Hello everyone! I've made a decision. As of late I've had an appetite for outlandish!crack pairings. Why? I have no idea.

SO! Instead of creating endless oneshots for said outlandish!crack pairings I've decided to just archive them all in here! Haha! Not only does it mean I get to be lazy and not create a new story every time I decide a pairing is hot it also has an added bonus of boosting up my average words per fic which is very exciting for unknown reasons.

And so the creation of Panda's Pairs of Pairliness has come about.

Warnings: Most pairings will be boyxboy. Mostly because the Bey is hot like that. Though I will chuck in other random pairings maybe if I get the notion. Mainly just reader beware I'm not sure what I'm going to write.

Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade. Can I say it in any simpler terms?

Random Note: I love reviews, did you know that? Ok, now that that's out of the way. I also love hearing about others favourite crack pairings. If it amuses me enough I maybe might write about them. Maybe might.

Title: Past Tense

Rating: K

Genre: Romance/Tragedy

Pairing: BryanxKai (Because they're hot like that and Lainy Wolf is in love with them)

Summery: Watching over Kai is one of the few things Bryan doesn't hate.

Bryan watched over Kai.

It wasn't really by choice. It was just what he did. It was what he felt like he needed to do. Watching over Kai was one of the few things that Bryan didn't resent.

Kai was one of the few things Bryan didn't resent.

Bryan couldn't help but relish in his task of watching Kai. He would have gone as far as to say he enjoyed it but-

Bryan didn't enjoy anything.

Watching over Kai made him content. Content was the word Bryan would use.

His team knew differently. They knew why Bryan watched over Kai but didn't know how to say anything. Instead they remained silent.

Bryan watched over Kai.

He witnessed Kai's triumphs and failures. He rejoiced with each of Kai's triumphs, delighting in the sense of contentment they brought and craving for more. However, he also saw how the failures crippled the Kai and felt helpless, knowing he couldn't stop them.

He wouldn't admit that Kai was the centre of his universe. But then, he wasn't required to.

Kai already knew.

Bryan watched over Kai.

He knew everything there was to know about Kai. Everything from the contours of Kai's body to the flavours of jelly he loved and hated.

Bryan wasn't a stalker. He knew these things because Kai wanted him to.

Kai knew that Bryan watched over him but said nothing, knowing what Bryan didn't, what Bryan couldn't know.

Bryan watched over Kai.

He watched in order to protect Kai. He watched so someone was able to celebrate the triumphs and grieve for the failures- even if he never said a word.

Bryan and Kai did not often speak. The shared contentment more than words ever could. Bryan knew in that contentment what he could never learn by exchanging words

Bryan knew that he could not fight for Kai- he was not strong enough for that. Instead he watched. It was what he did.

He knew that he couldn't do anything as the cancer took Kai inexorably from him. And still he celebrated and grieved with Kai, ignoring his instinct to run from the inevitable. The pull of contentment he felt was too strong.

Kai left Bryan on a day that was like any other day. He had eaten his favourite green jelly only hours before he went. He didn't say goodbye. Bryan didn't need to hear it. He knew.

Bryan watched over Kai.

Past tense.
