Chapter 6: Surprises and complications

Bryan just stared in shock, and maybe with just a hint of dissapointment. He mummbled somewhat \" You weren\'t supposed to be he---\" but his sullen words were cut off as the raven haired boy leaned over his shoulder affectionatly to see who was at the door. Both blushed immensly and Rei was off Bryan like he was a disease. A sly smirk formed on the three visitors faces. Rei stammered somewhat and bowed in greeting \" T-Tala..Ian..Spencer, what a splendid surprise..t-to see you here, er I mean..so soon. \" Tala\'s silky voice sounded highly amused \" I hope we weren\'t...interupting anything. \" Rei was about to answer when Bryan cut in coldly \" I don\'t know what you\'re talking about ~Tala~ just get in, it\'s fucking cold. \" Tala stepped in, Ian and Spencer giggling. Spencer pinched Bryans cheeks some with a grin \" Aw, we missed you too Bry. \" Ian grinned big \" Yeah Bry..show more compassion for your team.. unless all your compassion is for your little kitt-- \" Ian\'s words were cut off by Bryans hand. Bryan scowled and Ian gulped some and smiled sheepishly. \" Happy Birthday Rei! \" Tala smiled cheerfully pulling Rei into a hug, smirking inwardly, knowing how much this was killing Bryan, so he topped it off with a kiss to the cheek. Spencer sniffed the air some \" Ah good, it smells like breakfast has just been served. \" Ian and Spencer rushed off into the kitchen. Rei stood there speachless then he blushed somewhat and went to follow Ian and Spencer, feeling the tension between both Tala and Bryan.


As Rei left Tala ran a finger down Bryans cheek, feeling how warm it was. His grin growing as Bryan backed away. \" Aw come on Bry..I was just having fun..\" Bryan looked away and spoke bitterly \" You only live to make me angry. \" Tala sneered somewhat and pushed Bryan against a nearby wall, they were eye to eye and neither wavered \" Look! You may find it easy enough to forget what we once had! But I can\'t! Fuck Bryan! What does he have that I don\'t! ? \" Bryan stared him straight in the eye \" Compassion.\" Tala\'s eyes blazed and he hissed. \" I have compassion Bryan! I have feelings! Unlike you! Do you know how hard this is on me? \" Bryan almost gave a sympathetic look, gently touching Tala\'s face. \" As hard as it is on me, Tala. \" He sounded sincere enough. Tala\'s eyes wavered as he leaned in to kiss Bryan, but Bryan lookway way closing his eyes somewhat painfully. \" I loved you once Tala, but that was a long time ago..When I had feelings.. I just don\'t have that anymore. As much as I want us..to be happy again we can\'t. I\'m not yours anymore Tala. \" Tala stepped back some looking away \" You claimed him didn\'t you..\" Bryan nodded and placed a hand on Tala\'s shoulder somewhat comfortingly \" I\'m s..so..\" He winced somewhat, he didn\'t realize how hard those words were to say, it was making him ill. \" I\'m sorry..\" He bit his bottom lip some. Tala just sighed and shrugged \" Whatever.. But you do know, he can\'t stay forever. He\'s leaving in a week or so, and the last thing I want is you to be hurt Bryan. But when he\'s gone.. i\'ll still be here..always. \" He then turned and walked into the kitchen, putting on his false smile to great the Chinese boy. Leaving Bryan alone, head bowed, to think of what Tala just said.

