JUST SAY IT...
ONE-SHOT
The sun was falling down on the horizon, slowly fading in its reds and oranges, allowing the night to regain possession of the Earth. On the streets the temperature was already freezing, way below ten degrees.
People all around the world knew Russia was famous for cold climate... expecially in that period.
Of course, since living in the northern country for all their lives, people get accustomed to the cold, and for the many tourists, well, it wasn't that problem. BeyBlade Tournaments were the ony thing that mattered to them.
One of the said tournaments ended some days before, and the excitement of Moscow was fading again into the peaceful laziness, turning back to its normal life without much noise.
But the cold and the tournament weren't the most important things for the amber-eyed boy now looking outside the window. The kind cat's eyes were slowly moving through the white picture outside his suite, lingering on the snow covered streets and on the beutiful image of the wintry trees all around the city. He was thinking that the city looked even more beautiful today.
Ray sighed, slightly bored. In fact, the day went out almost sleepily, leaving the Neko-jinn behind the window staring amazed at the sight.
He wasn't however paying that much attention at the sunfall and at the red reflection of the sun, which was trying to melt everything in gold and crimson shades.
It was wonderful, amazing, absolutely stunning in all his falling beauty, and still, he wasn't caring the last bit.
His hair hung low and loose all around his frame, free from its usual ponytail and sash, its tips curling around his features with grace, and the teen was now combing it slowly, taking all the time required to untie its knots, while the bangs fell on his face and body in a girlish way.
He looked almost like a fallen angel.
His attitude and long hair always attracted a lot of fans, both male and female: he was athletic, hot and had cat-abilities... none to count his amber eyes and slight frame.
He was admired and loved by many... but one sole person owned his heart.
The said Neko-jinn, who was cursing slightly under his breath, trying to win over the bulk of his messed hair, was sure he was in love. The nice sensation of having someone to care for...
The person?
Well obviously Kai, Hiwatari Kai.
It was nothing new, since he was crushing over the said slate haired teen for almost a year now, right after the tournament that made the Bladebreakers new World Champions. It was still clear in his mind, all the things happened right after Tyson beat Tala in the finals.
Mr. Dickinson would shown up in their hotel room, reporting to them that Boris and Voltaire were now under trial for various crimes, and now the BladeBreakers' purpose was fulfilled. They'd saved the world, stopping the two's insane plan.
And now they could just split up, returning to their boring lives... a little less boring now.
Tyson and Max decided to return to Japan with Kenny, to resume their previous lives, making clear that for future competitions they were ready. Judy, Max's mom, decided to go to Japan as well, wanting to take a break from the PPB's works.
Kai now no more leader of the Team, decided to stay in Russia, taking his grandfather's place and work in Biovolt to make sure none of the past deeds would happen again. Besides, he had to help the Demolition Boys... who would have known they were friends? It was a real shock to all the Bladers, especially Tyson. When they'd found the five of them chatting happily, that caused them a sudden heart attack.
Ray himself didn't know where to go. He wasn't ready to return to his hometown in China, to the White Tiger's village, in part because the elders still hadn't excused him fully for his betrayal -even if Lee and the others had- and in part because he had to admit to himself he could not live without his former teamleader.
Childlish but true.
It started as a simple crush, because he was really hot. Besides, Ray knew for long time he wasn't straight. So he accepted the crush, happily spying at his leader with dreamy eyes, thinking it would fade sooner or later.
Then the crush turned into respect and admiration. And at the end it all became something more, something deeper. Seeing Kai always behind them, helping all the team with his subtle ways, made Ray realize he was actually in love with the cold hearted, stoic bastard.
How could it happen, he did not knew. The only thing he was sure about was that he couldn't leave... not now...
Maybe never.
So, gaining the guts to do that, he asked Kai if he could remain in Russia with him for a little, and surprisingly enough, Kai was positive.
Of course remain with Kai meant he had to learn russian and convive with the Demolition Boys as well and at first Ray believed it would be hard. Bearing the company of a twist-minded red head, of the one person who sent him in the hospital, and of two other boys with strange attitudes wasn't exactly his meaning of happiness... but he had reminded himself Kai was there too, and he seemed a lot less colder.
He had embraced himself for the harder way, and instead he found all of them quite easy to interact with, and a lot funnier than before. Spencer wasn't that stupid, Ian was a smart ass but was nice, and Tala was kinda freaky. Even with Bryan he'd found some kind of... acquaintance. With that, learning Russian became quite easier and now Ray talked mainly that language instead of japanese or Chinese.
