Think about me

Kai's p.o.v

It was hot in here. The loud music blended with masses of dancing bodies only adding to the claustrophobic atmosphere. The rank smell of alcohol and sweat hung in the air but I seemed to be the only one bothered by it. People who I'd previously held some respect for were singing drunkenly to the terrible music, incredibly out of tune whilst dancing provocatively with some other random blader who blindly did the same. Others, though admittedly less drunk, danced among them, flirting with casually with someone they wouldn't look twice at through a sober eye. However, no one could deny that they seemed to be having the time of their lives – young, drunk and pretty; what reason would they have to sit down and act mature? It was a party and they were going to make the most of it, have some fun. But not me.

And, why, you might ask, have I chosen to sit here and merely watch them instead of joining in? There's more than one reason. For one, despite being on my sixth drink, I was still not showing any sign of becoming remotely tipsy. Secondly, it's not generally my idea of fun to jump up and down to music that makes me want to puke, with uncoordinated bladers I barely even like. And thirdly, lastly and most importantly, I'd gladly sit here and miss out on all of the "fun" if it meant I could watch Rei in peace.

Yes, I am sitting in the corner of the room watching my team mate dance. Strange? Maybe. Perverted? Ever so slightly. Obsessive? Most definitely. I, Kai Hiwatari, can honestly admit that I am completely one hundred percent obsessed with the Chinese beauty that is Rei Kon.

I don't really remember how it started or even when. All I know is that at some point over the last year, I started looking at him differently and strange things like the way he ate or the way he yawned gave me this weird feeling in my chest and sent me into a disgustingly sappy daydream which usually ended with me or Rei confessing our love to each other in the cheesiest ways deemed possible. But, girlish daydreams aside, I loved the way he made me feel and I found myself seeking out his company, for the chance to feel that again.

He started talking to me, whenever I was hanging around him, he'd engage me in conversation and surprisingly I talked back. Mostly, we'd talk about small things like music, beyblading or whether Tyson and Max had gotten together yet. But occasionally we'd talk about our families and our pasts….and somehow I started telling him things I've never told anyone. But then again Rei's different. It was like he could see right through me, through all my barriers and all my defences, right down to the core where there's just me, naked and exposed. But for some reason I don't mind that he can do that. I know that whatever I tell him won't ever be held against me and I extend the same courtesy. There are still things I haven't told him, things I'm not ready to let him in on and yet I know that if I ever don't want to talk about something, he'll flash me that cute little smile of his that lets me know he understands, before he starts in on a new subject.

I love the way he can do that so easily. I love the way he's so easy to trust. I love the way he laughs at the things I say and I love the way he always manages to make me smile, even when I'm at my lowest. He always manages to make things fit again and makes my life seem just that tiny bit better. And so I've come to the conclusion that I've fallen completely, helplessly in love with him.

That's why I'm sitting here watching him. He's dancing with Tala, hips moving perfectly in time with the music, and way too closely to Tala for my liking. However, I refrained from bursting out into a jealous rage and murdering Tala for a chance to be that close to Rei. It's hard but I'm coping. Besides, I happened to know for a fact that Tala is crushing badly on Bryan and by the way Bryan is glaring at Rei, I'd say the feelings mutual. I saw Tala sneak a look at Bryan and a huge smirk spread across his face. He turned to see me watching them and winked at me before returning his attention back onto Rei. He leant in to whisper in his ear. Rei drew away laughing before pulling Tala in closer. That's when I realised what they must have been trying to do. They were trying to get Bryan jealous.

It seemed to have worked; Bryan marched up to them and muttered something to Tala. Tala pouted but seemed to agree all the same. He embraced Rei in a hug. He must have said something because Rei's usual smile turned to a look of utmost surprise. Tala giggled and blew a kiss before he was dragged off by Bryan.

Rei's smile soon returned though, and he began making his way determinedly through the crowd.

Rei's p.o.v

"It's working." Tala whispered to me as he moved in closer and we carried on dancing. I laughed at him and did the same.

He'd come up to me earlier on in the night complaining about Bryan being moody or something along those lines and had accidentally let slip that he had feelings for his lilac-haired team mate.

It had taken quite a while to try and calm him down and I'd suggested that we go dance. And now, what had originally been a way of making Tala forget about Bryan and have some fun had become a fully-fledged plan to make him jealous. Basically, we danced, we flirted, Bryan gets pissed and Tala has his revenge. Not that I wasn't enjoying myself, I love to dance and Tala was great to talk to but I was getting increasingly unnerved by the intensity of Bryan's glare.

