Chapter Eleven
Good Love Never Dies
Tyson straightened his outfit in the mirror. Max chuckled, "Honestly I think you're more nervous than I am and I'm the one getting married!!"
Tyson glared at Max who was still snickering and huffed, "Aren't you worried about what Ray thinks about your outfit?"
Max smiled, a lost expression filling his cerulean eyes, "I don't care. He loves me. That's all that matters," Tyson's eyes softened as he nodded. Max continued, "So stop worrying about your outfit already. Kai loves you. Isn't that enough?"
Tyson stared wistfully at the sky, which was in beautiful shades of magenta and burgundy, "Yes." He admitted, "It's…what I've always wanted."
[For the rest of my days, I want you by my side.
Tell me what can I say to keep you in my life?]
Unbeknownst to Tyson, Kai was in a similar state of mind. Ray flinched as Kai kept on flinging different types of clothing all over the room.
Never knew Kai was so fussy about clothing…
"Kai, for the love of God, calm down!!! This happens to be my wedding, yet you're more worried about it than I am!!!"
Kai turned towards Ray, ready to snap at him, but he calmed down. Ray was right; he was getting nervous for no reason.
"Sorry," He said, the word rolling on his tongue. It felt familiar. He had to shed his pride many times over lately. But it was worth it. Tyson was worth it.
Ray noticed Kai's unconscious action and smiled reminiscing, "I thought I loved Tyson once, you know," He saw Kai jolt from his daze and stare at him through narrowed eyes, "I was so angry at you. You hurt him so badly, it affected the whole team. I told him to give up on you, but he refused. So, Kai Kyoko[1] Hiwatari, you better take good care of him."
"I will."
"I know."
Meanwhile…
"Jason, quit shoving!!!"
"Sorry, sorry"
"Kaleb turn off that laptop or else…"
"But Alia…"
"I swear I will toss that thing into the ocean!!!"
"You wouldn't."
"Really?"
"…"
Can you guess who they are?
Yup, it's the Gangstaz. ^_^
And some other teams were present also; namely The White Tigers, The Majestics, The All-Starz, The Mystics, The Outsiders, The BladeTrashers, and so on…
It's too long a list!!! ^^*
"Hey, where's Chris?"
"…."
"Alia Henderson!!! What did you do to Chris!!!"
"Heh heh heh, you know the broom closet…"
"*gulps* The B-broom closet?"
"Yup."
"He's not…"
"Dead in one."
"I wish you didn't tell me that…"
['Cause I can never relax. I gotta make it exciting,
make it attractive. Keep it alive. Keep you coming back.]
Max took a glance at the altar. God, his head felt like a bundle of nerves right now.
But he saw Ray approach the altar, his face determined and strong.
Max can draw on that strength.
If Ray can do it, so can I.
Max took a deep breath, "Tyson, you ready?"
"Are you crazy!!? Like this!!"
Max sweatdropped, "Like that. If you don't come out, I'm going out without you!!"
"…"
"Tyson? Anytime now would be nice," Max pointed out exasperatedly.
"Fine." Tyson stomped over to Max, his face defiantly sullen.
Max smiled patiently. He glanced at the altar again.
My God, there's a lot of people there…
Mom and Dad are there, so are Robert and Co. and… Hey!! Lilly's there too.
Kai doesn't seem to be too happy to see her though…
"Nice to see you again, Kai-taro."
Kai winced, a large purple vein throbbing at his forehead.
Max was pretty sure Kai was praying, "Why me!!"
Yup, Kai was never really found of Little Leila ever since the Hamster incident [2]
Fatali and Tash were there, using Anita as a barrier, causing the said girl to sweatdrop a lot.[3]
Everyone was there, waiting for Max.
Gods, that's scary…
"Max? Yuhoo!!" Tyson waved his hand in front of Max's face.
Looks like the blonde went to La-La land.
(ME: I wonder what he's doing there… Max: *blushes* CS: That's a sure sign…)
Max snapped out of his reverie and grinned at Tyson, "Let's do this."
Ray smirked slightly as Kai tried to evade Lilly. 'Tried' being the key word here, but you can't blame a guy for trying.
He rubbed his forehead, feeling the starchiness of the bandage under his fingers. Ever since the 'accident' at Sacred Lotus Stadium, his wound has been giving him problems. But, luckily for him, tigers are gifted healers and the wound would be gone in no time.