Ray yawned stretching in a kitten-like way, shaking slightly his head so his ebony hair would remain untangled, and then he sighed. One year spent with them... and he still hadn't admitted to Kai his feelings.
Sure they had became friends, very close friends -like Kai was with the psychotic Tala-, the blue haired teen confided in Ray a lot but... nothing happened.
Only friends.
Just. That. Damned. Word.
Ray sighed. It was harder than he first thought; not that he wasn't feeling at home: in fact he was feeling more comfortable there than with the White Tigers, but...
He needed something more.
And he was now sure that Ôsomething' was near.
Ray attempted to comb his hair so they would look natural and sophisticated all the same and in some way he managed to achieve it, his lips curled upwards in a dreamy grin as his mind returned to the morning, to the great event he witnessed... okay, to the event he spyed on.
His eyes closed in contempt as he remembered the glorious moment...
"""""" (Start FlashBack)
Ray was cooking something, since Bryan asked him, well, more like demanded, to eat his pancakes.
Ray was a great cook and he loved doing food even if he hardly ate it, all the Demolition Boys loved eating his dishes. Strange enough, since Ray at first believed the D-Boys to never eat. But he'd come to know them all, and since Biovolt was down, even Kai managed to get his appetite back.
Each one was in love with one of his specialities, and Ray was amazed by the amout of food they managed to eat and still remain thin. Even if none of them had turned into Tyson... well maybe Spencer, but he was the tallest and the bigger and he needed more food.
However, Ian after tasting his cookies had gone wild, Spencer just drooled over his soup, Tala was mad about meat and Kai was quite fond of his salty bun.
Well, Bryan loved pancakes. Not just the plain ones, but he loved them all, expecially the ones with blueberries and strawberries. They all managed to eat at Kai's once a week, each one demanding his favourite dish and Ray couldn't complain, since he loved cooking.
So Ray was happily mixing the flour with water as Bryan watched him like a falcon -to which he was really alike- singing the new Evanescence's single under his breath.
Then they heard the front door bang open and they both knew Tala and Kai were back. The two were almost inseparable, after they worked with each other. Tala had believed Kai had betrayed them, and he was really mad with him. But after the fight against Tyson Kai and Tala have had a talk and they became best friends again, together with the rest of the team.
Ray spyed Bryan from his position, giving the older teen his back, and saw his eyes bright up at the sound of Tala's voice chatting with Kai. The Neko-jinn knew for a long time Bryan was in love with the russian red head, even if it took almost five months to make him confess.
Bryan was in the same situation of Ray, only that he was in love with Tala for five years... five years and two months tomorrow.
Ray grinned and positioned the ready pancakes in the oven to cook them, then he reached the doorknob to go and greet the two, opening it by half. And that's when Bryan and Ray heard it.
Are we alone?" Tala asked in a low voice, looking around with diffident eyes.
Kai shrugged I think Ray's gone shopping" he said. He told me he needed some new cooking tools... or something like that".
Tala stretched, then he let himself fall on an armchair, sighing aloud with a tired face. Kai sat near him, a similar expression gracing his own.
You know we have to tell them" Tala commented, looking right in Kai's eyes.
The slate haired russian nodded wearily.
I know, but what if they'll reject us?" he looked sourly away. What if they hate us after?
Tala took a breath, closing his icy blue eyes. It's been a few months now, you know, and we can't just keep pretending. They will find out sooner or later, it's obvious. So it's better if it's us to tell them we're in love".
But what if they just reject us? I can't stand living without them..." Kai sighed. But you're right. We'll tell them this evening".
Ray closed the door soundlessy, his heart pounding so much that he thought it would just explode in his chest.
Bryan near him was just as much astonished as him, but Ray couldn't care less. Now he placed all the past facts in their places.
In the last few months Kai kept peering at Ray when he thought he wasn't looking. The Chinese blader caught the Russian always lingering around him quite nervously, like he was hiding something.
And he was really hiding something.
Ray thought nothing could compare the happiness he felt inside. Kai was in love with him too. Kai finally loved him!
He glanced at the shocked lilac haired teen near him, and saw the same knowledge in his eyes thinking Tala loved him.
He was so happy.
"""""" (End FlashBack)
For the fucking shit, where is he?!
