Author's Note: This was supposed to be a oneshot. I'm aware of that. But I got so many reviews and messages begging me to continue this that I felt guilty about it and…well.... I've made a few changes because of that. All the way down to the title. I apologize ahead of time for the turn this story takes in this chapter. Some of you are about to hate me, I bet…. But I assure you, much fluffy goodness will continue later! (maybe in two chapters…. The next chapter will probably be rather dramatic as well.)
PLEASE REVIEW! Even if it's to yell at me for this turn of events....
Disclaimer: You live to torture me, don't you? I. Don't. Own.
Chapter Two
Tala woke up to the sound of his phone. He sent a quick glance at the clock, growling in annoyance. Who the hell had the nerve to call him at three in the morning!? He snatched the phone up quickly, glancing over at King to make sure his lover was still asleep. "Whoever this is, this had better be important or I'll cause you so much pain that your great grandchildren will feel it!"
"Tala, I'm so sorry!" Kai squeaked apologetically. "I didn't' even look at the clock. I'll just call back later."
"Woah, Kai, wait a second," Tala said gently, already in the process of getting up and pulling on a pair of shorts. "Okay, Kai, if you're calling me at all, it's important, and if you're calling me without looking at a clock that means something's wrong. What happened? Are you okay?"
"I can't do this, Tala," Kai replied, close to tears. "I can't stay here. I want to come home."
Tala frowned. This wasn't like Kai. At all. Even if something was bothering him, Kai was never one to break down because of it. That left Tala with one conclusion: something was horribly wrong. Tala walked into Spencer's room, not bothering to knock, and shook him awake. Spencer grumbled at first, but was up like lightning when he heard Tala's reply. "Kai, what happened? Did someone hurt you?"
Spencer followed Tala as he walked into Bryan's room and woke Bryan up as well. Tala walked out, while Spencer explained that something was wrong with Kai. All three of them walked downstairs into the living room where Tala placed Kai on speakerphone, waiting for Kai to reply.
"I had a migraine on the plane yesterday." All three Russians winced at that. They knew all about Kai's migraines, and of course he just had to be with G-Rev at the time.
"Is that what happened?" Spencer asked curiously, though he already knew the answer. Kai wouldn't call them sounding like he was about to cry if the only problem was a migraine he had yesterday.
"It's Hiro," Kai said quietly after a while, and Spencer looked up at his fellow Russians in surprise. "He gave me these headphones he had that blocked out most of the sound from the plane. And then, he let me lean on him and sleep."
"Why is that bad? You love the guy. I'd expect this to have you jumping for joy!" Bryan replied in confusion. "He didn't hurt you, did he? I swear he'll be a eunuch by sundown if he did," Bryan growled.
"No!" Kai exclaimed quickly, before turning quiet. "It's what didn't happen." The three Russians looked at each other in confusion, before waiting for Kai to continue. "I had this dream. I mean, it had to be a dream. It was just too good to be true, and…."
"What happened in the dream?" Tala asked gently.
"Hiro held me, and he kissed me, and he told me he loved me." Kai replied brokenly. Tala clenched his fists. He could tell by Kai's voice that he was crying by now. "It felt so real! But it couldn't be. I mean, he's not here anyway. I woke up and I'm the only one in the room. And judging by how quiet it is, I'd expect I'm the only one here at all from G-Rev. It's just too good to be true. It can't have happened. And if it did, why would he just leave like that without even leaving a note? Who am I kidding? He doesn't love me; he can't love me! I'm so stupid!"
Bryan got up angrily, before pulling out his own phone and making a quick call. No doubt he was getting one of Kai's jets ready. "Kai, don't say that. Anyone who doesn't love you is an absolute moron. You're an amazing guy. You're smart, you're hot, you're caring, you're everything most people would kill for in a boyfriend."
"Unless you're Hiro," Kai whispered.
"Kai, we're coming out there," Bryan interrupted. "We'll be there in six hours."
"I'll meet you at the airport," Kai replied quietly, before hanging up.
"I'm going to KILL that bastard!" Bryan yelled furiously.
"Plot revenge later. Our first priority is Kai," Tala replied. "Don't worry. If the case arises that we can still kill him, I'll help you. But we're torturing him first."
"Let's just get packed," Spencer replied. "It's going to take some explaining for our boyfriends. The faster we wake them up and get packing, the faster we get to Kai." The other two nodded, before practically running up the stairs.
"King, baby, wake up," Tala murmured as he crawled onto the bed and nuzzled his lover gently.
"Tala, I'm not up for another round. You weren't exactly gentle last night. Use your hand, or go back to sleep. I'm tired," King replied with just a hint of irritation and amusement in his voice, before turning over.
"I'm sorry, love, but you need to get up so we can pack. Something happened with Kai, so we're flying out there as soon as we're done packing."
"Is he alright?" King asked, genuinely concerned.
"If he's not, I'm going to kick Hiro's ass so hard he'll never be able to sit down again."
oOoOoOoOoOo
Kai parked in front of the airport and got out of his car slowly, before walking inside to the greeting area for the international terminal. Instead of leaning against the wall, he sunk into one of the chairs and held himself tightly.
This was unbearable, it really was. The mere thought of Hiro was enough to make the tears well up in Kai's eyes.
Was it really too much to ask to be loved? His entire life he'd been abused and taken advantage of by everyone, minus the Blitzkrieg Boys, really. Just once, he wanted somebody that would love him and protect him, someone to be there for him. But no, it seemed even that was too much of a request.
What was wrong with him? Why was he so impossible to love? Was it because he wasn't good looking enough? Was he not smart enough? Maybe he was just cursed to die miserable and alone…
Kai held back a sob as he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around him, knowing instantly that it was Tala. He allowed the redhead to help him up and lead him out to his car, climbing into the back seat as Tala decided to drive. Kai then felt himself being pulled into Bryan's embrace.
"It's alright, Kai, let it out," Bryan whispered, and Kai found he couldn't hold back anymore. By the time they got to the hotel, Kai's sobs had lessened considerably, though the tears were still running down his cheeks. Tala, followed closely by Spencer, helped Kai up to his room carefully, leaving the others to get their bags.
Kai kept his head down the whole way to his room after handing Tala the key. It wasn't until Tala stepped in front of him protectively and growled angrily, that Kai looked up. He blinked in surprise. The entire G-Rev team was in there, along with Hiro, whose eyes were currently locked on Kai's.
Kai felt Spencer grab his arm and lead him away, while Tala continued to stand there menacingly. Kai glanced back one more time, seeing what, if he didn't know better, looked like a concerned look on Hiro's face, who continued to stare after him.
