Yikes, this is the second chapter. Yeah, I know I had lots of problems with the 1st chapter . . . but what can I say? Typographic errors do appear a lot of stories . . . Anyway, this chap is gonna be cruel for Tyson (I guess), so just read and review... I don't expect you to love it though . . . oh well, here it is . . .

Chapter 2: Who's Gay???

=================

"Crap," was all Tyson could say as he went in his stupid old room he shared with Kenny. He was (obviously) thinking about Max. As usual, the ever so smart genius Kenny was poring over his laptop and typing the hell of the afternoon. He was sitting on his bed, his laptop on his lap, his shorts ever so short, his legs as usual quite bare.

"Hi," Kenny greeted his old friend without even bothering to glance up or raise a hand.

"Hi," Tyson replied. He sat down the bed and stared at Kenny.

"How was everything? Last night? Was it fun?" Kenny asked, still typing.

Tyson was stupefied. 'Did he know?' he thought to himself.

"Uh, w-what about last night?!" Tyson stammered.

"Well," Kenny began, "I thought you went to have fun, have a night-out, drink, last evening. Though it might have been fun, so I asked." (still typing)

Tyson sighed. 'Good. He's oblivious about what really happened. . .' "Uhhhh, cool. That's it. Last night was cool. Nothing more." (A/N: it's sort of the truth)

Kenny nodded in acknowledgment.

For a while the room was silent, except for the clicks and sounds Kenny's computer made. For a while both made no conversation. For a while Tyson stared at his friend . . .

"Hot legs," Tyson commented, his voice so soft.

"What," Kenny asked, "did you just say . . .?

Tyson stalled. What did he just say? "Uhhhh, did I say something?" 'What the heck? Did I really say that Kenny's legs were HOT?'

"Yeah. You mumbled something about legs."

"Well, I- I was going to say that . . . my legs are itchy . . ." Tyson lamely excused.

"Take a bath. Then put anti-itch cream," Kenny shortly responded.

"Yeah thanks . . ." Tyson muttered as he ran to get some privacy in the bathroom, and slammed the poor old door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~in the bathroom~

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

Tyson locked himself up and asked himself. "Did I really think that Kenny's legs were HOT?"

He looked at the mirror. He needed to take a bath, he noticed.

As he slipped off his clothes and lay in the (small) bathtub, he told himself, "Hey, Tyson, what's happened to you? Hot legs?! That's new! Great, after your friend Max, you're going after your other friend Kenny. Who's next? Ray? For starters, Tyson, Kenny's legs are not hot! Well, come to think of it, yeah, maybe they are hot. . . . . wait a sec! Tyson, what on earth are you talking about!!!"

For many minutes Tyson had an argument with his own self, as if he was crazy, insane, mentally disturbed. . .

"Tyson," Tyson said, "stop this madness. . ." And he walked out of the shower. (A/N: not naked, of course)

Restaurant

~~~~~~~~~~

The Bladebreakers were all there to have their snacks on a "usual" afternoon. They all were having a fun with the food, a good chat, with laughter and all that (A/N: Kai is as usual closing his eyes and quietly enjoying his food in some sort of distance.. Duh, he's kind of a stoic. . . he's cool. . .) . But then, Max refused to touch or even look at Tyson's eyes. They didn't talk to each other and obviously ignored each other. They were lucky the others didn't seem to notice their cold shoulders. . .or so they thought. . .

Kai was watching the two ignoring parties from where he was sitting. Crimson eyes carefully noticed the change of Max and Tyson as both seemed to be a little bothered of each other's presence.

"Hey," Kai suddenly spoke up, "what's up with you, Max?"

The other four looked at Kai. Max perked up and looked at Kai. "Whaddya mean?" Max asked, as he sipped off a little of his juice.

"You're ignoring him," Kai responded.

"What?-ignoring who?" Max asked.

"Tyson. . ."

Max looked at Tyson, Tyson looked at Max. Both didn't smile. Then they looked at Kai.

"I'm not ignoring him!" Max lied, smiling a phony smile. (with the "cute" cat face-according to Maxine)

"Sure, say all you want, Max Tate. Insincere grins don't fool me."

"Hey Kai, I'm not sure what's your deal, but Max isn't ignoring me. You're wrong," Tyson defended, lying at the same time.

"Oh well, why waste time talking to you. I don't know what you're hiding. I'm just being observant," Kai nonchalantly replied. He stood up and walked out. Tyson followed him. Then Max too.

"Boy," Ray remarked, "Kai's really some guy." (A/N: That's true! Hey, I'm not promoting a KaixRay here! o)

outside

"Kai! What I you mean about what you said?" asked Tyson, yelling at the furthering Kai. Max was way way behind.

"Nothing. . ." Kai stopped. Tyson caught up.

"Well, stop being observant, Kai," Tyson glared.

Kai looked at the annoying brat straight. Tyson stared too. Suddenly he got "mesmerized" looking at Kai.

"Kai. . .I love your muscles. Nice body," Tyson suddenly remarked.

Kai raised an eyebrow, "What the heck?!"

"Huh? Oh, uh, nothing, I didn't say anything," Tyson blabbered, snapping out of it.

Kai examined Tyson. He felt if he had a fever. "What's wrong with you?" Kai shook his head snickering and continued on walking.

Max finally reached Tyson. "What-did-you-talk-about?" Max panted.

Tyson patted Max's back. "Nothing, Maxie, just nothing. Let's go back . . ." he said, though still refusing to acknowledge Max's gaze. He went ahead and began to ignore Max again.

"Uh, Tyson? Why are you talking to me? Aren't you still mad?" Max asked.

Tyson paused and said, "No . . . I'm not mad, Max. I just . . . don't wanna talk, ok?"

Max shrugged and followed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson still thought to himself. 'Hot legs? Nice body? I want you? Why did I blabber those stuff? I must be stupid, crazy, outta my mind. . . but they must mean something. . . Don't tell me I'm . . .no, I don't think so. . .'