Ray cringed slightly, returning back to reality, as Bryan stormed inside the room, fuming. After Ray had closed the door both teens resumed their work hearing Kai and Tala leave again. Two hours later Kai called them saying ÔTala and I have something to say' to them both.
So now both Bryan and the kitten were waiting in Kai's suite for their loves to come.
COME BACK NOW! JUST COME BACK STUPID ASSHOLE!
Bryan stomped his foot on the ground with an angered expression, looking both mad and disappointed and at the same worried. His clear and bright eyes shone with desperation as he looked again to the door, straining his ears to hear footsteps, but none were found.
Every other person but Ray could have fled seeing the falcon roaring that way, but the Chinese blader knew better: Bryan was as nervous as he himself was, and this was the only way he knew to show it.
The lilac haired blader was fuming with repressed energy. It was already sunset, and he wasn't still back. The day-out was, well, out, and he wasn't home yet! Okay, okay, Tala was always late when it went to fun around with his best friend, Kai, but today...
It took him five years to accept -not realize, that took no time- he loved Tala. It took five years to him, five months to Ray to make him confess. And he had accepted it.
He finally accepted he loved Tala.
It was hard to admit it, since in all his childhood people kept teaching him to have no emotions and no feelings. But now he had decided to close forever the bond with his past, and restart a new life with Tala and the others, now that Ray was there too.
It was thanks to Ray he finally admitted it. And after the morning, he knew the stoic red head had feelings for him too. The captain of the former Demolition Boys kept acting strange around him in the last months, even if Bryan didn't realize that until today.
He was like he was in daze.
After three months spent in denial and two months spent in drooling on him, Bryan was sure of his feelings. The last year was a really fun one, passed with his friends and the Neko-jinn who actually became one of them.
Fuck, fuck, fuck" again Bryan stomped hard his foot on the floor. Where are you Tala?!
That was his day, no one was gonna ruin it any way. He had reserved a table at the restaurant for two, planning all the night. Okay, maybe it was lame and too sappy, and it clashed terribly with his usual behaviour, but he deserved it.
The only thing he needed now was...
Tala.
Would the fucking hot bishie came back? Didn't Tala knew Bryan was waiting for him?
ÔOf course he doesn't know' the lilac haired blader scolded himself. But that thought couldn't help him calm down. He was sweating and he was in panic.
How much Love likes to mess things up...
Calm down, Bry" Ray shrieked, now on the verge of panic he too. It's only seven o' clock for God's sake! They'll be there in no time!
Ray's perceptive hearing warn him someone was outside the door, and he knew istantaneously it was Kai. He felt his scent came over to him from under the door, and he knew too well the pace the stoic balder used. He actually memorized all the little things about Kai he loved. Together with his footsteps there were Tala's own, a little faster than Kai's; both Ray and Bryan looked at the door, their eyes widened but they soon recollected themselves.
They breathed heavily and faked indifference when the door opened revealing an actually smiling Phoenix with a similar smiling Wolf. Kai looked down at the Chinese blader with a little grin then he sat near him with a slow motion, Tala following him near Bryan.
Ray... I need to tell you something, and Tala too, Bryan" Kai's voice was a little unsteady.
The tiger's heart fastened, but he tried against odds to remain calm.
Yes, Kai?" he felt proud of himself because his voice remained cool and revealed nothing about his inner turmoil.
Ray, Bryan" both Tala and Kai started. We are... in love" their voices unsure.
Ray beamed inside and outside, and Bryan smiled, waiting for what had to come...
We are in love with each other" they ended.
Oh, Kai, you can't know how happy I am..." Ray cried out at the same time with Bryan's Tala I'm really happy you finally told that and...
They both stopped dead in their tracks as the words replayed inside their minds.
With... each other.
Tala and Kai were in love... with each other.
Kai loved Tala, Ray thought.
Tala loved Kai, Bryan thought.
Blind to their friends' frozen state Tala and Kai looked at each other half shocked, but at the same relieved and confused.
So you have nothing to complain about it?" Tala asked unsure.
You are our best friends" Kai added, looking at Ray. We really want you to remain this even if we are not straight...
So that was it. They wanted to tell them they loved each other but they feared Bryan and Ray not to be okay with it, to be homofobic or else.
Ray felt his mind light as he heard himself say in a cheering voice Of course we're happy, you two are a perfect couple!", as his lips curled up in a smile.
Yeah, we're glad you finally told us" added Bryan in the same way.
Tala and Kai smiled brightly, feeling considerably lighter now they finally revealed their friends the truth.
