"Talk"

´Thoughts´

A/N: Yes this took awhile I know. To be honest I have kinda lost inspiration for this as Im currently thinking about my other fics in progress but Im going to finnish this anyway. I hope I have some readers left here. ^^

On with the story!

Ray opened his sleepy eyes in the morning and he instantly met familiar rubin ones.

"How long have you been awake?" he murmured.

"A while. I was just watching you sleep." Ray turned his back to him and felt Kais arms around him in seconds. Last night had been great. But also painful. He wanted to forgive Kai for that happened between him a Wyatt, but it still hurt as long as his partner didn´t get the kid to understand. Why didn´t he? Was Kai really feeling something for him?

"Kai...I can´t go on like this." He said firmly as fear struck his thoughts. The noise of Kais breathing told him that he was listening. "I..I need to know that you want to be with me..." he continued.

"You really don´t know that? If not anything else, didn´t I show you that last night?"

"As long as you don´t tell Wyatt how it is, I don´t know what to believe."

"I have told him. But I can´t help that he doesn´t listen."

Ray frowned of the thought and got out from the hold as he left the warm bed. Kai sighed as the door to the bathroom was closed and he banged his head against the pillow. He had told Wyatt that he was with Ray, and he didn´t want that to change, but..he didn´t want to hurt his friend. Wyatt was his first friend ever outside the team and what he had done for him was still important.

"C´mon Kai. Get real.." he whispered to himself. He didn´t want to hurt Wyatt, but he was hurting Ray right now by not doing anything. So there wasn´t anything else to do...

He also go up from the bed and walked over to the door. The floor felt cold under his feet.

"Ray, can you open up?" he said by the door.

When there was no answer he put his forehead against the surface. "Please..."

Then he heard footstep and backed away as his raven haired partner opened.

"I´ll do it. I make sure this don´t happen again." Ray didn´t look at him, so he took his chin so he could get the eye contact. "I promise." He leaned in and was going to get a kiss when Rays finger stopped his lips.

"Then I hold you to that promise. And you get the reward after it´s done." He said with his confident smirk that Kai liked so much. Ray Kon, not so innocent at all. "Then I better get ready." He concluded with same face and moved into the room to get a well needed shower.

---------------

The classes were many this day. Ray sat at his desk and was playing with the pencil between his fingers. He felt much better now, because Kai would never break a promise like that. He figured out the answer of the question on his paper and wrote it down. When he looked up it wasn´t hard to noticed that some of the other student was looking at him..or slight glaring at him.

He knew why. His little outburst on Wyatt yesterday had made the word to spread. Now everybody thought he was a violent savage. It was too bad, since he could really need a friend now when Kai had his own little mission. It was times like this, that he really missed Tyson, Max and Kenny.

He was not a violent person at all and they knew that. He didn´t need to prove anything to his team anymore, but to this rich kids that had been witness to yesterdays incident...was another story.

Like he saw it, he had two choices. He could glare back at them, because he knew that they wanted his boyfriend to hook up with Wyatt. Or he could just be the nice guy he was and ignore them.

Sometimes he hated to be nice.

The bell rang out, making the student to rise from their seats. He didn´t look at any of them when the group was leaving through the single door. After a while when he came out in the hallway a voice made him look up from the floor.

"Isn´t it the fierce tiger?"

"It´s not funny." He said as Seth approached him with a teaseful grin. He knew the guy was confident from his last meeting with him.

"No? I wasn´t there to witness the scene yesterday, but the rumor says you made the little kid almost wet his pants."

The comment made Ray smile, he didn´t like to show that he was annoyed by the teasing. "Lucky for me, I´d never put much weight in rumous."

"That´s good, so what about go somewhere and tell me what really happened?"

He thought about it for a moment. He hadn´t got much chance to talk with the guy and the first impression hadn´t been that great, but he could really use a friend right now. He didn´t want to be shallow.

"Yeah, I could need some company." He said and motioned Seth to fallow him.

Instead of lunch they decided to take a walk in one of the parks nearby. Ray liked this park. Too bad that Kai hadn´t got the chance to show him this. The trees was very big and the wind made the branches to sing. They were walking down on a gravel path for a while before Seth broke the silence.

"So..what happened between you and Wyatt?"

