Chapter 06

�� Are they kissing?� Can anyone see?�� Max asked in an exaggerated whisper to the
others.

�� Shh�� Rei
hushed him.

�� I can�t�I don�t think they�re
kissing yet.�� Bryan tried peering around his boyfriend�s
leg, since he was crouched down beside Tala.�
�It looks like Kai�s saying something, I think.�

�� He had said something about a
confession, but now we�re too far back to hear more.� Besides which,� Tala gave them all an icy
glare.� �You all are so noisy I couldn�t hear a scream!�
So shut up!�

�� Daichi gave the group of teens an
annoyed, angry glare, then moved closer to Tyson and Kai so he could hear better.� Kai was
saying something in a low, husky voice.

�� confession to make.�

�� Ah!� Yes!�
Daichi jumped up and down for joy.�
Go for it, Kai!

�� Tyson blinked up at Kai, his pulse
suddenly in his ears.� He bit his lip and
gave a tiny nod to let the older teen know he�d heard and was listening.� A confession?� It can�t be what I �m thinking it could be�no
way.

�� The party tonight�I had an ulterior
motive for having it.�

�� Uh�okay.� Tyson tilted his head curiously.� Go on�

�� Kai sucked in a calming breath
before continuing.� I can�t believe I�m doing this��
He thought with an internal groan.�
�See, sometime ago, I found that I enjoyed having you around, and
talking with you � or not talking, since I don�t normally talk this much�� Kai
paused, catching himself mid-babble.� �Hn.� Anyway, I discovered that I�I like you.� I mean, like
you.� Um�the problem was I couldn�t just�go
up to you and tell you something like that because�because��

�� Tyson swallowed hard past the lump
of emotion in his throat.� He�likes me?�
As in likes me!� Oh�oh!�
And he�s been�afraid?� No, not Kai.� He�s
been apprehensive about telling me �
not that I blame him because I�m no better after all.

�� Well, that doesn�t matter, I suppose,
since I�m telling you know.� Look, Tyson,
I�I just wanted you to know so that�I don�t know�I guess because I want you to
know I care and I will help you however I can until we figure this whole curse
thing out, and�� Kai cut himself off again and studied Tyson�s expression,
searching for clues to his reaction � any at all would be good at this
point.� The bluenette looked dazed,
mildly confused, and�relieved?� �Tyson?�� Kai felt a
small spark of hope, and before he even realized it, he was moving in.

�� Mind whirling, Tyson didn�t know
what hit him when something soft, warm, and damp � and a little chapped �
pressed against his mouth a little hard at first, then more gently.� Wha-oh!� Oh god!�
Kai�s lips!� That�s�he�s�kissing�hmm�� His all to active
brain shut down but for the wonderful wash of sensation pouring through
him.� He instinctively tried to get
closer, to get more of that warmth
and pleasure.� His arms came up to curl
around Kai�s neck and he felt the hands at his waist spasm before sliding to
his lower back and pulling him as close to Kai�s front as possible.

�� Tala blinked, watching, then grinned wolfishly.�
Finally.� Excellent work, Hiwatari.�
Couldn�t have done better myself.�
He glanced down at the object of his affection, Bryan, and the two exchanged a brief grin
before they turned as one to shoo the other two boys back into the house again.

�� Let�s give them some time, shall
we?�� Bryan said, nearly shoving poor Max bodily
away from the doors.

�� Daichi, had
anyone been able to see the little spirit, was jumping up and down wildly,
doing somersaults in mid-air each time before landing.

�� Tyson let out a small moaning gasp
as his body seemed to catch on fire from head-to-toe, and Kai took advantage,
deepening the kiss to the point where he forgot what air was and that they�d
both need it very soon.� He�d wanted
this, just this, for so long now, and here he was.� He was finally kissing Tyson as he�d only
done in dreams � and this was infinitely better than anything his imagination
could come up with.

�� It was several minutes later when he
finally had to back off and slowed the kiss to a stop.� �Tyson�� he murmured against the bluenette�s
kiss-swollen lips, savouring the moment
greedily.� His crimson eyes were closed,
and they were both breathing hard from the intensity of the passionate kiss.

�� But when a breathless, gasped reply
suddenly came from the youth in his arms, Kai�s eyes popped open wide.

�� Kai�� Tyson frantically gasped in
air, hazily wondering if he could convince the older teen to do that again, and
thus was unaware he�d spoken aloud.� �God�Kai��
he pried his eyes open, a lopsided, lazy smile crossing his face.� He�d forgotten about everything but the
moment, and blinked a little in concern at the shock he could see on Kai�s
face.