Tala hugged Bryan tightly and Kai hugged Ray, showing them they had appreciated their words, then Kai smiled. We're going out" he said, his hand in Tala's.
You can't know how hard it was for us to reveal to you this... just thanks" and with that Tala and Kai left, closing the door behind their shoulders.
Ray blinked twice, still sitting on the window's frame, and Bryan remained near him too shocked to move.
They weren't shocked anymore by Tala's and Kai's words, but by themselves... because they didn't felt bad or sad or angry.
They didn't felt the terrible void inside their hearts like everyone who was dumped by their love would have felt.
Instead, both where almost happy, and that was what shocked them most. Their loves revealed them they loved someone elses, and they were happy for them.
Bryan and Ray remained there in the room in silence, trying to understand their feelings and their thoughts, both not reaching a satisfying conclusion.
Bryan glanced at Ray, his eyes catching the delicate features of his friend and the way the hair fell on his frame, almost like a fallen angel, and without knowing the cause he blushed slightly.
Ray felt the other's eyes on him and looked at him, thinking the falcon's eyes were really beautiful in the last rays of the falling sun. He felt himself blush without knowing why.
Bryan met Ray's eyes and felt his heart speed up again. Why was that happening... now?
You know" the Falcon didn't know why his voice was sounding so bird-like or why it was so difficult to talk to Ray now. I still have a two-people reserved table at the restaurant. It's a waste if no one uses it".
Looking at each other's eyes they finally realize the astonishing truth: they weren't in love with Kai and Tala.
They believed they were because both respected their leaders to the maximum, and maybe they actually loved them before... but then they continued thinking they loved them when the real feeling was maybe for someone else...
You're right" Ray smiled, his cheeks tinged with red. We might as well use it".
""""""""""""""""""""""""
Tala hugged tightly Kai, as the younger boy rested his cheek on the other's chest. Tala looked down, a lovely expression on the pale face, and smiled at his koi. Kai just sighed in happiness, closing his eyes in the warm embrace.
He was feeling so good.
It seems it went out well" Tala breathed.
Kai opened his eyes again feeling the vibrations of Tala's voice through his chest and nodded slightly, looking up at him with burning crimson eyes.
From their position they could see the cold russian land around them, snow covering the mountines, the land and the trees, but it seemed the warmer thing ever existed, having their love near them. They never felt this free before, now that they had revealed to their friends their love for each other. Ian and Spencer went out easier, since they start going out together a week before, but Bryan and Ray, oblivious of the russians' love were the harder to work with, since neither Kai or Tala knew if they were straight or not or homofobic.
Deep inside I knew it was gonna be okay for them" Kai whispered, snuggling deeper into his lover's arms.
What?" Tala glared at Kai with a raised eyebrow, keeping the younger teen one arm away from him. But it was you who feared the worse!
Kai pouted, feeling the warmth flew away from his body as he tried desperately to return into the nice embrace with Tala blocking him. Yeah, okay, it was me, fine? I feared the worse" he growled in resignation.
He was so cute Tala couldn't help but smile and lean down to kiss him, their lips colliding with love and passion, their eyes closed and their fingers curling around each other. Kai moaned wanting more of it letting the other enter his mouth, and Tala smirked in the kiss, enjoying his taste.
No sleep tonight.

Bryan stomped his foot on the ground with an angered expression, looking both mad and disappointed and at the same worried. His clear and bright eyes shone with desperation as he looked again to the door, straining his ears to hear footsteps, but none were found.
Every other person but Ray could have fled seeing the falcon roaring that way, but the Chinese blader knew better: Bryan was as nervous as he himself was, and this was the only way he knew to show it.

He felt his scent came over to him from under the door, and he knew too well the pace the stoic balder used. He actually memorized all the little things about Kai he loved. Together with his footsteps there were Tala's own, a little faster than Kai's; both Ray and Bryan looked at the door, their eyes widened but they soon recollected themselves.
They breathed heavily and faked indifference when the door opened revealing an actually smiling Phoenix with a similar smiling Wolf. Kai looked down at the Chinese blader with a little grin then he sat near him with a slow motion, Tala following him near Bryan.
Ray... I need to tell you something, and Tala too, Bryan" Kai's voice was a little unsteady.
The tiger's heart fastened, but he tried against odds to remain calm.
Yes, Kai?" he felt proud of himself because his voice remained cool and revealed nothing about his inner turmoil.
