Dinner Times Two
Serie: Beyblade
Pairings: Robert/Kai
Warnings: Yaoi, fluff, mild swearing
Full Summary: Kai has left the Bladebreakers and taken over his grandfathers business (except for the abbey how has Boris written as it's owner since Voltaire never would take the risk of getting his hands dirty by owning such a company) since Voltaire was forced to give it up after the "incident" in Russia. Kai is in Germany with the D-boys partly for business and partly for a minor European tournament (no, the Bladebreakers wont compete, they wont even show up in the fic). Kai (which equals the D-boys) is invited by Oliver to dinner where he finds himself getting strange but pleasant feelings when he is around the purple haired German noble. Robert on his hand has completely fallen for the dual haired phoenix and are, in vain, trying to hide that fact from everyone. However Bryan, Tala, Johnny and Enrique decides to get them together. Will they succeed? And will they be able to do it without inflicting bodily harm?

It was a beautiful day; the sun was shining, the birds were singing and everyone was happy with life, or not.
"Do we have to go?"
"Yes"
"But I don't wanna!"
"Stop being such a cry-baby, Tala."
"I'm not a cry-baby!"
"Are too."
A lighter voice said interrupting the two deeper voices in their argument.
"Are not!"
The voice called Tala objected.
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Not!"
"Too!"
"Both of you shut up this instant!"
The third voice that earlier had been talking to the voice known as Tala interrupted the childish argument between the two other.
Everyone, welcome to the apartment of the feared, cold-hearted, murder-machines of beyblading also known as the Demolition Boys.
At the moment Tala, Ian and Kai were discussing the upcoming dinner at the Jurgen castle. Or well Tala was wining, Kai was telling him off and Ian was as usual messing around.
Those three including Bryan and Spencer were currently staying in Kai's apartment in Leipzig. (AN: Lies in west of Germany) After a run in with the youngest of the Majestic, Kai had, along with the other Russians, been invited to a dinner with the other Majestics.
--- Flashback ---
It was early evening in Leipzig and Kai was walking aimlessly around in the city trying to walk off some of his anger and irritation. Today he had yet again gotten a phone call from the local police concerning Bryan and Tala, apparently they had thought it would be a good idea to graffiti paint all of the police cars with big bright flowers as well as a rather large part of the police station. (AN: Now that is something I'd pay to see XD) (Beta: Count me in, I just pictured it!! XD)
Now the police of course didn't have any valid proof that the red-head and the lilac haired youth actually were responsible for this ahem… decoration of police property. If they had then the phoenix would have to bail his brain-dead team-mates, that he for some reason called friends, out of jail yet again.
Alright now most of the time he didn't have to bail out the two Russians, they were uncannily good at not getting caught. Something that saved him much money in cost of lawyers but it also made him wonder what things they had been up to that he didn't know about. Though on the other hand that was probably for the best.
But now back to the reason to why the police's suspicions were directed to the two bladers it was due to the very specific tags that also where sprayed on the police house and all of the cars, a wolf and a falcon. When the phoenix had heard that he had almost slapped himself, just how stupid could they get?
Though luckily the police had never been able to bind either Tala nor Bryan to any of the tags, if they had the two-toned bluenette was fairly certain that he would have to hire the best, and most expensive, lawyers he could find.
However there was something about the police that made him a bit suspicious; they seemed to have a little too much information concerning the wolf and the falcon and their activities. Which only strengthened his theory that the different police union and possibly the BBA had some sort of co-operation concerning his two team mates.
This theory had shaped itself when he had realised that where ever the Demolition Boys went for tournaments, major or minor, there was always at least a couple of police cars patrolling the streets every night, and this in cities where he knew there normally wasn't any cops out patrolling at nights. He had also done some discreet questioning and found out something very interesting; this nightly patrolling would end as suddenly as it had begun mere days after the Demolition Boys had left.
He was yanked out of his thought when a colourful mass of green, red, blue and yellow crashed into him sending both of them onto the dirty pavement.
"My deepest apologizes, I'm terribly sorry."
A familiar voice said, though with a stronger French accent than ordinary. Looking down the phoenix was greeted by the sight of the greenette unicorn from the Majestics who looked distressed and almost frightened. Realising who he had crashed into the greenette's eyes widened and his worried expression eased slightly.
"Kai!"
He exclaimed, quickly scrambling onto his feet grabbing the phoenix hand trying in aiding the bluenette to his feet.
"We need to get going, fast!"
The greenette spoken hurriedly trying to drag the phoenix along the street with him. The bluenette enigma blinked confused a couple of times at the unicorn's very uncharacteristically behaviour.
"Oliver, are you feeling alright?"
The bluenette asked a bit concerned with the unicorn's odd behaviour.
"I'm fine."
