5. Morning

Rei had been getting into a somewhat better mood. He'd put the coffee on for when Kai came down, made himself a cup of tea, and put out some of the banana bread one of their staff made. He had warmed it even, so it was soft. He smiled slightly as he looked around the kitchen, leaning against the counter. He liked being in Russia, he had to admit. He didn't fully understand the language yet but honestly he enjoyed being there. Kai had taken him around most of Moscow; he used to take him out almost every day. Rei stared out the window as he remembered the times Kai took him out; they had done so much. The Russian had showed him it all – everything any tourist would want to see and more.

The night Rei had come to Moscow, Kai had taken him out to dinner. He had treated him to the most wonderful place, read everything on the menu to him, and helped him order. Kai had seemed so happy then, so glad to see Rei there with him. That night the crimson eyed male had held him close, whispering sweet words of love, kissing every inch of skin. It was wonderful; the happiness and love that they both had with and for each other. The following month Kai had made himself take off from work – spending some real time with Rei. The golden eyed neko-jin had loved every moment of Kai's attention he got.

His golden eyes flickered up to look at his crimson eyed lover who walked in, now wearing pants over his boxers. He looked at Rei and his lips quirked up quickly, walking over to the coffee machine.

"Morning Rei." He said. Rei smiled slightly and sipped his tea.

"Morning Kai." He replied simply. He listened to Kai getting himself a cup of coffee, silently sipping his tea.

"So I have to go out tonight." Kai stated and Rei's eyes widened.

No…He set down his tea cup and stared hard at the window, biting his lower lip as it began to quiver.

"It's a work party, there will be many different clients and investors there. I have to go." He said, stirring his cup of coffee with his back still to Rei. "I'll be staying the night at the hotel there."

Golden eyes filled with tears and Rei closed his eyes, feeling them spill down his cheeks. Kai was honestly going to leave him on the weekend, alone in the house, to go cheat on him. He knew it, just from the tone Kai used as he spoke. His shoulders shook, his hands trembled in front of him and he refused to turn around. Kai lifted his cup to take a drink of his steamy coffee, turning to look at Rei. His eyes widened a fraction and he set down his mug.

"Rei?" He asked, stepping forward to touch his back. Rei flinched away from his touch, taking a step away as if Kai had burned him.

"You're going out to cheat on me again." He whispered. Kai stood stock still in the middle of the kitchen.

"Rei that's not-"

"Don't say it's not true." Rei snarled, turning to glare with broken, tearful golden eyes. "Because I know it is."

Yes, he'd finally been snapped. Everything seemed to be crumbling around him, including his hear inside his chest. Kai stared at him for a long moment, just watching Rei slowly begin to break down. His body shook practically violently and his eyes flashes with anger and hurt. He'd been willing to forgive Kai, he would have forgotten it all if Kai had just confessed. But now he was done with it.

"Almost every night you come home late. And if you don't come home late you go out and come home early in the m-morning s-smelling of alcohol and another g-guy. And I always p-pretend that I don't notice that you t-taste different but you do." Rei was saying, voice shaking. "And I hate you for it. Because I love you and I wanted to pretend that you didn't c-cheat on me. But you do, all the time."

Kai was silent still, motionless as he stared at Rei. Crimson eyes were dark and his expression was unreadable. Rei just decided he'd continue.

"I didn't f-find out until that one night you came home and gave me a kiss before saying you were too tired to eat dinner. So I said I'd meet you in b-bed that night and I began to clean up the d-dinner I'd made for you. I was putting away your brief case and I grabbed your cell phone to charge it. But the light was b-blinking." Rei took a shaky breath and glared at the ground, not even wanting to look at Kai. "I flipped it open and it s-said it was from someone name Ren."

Kai winced; hearing the name come from the neko-jin's lips hurt him. He wished he hadn't done this to Rei, it was crushing him to watch the Chinese boy breaking down like this.

"I was going to bring it to you but the message automatically p-popped up." Rei was silent for a moment, keeping Kai tense as he waited to hear it. "Even though you just left I'm still hard Kai. Please come back and fuck me as hard as you always do. I want to feel you inside of me, making me scream your name." Rei quoted, remembering every word correctly.

Tears dripped off his chin and he looked up at Kai with glittering golden eyes filled with broken emotion.

"Don't worry about your pathetic lover, he's not good enough. But Kai I am; so come back and tell me you love me as I moan your sexy name." Rei finished, voice merely a whisper.

Kai's throat felt dry. Rei had just recited one of the many text messages Ren sent when he got testy enough to bug him for more. He'd spoken the insult to himself and Kai hated that Rei had ever seen those words. He looked at the exotic eyes before they fell away as Rei looked down again. He just stood there and cried for a few minutes, body shuddering with every soft sob.

"Kai I knew from the start I wasn't much of anything too special but I thought I meant something to you. Nearly everyone I know has isolated me from their life because I chose you. I chose us. I moved to Russia, despite hating the cold and not knowing the language, so we wouldn't be apart. Everything from day one for me has always been about me, and you, and our relationship." He said, voice barely quivering as he spoke with a bit more confidence now. "But any relationship we ever had apparently is nothing to you." He whispered.

"Rei that's ridiculous. I love-" Kai tried to protest but Rei turned away from him.