�� Kai made a strange sound, but could
say or do nothing.� He�d heard Tyson
speak!� And as he watched the bluenette�s
eyes open, he saw the silvery-grey colour disappear,
chased away by that intensely beautiful, stormy sapphire blue that belonged
there.

�� For a minute they just stood there, wrapped
around one another, staring at each other like they�d never seen the other
before.

�� And then, just as
Tyson began to speak�

�� Kai?� What��

�� Tyson!�

�� Kai caught the bluenette and held
him upright when those surreal eyes rolled back in his head and Tyson became a
dead weight, passing out cold for the second time that night.

~*~*~*~

�� In the living area of Kai�s great
room, the four anxious teens sat around in silence, eagerly waiting for their
two friends to come back inside and to find out if the curse was indeed broken.

�� Tala yawned expansively and shifted
restlessly.� He was lying on the sofa,
with his head pillowed by Bryan�s
lap.� The pale, lavender-haired teen was
slouched in his spot, head leaning against the back cushion with his eyes
closed.� One arm was tossed haphazardly
over Tala�s chest, and the redhead was absently running his fingers up and down
the limb as he contemplated the entire wild night.

�� Rei was stretched out like a big cat
on the floor in front of the fireplace, and Max was curled up in one of the
oversized, comfy sofa chairs.� Though Bryan and Tala didn�t
seem worried or concerned about Kai and Tyson, Rei and Max were both still
keyed-up enough that though they were tired, they weren�t showing it outwardly.

�� The balcony door suddenly opened and
was kicked shut as Kai came bursting in with an unconscious Tyson in his arms �
again.� The others were on their feet
instantly and followed the crimson-eyed teen back to his bedroom.

�� Kai!� What happened?!� Is Tyson hurt?!�� Max exclaimed, very worried now, to the point
where tears were welling up in his sea blue-green eyes.

�� He�passed out again.�� Kai nodded at his bed.� �Tala, pull the covers back for me, please.�

�� Obligingly, Tala pulled them covers
away and watched his friend gently place his burden on the mattress, then tuck him in almost�tenderly.� He raised an eyebrow.

�� You think it�s because you broke
the curse?�� He asked, outright grinning
when Kai turned an extreme shade of red and glared.

�� Do you always spy on people?�� Kai grumbled, fighting the blush in
embarrassment at being so transparent emotionally.

�� Please, Kai�� Rei interrupted,
giving Kai a pleading look.� �Tell us what
happened?� I�m very worried about Tyson
and so is Max.�

�� Kai hugged himself, as if he were
suddenly cold, and stared down at Tyson, refusing to meet the others� gazes as
he spoke softly.

�� He was upset when he ran out there,
even though he couldn�t see or speak.� I
went after him to bring him back inside but he didn�t want to go.� So I tried to figure out what was wrong so
that I could make him feel better � enough to come back in.� But�I don�t know.� I ended up hugging him, and then I�� Kai
stopped and cleared his throat.� The
others weren�t going to get the whole of it from him � not even if he
died.� He continued, hurrying to get it
out and over with to end his humiliation.

�� Anyway�he suddenly looked up at me
and said my name quite clearly.� It was
the weirdest thing ever, but I watched the colour
seep back into his eyes just before he�went down like a rock.�

�� Rei�s golden, cat-like eyes widened
and he moved over to the other side of the bed, gently picking up Tyson�s wrist
and taking a moment to check his pulse � which was steady and strong.� Then he leaned over and very gently pried one
eyelid open to see Tyson�s eyes, and a small gasp escaped before he moved away.

�� Well, it�s definitely his eye colour.� My guess is
that his body has undergone such trauma with this whole curse thing that his
mind shut down until it can cope.�� Rei
shook his head.� �Amazing.� I think he�s going to be fine.� He�ll wake up after a while, I imagine, but I
wonder if he�ll remember any of this?�

�� No one had an answer for that, least
of all Kai.� In a way he was seriously
hoping Tyson didn�t remember.� This had not
been how he�d wanted to tell the younger teen how he felt nor was it how he�d
wanted their first kiss � and his first ever
(and Tyson�s, too, for all he knew) � to come about.� And yet, because he couldn�t change events, he
did want Tyson to remember this.

