 (This semester had really started tearing on Kai. Emotions were more tiredly than a hundred laps on a boot camp).Lately things had started to tear Kai up. These emotions tired him out more then running a hundred laps on boot camp.  Kai made his way slowly over to Takao’s door. He took a deep breath and knocked softly… no answer…He knocked again but louder… Still no answer… Kai’s heart began to beat… hard.

What if something had happened? What if Takao was hurt? Kai opened the door slightly only to find Takao sleeping on the bed. Still 15 though. He let out the breath he didn’t know he was holding and made his way over to the bed. He walked softly over to the bed, trying to not wake him up. Takao lay on his stomach hugging his pillow tight.

Kai had walked over to the side where Takao’s face was and softly stroke his hair out of his eyes. Streaks on his cheeks told Kai that he had been crying. He once again slapped himself for being cruel to this angel. The angel that had so much love in his heart that it should be a crime to hurt him, which Kai had done. He took up a blanket and spread it over the angel…....his angel. He kissed his forehead gently and went to the door. He looked back one more time and then closed it and went for his own room to sleep. Hopefully

THE NEXT DAY

The next day Kai waked up with a headache… A royal headache… When he got to the kitchen Max and Rei were in the middle of breakfast, but (no Takao) Takao was nowhere to be seen.

-“Where’s Takao?”

-“Kai? Kai….....KAI!!!!”





           




           




Kai snapped out of his daze




          &;


           




-“I said he told us he wasn't hungry and decided to stay in his room.” Rei said




           




           




Kai could see Max glare at him and for the first time he really felt afraid of the blonde. He nodded lightly and couldn’t get down more than a glass of juice. Kai stared longingly at Takao’s door and didn’t notice it but sighed rather miserably, that even Max felt sorry for him.




           




           




-“It’s just to apologise you now” Max said


-“He won't forgive me”


-“Ahh come on Kai… didn’t he forgive the Dark Blader’s and the All Starz… heck he even forgave the Demolition boys and y…”

-“And who?” Kai looked at him


-“He even forgave you Kai… In Russia remember… He has done that many times now, he will do it again. He can’t stay angry at someone for more than a day.”


-“Yes… but this is worse. And will it always be like this? Me being an asshole and he foing ing me? I want to make him happy, not hurt him all the time.”


-“We know Kai… but you must also know it’s not your fault all the time either. Sometimes it’s your pride that sticks up its ugly head and sometimes it’s Takao’s big mouth. And I can only imagine how hard it is to be allowed to feel things all of a sudden after all those years telling you they were wrong.” The always wise Rei said. Kai nodded weakly at this. Max looked at him and smiled.




-“What do you feel for
Takao?”





-“I… I don’t know for sure.”



-“Hmm… does he make you feel warm and safe?”


-“Yes”


-“Are you feeling warm and cosy when he touches you or smiles at you?”


-“Yes”


-“Are you proud of him when he goes into matches… not always winning but doing his best?”


-“Yes!”




           




           




At every yes Kai’s thoughts had tightened up and he had sounded almost raspy when he spoke out the word. Max and Rei smiled at each other and than at Kai.




           




           




-“Love” they said in unison…



-“Or what do you say… Takao?”





           




           




Rei had said that last sentence not looking at Kai but the last and was now smiling softly at something behind Kai. Kai swallowed and took a deep breath before turning around, only to see… Takao… He just stood there staring at Kai with no emotion in his eyes. Rei and Max left the table in some excuses about leaving the lovebirds at themselves. Kai felt like he wanted to shout at them to come back. He actually felt scared of being left alone with his angel, but at the same time relieved. Was this… love?




           




           




-“Is it true what they say..? ou….ou….....do you really lo......…love me?”




&n&nbs          




           




Kai could see and hear that Takao had some difficulties with getting the question out of his mouth… over those rosy l And And in that moment he realised...it really was love.




           




           




-“Yes”





           




           




Kai closed his eyes and waited for the eruption that would clarify that he wasn't worthy of Takao’s love. That he could get out and never look back, but instead he felt something soft and moist on his lips. He smelled Takao’s hair and felt his hot breath against his lips. Kai slowly opened his eyes and stared into Takao’s deep blue orbs.




           




           




-“That’s good because I love you too”
