-chapter eight-


He was worried about his lover.Tala hadn`t said a word to him all evening,completely ignoring him.He hated to be ignored by the one he loved..It made him feel so little and helpless,especially when that someone was Tala...He had been dependant on the redhaired,young man for so long that he had a hard time cooping without him.

He reached out his hand to brush his fingers against the redhead`s naked shoulder.Tala didn`t move,and Rei was getting more and more confused.What had he done this time to upset his boyfriend?It was alright to get jealous..But Tala could go to the extremes sometimes,and that annoyed him.

«Tal...what have I done?Please talk to me..I get down when you ignore me you know»he begged quietly.

Finally the redhead turned around and lay looking at him with those icy eyes,now cold.He didn`t say anything,and that gaze made Rei scared...it made him believe he really had done something wrong.That was the thing about Tala..he always made you end up being the one to feel guilty in the end when he was at fault.

Rei felt tears gather in his eyes,and he was about to turn away and start crying when Tala reached out his arms and pulled him close to himself.Rei smiled and snuggled close to him,burying his face in his lover`s frame.

«Love you Tal..Thanks for being here for me».

Kai stood patiently waiting for someone to answer the door,tapping his foot against the floor.He was certain that this was the right place...He sure hoped so,that no sour old guy would open up and take him for a salesman only to chase him away.He shuddered.That had happened before once.That had happened back when he tried working as a pizza guy for a while...The women would flirt with him,making their men jealous,resulting in him getting chased away.Sometimes his good looks could be such a pain in the ass,he thought dryly.The door swung open,and he was faced with a smiling Rei Kon.

«Hi!Come inside».

The apartment was really nice,he realised as he took a look at the place.It sure did look like it belonged to someone filtily rich.He didn`t think Rei had a job,so his boyfriend must be the one with the money of the two,he concluded in his mind.

Rei offered him something to drink,and he was given a cold can of soda coming from the fridge.They sat on the couch,and Kai watched the neko jin`s every move.Rei was limping slightly still,a bruise still visible on his cheek.His hair was cut short,but didn`t look as bad now as when he had seen it last time..Apparently he had seen a hairdresser recently,and the way his hair nearly reached his shoulders,framing in his pretty face made him even more attractive in his eyes.Kai resisted the urge to drool badly right then and there.That would make a fool out of him for certain.

«So..where is your guy?»

Rei flashed a smile and shrugged.

«Out on a meeting somewhere..I dunno..He leads a huge company,so he often leaves for meetings and stuff».

That guy..a firm leader?He had never figured that to be the case..After all,the guy couldn`t be that much older than Rei and him..could he?Maybe he had inherited the firm from his parents or something...

«Can I hear you sing Kai?You never sing in Music class...I am curious about your voice.You must be good if Mrs.Pole likes your voice...»

He shrugged and dismissed it with a vague movement of his hand.

«Please?With sugar and cream on top?»

He sighed and raised his hands mid air to shut up his friend,who was now starting to grin insanely.

«What do you want me to sing then..?»

«Dunno...anything would do...»

Kai couldn`t think of many songs at the moment.He had been taught loads of songs back in Russia,his mother had litherally pushed him to learn a lot of different languages..and songs in those languages...

«Um..ok,this is a children`s song....Dont make fun of me,ok?»

Rei nodded eagerly,his eyes shining from excitement.

«Nå bruser bekk,nå glitrer elv,og fossen roper ør
så bjørkene på stranda skjelv,og rister sine slør
det sitt ei fugl i kvart eit tre og syng av hjartets trong
når sola går opp,når sola går ned,er verda full av song»

He stopped singing and looked at Rei,who was practically jawdropped.His mouth was open,his eyes wide as he stared in disbelief.

«Not THAT good?Man,you can so totally sing,Kai!!!That must be the prettiest voice I`ve ever heard!!And the song..Was it Russian?I didn`t understand anything of it..»

He shook his head.»Nope..it was some scandinavic language..I know many different languages,my mother taught me when I was little».

Rei smiled brightly and nudged him in the ribs.Kai was about to poke him in return when he came to think that Rei was not all well,and left it.

«With the two of us that performance won`t be any problem at all!!!»

«Say Rei...I have heard your voice once in Music class...would you mind singing me something still?»

«No probs,pallie!Just gotta think of something first»,he chuckled and looked as if he was thinking hard about something.

Transparency dyes the night sky, and
I walk alone on the road that always leads home.

Singing to myself, I want to send these kinds of feelings
to you in your sleep

I'm tangled up in something; I'm getting a little sick of myself --
tangled up in the feelings to convey to those days that have been left behind...
The heart I've forgotten somewhere is starting to hurt a little.
I keep searching for you in a night lit by the stars that are bound to that time.


«That was just a little part of a song...I kinda like the lyrics you see».

Kai was just about to leave when Rei`s boyfriend returned home that evening.The moment he saw Kai something in him changed,he didn`t act friendly or even polite against the bluehaired young man.

«I`ll see you over the weekend then»

«Yeah..bai bai!»Rei said with a smile as he wawed goodbye at his friend.He sat down by his lover.

«Tal..are you jealous again?There is no reason to..»

The redhead cast him a death glare,a dangerous glint in his eyes,telling Rei what he thought about that case.»What was he doing here?I thought he was only supposed to drop off some stuff».

Rei sighed and slipped his arms around Tala`s waist,frowning at how tense the other was.Sometimes Tala could be too stubborn for his own good.

«Yes,but we had to practice for our performance at the upcoming Summer`s festival»

"Performance?»Tala asked through gritted teeth.

«Yeah..Kai was the only one willing to do a song with me»

Tala clenched his fists in surpessed anger.Suddenly Rei was on his back on the couch,lips pressed to his own,kissing him roughly.



Rei whimpered and tried to push him away,but as he was still weak from the beating he had taken it was totally impossible.So he stopped struggling and lay still,a single tear rolling down his cheek.They broke apart,both panting slighly.

«You are mine Rei..don`t ever try to change that»

«Please Tal...Dont be like this,you know I love you.I would never leave you for Kai!»he stated in a shaky voice as he sat up.A hand made contact with his cheek.

«Dont say that!I know you`ll just fall in love with him and leave me behind....all alone",Tala protested,his pale cheeks flushed by a red haze of anger.Rei raised a hand to touch the red mark,brushing his fingertips over it.

"Tala..please believe me»,he begged quietly,head lowered.Tala stood up and pulled him to his feet,draging him along into the bedroom.Rei felt helpless as he was pinned to the matress,the other tearing off his clothing.Tears gathered in his eyes at the pain that seared through him by every thrust.He tried to shut down his mind,to ignore the feeling.This wasn`t right..no matter how much Tala loved him,he had no right to be doing this.As Tala pulled out of him and lay on his back breathing heavily he started to question what there was for him in this relationship.

Of course he would have a hard time managing financially on his own as he had no job and was a student...he loved Tala,he really did,the redhead was the sweetest guy most of the time.But he so easily got jealous,and that never turned out well on Rei`s behalf.His body was hurting from the harsh treatment and the beating he had taken some while back.

But the worst pain was the one within his heart.He was aching with sorrow and hurt,torn between his love for the redhaired boy and the need to get out of this place.He was too weak to stand up for himself,to raise his voice against Tala or even fight back.Why did he have to be such a coward?This situation was tearing him apart from the inside.

He came to think of Kai.He really wanted to tell his friend of all his troubles..but he could not.If Kai forced him to go see the police to report the abuse,then they would take him away from Tala.He wouldn`t be able to manage without his lover for long.Sleep came over him and demanded to be heard,his eyes clamping shut.
