Complicated
Disclaimer: I don't own Beyblade, nor do I own anything for that matter. I'm merely using the characters for my own writing purposes. If you want to complain, then take a quarter, and call someone who cares.
Sam here! This is my first songfic, so please, be gentle. All flames will be used to light the fire in my new fireplace! This songfic was inspired by Carolyn Dawn Johnson's "Complicated". Again, this is a Rei x Kai pairing, so I'm warning you now, it's yaoi! Well, enjoy ^_^; ((Ps- the fic didn't upload like I wanted it to, and I apologise ahead of time. Indents and italics don't seem to be working right. The song itself is in brackets.))

Without sweat even starting to pour down the side of Kai's face, he outreached his arm, his stern look not changing the slightest bit.
"Dranzer! Finish him off!" Kai hollered, gritting his teeth and narrowing his reddish brown eyes. His fire Phoenix immediately understood its master's call, and gave one finally blast at its weak opponent. Galeon, the opposing beyblade, was down for the count, and in less than thirty seconds. Kai smirked one of his triumphant smirks, then swooped down and picked up his winning beyblade.
"And the winner is Kai!" The announcement boomed over the Bey Stadium like thunder during a storm. The many cheers from the crowd, however, were enough to make the ground beneath the Beyblader's feet shake. Kai ran an easy hand through his hair, then turned on foot, and headed for his team on the sideline.
"Kai, you were amazing!" Max shouted, raising a triumphant arm into the air.
"Yeah Kai, you really showed him whose boss!" Tyson cheered as their leader came trotting across the field.
"It was nothing." He responded bluntly, stopping for a moment and looking at his team. He saw the smiles on his team-mates' faces, each one seeming to be happier than the last. But the one look on Rei's face was enough to make that battle all worth the while . . .
((I'm so scared that the way that I feel
is written all over my face . . .))
"They said it Kai! You rock!" Rei said, slamming his fist onto his hand in a victorious way. Kai held back the urge to blush, but instead solely nodded.
"Hn," he muttered, curling his hands back into fists, then turning and starting to head towards the exit.
"What a guy . . ." Tyson huffed, crossing his arms and starting to walk off the field as well. "Hey everyone! Why don't we go celebrate our victory at the nearest restaurant?"
"Of course you would suggest that," Kenny said quietly, a smile on his face.
"Yeah.sounds.good." Rei responded, not really listening. He was more focused on looking ahead, watching where Kai was going. Something about his leader was bugging him, for he seemed to be even more withdrawn from the group than usual.
Kai came to a stop around a corner. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes and leaning against a wall, his arms crossed. Why? Why do I feel this way? God dammit, this isn't right. He thought to himself, squeezing his eyes tighter. He knew the tears were bound to come, and he wanted to do anything to prevent them.
"There you are Kai," Kenny said, poking his head from around the corner. "We were all gonna go celebrate at that restaurant down the street. Did you want to come? After all, you were the one that won it for us."
"You guys shouldn't be celebrating. Tyson has a match tomorrow. He should be training his sorry ass." He snarled. Kai yet again forced back his bottled up emotions then turned his back to his friend. "Fine, I'll go, but only because I have nothing better to do. I'll meet you guys there in an hour, I have. . .some important matters to attend to." Once again, he lowered his head, then started walking ahead again.
((When you walk into the room
I wanna find a hiding place. . .))
Kai flopped onto the hotel bed and let out a long sigh.
"I don't understand it," he muttered to himself, his eyes seeming to pierce through the ceiling. "Why in God's name do I feel this way about him? He's a guy! This isn't normal. This really. . . isn't. . .normal."
"What isn't normal?" a sudden voice asked from the doorway. Kai's glance immediately shot in that direction.
Once he saw that jaunty face, his heart felt like stopping. For the first time in his entire life, he felt like running away. It was so hard, especially for him, to feel like this. But he knew that he had to stay. For it was either stay and tell Rei once and for all how he felt, or to take the coward's way out and keep it inside for good. And we all know that Kai is no coward.
((It's such a contradiction, do I lie or tell the truth? Is it fact or fiction? The way I feel for you. . .))