Speak of the devil. Bryan's making his way over here. He wasn't that far away actually. He went up to Tala, making sure to throw a glare my way first, before leaning in to whisper in his ear.

"We should go." Tala pouted but nodded nonetheless. He leant in for a hug goodbye, mumbling to me as he did so.

"Just so you know, kitty, Bryan wasn't the only one jealous. Look behind me." He pulled away and giggled whilst being dragged away, leaving me to stand there bemused. I looked beyond where Tala had previously stood to find Kai sitting there watching me.

Kai? Really? What does….does he….was he….he was watching us? I smiled, was he watching me? Does that mean….God, I hope it does.

I meandered my way through the crowd to where Kai was sitting.

"Hey Kai." I greeted him dropping down on to the sofa beside him. He turned to look at me and nodded in acknowledgement. "Having fun?"

"Not really." I guess I should have expected that. He turned to look at me. "Looked like you were though." He added inclining his head slightly toward the dance floor. I smirked in return. He raised his eyebrows and turned away again.

We sat in comfortable silence for a while, both of us lost in our own thoughts.

"I think it worked." He randomly spoke up. I looked at him perplexed silently willing him to explain. "Making Bryan Jealous, I think it worked." I laughed.

"Were we really being that obvious?" I giggled. I thought we hid our true intentions rather well.

"Only to me." He replied lazily.

"Hope it did work." I commented. "They'd make a cute couple." I received a 'whatever' and a weird look for that. Well, I hadn't really expected him to agree with me.

Suddenly the music changed form some overly cheerful pop song to a soft guitar intro and John Rzeznik's voice came over the stereo system. I grinned to myself. I love this song.

"I love this song." I spoke my thoughts aloud. "I'm going to go dance, ok?"

Another 'whatever'.

I was about to turn and leave when an idea hit me, I moved back to my seat.

"Are you going to come and dance with me?" I asked receiving a glare in response.

"No."

"Aw, why not?" I wasn't going to give up that easily.

"I don't dance."

"That's a crappy excuse, come dance."

"No."

"Please?" I whined moving closer, giving Kai Maxes patented kicked puppy look.

"No." I obviously wasn't as good at it as Max.

"Kai…"

"No!"

"Come dance"

"No"

"Come dance"

"No"

"Come dance"

"NO!" he shouted finally losing his temper.

"But Kai!" I moaned "Just one dance, come on I love this song."

"Go away, Kon." Kon?

"Don't want to Hiwatari." I retorted childishly, frowning at the use of last names. "Dance with me."

"If you don't shut up, I'm going to have to do it myself."

"Go on then." I dared him but all he did was glare. "That's not going to shut me up. Come dance with me" I smirked. However, my smirk was short-lived. Kai had stood up and was looking to kill. I stood up too but Kai still towered over me despite only being a few inches taller then me.

"Kai?" I questioned. No answer, He just started walking toward me forcing me to back away. "Kai." I said again but to no avail, he carried on walking forwards and evil glint in his eyes.

I managed to back myself into a wall, Kai just stood there staring down at me. I gulped.

"Kai." I squeaked out "Kai, what are you doing?" I didn't care how high-pitched my voice must have sounded; I was petrified.

"Shutting you up." He growled. I closed my eyes waiting for the blow to come. It didn't. I opened my eyes and got a swift glance of deep red eyes full of some unrecognisable emotion before he kissed me.

He kissed me.

Kaikissed me.

He moved himself closer and wrapped his arms around my waist bringing us into further contact. His tongue traced lightly along my lips, asking for entrance which I gladly gave. I moved my arms to rest around his neck pulling him deeper into the kiss. People were cheering and whistling and I even think I heard Tyson and Max yelling "Go Rei!", but I wasn't listening to them. Who would be? The only thing on my mind was Kai.

We drew away eventually when oxygen became an issue.

"Still want to dance?" Kai breathed in my ear causing my whole body to shiver.

"No…" I whispered breathlessly. "I want to do this." And with that I pulled Kai down onto the nearest sofa and proceeded to run my hands through his hair and drag him down for another kiss.

Needless to say, He complied willingly.

Reviews would be nice... next chapter- Tyson/Max
