Well I'm an avid reader of beyblade fic's...as well as having watched the series' about oh I don't know...400 times over...is that bad?
Misconception
By Mcvities22
There's always a little truth behind 'just kidding', a little knowledge behind 'I don't know' and a little emotion behind 'I don't care'.
Every time Tyson makes a crack at one of us he'll say he's just kidding but I can see in his eyes that that's not always true...he just doesn't want us to think bad of him if he says something we don't like. He doesn't realise that he hurts us more by not being honest with us. So when people say that he never takes anything seriously I just roll my eyes and defend him, knowing that he's just too scared to be honest.
You'll often hear the words 'I don't know' coming from Max. When Kenny talks about strategies and such he'll turn to us for our opinion and Max will respond with his usual 'I don't know'. Why he does it I can't be sure. Part of me thinks that – like Tyson – he doesn't want us to think badly of him if he disagrees with us, but...another part of me thinks that he's embarrassed. Max doesn't want us to think he's weird or strange, in short the guy has no self belief. When people call him a dumb blond I have to bite my tongue, he's not a dumb blond he just has no self esteem.
Kai says 'I don't care' a LOT. And I DO mean A LOT! Hell if I had to guess I'd say you hear the words about fifty times a day, admittedly that number changes depending on how long he and Tyson are in the same room. For a while I thought it was true, that he truly didn't care...but that was before. It was before I saw him punch the kid who made Kenny cry, before I saw him carrying Daichi to bed when he fell asleep on the sofa, it was before he helped Max master his new moves, before he spent three weeks arranging Tyson's grandfather's funeral just so Tyson didn't have to...it was before I saw a lot of things. So now when people call him heartless I have to walk away so I don't explode, Kai does care...he just doesn't know how to show it to people.
"Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I have nothing to say. Just because I'm happy doesn't mean everything is okay. Just because I'm sarcastic doesn't mean I can't take life seriously. Just because I forgive doesn't mean I forget. Just because I don't listen to you doesn't mean I don't care. Just because I'm gullible doesn't mean that it's okay to lie to me. Just because I'm stubborn doesn't mean I'm not easy going. Just because I don't show my feelings doesn't mean I don't have any. Just because I don't say I love you doesn't mean I don't. Just because I'm honest doesn't mean I'm outspoken. Just because I'm unsure doesn't mean I'm afraid. Just because I'm not like you doesn't mean I'm weird."
I think this to myself each time I walk out the door, and if anyone asks why I don't judge people well...now you know.
Not sure which of my six brain cells thought that one up but hey! Enjoy!
