Hey there! The last chapter for this cute little fic X3 I've got more Miguel/Kai goodness to come, of course. In fact I'm working on a fic that involves girl!Kai. Never tried one before and this idea just popped into my head so it should be fun to write X3
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
If at all possible, Miguel's smile brightens a little more and he grabs two plates and heads over to the table, placing one before Kai and the other on the other side of the table where he's going to sit. Kai picks up his fork, but waits until Miguel takes a seat before sampling his food.
He pops a small piece into his mouth and immediately concludes that this meal is delicious after only one taste. He didn't have a favorite meal before, but it seems he may have one now.
A little voice in Kai's head tells him that it isn't the food itself; it's who prepared it that's so delicious.
"This is very good," Kai compliments, savoring the taste in his mouth.
This is indeed a compliment. He doesn't have a particular good relationship with food, especially food he hasn't prepared himself, just to make sure no one slips anything in the food that he doesn't know about.
Hmm…Funny. He didn't even consider the possibility that Miguel might slip him something. It took Ray a few months to convince him that there isn't anything in the food he prepares that will make him sick when they first became teammates. But, here he is, in Miguel's house, eating the food he prepared and he doesn't have a single problem with it.
A light splash of pink appears on Miguel's cheeks as he smiles softly at the compliment, mentally thinking about the very first compliment Kai gave him at the end of their first battle during the world championships all those months ago. "Really?"
Taking another bite of his meal, Kai smiles lightly and nods his head. "Yeah, it is. You're very good. Do you cook often?"
Miguel shrugs. "Often enough. Though, I'm sure it's not as good as your cooking."
Kai raises an eyebrow in question, his head tilting ever so slight to the side in perplexity. "Oh? What makes you say that?"
Another shrug of his shoulders. "A few months ago while my team and I were still in Japan I stumbled across Tyson racing through the park, excitedly yelling something about you cooking chicken stir-fry for dinner and mowing down anyone in his way."
Kai almost drops his fork in surprise, blinking slowly. He does recall Tyson sitting at the dining table, eating utensils in hand earlier than usual. So, it was because of his cooking, huh? Interesting. Maybe he can use this piece of information for future references…
"He ran?" Kai finds himself asking, smiling happily to himself when Miguel's face brightens as he laughs.
He really does have a nice laugh.
The two easily fall into conversation, appearing to be comfortable in each other's presence as they dine together, Kai relaying horror stories of what it's like to be the captain to two teams like Grev and the blitz boys. His stories only makes Miguel laugh even more.
After his meal he thoroughly enjoyed, Kai glances at his watch and curses under his breath in a couple of different languages. He needs to head back to the brat pack. They'll have a hernia if he stays any longer.
But he doesn't particularly want to leave at the moment. He has enjoyed this trip immensely; it's very rare for him to take time off and to feel comfortable, especially in another's presence. There is something about Miguel that makes him not want to leave.
Oh, well. He'll just have to make another trip like this one soon. And chances are, with the way Grev are now, it's going to be very soon.
Kai turns his attention to Miguel, feeling reluctant and a tad irate that he has to end this encounter now, as he has had a lot of fun being with the adorable blonde. But as he parts his lips to speak, Miguel suddenly leans across the table and gentle brushes his hand against his cheek. Although in a haze of confusion, Kai feels his cheeks heat up at contact, blushing madly.
"You had something on your cheek," Miguel explains as he pulls back, a light dusting of red on his own features.
"Oh," Kai murmurs, a feeling of disappointment settling in his chest. With a shaky sigh, Kai places his hands on the table and pushes himself up onto his feet. "I should probably get going. The guys are either having a fit I'm not there, or are arrested for getting into all sorts of trouble."
"Wait. Don't go yet," Miguel says as he springs to his feet and dashes into the kitchen, only to appear moments later with a paper bag in his hands. "Here," he says, handing the package for Kai to take.
Kai carefully takes the gift in his hands, tilting his head to the side in curiosity and confusion. "What is it?"
Miguel smiles cutely. "Open it and see."
Still in a haze of perplexity, Kai turns his shimmering ruby red eyes to the bag and opens it, his fingers brushing across something soft and silky. "Huh?" he murmurs as he pulls the soft object out, his eyes widening in surprise when he sees that it's long, white scarf, made from the highest material. "This is…"
"It's to replace the one Bugsy ruined," Miguel explains.
With a blush the same color as his eyes, Kai glances up at Miguel. "You didn't have too," he says, but inwardly glad that he did.
Miguel smiles as if he can read Kai's mind. "I wanted to."
"Thank you," Kai says as he runs the soft material through his fingers. "It's beautiful."
Once again, Miguel finds himself smiling brightly and moves forward, taking the scarf from Kai's hands and places it around his neck and shoulders. A shiver of warmth races through Kai's slender frame when Miguel brushes his fingers across the delicate skin of his neck.
"Thank you," Kai whispers again when Miguel pulls back.
"You're welcome," Miguel replies just as softly.
The urge to show his gratitude to Miguel in another way soon overtakes all of Kai's senses and he leans forward to give Miguel a farewell peck on the cheek, but Miguel turns his head at the last second, and instead of kissing his cheek, he touches his lips. Kai emits a small gasp of surprise and tries to pull away to apologize, but finds himself unable to when Miguel suddenly wraps his arms around his waist and pulling him into his arms and chest. Kai stiffens at first, but soon the familiar warmth returns and he relaxes, giving himself completely into the kiss.