The unicorn said sounding increasingly more stressed as he kept glancing towards the direction he had come from, continuously pulling on Kai's arm to get the older teen to start walking.
Craning his neck to see whatever it was the occupied the mind of the unicorn, the phoenix allowed his gaze to sweep the street. At first he didn't spot anything out of the ordinary; the streets was almost completely empty as it was dinner time to most people. However, he quickly understood why the unicorn was in such hurry to leave as a group of trashy, scantily clothed teens in mostly dark clothes appeared at the end of the street. In other words, they were looking like the average street punks you were bound to find in most larger cities and street punks usually weren't't up to anything good and Oliver's apparent fear combined with the youth's sadistic looks towards the unicorn gave Kai a fairly good guess what they were up to.
And he didn't like it at all.
As the gang approached, the phoenix could see several of the members grin foully towards the unicorn, something that didn't help calming his already stormy emotions.
"Oi miss, found one of your little girlfriends?"
One of the larger gang members with a large amount of chains attached to his clothes yelled.
"She wont be able to help you, we'll just have double the fun."
Another one added in, this one looking pretty much like a drowned rat.
At this Kai's eyebrows started to twitch violently and his fist's turned white as he clinched his hands so hard. He hated, absolutely hated, when people commented on his feminine appearance. Something both Tala and Bryan had learned the hard way, as well as some other bladers that had thought it to be fun to tease the Russian enigma for his slender body and slim waist.
(Beta: I have no comment here, if you get what I mean... damn short memory span.. ^^''''''') (AN: I do know and don't worry X3)
By now the gang was just one street down from the two teens and Kai felt Oliver's hand start to shake and his heart went out to the poor Frenchman. As he gave the greenette's hand a firm squeeze and smiled a small reassuring smile to assure the unicorn that he was going to handle this and that he had nothing to worry about.
Turning around and waiting for the teens to approach, Kai didn't have to wait long as all scavengers pack of street hooligans moved quickly towards their prey, unfortunately for them they hadn't realised that their supposed prey was actually the predator.
As they closed up on the phoenix and the unicorn Kai stepped protectively in front of the greenette Frenchman causing the gang to snigger among themselves and the one looking like a drowned rat once again open his mouth.
"Aw missy are you going to try and protect your little friend?"
Resulting in more sniggers and laughter among the gang, the phoenix feeling the rage well forth forced himself to take deep breaths in order not to do something he might later regret. He wasn't talking about beating the living daylight out of the hooligans but to scare or taint the gentle unicorn's innocent way of seeing life.
"Leave now and I'll let you go unharmed."
A roaring laughter erupted among the gang at the phoenix statement though some of the gang members, probably those with a little more than a teaspoon-sized brain, went quiet quickly seeing the two-toned bluenette's enraged features and the oh-so-infamous Hiwatari death glare. Some of the more cowardly (or sane) also started to edge their way away from the Russian enigma.
"Oh I'm terrified, what are you going to do? Throwing your lip-gloss at me?"
A boy with a good centimetre of blonde roots to his black hair spoke. Judging from the over-exaggerated laughter's that erupted and the rather pathetic attempt to seem larger than he really was by huffing and puffing himself in this and that direction the phoenix took the conclusion that he was the leader of the gang.
"Listen, I'm really not in the mood for mindless little street rats."
Kai hissed at the 'leader'.
"Get out of my face before I do something you will be the one to regret."
"What are you going to do? Poke me with your nail file you scrawny bitch?"
Before he could do anything else, he saw a blur and then the phoenix was right in his face with a devilish smirk on his lips.
"This."
And that was the last thing the leader of the gang saw before meeting blackness.
The gang was dumb-struck that their 'strong, fearless leader' was knocked out with a single hit.
The rat like one ran at Kai from the front while another burly figured one rounded him aiming to catch him off guard.
"Kai!!!"
Oliver gasped and took few steps back in surprise; he heard of Kai's protectiveness nature but to actually witness it was something else.
The rat guy jumped and pulled his arm back for a punch, though as soon as he came within Kai's reach, his fist was blocked by Kai's left arm and before he could react, Kai switched his arm so he had a firm grip and the rat's wrist. Doing so, he flung him effortlessly to the side, where he slammed to the wall and fell unconscious.
The burly guy took his chance, thinking Kai was distracted, and flung himself at him from behind.
Sensing him, Kai did nothing but waited for the perfect moment to strike. As soon as the guy was right behind him, he threw his elbow back and buried it into his stomach. The guy's eyes widened before rolling back into his head and slumbering on the hard ground of the street.
Glancing over to the gang, Kai hissed.
"Who else wants to call me 'missy'?"
The gang 'Eep'ed, and fearing for themselves, they ran away.
