WHAT YOU WILL N EVER KNOW
"Oh my gosh, I am so so so very sorry that I am late."
We all jumped at the voice, yet we all knew who it was. I turned to the voice, although I realised that that was pretty stupid considering it was obvious that Kenny was still inside; most probably huffing from his run from his place here. I called out to him, "Chief, were you been?" The whole yard was quiet; it seemed we were all listening for Kenny's reply. When none came I shrugged and intended to go back to watching the match between Rei and Tyson. I figured that Kenny would come through the laundry door in time.
Suddenly I was half flying, half falling through the air. My middle back ached where something or rather someone had pushed me. I looked up and realised that Tyson was in my line of fire. I tried to yell at him to get out of the way, but my voice was caught in my throat. I thrashed my arms about wildly in order to straighten up. My efforts did not seem to be working; I was getting closer and closer to Tyson, who was just standing there - not moving. I gathered that I must look incredibly stupid right at the moment, maybe that's why he wasn't moving. He was shocked into oblivion.
I closed my eyes, shutting them tightly. In a way I guess I thought, if I couldn't see what I was about to run into, then maybe I wouldn't careen into anything at all. Maybe if I couldn't see Tyson than I could fool myself into thinking he wasn't really there. Two seconds later, all my hopes were dashed as I barrelled into a very hard yet incredibly soft body.
A body that wrapped an arm around my waist.
A body that cushioned my fall.
Tyson's body.
I murmured an "Oof," as I felt my breath whoosh past my teeth and I collapsed against Tyson. My eyes still closed, I proceeded to suck in as much air as I could, in order to fill my empty lungs.
I heard a voice but it seemed so far away, I didn't pay it much attention. I was to busy concentrating on breathing.
"Guys, where are you?" came Kenny's voice. "Oh, in the back yard already."
My world started to clear. I could once again hear the birds in the trees. I could feel the ache in my back. I could hear someone's breathing; I could feel their breath on my cheeks. I could feel Tyson, but I could hear Kenny's voice.
"Hey guys, I was running over your stats," his voice was louder now, I heard the laundry door opened, "And I think that......................ok am I interrupting something?"
At his words I blushed heavily. I didn't look up. I didn't open my eyes. I continued to breathe unevenly. I convinced myself that was because of my fall and not because of Tyson's proximity to me. It's then that I heard some giggling and I wondered where Max and Rei had gotten to. But Kenny's words interrupted my thoughts.
"Uh - Tyson, Kai - are you all right?"
I wanted to answer, but I opened my eyes and all my coherent thoughts left me. All I could see was Tyson. His midnight blue eyes were staring into mine. I could feel my skin tingling. His eyes were beginning to turn a smoky storm grey colour and once again I found myself having difficulty breathing. Only this time I couldn't fool myself by saying it was because of my tumble. It was Tyson, he was the one making me feel this way; so strange and unlike myself. I suddenly became from aware of him. I felt something brush against my side. It took me less than a second to recognize what it was. It was him; his fingers were caressing my exposed skin. I felt like I was burning. My insides were on fire, it was like I was melting. Ok that is a truly disturbing mental image but it's how I felt.
He looked up at me, his eyes asking a question, 'Why are you still on top of me?'
I gazed back at him and answered his question with one of my own, 'Why are you still holding on to me?' I watched his face as he realised what he was doing. He went scarlet and flung his arm away from me. I got up, cursing myself for my shaky knees. I just hoped that Tyson didn't notice. I glanced at the Brunette, "We're fine Chief." I was surprised at how smooth my voice sounded, when inside I felt like a thousand butterflies where not only flying around in my stomach but I think some of them invaded by brain also.
I looked back to Tyson. He was sitting up but he refused to look at any of us.
"We seemed to be rather clumsy today, right Tyson," I said to him.
He looked up then. His stormy blue eyes widened, his entire face showing his anxiety. I had startled him out of whatever stupor he had slipped into. I could hear Max and Rei laughing outright; I even heard a snicker that must have been Kenny. I tried, but I couldn't stop the smile pulling at my lips. Tyson, he looked.........he looked, just so...adorable.