�� Max moved over to the bed and sat on
the edge, taking his friend�s hand in his own and patting it lightly.� �I�m staying here with him until he wakes up.�� The blonde declared in a hushed voice.� He looked up at the others.� �You should all go to sleep, at least for a
while.� If he wakes up, I�ll come and get
you.�

�� But what about
you Max?�� Rei frowned.� �Aren�t you tired?�

�� A little, but I won�t sleep until
he wakes up and I hear for myself that he�s okay from him.�� Max gave the tall teen a shadow of his usual
bright smile.� �I�ll be alright,
Rei.� I promise I�m fine.�

�� Okay, then we�ll move out to the
other room so we don�t disturb him.� He
probably needs the rest much more than we do.��
Tala ushered Kai, Rei, and Bryan from the room.� �Come on, guys.� Bed time!�

�� Max turned back to Tyson as the door
closed and let out a deep sigh.� �I don�t
know why this had to happen to you, pal, but get lots of rest.� I�ll be here when you wake up, I promise.�

~*~*~*~

�� Daichi, watching Kai distribute warm
blankets to his guests in the great room, heaved a sigh of relief.� Thank
the gods that�s over with.� At least I got to see the end before I have
to go.� He glanced at the clock on
the mantle with a pout.� Damned All Saints� Day.� Now I have to remain in the spirit world for
the next twenty-four hours, starting at dawn.�
I�m not going to know what happens for a whole day!� Not fair!�
It was just after four in the morning now, and already the little ghost
could feel what energy he had left draining away, his �body� being pulled back
into the realm of spirits.

�� Kai did make an honest attempt to
fall asleep, but he just couldn�t manage it.�
His mind was still whirling on over load, and his nerves were frazzled.

�� I�I
can�t stand this.� This uncertainty and
the thought of his rejection now that he�s back to normal is�� Kai shivered and sat up abruptly.� I can�t
stay here.� I have to�I need some time.� He got to his feet as quietly as he could and
stealthily � but quickly � moved toward the small closet near the doors that
lead down to the rest of the house.� He
fished out a jacket and a pair of shoes, putting both on, then grabbed his
scarf and headed for the balcony doors.

�� Bryan and Tala, both light
sleepers, heard his moving around anyway and watched him tip-toe out the doors
and very quietly close them.

�� Where�s he going?�� Bryan
wondered groggily.� Tala shook his head
and was moving before he even realized it, putting on his own shoes and
preparing to follow Kai.

�� I don�t know, but I�ll find
out.� Go back to sleep, Bry.�� The redhead
waved and slipped out.� Bryan grunted and rolled over, dropping back
off to sleep without much trouble.

�� Tala managed to catch up with Kai
just as he was about to step out of the gates of the Hiwatari front yard and
onto the sidewalk.� �Kai!� Wait, Hiwatari!�

�� Tala�� Kai heaved a resigned
sigh.� �Why are you out here?� Go back inside before you freeze to death,
dumb ass.�� He closed the gate and turned
around.

�� I�m fine.� This is nothing.�� Tala shrugged that aside, ignoring the fact
that it was a tad nippy at 5:30 in
the morning in�well, November, now.� �Take
your own advice, hot shot, and answer me your own question right back at you.�

�� Kai closed his eyes and sagged,
propping himself up against the tall brick and stone
wall that fenced in his family�s property.�
�I can�t�I had to get out of there and think.� And�it�s better I�m
not there when he wakes up and�remembers.�

�� Tala frowned, folding his arms to
try and hold in some body heat � under the pretense of looking stern and
unimpressed.� �You�re not seriously running away.�� He stated flatly.� When Kai didn�t answer, didn�t even look at
him, he scowled.� �You are!�
I can�t believe it!�

�� Shut up, Tala!� You don�t understand at all!�� Kai shot back, eyes blazing with
emotion.� �One of the most important
events in my life just happened tonight but so
not how I�d wanted or thought it would, and I don�t even know if he returns any sort of my feelings!� I�ve had a very shitty night, and I need a
break, so don�t take that superior tone with me!�

�� Tala listened with a neutral sort of
calm as Kai wound down, then watched as he suddenly shuddered mightily and slid
down the wall to the ground, legs pulled to his chest and face burying itself
between his knees with a heart-wrenching sob.�
It was the only further sound he made,
remaining huddled into himself like that and visibly trembling under the weight
of stress and pent-up emotion.

�� The redhead joined him without a
word, gingerly sitting on the grass beside his oldest friend and patiently
waiting for Kai to pull himself together.

�� It took a bit longer than he�d
expected, but Kai finally did raise his head and uncurl his form stiffly �
though he didn�t get up yet.� Dawn was
slowly breaking, softly lighting up the world with its warmth.

�� Exhausted in every possible way, Kai
murmured, �Sorry.� without even looking at Tala.� He stared up at his house, wondering if Tyson
had woken yet.

