Warning: Yaoi. Don't like don't read

Speaking " Dun Dun Dun"

Thinking 'Ding Ding Ding'

Tala's P.O.V

"I'm calling you at 3am and I'm Standing here right outside your door And I don' think that my heart can take much more"

Oh hello. Guess I should introduce myself right?

Well my name is Tala Ivanov. Yeah I bet you've heard of me. The captain of the Demolition Boys, the Russian team who tried taking over the world, and so on.

Well you know what? I never wanted to take over the world. It was all Boris's idea. The only reason I went along with it in the end was because I wanted to prove to Boris that I was as strong, if not stronger then his beloved Kai.

But then again, Kai is genetically perfect, and he always was better then me at everything he did. But I suppose that's one of the reasons I like him. Oh, there are lots of reasons as to why I like him but that's just one of the more important reasons. More on this later though.

Yeah, so truthfully I'm not actually all that evil, I was more manipulated by Boris and Voltaire then anything. So you can be rest assured, I'm not an evil psycho, I'm quite normal in fact.

I'm quite tall, at 5'7, and I have kinda wild red hair, with two thin bangs at the front. Yeah still have the same hairstyle. What can I say? It suits me. I got ice blue eyes, I really like my eyes, plus I've had lots of compliments on my eyes. My eye colour reminds me of Wolborg, he was the same colour almost.

I still have Wolborg, I just don't blade very much at all. I've officially retired from Beyblading, I think all of us have. I blade sometimes, by myself of course, but that's just to vent out some pent up energy.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of the guys recently. After the whole Biovolt fiasco, me and the rest of my team made truce with all the other Beyblading teams and have been good friends ever since.

Most of them have gotten together with their significant other. Tyson's with Max, Rei's with Bryan, Ian's with Spenc, Michael's with Johnny, yeah I know that was surprising, Enrique's with Oliver (yeah Enrique managed to stop flirty with girls, and only sometimes flirts with guys, much to the displeasure of Oliver) and the rest of the guys? I'm not too sure about them.

Ah so I bet you're wondering who I'm with right? I mean with my good looks I'd be guaranteed to have anyone I want right? But the sad thing is, although I've had many offers from people, the one person who I love is out of my reach. Ironic huh? Lady Luck never did like me much.

I bet your wondering who this person is? Well it's none other then the infamous captain of the Blade Breakers. Yeah that's right; it's Kai so you can close your mouths now. It isn't that surprising. I mean who wouldn't like him? There are so many good qualities about him, it's just that no one bothers to look that deep into him. Well no one apart from me of course.

But alas, he doesn't have any feelings for me. Hell, he'd probably kill me if he knew how I felt, or if he's in a good mood, he'd just hospitalise me for a while.

I finally managed to persuade him to let me share an apartment with him, saying that my work place was near his apartment and that I didn't have enough money to pay for an apartment all by myself. So I pay half the rent, and him the other. And we both normally take turns on the cooking and cleaning.

Speaking of which, I better start on the cooking! I think for today, I'll make Kai's favourite food, cheese lasagne. Last time I made this it didn't taste very nice, so I've been practising so it should taste good this time.

When I'm cooking I always love to listen to the radio. I don't know why, it just helps me cook. Like right now, I'm listening to "3am" by Busted. Its probably one of the only songs I like of theirs. It kinda relates to me and my problems.

I'm calling you at 3am and I'm Standing here right outside your door And I don' think that my heart can take much more.

Yup those two lines. Because I don't think my heart can take much more of me hiding my feelings from Kai and acting all normal. But I must, because if I don't then what little friendship me and Kai have will be lost. And I treasure that friendship between us with all my heart. I couldn't bear for him to be angry with me. I just couldn't.

Oops! I better take the lasagne out of the oven before it burns! I wouldn't want this to get ruined. I wanted Kai to like my cooking.

Speaking of Kai I just heard the door close which means he must be home. Well then, time for the show to begin!

"Hey Kai! How was your day?"

"Hn. Not very good. Dinner made?"

"Yeah it's on the table. Come on, let's eat."

Yeah that's Kai, straight to the point. Well I suppose he would be hungry, he has just worked 10 hours and I bet he hasn't even had his lunch. I'm ok like that, I only have to work 7 hours. That's why I normally make dinner, its easier for me and Kai, and plus I wouldn't want Kai to cook as soon as he gets home, I wouldn't mind making dinner everyday for Kai just so that he could come home and have a hot dinner waiting there for him.

I hope he's noticed that I've made his favourite dinner especially today. But knowing him, he probably won't.

Oh well, at least he likes my cooking. Speaking of which I better go and eat mine before it gets cold. Off to dinner it is with Mr. Ice Prince Kai!

TBC.

Well, that's it! The first chapter done!

So what didja think? Was it good? Bad?

Whatever you think please write it in your review (if you'd be so kind as to review, for which I'd be extremely grateful for) and I'll try to improve it to the best of my capabilities!

Yeah I know, the ending was kinda abrupt, but I couldn't think of anything else!

Well I hope you enjoyed reading this!

And sorry for any spelling mistakes!