Ray had almost forgotten that episode as he had taken in the nature. It felt like a hit in the stomach when Seth brought it up again, but he didn´t show it.

"Let´s just say he pressed the wrong buttons too many times and I lost it. It was not a pretty sight." He said after a moment of silence.

"Did you hit him?"

"Almost, lucky for me Kai was there to stop it. End of story"

Seth had to laugh, making the raven teen to look at him suprised. "Lucky for you? To me it look like Wyatt was the lucky one. You would have kicked his ass with all your fighting skills."

"Wha...?"

"Everybody around here knows about you background. I know very much except where in China you came from. But since you told me that last time, I can say that I know you pretty well. You have studied Kung-fu right?"

"Hehe, I guess that is the price you pay for being in Bladebreakers. Yes I have. Are you into that stuff?" he asked as they turned around to get back to the school.

"Yes, I´d love if you would teach me some?" Seth said as he stopped by a bench and took of his green jacket. "Eh..sure. I guess I can." Ray fallowed his example and folds the arms of his white shirt up to his elbows.

For the next fiveteen minutes Ray was showing movements of his kung fu style. He thought that Seth was very excited and committed to the little lesson. They were standing in front of eachother with the same stand as Ray asked him to attack him.

Seth tried to hit but was faced the ground soon as Ray got hold of his arm and put him down by turning his wrist. He didn´t hit the ground hard, since Ray wasn´t as harsh on him that he would have been if it was a real fight.

"Ray I swear, even if I have to steal your time everyday from now on, you have to teach me that." He said from the ground.

Ray actually enjoyed himself from the lesson. He felt like he was back home in China again, teaching. It was good to really relax. He was going to let go of his hand. But Seth took his and helt it tight. Those green eyes was digging into his golden ones. "Care to help me up warrior?" he grinned.

Ray shook his head at the others comment, and he started to pull his arm but got shocked as Seth yelled out in pain and pulled back and rolled over to the side to hide his face.

"What is it? Are you hurt? Seth..talk to me." Ray said and got down on one knee to check on him. "Is it your arm...hey!" he gasped as Seth surprised him by pull him down as well and rolled over so he was on top of him. The Neko was so stunned by the action until the blonde took his hands and pressed them to the ground. Then he knew what he wanted. So fucking typical..

With a lust filled look Seth started to close the distance between their lips but the raven protested and turned his head to the side, making the other to kiss his cheek instead.

Ray felt very uncomfortable with feeling someones lips that wasn´t Kai. It made him feel that Kai and him was the real deal, and he could only hope that Kai felt the same way when Wyatt kissed him.

"...What?"

"Don´t do that.." he said and slowly looked back to him. "I won´t do this."

"But I have liked you since we first met.." Then Seth got a scared face. "Im so sorry..I don´t know why but I just assumed that you were.."

"No, I am...it´s not that. Don´t worry." He tried to look around them in case if someone would walk by. The tension got bigger. "Um..can you get of please?"

"But I want you..I want you so much..." The blonde made another attempt to get in close, making Ray to growl and pushed him of violently. "I said no!"

He quickly got up from the ground and turned his back to the other who looked up at him from his sitting position . "I think we better go back now. I have a few things to do.." he finally said to break the heavy and awkward silence.

"Are we ok?"

"Just, don´t try that again. Im not an insecure uke. Besides, I already have a partner."

Seth didn´t like that news. He could easy figure out who that partner was and it made him bitter, But he kept quiet and got up by himself and nodded. "I understand."

"...Then I guess... I can´t talk about this right now." He said as he started to walk, making the other to run after him.

Both of them walked out from the park together, trying to come up with a new conversation even though it was difficult. None of them had acknowledge the hidden presence that put away the cellphone.

"Well Wyatt..." Oskar said. "You wanted to prove Rays bad side...I think I´ve got it." He said to himself as he looked at the picture he just taken.

-------------------------

Kai walked into the dining room to look for his friend. And he found him at a table with Seth. They where laughing together at something and it was a nice scene to see. He hadn´t seen the teen so happy sense before Ray had arrived.

He walked over and got a friendly greeting, and he declined to his down with them.

"I need to talk with you..alone. Can we go to my room?"

"Of course!" Wyatt said with big eyes. Making Zen give the thumb up with a grin.

