~Giving Up Meat~
.A Short Comedy Piece.

Brief:
Kai and Tyson give up meat for lent (40 days and 40 nights).

Watching his captain crunch on his salad, Tyson deliberately made a scene as he chewed on his chicken burger loudly. But after a few minutes of silence between the competitive pair, Tyson started to get slightly irritated by the fact that he knew that Kai was ignoring him on purpose.

"Urgh, fine. I will just say it." The dark haired male piped up with his mouthful, "How can you sit there and eat that rabbit food without any protein in there? It's boring just to look at."

Not surprised with the honesty, Kai swallowed the greens in his mouth and he looked up to his teammate. "Why does this bother you?" He questioned in a cold tone. Kai just didn't understand why this would bother Tyson in the first place. Kai was eating healthily

"Well, you always give us hell for not eating the right foods Kai. So I think you should eat more meat..."

'I give you grief because you eat crap! You drink Coca-Cola. Then you decide to purchase take-aways, like chicken burgers! I think he's the only athlete in the world who doesn't take his diet seriously.' - Kai thought to himself, refusing to speak the truth.

"Hn." He refused to comment and stabbed his fork into his salad to continue eating.

"You can't enjoy that, seriously." Tyson went on before swallowing the last of his chicken burger. "It looks like you're going vegatarian Kai."

The phoenix prince snarled, "Who cares if I am? Urgh, Tyson I'm thinking about going vegatarian for lent. Now will you piss off?"

"You're give up meat for lent? I bet I could manage that. It sounds easy! After all, I am a man who loves his food."

Eyeing the cocky champion like he was a piece of vermin, Kai munched on the last of his salad before placing his lid back onto his lunchbox to seal it closed. "If you really think so, then prove it." Was all he could reply as he then stood up from the table to grab himself a glass of cold water.

Tyson then chirped with excitement, "I eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Fine, let's do this. Kai, let's give up meat for lent together." He completely ignored the blank expression on his captain's face.

"Huh?" Kai froze as he switched on the cold water tap, "What?"

The Dragoon wielder then slid across the dojo kitchen floor to stand beside Kai and he flashed him a challenging smile. "Starting March the 1st, we are going vegatarian for 40 days and 40 nights." He exclaimed with a sparkle of confidence echoing within his innocent brown eyes.

Unsure wether this was a good idea, the Russian just closed his eyes and held his glass under the running cold water to fill it up. He didn't speak another word for a short while, especially when he knew that Tyson was allowing his ego to take his tongue as hostage.

"The loser will have to take a bite of a raw piece of stake, whilst being recorded."

'Why not add a dozen raw eggs too?' - Kai wanted to add, but he kept his mouthshut.

The amusing part was that Kai was going to make sure this challenge was put into place. He wasn't going to back down now and everyone on the team knew that Tyson wasn't a big fan of eating 'rabbit food', so Kai had a huge advantage in this situation.

"I'm so gonna do this."

"Good, because so am I."

The Japanese male then paused for a second; he really couldn't believe what he'd just heard. "Are you being serious?" He muttered with regret dwelling in the pit of his stomach. Tyson had just realised what he'd done and he swallowed the last of the saliva in his mouth harshly.

"Even though Lent is a Christian tradition, I am intrigued to see a Buddhist experience this..."

"Oh cut the crap Kai." Tyson snapped as he watched his rival flash a devilish grin. "This is nothing to do with religion, it's about gaining some experience in life..."

"Yet you still find a way to transform this 'experience' into a competition." Kai fired back and instantly shut down the argument. "Lent begins tomorrow, so I think it's time we went shopping for some vegatables Tyson because you only eat shit."

A light growl left Tyson's lips and he reached out his hand to switch off the water tap because Kai's glass was now overflowing – he hadn't been paying attention and this was a secret dig at Kai.

"I'll tell you what then, I will buy all the vegatables and we can go shopping together first thing tomorrow morning to get us motivated for this. What do you say 'buddy?'"

"Done." Kai shrugged and opened his eyes. "Make the most of your meat Tyson because it's not easy."

"Pft," Tyson folded his arms and scowled, "And when we are shopping, I am pushing the trolley around the store."

The Russian wanted to burst out laughing, but he just gulped the last of his water and made his way out of the kitchen to end this never-ending drama. He'd had enough now, it was wasting his beyblade training time.

A/N: I originally started to give up meat for lent, but after realising that I ain't religious (clearly), I decided to make this a permanent feature in my life. But oh man have I learn't a lot about myself since going veggie, it's pretty hard, especially when your dad cooks a delicious curry or spaghetti bolognese (my favourite) and it all has fucking meat in it! So yea, I have a lot of inspiration for this short series, thank you so much for your time guys and drop me a cute comment – Granger~

P.S: I couldn't stop laughing when I wrote this fic, aw, it made me laugh so much.
