Hi! thank you guys very much for all the liking, following and especially on reviewing. as a thank you, here is a new chapter. warning: there are some randomness in this chap. as Tala would say, creepy. see more for yourself ;)
They had waited for few hours. Sometimes the rain seemed to stop, only to regain it's fury soon after. The yard was already plotted with puddles. And he had thought that the yard was very even.
He heard a sigh. He looked at Kai who was now rubbing his eyes with thump and index finger.
"What's the matter?" he asked worried. Warily Kai looked up at him.
"It's getting late. And the storm just seems to continue. I had some work to do this evening. And I bet you need to get to your home too". He shrugged.
"Not really. Sure it would be nice to be at school tomorrow morning, but other than that I am fine". Kai stared at him intently for a while. The red eyes narrowed when Kai tried to read his mind. He rolled his eyes "Yes. I am serious. But what will we do then? I mean, not like we can sit here all night." Kai lifted an eyebrow. He frowned. Then he realized where they really were and glanced at the stairs. "You serious?" Kai shrugged.
"Not like we can get out. Or you have some other great plan?". He wracked his brain, but no, he couldn't think other way. So he shook his head and said
"One room or two rooms?". Kai smirked
"That depends more on you. Are you too scared to spend the night in the same room?". He laughed
"I have already passed out in front of you. Why would it be scary?". Kai leaned in
"Because this time you are not wasted. But fully comprehending on what is going on". Kai's eyes were burning. He felt a heat building inside of him. The eyes were going to burn him up too. He swallowed hard and lowered his eyes on the table. He heard a snicker from Kai, and carefully he looked up, just so see Kai having flopped back to his chair, mischievous grin on his face. He cocked his head. Kai was a bit strange case. He still didn't know much about him, just that he had money, some work, managed to ruin and lost his lighters ever so often, and he knew a bit too much about him to be normal. He frowned.
"Tell me. How do you know so much about me?". For a moment, Kai looked away and shrugged. Then he looked back to him. Having that stoic unreadable look again.
"I just happen to..." Kai paused, looking deep in thought " found you interesting and wanted to know a bit more. So I looked and learned a bit more." his frown deepened.
"But how? I don't have anything that vital in any of my websites. And other registries are off record for random access". There was a hint of a smile on Kai's lips
"Well then. It was a miracle. Don't you think?"
"Kai"
"Yes?"
"Can I trust you? I mean, are you a stalker, crazy person, pervert or something creepy?". Kai actually tilted his head a little.
"You do realize that is a bit paradoxical question? I mean, if I would be one of those things you mentioned, I would just lie about it. So it's still up to you if you trust me. And by the way, you apparently don't recall much about what we talked when you had a hangover."
He shrugged as a reply. And Kai sighed.
"I don't know if you can trust me. But I can promise I would do everything I can to keep you out of harms way. Whether I have something to do with the troubles or not." now it was his turn to lift an eyebrow.
"Last time you promised that your secrets won't be bad."
"Not at such. But I can't completely rule it out either anymore"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"My work. A part of it." he shook his head
"What is it that you do? Tell me!" Kai stared at him straight in the eye. He was caught. He couldn't break the connection even if he wanted to. He saw that Kai was serious. And a bit wary. "Tell me." he whispered. Kai looked tormented for a moment, closed his eyes and slowly shook his head.
"No. Not now. I told you earlier, told you to walk out if you couldn't handle the secret" the red eyes opened. "I ask you again. I won't ask again, and I don't want to have this conversation again. Do you want to keep seeing me, or do you want us to go separate ways? It's not too late."
His heart hurt. He felt like choking. Why was it this hard. "Why do you have to have secrets?" he muttered, not meaning for Kai to hear. But Kai heard and sighed
"Because it's part of what I do. What I am. I can say that I was raised so. To calculate all the possible effects that an information might have.". He didn't understand.
"Are you some sort of a secret agent or something? Do you enjoy being so freaking mysterious?" he was tired, his head hurt and his chest hurt. He wanted Kai to talk to him. To get closer to him. Not being treated like a kid or fling. Kai gave a lopsided smirk
"Sorry, I'm nothing that fancy. And sometimes, I do find it good to know I am triggering others curiosity. I mean, would you have taken such a big shine on me if I would be just normal random person?"
he sighed.
