Tyson's POV

Love. It's kinda odd, isn't it? You don't call for it; it calls for you. You can't ignore it…love just…comes. It's such a strong emotion that it can blind you. Ok, not literally, but you get my drift… anyway… it can make you see things that aren't really there, like a hallucination… ah crud… this sounds so corny, and as you know, I don't do corny. Stupid: yes. Corny: Hell no.

But it's true; all of it. And you may be asking, 'How the hell do you know all this…spiritual crap?' well, it's because I experiencing it now. Right now. At this very moment in time. And let me tell you something: I hate to love it.

It feels odd. Like being burnt and frozen at the same time; stabbed and healed… crying and laughing… yeah, well you get the picture…

Sometimes at night, I silently cry myself to sleep because of him. Yep… him. Oooh! Mysterious (note the sarcasm, people). Yes. I am gay, now stop changing the subject!

But, yeah. I cry myself to sleep sometime cause of him. Everyday, I put on a happy mask to hide everything. All the pain. Because I know he'll never return the feelings…well, maybe he will… but I just don't know…

We're close. Very close. Bestest buddies.

Going back to what I said earlier about the stupid pixie called 'Love'. It's odd, yeah we know, but it can pick the oddest people. I mean, me and him… we were once rivals. Heck we still are, but not as much. I mean, he really used to hate me. And I mean really.

Heh, I guess you have a hunch on whom it could be… well if you guessed Kai…then you're unfortunately…

100 percent right.

Yup. Lucky me. Destiny decided to mock me. I get Mr Sourpuss… excuse me while I go plan a party…

Ever since I met him, I knew we'd be special. I didn't think I'd love him at that particular point in time…heck, I didn't even think I was gay for crying out loud! But, I kinda had this… aw hell, what to call it? Like, I knew we'd be friends, ya know? And then as the Bladebreakers made their way through the different tournaments all over the world, I kinda started really respecting Kai. I mean, sure. He'd be a bastard and crap like that, but when he blades…man, it's like…it's a different Kai.

Not a bad one; but… a different one.

Then when he left… I felt like the world was going to end very soon. Not at that particular moment like in those sappy soap operas where the person has a mental breakdown, but just like my future could be… oh, shut up Tyson…

Anyway… then when he came back I was happy. And I was determined to let nothing get to him… to never let him leave, even if I had to drug him. Hehe, that would've been fun…

And all through the time when the Bladebreakers left, then got back together, it was odd and a blur. But one moment that sticks out is when Kai lost Dranzer and decided to quit blading because of Wyatt. You know, that had to be one of the moments when I was glad that Hilary was on the team, since she managed to coax him back into staying.

And one of the greatest and bestest memories I have of the old sourpuss was our match during the third world championships. We fought our hardest and when we zoned out together, I actually saw him smile…it was magical and I loved it. The way we just lay there, next to each other… I bet I'll never forget that moment…

And now here I am… the Bladebreakers are still together, helping the BBA back on its feet. Even Kai! Jeez, that's another memory I'll never forget.

I was walking along the river and I saw him…with a little boy. He (I mean the little boy, dimwits) must've been about five and here was Kai, teaching the kid how to blade properly.

I made sure I was out of sight, so I could watch Kai.

The kid's blade shot out of the dish and the kid fell over. I think he must've hurt his ankle, or something, cause then Kai was kneeling beside him and smiling reassuringly; yes, he was smiling again! Kai helped the kid back on his feet and probably told him to try again, cause then he adjusted the kid's stance and stuff, but I didn't stay around, I left. Grandpa can be pretty scary when you're late. I would've loved to stay and watch Kai be a normal teen, but… destiny still wanted to mock me.

But Kai's not normal and he probably never will be. That's why I…love him…
