Pairing: Kai x Brooklyn

Summary: It takes the greatest amount of courage to let yourself open to someone else. You can get hurt easily. Both Brooklyn and Kai know that.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything about beyblade.

The Hill

Brooklyn's POV:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gleams of light collide with shallow, transparent water, making the whole glow
and twist. It's not dark yet. The sun still burns strongly, unaware of the
seemingly obscure clouds which try to cover it and continues heating the puddle
full of liquid.

I wonder why I'm here. There is nothing here for me. And the funny thing is
that I created my own downfall here without even knowing. Things happened and
the time will never go back, I know. This overwhelms me sometimes, mostly in
days like this. Happy days. I can't help but to mourn over it all.

The grass in which the hill is covered seems to shine almost metal-like, deeply
contrasting with the ice blue water. The wind blows softly making my messy
red-hair cover my eyes. But I do not mind. It feels nice to only feel, not
relying in any other senses, for once.

Then the sudden darkness makes my mind remember, pain shots trough my skull. The
kind of pain which makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs that I want to
die but I have sense enough beaten into me to not do so. After all, what you
want is not what you get, most of the times.

After a while of wondering about endlessly dark subjects, someone sits just
beside me. I can feel the stormy aura surrounding the person, almost touching
myself, but I do not dare to look or move away. I don't need him to speak to
guess who he is, but he does anyway.

"You don't feel it, do you?"

He faces me, powerful crimson soothingly meets my green eyes. I can't help but
to feel surprised, a gasp parting my lips. This is probably the first time I see
those orbs showing some kind of emotion. I try to reply to the question asked.
But truly, I have no idea what he means with it.

"I mean" he says softly, reading my mind "the sun, can you feel it?"

I wonder about that for a moment and then shook my head, knowing that it's
true. The star doesn't warm my skin any longer, It has renounced to me. I
don't know why, but finally acknowledging that truth makes me feel sorrowful
and relieved at the same time. A tiny spot inside my brain lets me know that
now I can finally die in peace.

Kai slowly raises his arm, to brush off a tear that had fallen to my cheek. I
didn't even have noticed I was crying. My body stiffens when he places his
other hand over my shoulder, pushing me closer. I'm not used to that kind of
contact; being hugged is something new to me.

Now the wind has stopped totally, leaving the grass to dry alone and I think I
can feel the most tiny amount of warmth over me, so I smile. Kai seems to
notice that and smiles too. He really is brave, letting himself open to help
me. I wouldn't be so surprised if I didn't know how thick were the walls of
fire and ice that surrounded him.

"Brooklyn, I..."

I know what he means so I nod, still smiling. I also feel that way, I've felt
for a long while now. He leans closer and places his lips over mine, his hands
moving to my waist. It's a long and passion full kiss and when we part he
laughs softly.

"T-thank you"

It took all of my courage to let me open to someone, I'm afraid of being hurt,
you know? But somewhat, I know he will never hurt me.
