't stop him, he didn't want him to stop, he wanted more. After the last button was off, he threw it aside, looking down at the boy's upper frame, and placed a hand on his chest bone.

"Your better looking than you let on, Maxie." Kai purred into the boy's ear.

"...Uh... thank you?" Max said in a quizzical manner, the fire not leaving his face alone.

A small smirk appeared from the slate haired male, as he lightly ran his hands against the boy's body, memorizing Max's features, as if he was blind, and he had to recognize someone by their features and now how they like. He liked what he saw, and Max could tell, since he had a evil look on his face. The older boy leaned down, and seemed to rest his face against the collar of the turtle's neck, then began to take light bites of the sensitive flesh, causing the boy to melt at his actions. Max felt like he was in heaven, not the 'I'm praising God, and listening to angels sing 24 hours a day, no offence, that would get a little old after a million years. It was more like he was on top of a cloud, and Kai was right there with him,and they could spend eternity together. He was snapped out of his daydream when Kai bit a little too hard at his neck, causing him to give out a little cry, and feel his neck. His blue eyes narrowed on the older boy, a pout appearing on his face.

"Kai, you just gave me a hickey!" He exclaimed.
"What's wrong with that?"
"...For someone that doesn't want others knowing about our relationship, you like marking me as yours, don't you?"
"Oh, don't fret, Maxie, it'll come out with some rubbing alcohal." Kai ran his fingers across Max's throat.

A small purr came from the younger boy's throat as Kai did that to his neck. Not like he could help it, he had melted in Kai's feathery touches so much, it was almost normal at the moment in time. The slender fingers ran across his neck, and down his arms, feeling the boy's muscles, and soft skin. The purr got louder in the turtle's throat, making you believe he was more like a kitten instead of a shelled reptile. He smiled, and kissed the younger boy's neck, letting his hands travel down the boy's frame, leaving kisses and bites as he traveled downwards, seeming to like the sweet taste of the younger boy's soft skin. A small groan escaped the boy's lips, as his flushed returned to his face. The steam in the room was probably affecting the younger boy's vision, since everything seemed a little hazy to his pools of sea blue. Kai began to tease the younger boy's skin, as he gave the soft flesh small licks, leaving sticky trails behind, as his hand traveled down, and went to the boy's pants, slowly unzipping them.

Max held a small cry in the back of his throat. Oh god, they were going to do this now? He felt himself blush at what could happen if Kai completed his little scam. He wouldn't be able to hold his cries back, and if he didn't tell the others what was going on, they would suspect the worse, and they would like the older boy was hurting him or something. The older boy wasn't hurting him... in the physical way. His emotions were a little twisted at the confusing state he had gotten himself into. He was in love with Kai, and the older boy loved him too, but didn't want anyone else to know, and Tyson liked him too,but he couldn't tell him he was in love with Kai, or the older boy would get angry at him, or something. He could see it know, Kai's face going back into the glare he had always seen, and rapidly hitting the younger boy in the head with a hammer. The thoughts were interrupted, as they heard a knock coming from the door behind Max's back, making both of them look over.

"Kai, you still in there, have you seen Max?"

It was Kenny, great, the little kitty's genius comes to ruin the fun from the two boys, how typical. A small sigh came from the older boy's lips, as he stood up, and motioned to Maxie to get dressed, as he called back out to the younger boy.

"Don't worry, Max is in here."

"..." Max felt himself blush, wasn't Kai supposed to be covering for him, not trying really hard to give everything away?

"Okay, what are you two doing in there?"

"I forgot my scarf in my room, and Max brought it in here for me."

"Oh okay, I was just wondering. I'll see you later."

With that, the younger genius hurried back to the living room where the kitten was still sitting, wanting to watch another movie with Kenny before they headed off to bed last night. A small sigh came from the younger boy's lips, as he began to change back into his pajamas. He felt hands takes the buttons of the back of his shirt, and let his fingers brings back to their fastened state. A small smile appeared on Max's face, as the older boy finally finished what he was doing, and helped the younger boy to his feet. Max looked at the older boy's chest again, seeming to like the older male's frame more than anything, as he blushed again. Kai didn't seem to mind, after seeing the blonde doing it when he came into the shower room, he thought he should get used to it. Max lifted his hand up to show the boy's clothes, which was a black silk shirt and his famous white scarf. The older boy took them into his hands and began to dress himself, using his face paint to remake the triangles that had gotten smudged in his shower.

"Kai...?"

"You should go get some rest, Max, we have training tomorrow at 10, and I don't want you over sleeping like Tyson always does." The older boy said, finishing the last triangle on his face.

"...Well... could I at least get a hug before I go?" Max said, shuffling his foot.

The older boy looked over at him, as he was drying his hands after getting all the paint off his fingers, his blood eyes looking at the younger youth's ocean blue. He gave a small chuckle, and set the towel down, giving a shrug, as if saying 'sure, go ahead.' The turtle smiled, as he brought his arms around Kai, snuggling into his chest. The other boy laid a hand on the silky blonde hair, running his fingers through the beautiful golden locks. Max gave the older boy a small kiss, on the cheek, and headed to the bedroom he had, and took a small bottle of rubbing alcohal with him. As soon as he got to his room, he shut the door, and sat down at his mirror, and poured some of the liquid onto a small rag he had on the counter, and began to rub it soothingly against his neck where the older boy had bit him.

