Just another quick little story from me of my second favorite pairing X3 They're just too much fun to write. I hope you enjoy!

"Garland!"

Looking up from his spinning blade, Garland glances over his shoulder to see a familiar blonde hair Spaniard jogging up the cement path towards him. "Oh, Miguel?" he mutters in a small sense of confusion, recalling his blade as the blonde draws closer. "What brings you here?"

Panting lightly from the jog, Miguel stops in front of him. "I take it you haven't heard the news?"

"News?" Garland's confusion only increases but then he groans in annoyance and rolls his eyes skyward. "Oh god, please tell me Bryan wasn't caught beating up street gangs again."

"Not this time," Miguel laughs before quickly sobering up. "You better come with me."

Miguel forces a smile as he places a hand on his shoulder. He soon drops it however, his eyes immediately scanning his surroundings suspiciously.

Garland resists the urge to laugh at the nervous blonde as the two of them begin their trek towards the ever familiar dojo. Miguel is a little weary of his boyfriend, Bryan. Bryan is, to put this politely, extremely possessive of him. He won't allow anyone he doesn't know or trust near Garland, and even then, it's very reluctantly.

Although, he is getting better as days go by.

There was a time where Garland couldn't speak to anyone without Bryan getting jealous. And the fans? Well, they were the worst offenders! Bryan's jealousy is completely unfounded, of course. Garland simply cannot imagine his life with anyone else. Still, his possessiveness and jealousy does tend to get the better of him, and everyone else for that matter.

Kai managed to get that point across, all it took was a bit of pain and some scowling. But that was mainly because Bryan snarled at Miguel, which immediately provoked Kai's own protective streak. Kai belted him across the head with a kendo stick, planting his face into the dirt, his foot on the back of his head and while he calmly pointed out the fact that he and Miguel have been dating for three years and that he and Garland have been together just as long.

Kai doesn't say much, but he certainly has a way with people.

Garland lifts his head up and notices that there are now nearing the entrance of the dojo. There, he also notices a familiar figure leaning against the wall, his eyes close and arms over his chest tightly.

"Are they here yet?" Kai asks as he appears in view, blowing a rebellious strand of hair from his eyes in exasperation.

"We are now," Garland smiles as the two Russians' snap their attention in his direction.

Bryan immediately pushes away from the wall, taking a moment to look with an accusing gaze from the corner of his eye at Miguel. The movement is subtle, but it didn't get past Kai.

And he delivers a swift punch to his arm.

"Ow!" Bryan whines, moving to hide behind Garland as he rubs his arm furiously. "What was that for?"

Kai scowls at him and walks over to Miguel, who immediately wraps his arms around his waist and places a soft kiss to his temple. "How is he doing?" Miguel asks.

"A tiny bit better," Kai answers with a sigh. "He's only swearing in Chinese now."

Garland finds himself blinking in confusion. His confusion increases when Bryan wraps his arm around his shoulders and leads him towards the front entrance of the dojo.

Stepping into the dojo grounds, the sound of one voice cursing loudly in Chinese greets him. As he steps further into the court yard, he sees his young Egyptian teammate trying desperately to calm his boyfriend down.

"Ray, please," Mystel pleads with him, tears pooling in the corners of his eyes. "Just calm down, ok?"

Ray immediately stops cursing, moving instead to pull Mystel into his arms, holding him tight and secure against his chest as he rests his chin in the golden strands of Mystel's hair. "I can't believe how close that was."

"What happened?" Garland asks, tilting his head back to look directly at Bryan.

Bryan frowns, taking a step back and shove his hands into his pockets as he slouches his posture. "Some jackass broke into Ray's car and stole his CD player."

Immediately, Garland's eyes widen and he whips his head around to look at the two teens comforting each other. Poor guys, no wonder they're upset. Ray's car doesn't look like much, but that CD player was his first big purchase since officially moving to Japan and starting work. Mystel helped him pick it out and they've been really excited about it.

"I've been trying to calm Ray down all morning," Kai says as he appears to stand beside Garland.

"Did losing his CD player really affect him that much?" Garland finds himself asking.

"Not only that, but the fact Mystel was in the car moments before it was stolen," Miguel fills him in. "He's more annoyed that the guy might have hurt him just to get the CD player."

Garland finds himself nodding his head in understanding and notices that Bryan is doing the same thing. "I'm glad they're both alright, though."

