{Chapter 3/9}

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson wrapped his arms tightly around Kai's waist and tried to roll the over so he was on top.

Kai growled and resisted, using his body weight to try to stop Tyson from doing it again.

Taking the hint Tyson instead busied himself with the task of getting Kai's shirt off without breaking their kiss.

Giving the shirt a rough yank he managed to pull it up, over Kai's head, but unfortunately it got stuck.

'Tfon! Get fhis fing off me!!' said Kai, his voice muffled by the shirt.

More than happy to comply, Tyson flipped them over, straddling Kai's waist, and pulled it completely off.

Tyson smirked down at the extremely disheveled looking boy beneath him, still holding his shirt, 'So........now that I have you where I want you, what should I do now?'

Kai shrugged his shoulders slightly, 'I don't know. What do you want to do?'

'I think we both have a good idea,' said Tyson, and flung Kai's shirt across the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson woke up the next morning feeling on top of the world.

Smiling he yawned and sat up. Next to his bed there was another card.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning sunshine,

The day has begun,

Time to get up,

And have lots of fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

//You're right, I think I will have lots of fun//

Tyson got up, and got dressed, grabbing what he had written down the night before he ran out the door.

He passed Max, Kenny and Rei in the hall.

'Tyson! The hotels restaurant is the OTHER way!'

'Sorry guys, I'm not eating today, I've got something more important to do!'

Max/Kenny/Rei: =0

'WHAT CAN BE MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN EATING???!!'

But Tyson was already out of earshot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Now where should I leave it?...' Tyson muttered as he walked around.

After wandering around for a while until he found the bench he had lain next to the day before. Smiling he put the card down, 'Perfect.'

With his smile turning into a smirk, and then a huge grin he walked away.

A few minutes later someone walked over and picked up the card.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

I wanted you to know,

That I really like you too!

Kenny is smart,

More than some folk,

But rest assured,

I know this isn't a joke.

You know what I'm thinking,

And you're not a stalker,

You happened to be there at the same time,

I didn't notice 'cause I'm such a loud talker.

I know who you are,

And I don't find it strange,

You can tell you who you are,

'Cause everything would change. (that's not a bad thing)

I think I know you,

But I really do not,

You're scared to tell me how you feel, to my face,

But this isn't the only chance you've got.

You know me,

And I know you,

If I ever realized who you were,

You don't know what you would do. (well we're going to find out)

To me,

You may seem strong,

You may seem tough,

But underneath it all, I'll only find fluff.

Yes that had been close,

But it hadn't been close enough,

You should have been more careful,

I'm glad getting away from me was tough, (I'm no pushover you know ^_^)

However,

I should have been too,

But I wasn't asleep,

And I was lucky that it was only you.

It was time for bed,

It was getting late,

I needed my rest,

And my dreams did.

But I couldn't go to sleep,

Or worry not,

Today's another day,

And all my troubles can be forgot.

Because they gone,

The mystery is solved,

I know it's you Kai,

And now all this can be resolved.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Thanx for cheering me up,

And I really like you too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai dropped the piece of paper.

'Shit.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson couldn't help it.

He had to do it.

He needed to do it.

He giggled.

He had been hiding in the bushes, waiting for Kai to come and find his message.

At first Kai had looked more than a little shocked.

//He probably thought I would never figure it out// This thought made Tyson more than a little smug.

Anyway, after looking shocked, Kai had blushed.

Tyson started to giggle manically, //HE'S SO CUTE WHEN HE'S EMBARRASSED!!!//

Tyson tried to calm himself down, //I can't go and talk to him if I'm going nuts, he'll do that thing where he looks at me like I'm a complete moron and then walk away.//

After taking a deep breath and composing himself Tyson walked confidently over to where Kai was standing and re-reading the card.

'Hello Kai.'

Kai jumped, and Tyson smiled innocently at him, 'What are you reading.'

Kai flushed, and then glared at him, 'What do you think?'

'Looks to me like some sort of card,' Tyson pretended to look at the card as if he had never seen it before, 'It's very similar to the cards I've been receiving lately.'

Kai pretended to look confused, 'What cards?'

It was Tyson's turn to glare, 'You know exactly what cards!'

'No I don't.'

'You do so!'

'And what makes you think that?'

Tyson sighed, 'Look, you know exactly what cards I'm talking about, and I know exactly what that says,' he gestured to the card Kai was holding, 'So lets stop this and talk about what's going on.'

Kai didn't say anything.

'We NEED to talk about this, you can't just act like nothing's going on and hope it will go away.'

'.........................'

