Chapter 3
Two weeks
had passed since the incident with Vadik. It was good that Kai was busy with
flights to the limit, he had no time to think about what had happened.
From the
center, he was summoned to a meeting in Kamrat with an agent to whom he was supposed
to transfer a secret file with aerial photography and receive a new assignment
from him. This time the meeting was made at the Riviera Plaza Hotel. After
changing his clothes after a night flight, he left for Kamrat.
He found
the agent at a table in the restaurant hall. Nicely enacting a friendly
conversation at the dinner table, they exchanged the necessary information
imperceptibly and said goodbye. The agent went out first. Then Kai got up,
walking to the exit, he bumped into Emmo.
"Basilisk
invites you to our table, well, don't disdain," Emmo said sarcastically,
pointing to their table.
Kai did not
want to aggravate the conflict situation here. He just went to their table and
sat down at it.
"Are
you on leave?" looking up from the food, Basilisk began to examine him.
"Yes."
"Will
you dine with us?" strange, but in the tone of Basilisk, Kai did not hear
aggression or malice.
"I've
already wanted to leave."
"How
long have you been serving here?" ignoring the words of Kai, continued
Basilisk.
"Enough."
"What?
Do you like to shoot?" Emmo looked up from the food.
Kai looked
at them miserably. Basilisk caught this look.
"Enough
stupid questions. If you do not want to eat, then what will you drink?"
"Wine,"
Kai nodded at the open bottle of expensive red wine on their table.
Indigo took
it and refilled the guy's glass.
"Well,
compatriot, let's drink to our dear home," Basilisk brought the glass
closer to Kai's glass.
They
clinked glasses and drank.
Kai drank a
little and put the glass on the table.
"Kai,
hello. How did you end up here?"
He flinched
at the familiar voice, turned around, and saw Toyami standing behind him.
Basilisk
perked up.
"And
your friend did not warn you that will be here?"
Toyami
looked at Basilisk in surprise.
"My
friend?"
"Well,
yes," looking at Kai, Basilisk continued in a not very friendly voice.
Toyami went
to the table and looked closely at first at Kai, who turned pale, then at
Basilisk, whose eyes did not express anything good.
"My
friend is too obstinate, he doesn't like to inform me about his
movements," Toyami replied, looking at Kai.
"Really?
How long have you been with him?" in the voice of Basilisk slipped notes
of suspicion.
"Yes,
for a long time, but he does not like to talk about it."
"But
he can declare that he is your friend, especially when it suits him," Basilisk
could no longer hold back his anger.
"He's
like that in everything. Right, dear?" Toyami put his hand on Kai's
shoulder. "Let's go and talk privately," he sharply pulled Kai from the
table by the shoulder. "Excuse us, gentlemen, but we need to communicate
in a more intimate setting."
Without
waiting for an answer, Toyami pushed Kai towards the exit.
They rode
up in the elevator in silence. Kai knew he had nothing to say. Toyami glared at
him.
On the
storey, he allowed Toyami to push him into the room.
"Well,
now, my friend, explain to me what all this means?" Toyami stood in front
of Kai. "Although, I do not need your explanation. I already understood
everything. You decided to hide behind me, our kind of relationship when you
needed it. So, explain to me: is this a decent act on your part? Just don't
need to say that there were good reasons for that. I would understand
everything if you called me in advance and warned me about it. Now you made me
look like a complete idiot. I'm not used to being treated like that."
Toyami
walked over to the table and lit a cigarette while still looking at Kai.
"Sorry.
I was wrong."
Toyami saw
the complete confusion on Kai's face. He felt sorry for him.
"Tell
me what this comedy was for. And don't lie to me anymore. I've practically
forgiven you for my humiliation today. But if you lie to me now, I will no
longer forgive you."
Kai, like a
schoolboy in the principal's office, stood in the middle of the room. He
confusedly talked about his friends, and what he did to save them, and what it
all turned into. The only thing, he did not begin to talk about the kisses of
Basilisk ...
He felt the
piercing gaze of Toyami on himself, realizing his complete wrong in his deed,
and therefore felt nasty.
