I don't own Beyblade or any of the characters.
I just wanted to thank all my reviewers, you guys are really great. I'm sorry this update took so long, I've been busy with school. But it's here now, so enjoy, and please review!
Last Chapter:
Rei nodded. "So where are we going next?", he asked, changing the subject. Bryan thought about it, then smirked. "Why don't we go out? There's a club for sixteen and up downtown. Tomorrow, dress up and we'll go". Rei raised an eyebrow. "Is this a date?". Bryan smirked and pointed out, "What do you call our other adventures?". Rei nodded. "Point taken".
They walked back and as per usual, stopped at the gates to the Bladebreaker complex. "I'm not the woman in this relationship just because you're dropping me off", stated Rei. Bryan nodded. "Of course not", he replied. Rei nodded back. "Good".
Before Bryan knew what had happened, Rei kissed him. It ended as soon as it had started, and Rei smiled slyly at him. "If these were dates, I think I can spare you a kiss by what, the third one? See you tomorrow". He opened the gate and strode in, leaving one very dazed Demolition Boy outside.
Unexpected
SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Rei brushed his lips with his fingers as he entered. That had been...pleasant, he decided. Warm, and comfortable, and not too fast or passionate. And that was fine by him.
Tyson took one look at him and asked, "Did you have sex?". Rei blanched. "What?!", he yelped, drawing the attention of the other three Bladebreakers in the room. "Well, you have a big ol' grin on your face", replied Tyson. "And your eyes are all cloudy".
Rei hit him upside the head. "No, I didn't have sex", he hissed. "Then what?", asked Max. Rei blushed. "None of your business", he replied, entering his room and shutting the door.
A still-dazed Bryan entered his complex to see Spencer and Tala reading and Ian playing video games. "Looks like someone got laid", taunted Ian, glancing at him. "Your face is all dopey". "Like yours is all the time?", snapped Bryan. "And no, I did not 'get laid', alright?".
"Tou-chy", remarked Ian blandly. "You were gone for an awfully long time, though. It's already almost eleven thirty". Bryan blinked. Had he and Rei really spent that much time in the park? They had left the gym around six thirty and eaten, which took an hour, then went to the park. So nearly four hours? He shrugged inwardly and remarked dryly, "I'm a big boy, Ian. I can take care of myself".
"And I'm sure Rei could take over if you have any problems", shot back Ian smugly. "Did you at least kiss yet?". Bryan glowered at him. "None of your business", he said coolly. Ian raised an eyebrow. "I might as well find out from you, or I might assume things". Bryan sighed. Blackmail. I really hate him...a lot. "Yes, we kissed. But nothing else. Satisfied?". "Yep", replied Ian smugly. "Fine. Night", replied Bryan, stalking to his room, not noticing the look on Tala's face.
The next morning..."You want us to what?", asked Kai, not sure he had heard Mr. Dickinson right. "I want your two teams to get along, Kai, so you'll spend the day together. What you do is up to you and Tala; I just want both of your teams to spend time together and get to know one another".
Kai sighed. "Fine. Whatever, I'll call Tala and talk to him". "No need, I already did. They should be at your gates in another hour or so, so make sure everyone's up and awake", said Mr. Dickinson, sounding entirely too cheerful. "Fine", replied Kai. "And Kai, I don't want to hear about any fights", said Mr. Dickinson seriously. "Alright, bye", replied Kai, as Mr. Dickinson hung up.
"What's up?", asked Max, as Kai came back into the kitchen. "We're spending the day with the Demolition Boys", reported Kai. He rolled his eyes. "The old man wants us to get along and whatever".
"...You're kidding me, right?", asked Tyson. "We're stuck with Ian and Spencer?". Rei tilted his head. "It's not just you and them, Tyson. It's all of us". "Yeah, but Kai and Tala will seclude themselves in his room and you and Bryan will probably make out in a corner", pointed out Tyson.
Rei glowered at him. "Tyson...", he said warningly. "Don't push it". Tyson 'eeped' as he cowered from Rei. "Yes sir, sorry sir", he said, backing away.
"In any case, we're supposed to spend the time together. As in, all of us in the same room", said Kai, ignoring the twinge in his stomach. "So unfortunately, Tyson, you and I will be in the same area for an entire day".
Tyson groaned. "Aw, man! Stick me in a room with Ian, that was better!", he moaned. Kai glared at him and he held his hands up. "I give up! I give up!".
Max laughed. "You should know better than to go up against both Rei and Kai in the span of five minutes, Tyson. Now eat up, they'll probably be here soon". Tyson brightened and began shoveling in food while everyone else just sighed.
Twenty Minutes Earlier...
"Yes, I understand", said Tala, sighing as he hung up the phone. Everyone looked at him. "We're supposed to spend the entire day with the Bladebreakers so we can 'get along better', according to Dickinson", he said plainly.
Ian snickered. "Why bother? You're screwing one of them, and Bryan's close to screwing one of them. I think that's 'getting along' quite well". Spencer hit him upside the head as Tala and Bryan glared daggers at him. "Don't be so crude", said Spencer. Ian didn't say anything, swirls in his eyes as he rubbed his head.
"We have to be there in another hour. Ian, behave", said Tala, sighing. "I don't want to have to deal with you today". Ian glared and was about to protest, but Tala gave him a warning glare and he shut his mouth.
An hour later they were on their way over. Tala knocked on the gates and Kenny answered. "Oh, hi. Everyone's out back in the yard, come on in". They followed him to the backyard. Kai was blading in the dish set up, Tyson and Max were playing catch, and Rei was reading. They all looked up.
"Hey", greeted Max cheerfully. "So what would you guys like to do today?". "...Dunno", said Spencer. "Anyone have any ideas?". "...How about the carnival?", suggested Rei finally. "Sounds like fun!", exclaimed Tyson. "Sure, why not?", said Spencer.
Everyone else gave various assent and they were off. "So how did you know about the carnival?", asked Bryan, as he and Rei walked side by side. "I was looking online and Dizzi found it. I was going to suggest it for our next date", said Rei, smiling at him. Bryan let out a smile in return. "Trying to outsmart me in my own town? Low, Tiger", he said playfully.
Rei smirked. "You don't mean that at all". Bryan smirked back. "Nope. Guess this scraps our plans for tonight. Next week, then?". "Sure", agreed Rei. "And I have to get you back for last night", added Bryan. Rei looked puzzled and Bryan explained, "You caught me off-guard. No one catches me off-guard". Rei snickered. "Get used to it", he responded, walking ahead to catch up to Max and Tyson.
Bryan shook his head, laughing a little. Rei was an enigma to him, and he found himself loving it. He seemed so different in private. Outside he was polite, reserved, although he still knew how to have fun. Inside, he was exciting, worldly, flirtatious...he would go on, but he was starting to sound like a lovesick puppy and it didn't sit well with him. He could like Rei, that was fine, but it was a little too soon for anything more serious.
What did you think? Let me know, I appreciate your input! Until next time, see ya!