---------------------------

The Neko left a confused Seth on the school yard. And walked into the school. All he wanted to do was to go to his room and have a nice nap before his afternoon class.

When he reached his destination he opened the door only to face Kai with Wyatt. Perfect.

He couldn´t read Kais face, probably because of Wyatts presence. The brown haired boy didn´t look to happy to see him. He got up from his seat on Kais bed and took a stand behind him. It was supposed to seem like he was being careful, but the raven new that he just wanted a excuse to be close to Kai.

"Um..I leave you two, so you can talk." He said and was going to close the door when he got a sign from Kai.

"Ray."

Both them looked at him. As he glared at him. "Im hope there won´t be a reason for me to be scared of you in the future."

The tiger felt his hand grip the door knob tightly but it didn´t show on his face. He saw that Kai was trying to read him to, but he could only play along right now. "No Wyatt, it wont."

With that the door was closed.

"You know he won´t hit you." Kai said sceptically as Wyatt sighed to loudly in a fake attempt to be relived and took a seat again on his bed again.

"You never know."

Kai moved over to the door to stop there. This was the point for him to take a decision. And to be honest, taken the decision wasn´t the problem. It was how he was going to do it. He wasn´t used to this kind of situations.

"Wyatt, listen. Im sorry but I have decided that it can´t be anymore questions between us." The phoenix finally said with a firm voice.

Wyatt felt his heart froze. What was going on?

"W-hat?"

Kai turned around to face him. His face was as serious as ever. "I want you to know that the kiss was a mistake and it will never happen again."

The youngest body started to tremble and his tears started to form quickly. "H-ho-w Can you say that? No, it w-as not!...I...Did Ray force you to tell me thi.."

"Keep Ray out of this." Kai said. "This is between you and me."

"No! It was him! It´s always him..." he got up from the bed and stamped on the floor like a little child. His expression was hurt and his breathing was unstable. His at the moment red eyes became hidden under his bangs as he lowered his head to whisper. "Why Kai?"

Kai sighed and looked away. "I..honestly don´t know. It just not meant to be you and me."

Before he knew it he heard Wyatt cry out and he was slammed against the wooden dresser. He normally have better reflexes than that but he didin´t expect Wyatt to do something like this. Wyatt clutched on his shirt and hide his face against him. His sobs became even more uneven.

"I d-don´t believe that. I refuse to believe that! I love you! And I know you care about me!"

"That´s just it. I care about you, but not in that way.." Kai felt that his shirt was going to rip soon by the pressure of Wyatts hands, but he ignored it. "Im really sorry that I hurt you like this."

"I thought we were close.."

"In my opinion, we still are."

Kai held back a grunt as he was pushed back against the dresser again, as the other let go of him. He dried his tears and his body language more collected, but also defensive.

"I wan´t to know why.."

Kai stayed where he was.

"I want to know why it always is about Ray, and why Im not good enough for you!" he growled like never before. The normally calm and lovestruck Wyatt was now behaving like a hungry Tyson.

Kai felt himself getting less understanding and more annoyed. "Im not going to.."

"Yes you are! You are going to talk with me about him. I deserve that much!" the brown haired teen yelled making the captain go silent.

"This is not fair, Kai! Not many guys can compete with him. I mean look at him, slim body, long silky hair, not brown, not blue, not green, but GOLDEN eyes! How are anyone supposed to compete with that! And another question: Are his looks making him the perfect boyfriend or are it just making you spoiled?"

Kai just glared at the others direction. He knew the teen was just handle the situation, but he didn´t like listen to where this was going. To hide the sign as stress or irritation, he cross his arms over his chest as he always does and he is able to look more calm than he actually is.

"Kai...I don´t like him, but Im not that stupid to not see that he his nice to look at. But looks are not everything. And fame is not everything. You can´t be afarid to not be perfect. It´s okay to choose a normal boyfriend that will make you happy."

He stopped his speech there and he had a new hope in his eyes. It was easy to see that the teen had convinced himself with the words but Kai wasn´t as impressed.

"So you think I´m with Ray because it would look good in magazines?"

"....That is what I believe." Wyatt said with hope and confidence.´I knew you would understand`

"Then you are more shallow then I ever thought." Was the answer making Wyatts world to break once again.
