The
first night away

-------------------------------------------------------
�Morning
sleepyhead.�

Ray
rubbed the sleep from his eyes, looking around the kitchen and frowning. �What
day is it?�

Kevin
looked up at him. �The day after yesterday. Why?�

Tyson
smacked him over the back of the head. �He knows
that, dickhead. He wants to know if today is the day he left Tala and Kai or
not. But Kev�s right, that was yesterday.�

Ray
had to smile faintly at their antics, taking the plate Kenny handed him before
joining them at the table, looking up toward where Lee was perched on the bench.
�Bryan come?�

�Mm.�
Lee looked toward him. �He told us not to disturb you.�

Ray
nodded, taking a bite out of his breakfast and listening to the conversation
around him. As always of late, Kevin and Tyson were arguing over who would win
the next round of the Grand Prix, Mariah was talking to Lee about her plans for
going shopping that Lee was only half listening too, while Max offered a few
suggestions that she either jumped at or ruled out, and Kenny was lost in his
own world.

Yep.
These were his friends all right.

�Did
you sleep well?� Max asked, looking up.

�Mm-hm.�
Ray smiled faintly. �Best I have for a long time.�

Max
nodded, turning and saying something else to Mariah, leaving Ray to his
thoughts.

So
Bryan had told them not to disturb him. Ray had expected this, but it still tore
at him that Bryan had not asked to see him, just this one last time. Ray knew
that he would not be able to see Bryan until the next all teams meeting, and
that would be a long time coming. He sighed, knowing that the wait would seem
even longer than that.

Ray
was going to miss the elder lavender-haired Russian�s company, going to miss
hearing his voice, miss those cold yet deep eyes. There was something about
Bryan that� intrigued him. Not to
mention Bryan just plain smelt good. And Ray had always felt so safe and secure
curled up against him, feeling those strong arms wrapped around him
protectively�

�Earth
to Ray. Anybody home?�

He
blinked, looking up. �What?�

Tyson
shook his head, pulling a face. �Dude, I�ve only been trying to talk to you
for the past five minutes. Thought you were dead or something.�

�Looked
to me like he was dreaming,� Max agreed.

Kevin
blinked, smirking. �From that look in your eye I would almost say you were in
love.�

It
was Ray�s turn to blink before he glared at them. �Guys, I just got out of a
long and traumatic relationship that I�m not even sure
I�m fully out of yet. There is no way that I could be in love with anyone.�

Tyson
smirked. �Actually-�

�Shut
up, Ty.�

�Woah,
go easy, dude.� Tyson raised his hands in defence. �Don�t shoot. I
surrender.�

�Just
leave him alone, guys.� Lee slitted opened his eyes and looked at them.
�Unless you want to clean the bathroom with a toothbrush again.�

Kevin
glared up at him. �Make us.�

Lee�s
gaze swung toward him, a sparkle in the elder�s eye. �I did last time.�

There
was some grumbling, and it wasn�t long before Tyson, Max and Kevin left the
table, Kenny not long behind them still lost in thought. Ray left Gary, Lee and
Mariah in the kitchen, setting about moving his things up into the bedroom they
had given him that he had known they had set aside back before he had moved in
with Kai, Tala and Bryan.

As
he began setting up his room he had to smile as he realised that Bryan had not
forgot a thing, even packing everything in order. He frowned as he found the
note sitting on top of his shirts and had to laugh as he read it.

�Sorry
if everything is crumpled. Chung Hu decided to help. Damned cat.�

Ray
bit his lip as he pocketed the note. He missed Chung Hu already though more
often than not the kitten would creep from his place at the foot of Ray�s bed
and onto Bryan�s whenever the door was open.

Bryan�

Why?
Why was it that he couldn�t get that sarcastic man out of his head? Why was it
that without the other near things just seemed so �wrong�, and the prospect
of not seeing him for so long�

He
had grown dependent on him, that was it. Over the last few weeks he had begun to
turn to Bryan for help and emotional support, Bryan shielding and protecting Ray
from Tala and Kai. Ray had become so accustomed to it, so dependent on Bryan
being there, that the thought of him not being
there just felt plain wrong.

Well,
Ray thought to himself, setting a picture on the wall. I
guess I�ll just have to get un-used to you. And I swear this: I will
not allow myself to fall in love with you.

-------------------------------------------------------
Silly
man, making promises like that.
