Edge of Desire
"Will you stop sneaking side glances at the BBA revolution's cheerleader?"
Tala doesn't sound upset at Kai's lack of interest in their other two teammates' battle; he merely sounds everywhere between amused and weary. Kai doesn't want to dwell on what the redhead is thinking, the boy can assume whatever he wants.
Eventually he gives Tala a reply. "No." The redhead gives no response; it's just the pity keeping him quiet.
Why is he staring at the skimpy brunette? He finds himself asking.
Maybe it's because he can't accept the possibility that there might come a time when he never might see her again. Nevertheless, he does not know why the thought makes him feel like a cold metal rod is poking at his heart.
And he knows that that time will come soon, that it is inevitable, and that his path in life demands nothing less.
But even if he chooses a different destiny – yes, he believes the choice is in his hand, and his alone – he can't truly understand how it'll engender a difference in the longer run.
He's Kai Hiwatari, and pretty-pretty classmates of his rival – with smiles that make him think of a life he's never imagined, and maroon eyes that can't help but compel him to feel remorse and a longing he's never known – who can't beyblade, but can actually stop him from leaving (something no one has been able to do before) aren't, aren't really destined to stay in his life for too long (forever)… and he knows that that is something even he can't change.
So he keeps staring because he can't help believe that she'll disappear off the moment he looks away.

Apologies for the OOC-ness. Thank you for Dead-bY-n0w for the name suggestion. Thank you to all the reviewers. :3
I realized something. Kai is Steerforth and Hilary is Emily and they never will get the happy ending eleven year-old me, wished for them.