�� Don�t be.� You needed an outlet, Kai.� You always did keep things bottled up for too
long until the explosion came and took out innocent civilians.�� Tala rolled his head to the side to look at
Kai sideways.� �Feel better, kid?�

�� Kai grimaced.� �You�re only a few months older than me.� Do not call me �kid.�� He sighed and shook his head.� �And no, not really.�

�� The ice-blue eyed teen nodded in
understanding.� �So Tyson�s your first,
huh?� First�everything?�

�� Kai frowned and blushed.� �Yes.�
Lay off, would you?�

�� Nope.� Never happen.�
It�s my job and vast pleasure to tease and torment my friends when they
have crushes and stuff.�

�� You are such a pain in the ass, Tal.�

�� I know!�� Tala�s wolfish grin and complete lack of
modesty managed to tug a small chuckle out of Kai.� Having accomplished that much, and feeling
much better about it, Tala became serious.�
�I�m sorry the moment was�not how you wanted it, Kai.� Did he give any sort of indication that he
likes you back?�

�� I don�t know.� I mean, sure he kissed me back and all, but�it
could have just been the moment, you know?��
Kai tunneled his fingers through his hair wearily in frustrated
uncertainty.� �We�were both caught up in
things.� If he wakes up and remembers�what
if he hates me after this?� I�I�m not
sure I can ever show my face around him again with that possibility.�

�� And if he doesn�t remember?�

�� Kai closed his eyes.� �In some ways, that�s worse because it would
be just that much more uncertain about�everything!� And at the same time, if none of us ever
tells him what happened, then I can at least pretend and�maybe someday have a second chance at my first, again.�

�� Tala looked up at the house,
too.� �So what are you going to do in the
meantime?� Until you do
know whether he remembers or not?�

�� I need time.� We need time.�� Kai looked down at the grass he sat on.� He hated himself for it, and despised the
cowardliness in him itself.� �I can�t go
back in there right now.�

�� Tala sighed, sitting up
straighter.� �You will have to deal with it eventually.� But�� he held up a hand as Kai opened his
mouth to retort.� �But, I get it, and you
can go bunk at my place until I get home.�
I�ll play host for you and get the others out of here first, then at
least you can brood in your own home.��
He rolled to his feet and waited until Kai did the same.� �I�ll come with you and let you in.� Don�t worry about the parents.�� Tala made a face.� �They aren�t home and won�t be until Monday.�

�� Kai nodded, his expression turning
relieved and vaguely grateful.� �Thanks,
Tala.� I owe you one.�

�� You bet you do.� But I�m not worried.� I know you�ll make it up to me.�� Tala smirked in agreement, opening the gate
and waving Kai through with a sweeping arm gesture.

�� Kai rolled his eyes and passed by, a
small smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

~*~*~*~

�� The soft �click� of a door somewhere
broke through the pleasant, warm, hazy, dream-like sleep Tyson was floating
in.� Feeling quite groggy � yet feeling
like he�d slept for years � Tyson pried open his eyes and blinked.� His eyes felt gritty and heavy, and he raised
a hand to his face to try and wipe the sensations away.

�� When he could see properly, he
lifted himself up onto his elbows and looked around in confusion.� Where�oh.� Kai�s room.�
Frowning when he didn�t see anyone else in the room, he sat up and ran
his fingers through his hair.� I remember the party, and then after, Bryan was going to get
his horror movies, and then�� His
eyes went very wide as memory trickled back.�
Ohhh�shit.�
Oh my god!� He remembered
everything!� But�he could see again,
perfectly.

�� Tyson cleared his throat and tried
speaking.� �H-hello?�� He smiled a little in relief.� Well,
that�s a load off.� Except...� Tyson groaned and drew his knees up to his
chest, hugging them.� He also remembered how he�d been cured � every wonderful,
dizzying, blissful moment.� Kai�

�� Had he really shared such an amazing kiss with the older teen?� Had Kai really
said those words, confessed emotions that Tyson never honestly dared to hope
for from him?

�� Lost in memory and thought, he didn�t
hear the bedroom door open, admitting his concerned, blonde
friend.