"But," I paused as I slowly turned to face my other teammates, "Unlike the first two times, this one was no accident. Was it Max?"
"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about Kai," he retorted, his cerulean eyes wide with fake innocence.
"Uh huh I'm so sure," he replied sarcastically.
"Truly Kai, I don't know what you mean."
"I am not believing this. You are denying it."
"Like I said, I haven't a clue what you mean."
"You. Pushed. Me. Into. Tyson!" I emphasised each word to express my point.
"Surely you're not blaming me from your clumsiness. You said it yourself, you have not been exactly graceful today."
I just stared at him, I couldn't believe he could just fake it like that and if it wasn't for the telltale twinkle in his eyes that I'd have fell for his act. But I wasn't buying it, but I knew that he wouldn't give up. So in the end I snapped, "That's it," I cried. "Training is over for today. Take the rest of the afternoon off but be ready to train here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning," I concluded.
"Yippee!!!!!" shouted Max. He grabbed Rei's hand and the raced away.
"Bye you guys," the Neko-jin managed to shout over his shoulder as he was effectively dragged around the corner of Tyson's home.
"I guess I'll go home and start on a new training schedule. See you later."
"Bye Kenny," called Tyson.
"Hn," I replied.
The little computer genius disappeared around the corner and that's when Tyson rounded on me.
"What is wrong with you today?" he demanded of me.
I glared at him, "Excuse me," I retorted. I took a deep breath and regained my composure; forcing my expression to become neutral, but for some reason I think that ticked him off.
"No you don't. Don't do that," he all but yelled at me.
"Do what?" I exclaimed, exasperated.
"Put up all the facades and walls and defences."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Kai, don't okay. It's just me. I know I must annoy you......."
"Christ, yes," I bit out.
"Hey!" he sounded hurt and instantly I felt like a jerk. "Like I said, I know that I annoy you but I'm your friend okay, we all are and you don't have to pretend with us."
"I'm not........" I started, but he interrupted me.
"Of course you are. Contrary to popular belief I know that you are not made of ice. I know that you feel pain. I've seen it. But I know for a fact that you are very warm."
With each word of the last sentence he took a step forward. And with each step, I unconsciously took one back wards, until I ran into the side of my house. My back was pressed against the wall, I know my eyes widened with recognition of his defeat of me. He knew that I was intimidated. He knew that he had won this little contest. I was defeated.
He took another half step forward. He was so close to me. I could hear his breathing come in sharp bursts and felt some kind of gratification that he was as much affected as I was as this little encounter. He raised my eyes to meet mine. I felt my desire stir and I tried desperately to regain control. I would have pushed him away from me but I didn't trust myself to touch him without wanting to turn the tables on him and thrust him against the wall and kiss him senseless.
"I know you are warm Kai. I've felt it. Your body pressed flush against my own, do you think that I can not feel you. Feel the heat that you body radiates. If you think you can keep your distance by being blank then you shall surely fail and if you think that you are cold Kai, then you are very, very wrong."
I listened to his voice and it fuelled my desire. He spoke to me in a husky whisper. A sound that only served to inform me of his own need.
He raised a hand and I felt his coarse fingertips trail down my jaw line. I heard my breath hitch in my own throat. My eye lids fluttered closed of their own accord. My heart was pounded against my ribcage. I wondered briefly if he could hear it. I felt his feather light touch trace across my lower lip. I gulped and my knees turned to jelly and I thank which ever Gods that I was pressed against the side of Tyson's house. I think I may have groaned when he pulled away from me. And once again I prayed that it was inaudible and Tyson hadn't heard it.
I felt a cool breeze wash over my outrageously sensitive skin, so I opened my eyes only to find I was alone in the courtyard. I heard the laundry door creak shut. I was alone.
I sank to my knees; my legs collapsing underneath me. I felt like crying, but I knew that I wouldn't. I just didn't know what I was feeling anymore. I was so confused.
~*~
A/N: this is almost as long as the last one! WAHOO!!!
I hope you liked Kai's point of view. I'm sorry if you don't find it all that believable but hey it's fiction right? ^^
It's my B'Day in a couple of days, so a bit of Kai angst and confusion is a little gift to myself - hope that you like^_^
Be safe
