A pointless chapter. It's practically nothing but humor, nothing to do with the plot really. I wanted to do something humorous before it got too dark.
Johnny gazed out into the large crowd of bladers. He had just witness Bryan pull Claude into a headlock and Kai telling him to let the poor slender teen go. Bryan is so weird. Kai shook his head and walked back over to Miguel who instantly wrapped his arms around the feisty teen. The thing that was really strange, was that Kai practically melted into his arms.
"Kai and Miguel, huh?" Johnny muttered to the dyed American next to him.
Michael nodded. "Never saw that coming."
"Tala and Claude, too."
Michael nodded again. "Equally strange. So…"
Johnny rose an eyebrow at the hanging question. "So?"
"With Kai and Miguel."
"Yes?"
Michael hesitated for a moment, looking as if he was trying to find a delicate way to ask his inquiry. He sighed, giving up. "…who do you think would be on top?"
Johnny looked at him shocked then appalled at first, but then he gave it some thought. "I really don't know."
Michael was silent for a moment. "…want to make a bet?"
"..Oh, why the hell not." Johnny replied. "You first."
"I say…, Miguel."
Johnny nodded. Seems logical. "For the sake of arguing, I'm going to say Kai."
Michael nodded then paused. "So, now what?"
Johnny shrugged. "We'll have to ask, I guess."
"Right, you go ask Kai."
"No," Johnny stressed. "you ask him."
Michael looked frightened. "Hell no, he'll kick my ass!"
Johnny looked annoyed. "Well, I'm not asking him. He won't think twice about kicking mine!"
"I'll kick both you asses if you don't just ask me!"
"Ah!" Johnny and Michael said, surprised.
Kai is standing behind them, tapping his foot. "Well?"
Michael looked nervous. "Well, you see…"
"Yes?"
"We were wondering…" Johnny muttered. Surely Kai won't gutted them in front of a large crowd like this, will he?
"Yes?" Kai said again, stressing the word.
Johnny and Michael shared a look and nodded, agreeing to ask at the same time. "Who's on top?"
Kai gawked at them. "…"
Miguel who was battling at the time heard the whole conversation and smiled widely. Rick, his opponent also heard the conversation and saw the smile.
"Ha!" Rick laughed loudly. "Miguel's on top!"
The room went silent as Kai started to blush, fiercely. Kai took a deep breath and reminded himself that it was wrong to kill, no matter how right it seems at this exact moment.
Michael laughed. "I was right!"
Blushing madly, Kai turns to Miguel. "What did you say!"
Miguel lifted his hands in a surrender like motion. "I didn't say anything, I swear. Did I Rick?"
"Oh, he told me everything." Rick said, smirking at the almost frighten look on Miguel's face.
Kai looked as if he was seething in his own skin. "I don't believe you!"
Miguel recalled his blade and jumped away from the beydish. "I didn't say anything I swear!"
Miguel runs with Kai follows him. "Miguel!"
"I'll get you for this Rick!"
"Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!" Rick laughed, finding enjoyment with causing other people trouble.
"Hey, you guys taking bets?" Bryan asked suddenly from the other side of the room. "Who do you think is on top in Tala and Claude's relationship?"
"Tala." Both Michael and Johnny replied, without so much as hesitating.
Claude blinked. "What?"
Michael looked serious. "You are so Uke material."
Johnny nodded his head in agreement. "Definitely."
Tala smirks, his canine fangs showing. "Can't argue with that."
Claude looked like what Kai did earlier, seething in his own skin. "I am so mad right now." He said, stressing each word.
"Aw, don't be mad." Tala said, wrapping his arm around his waist. "Some things can't be helped."
Claude regarded Tala with piercing eyes. "You're on the couch tonight." He said, simply.
Tala instantly blinked, looking surprised. "What? But…"
Claude sticks his nose in the air and walks off, ignoring him.
Tala looked at Claude's back then turned to the two smirking teens. "Jeez, thanks a lot"
He then chases after Claude, looking like a wounded puppy. "Come on, what did I do? Claude?" He whines.
"There's nothing wrong with being the Uke." Michael said.
Johnny nodded in agreement again. "That's right. You're the one who is actually in control in the relationship."
"Yeah, if the seme is being difficult you simply tell him-"
"No sex for you." Johnny said, finishing Michael's sentence. They then shared a look and begin to laugh hysterically.
"Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Tala pouted as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I hate you both so much." He says to Michael and Johnny, stressing each word with a growl.
While this was happening, Kai manages to corner Miguel. Miguel backed into a corner, his hands in front of him in a peaceful, surrendering motion but with the playful smile on his face, there's nothing to worry about.
Kai pokes Miguel in the chest with one hand as the other rested on his hip. A few words were said, but only Miguel could hear. He gives Kai his saddest eyes, then suddenly wrapped his arms around Kai, squeezing him around the middle, making him squirm and laugh.
Those who had witness this, breathed a sigh of relief. Some had thought that the newly form couple was about to get into a fight, but fortunately, they didn't.
Besides, they were just too damn cute together to get into a fight.
Tada! Told you it was rather pointless. But after this, it starts to get serious.