\" Wow! Ian! Thanks! \" Rei\'s face lit up as he looked at the beautifully crafted tiger charm necklace. The chain frail and made of gold. The tiger\'s eyes were made out of emeralds. Rei put it on right away, beaming. Ian blushed in embarassment from being praised, he laughed lightly \" Aw, it was nothin\' \" Bryan came in by now, and he was sitting far, lurking. And very quiet. Tala noted this and he gave a small sympathetic look, he knew his words hurt Bryan deeply, but the other was too proud to admit it. Rei was now un-wrapping Spencers gift, it appeared to be a deep forest green hand knitted sweater, his name on the chest. \" So no one would dare to take it off of you \" Spencer explained. Very soon Rei had the sweater on, it fit loosely, but it was so warm! He snuggled in it and let out a small purr. Now for Tala\'s present. Rei handled it with care, because Tala told him it was very fragile. Rei took out three glass vials, each filled with something or other. \" It may not seem much..\" Tala explained \" But these cost a pretty penny, each made with the purest of substances, and rarest. One is a rich oil used to calm one soul, grapes the main ingrediant. The second is a bubble bath liquid, the aroma is cinnamon to relieve yourself of any stress. Thirdly..\" He smiled somewsecrsecretly. \" Is a special oil. You rub it on pressure points of the body, and as soon as it touches your flesh it begins to get warm, and once ones breath touches, it goes real hot..Very sensual. \" He laughed at Rei\'s expression \" It smells of vanilla too. \" Rei smiled, blushing a deep scarlet \" Thank you Tala..\" He realized there was another gift too, in the bag Tala gave him. He blinked and pulled out a plush of a tiger, resembling Driger very much. Rei smiled fondly. This was turning out to be a great Birthday!

Thunk! And small curses were heard. Light laughter filling the air around him, except from one. Bryan helped Rei up, and raised a brow \" I thought you had tiger\'s grace? Aren\'t you supposed to be good at balancing? \" Rei grummbled some as his legs began to shake, skates almost taking a mind of their own. He made a yelp and clung to Bryan somewhat. Ian and Spencer fell into hysterics again, Tala giggling somewhat. \" Hmph! Balance works best...when the ground isn\'t slipperyEEE!! \" He fell back on his butt again, a ghost of a smile on Bryans lips as he watched his helpless kitten. Rei heard the three other Demolition boys burst into laughter again. Holding the sides of the skating rink to keep their balance. Tala wiped tears from his eyes, shoulders shaking from amusement. He then signaled to Ian and Spencer \" Come come, let him alone. I doubt we\'re helping with his confidence. Come, let Bryan teach him, how about a race around the rink a few times? \" Spencer nodded quietly and Ian grinned \" Oh! And then a snowball war!!\" Tala chuckled and nodded. And off the three went.


Bryan looked down at Rei and held out his hands. Rei took them, and the paler boy pulled Rei up. Chests almost touching. \" Now..concentrate..I\'ll skate backwards, guiding you. \" Rei tightened his grip on Bryan\'s hands \"..You..won\'t let go..? \" Bryan blinked in surprise, then shook his head. \" No...I won\'t ever let go. \" Rei smiled and leaned foreward, their lips touching breifly before Bryan started the skating lesson. The both not realizing that burning sapphire eyes watched the whole thing as he whizzed by. Rei was cautiosly inching foreward, his hands in Bryan\'s. He stumbled foreward some, but Bryan was always their to catch him. \"Just put one foot infront of the other..yes that\'s it. \" Soon Rei was gliding rather smoothly. He felt Bryan\'s hands move away, he looked up in panic but Bryan just shook his head and motioned at him \" You\'re doing fine without me. \" Rei blinked in surprise and he was! He was skating! His confidence grew and he skatd much better, turning about, going backwards. Our little kitten was a very quick learner. His eyes sparkled with joy as he turned to Bryan, thepiespiest of smiles on his face. Bryan blinked some. Rei skated towards him and flung his arms around Bryan\'s neck. Embracing him with a burning warmth that only love could stand. \" Thank you Bryan..This is the best Birthday i\'ve ever had..\" Bryan wrapped his arms around Rei, holding him with equal warmth. And he smiled, a true smile. Rei didn\'t see, because his head layed on Bry\'s shoulder. Bryan smiled into Rei\'s hair, breathing softly \" Your welcome. \" And their they stood, center of the rink, embracing each other with the warmth of love..While sapphire watched and burned with jealousy.
