After a few knocks, I stuck my head in the famous beyblader''s doorway. "Kai, are you in here?"
Sure enough, he was sitting with his back to the door, fiddling with his beyblade. I sighed. Of course. What else would he be doing?
He grunted in a reply.
I looked at his back, wondering what I see in him. Ever since we'd started dating, I was pushed to the side. But I stayed. I'd given him every part of me, and I didn't want to lose that. But standing here, staring at him, I couldn't feel the erratic beating that had become familiar to me.
I sighed again, working up the courage to ask what I'd come to. It didn't really pay. I wasn't holding my breath on the account of him actually coming with me. "I'm going out to get ice cream, and I figured you might want a break."
"Can't," his answer was immediate, and straight to the point.
Another sigh. "I figured. But I thought I'd ask." I turned away, putting my hand on the doorknob. As an afterthought, to myself, really, I added, "Maybe I'll ask Ray. He might come with me."
With an insane amount of force I couldn't help but enjoy, I was forcibly shoved up against the door, slamming it closed. Kai's lips shoved themselves against mine and he buried his fingers in my hair.
There it was, that familiar heartbeat again. I kissed him back with just as much fever, my lips molding to his. My legs felt weak and I couldn't think. A low moan I was unable to contain rumbled in my chest. Fire spread throughout my body, and all too soon, he pulled away and rested his forehead against mine.
"You are mine. Don't forget that. Don't let Kon forget that either."
He pulled away and returned to his desk.
Though my heart had skipped at You are mine, I realized that I had been hoping, for a tiny second that he had been willing to come with me. To spend time with me. It's been days, weeks since he'd touched me so intimately, and all he's really worried about is calling me his. I was his. If this is how he treats things that are his, well maybe-
I stopped myself before I could finish that thought and left the room, being sure to slam the door on the way out.
I let myself fall against the wall, tears burning a trail through my eyes. I was tired. So tired, and so lonely. I sought out the only other person who would make me happy. Slowly but surely, I realized that in our relationship, I was growing to truly hate being Kai's girlfriend, and in our friendship, I was starting to truly appreciate Ray.