�� Tyson!� You�re awake!�� Max exclaimed, zipping over to the bed in a
few short steps.� �How do you feel?�

�� The bluenette looked up at him and
managed to dredge up a reassuring smile.�
�Hi, Max.� I�m fine.�

�� Ah!�
You spoke!� Thank god.�� Max sat on the bed next to him and looked him
over carefully.� �So everything�s back to
the way it should be for you then?�

�� Yeah.� Seems like it, at least.�� Tyson sighed.�
�That was the weirdest, freakiest thing that�s ever happened to me.�

�� No kidding!� We were all freaked and worried about you,
pal.� Especially Kai, I think.�� Max admitted reluctantly.� �He took good care of you while you were�uh�incapacitated.�

�� Tyson blushed and glanced away.� �Yeah.� Is everyone else up already?� What time is it?�

�� Max glanced at Kai�s alarm
clock.� �Nearly ten in
the morning.� Yeah, the rest of
the group has been up for about an hour now.�
Well, Bryan, Rei, and I at least.�
Kai and Tala apparently were up much earlier and slipped out to go to
the store to get something to make for breakfast.�

�� Speaking of�is Kai busy?� I mean, I�we should probably talk�about�things.�� Tyson fought a deeper blush and lost, wishing
he could just crawl into a hole somewhere.

�� Max grinned and nudged him with an
elbow.� �Spill it, Tyson!� Just between you and me��

�� The bluenette gave him a scowl.� �What are you?� A girl?� Go away, Max.�

�� Okay, okay.� I�m sorry.�
I just had to tease a little.��
Max smiled sympathetically and patted Tyson on the knee in apology.� �So you really do like him, huh?� Why didn�t you just tell us instead of
denying it?�

�� Tyson fiddled with the sheets
uncomfortably.� �I don�t know.� I guess�I didn�t know how you and Kenny would
react.� Or anyone else, really.�

�� Max sighed.� �Yeah, well, I guess that�s to be
expected.� There are a lot of ignorant,
intolerant people in the world.� But
Tyson, you know Kenny and I � and Rei and Mariah, too � don�t care about that!� I mean, we put up with Tala and Bryan � they have other
peculiarities we can be annoyed with instead of their sexuality.�

�� Tyson snickered.� It was true.�
Those two were definitely�different.

�� Yeah.� I know.�
I�m sorry,, Maxie.� But�thanks for everything last night.� I really appreciated your efforts to help.�

�� Aww�it
was nothing!�� Max grinned again,
brightening.� �Anything
for a friend!�

�� So�is Kai busy?�� Tyson asked again.

�� Oh!�
I nearly forgot.� Uh�actually, he�s
not here.�� The blonde sighed and Tyson�s
face fell.�� Tala told us his mother
called him on his cell phone when he and Kai were at the store, and she asked
him to run some errands for her and his father.�
Tala said he didn�t know how long it would take and now he�s playing
host in Kai�s stead.�� Max explained, emoting sympathy waves at Tyson�s expressions.� �Don�t worry though.� I�m sure you two will find a way to get
together and talk about it all.�� He
tired to reassure the bluenette.

�� Well, I hope so.� I hope�he doesn�t regret what he � we � did or anything.� I�I at least want to thank him for
everything.�

�� You will!� Hey, are you hungry?� We saved some pancakes for you, if you are.�� Max got to his feet.� �Why don�t you get up and come have some?�� He laughed at Tyson�s dubious
expression.� �Don�t worry.� Rei made them.�

�� Alright.� I�ll be right out.�� Tyson agreed.�
Max nodded and left the room to give Tyson a chance to clean up and come
out on his own to face the others.

~*~*~*~

�� Tyson was pleasantly surprised that Bryan, Tala, and Rei didn�t
comment � much � about the whole incident, nor did they tease him
mercilessly.� He ate his pancakes in
relative peace, and then the group of boys finished cleaning up from the party �
to thank Kai for inviting them to stay over, despite the freaky factor of Tyson�s
curse.� The Hiwatari butler, Gregory, had
appeared and left them with plenty of cleaning supplies and extra garbage bags
when they�d insisted on tidying themselves and not leaving it for Gregory and
Kai to do on their own.

�� When all was gleaming and sparkling
clean, they all trooped out, leaving Kai�s house and going their separate ways.

�� At the gates, however, Tala had
paused and delayed Tyson for just a moment.

�� Here, Kinomiya.�� The redhead scribbled a phone number on a
scrap piece of paper and handed it to the younger teen.� �That�s Kai�s private line to his cell
phone.� Not too many people have that
number, and if he asks where you got it, feel free to blame me.�� Tala grinned.�
�He can yell at me or thank me all he wants later.� Make sure you use it, hear?�

�� Tyson stared at the little slip of
paper then gave Tala a grateful smile � not because of the number, but what the
older teen was telling him.

�� Kai was as confused and unsure as he
was, but there was an interest in Tyson nonetheless.