"Fine. Let me see if I follow. Your work is a bit shady?" a shrug "possible dangerous?" another shrug "and you like having the upper hand?" smirk and a nod. He sighed and dropped his head to his palms, partly annoyed, partly ready to laugh. The situation was crazy. He didn't know where he was, with a rather shady guy, who just happened to be extremely good looking, interesting to hang around and smart. "Okay. I have to admit, I am the curious type, so it's anything but easy for me to let it be, but I will do my best. And maybe one day you can tell me what it is that you do?" he looked at Kai hopefully. Kai stared him back and finally answered.
"Hope so. But I won't promise" he rolled his eyes. Impossible.
"I hope you are telling the truth. I will feel rather stupid if this is all in your head." he received a smirk
"It's not. Are you soon going to answer me?" Kai had a tiny anxious glint in his eyes. He smiled to the guy and shrugged. Kai grunted with annoyance, but grinned anyway. When getting this tiny payback, he continued.
"But whatever it is, you will try to keep me out of harms way. Which you have done. You helped me with Brian. So. I think I can trust you. I mean, so far you haven't given me a reason not to trust you. You have been good company. But, I will need one answer from you."
Kai frowned and thought hard. His eyes narrowed when he looked to the table deep in thought. Finally he looked up and nodded, leaning against his chair.
"Fine. Let's hear it"
"Will we have two beds or one bed?". There was a silence. Kai stared at him dumfounded. The look was priceless. He was trying not to laugh, when Kai blinked, shook his head and run a hand through his hair.
"Wow. That was sudden." the guy smirked at him. "Let's have two beds. And I take that as you will still try to bare my intolerable company?". He rolled his eyes.
"Wouldn't you like to be sure. But let's get the room, I wanna have a shower. " Kai looked at him for only a moment then there was a quick flash of smile, and after standing up, Kai leaned to give a kiss to the top of his head before heading to the counter to sign in and get the keys. He looked after the guy, wondering if he had made a right choice. But when Kai turned to him from the counter and signaled him to follow he felt his heart bound with joy. He smiled happily and went to the stairs too. He was sure Kai was not a bad guy. He couldn't be, his presence made him too happy and despite the moments of doubt he didn't want to leave it, leave Kai.
And now he would have a very interesting night ahead. He would see what Kai looked like when sleeping, if he was a calm sleeper or rolled around all night.
"Do you snore?" he asked Kai halfway through the stairs. He could feel the red eyes on his skin, but he kept looking on. The stairs were steep and short, not something you would want to run down. Or fall for that matter. This place held a bit too strongly to old stuff. They could have renovated the stairs to today's safety standards.
"No. I don't. Do you?" he shook his head.
"Nope. And good thing you don't. I want to sleep during the night."
"Likewise" Kai said.
They found their room and opened the door. It wasn't too small place, even if it wasn't that big either. Enough room for to beds, table and a two chairs.
"Comfy" he stated. It looked clean, the wooden beds were actually rather beautiful with their carved head posts.
"Clean. And the beds aren't half bad"
"You come here often?"
"Not really. Just have been here few times. Good place to rest."
He went to one of the beds and sat on it. It did feel nice. He bounced a bit. It wasn't too soft, albeit it wasn't far from it. Satisfied he flopped on to his back and closed his eyes.
"Hey. You were wanting to have a shower. Go now. I ordered some food so we won't starve. I at least don't count sandwich a proper lunch and supper." he stretched and opened his eyes lazily.
"But it's warm and comfy. I could easily just fall asleep here". Kai snorted.
"Nice to know you appreciate it." Kai walked to the bed and hovered over him. He grinned to the guy.