Kai wraps his arms around Miguel's muscular body, his hands moving up his back to rest on his shoulder blades, pulling himself deeper into Miguel's warm embrace. Miguel nibbles on Kai's bottom lip, tenderly asking permission to raise the passion level of this kiss, a request Kai is more than happy to allow.
With a soft mew and a sigh, Kai parts his lips, his fingers curling tightly around the material of Miguel's shirt, practically melting in the handsome Spaniard's arms that are warm and secure around his waist, holding him upright.
With a long, lingering caress, Miguel pulls away, but keeps Kai in a warm embrace, holding him close as he rests his chin on Kai's shoulder.
"Do you really have to leave?" Miguel asks, his voice soft, seemingly reluctant to let him go.
Another shiver races through Kai's body when he feels Miguel's warm breath against his ear and neck, and he instantly melts.
Oh, the hell with Grev. They can wait.
"Let them wait a bit longer," Kai says as he lifts his arms and wraps them around Miguel's neck, kissing his lips. Miguel returns the kiss for a moment before pulling away to take Kai by the hands and leading him into the lounge room where they stumble onto the couch, Miguel quickly pulling Kai down beside him, kissing him passionately once again.
Kai sinks against Miguel's side, lips moving slowly and tender against the others, their hands grasping the others, caressing and stroking where they dare not touch before.
With his scarf now hanging loosely around his neck, Kai utters a small sigh and snuggles against Miguel's side, resting his head on his shoulder as he lovingly runs his fingers along the silk soften material.
Looks like he's found a new favorite scarf. And there's no way in hell he's letting some adorable little fluff ball try to eat this!
Miguel wraps an arm around Kai's shoulders and rests his cheek onto of the two tone blue tresses. "You know, the next tournament is still five months away. Will I get to see you before then?"
A smile makes its way onto Kai's lips, inwardly feeling lightheaded at the notion that Miguel wants to see him again. "Of course," he says as he tilts his head back to look into Miguel's eyes. "You'll be seeing a lot more of me. I promise."
Miguel merely smiles and leans forward to place a gentle kiss on Kai's lips.
-------------------------------------
"Goodnight, Miguel! Goodnight, Bugsy!" the children yell out, waving their arms in the air with childish enthusiasm.
With a familiar gray and white fluffy bundle in his hand, Miguel waves at the retreating forms of the orphan children as they head back inside. It's getting dark outside, and the little ones have a curfew they need to keep.
"Make sure you get plenty of rest," Miguel replies, receiving a chorus of yeses. Miguel smiles to himself as he turns to put Bugsy back in his safe rabbit hutch when it suddenly wriggles from his grasp and hops away. "Bugsy, get back here," he says as he goes to follow the wayward rabbit, but then stops, a bright smile appearing on his lips when he spots a familiar dual hair enigma.
He and Kai have been together now for over three months, and they couldn't be happier. Although very few people know of their relationship, but that's going to change at the next championships where they plan to tell everyone in one place.
"Hey there, Bugsy," Kai says to the gray and white rabbit as he bounds over to him. "You've grown."
"Bugsy missed you, it seems," Miguel smiles as he too walks towards him.
Kai smiles as he scoops the little fluff ball into his arms and climbs to his feet. He meets Miguel half way and allows the handsome blonde to wrap his arms around him, falling against his chest in a way that makes the two of them feel like they were made for each other.
"Grev getting on your nerves again?" Miguel asks, still smiling as he recalls it's only been three days since he's seen Kai. Not that he's complaining or anything. In fact, the only thing he's complaining about at all that he can't see his beautiful lover more often.
"Tyson looked at me the wrong way," Kai replies, a small shrug of his shoulder.
A laugh escapes Miguel's lips. Kai's excuses for leaving Japan are getting worse and more frivolous. "You don't need an excuse to see me," he says, still chuckling as he rests his cheek in Kai's hair.
"I know," Kai replies, nuzzling his cheek against Miguel's chest. "But they do. I'm hoping that if I continue giving them lame excuses they'll stop bugging me."
"You can always tell them to piss off like to do with the blitz boys," Miguel says, to which Kai just laughs. "How are the blitzkrieg boys, anyway?"
Kai winces slightly. "Bryan found out about my jet," he tells him, regret in his voice. "He was pissed off at first, but now he just takes it on joyrides whenever he wants."
Miguel doesn't know whether he should find that amusing or utterly terrifying as now Bryan can cause all sorts of havoc in just about every country on the planet! And let's not forget the frightening fact that Bryan can actually pilot the craft himself.
He's not a bad pilot, parse, just that he likes to see what kinda of aerodynamics he can pull off.
"Oh, well," Kai suddenly shrugs. "I'll just have to buy a new one and station it here. That way, you can come and visit me."
"Sounds good," Miguel says as he places a light kiss on top of Kai's head, smiling softly when Bugsy snuggles further into Kai's arms. "Can Bugsy come, too?" he cheekily asks.
Kai laughs, holding the rabbit closer. "Yes, Bugsy can come, too."
Honestly, who can withstand someone so cute? D'awwwwwwwww…