(AN: My apologizes for interrupting you once again but I just want you to know that this fighting scene was written by my very talented Beta and that she is the one to praise for this part.)
Kai looked behind him to Oliver to see him with his hands over his eyes, which were shut tightly.
"You can look now Oliver."
The phoenix said softly to the unicorn who quite quickly had realized that the whole ordeal would end in some form of violence and had covered his eyes. Removing his hands from his eyes and blinking a bit timidly he looked at the bluenette Russian.
"Its over already?"
The phoenix gave a dry chuckle at the unicorns naivety and obvious surprise.
"They weren't exactly much of a resistance."
The phoenix could notice something change in the unicorns eyes the surprise turned into something that was disturbingly like awe.
"I'm so grateful for what you did, let me repay you with a home-made dinner."
Shaking his head the phoenix responded.
"There is no need to repay me in any way."
"Au contraire mon amie its absolutely necessary, I assume that you're here with the Demolition Boys?"
"Yes…"
"Excellent you're all invited. Are you free this Friday?"
"Yes but Oliver look…""Then that's settled I believe 6 would be an appropriate time. And I will take it as a personal insult towards my cooking skills if you don't show up."
The unicorn said and the Russian could see a bit of smugness in the greenette's face that was a good reason as any to accept. He definitely wouldn't want to break some of the hard earned confidence that the timid and shy greenette had built up and of course who would voluntarily miss some of Oliver's cooking?
---- End of Flashback-----
And that's how the most feared beybladers in the world ended up in a situation like this.
"Oh just shut it, Red, this way you'll get to see pony-boy without 'accidentally' bumping into him."
The falcon said bored out of the others argument, he was quite looking forwards to the dinner it would give him, if he played his cards right, endless opportunities of amusement. In other words: to cause havoc and destruction.
Turning a colour very close to his hair, Tala spluttered something inaudible before launching himself at the falcon who easily dodge the wolf's attack.
Watching Tala chase Bryan around the apartment as they both yelled rather obscene things at each other, the falcon obviously enjoying himself immensely while the wolf seemed somewhere between furious and embarrassed. Both Kai and Ian looked at each other not getting what the fuss was about, realizing that the other of them couldn't help either they turned to Spencer.
"What is all this about?"
Regarding the two most naïve persons in the team, the whale quickly contemplated whether or not he should tell them. Deciding that they would find out eventually either way and that knowing wouldn't harm their innocence, something that himself and the two other team members went to great lengths to protect. Something that some bladers had found out the hard way; the captain of the All Starz still couldn't watch one game of baseball without feeling a sense of unease after having a conversation with Tala about his unhealthy interest in the feisty phoenix for example.
"Tala is having a crush on Oliver."
"I am not!"
The red-head yelled stopping his pursuit of the falcon to quickly turn and launch himself at the blonde. The whale simply locked eyes with the wolf who mere inches for him stopped, glaring defiantly at the whale before bending his head down in submission.
"Okay, so maybe I have."
It was always like that. There was something about the whale's aura that made it impossible not to calm down or tell anything but the truth.
The phoenix and he snake exchanged looks with each other not seeing how this was the least bit interesting. Shrugging his shoulders, the purple haired snake voiced both of their opinions.
"Yeah, so?"
Looking a bit baffled, Tala managed to pronounce some choking sound before regaining control on his vocal cords.
"You're not going to tease me mercilessly?"
"Don't we always do that?"
The falcon responded in the snakes place. Considering what the lavender haired youth just had told him, the wolf realised that it was in fact very true.
"Heh… guess I never though of it that way."
He said shrugging his shoulder and scratching the back of his head sheepishly. Causing the rest of the four Russians to role their eyes skywards.
"You never think."
"Actually why did we pick you as our captain in the first place?"
"Because of my good looks, of course."
Tala said grinning smugly before all five of them burst out laughing; it was an old joke among them as neither of them really wanted to discuss the real reason to that; Tala had been chosen to lead the team during the time they had been under Biovolts control.
"Alright then can we be going now? We're going to be late otherwise."
Spencer the ever pragmatic of the five said reminding them of the fact that they had other things to attend to than amusing themselves with old anecdotes.
"Sure I just need to fix my hair a bit."
The wolf said causing the four other one to groan out loud and Ian to flop down on the floor. When Tala said that he needed to fix his hair "a bit" it meant that they would be lucky to get him out of the flat within the next hour. How people still could believe that he was straight was a mystery to all of the Demolition Boys, Tala was the very epitome of gay and still had one of the largest group of fan girls second to Kai of course. Guess that really proved once and for all that fan girls really had no brains after all who would scream their undying love to a guy that at the same time was drooling over the male paparazzi?