"Like what you see?" a nod. Then Kai leaned down, placing hands next to his head so he could come closer. He felt an electricity run through his body, and as if sensing it, Kai lifted a leg on the bed. Then he very slowly bent lower, until there was just an inch between their faces. His own breathing was fast, even though Kai wasn't touching him, he was practically pinned against the bed. Not that he minded. There was a pleasant and excited feeling in his gut. He glanced downwards, in this pose, he was able to see a bit under Kai's shirt. He saw smooth skin and firm chest. He licked his lips. Oh, it looked nice. Thank god Kai had opened his jacket, otherwise he couldn't see anything. Slowly he pulled his gaze from there and onto Kai's face. The red eyes were burning again with intensity. Like he would be the only thing in the world worth his attention right now. He grinned and looked at the lips. They were just a bit open, and Kai's breath was rather heavy too. He was about to look back into the red pools of flame, when Kai shifted his hands so he was now leaning on his elbows, and then he was being kissed. It was hot. He started burning up, kissing Kai back, biting his lip. Then the tongue came out and he sucked on it, shivering when Kai grunted and a hand started to open his jacket. He moved his hand so he could shove it into the grey blue hairs and grabbed a firm hold of it so Kai couldn't pull away no matter what. He wanted to taste the guy, touch him, feel him all over, so he pushed them to partially sitting position and while keeping their lips together and pressing his tongue into Kai's mouth, with one hand he started to yank Kai's jacket off. Kai's hand on the other hand sneaked under his jacket and shirt as soon as they were freed from the sleeves. It felt so good he released Kai's mouth and gasped a little, and when the hands worked their way up on his body, he used his hold on Kai's hair to turn the head aside and attacked the pale neck there. When he licked and sucked it, Kai's hands clenched around him and pulled him hard against the firm body.
Just when the things were about to take even more interesting turn, there was a loud knock on the door and a voice said
"Sir, your order is ready". They froze for a moment, each coming down from the flow and just breathed there, still holding each others. When the knock repeated, he sighed and pulled away from Kai's neck, and also letting go of his hair. Kai looked just as out of things as he felt. But nevertheless Kai stood up, run a hand through his hair and walked to the door. He sighed in frustration and flopped back down. Damn. He was frustrated that he had been carried away so easily, albeit he was very satisfied to see that the same had happened to Kai. And partly because they had been interrupted. Even though he was also happy about it. He did not want to go that far. Not yet. He pressed his hands against his eyes. Damn. Kai managed to totally mess him up and dared to make it all feel good. He was sometimes brain wrecking to be around, and yet he wanted to use every opportunity he would get to be with the guy.
"Food's ready" Kai said nonchalantly. He removed his hand and blinked a few times looking at the ceiling. Then he sighed and sat up.
"You sure this is not a love motel? Things seem to heat up here rather easily." the red eyes glanced him.
"Hm. Maybe that was what the keeper meant when he said that this room has the highest child rate."
he stared Kai. Who just sat down on the chair and started eating.
"Creepy"
"Am not"
"Not you. I meant the..." Kai cut him off
"Then why won't you come eat with me?" he rolled his eyes and laughed. The tension had ceased and apparently they were going to behave like they wouldn't have just tried to rip all clothing off.
"Fine. Since you enjoy my company so much, I will join you"
"Appreciate it" Kai said with a bow of his head. Okay. Something probably snapped in Kai's head. He was being odd. Anyway he went to the free chair and sat down. And pulling his plate closer, started eating too. When he glanced at Kai, he noticed that the guy looked a bit perplexed. Like he would try to figure out what had just happened. He reached out a hand and wiped a strand of hair behind Kai's ear
"You okay?". The red eyes briefly looked up.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I be? Just hungry."
"Have you been with another guy before?" now Kai straightened his back and looked at him properly.
"Have you?" he nodded. No reason to lie about it. And maybe it would get Kai to answer
"Now your turn"
"Hn. I just didn't expect you to come on so strongly"
"Well. You can stop being so hot and I wouldn't." Kai chuckled.
"I didn't say I minded."
"Good". Then he realized how hungry he really was, and focused on eating. And Kai did the same. Later he had the shower he had wanted earlier and they went to bed. He was a bit bothered that he couldn't brush his teeth, it would feel so dirty in the morning.
"Good night." he said when Kai turned the light off.
"Night" was the reply he got. He watched how Kai walked back to his bed and crawled under the blanket.
"Can't sleep if you keep staring me." crap. He was busted. How did Kai know he was looking? Since he couldn't tell for sure whether or not Kai's eyes were open. He decided not to react, that way Kai might think he hadn't really watched. Kai sighed and turned to the other side, back facing him. That caused him to quietly sigh. He would have wanted so much to see sleeping Kai. When his expression would soften and those red eyes wouldn't steal the show. He could have press Kai's face into his memory, so he could recall it at will anytime he wanted. Currently he sometimes recalled just the burning red eyes. Which he liked looking too, nothing wrong with them... soon his thoughts were just a random pits and pieces, and he fell asleep.
how many did notice that Kai never answered if he has been with someone before? just pointed out in case I do end up using it later on. that depends how Kai's past will really turn out to be. if it even will be reveled.
but pwetty please, how about a review? it really does get me come back to the keyboard quicker.
