A/N: I have no excuses for my slackness at updating this fic (I've been writing for 'Nothing' and 'What You Will Never Know' ^^). But here's the next chapter, enjoy!

REVELATIONS
I stopped running when I reached the park around the corner from Tyson's place. I slowed down and when I reached the swing set I stopped still. I was drawn to them. I sat down on the swing I had seen Tyson on only the day before. My mind wandered as I softly swung back and forth.
I'm not certain for how long I sat there but when a tentative hand was placed on my shoulder I now that I freaked. "Ahhhhh!!!! Holy.........." I let slip. I jumped instinctively but since I was off balance it didn't end up being all that effective. Through means that I am not entirely certain I ended up on my butt in the dirt. It was when I could see Tyson's legs, as he walked around to stand in front of me, that I concluded that I had fallen off the swing. "What the hell are you trying to do Tyson, kill me?" I implored.
"Uh - no," he paused, "Why do you keep running away from me?" I could hear his nervousness shine through in his voice.
"Running away," I sniffed indignantly, "I would never."
"That's bull Kai," he stated, calling my bluff.
My breath hitched in my throat as he took another step closer to me. He jabbed his index finger into my chest. I instinctively reached down to remove it. But instead of flinging it away like I had originally intended, when i caught his hand in mine I held onto it. I honestly have no idea what happened for those few seconds, the whole of my world seemed to have melted away. I could only stare at our hands; his dark olive skin contrasting starkly against my own pale complexion. I felt his hand under my chin. He forced me to look at him and when our eyes finally met, I could hear my heart thump wildly and I hear my blood pulsating.
"Kai," he whispered.
I didn't say anything, I couldn't have said anything. I seemed to have misplaced my voice but I nodded my head and hoped he understand that I was listening.
"Kai, thank you."
I jerked my head in surprise. I was so shocked at his quiet words that I dropped his hand from my grasp. Instantly I wished that I hadn't because I suddenly felt cold and his touch made me feel safe. "But........why?" I finally managed to stutter.
"For apologizing to me Kai, it means a lot to me. More than you could possibly understand. But understand this, like I said before I've already forgiven you for pushing me, it hurt yes, but bruises heal Kai. I will heal from superficial injuries, but if you leave me again, if you keep running away, I will never heal Kai," he paused then and raised his eyes to lock with mine
I looked away from him. His bruising reminding me of what I had down. I felt sick to my very core. He raised his hand again and gently touched his fingertips to my cheek. I turned my eyes back to his.
"You are my friend Kai. I'll always look to you for leadership, for guidance. You're my friend and you're never going to get rid of me, so stop pushing me out of your life," he all but yelled at me, defiance shone in his navy eyes.
I gazed at him then a ghost of a smile playing upon my lips, "Don't I get a choice in the matter?" I teased.
"Hell no," he replied, a grin appearing.
"Ok then Tyson, I'll be your friend."
"Promise?"
"Sure."
"Good. I'll see you at training tomorrow then," he said as he walked away from me A grin still dwelling on his lips.
I watched him until he disappeared around the corner. I mean I couldn't have turned away even if I had wanted to; he was just too damn captivating. Last night I couldn't sleep. He was there, haunting me, taunting me with his smile. I closed my eyes and he was still there, it was like I couldn't escape his presence. He was intoxicating, and alone in my room, late at night, I came to the conclusion that I somewhat liked it.
The lack of self-control I seem to posses around him still leaves a lot to be desired, but I realised that when I walk into a room, I unconsciously seek him out. It doesn't matter what he's doing, though it is better when he is waiting for me, but as long as he's there, I feel better. For the longest time I never understood what the feeling was, but now I do.
I like him.
I like Tyson.
Kinomiya Tyson.
The annoyingly brash git. The incredibly loud, obnoxious and insufferable prat. He was so infuriating and yet some how over the past, I don't know when, he had endeared himself to me. And now - now I had no idea what to do about it. I was stuck and extremely confused. Should I tell him - should I let it go? If I try to ignore it, would it go away? Or will it simply manifest and expand on itself until I can't hold it in any longer and let something slip?
I was so lost.
I think I leave it alone and maybe - just maybe the feeling would leave on it's own accord and leave me the hell alone, so I could get on with my life.
I closed my eyes to rest for a bit, and his smiling face floated in front of my vision.
"Easier said then done," I groaned to myself.
