Chapter 2
"Grandpa I'm home!" announced Tyson as he opened the front door. "Kai's with me so would it be all right if-?"
"Yooooooooh!"
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" The blue haired boy suddenly found being attacked and tossed back outside into the snow. Groaning he sat up. "What the-"
With a kendo stick held over his head his Grandpa prepared to attack the boy. Without a second thought he scurried backwards. "Grandpa?!"
"You totally ditched your duties and now you must pay the consequences!" yelled the old man getting ready to attack again.
Damn, I was so distracted with Kai that I completely forgot about the old man. Kai… wait that's it!
"Grandpa, wait! Ka-Kai's here!"
The old man stopped his attack and looked towards the doorway where Kai stood. "Hello there dude! It's been a long time since I last seen you."
Kai nodded, his way of saying hello.
"Hey Grandpa, would it be all right if Kai spends the night?" Tyson asked with obvious caution.
"Well I don't see why not."
"Great! Thanks Grandpa! Hey Kai let's-"
"Of course that doesn't mean you're relieved of your duties." stated the old man with a smirk.
Tyson blinked in puzzlement. "Huh?"
"Start cleaning!" shouted the old man shoving a mop into his Grandson's hand and pointing towards the dojo.
"Nani?!?!"
"This is just too cruel and unusual!!!!!!!!" wailed Tyson as he mopped the floor pitifully.
Kai sighed as he attempted to block out the other boy's constant whining. Why did I even come here?
Wiping his brow Tyson groaned with frustration. "Man I'm no where near finished…" He glanced over towards Kai who sat in his usual position with his arms folded and eyes shut. He bit his lip beginning to feel guilty for making Kai come here. He had boasted about how great Christmas yet here he was mopping the floor. Kai was no doubt having a ball… I bet Kai doesn't even want to be here.
Kai slowly opened his eyes. It was quiet, too quiet, which was strange since it was almost never silent when Tyson was around. It wasn't that he wasn't pleased that Tyson had finally shut his mouth for once but still he found it slight odd.
"Tyson."
The dark haired boy awoke from his thoughts. "Huh?"
Just as he opened his mouth to stay something he stopped himself. Why was he doing this? "Nothing…"
Tyson frowned faintly. "Uh Kai… I-I'm sorry."
"About what?"
"Well, I know this can't be much fun for you so I'm sorry for forcing you to come. So I uh mean you can leave if you want to…"
Kai stared at the boy slight taken aback. But the surprise on his face instantly faded and casually said, "So you're saying you want me to leave?"
"No wait I-I didn't mean it like that!" Tyson responded quickly. "I just meant-"
Kai smiled somewhat faintly to himself. "I don't have anything better to do therefore I might as well stay here." He stopped and snorted. "Idiot, as if I'd ever let you force me to do anything."
Tyson immediately broke into a smile and for some strange reason felt himself blush.
"Hey Kai just so this will go faster, do you want to give me a hand?!"
"Just because I said I'd stay doesn't mean I want to help you. Don't be so god-dammed lazy."
"Ahhh you're so cruel!"
Be time he finished it was all ready night time and despite his constant complains of being exhausted and on the verge of collapsing he was now bubbling over with tremendous energy from Kai's perspective.
"Great it's night! Grandpa will be getting ready to switch on the lights!" cried Tyson with excitement.
Kai stared at him, confused. "Lights?"
Tyson didn't need him to answer however for a few moments later the entire garden lit up with brightly glowing and different coloured flashing lights. "What is this?"
"Grandpa, thought it'd be a neat idea if we decorated the garden with lights just like the displays you see during Christmas time at the stores." replied Tyson with a grin on his face. "We've had the lights up for more than a week now but I still like to come out and see them being turned on each night." Although he would never admit it out loud Kai was quite impressed with the decorations and thought that they actually did kind of warm up the place. It was almost kind of nice…
"Hey Kai, let's eat!" Tyson cried enthusiastically grabbing hold of Kai's arm.
His red eyes widened slightly as he felt the blue haired boy's touch. He was still getting used to having other people touching him. All the hugging at the world championships had been somewhat tough to get through.
Tyson quickly guided him into the kitchen were on the kitchen table sat a chocolate Christmas cake. "Yay! Pudding! Pudding! Pudding!"
Kai sweatdropped slightly. The idiot was this excited over cake? Only Tyson…
The navy haired boy took two bowls out of the cupboard and a small jug of cream out of the fridge and placed them on the table. "Come on Kai dig in!"
"I'm not really hungry."
"How can you deny yourself the wonder that is pudding?!" cried Tyson in horror.
"Unlike you I don't have control issues when it comes to food."
"Aw come Kai try a piece, I guarantee that you'll like it."
"You do realise that if I don't have any there will be more for you."
"I know that, but I want you to try a piece. Pretty, pretty please Kai, with cream on top?" begged Tyson with large pleading brown eyes. Kai found that the longer he stared into those eyes the harder he found it to resist.
Sighing he grabbed a bowl and spoon.
"Yay! Yay!" The smaller boy watched eagerly as Kai poured some cream on his piece of cake and ate a bit with his spoon. "Well how is it?!" asked Tyson fervently awaiting a reaction.
"Good."
