Good morning. It's kind of sad that my reviews are all anonymous. Whatever.

Pairing: KaixRen

Time: During the VF Circuit

"Why are we here, Ren?"

"Kai, you're being stupid again. We're here to enjoy ourselves!" said Ren full of enthusiasm. Kai couldn't believe he let himself drag to this silly activity. And he quite couldn't understand why Ren didn't take Asaka with him.

"So come on, don't stay behind!" said Ren as he put on his skates. But before Kai pulled out his own, Ren stopped and looked frustrated at his skates.

"What's wrong?"

"My blades are dull, I can't skate like this!"

"We can head back then and do some useful activity instead," said Kai, feeling really uncomfortable at this place.

"No way! Over there is that guy, who will fix this. I refuse to give up on a day with you, Kai. Why do you think I told Tetsu and Asaka to stay back?" said Ren with a huge smile. Kai knew better than anyone else that Ren is as childish as an elementary school student. He had to admit that it was sometimes really cute.

"Whatever. Just hurry up."

After Ren finally got his blades sharpen, he dragged Kai to the ice-rink. Kai put up a fight, since he really didn't want to. And you ask why? The great Toshiki Kai had no idea how to skate. He thought he could go through with it, just by standing at the edge of the skating-rink, how he was mistaken.

"Are you planning on staying there all day?" asked Ren, as he made that fake pouting face. From Ren's behavior Kai could swear that he showed all the signs that he was in love with him. This always confused Kai, because it was always so strange being around Ren. However, he didn't really dig into it that much, since Asaka was 24/7 around Ren. He didn't have many chances.

"Ren, I'm really not into this."

"Don't you fool me," exclaimed Ren, after he grabbed Kai's sleeve and pulled him to in the middle of the rink. Now Kai couldn't run away anymore, it was not like he was able to. Kai didn't show any sign of nervousness, but he was in serious trouble right now. What should he do?

"Ren, get back here," he said, almost in a whisper.

"What? Oh, I see, could it be? Kai doesn't know how to skate!"

Kai just frowned, a bit angered that Ren made fun of him like this. As hard as he tried, he couldn't recall why he agreed in the first place to go with him.

"I'll teach you," said Ren with an innocent smile and grabbed Kai's hands. He started to skate backwards and pulling Kai with him. It was a little strange at first, but Kai quite enjoyed it after the moves got a little bit smoother and they stopped falling down every 5 seconds.

"Isn't it fun, Kai?"

Kai just stayed silent. He wasn't the type to say something was fun. But he felt really grateful that after that Psyqualia issue, they could hang out like old buddies again. Just because of that power they were torn apart for so long.

But this was over now, forever.

After awhile Kai finally managed to stay on the ice by himself. He felt somehow free as he glided on it. But one wrong move made his whole body fell forward and he prepared himself for the impact to come. However, none came. After a few seconds he opened his eyes to see himself in the embrace with Ren.

"Now that was a close one, you could have really injured yourself."

Kai felt relieved. It was just ice, but the impact would have definitely hurt. The position he was in may looked strange, but it was right, he could really tell that it was right. Their bodies fit into each other like two pieces of a puzzle.

"So no kiss for the hero, who saved the one in need?"

"Are you serious, Ren?" asked Kai, as he raised an eyebrow. Was he joking or something, Kai couldn't figure it out.

"Kai, you're being mean again!" said Ren and did his favorite pouting again. And right then Kai knew that Ren felt it too. Since the moment they met there was always something between them and that didn't change after so many years.

Kai chuckled and leaned in. He kissed Ren on the cheek. This was a beginning of something wonderful.

"Now was that so difficult?"

"Knock it off, Ren."
