"I'm gonna make a littl' siesta"

*If there’s one thing people do too much of in the shower, it’s think. And think Kai does. He wonders if Brooklyn is outside, listening to the water and imagining him: stroking himself, watching the precum bead. Over the sound of the water hitting the porcelain Kai really can’t hear much of what’s going on outside; he knows it’s more likely that Brooklyn is just getting the dog and the duck ready, bu it’s fun to imagine something different. He tilts his head forward and braces himself against the wall, letting the water run down over his tense muscles, shampoo running out of his hair and foaming in the tub’s bottom.He looks down at himself, still erect and damn near throbbing; the veins on his cock’s sides are practically rigid and Kai knows that if he waits much longer he’s gonna be hurting. Straightening up, and deciding that his thoughts are just gonna have to do, Kai imagines the fuck from earlier: Brooklyn beneath him. And begins to jack himself off.*

*Brooklyn goes to the bathroom door, and pust his ear, hoping to catch the slightlest moan from the other blader. Part of himself really wants to barge in, and, suddenly, without thinking, he’s in the bathroom. He quickly closes the door *As you said you wouldn’t take long….You won’t mind if I get in here as well, right? *Brooklyn bits his lip, before pulling the shower curtain, hoping to face a startled Kai*…oh my…*Brook’s gaze slides from kai’s drenched upper body, to his aroused manhood*

*Kai’s eyes widen a little as Brooklyn barges in on him: his hand is still wrapped around his cock and he’d just begun to thrust into his fist when he heard the curtain pull back. Brooklyn’s big, blue eyes are taking him in: from wet, hot chest, toned midsection all the way down to his hard cock.* “Jesus. Zeus is that desperate for round two?” *He’s not exactly thrilled that he got caught with his pants down, literally, but… This is shaping up to be a lot like what he imagined.* “Or do you just want me out of your shower?”

Actually….Bit of both *Brook smirks, taking off his clothes to get in the shower as well. He grabs the soap and wash himself for minute, glancing at kai to see if he would keep toucingh himself. His smirk goes bigger as he can’t help daydreaming, remembering about their hot session in the hotel. The headache rushes back, but Brook’s own desires fo the other blader almost overwhelms it.The hot water does no good for the growing heat on his groin* Do you need help with that?

*Kai is forced to make room as Brooklyn steps into the small space with him so he awkwardly moves to the side. Reluctantly, he takes his hand off of his cock and bristles just a bit as his leaking head brushes across Brooklyn’s naked thigh.* “Hn.. You liked it more than you want to let on. But, who’s to blame?” *Kai leans back against the shower wall… Cool on the back, it makes his senses feel alive and he watches Brooklyn as he slowly places his curled fingers back around his length. A challenge, ‘come touch me.’ He needs to get the upper hand on this situation again.* “Is Zeus pissed off that he can’t dominate me in this… Or are you just horny and desperate?” *He smirks.* “For me, of all people.”

*Brooklyn laughs* Hahah, I didn’t say I didn’t like it. It was....nice *Brooklyn shrugs, hoping to shatter Kai’s ego a bit. Brooklyn bit his lip again as Kai switches his position, not even hiding himself anymore. Booklyn turns to face kai, his gaze slowly lowering to Kai’s crotch. Damn it...Kai was playing with his mind. Brooklyn feels the beast reacting to kai’s cockyness, but the redhead smirks* Says the guy who got hard on his own, in his own car *Brooklyn teases, before grabbing kai’s erect shaft, squeezing hard*

*His jaw twitches as he feels Brooklyn’s eyes travel down to where he’s obviously hard in his pants, all over again.* “I’m not a paranoid person.” *He had been hoping he could fool Brooklyn into thinking that Kai wasn’t that attracted to him. Now.. Probably not so much.*

*Brooklyn doesn’t take long to notice the bulge* Seems like I’m not the only one in need of special care *Brooklyn jokes. The soreness all around his body reminds him of kai’s endowment down there, and he feels much hotter* …Would you like to take a shower at my place?

*Kai grits his teeth.* “Get your eyes off me. Means nothing.” *He looks at the hell blader.* “You want me to shower there?”

*Brooklyn chuckles* Well, we left before showering.

“Hn..” *Kai broods silently for a moment or two as he thinks about his options. He’s sweaty, and kinda hard and they’ve got a decent drive back to his place. If he showered at Brookyln’s, at least he could give himself some personal attention in the bathroom to get rid of the problem… Not to mention use the shower as an excuse to investigate the BEGA blader’s place.* “Fine.”

