Author's Note: Now that my bout with the flu, which earned me a freaking hospital trip due to dehydration I might add, is over, and FINALS are over, and Christmas Vacation has begun... I can write again. Woot. Hope you all like this one. I MIGHT do a sequel to this. Maybe. If I ever think of something.... but.... now I'm going to concentrate on Expect the Unexpected.

PLEASE review! I appreciate all the people that favorite this story and such, I really do, but I love reviews too. I've even been known to reply to them on more than one occasion.
Chapter Four
Hiro slowly walked towards the hotel room, wincing slightly as Tala's grip on his arm tightened painfully. His eyes widened as they approached the room, seeing Spencer and Bryan standing guard on either side of the door menacingly.
"We're going to let you in," Tala said to Hiro as he stood in front of the door, "but if I hear one thing from Kai saying he doesn't want you there, you're gone."
"What about if he doesn't even want to see me?" Hiro asked quietly.
"Then we won't even let you in," Tala replied, giving Hiro a look that said Hiro should have known the answer.
Tala quickly slipped into the room, leaving Hiro to suffer under the intense glare of Bryan and Spencer.
"Kai?" Tala whispered, as he quietly walked over to the bundle of covers on the bed. Tala sat down, running his fingers comfortingly through Kai's hair. "Kai, wake up."
"Tala?" Kai sat up slowly, looking at Tala with wide eyes. "What's going on?"
"Hiro is outside," Tala whispered. "He wants to talk to you. I'll send him away though, if you want."
"I…I can't face him, Tala," Kai murmured, pulling his knees to his chest. "He'll just reject me."
"No he won't," Tala replied, his eyes softening. Despite his utter hatred for Hiro, his concern for Kai's happiness was greater. "Give him a chance. If you need anything then Spencer, Bryan, and I are right outside the door. Okay?"
"Okay," Kai nodded quietly. Tala got up, squeezing his shoulder comfortingly, before leaving the room. A few minutes later, Hiro walked in the door cautiously. Kai's eyebrows knotted in confusion when Hiro didn't move after that. "Just come in and close the door," Kai said.
Hiro closed the door, and then walked slowly to the foot of the bed, with his head down. Kai was confused. Why did Hiro look so guilty? "Hiro?" Kai asked, uncertainly.
"I'm so sorry."
Kai blinked, stunned. "For what?"
"For offending you."
"What are you talking about?" Kai asked, leaning forward in curiosity.
"Last night," Hiro whispered. "I thought that you… Oh, it doesn't matter," Hiro sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "And then I just left…. I wasn't even man enough to wait until you woke up."
Kai's eyes widened. "You mean that was all real?"
Hiro looked up, surprised. "Real? Yes, of course it was. Wait, you mean Tala wasn't just messing with me when he said you told him it was a dream?"
The two stared at each other in shock. A slow smile spread over Hiro's face, and he slowly walked over to Kai. Kai tensed, his eyes widening further if possible, as he gazed up at Hiro who now stood in front of him.
"Every moment was real, Kai," Hiro whispered, as he sat next to Kai and took one of Kai's hands gently in his own. "Every single moment was real. I should have stayed with you until you woke up; I see that now. But I promise you, if you're willing to give me a chance, I will never let that happen again. Nothing would make me happier than to wake up next to you for as long as you could possibly have me."
"Really?" Kai asked quietly, so quietly that Hiro barely heard him. Hiro smiled and cupped Kai's cheek gently with his free hand, before pressing a slow, gentle kiss to Kai's forehead.
"Yes, Kai. I promise you that if you'll give me a chance, I'll do everything in my power to ensure your happiness. I made a mistake leaving you like that. I won't make that same mistake twice. I love you, Kai," Hiro said, before finally pressing his lips to Kai's.
Kai instantly melted into Hiro's embrace, clinging to him tightly. The kiss started out slow and gentle, exploratory and cautionary, until finally it began to grow more passionate. Hiro gently pushed Kai down, before crawling on top of him.
"Hiro," Kai gasped when he finally pulled away for air. Kai reached a shaking hand up to trace the sides of Hiro's face, and Hiro smiled down at him.
"I love you, Kai," Hiro murmured, as he buried his face in Kai's hair.
"I love you too, Hiro," Kai sighed happily. "Please don't leave me."
"Never again, Kai," Hiro replied. "I'll be here when you wake up, for as long as you desire."
"Well, I wasn't exactly planning on sleeping right now…" Kai blushed, and Hiro smirked.
"Oh really? What were you planning then?" Hiro asked, before capturing Kai's lips in a kiss that sent fire down both their spines.

"Well, I guess everything went well," Bryan laughed, as he and his fellow Blitzkrieg Boys began drifting away from the door. "I suggest we go now. I don't really want to hear them going at it."
"You only say that because you don't want to imagine your surrogate baby brother having sex," Spencer laughed.
"Neither do I," Tala laughed. "I don't care what you guys do, but I'm going to find King."
"I wonder why," Bryan replied in a sing-song voice.
