Here's the flip side to "An Interesting Morning" Beware angst and a fluffy ending. Possibly a oneshot, possibly a twoshot. I haven't decided yet. I don't own beyblade. Enjoy.

Claude awoke with a massive migraine and a groan. He sat up and looked around the room he was in. He sighed when he realized that he hadn't dreamed his predicament, but was actually living it. Claude's eyes searched the room for any sign of the redhead he had gone home with only to find he was alone. He moved over to the edge of the bed and sat there until he spotted his boxers lying a few feet away. Slipping silently out of bed with a grace most didn't attribute to him he walked over and pulled the fabric up to cover himself. His feet took him to the bathroom where he stared at his reflection in the mirror completely repulsed by himself. Sighing softly he decided that a shower would at least help his body feel better if not his mind.

Stepping out of the steaming bathroom in his boxers while towel drying his hair he was greeted by the sight of Tala eating breakfast at the kitchen table. "Morning." Claude forced a smile onto his face causing Tala to put down his fork and look at him more closely. "Was I wrong to assume you enjoyed yourself last night?"

Claude sighed as he picked up his pants and pulled them on. "It's more complicated that if I simply enjoyed last night."

"I take it you're not a fan of one night stands."

"No, but that's not what I'm referring to." Claude picked up his shirt and slipped his arms into it.

"Then what is it? I'm not a mind-reader you know. Biovolt didn't figure out how to do that to me." Tala watched Claude button up his shirt and waited for the silver-haired teen to look at him which hadn't happened since he walked out of the bathroom.

"It's not something I want to explain. I had hoped you wouldn't come back before I had a chance to leave." He started for the door only to have Tala grab his wrist and pull him to a stop. Claude glared at him and yanked his wrist out of the wolf's strong grip. "Just forget about what happened and leave me the fuck alone. The last thing I need in my life right now is someone like you." He left quickly leaving behind a very stunned Tala.

He ran as fast as he could down the steps and through the parking lot to his silver convertible. He threw the car in gear and took off through the streets to the apartment he shared with his teammates. Claude kept his foot on the accelerator going faster and faster the farther he got from the hotel and Tala. By the time he pulled into his parking spot by his apartment building he had calmed down and was once again disgusted with himself. Claude took the elevator up to the top floor where he walked down to the door that led into the spacious apartment he called home.

Claude walked into the apartment silently hoping that his teammates would all be somewhere else so that he could have some time alone to figure himself out before he had to deal with them. Unfortunately, fate was not even close to being on his side that morning. Most of the BBA was sitting in his living room talking and chatting including an apparently together Miguel and Kai. Bryan was the first to spot him and the falcon smirked. "Have fun last night Claude? It certainly sounded like it."

Claude's eyes narrowed in a glare that made even the homicidal Russian falcon back off. "What is it with your team and not leaving me alone?" He demanded of his team's guest.

"You shifted." Aaron had always been blunt about everything, but in Claude's current state of mind it probably would have been a better idea to keep his mouth shut. Before Claude could respond, however, a blinding pain shot through his head and he was forced to bite back a scream. He lurched into the kitchen and started searching for a specific bottle of pills that would stop the pain.

"You threw out your prescription two months ago. You didn't want to have to rely on pills to control your personality so you tossed them. You'd been doing really well too. What happened?"

"Tala. I can't control myself around him. He makes my aggressive side come out and now I've completely lost control of my personalities." Claude sank to the ground his head in his hands. Everyone stared at the Spanish teen silently shaking on the floor.

Miguel opened his mouth to give his team orders, but was interrupted by a knock on the odor. Mathilda got up and answered it. She silently stepped aside allowing Tala entrance to the apartment. "You have a very confusing teammate" he informed Miguel who simply rolled his eyes.

"He's not confusing. He's mentally unstable and has been since he was a kid. You set off a series of personality shifts he's had under control for years. As much as I believe you could be good for him, until he learns to control his personalities around you, you have to back off. I'm going to get him back on his medication, but until then you have to stay away from him." Tala started to interrupt, but Miguel continued. "You're hurting him simply by being around him. Claude gets massive migraines after his personality shifts too quickly. When he's back on his meds you can try to start something with him if you want to, but until then I want you to leave him alone so that he can take care of himself. I'll call you when that happens."

"You don't have my number" Tala pointed out.

"I do and I'm dating Miguel now so I'll give it to him." Tala blinked at Kai and nodded slowly. He turned and left wishing there was something more that he could do.

Miguel silently helped Claude into his room and tried to help his friend get comfortable. He walked back into the living room and looked at his guests with a sigh. "I have to ask you all to leave. It's probably best if the apartment is quiet while Claude recovers from this." The other bladers nodded and left until only Kai was the only nonresident left.

Claude got off of his bed and walked over to the window. He shoved his head into his pockets. Feeling a piece of paper in one of them he pulled his hand out and looked at it. He picked up his cell phone and punched in the number written on it. The phone rang several times before he was delivered over to voicemail. "This is Tala. Leave a message if you must."

The phone beeped and Claude left a brief message.

Tala flipped open his phone as he relaxed with his teammates at the hotel and saw that he had a voicemail. He waited until it started playing and smiled softly.

"Tala, its Claude. Just give me a few days to get back on my meds. I'll be okay and then we can pick up where we left off this morning."

Well, there it is. I told you the ending was fluffy! In case you were wondering Claude has a kind of split-personality. He has an agressive/violent/dominant side and a passive/nonviolent/submissive side. The passive side is his normal state, but when he gets around certain people (like Tala) and he's not on his meds his agressive side comes out to have some fun. It generally leaves him with a headache and regrets over what he's done.

Claude: I don't have split-personality disorder

Me: I know, but your bitbeast has two heads so I thought I'd give you two personalities

Tala: There's going to be more where Claude and I actually get to be together right?

Me: Maybe... you'll have to wait and see just like everyone else. Review!
