REVELATIONS
"Max," he said quietly.
The blonde continued his fussing and ignored his friend.
"Max," called Tyson a bit louder.
The normally cheerful boy came up to him. He reached out a tentative hand. Tyson flinched, he hadn't meant to but he did. His friend tensed. He smiled up at the boy but found that Max wasn't looking down at him but rather over his right shoulder. The generally over enthusiastic teenager trembled in barely concealed rage; Tyson followed his gaze and it fell upon a figure, two figures actually. Kai, who seemed to be defending himself, judging by the indignant look on his face. Tyson then caught sight of Rei, the other figure; he was glowering at their captain. He seemed to speaking and Tyson assumed it was he hushed yet severely pissed off tone, if the look on the Chinese blader's face was anything to go by. He knew from personal experience that Rei was a force to be reckoned with. He had the dainty, delicate almost feminine quality going but when you got him pissed you had better watch out.
Tyson almost smiled at the memory of what he had done that had made Rei so mad in the past, when suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He panicked, when Rei was angry like he so clearly was right at this instant there was no telling what he might say - to Kai - about him. He had to get out there, but first he had to convince the blonde that he was fine, He looked over at his friend who had gone back to his fussing and he sighed deeply.
"Max!" he all but yelled.
"What!" came back his friend's surprised answer.
"I'm fine ok, just stop you fussing already."
'But Ty, you could be seriously hurt.."
Tyson zoned him out, 'I am already hurt, more that you will ever know. But there us nothing you can do about that. It is my problem, I'll deal with it.'
"...you should rest."
"Max, look ok, I am fine. Stop worrying," he managed a small smile at his friend in apology for his snapping tone. He turned and raced as fast as his slightly shaky legs could take him to the back door. He heard Rei spit out a cutting remark to their leader.
"..see what is right in front of you. What is on offer."
"What is on offer?" came Kai's reply.
Tyson looked on horrified. He felt absolutely mortified when he saw Rei open his mouth to bite back a cutting reply that would completely destroy Tyson's secret, something Rei had guessed a while ago and confronted Tyson about. "No don't," he said. He felt two sets of eyes focus on him but he stared at his shoes, unable to meet their eyes.
There was a pregnant pause but finally Rei said, "Fine, whatever, it's your call." Tyson felt him walk past on his way into the house. He breathed a sigh of relief and stepped closer to his crush, his heart pounding in his chest.

"Oh! I could just..i wish he just..AHH!" mumbled Rei.
"You know talking to yourself is never a good sign."
"AHH," cried Rei again. "Don't do that Max."
"What? I didn't do anything, I have been standing here all along, plus you're the one going mad."
"I am not going mad I am already furious," he paused and looked out the window at Kai and Tyson, "I can't believe he did that to Tyson."
"Yeah I know what you mean. Kai was always silent and unapproachable and he seems dangerous but I thought he was our friend you know. I thought we had made progress back in Russia..." he trailed off, following Rei's gaze outside.
Rei only nodded. He would have liked nothing more than to stun Kai by telling him just how stupid he really was, to tell him that he was missing out on something fantastic because he was so stubbornly foolish. But inside he knew that it was wrong of him to hint at what he had, he didn't know how Tyson was going to fend of Kai's curiosity. He shouldn't have lost his temper like he had, he had almost told Kai Tyson's very secret secret without consulting the boy in the first place. It was wrong of him, this wasn't his fight.
"I so want to pummel him into the ground, how dare he raise a hand against Tyson," exclaimed Max, more worked up now than before. Rei almost smiled at the words, the blonde and he thought alike.
"It's not our fight Max."
"Huh, Tyson's is our friend.."
"I know but, he has to deal with this alone."
"What do you know that I don't?"
"I can't say, Tyson would be so angry with me," he glanced at the other boys hurt expression. "Oh, he didn't tell me - I guessed. If you really want to know you have to confront Tyson about it. But promise me that you won't interfere, he needs to work it out by himself."
"Ok sure," answered the boy, his face brightening.
"Come on, let's go find Kenny."
The two of them left the kitchen in search of their shorter friend.
The cogs in Max's mind working overtime as he digested what Rei had told him, he already guessed what it was that Tyson had to face alone, and he would be true to his word and leave it alone, but he swore to himself, 'if you ever hurt him again, I promise you Kai, you will regret it." With one last look over his shoulder he left with Rei.