Alright then! *Brooklyn can’t help smirking, imagining Kai releasing himself while Brook isn’t looking. Hopefully the ride isn’t long, and they’re quickly there* You can park your car there…

*Kai parks the car with Brooklyn’s directions; somewhere discreet, where people wouldn’t notice it.* “Which apartment is yours?” *While he hates that he got another erection, he has to deal with it now; Brooklyn can pack up the animals while he grabs a shower.*

*Brooklyn points the third* this one. *they both get out of the car. They take the elevator to the third floor* Here we are *As soon as Brooklyn opens the door, the akita inu runs toward the two men, exited. He barked and whined, joyfully greeting his master. Quacks can be heard in the distance, getting louder, til a grown duck rushes toward the two bladers, as noisy as such a small thing can be. Brook proceeds to pet them, calming them down a bit. The dog goes to sniff Kai, aknowledging his smell, before greeting him as well, requesting petting from him. The duck looks at Kai with confusion* You should go shower before they get too clingy on you *Brooklyn says with a smile*

*As soon as the door opened Kai was prepared to do his thing: take a mental note of basically everything he could see, use it to his advantage and learn as much about Brooklyn and Zeus as he could. But when the dog hits his ankles barking and wagging, he’s forced to look down instead.* “He doesn’t destroy things while you’re gone?” *His fingers twitch as though he were going to reach down and pet the excited hound, but they stay where they are. It takes him a moment to process the fact that he’s actually seeing a duck come waddling toward him, but when it factors in, he very nearly smiles.* “I thought you were joking.”

*Brooklyn’s place is a typical 2LDK japanese appartment : clean, cozy, bright, multi-functional kitchen with microwave and fridge, shower room,  washlet separate, balcony, almost no ornament, bedding for the pets….Nothing fancy, just like Brooklyn*  He used to, when he was a puppy, but now he’s calmed down. *The duck quacks, and Brooklyn laughs* You see I wasn’t! *Brooklyn goes to clean the mess the pets may have done while h was away* The bathroon’s here by the way *he said, pointing to a particular door*

*Kai shakes his head, the amusement at seeing an excited duck and dog at his feet almost enough to make him forget the hard-on; almost. He twinges painfully in his pants and he looks in the direction Brooklyn points to see the bathroom door.* “I won’t be long. Make sure they’re ready and that they won’t make a mess in my car.” *He walks into the bathroom and closes the door behind him. A shower will feel good… And once he’s out, he can have a better look around this place before heading back with Brooklyn. Kai strips down and starts the hot water, stepping in and pulling the curtain. He looks at the array of products Brooklyn has, chooses the first bottle marked ‘shampoo’ and soaps his hair. His cock is hard, long and proud under the hot water and every drop that reaches his head is like a tantalizing tease. Maybe, if Brooklyn wasn’t so sore and not feeling well, Kai would’ve fucked him again.*

*Brooklyn smiles* Roger! *He waits til Kai gets in the bathroom. He wonders, for a minute, if Kai has locked the door. Not that Kai would be shy, but Brook wonders if he’d be embarassed if Brook barged in while he was showering...Brook smirks at the icea, but prepares the pets to go out. He put the leash on Mikan, a diaper for Starduck, and went to change clothes. He really wanted a shower, but that would have to wait a little longer*

*His jaw twitches as he feels Brooklyn’s eyes travel down to where he’s obviously hard in his pants, all over again.* “I’m not a paranoid person.” *He had been hoping he could fool Brooklyn into thinking that Kai wasn’t that attracted to him. Now.. Probably not so much.*

*Kai rolls his eyes, tosses Brooklyn’s jacket at him from the doorway.* “As if that’s worked before.” *He heads out of the room, knowing Brooklyn will follow as they ditch the hotel. Same routine as going in: Kai looks side to side, scans the area around them to make sure they’re not spotted.* “Who’s at home with you?”

Almost did once *brook mumbles, before heading towards the exit* Nobody, except my pets.

*Kai studies the taller red-haired man as they walk: takes in the slow movements, the way his eyes just seem to clench every once in awhile and the fact that Brooklyn just suddenly seems so tired.* “Fuck.”

What’s wrong?

“Your head still hurts.”

Yeah, it was predictable….but why is that concerning right now?

