Chapter One
"Stop it, Valkov." Kai snapped unsure what to do as the redhead continued to annoy him. The fact that they were in a huge hall with the other teams – all quite close – did not help the situation. Looking at Tala would only confused people as he had a small smirk, but no reason to be doing so. That was until someone looked under the table to see Tala stroking the younger boy's inner thigh.
"No – you're enjoying it too much." Tala whispered back, acting normal and taking a slice of bread to eventually dip into the bland soup that was being served to everyone. Kai didn't know what to do as since he had turned eighteen, Tala had been doing things like this…
"I'm not interested now stop it!" Kai grabbed the older boys wrist and pushed it away hoping that the redhead would get the message. The problem was that he couldn't say he was being harassed since then he would need to prove it and Tala would probably end up embarrassing him even more. How Kai hates his pride at times.
Tala chuckled lightly at how annoyed the younger teenager got, and couldn't help but feel quite satisfied at how flustered he had made Kai become. On the other hand Kai regretting coming back to the Demolition Boys. He wondered if it would matter if he just suddenly dropped out of this tournament…anything to get away from the redhead.
It had begun only a few days ago, whether it was just a few snide comments or 'accidentally' bumping into him. Then when Kai had decided he had had enough, confronted the team-captain and told him where to go. It ended up that Kai had a new reason to wear his white scarf…
Trying again to stop Tala from fondling him in the middle of such a public place, Kai tried to threaten him. "Tala, if you don't stop being so…touchy-feely…I will--." However it backfired and only made Kai even more edgy about being next to Tala.
"—get turned on?" The small smirk had turned more predatory and Kai couldn't help but gulp as he noticed Tala narrowing his eyes, that only meant that he was planning something, and it usually meant something bad for the blue-haired teenager.
"Tala – If you don't stop it I really will leave the team." His face dropped and he scowled, turning back to his food and ended up, reluctantly, taking his hand away from Kai's thigh. Kai sighed in relief and wondered if any of this went unnoticed. The table was filled with the most anti-sociable people ever: Spencer, Rick, Miguel, Tala, Kai, and Bryan not exactly the happiest bunch ever.
Throughout the welcoming dinner Kai continued to make sure he had his legs crossed, hoping to get as far away from Tala as possible. Not paying attention to the others around him, he ended up involved in a discussion that he was not up for discussing. "So, Hiwatari, is it true?" It was then that Kai was aware that everyone at the table was looking at him, staring at him intently. Kai sighed and wondered why on earth he had to be flung into this seating arrangement.
"Is what true?" He frowned as he saw Rick and Miguel exchange smirks, likewise with the rest of the Demolition Boys. Kai suddenly realised that it was one of these days where he wanted time itself to stop and the ground to swallow him up.
"That you've never been on a date." Kai kept his eyes on Bryan, who was the person bold enough to actually re-state the question. Kai was sure he was a sadist or something along the lines of that.
"Dating is pointless." Kai replied bluntly hoping that this would end up causing an argument and then the focus could be off him, just for him to finish the food in front of him and leave. Although, whichever Supreme Being it was up there…did not want Kai to leave so easily and Rick ended up trying to ask another personal question.
"So then you've never sha--." It was all to much for Kai to bare, having people he didn't necessary trust know that kind of thing about him and so ended up making up a quick remark just so he could leave.
"I guess you've never heard of a one-night stand?" Kai took a quick glance at the others though they didn't seem too convinced by what he was saying. Everyone glanced at one another for a moment but eventually Spencer said something.
"Prove it."
Kai would have sighed but he knew he had to act confident, especially because of the suspicion at the table. "Why do you think I have so many fans?" With that Kai left and he knew that there would end up being a rumour about this and he would be questioned by some news reporter. Then some sick girl would come on television and say she was having his baby.
Sighing lowly he muttered a few curses, hoping that they would stick to everyone that had questioned him about his…preferences. It had ended up in the news about how he may have been asexual because he hadn't had a girlfriend that the media knew of which only made the fans even more desperate to marry him.
Forget Alpha Male, god damned cold hearted, loner of a virgin. Kai shivered at the very word, he hadn't been interested when he should have and now that he was legal he just couldn't be bothered to find someone and then woo them to do something he wasn't certain about. How he hated himself.
"I did'nae 'hink cold-blooded creatures could feel the cold." Kai frowned as he turned to see another blader but one he had never seen before. His hair was a dusty golden, with lazy bangs covering one eye. The boy had dark brown eyes, until they were almost beady black.
"That suggests why you aren't." The boy smirked and inclined his head, taking Kai's comment as his harsh humour. Everything about that night had gone wrong; Kai had to sit next to Tala; had to actually eat in front of people; and last of all was accused – correctly – of being a virgin…
"'m Aidan. Nice tae meet yer'." Kai watched the boy, he obviously wasn't from around here – and most definitely from Scotland. Maybe he knew Johnny then again that didn't explain why he was here?
"Yer that Kai bloke aint' yah?" Kai nodded, fascinated by the others dialect, why didn't Johnny ever speak like that, with a strong Glaswegian accent. "Sorry, did'nae mean tae get-aff own the wrang foot."
"Whatever." Kai turned away from the blonde, but couldn't help but look over his shoulder when he heard the other laugh loudly. "What do you want?"
"Ma heads burstin', gessa break." The boy wandered up and stood next to Kai, who was very tempted to hit him if he didn't start making a little more sense.
"You have a headache…big deal. I don't care." Kai looked at what the teenager had in his hand which happened to be white wine and thought about what he was saying. He didn't care if the boy had a headache all he wanted to do was get out of this party. Again the boy laughed.
"Yer' smahsin', wan'tae get aff way me?" The boy smiled as Kai seemed completely lost. Aidan moved closer but Kai continued to move away, taking a step back any time he moved forward – that was until he felt something hit his waist.
Author's Note: How many people were confused by dear Aidan? Well sorry that's just the glasgow dialect. I'll put a translation next to it if it really is confusing people. Anyone know what Adian's asking for ? Well please leave a review so I can see if there's any point in continuing this...
Sorry it was so short, promise the next one will be MUCH longer, that is if anyone wants me to continue.