"See! See! I told you it was good didn't I?!" Kai gave a small chuckle. All this over a piece of cake, although he did have to admit it was good.
"You haven't touched you piece yet." He pointed out.
Looking down at his piece Tyson blushed a little. "Oh I guess I forgot." he said with a small laugh.
Tyson forget food? God that was definitely a first! Of course it didn't last for long… By the time Kai had finished his piece Tyson had all ready eaten four and was starting on his fourth. Where does he put it all?
After Tyson had devoured most of the pudding the pair retreated upstairs to Tyson's room where Kai glanced about somewhat curiously seeing this was the first time he had ever been in his team-mates room, considering he wasn't one for social visits. This is the first and probably the last time I'll ever be here. Kai stopped for a moment and rethought over his words. There was almost a hint of sorrow in them.
"Here you go Kai." said Tyson as he laid out one of the futons they had for when guests came to stay. "You don't mind do you? Or would you rather sleep in my bed?"
"With you?"
"What?! N-no I-I didn't mean it like that! I-I just meant-"
"Relax Tyson, I was joking." sighed Kai. "And I'm fine with the futon." Kai stared at the panicked boy with mild surprise. It wasn't like Tyson to get up worked up like that.
The blue haired boy's face went even redder as Kai looked at him. "Oh, uh, yeah I-I knew that…" Quickly he turned away and bent down pretending to smooth out the futon so he wouldn't have to look his team captain in the face. Man, I don't understand what's wrong with me! Why am I acting like this? Kai's gonna end up thinking I'm a complete weirdo or something! Although he probably did actually all ready think I was one when he first met me and- Ah I'm rambling! Okay, okay just calm down and act- Wait a minute! Why am I so worried about what Kai thinks about me?! I mean he's my team captain and I do consider him a friend but… Maybe I do care about what he thinks. He stopped for a moment before repeatedly tossing his head sideways. Snap put of it!
Kai glanced at Tyson curiously. He sure was acting strange… Then again it was Tyson, when was he never doing something weird and idiotic? But still…
Turning away he suddenly noticed something. It was a picture in a photo frame hanging from the wall. It was a photograph of the blade breakers, the picture Mr. Dickinson had taken just after they won the world championships. Kai stood next to Tyson who held the winners trophy and also had his hand on his shoulder.
"It's nice, isn't it?" spoke Tyson who had came up behind him when he noticed Kai looking at the photo.
"Uh, yeah…"
"I have all these great memories within my mind and I love to reflect on them, but the time when they really come alive is when I look at this picture." He gently placed his hand on Kai's shoulder causing other boy jolt slightly. "You look really happy in it. You have such a great smile. You should definitely smile more often"
Slowly Tyson felt his hand slip away from Kai's shoulder as the taller boy turned and walked away. He watched him frowning. I wonder if I made him mad again…
Silence set upon the two boy's as the prepared to get ready for bed. Searching through his bag, Kai cursed.
"What's wrong?" Tyson asked rather timidly, afraid of doing something to upset Kai further.
"I-" he stopped and sighed for a moment. "I forgot to bring something to sleep in." he replied, a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
"Oh that's no problem. You can borrow a shirt and shorts from me." offered Tyson as he searched through the door and handed them to him.
"Uh, thanks."
Tyson turned away from Kai as they both started to get changed. Quickly he threw his clothes on the floor and put on a pair of shorts and t-shirt he usually wore to bed. Kai was wearing much the same thing although they were tighter on him seeing as he was taller and more muscular than he.
He turned around a few minutes later and despite knowing that Kai was changed he couldn't help feel nervous looking at him. Kai… he looks really nice in those…Agh!?! What the hell am I saying?! It's Kai I'm talking about! How can I possibly say he looks nice?! It's not that I'm saying he's not attractive or anything, he actually is rather- Ah again what am I thinking?! Baka! Baka! Baka! How can I think of Kai my team-mate and friend in that way?
Kai watched Tyson with mild puzzlement as the other boy made some rather odd facial expressions.
"Tyson are you all right?"
"Huh? Oh me? Yeah, yeah I'm fine!" he cried quickly holding his arms behind his head and fake laughing. Kai nodded and managed to hide the smile which was forming on his lips. Tyson was the only one who seemed capable of making him smile. However when it came to showing his smile to other people that was another story. Baka…
As Tyson face turned a fiery red he found that this time he could not overlook it. Just stop it. There's no way that I can be attracted to Kai. Even if I were attracted to him nothing would ever come of it. Besides if Kai ever found out he would probably be disgusted at me and try to kill, or worse never speak to me ever again and that would cause trouble for the Blade breakers too. That's why I have to stop acting like this. I can never let Kai know that I have these sorts of thoughts and feelings about him. I know I can be pretty stupid but I can't be this time. I just can't…
The two boys silently climbed into bed after Tyson had switched off the light. It was difficult for Tyson to rid himself of such thoughts when Kai I was right here in the room, and Kai the usual calm blader found himself becoming stressed with the constant questioning of what was so special about the idiotic boy who slept above him and why he was suddenly finding himself drawn towards him.
I don't understand these feelings…
"Um, Kai?"
"What?"
"Uh, Goodnight…"
"Yeah, goodnight Tyson…"
