A Familiar Scent
Is this an obsession? Or a crush?
Rushing around the dojo to find a first aider, Hilary was struggling to ignore the throbbing sensation that was pulsing through her palm. It was getting more and more aggressive as the young brunette had to use both of her hands to slide open the doors.
But as her body succumb to the rush of her injury and exercise; panic began to fill inside her paranoid mind. 'What if the cut gets infected? What if I have to have stitches?!' She was getting desperate to find Ray now.
Yet just when Hilary was about to give up; she bumped into another familiar figure who was lurking around the kitchen. The bluenet male was preparing his late breakfast as he'd over slept. Tyson was supposed to meet the guys for a morning cafe date, but last nights training had shattered him to the point that he just couldn't find the energy to crawl out of his bed.
Tyson slammed the fridge door closed and Hilary bit down onto her lower lip as his innocent eyes analysed her figure. She just knew that he was going to read her like an open book~
"Oh, hey." He smiled faintly before focusing his gaze amongst her hands. "Are those, his gloves? And why are they covered in blood?!" The Dragoon wielder then dropped his food anxiously as his mind began to steer into over drive. "Did something happen to you both? Where's Kai?!"
Hilary's posture straightened and she nodded negatively, "Tyson. Nothing serious happened. I was out with Kai this morning beyblade training and I had a little accident. I was hoping to find Ray so he could inspect my wound. Actually, do you know where he is?"
A ghostly sense of relief impulsed through Tyson's toned figure and his muscles quickly unloosened. "Jeez. But, no. I don't know where the guys all went for breakfast this morning. However, I think I can help you with that problem of yours. Park your bum and I will get the first aid kit." He opened a kitchen draw to pull out the first aid and Hilary sat down at the kitchen table.
She was a little unsure about trusting the champion with his knowledge. But Hilary was willing to give Tyson a chance as Kai had previously encouraged her to do so. "Okay, but be gentle Tyson. It kinda stings." She admitted in a soft and vulnerable tone. Hilary couldn't wait to have some reassurance. She needed to settle those doubtful nerves that were sneaking up inside the back of her mind.
Yet that was all about to slide out the window when Tyson finally registered what his team manager had just explained to him. He raised an eyebrow as he opened the first aid kit to pick up "You were out with Kai? Jeez, you are getting pretty obsessed with the guy, huh?"
"I am not obsessed with Kai!" Hilary was getting very frustrated as Tyson was now chuckling amongst himself. He appeared to be very proud of himself with that comment and this only provoked Hilary's temper even more. "I am going to punch you if you don't pack it in Tyson!"
"Oh, first you steal his shower gel, now his gloves. Then you follow him. Hilary, you MUST have an unhealthy obsession..." His tongue numbed at the sight of her clenched fist. "Fuck. If you punch me then I am not dressing your wound woman!"
"Don't you 'woman' me Granger! See! This is why I can't talk to you! You just make fun of me!"
"That's not true." Tyson had taken a few steps back to protect himself from her short temper, "I always look out for you! Anyway, do you want me to dress your wound or not?"
'Besides, how did he know that I followed Kai? Then again, Tyson knows him better than any of us on the team.' - Hilary took a deep breath and nodded at the arrogant champion. "Just do it quickly so I can continue doing some research with Kenny." She huffed with her chest getting tighter. She was nervous now as her brain began to over think about what Tyson had said.
'Am I obsessed? Or am I crushing on Kai? Oh gosh.'~
Still, it was such a relief to see that Tyson actually knew what he was doing, especially as he never really any paid attention to the first aid course that the whole team had to attend. It was a safety precaution to take since the team kept running into some dangerous scenarios. However, when the team were at the course, Tyson was too busy distracting Max with some amusing videos that were showing up on his Facebook page. The pair were cackling away at the back of the room until Ray had shot them both a scolding glare.
Tyson applied some pressure onto the wound to relax the bleeding and he then wrapped the badage around her hand. He was sticking out his tongue and he was squinting, but Hilary couldn't help but smile at his efforts. She could tell that the guy really was trying his best.
"There. That should help you out a little." He explained with a positive smile glued to his dry lips. "But you are going to need some more help than usual Hilary because if you open up that wound anymore. You are probably going to need some stitches."
She gazed over the wound like she was so impressed, but Tyson couldn't help but acknowledge the confusion that was lingering within her eyes. "Just take care of yourself and don't do anything stupid." He encouraged in a soft tone as he then packed up the first aid kit.
For some reason, he was in a rush and Hilary sensed this. "Thank you Tyson. But what's going on?" She asked whilst refusing to take her eyes off him. He suddenly looked flustered when he gazed at his mobile phone to look at the time.
"Nothing. Shit, I am so late." He gasped out loud. "Urgh, is Kai still out?"
Hilary nodded a yes and she tilted her head, "Yea, he won't be back until he wants feeding. Why? What's up?"
"I'm going to borrow some of his cologne. Shhh." Tyson grinned devilishly and he darted out the room. "I have to smell sexy for my date!"
"You have a date!?" Her repetition wasn't heard as Tyson had already disappeared out the room to invade Kai's suitcase. "And the guy gives me a hardtime for pinching some shower gel. He's there pinching Kai's expensive perfume. Urgh. Typical."
'That reminds me, I wonder how Max's date went.'~