Unknown to the younger boy, the door had opened to show the navy haired boy, his storm eyes gleaming evily, as he closed it silently behind him, and slowly began to creep towards the blond, his hands brought up like he was a werewolf, and he was going to eat Max alive. Max brought the rag away from his neck to see it had fadded from his neck, as a small sigh came from his throat, as he laid it down. Out of nowhere, he found the older Japanese boy throw his arms around him, as he nearly fell onto the desk that he had been sitting by. He picked himself up, and looked over his shoulder to see the older boy with his arms around his shoulders, his face set up in a boyish grin, his chest resting against the younger boy's neck, making him seem nervous that the other male would ask why he had rubbing alcohal in his room. But... being the idiotic person Tyson is, he didn't even notice it.

"Maxie, I'm so bored, and Hilary won't leave me alone!"

"...Why does this concern me?" Max asked with a raised eyebrow.

Tyson gave the sad puppy eyes, "Could you sleep with me tonight, Max?"

Max felt himself jump in his seat, "W-What...?"

"Awww, please, Max, everytime we used to go somewhere, you always sat next to Rei or Kai, leaving me with the Chief."

"B-But, Tyson..."
"Please?"

Oh god... this wasn't good. Tyson was giving the look, and it looked like he wasn't going to leave him alone until he agreed to it. He was slowly starting to give in to the boy's power of persuasion (the sacred POP laughs). Suddenly, something grabbed the collar of Tyson's yellow with chibi frogs pajamas, and held him into the air. The savior of the day was none other than our favorite kitty, Rei. His golden eyes were narrowed on the younger boy that was in his grip, as he turned towards the door. Being the stubborn dragon his was, the storm eyed male wiggled around like a fish in the tiger's grip.

"Rei, lemme go, I was talking to my Maxie!"

"Maxie wants to be left alone tonight, try asking again next week." With that, he dropped the younger boy at the doorway.

"Rei, you little tyrannt! Why are you keeping me from Max?" Tyson pouted like a baby.
"Because I checked your room before I came in here, and you still have more than half of your homework to do, and besides we have training in the morning, so you need to get some sleep."

Tyson grinded his teeth together, as he walked down the hall, grumbling the kitten was just as bad as their sour puss captian. He small chuckle came from Rei, as he turned his head to look over at Max.

"You okay in there, Max?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for your help, Rei."

"Sure thing." The kitty winked. "Anyways, I'll see you in the morning, me and Kenny are gonna watch Reflections before we head off to bed."

"Kay, night." Max waved as the older boy headed off to see his little Chief.

A small smile appeared on the blonde's lips. Rei and Kenny were the only couple in this house that had been honest with their feelings, and they seemed to be doing just fine. He had Kai, and Tyson was trying to hit on his every chance he got. He gave a sigh, being a cute hyper blonde was sometimes a disadvantage when you were in love with one person, and others want you instead. He rubbed his head, maybe a good night sleep like Kai said would help him clear his head. He set his stuff aside, and headed over to his bed, and laid down, and brought the blankets over his frame, as he fell asleep, his blonde bangs covering his eyes.

Something hot was dripping onto the slate haired boy's face, as he gave a little twitch, as his blood red eyes opened, as he found his hands brought up in chains. Oh god... this dream again. He was back. In that room of nothing but darkness, his wrists and ankles in binds, and something that felt like blood dripping across his face, and body. He tried not to look forward, if he did, he was going to see them again... the images of his mind that he saw over and over again, and it left a new scar in his heart as he saw them. Suddenly, dark hands appeared behind him, and grabbed his head, and forcefully turned his head, making him look forward. His eyes were wide as saucers, as the sight was brought back into his vision once again.

The still form of his little turtle was lying on the ground in front of him, a trail of blood seeming to slowly pour from his waist. his whole frame looking limp and pale. The older boy managed to pull himself together, and and slowly made his way over to the form of his lover, and kneeled next to him, and laid a hand on his head, feeling the slightly blood stained hair through his fingers. Something new was making it's way down his face, as he raised both of his hands to see it was tears. He tried to wipe them off, but it only caused him to spread the blood that was already on his face.

"It's your fault, you know." Came a dark voice.

The older boy turned around to find himself looking at a shadowed figure, the only thing visible is the red eyes that burned into his own red rose orbs. He seemed to resemble someone, but he couldn't make it out. He growled, as he turned to face this new person, the one that said that he was the one that killed Max, the only person he held dear in his life.

"Your lying! How could I ever bring myself to hurt him! I care for him more than anything."
"Tsk tsk, you should know better than to play dumb, Kai, you should know why it's your fault that the boy there is hurt. The promise you have is the reason you will never hold him in your arms, and feel anything but the icy feeling of his skin touching yours."

Kai growled angrily, as he managed to pull the shackles that were around his wrists apart, and flew at the shadow, as if he was going to rip him apart, his fist was caught by a surprisingly strong hand. The shadow's hand began to slowly apply pressure against his curled up fist, causing a wince of pain to appear on his face. A evil smirk appeared on the seemingly stronger and older shadow's face, as he threw the Russian to the ground, the boy's arms getting soaked in the turtle's warm blood, as his eyebrow twitched angrily.

"Look at it, my young Kai. Drink it all in, remember the feel of the young boy's blood against your skin. You will soon be feeling it between your fingers again soon. And you want to know the scary thing?" The dark fingers of the shadow was pressed against the boy's blood soaked shoulders, as a icy voice drifted into his ears, "Your going to enjoy it."

The blood red eyes were frozen over in horror, as he looked down at his hands, seeing the crimson liquid dripping from his fingers, the tears appearing in his pained eyes. He reached a hand out, and went to lay his hand against the boy's head, but then everything went up in darkness. The body was gone, the shadow was gone, the chains were gone. He was alone... alone once again in his darkness.
