Chapter 5: Of presents, cake and surprises.



Streeeeeetch, wince and yawn. It was now morning, and our cute widdle neko-jin ( X3 Sooooorrryyy I had to put that. ) was just waking up, and feeling the after effects of last nights...activity. He went to cuddle into his bed partner and just..laze. But, poof! No one was there, and he teetered somewhat and fell out of bed. \" Ngh..\" A piece of paper fluttered from the bed and landed on his toe. \" What\'s this ? \" Neat, tidy writing was on the piece of paper, it read \' Rei; I didn\'t want to wake you. I went to shovel the snow and get breakfast ready. There’s a bathroom next to my room, you can shower there. My present for you is in the bathroom, Happy Birthday. Come down into the kitchen when you\'re done, I should be back and ready by then. -Bryan. \' Rei blinked some, his birthday? Oh! How could he forget? He suddenly felt excited and he pulled on his pants and went into the bathroom. He was still sticky and such from last night, so a shower was a good idea.

He looked about curiously and found a box with a neatly made bow, the box was a light lavender and the ribbon a deep purple. Rei carefully undid it, then opened the box. After removing a sheet or two of tissue paper Rei found another piece of paper resting on top of more tissue. He would have went right for the contents of the box, but it was always polite to read the note first. Even if Bryan wasn\'t there to observe. This note read \' Dear Rei, I was at a loss.. I hadn\'t the faintest clue of what to get you, I\'ve only known you for a short time and didn\'t know much about you. I was reminded of our match, and how I devastated your daily attire. I hope this makes up for it. Sincerely, Bryan. \' Rei could feel his heart beating rapidly in excitement. He pulled the tissue paper away and to his great delight a new outfit was laying for him in the box. A pair of fingerless gloves, a yin-yang symbol on each. He placed them aside. A new headband, not as wide, and it was softer, it must have been made of satin, or of silk. Next was the long shirt.. thing, no sleeves, hurrah. That too was newer and much better looking, and of nicer quality. And instead of the red bulky not-that-attractive belt , there was a silky long red sash. Rei smiled broadly pulling out the new pair of pants that looked so much more comfy than the ones he wore at this moment. Even a new hair wrap! He was simply beaming with happiness! \" Oh! I can\'t wait to shower and wear this.. And of course thank Bryan! \"

After pondering over the taps he tampered with them until he got a warm, steady shower going. He stepped in and let the water run down his body. He smiled closing his eyes, letting the water carry away all the unwanted vibes and dirt. After lathering his long hair he began to contemplate last night. Did this mean him and Bryan were a couple? Would Bryan be more open? No no.. he doubted that.. He frowned somewhat, he felt pity for the Russian boy, and he very much wanted to help him. \" Don\'t worry Bryan.. I\'ll make you smile.. a true smile. You will feel again. \"


And while Rei was showering, and pondering things, being all Rei-ish. Our delicious and sexable Russian ( X3 Again.. couldn\'t help it. ) was in the process of making a cake. Eyebrows raised as he brushed away some batter that somehow embedded itself in between some hairs. Face littered with flour, so was his outfit, he shrugged and stirred the contents in his bowl. He wore a light purple apron ( *die* ) and was holding the cookbook in one hand while he stirred. \" He better appreciate this..\" Breakfast was already made, freshly made, seeing he was sure Rei would be down any minute, now he was making a four layered, chocolate swirl, with fudge birthday cake. And too his secret delight, he was enjoying himself. And proud too.. seeing as he was doing quite well. He buttered up four cake pans and began to pour in the batter into each one. There was a little bit of batter left and he dipped his finger in. And as soon as said finger was in his mouth Rei came into the kitchen, in his new attire and greeted our demolition boy cheerfully.

\" Good morning! \" He stopped as he took a peek at Bryan. He was standing there, in his apron ( *snicker*) sucking on a batter licked finger. So naturally Bryan soon found his arms filled with Rei again, who in turn took Bryan\'s finger, dipped it again, and licked off the batter. Pleased with the shocked expression on Bryan\'s face. Bryan shook it off and put the cake pans in the oven, then looked Rei over \" I take it you found my present. \" Rei nodded and smiled cheerfully \" I love it! I promise to wear it as much as possible, actually I\'ll wear iery ery day, until I outgrow it. \" He stated as-a-matter-of-factlly. Bryan just nodded and motioned to the food filled table \" I wasn\'t sure what kind of breakfast foods you liked.. so I made waffles, pancakes, sausages and French toast. Even managed to make freshly squeezed orange juice. \" Rei felt overwhelmed and blushed lightly. He flung his arms around Bryan\'s neck and clung somewhat \" Thank you Bryan...\" Bryan wrapped his arms around Rei\'s waist lightly, he didn\'t say anything, but the action spoke louder than words. After the quick embrace they shared an equally quick kiss and they sat down to eat breakfast quietly.

Bryan surprisingly broke the silence. \" Anything special you want to do today? \" Rei swallowed a mouthful of sausage and nodded. \" Could you teach me how to skate? \" Bryan raised a brow at the request and nodded \" If you\'re willing to learn, then yes. We\'ll go after breakfast. I know of a skating rink that few people go too. \" Rei beamed and began to gulp down his orange juice, he wiped his mouth \" Thanks! \" But a ringing of the doorbell soon interrupted this happy little breakfast. Bryan grunted somewhat and pushed himself off of the chair and strode to the door. After he heaved it open he just stared. Eyes wide in shock, a voice ringing in his ears. \" Guess who....\"