"The shock has worn off," Kai tells him. "But the anger remains. Ray is a proud guy; he won't let me buy him another one to replace it. He says that it's simply not worth it."

Bryan gazes at the scene with unreadable eyes for a few moments before turning around and heading towards the front entrance, his brow furrow with a sense of determination.

"Bryan?" Garland calls out to his boyfriend.

"I'm going for a walk," Bryan explains, glancing over his shoulder. "See if anyone on the street knows anything."

Garland's eyes soften as he walks over to him, knowing there is nothing he can do to stop the zealous Russian. "Be careful."

Bryan turns around fully, a sly smile on his face. He holds out his hand for Garland to take. "You mean, don't get caught."

A soft chuckle passes Garland's lips as he slips his hand into Bryan's much large one. "That too."

"Heh," Bryan snorts, promptly pulling Garland into his arms and kissing him soundly on the lips. "See you later tonight."

Garland nods, reluctantly stepping out of Bryan's arms and then watches as the platinum hair youth disappears through the front entrance. He can't help but worry about him. True, Bryan is more than capable of looking after himself, but that doesn't mean he wants him getting into any trouble.

He turns back around and quickly finds Kai looking at him, a small understanding smile on his lips. Garland returns the smile with a weary one of his own. Kai is the only person he can really talk to about Bryan. Tala's a little too blunt for his liken and Spencer's too philological. And Ian? He would never dream talking to Ian about his relationship worries.

"He'll be fine," Kai quickly reassures him. "He's not as bad as he used to be."

"I know," Garland replies, knowing all too well how Bryan was like when they first started dating. He would disappear at all hours of the day or night, causing Garland to worry needlessly about him all the time. He just hopes that Bryan doesn't piss the wrong person off one day.

"Oh, Garland," Kai says, snapping Garland out of his thoughts. "You better be careful yourself."

Garland furrows his brow in confusion. "Why?"

"The All stars are in town," Kai tells him, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "You know what that means."

"Urgh, Steve," Garland spits in disgust. "I can't stand that guy."

Steve has taken quite a liken to Garland, teetering on the hint of sleaziness towards him. He would try to cop a feel whenever he gets the chance, while making rude and suggestive comments. His favorite pick-up line has to be that Flintstones one. The one that says; I'll be Fred and you be Wilma, so lets make the Bedrock.

Urgh, it's enough to make your skin crawl.

He was once after Kai at one stage, but after receiving a swift kick to the groin after copping a feel, he's reluctant to go near him again. Of course, the fact that Rick witness the whole thing helped a bit. Rick thought it was hysterical and wouldn't stop ripping Steve for it.

He'll never live that down for as long as he shall live.

But, even though Steve is a bit of a sleaze, he isn't all that stupid. He has never tried anything to Garland while Bryan is around. He knows the Russian's dangerous temperament after hearing countless stories, so tends to be a bit weary of him.

Garland has told Bryan that Steve has been trying to crack onto him and Bryan has threatened the American several times, but since Bryan hasn't witness anything, he doesn't beat him up. But he most certainly would love too.

"They've been in Japan for a couple of days," Kai explains, once again snapping Garland out of his thoughts. "A surprise for Max from his mum. That and she had a meeting with the BBA."

"Yeah," Garland mutters, pressing his lips in a thin line. "The nicest thing she has ever done."

"Don't get me started," Kai practically snarls under his breathe.

It's no secret that Kai can't stand Judy. The woman who claims to be Max's mother, but treats him more as a trophy than a son infuriates him more than anything. But despite not being there for him as much as she should be, Max loves his mother and is happy when she decides to visit. And for that reason alone, Kai tries to at least pretend to get along with his mother.

"Oh well," Garland sighs as he shrugs. "I guess I can try to tolerate him for a while. For Max's sake at least."

"You can always call Bryan if he gets too close," Kai smirks.

"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Garland tells the enigma. "But, on the other hand, calling Bryan would be interesting to say the least."

Kai says nothing but laughs. Garland smiles and turns his attention back to the scene unfolding before him, his eyes immediately falling onto the blonde Spaniard who is calmly trying to settle the furious nekojin down.

"You're lucky," Garland says suddenly, turning his gaze to Kai once again. "You have a calm boyfriend."

"I don't know," Kai says as another laugh escapes his lips. "Miguel can prove to be fiery little spitfire when the need calls for it."

This time Garland laughs.

Ah, ok, this will most likely be either a twoshot or a threeshot. Whatever I'm in the mood for, I guess X3
