It's raining outside. Kai and I haven't been out of my room all day. I lay halfway over the side of the top of my bunk bed and watch him. He traces his fingers over leafmon's head and watches as it falls to sleep beside him. He's being gentle now. He must be very relaxed and content if he's being that nice. And if not, then maybe he's bored.

Come to think of it, so am I. "Kai," I say quietly, "Do you wanna do something today?"

He rolls over slowly and looks at me with those dark, piercing eyes of his. I'm sure no one has eyes like Kai. They're beautiful.

"Stop it," he growls and bats my face away pathetically, only reaching air. Kai must've known what I was thinking - he truly does sometimes. Either that or he just doesn't like the way I'm looking at him. I can tell it makes him nervous.

Its been awhile now, but he still gets uncomfortable and grumpy whenever it seems like someone cares for him. Luckily not so much with me anymore.

He makes me feel special sometimes. Mama cares for him, but he'll never hug her. He treats her with disrespect, ranging from mild to disturbing and scary, same as he does my papa, but neither mind. They put up with him and love him unconditionally along with me.

I don't think Kai's ever hugged anyone before. That's sad to me, but sometimes I think he likes it that way. Other times, on the rarest ocasions, he'll let out his emotions abit, the ones I've grown to crave and yearn for, and he'll look as though he needs more than a hug. But with those times he turns extra nasty, so I can't get near him.

"What did you have in mind?" I hear a meak voice say from under me. I guess he's realized his boredom now, too.

"Well, I dunno." Honestly I hadn't thought that far ahead. "We could go do something outside," I offer.

He laughs and sits up to look at me. "I know you don't like the rain, Ken," he says still amused. Kai must think my wanting to do something with him today is funny - because it still makes him nervous. It probably always will, no matter how close we get.

"Well it's not raining that hard anymore," I say deffensively. It's not that I hate the rain, I just don't like walking around in it because I usually end up with a cold. Kai, on the other hand, loves the rain. He says this is because when its raining its gloomy, clean, and refreshing all at the same time. Its a depressing weather, yet whenever it comes is when he is most happy.

Thats why I suggested we go outside.

"Fine, Ken," he says sighing and gets up out of his bed, careful not to disturb leafmon, "but if you get a cold don't complain to *me*."

I simle happily and jump down from the bed. I grab our jackets, seeing as how he wouldn't take his own even if his life depended on it, and turn off the light.

No one's home right now. Both mama and papa had gone out - I think to escape the boredom of Kai and his harsh words. They said they'd be back real late too. God only knows where they went.

Before Kai steps out of the door I say, "Kai," in a commanding tone and he stops instantly, turning around to look at me with a small glitter in his eyes. I think he liked that tone. "Put this on." I command again, hoping he'd do as I said for once. I'd never spoken to him like that before - maybe this would work.

He grins defiantly and steps out of our appartment.

I follow, being sure to close and lock our door, then I hold out the jacket at him. "Put it on." I command again and glare at him abit. Maybe *that* would do it.

It does. He grins and takes the jacket, and then we start walking down the hall to the elevator.


After walking along the sidewalks for ten minutes we make our way over to the park - both of us knowing that is where the other would like to go.

There are small, thin roads of pavement travelling all throughout the park, and it's pretty big so we start following those. Walking slowly and getting soaked.

He smiles afew times, looking over at me to see slight unhappiness on my face because I'm drenched and cold.

"Remember, Ken, no complaining when we get home," he purrs and laughs quietly.

"Just be thankful I made you take that jacket," I grumble and wrap my arms around myself for warmth.

"I am." Kai grins and moves over, closer to me, wrapping his arms around my body and pulling me into a warm embrace as we walk.

I tense up immediatly, and Kai can tell. He's never hugged anyone before, I can't belive he's doing it to me now with such care. I always thought *I'd* be the first to go that far. But the thing is, I take this seriously and think about it, whereas he just does it and it doesn't have to mean anything for him.

I thank the rain for making him act so gentle today, but curse it for the cold I'll end up with later.

As I slowly start to relax we regain our walking pace and continue down the paved paths.

"Hey, Ken," Kai says, stopping us and motioning over to a large tree about a soccer field away from us, "Isn't that Daisuke?" he asks.

I look over and nod. It's Daisuke and Taichi, making out -among other things - under a tree on the dry grass. I had found out about a week ago from Daisuke that he and Tai had started going out.

It down right shocked me at first. I never thought he had a thing for Taichi, and I had figured Taichi was with Yamato. But I was happy for him.

We hadn't spoken much after that. He was always busy with his new boyfriend, which meant that I had more free time on my hands. So over the week, Kai and I had gotten closer than we had in the previous month.

"Who's he with?" Kai asks quietly and rests his head against mine.

"Taichi," I mummble and look away. I almost wish Taichi *was* with Matt, then I'd still have Daisuke. Was our friendship so cheap that their new relationship would destroy it? Maybe it was.

Kai tightens his embrace and brushes my wet hair away from my face. "Let's go home," he says softly into my ear and we start walking back.

I feel slightly ashamed and embarrassed now because I know he knew what I was thinking. Sometimes that connection between us can be a bad thing. I never know when he'll be able to sense my thoughts and neither does he.