"Rei. . .we need to talk." Kai said abruptly, pulling himself up into a sitting position. He looked his team-mate over carefully, his sombre look still not leaving his face.
Rei looked at his leader diligently. By the look on his face, he could tell instantly that he was hiding something. But, how did he know that? It was as if Kai was a book. He could read the way he was feeling. But without saying a word, he simply nodded and took a seat beside the slate-haired teen.
No words were spoken for a quite a few moments. Kai was frantically trying to keep his glance on something else, while Rei was busy studying his leader over, desperately wanting to know what was bothering him. He tilted his head, and let out a muffled cough. After all, the silence was indeed louder than words could ever be.
((It's so complicated, I'm so frustrated. I wanna hold you close, I wanna push you away, I wanna make you go, I wanna make you stay. Should I say it? Should I tell you how I feel? Oh, I want you to know, But then again I don't, It's so complicated. . .))
"So, what is it Kai? What did you want to talk to me about?" Rei finally asked. He wasn't easily annoyed, but the silence was very awkward for him. He was a good friend to have around. But even after he spoke, there came no sound from Kai. For deep within his stone-cold heart, there was an intense battle going on. A battle between his stubborn attitude, and his true feelings.
((Oh it's so confusing, Yeah I wish you'd just confess, But think of what I'd be losing If your answer wasn't 'yes'. . .))
Kai closed his eyes tight, trying to imagine that this wasn't happening to him. But instead of picturing that, another image formed in his mind. . .
~*~~*~~*~~*~ ((Inside Kai's imagination))
"Yeah, there is something I want to talk to you about Rei. Actually, it's more of something . . .I wanted to tell you."
"Which is?" he responded, raising an eyebrow.
"I think. . .I think I like you. And as more than just a friend . . ."
Rei's eyes widened, and he quickly stood up.
"What?! Are you serious? Are you trying to tell me, that you're gay!?" he yelled out, a terrible look of disgust on his face. By the sound of his voice, Kai could tell that Rei now thought of him as some kind of monster. He grasped his hands into fists, tears making their way down his pale face. He closed his eyes, trying to stop the inevitable.
"Please Rei-Chan. . ." But before he could say anything else, he heard the sudden sound of laughter, and lots of it. When he opened his eyes, he could swear that the entire world was there, laughing at him. He saw everyone he knew; Tyson, Kenny, Max, Lee, Mariah, Robert, and Tala.literally, everyone! They were all standing there, in the blurriness of his mind, laughing at him. Their fingers extended, pointing in his direction, pointing at him. Kai grasped the side of his head, feeling like he was going insane from all the laughter.
But just as he thought it was all going to end, he saw another image of Rei, standing a few feet away from him. The look on his face showed Kai that he wasn't impressed.
"I can't believe you. You're not a leader, you're nothing but a freak . . ." he spat out, giving his supposed leader one last glare before turning around and walking into the darkness.
"Kai. . ." Came another sudden voice from, well, everywhere. His teary eyes managed to scan everywhere, looking for where the voice had come from. But to his dismay, he saw nothing in the world of eternal shadows; his imagination. "Kai!" The voice sounded again, this time, much closer. Everything seemed to go fuzzy, and unable to fight it off, he soon found himself back in the harshness of reality.
~*~~*~~*~~*~
"You still with me there, Kai?"
He opened his eyes, starring into the golden ones on his friend's face. Kai's blank expression quickly turned into one of anger, however.
((I hate it, 'Cause I've waited, So long for someone like you . . .))
"Dammit!" Kai yelled out, jumping up and forming his hand yet again into a fist. He swung it forward; punching the wall as hard as his strength would let him. The force was strong enough to make a rather large dent in the wall. "Forget it. I'll see you at dinner . . ." He mumbled, turning around and quickly heading for the door. But as he went, a single tear managed to escape from his eye and make its way down his cheek. Rei saw this, yet for some unexplained reason, he knew it was best to neither speak, nor follow after him.
There was a mystery behind Kai that no one could figure out. He decided it was for the best that Rei didn't know how he felt. After all, he was just a cold-hearted guy, and no one like him deserved to be loved. Especially by someone like Rei, someone who deserved to be normal. After all, what better way could there be to express his feelings, than by unspoken words that would never come to be.
