...I...Okay, to be honest, I've been having a writer block...still have it in a way actually...
Special thank to my friend TasogareSheena for without her I wouldn't have been able to finish this story! ^^ Thanks TS!

And of course, I must not forget all those lovely readers for favoring, putting on alert or just plain reading! ^^ Love you all!
Oh. And it's short. A drabble I suppose...or a short One Shot?...err. Okay. That's it! Can someone tell me what a drabble is? I get an idea of what it is, but seriously, tell what me a drabble exactly is and don't just let me"have an idea" of what it is for the rest of my life.
Today's word : Cocky.
Warning: Shounen-ai (KaTyKa). Rated T...or M...I don't know...Something between T and M maybe? I've never been good with the ratings...
Disclaimer : Despite the fact that I don't own Beyblade or its likeness, I do own this story, though I don't get money from it.
Sorry for whatever mistakes you'll see. Feel free to correct me. I won't bitch you for trying to help me you know. ;D
Hope you enjoy.
A Word for a Tale
Cocky
The five of them froze as soon as the door opened.
While Rei just stared wide eyed at the scene before him, Kyoujyu was trying his best to not let his laptop crash on the floor from the sudden lack of strength and Max openly gaped and pointed at the two before them.
There they were, on the bed, looking...err, less than appropriate to public eyes.
One seemed ready to kill and in the same time looked mortified to be seen, the other had a smug, though somewhat sheepish, expression on. But both of them were sporting a blush and staring at the three in the door frame.
Awkward silence.
Suddenly everyone snapped out of their stupor.
"Err..."
"Wha-You-Wh-What?!"
"Holy. Moley."
"..."
"Hum, hi guys?"
Everyone didn't know what to say though.
After a while, Rei just diverted his gaze from his friends, not wanting see more than he already had.
Despite knowing that he'll grin mischievously and mercilessly tease them in the near future after today's event, right now, he didn't want to do anything other than flee the room as far and as fast as his legs could possibly let him.
Especially when his sharp eyes and ears caught a slight brush of tanned fingers over the pale chest and a nearly inaudible sharp intake of breath.
Stumbling on such situation with complete strangers would have been awkward and also incredibly weird, but stumbling on such situation with close friends and rivals of his was totally on a whole new level of awkwardness and weirdness.
Yes, Rei wished to not be there at all.
A strangled shriek gained his attention and he turned to the source of the sound.
Ahh.
It was Kyoujyu.
Poor kid.
His laptop was slipping more and more from his desperate grasp while Kyoujyu still stared at the duo before them, red faced and his eyes so wide that someone could actually see them. He looked horrified at being the witness of such scene.
All of them had an idea something like that would happen sooner or later. After all, they already knew of the relation between the two teens. But there was a distinct difference between speculating and the real situation on hand.
A distinct difference of the size of Takao's accumulated undone homework.
The raven risked a glance at Takao and Kai on the bed.
The latter was straddling the other's hip while his legs were positioned so the teen underneath couldn't move his own legs. Though Takao was the one trapped under his boyfriend's body, Rei could see he was far from unresponsive if the hand on Kai's belt and the few hickeys on the pale skin were of any indication.
The blue eyed teen was blushing and grinning, but where his grin was sheepish and somehow apologetic – probably directed to Kai – his eyes were half-lidded with lust along with a spark that was often seen in the blader when before a challenge. It was almost feral.
The expression Kai had was unusual on the normally stoic blader. He was blushing too, but unlike Takao, he looked annoyed and...embarrassed? It was a strange sight to see...well, not as strange as how the three of them found them at first.
The couple was still staring at them.
Rei then slowly looked at his blond friend to see his reaction.
Max was, in a word, traumatized.
While his brain seemed to still try to assimilate that small new piece of knowledge on his friends' sexual life – which he absolutely didn't need or want to know more than he should – his body went into a state of shock and did everything to cope with that new discovery; gaping and pointing, as if it would help.
Takao was his best friend. The brother he never had. They laughed together, bladed together...Alright, he did the same with the others too, but the midnight haired teen and he were nearly always on the same wavelength for Draciel's sake!
Kai, on the other hand, was someone he had a great deal of respect for, both as a blader and person, and to some extend even admired him. Heck, Max could even say Kai was like an older brother figure to him!
So seeing his two friends - both of them topless too – in a compromising position, he couldn't help but think about how disturbing that image was. It was just as horrifying as catching one's parents in the act.
The blond shuddered at his own thought.
Then his blue eyes locked with two golden ones before landing on the brunette beside him.
Kyoujyu was now beginning to pale and shake considerably. The experience was probably far more traumatizing for him than the others. If Rei or Max weren't as disturbed as they were now, they would have tried to calm him.
Blue orbs watched the three teen calmly. Takao wondered how long it would take before his friends moved. Hesitantly, he decided to say something. "Err, can we help you guys?"
Suddenly, Kyoujyu regained his strength and clutched his laptop to his chest before letting out a squeak and making a mad dash to the front door, leaving the other four were they were.
Another awkward silence.
The midnight haired teen found it amusing now that he got over the strangeness of the situation.
Then he kissed Kai's neck just to see what would happen.
He felt a sting on his side. Kai just pinched him. He couldn't help but find it more amusing.
Max stayed where he was a couple more of second, shifting uncomfortably on place, before backing away from the door frame. As he walked away, the three teens could make out some words the blond said.
It sounded suspiciously like something along the lines of "having nightmare for awhile" and "washing my brain with bleach."
Rei was out the room, but still near the door frame and was looking back and forth inside the room and the outside. He had a thoughtful expression as if he wanted to say something. He opened his mouth but then closed it, shaking his head. Then the raven decided to follow suit, thinking about how great an idea it was to leave for now, but not before adding, "Lock the door next time guys." and closing the door behind him.
As the sound of soft steps faded away and the sound of a door opening and closing was heard, the remaining teens slowly turned their stares away from the door to each other.
The awkwardness was still present even with their friends gone.
After a relatively short silence between the two, Kai closed his eyes and sighed and Takao snorted trying to hold in his laugh – failing miserably too.
Then a question suddenly came to the laughing teen.
"Hey, Kai."
"Hn?"
"Does it mean we can continue what we were doing?"
A pillow threw at his face was his answer.
"Don't get cocky, Kinomiya."
THE END
Okay, coming back a little on the fic. There was a part where Max said he considered Kai like an older brother figure, right? Well, a thought passed me when I did that. To me, Kai is younger...Actually, Kai IS younger. Younger than Rei, younger than Max and younger than Takao. I won't give you proof or anything, because I don't want to argue (even if I actually wanted to argue, I wouldn't know where to find those damned proof) with anyone on that. I'm just telling you that to me, he is younger. To you, he is older? Fine. But to me, he is younger. Either way, Kai Hiwatari is still Kai Hiwatari. Soooooooooo~
No arguing, nothing. Got it?
I just wanted to make it clear. It doesn't change anything with my fics. I mean, while writing my first fic, in my mind, Kai was the youngest. When I wrote A Word for a Tale, in my mind, Kai was the youngest too just like when I began Wish Upon the Moon. See? Doesn't change anything. I'm just telling you now just in case someday I write "the younger teen" so you can know who I'm talking about...right, stopping that author note before it's longer than the fic itself.
Hope you enjoyed! ^^ Thanks for reading!