(AN: Sorry, I just have to butt in and say that I'm so proud of myself for that last sentence I just love it and would love to hear your opinions on it.) (Beta: *Speechless* bu-but YOU and I are both girls and we don't do that!!!!! But gotta admit it was funny.. And true to some.. lol) (AN: Maybe you don't but I wouldn't mind drooling if they were really hot ^^) (Beta: x.x)
After dragging Tala out of the bathroom with the treat of not only telling Oliver how he felt for him, but also release a picture of him with a hairstyle that only could be described as a crows nest to the media they were finally walking up towards the large entrance to Robert Jurgen's old family castle.
Being lead in and escorted to the lounge room where the Majestics were waiting for their guests by Gustav.
Waving informally to invite the Demolition-boys to take a seat, the Majestics carried on talking, what impressed the Russians was than Robert didn't stand up and did a formal presentation or at least great his guest standing, guess that proved what they had heard. That the griffin, after some rebellion against his over-controlling and very demanding parents, and also admitting to the public that he was gay had relaxed a lot in his behaviour.
Yes, it's true the noble, well-raised Robert Jurgen was in fact preferring boys rather than the girls. To say this had caused reactions would be a grave understatement; it had caused shockwaves among the nobility and royals all over Europe and it had also been a catalyst for other world famous bladers to officially "out" themselves. For an example Rei, Oliver, Max, Michael and Enrique were just some bladers that had admitted their sexual preferences to the public. Although Enrique claimed to be bisexual much to his fan girls happiness.
It had even gone so far that the purple haired griffin had been somewhat of a gay-icon almost the size of James Dean or Joan Crawford much to his own embarrassment.
However not solely good things had come out of this after being harassed with questions about his own sexual preferences and how it was to be the only straight person in the team the short fused salamander had, swearing, launched himself at a particularly annoying journalist. Luckily with good (and expensive) lawyers, everything had been solved without going to trail since Johnny had 'been provoked' to his actions. But at least no journalists questioned the red head about his sexual preferences anymore.
The falcon made a direct beeline towards the red-head to greet him with one of his head-locks, the salamanders natural short temper made him the lilac haired falcons favourite 'target'.
"This is going to be fun; I haven't bothered someone in at least half an hour and he's so cute when he… wait what the heck was that? I don't think salamander boy is cute!"
"Ha! I knew it!"
"Knew what birdbrain?""That you like Johnny its quite obvious really and don't call me birdbrain or I won't show up at you're next battle."
"I do not like that… that Scot and that's just empty words you would never ditch me when it came to it."
"Ptsch keep telling yourself that but you cant fight love. Now I need to get off and gossip about this with the others." (Beta: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL)
"What! Falborg don't you dare. You're staying here. Falborg!"However it didn't have any effect as Bryan could hear the soft rustling of feathers in the wind as the majestic wind falcon left his mind. Cursing to himself he threw himself down at the closest sofa, which just happened to be the one that also Johnny was sitting in, crossing his arms in front of his chest while thinking very dark thought and what ways he knew of cooking birds.
As soon as he had seen the falcon entering the room, Johnny had prepared himself for the inevitable headlock greeting from the lilac haired youth. It had become almost like a ritual whenever they meet no matter where, heck the guy had even jumped him in a mall! And what was worst was that no matter which ways he tried he could never escape that damned headlock.
So when the falcon just flopped down at the sofa the salamander thought at first that it was some new way of making him relax before he got jumped by the falcon. Needless to say it didn't work, the salamander just got more and more tense until he snapped.
"Well are you going to do it sometime or what?"
"What?"
The falcon snarled back he was in no mood for talking with anyone.
"That god damned nuggie you always give me, so just get it over with."
"Buzz of lizard boy."
""What! Don't you call me…"
"Call you what? Lizard boy? Well there really isn't anything you can do about it lizard boy now is it?"
The falcon snarled back in a venomous tone that would make most people back of and not come back in the nearest future. However Johnny wasn't most people and he also had a short fuse and it had been lit quite sometime ago.
Snarling he launched himself at the falcon punching him over the jaw catching the falcon of guard. Blinking in surprise, it took Bryan a second to realise what had happened before he threw himself over the red-head throwing them onto the floor where they soon where wrestling each other. Luckily for Johnny the flacon was too enraged to fight him with all his skills so that they both where on the same level.
The others in the room sweat dropped; it had only been five minutes and they were already fighting.
"Shouldn't we do something?"
The unicorn asked timidly.
"No let them be, they'll tire themselves out eventually."
The phoenix said.
"Yeah and besides there's nothing good on TV."
Smack!
"Ow! Hey that one hurt!"
"Well you deserved it Tala."
The petite bluenette said glaring at the wolf, his eyes clearly saying behave-yourself-or-else. Grumbling the wolf flopped down at a sofa, he was never allowed to have his fun. It was so unfair!
