Frozen Love Chapter 6
'It's getting colder out....' every few minutes, Kai would remind himself of this. Yet every time he reminded himself of it...he was reminded that there was nothing he could do about it. Tyson kept pulling his jacket closer and closer to himself in a fatal attempt to warm up some. The wind was picking up, Kai feared another storm was going to hit.
'And if that happens we're screwed....'
He took another look back at Tyson.
'What am I going to do? That brat won't make it out here much longer...'
"Kaaaaaai! It's getting colder!" Tyson whined.
"Stop your whining!" Kai spat. Tyson clamped his mouth shut.
'Note to self....leave Kai alone....'
Kai rolled his eyes and continued to limp through the snow. The pain in his leg had lessened, but Kai knew that was only because he was getting too cold to feel it.
'How much longer are we going to last out here?' Tyson wondered. ' I mean...even I can see that we're in major trouble here...Kai acts like nothings wrong but I can see right through him...He acts like it'll all be ok and despite his own pain he's still trying to make me believe that we'll survive. I know I shouldn't be so doubtful...It's not like me to be this way...but for once in my life....I'm really really....scared.'
Kai noticed Tyson's sudden fall in attitude. He saw the pondering look on the blue haired boys face.
'I wonder what he's thinking..'
'Kai probably hates me for being so annoying. ..'
'Don't you hate him?' The voice in his head kept saying every time he thought of Kai.
'No...' he would always say to himself. As if he was trying to convince himself he didn't hate his captain. Yet the more this adventure played out, the closer Tyson began to feel towards Kai. It was an awkward feeling for Tyson.
'All my life the only thing I've thought about is becoming the best beyblader in the world. I've never thought about crushes or any of that lovey dovey stuff. It's so freaky....I never thought I'd have a crush anytime soon especially one on Kai.... oh my gosh....I have a crush on Kai!' his eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" Kai asked. His voice emotionless. Tyson's face turned red and he shook his head vigorously.
"N..nothing. It just got a lot colder all of a sudden." he said almost a bit too quickly. Kai raised an eyebrow but shrugged and continued walking.
'Why is he so nervous all of a sudden?' He watched as the blue haired boy nervously rubbed his nose and pull his jacked closer in an attempt to hide his sudden stutter.
'It's not like Tyson to get so nervous...he's usually so....headstrong and determined...it's like he's...scared. No....Tyson doesn't get scared that easily does he?'
Inside, Tyson was panicking.
'No no no no no no! I do NOT have a crush on my captain! It's just not possible! Even if I did there's no way he'd ever return my feelings! After all he's Mr. Sourpuss! He doesn't fall in love! And especially not with me!'
'Maybe I should ask if he's ok...no that's too soft of me...but if I really am as cold as they call me...then why do I want to tell Tyson that this will all turn out ok? Why do I feel the need to comfort him if he's scared? Why? Why! I just don't understand these feelings!'
As the boys continued on their journey, they became more aware of how hungry they'd become. Or at least Tyson had. His stomach continued to rumble while Kai's never made a sound.
"C'mon Kai aren't you hungry?" Tyson asked.
"No." he replied. Tyson sighed.
'How can he not be hungry? We haven't eaten since the bus!' he thought
'I guess all the starving Boris did to me in the abbey actually paid off....at least something that man taught me did...'
"We need to find something to eat Kai! I don't care if you eat but I need to!" Tyson exclaimed, frustrated.
'Did he mean that?' Kai wondered, slightly hurt.
'Why did I say that....I don't want him to starve....' Tyson thought now feeling slight regret for what he'd said.
"Fine then...let's look for something." Kai said. Tyson gave a small smile.
'He sounded hurt...I hope he didn't believe me when I said I didn't care if he didn't eat. What am I thinking. Kai doesn't pay attention to anything I say so why should he start now?'
For a while they searched and finally Kai was able to find some nuts scattered around. It wasn't much but it was enough to satisfy Tyson.
"Kai are you sure you don't want any of these?" Tyson asked, trying to offer Kai some of the nuts they'd found.
"No. Go ahead and eat them."
"You sure...I feel bad eating all this and your not...."
"Tyson just shut up and eat them!" Tyson was startled but he gave up the fight and ate the rest of the nuts.
"If your done we should get going. We need to find shelter for tonight." Tyson nodded. He rose and began to follow his captain once again through the thick piles of snow.
"Kai..." Tyson said after a while.
"What?" his captain grumbled back.
"Do you think the others are ok?" Kai blinked. He wasn't exactly surprised by Tyson's question....more uncertain of how to answer it. Though his silence sent a look a worry to Tyson's face so Kai knew he had to say something.
"I'm sure they're fine Tyson. They're strong like you." Tyson's eyes widened in surprise.
"Kai...did you mean that?"
'What did I just say?' was all that ran through Kai's mind.
"Am...am I really strong?" Tyson seemed in disbelief that Kai would actually compliment him. His mind was searching for every reason to not believe Kai's words.
Blushing was the last Kai wanted to be doing but despite his will...he found himself doing it.
"Yeah....you are." Shocked...but with all the doubt washed away with three words....Tyson found himself smiling.
Meanwhile......
"Do you think they're all right?" Max asked. Night had fallen and the threesome had finally found a cave to rest in for the night. Ray had gotten a fire going and like Tyson and Kai, Kenny had found some nuts for their 'dinner'.
"I'm sure they are." Ray replied.
"I mean more Tyson than Kai."
Ray looked up from the fire at his blond friend. His expression showed nothing but worry as his face was lit up by the burning flames. "I think he'll be alright. He's with Kai after all." Max looked up and gave a small smile.
"I guess your right Ray....Well I'm gonna turn in....I think we all need some rest." Ray nodded.
"Yeah...I'll be right behind you."
"Mmkay." Max mumbled as he curled up with his jacket and slowly dozed off to sleep. Ray sighed and leaned up against the wall. Outside, he knew that he had to put up a positive demeanor so that Max and Kenny wouldn't worry. But, inside Ray was just as worried as the rest of them.
'But I can't show it. If I lose my cool, then Max will freak out. I can't have that. I just...I just hope that Tyson and Kai are ok. I'm leaving it up to you Kai to get through this....I know with you there, Tyson will make it...don't give up you guys....we're coming for you.'
Tyson sighed happily as he laid down on the damp ground of the cave he and Kai and managed to find.
'He said I was strong.....Kai said I was strong!' his mind kept shouting. 'And now that you think about it I am! After all I did beat Tala in the world championships! I'm a champion!' Tyson grinned as he spread out on the floor. Kai rolled his eyes at the younger boys behavior.
'At least he's back to his old self...maybe it was the food.'
Tyson let out a big yawn as he stretched his arms.
"Man I'm beat! All that walking!" Kai didn't respond. He just continued to poke at the fire. Tyson just smiled at his new crushes behavior.
'Typical Kai...but that won't stop me from trying to break that mask he wears...' Only minutes later did Tyson finally fall asleep. Kai found himself staring at the dragoon. And he smiled.
'Tyson.....'