He scanned the area, hoping for a glimpse of Max. Even though he didn't show it, he was rattled. He had half a mind to dive next to the ocean beside him.
(It's a beach wedding. I love those kind of weddings.)
Then, everything dimmed in his eyes. He saw Max, resplendent like a god. Ray's breath caught in his throat. Max slowly walked towards the altar. Harmoney and Angy[4] were throwing marigolds. Allison caught one and braided into her hair. Fatali and Tash were fighting over who gets the flower. Kaleb caught one and gave it to Alia who blushed.
And so on…
He felt Kai gasp. He probably took a good look at Tyson.
(ME: No drooling!! Kai: But—CS: No buts!!! We're tired of cleaning after you!!! CT: *blushes* Kai:…)
Max reached the altar, his sky-blue eyes boring into Ray's cider gold.
Similarly, Kai's fiery crimson burned through Tyson's misty blue eyes.
This is it…
[I'm always so frightened you'll see through my act.
When the fire's out, and I've given up.
You keep running out and you build it up]
"It's time to declare your vows…" The pastor said.
Max said his, in a trembling voice. This was his dream for so long…
"I found the one whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go…"[5]
Max looked him in the eye and said in a tone of finality,
"I love you and in this relationship, I do the cooking!!"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Ray smiled warmly, causing butterflies to flutter around Max's stomach.
Then he spoke in a low controlled tone,
"If I could come back as anything,
It would be as one of your tears.
How could I want more than to be conceived in your heart,
Born in your eyes,
Live on your cheeks and die on your lips..."[6]
Max grinned, tears in his eyes.
"Great!! You may now kiss the br—," The Pastor coughed, sweatdropping as the whole audience sent him death glares…
Touchy, touchy…
"You may now kiss the groom," He said in a pronounced air. Ray grinned and kissed Max deeply. Max sighed, melting into the kiss. The whole audience cheered, the Bey Teams whooped with joy, and Chris…
Hey, he's back!!!
"Where were you?" Allison said, sending him the most terrifying glare he had ever seen.
Chris cringed. This was NOT a girl to mess with.
"I was…ummm…you know…"
"No, I don't," Allison stated coldly. Chris winced.
"Extra training tomorrow."
"But, Alls!!"
"Don't even think of weaseling out of this, dog-breath!!! You do the training or suffer the consequences."
"Ummm…what are the consequences?"
"When I make some up, you'll be the first to know."
Chris sweatdropped. Girls…
[You tell me Good Love never dies. It only hurts when we burn eyes.
From staring too long at the Sun.
You've got to throw your hands up. And let the Night come]
Tyson sat at the edge of the beach; his midnight eyes watching the tide rise and fall at his feet. Everyone was at a small seaside shack, partying. So why was he here?
Rise and fall…
His life was like that once…
When he met Kai, his life was rising and falling. It rose when Kai told him he loved him. It fell when Kai left.
He loves Kai. He loves the guy who left him, who abandoned him…
And Kai loves him back.
"Why are you here? You should be celebrating…"
Tyson didn't even turn back. He knew who it was.
He felt Kai sit beside him and he snuggled up to The Holder of Dranzer.
Kai wrapped a possessive arm around Tyson bringing him even closer.
"You know," Kai began huskily, his breath tickling Tyson's ear, "We need to celebrate as well. I thought I might have lost you for good…"
Tyson cut him off still staring at the ocean.
Rise and Fall…
All relationships have their fall…
Only to come back stronger than before.
"Tyson," Kai said pleadingly. Kai, pleading? That doesn't seem right…
Tyson turned his gaze to Kai. Kai loves him.
"Kai, you remember the promise we made on the beach[7]?"
Kai's body tensed involuntarily, "I remember. Do I hav-,"
He was cut off again as warm lips made contact with his mouth. He succumbed to the pleasure and it was a very very long time till they broke apart for air.
Tyson stared at the ocean again. So endless…
"You don't make another promise Kai, and wait till I finish," He said sharply as Kai began to protest, "You love me. That's enough. No matter where you go, you'll always love me. That's enough."
Kai said nothing. Then, "Before I left, I—I wanted to give this to you."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a velvet box.
Tyson opened it. It was a simple silver ring with a sapphire dragon and ruby phoenix entwined in each other.
"I think I'm ready to dream now Ty. And I'm ready to make our dreams a reality."
