The Generation
Chapter 17- Tyson
"That was close." I said, collapsing on my stomach onto the bed after dinner that night.
"Mhmmm..." Max smirked at me. He climbed onto my bed, bringing his body up against mine. He started massaging my shoulders. "You're so tense love. You should learn to relax."
Where did he learn to caress like that? His hands moved over my back like ghosts, and his hips were pressed between my legs. "Max, are you trying to..." I began.
Then his lips descended on the back of my neck, searching the sensitive nerve he knew was there. "Tyson..." He murmured sensually.
I threw him back. "WHAT IS WITH YOU!?" I demanded. "I THOUGHT WE'D DECIDED TO SAVE OUR FIRST TIME!"
Max drew back, hurt. "I'm sorry Tyson... I just... I'm scared you know? We have three days, two now, until when the attack is scheduled to begin. Tyson I've got the most horrible feeling!" Max snuggled his face against my chest and cried. "It's like... like something horrible is going to happen, that one of us is going to end up dead, or infested and we won't get each other back! Or that... or that mom or somebody is going to end up... that we'll lose somebody close to us..." He sobbed.
"Max." I murmured comfortingly. "Its going to be okay. Nobody is going to get hurt, we've been warned, we've got our pieces in place before they've even made their move!"
But I wasn't so sure. I really wasn't. And so the next evening, I sailed over the gardens, looking for a morph that would help. Maybe a lion like Max's. No, the agreement was no repeats. The Black Panther? Not powerful enough. In the end I couldn't find something good enough from the air. I gave up. There wasn't really much that we hadn't gotten that was worth it.
When I made it to the late night practice session, I saw Kai and Kenny leading Cassie through the same exercises that we'd used to prepare for the battle with Dunga. She plowed her way through the boards, weaving among the cans that had been set out. Then her beyblade bounced up the set of steps that we'd put out. "Hey Tyson, there you are. We found something way in the back of the grotto. We think that it might be some bit beasts, but its too late to check them out."
"Cassie..." I looked around. It was stupid, I know. Cassie's barn has more basic morphs, for infiltration, or surveillance. I would not expect a combat morph to just pop out of the walls.
"You're worried aren't you?" Cassie asked.
I nodded. "Very. Max had this... feeling that one of us wasn't going to come out of this alive."
"The yeerk pool is going to be insane, but it can be survived." Cassie said with a small smile.
"I went to the Gardens to see if there was something more powerful than I already had. I couldn't think of anything more powerful than a Kodiak Bear and an Elephant, the Kodiak makes Max's lion look like a kitten." I said sadly. "I don't know what to do. For the first time since I got Dragoon I don't know what to do." I spread my hands in helplessness.
"Comfort him Tyson." Cassie said with a smile.
That gave me an idea. "Thanks, I think I will." I morphed and flew off.
Over three hours and a trip to the sex toy store later I was busy rubbing scent oils into a bunch of candles. Red roses, tissue paper ones at least, were scattered in places in the room. Real rose petals were sprinkled on the bed. That was when there was a loud knock on the door. "TYSON!" Zeo squealed.
"Hey Zeo! Come on in!" Zeo and Wyatt piled in.
Zeo blushed deeply. "Oops, I'm sorry, did I catch you at a bad time?"
"Not unless Max is coming in behind you." I said with a smirk. "Pull up a chair, go ahead and sit."
"See Zeo?" Wyatt grinned impishly. "I told you he wouldn't mind!"
"Mind what?" I asked.
They giggled. Zeo flushed as red as the candle I was holding. "Wyatt and I have been... going out..." He squeaked.
I dropped the candle. "CONGRATS ZEO!" I said happily. "Ooo weee he's gonna leave the club with a groupie! Like oooo weee!" I did my best ArKelly "Gigolo" imitation.
"Tysoooonnn!" Zeo hid his face in his hands.
"Which one's the groupie?" Wyatt asked.
"Both of you are! It's a mentality Wyatt!" I swept Zeo up in an imitation of Cassie and Rachel's happy dance. "Congratulations! When are you two gonna get laid?"
"TYSOOOONNNN!" Zeo was purple in embarrassment.
"Say." Wyatt began shyly. "Is all of that for Max?"
"How did you guess?" I asked. "He's got this stupid feeling that something bad is gonna happen at the convention coming up." I explained. "He's really upset about it. So I figured I'd put together something romantic for him."
"That's so sweet!" Wyatt smiled that benign smile of his. The one that would have made Voltaire cry its so cute.
"Look, we've got things that have to be done before tomorrow." Zeo said, letting go. "We just thought that we'd drop by before we head back to the hotel."
"Zeo, Wyatt, promise me that you won't tell anybody about me and Max?" I begged. "PROMISE?"
"Pinky promise." Zeo grinned.
"Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye." Wyatt agreed.
They left. I retrieved the candle. Pretty soon, everything was ready. I was the only one that was there for dinner, so I made a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches and soup and headed back upstairs to get ready.
Max knocked. "Tyson?"
"Come on in Max." I smirked.
He opened the door. "OOOOOO!" He squealed. "Tyson is all of this for me?" He asked, throwing his arms around my neck.
"Yup." I grinned, wrapping my arms around his waist. I gently kicked the door shut and flicked the lock. He let me go and I went over to the boom box. I closed the window and the shades nearby before pressing play.
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do.
I pulled him into my arms. "Dance Max?" I asked.
"Of course."
Oh the morning sun in all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do
I smiled, my arm around his waist. I leaned my head close to his. "You wanted it to be special love. So I made it special."
"Oh Tyson." Max sighed as he leaned in to kiss me.
There's a love that's divine
And it's your's and it's mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one
I slipped my tongue into his mouth, exploring, twining it with his. We pulled back, and the air between us was heavy. "Max, I tried looking for something more powerful than my Kodiak bear. I couldn't find it. The only thing, I think, that we can do, is hope. Hope and fight for each other."
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
"Promise Max?" I asked, tears filling my eyes. I took his hand in mine, kissing the knuckles tenderly, moving my lips up his arm. "Promise me that you'll fight for me. That we'll fight for each other. No matter what happens, we'll fight for each other."
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day
We will give thanks and pray
To the one.
"I promise Tyson." Max said softly. He shivered in pleasure, and I knew that it was almost time.
Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
I kissed my way up his shoulders and neck. Then I noticed the tears in Max's eyes. I licked them away. "Ai shiteru..."
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do...
"Ai shiteru Takao-koi..." He whispered, barely audible. I felt Max trembling in my arms. I felt the stillness in his body, in both of our bodies. "Take me..." He whispered.
I smiled tenderly down at him, and did just that.