Tyson glared at him, 'KAI! Are you aware how childish your acting? Say SOMETHING!'

'What is there to say?'

Tyson blinked, he hadn't been expecting that, 'um.........I don't know.'

Kai glared at him, 'You expect me to say something when you don't know what to say yourself???'

Tyson: ^_^;;;;;;;;;; 'Maybe.....'

They stood in silence for a few minutes.

'.......................Look it was a mistake, okay. I felt bad because you seemed so sad, and you were moping around. It was just a stupid crush, and you should just forget about this whole thing.'

Tyson threw his hands into the air, 'EXCUSE ME? You want me to forget about it? How can you say that? Those cards, they were probably the kindest things I can ever remember you saying to me! And you want me to FORGET that?'

Kai looked at the ground and didn't say anything.

Tyson was waving his hands around in exasperation, 'I just don't get you! You can be so nice, so gentle, I know it doesn't happen often, but I've seen it! Yet you can also be so cold, and so distant!' Tyson suddenly grabbed Kai by the front of his shirt and pulled him towards himself so they were standing nose to nose. They stared into each others eyes. 'Don't lie to me,' said Tyson whispered, 'If the things you wrote really weren't true, or your feelings aren't what you thought they were, then say it right now, and I promise that we can both forget this whole thing, I'll never mention it again. I promise.'

They both gazed into each others eyes. Kai opened his mouth slightly, as if he were going to say something, but didn't.

//He's so close// thought Tyson. //So close that I wouldn't even have to lean in to be able to kiss him.// After that last thought, Tyson blinked rapidly and blushed.

This brought Kai back to reality. He blushed slightly as well, and quickly lifted his hands up to Tyson's chest and pushed him away. Much to Tyson's disappointment.

As Kai pushed Tyson away, he knocked Tyson's jacket pocket and all Tyson's cards fell out.

Kai looked down at the cards scattered on the ground, 'Sorry,' hey quickly bent down and started picking them up.

Tyson looked down at Kai confused, //He just pushed me away, and now he's picking up my cards for me? If he didn't like me, then why would he do that?// He noticed a card at his feet that Kai hadn't picked up yet, slowly, he bent down and retrieved it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You know me,

And I know you,

If you ever realized who I was,

I don't know what I would do.

To you,

I may seem strong,

I may seem tough,

But underneath it all, you'll only find fluff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson blinked. //He knew when he wrote this that he would probably react badly if I found out it was him............// Tyson suddenly remembered part of the conversation he had had with Mr. Dickinson the day before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Do you have any idea who it might be?'

'Maybe.........................But I really shouldn't say. Maybe if you sit
and think about it for awhile, you might be able to work it out for
yourself.'

'But............'

'I'm sorry Tyson, but I can't tell you.'

'Oh, ok. I better get going, it's getting late.'

'Alright, good night.

'You too.'

'Oh, and Tyson?'

'Yes Mr. Dickinson?'

'If you find Kai, tell him not to be so secretive about his feelings in the
future.'

'Pardon?'

'Don't worry, just tell him that for me, I know he'll understand what I'm
talking about.'

'Um......sure thing.'

~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson's eyes widened, //He knew it was Kai! Why didn't he tell me?// Tyson smiled and looked at Kai who had gathered all the cards and was now standing up, //Well, Mr. Dickinson DID ask me to give him the message, so I better do it, hadn't I?//

Kai gave the cards back to Tyson.

'Thanks,' Kai nodded and turned to leave, 'Hey Kai!'

Kai sighed and turned back, 'What now?'

'Mr. Dickinson asked me to tell you something.'

'Yes?'

'He said to tell you not to be so secretive about your feelings in the future.'

Kai looked very strained, '......................Did ........ He?'

Tyson smiled, 'He sure did, but I have no idea what he meant by that.'

Kai gave him a venomous look, 'I'm sure you don't,' Kai turned around and started to walk away quickly.

'Bye Kai!!!' said Tyson cheerfully.

'Whatever.'

When he was sure Kai had gone, Tyson's cheery disposition went away, and he threw himself onto the ground and glared up at the sky like it had offended him.

// WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM???? I like him, he likes me, we both know it, and we both know each other knows it, so what's the matter with him?//

Tyson lay quietly for awhile.

//I think I was right before. Kai was trying to cover up his feelings. But why? Is it because he doesn't want to get close to anyone? Is he afraid to get attached to me and then getting hurt? ..............Well too bad for him! There is no way I'm going to let him push me away! Watch out Kai, because I'm going to get you!//

Tyson smiled evilly, 'And I ALWAYS get what I want.'

Still smiling Tyson got up and started to head towards the hotel.