Kai slipped the ring onto Tyson's finger.
"Kai, I…"
"You don't need to say it. Shhhh…" Kai put a finger on Tyson's lips.
"You don't need to say it."
They spent the rest of the night, gazing at the twinkling gems above them.
You don't need to know what passed between them.
[Tell me what can I say to keep you in my life?
All the words slip away when I look in your eyes]
"Kaleb? Where are we going?" Alia said as her boyfriend pulled her into the depths of the crowd.[8]
Kaleb said nothing. He was intent on getting away from his nosy teammates and he needed a private place.
Finally, he found one behind the altar. He leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. Alia looked at him with concern.
"Kaleb?" She said, her amethyst eyes soft and velvet like. Kaleb nearly lost his breath.
Can he do this? She's the strong one, not him…
He fumbled with his navy jacket making Alia chuckle. Finally, he pulled out…
Come on you people, put on your thinking caps!!!!
Don't tell me you'll don't have any?
….
That's just…sad. Really.
Anyways, back to the story.
He took out an Indian styled box and bent down on one knee. Alia blushed.
He's not doing what I think he is…is he?
Alia blushed so much; people would have declared her the official human-sized cherry.
Kaleb looked deeply into Alia's eyes, "Alia, will you marry me?"
It was the corniest line in the world, but to Alia it was music to her ears.
"I mean," He said haltingly, "If you don't want to, I can wait, it's not like I'm in a hurry or anything…" He stopped as Alia flung her arms around him, causing them to topple over.
Klutzes…
Suddenly, they heard a roar of clapping behind them.
Oh, it's the nosy audience.
"Wuhoo!!!! So many engagements, so little time!!"
"I wanna get engaged!!"
"Shut up Kass!!"
"Move over Tash!! I can't see!"
"Anita, your head is blocking the view!!"
"WHY YOU… Come back here Fatali!!"
"I get dibs on the tape!!"
"No way José Lilly!!! You already got dibs on the MaRa tape!!"
"Astana, will you quit pushing?"
"Chris, if you don't give me that tape, I'll triple your training!!"
"Alls, that's blackmail!!"
"No, that's persuasive techniques."
"Jason, back off!!! Your girlfriend can fight her own battles!!"
"Damn right, I can fight my own battles!! Let's Blade!!"
"Mystics, let's roll!!"
Ray asked Max, "Where are our guests?"
Max pointed to the huge dust cloud. Ray sweatdropped, "They brought their blades to the wedding?!"
Max nodded, "Yup!"
Ray groaned, "This happens every time we have a reunion. Can they give it a rest?"
Max gave his husband a sly smile, "Well, this gives us some privacy. Where's the closet?"
Ray smiled, his fangs showing, "Right this way, my love."
"What are we waiting for?"
[Because I can never relax. I've gotta keep it exciting. Make it attractive.
Keep it alive. Keep you coming back. I'm already fighting to keep what I have]
Tyson and Kai were still sitting in silence. Finally Kai got up and offered a hand to Tyson. Tyson took it. They both stared at each other.
Sunset meet Moonlight.
Kai smiled his vampire smile, "We never danced, you know."
"I know."
"Wanna dance now?"
"There's no music."
"We don't need that. I'll lead"
Tyson snickered discreetly. Kai cocked an eyebrow, "For your information, Mister I-have-two-left-feet, I can dance very well."
"Show me."
And they began to dance, with only the rhythm of the tide and the beating of their hearts.
[When the fire's out and I've given up.
You come running out and you build it up.
You tell me good love never dies.
It only hurts when we burn our eyes.
From staring too long at the Sun]
Tyson laid his head on Kai's chest, letting his body soak up the warmth in Kai's body. Kai's hands were tightly hung over Tyson's waist, as if he was a lifeline.
And he was. Kai's lifeline. His storm angel.
"Kai?"
"Umm…?"
"How long do you take the others to figure out we're missing?"
Kai chuckled. He placed a soft kiss on Tyson's forehead, "Don't worry. They'll be busy doing other things."
"Other things huh?"
Kai laughed. The moonlight, the scent of Tyson was making him soar. He wasn't on Earth, he was on heaven.
Tyson snuggled deeper into Kai's arms. Kai kissed him again and asked a vital question.
"When are we going to have our wedding?"
"Kai!!!!!"
[You've got to throw your hands up and let the night come.
Take your chances and let the night come]
