Chapter 8 Observations
A Day in the Life of Bryan and Kai.
Observations made by Rei Kon (Bryans boyfriend…maybe)
Bryan rolls out of bed at 11:00am, right out of bed making a loud thud as he hit's the floor. Amazingly this does not wake his bed mate Kai, also amazing is that his first class is at 14:00 making it quite impressive that he got up at all.
He stumbles to the bathroom, pisses (thankfully washing his hands afterward) and walks to the kitchen his hand up his shit scratching his chest.
He is still wearing what he wore out last night. He falls into the lawn chair and lights a cigarette, he hasn't even brushed his teeth yet. He tries to give me a hello kiss, I refuse.
Mumbling something he gets up and begins to search the cupboards, he runs his hand through his hair when he can't find what he wants, he has been trying to grow it out, it looks a mess.
In the end he sits down with a bag of bread, some butter, a knife and two packets of crisps (chips to Americans). He makes himself a crisp sandwich disgustingly mixing together crispy bacon flavour and salt & vinegar.
There is a shout from his room and he smiles. He tells me that Kai's first class was at 10:00.
He and Kai had stumbles in at about 05:00am holding each other up. They knew that they could only make it to one bedroom so they chose Bryans (Bryan said that it was closer, odd since Kai's was closer to the front door. I hoped that there wasn't another broken window).
I ask him if he and the 'King of Orgies' had sex, 'Not last night' he answers, 'We were too fucked up.'
Bryans face turns smug when Kai stomps in shouting 'You arse! You absolute arse!'
'What?' Bryan asks trying to sound innocent, it does not sound convincing.
'You turned off the alarm!'
Bryan shrugs and nods, 'You were too fucked up to go to class anyway.'
Kai stops a moment then nods, just looking at Kai you can see that the statement is true, Bryan does not hide his knowing smile.
We sit in silence as Kai lays out three cups and makes us some tea. The sun comes out from behind a cloud Bryan winces and closes the curtains. They look like shit.
Finally breaking the silence Bryan mutters, 'Some night,' he has a smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth.
'Did you find your tooth?' asks Kai placing the tea in front of us.
Bryan explains that thanks to the abbey he has a few false teeth and that last night he lost one, there is a small gap near the back of his mouth.
They begin to explain some of the evening the highlight of which for Bryan seemed to be Kai nearly getting arrested for soliciting.
'A guy slowed his car and tried to chat me up' Kai explains, 'I'm not interested but he won't go away and I can't hit him because he's in a car, at least without breaking some glass and my hand in the process. The police came and he told them that I was a prostitute and that I stood in front of their car to stop them and try to make them hire me. It took forever to sort out, in the end I had to bribe them.'
Bryan explains how he helped by watching and laughing.
Kai hadn't changed out of last nights clothes either, one look at his outfit and you could see how he could be mistaken for a prostitute. He was wearing the lowest trousers I had ever seen…almost obscenely low…suddenly I understand how the orgies started.
After about ten minutes of small talk; in which Bryan mentions a quick brawl at the club (neither of them ever mention which one) and Kai shows me his new tattoo (I understood the low trousers now), also interestingly Kai eludes to the fact that he might have a very naughty piercing.
At this point I take a moment to wonder when they stopped being cold bastards and started being crazy alcoholic stoner sluts, not that it is a bad change. It is a pity that Kai can still be so grumpy though.
Bryan lights his first joint of the day refusing to share it with either me or Kai. (apparently he doesn't have too much left after the games of 'Stoner Monopoly' we played the other night.)
By the time Wyatt comes home at 12:45pm Kai and Bryan haven't moved and I can only assume (as Kai had another class at twelve) that they are going to ditch the whole day.
Wyatt is a welcome change of pace as for the last twenty-five minutes Kai and Bryan have been arguing about if Kai blew their High School Chemistry teacher. Bryan insists that he Kai did but Kai refuses to be baited into the story, a story that he often eludes to but never tells (we think that is the reason said teacher got fires mid year). Kai, Bryan, Wyatt and Spender all attended the same private school.
When Wyatt walks through the door he is carrying lots of plastic bags. Bryan quickly jumps up and pulls out a box from one of the lower cupboards.
It is Wyatt's birthday.
Bryan hands Wyatt his present; a box full of bags of Haribo (Wyatt's favourite) and Wyatt beams. Kai on the other hand just whispers that Wyatt will have to come into his room to get his present and Wyatt blushes. Wyatt has always fancied Kai.
Wyatt opens his bags and unveils three large birthday cakes made and bought by family and friends. He cuts us all a piece and we all sing happy birthday, he has asked that there be no party. We eat it and then he and Kai disappear into Kai's room, no doubt to have that present.
Before he left he told me and Bryan that we could 'help ourselves' to the cakes. This is a big mistake as Bryan proves. I leave for my only class of the day at two. It lasts only an hour but when I get back I notice that almost all the cake is gone. At first I think that Tyson has visited…but then there wouldn't be anything left. I find Bryan in his room looking quite ill, he explains that he had a major case of the 'munchies' and couldn't help himself. I leave and Bryan sleeps until 19:00.
Meanwhile Kai and Wyatt are still in the bedroom. By the times Kai is done with him I don't think that Wyatt will even remember that it is his birthday let alone that he had cake.
At seven Bryan finally changes his clothes and brushes his teeth (he had found his missing tooth in his sock of all places!). He waits in the kitchen a few minutes and is joined by Kai who is also all dressed up. They invite me to dinner but knowing that they are set to go clubbing again I decline.
They shrug and Kai calls Tala. Tala is still quite new and has yet to learn about these things.
Tala meets them outside at eight and is dressed to impress (he is hopefully trying to impress Kai because if he even tries to touch Bryan…).
They leave and they do not come back for two days. They come home when we are in class and lock themselves in their rooms to sleep. I do not know what happened but they stay in and behave for the next two weeks, Tala seems fine though. They look like death. This time I do not ask.
