Chapter 14

Brooklyn's eyes widened. "You really think he would do that?" he asked not really sure he wanted to hear the answer since he knew what it was.

Kai looked at Brooklyn for a minute and then sighed. "With how much Bryan and Tala hurt him as well of course I think he will do that." Kai wasn't one for holding back the truth but seeing the look on Brooklyn's face had made him want to. "And why would your brother tell?"

"He would tell because I forced him away from Tala. I took away his fun." He responded going angry again. Kai walked closer to where their bodies were almost touching and placed his hand on Brooklyn's cheek. Brooklyn leaned into it and closed his eyes trying to relax.

"So now what?" Kai asked softly wanting to move closer but not daring to until his love had calmed down not sure of what he would do if he wasn't calm.

"Now we open the door and bring in a snooping Bryan and Tala and then go to your place to check the machine and see if Bryan got a call. They don't know the place has two teenage boys living there too. They think it is just him. Who's voice was on the answering machine." Brooklyn was talking quickly by the end and Kai could have sworn he switched to Russian a couple of times.

Kai went over to the door and said, "Bryan's." as he opened it. Bryan and Tala came tumbling in having been leaning against the door that was all of a sudden not there. "How much did you guys hear?" Kai's voice was low, he was upset.

"Just bits and pieces I sware Kai." Tala said putting his hands up defensively. "It was the really loud thud that made us turn back."

Bryan looked at the wall. "And I found the sorce of the thud." He smiled as he said it but then turned to Brooklyn his face neutral. "Tell me now my old friend." He said it softly but the air seemed colder between the two.

"They took my liscence. Some one told them about me and Kai." Brooklyn said it a bit more warmly then Bryan had expected and the air shifted back to normal. "We are betting it was either Rei or my brother."

"I'm betting Rei." Everyone turned to Tala as he spoke. "Well he would be the more likely subject. First Kai was taken from him and then he finds out it was by Brooklyn. Then not to mention that if it was then he will tell on Bryan because he played him to get back at him for Kai." Tala had looked very matter of factly even laying almost spread eagle on the floor with his boyfriend between his legs.

"Alright we will go into our room to get dressed and then head over to your place to check the machine." Brooklyn said heading for the bed room.

"Would they leave a message?" Bryan asked.

"They would tell him that the school board would like a word maybe not of what though." Brooklyn said. Kai followed him into the room and Brooklyn shut the door. Kai was half turned to the closet that held the shirts when Brooklyn's arms snaked around him. He jumped being taken by surprise. "I scared you out there, I'm sorry."

"It's ok." Kai said relaxing into the hold. "I've just never seen you mad before."

Brooklyn kissed the hickey. "And I hope you never have to see it again." He released Kai and went to the closet. He pulled out two shirts and handed one to Kai. They put them on and went back into the main room. Tala and Bryan hadn't changed their position except that now Bryan was up on his knees and they were kissing. Brooklyn cleared his throat and the two broke the kiss. "Let's go."

Kai watched as the two blushed and stood and he couldn't help but laugh. It was kind of funny to see them blush, like to school kids caught making out in the storage room by the teacher, except that one of the ones making out in this case was the teacher. He walked close to Brooklyn and threaded their fingers together holding his hand. They all walked out to the cars and split into the pairs to fit into the sport cars.

"You said our room." Kai said as they were driving. Brooklyn looked sideways at him then back to the road.

"Kai whether you live with me or not or whatever we do. That is the only room in the aparment and so yes that makes it our room. You have an equal part to the apartment. I'll even get you a key made." He said catching the site of Bryan and Tala in the rearview mirror.

"Brook…" Kai said excited and yet he felt like crying. "I just cost you your job…"

"No you didn't whoever told on us did. Spencer and Bryan haven't had any problems and they have been dating students for years. Which leads me to believe that if no one had told then nothing would have happened." He believed what he said but had to look at Kai to see if he did too. "Kai I'm not upset. If I had to pick between you and my job I would pick you."

Kai was taken aback by that comment. He hadn't been expecting it. He leaned over and kissed Brooklyn's cheek. "I believe you." He whispered and kissed his neck before sitting back down again. They pulled into the parking lot and walked up the stairs to the apartment. Unlocking the door Kai's eyes where immediately drawn to the red blinking light on the answering machine.
