4. What Time?

Rei's body welcomed the sleep easily, and he barely stirred for hours. It wasn't until the sun had began to fall over his eyes through the space between the curtains that those golden eyes blinked tiredly. He shifted and tried to move free from Kai's arms. His lover was sleeping nearly on him, snoring quietly as he sobered. Rei whimpered and tried to move again but he only managed to have Kai grip at his waist tighter. Tears pricked t his eyes and he bit his trembling lower lip. He used to love it when Kai held him close while they slept. He craved the body heat, to listen to each steady breath, breathing in sync with him. But now it made him unhappy, saddened to know that Kai continued to hold other guys the way he held him now. Sure maybe not as protectively, but he still held them as he came to climax during sex.

Rei hadn't actually minded having to wake Kai up sometimes, though those times could be rare as Kai got up early sometimes, but lately when the Russia comes home drunk he rarely wakes up before one in the afternoon. Rei whimpered again and grabbed Kai's arms, slowly pulling them from his waist. Kai tiredly fought against the Chinese male but soon he grumbled something and turned on the other side. Rei got up quickly and walked to the bathroom, shutting the door with a slam as tears fell from his eyes. He flinched and looked down, burying his face in his hands as he cried now. Outside the door, on the bed was a now soberly looking Kai. Crimson eyes open, lips curved down, ears listening to the soft muffled sobs. He sighed, about to get up to comfort Rei before he realized that truly it was his fault that his lover was crying.

So he slowly slipped back into bed and pulled the blankets up over his shoulders, closing his eyes and falling asleep. In the bathroom, Rei hated that he was crying. He looked at himself in the mirror with disgust and glared at himself. He wasn't good enough for Kai. He really wasn't. He definitely wasn't rich, he barely has any friends or family that talk to him ever since he joined Kai in Russia, he made mistakes, he couldn't hide his emotions, he was always too easy to read…the list goes on. Kai had always disagreed. But it was Kai that was cheating now, Kai that was looking for someone else, and it was Kai that didn't love him like he used to. Rei still longed for Kai, he still adored the Russian and was ready at his every whim to do whatever he pleased. But it apparently wasn't enough.

Now Rei knew he could go on and on, and honestly he knew it was all a bunch of bull shit. Because he was good enough. Despite everything that made them so different, they had so many things alike and the other things just made their relationship more interesting. He sighed and pulled his hair out of its bind before stepping into the shower. He went on with his usual morning routine; showering, getting out, brushing his hair, brushing his teeth, brushing his hair again, then wrapping it, and then he got dressed. Once he was finished this Kai was usually long gone to work. But it was Saturday which meant Rei saw his Russian lover tucked into the blankets still. He sighed and walked out to the kitchen, which had become one of the few places he could now get to.

He had to admit though, he liked the weekends. Kai used to work them until Rei came to live with him, and because he didn't want to leave the neko-jin home all the time he began to take them off like normal people. So Rei got used to having Kai to himself; not having to share him with whoever Kai preferred to sleep with other than himself. It was on the weekends that Rei liked to pretend that Kai never even considered cheating. Because on the weekends, Kai loved him.

Buzzing. Buzzing. Buzzing. Buzzing. What was that god forsaken buzzing? Kai opened one crimson eye to see his cell, buzzing on his nightstand. It was on vibrate and he groaned as he grabbed it. Flipping it open and pressing it to his ear, he frowned.

"Hello?" He muttered, obviously not pleased with being woken up. A silky chuckle.

"Did I wake someone up?" Kai's crimson eyes narrowed and he sat up.

"Roy what do you want?" He asked, running a hand through his hair. He glanced beside him then around the room until he came to the conclusion that Rei was out somewhere in the house.

"Well my uncle is throwing this party tonight, it's actually at our usual hotel, and since he doesn't understand that I'm gay he's set me up with this woman. Basically-" God he always talked a lot.

"Get. To. The. Point." Kai said flatly. Roy sighed.

"He's trying to get me engaged to this woman, despite me telling him. So I need you to come with me. You'll be my date, he'll realize I'm actually gay, she'll be gone, I'll be single, and we'll have a special suite all to ourselves. We don't even have to stay long at the party, an hour minimum. And then we can go up and have some real fun; I'll let you fuck me as hard as you want." Roy did talk a lot. Kai was silent, because the offer was tempting.

Despite cheating on Rei, he had never left him alone when he was off. On holidays, or on the weekends; Kai didn't leave his lover on those days. But this was actually tempting. The crimson eyed male felt terrible. It was horrible that such an offer was tempting to him, since he was Rei's lover. Ren had always got testy, especially as Kai began to really need what they did almost every day, and now it seemed that Roy was getting that way too.

"Rei is here." He said flatly. Roy had sighed again.

"When will you finish him off already. Sure he was good for a few fucks but you can't hold on to what you don't have. Rei's probably already perfectly aware of it and he's probably just waiting for you to finally call it quits. So come out tonight, enjoy yourself." Kai could practically hear the cocky grin.

But he had to think; was Rei really just waiting for him to break what they had? Rei always looked happy and kissed him. Rei let him hold him, he smiled, his golden eyes always looked straight into his crimson ones with clear affection…. But was he really ready to let go of what they had? Or kind of had at least. Kai was almost scared but he couldn't show that. Rei would deal, he wasn't that fragile.

"Fine." He answered flatly. Roy chuckled again and Kai almost shivered; Roy's voice was always so smooth and silky. "What time?"
