How do you tell when your in love? Is there a little sign over the persons head or is it more of an instinct? Personally I never thought I would know, nor care. There was so much better things to keep my mind on. But seeing him for the first time it shattered that exterior I worked so hard on. His black hair and brilliant gold piercing eyes jabbing straight into my soul. Every time he looked away my heart seemed to shatter, it practically felt like he controlled me. Ah yes, so this is what love felt like.
I was walking towards Tyson's grandpa's, that's where he had told all of us to meet so we could talk about the upcoming battle. Lately, that's all we've been doing, talk about battles at Tyson's, practice then go home and do it again. Even I had to stifle a complain or two.
"Hey, Kai!" Rai's beautiful voice wrapped around me, I glanced over my shoulder and saw him running up the small hill waving his arm with his smile planted on his face.
"Hey".
"Excited for today's meeting?" he winked when he caught up. Even his calm exterior sometimes faltered.
I rolled my eyes,"Ecstatic".
We continued going up the path in silence. These are the times I enjoyed. He knew how much I hated talking, so he would stay quite and only speak up when it was something important. I liked being by him like this, we never actually had to say anything, it felt like our souls had already said everything they had with that brief encounter. Like we were connected from years and years ago. Knowing each other like the back of our hands.
"So are you going to just head home after?" his voice brought me back to reality.
"Uh -"
"If you are then never mind".
"Wait -"
"I don't want to bother you". I turned to face him and grabbed his shoulders shaking him slightly. "Will you give me a chance to speak!".
He was easy to read, his wide eyes said it all. He wasn't expecting me to go off like that. I wasn't expecting it either. But from going through these conflicting feelings for so long, I got use to it. He made me do it.
"Okay, start from the beginning," I sighed and dropped my hands to my side. We stood face to face for along time, then his finally broke giving off that light pink color flush his face. He broke our gaze and looked down.
"I was just wondering..."
"Yeah," I probed raising an eyebrow.
"Wanna hang out tonight? After the meeting and practice and everything?" His eyes were back on mine and that funny sensation filled my body.
Of course on the outside I remained calm, but on the inside I was panicking! I'm a human just like anyone else, of course I would !
"What did you have in mind?"
"Well, it would be kind of late to do anything. Maybe swing by my place and play video games?"
I sure hope I wasn't blushing. That was such a breathtaking offer ! Of course I wanted to go to his house ! But my stupid nerves kept pulling me back. You'll ruin your friendship, they nagged. It was bad enough that I felt this way towards another male, I didn't need any other 'helping' voices.
"That sounds like fun," I said and his eyes sparked up. Then it hit me. He liked me too, he had to ! I'm never been good at this kind of stuff, but it was something that – I think – came naturally to humans.
"So your up for it?" he smiled, he actually sounded a lot happier.
I tried to soften my features as much as possible, lifting up and my hand I grabbed his shoulder.
"Of course". He smiled up at me and I let my hand drop and we – once again – made our way to Tyson's house.
Authors statement:
Well hell. I'm not much into BeyBlade, but my two friends are crazy about it, so I thought I'll write them up a couple chapters of their favorite pairing! So this is a one/shot - that lasts two chapters.
I'm not even sure if I got his personality right, and writting a stone, cold hard guy is tough in first person, but thats kind of my favorite way to write so I wanted to try the challenge !
Reveiw and comment.
Thanks!