Ray, Bryan" both Tala and Kai started. We are... in love" their voices unsure.
Ray beamed inside and outside, and Bryan smiled, waiting for what had to come...
We are in love with each other" they ended.
Oh, Kai, you can't know how happy I am..." Ray cried out at the same time with Bryan's Tala I'm really happy you finally told that and...
They both stopped dead in their tracks as the words replayed inside their minds.
With... each other.
Tala and Kai were in love... with each other.
Kai loved Tala, Ray thought.
Tala loved Kai, Bryan thought.
Blind to their friends' frozen state Tala and Kai looked at each other half shocked, but at the same relieved and confused.
So you have nothing to complain about it?" Tala asked unsure.
You are our best friends" Kai added, looking at Ray. We really want you to remain this even if we are not straight...
So that was it. They wanted to tell them they loved each other but they feared Bryan and Ray not to be okay with it, to be homofobic or else.
Ray felt his mind light as he heard himself say in a cheering voice Of course we're happy, you two are a perfect couple!", as his lips curled up in a smile.
Yeah, we're glad you finally told us" added Bryan in the same way.
Tala and Kai smiled brightly, feeling considerably lighter now they finally revealed their friends the truth.
Tala hugged Bryan tightly and Kai hugged Ray, showing them they had appreciated their words, then Kai smiled. We're going out" he said, his hand in Tala's.
You can't know how hard it was for us to reveal to you this... just thanks" and with that Tala and Kai left, closing the door behind their shoulders.
Ray blinked twice, still sitting on the window's frame, and Bryan remained near him too shocked to move.
They weren't shocked anymore by Tala's and Kai's words, but by themselves... because they didn't felt bad or sad or angry.
They didn't felt the terrible void inside their hearts like everyone who was dumped by their love would have felt.
Instead, both where almost happy, and that was what shocked them most. Their loves revealed them they loved someone elses, and they were happy for them.
Bryan and Ray remained there in the room in silence, trying to understand their feelings and their thoughts, both not reaching a satisfying conclusion.
Bryan glanced at Ray, his eyes catching the delicate features of his friend and the way the hair fell on his frame, almost like a fallen angel, and without knowing the cause he blushed slightly.
Ray felt the other's eyes on him and looked at him, thinking the falcon's eyes were really beautiful in the last rays of the falling sun. He felt himself blush without knowing why.
Bryan met Ray's eyes and felt his heart speed up again. Why was that happening... now?
You know" the Falcon didn't know why his voice was sounding so bird-like or why it was so difficult to talk to Ray now. I still have a two-people reserved table at the restaurant. It's a waste if no one uses it".
Looking at each other's eyes they finally realize the astonishing truth: they weren't in love with Kai and Tala.
They believed they were because both respected their leaders to the maximum, and maybe they actually loved them before... but then they continued thinking they loved them when the real feeling was maybe for someone else...
You're right" Ray smiled, his cheeks tinged with red. We might as well use it".
""""""""""""""""""""""""
Tala hugged tightly Kai, as the younger boy rested his cheek on the other's chest. Tala looked down, a lovely expression on the pale face, and smiled at his koi. Kai just sighed in happiness, closing his eyes in the warm embrace.
He was feeling so good.
It seems it went out well" Tala breathed.
Kai opened his eyes again feeling the vibrations of Tala's voice through his chest and nodded slightly, looking up at him with burning crimson eyes.
From their position they could see the cold russian land around them, snow covering the mountines, the land and the trees, but it seemed the warmer thing ever existed, having their love near them. They never felt this free before, now that they had revealed to their friends their love for each other. Ian and Spencer went out easier, since they start going out together a week before, but Bryan and Ray, oblivious of the russians' love were the harder to work with, since neither Kai or Tala knew if they were straight or not or homofobic.
Deep inside I knew it was gonna be okay for them" Kai whispered, snuggling deeper into his lover's arms.
What?" Tala glared at Kai with a raised eyebrow, keeping the younger teen one arm away from him. But it was you who feared the worse!
Kai pouted, feeling the warmth flew away from his body as he tried desperately to return into the nice embrace with Tala blocking him. Yeah, okay, it was me, fine? I feared the worse" he growled in resignation.
He was so cute Tala couldn't help but smile and lean down to kiss him, their lips colliding with love and passion, their eyes closed and their fingers curling around each other. Kai moaned wanting more of it letting the other enter his mouth, and Tala smirked in the kiss, enjoying his taste.
No sleep tonight.