Toyami
listened to everything in silence. Then he took another drag on his cigarette.
"Well,
what are you standing?" he examined Kai. "Climb on the bed."
Kai, as if
hypnotized, walked over to the bed and sat on it, then lifted his head to
Toyami.
"What
for?"
"We
will leave traces of the credibility of your legend. You sit down more
comfortably, move to the headboard."
Toyami,
going to the bed, put a pillow under the back of Kai, who was now completely sitting
on it.
Then he
took off his jacket and loosened the knot of his tie.
Toyami sat
down on the bed so that Kai was pressed against it back.
"Well,
what have you got the eyes of a frightened rabbit?" Toyami touched his
face. "Do you even know who Basilisk is? Not really, I think. I often
intersect with him in the club, you know, in Kamrat there is such a closed club
with a certain focus, but it is better for such young and innocent creatures
not to know about it," Toyami's fingers went over his lips. "I saw
what Basilisk and his company were doing with the boys, you better not know
this either…." Toyami brought his face to that of Kai. "And you
decided to deceive Basilisk? You could have warned me. I would help you. Why
didn't you do it?"
Kai darted
between his hands and his lips, which were so close, not knowing what to
answer.
"But I
forgive you for such an act and I will even help you. I will create a legend of
our relationship," Toyami's lips were so close that Kai stopped breathing.
"Basilisk needs confirmation that you are my friend, and we will provide
them to him."
"What
is it like?" Kai whispered against Toyami's lips.
"Your
lips should talk about kisses; your skin should burn from aspirations. We
haven't seen each other for a long time. Basilisk must see the passion between
us."
Toyami
touched his lips, ran his tongue, bit his lip slightly.
"I
don’t understand ..." Kai breathed.
"What
do not you understand? I will make it so that your lips will be an eloquent
confirmation of our ardent meeting, well, I will put a couple more sucks on
your neck for persuasiveness. Well, why are you twitching? Do you want Basilisk
to come off on you for your lies? You saw, he had already suspected deception
..."
Kai froze,
Toyami took advantage of this and captured his lips, penetrating deep into his
mouth with his tongue. Kai's thoughts rushed about in his head: Toyami's words,
his deed, now this way out of everything ... And most importantly, what should
he do? But then the thoughts disappeared, only a feeling remained - he felt
good, delightfully good. Oh, how could Toyami kiss! ...
It seemed
that now he decided to try all the options of his kissing art with him. Indeed,
Kai had already ceased to feel his lips, they were numb from the passion that
Toyami brought down on him.
Only he was
unable to lift his arms from the bedspread. He clung to it with his hands,
crumpling and holding like a saving straw. He could not hug him, it was beyond
his strength, it did not enter into understanding, or rather, not understanding
what was happening now, but he could not hug his broad shoulders in this
perfect starched white shirt. Therefore, he sat there, digging his nails into
the plush of the bedspread.
As if
through the fog, he felt that the kisses from his lips moved to his chin, and
the buttons on his jacket began to unfasten.
"What
are you doing?.." he whispered with almost numb lips.
"Do
you want me to suck you through your clothes?"
Toyami
pulled away from him and enjoyed his contemplation, continuing to unfasten the
buttons, then opened his jacket and ran his hand over his naked torso.
Kai sighed
nervously, Toyami did not let him come to his senses, again grabbed his lips,
then moved to his cheeks and, finally, to his neck. Kai was delightedly good to
feel his passionately painful nibbling and then - a hot tongue on sensitive
areas of the skin.
Suddenly
Toyami pulled back, looked at him strangely, froze, and then abruptly got up
and walked to the window, where he nervously lit a cigarette.
Kai sat
there in prostration, not quite yet returning to reality.
The door
flew open with noise, and Basilisk and his friends burst into their room.
"We
seem to interfere you with something?" Basilisk carefully examined Kai
sitting on the bed in an unbuttoned jacket and Toyami standing by the window,
without a jacket and with an untied tie. "But we are tired of waiting for
you. I had to find out your number at the reception," Basilisk looked at
Toyami. "I wanted to offer you, guys, to go to the club with us
tonight."