“Shouldn’t be alone right now.” *He sighs, looks in the direction of his car.* “Come on.”

What? Wait what? Where are we going? *His eyes widdens a bit as he realises* Wait, are you planning to go to my place? Right now?

“Either that or we pick up your animals.” *He glances at the redhead over his shoulder; almost sounds like Brooklyn doesn’t want anyone near his apartment. Interesting.*

I guess It’s time for Mikan’s walk, but…*Brooklyn feels unsure about telling Kai where he lives. Brook thinks quickly* I like the second option better. But you will not park your car in front of my place.

“What is it you’re so desperate to keep me from seeing?” *He cocks an eyebrow as they walk back to his car at the mouth of the park.*

Piles of your fangirls and fanboys ‘ dead bodies *Brooklyn has a nervous laugh* Kidding. I just don’t want any of your stalkers to know where I live. I will pick my pets, and you will stay in your car.

*Kai scoffs.* “As if I would be upset by that.” *He watches the redhead nervously get into the passengers’ side of the car.* “But you are hiding something.” *Kai gets in as well and in this small, confined space Kai can smell his sweat and Brooklyn’s own: makes him remember what happened only minutes before, and for a quick moment, he feels a surprising surge of arousal.*

Don’t get paranoid now *Brooklyn says, shaking his head, before giving him directions* ...Are you alright? *Brooklyn can’t help but look down*

*Kai rolls his eyes, tosses Brooklyn’s jacket at him from the doorway.* “As if that’s worked before.” *He heads out of the room, knowing Brooklyn will follow as they ditch the hotel.

*Kai had been about to pull out when Brooklyn’s arm effectively takes him off-guard; he falls backward, barely catching himself on one leg and an old dresser in the corner before he falls face-first.* “Motherfucker-!” *He growls as he rights himself, crimson eyes moving over the back of the redhead as he stands up. His eyes particularly cling, for a moment, to the shine of his cum and a small bead of blood that’s escaped Brooklyn’s body.* “Probably. But I didn’t. You better be clean.” *His words are clipped; the darkness in the room is advancing, and it feels like Brooklyn is slipping away.*

*Brooklyn stays still, his tone harsh* I ain’t a whore. I’m clean. Ain’t sure about you….*Brook goes to grab some tissue to clean himself, suddenly feeling his limbs getting number and number, his arms shaking a little. He winces once more, before punching kai in the face* That…was for unexpectedly making me your bitch *his voice is surprisingly deep, almost growing*

*The punch does just what the kick off the bed had: it takes Kai by total surprise and he nearly spins, struggling once more to catch himself. Jesus, he’s not sure what’s gotten into all of his ‘friends’ but they sure do love punching him lately. He rights himself, wipes at his mouth to make sure he’s not bleeding, and eyes Brooklyn warily.* “I’m growing less and less tolerant of your little freak-outs. Grow up. Tell your overgrown gargoyle that his time to shine has passed.” *He plucks his boxers off the floor and begins to get dressed. He can feel the darkness closer, and closer: but Dranzer is there too. And, if there’s anything his life has taught him… It’s that fear is useless. Zeus won’t be getting what he’s looking for tonight.*

*Kai’s cocky tone had Brooklyn on edge, and he immediately grabs Kai’s arm* Where do you think you’re going?

“Home, where the hell do you think?” *He shoves off Brooklyn’s arm and pulls up his jeans, buckling his belt.* “Get dressed.”

Hold on *Brook goes to check on kai’s face where he punched him* I just…Whatever *Brook shakes his head, and goes to put on his clothes*

*The sudden change in Brooklyn’s tone makes Kai pause, hands balling his shirt.* “What..?” *He moves his face backward out of Brooklyn’s reach.* “I thought you were losing it.” *Zeus seemed like he was going to go for a round two for a second there… And already, the grim mood of the room is receding. Did Brooklyn just regain control that fast…? He’s already racking his brain trying to figure out why.*

I…I thought I was too, but, even tho my head hurts, I feel like I can handle it better than before….

“Hm… Your bitbeast sounded angry.” *More like ‘snap Kai’s neck’ angry.* “And now he’s just… Faded away?”

It did, well….The pain fueled his anger, but I’m keeping it under, for now. My head’s a mess, but I won’t try to k-….*brook shakes his head, putting on his shirt and pants*

“Won’t try to what?” *He pulls his shirt on over his head.* “Kill me?”

Yes, kill you *Brooklyn said, finishing dressing himself*