Kai's phone
rang, he pulled it out on the machine and, without even looking, pressed the
call. Hearing the voice of the head of the base, he immediately returned from
heaven to earth.
"Yes….
I'm already leaving ... An urgent flight ... That's right .... Yes, I'll be
there in half an hour…. Got it…. Yes," he pressed the hang-up.
Since he
spoke Russian, everyone understood him except Toyami.
"This
is from the airfield," Kai looked at him, speaking in English. "I
have to go, an urgent flight."
"Are
you flying fighters now?" Toyami looked closely at Kai's face.
"Yes,
I'm sorry I didn't say," Kai felt guilty again.
"It
doesn't even surprise me. Why didn't you say that you serve very close to the
city? We could see each other more often," Toyami tried not to pass off
his concern for him.
"I
practically don't leave there, combat missions are constantly going on, I
barely reach the tent ... I won't reach the city," Kai saw that Toyami was
upset by his words.
Basilisk
coughed, realizing that the two had already forgotten about their presence.
"Well,
well, let's not interfere with a touching farewell. Toyami, are you going to
the club today?"
"Not
today, I also need to return to the military unit."
"Then,
gentlemen, let us take the leave," satisfied with what he saw, Basilisk
with Emmo and Indigo went out of the room.
Toyami
stood by the window. Kai began to slowly crawl out of bed, putting himself in
order.
"I’ll
call you, I can pick you up, I’ll take you to dine in the city," Toyami
watched Kai's actions.
"Okay,
call."
Kai
hesitated, considering that it was stupid to say "thank you" for what
was between them now, it was strange to thank for that, but he felt that Toyami
froze and he was waiting for something ... That's just what?
He
hesitated, not finding the answer in himself to this question, and without
raising his eyes, silently walked out of his room.
In the
lobby of the hotel, he also silently walked past Basilisk and his friends, they
were also silent, only looking at him.
He got into
the jeep, glanced at himself in the mirror - his lips were suspiciously red and
swollen, he opened the collar of his jacket, there were fresh sucks. Kai
blushed and buttoned him up, but unfortunately, his lips were impossible to
hide. On the way to the airfield, he stopped at a small shop and bought a
bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. All the way he was pressing it
to his lips. This brightened up the picture of his appearance a little. Okay,
he was quickly given an assignment, and he was relieved to put on an oxygen
mask in the cockpit.
***
From this
flight, he returned squeezed like a lemon. While changing clothes, he forgot to
fasten the top buttons of the uniform, it was good that the first ones he came
across were Senya and Vadik.
Vadik had
already come to his senses from everything that had happened and wanted to
thank Kai again. But the guys froze, forgetting what they wanted to say.
"Blimey!"
finally said Vadik.
Senya
quickly woke up from his stupor and, sharply pushing Kai into the shade of the
tent, began to button up the buttons of his uniform.
"You
had a good time in the city, apparently," seeing Kai's incomprehensible
face, Senya continued to button up his buttons. "And how is she?
Apparently, you caught a very passionate girl, or were you with a
vampire?"
"A
passionate one," Kai remembered who did it to him and blushed.
"Come
on, what are you, like a girl, are you turning red? Well, you've had some fun,
we're happy for you. But the commander would not be happy with your appearance.
After all, you go to the headquarters?"
"Yes,
for the report."
"Go
now," Senya looked at him meticulously.
"Isn't
it seen now?"
"Not.
Go. We are waiting for you in the tent. There is cognac."
Kai was
delighted at the prospect of cognac. He needed it now. All thoughts of what had
happened began to cover him. At the headquarters, he mechanically reported on
the flight, listened to everything that was said.
"You
look bad somehow. Tired?"
"A
little bit. May I go?"
"Go,
have a rest."
Senya and
Vadik were waiting for him in the tent. Their makeshift table had already been
laid. This time there was a lot of chocolate. Kai chewed it on the machine,
half-listening to the guys' chatter. Soon, from everything taken together, he
began to fall asleep.
