Alrighty, got to gobecause I'm seeingRentin less than an hour.
Disclaimer: I, Ami, own nothing of Beyblade exceptthe beyblades I have bought and this one-shot.Now that that's finished, on to "A Lesson in Love!"
Also words in italic are thoughts just so everyone knows and it's Kai thinking
"Tyson get up!" A two-toned blue-haired boy yelled at a lump of blankets. "Tyson!"
The lump rolled over to the side that Kai had been standing over and mumbled something that Kai couldn't quite hear. Bending closer, Kai was just able to catch his last words before the room became silent again. "Love… Kai."
His cheeks tinged red from this odd confession Tyson had just expressed in his sleep.
It had to be…no! No way could Tyson have any feelings towards him and anyways it was Tyson he was talking about. The slacker have a crush on him...yeah, uh huh, right. Tyson must've been dreaming about food. That's right or something else. But it was definitely not him.
Kai's mind denied any possibility that Tyson had said anything like a confession to him even though the idea was quite possible what with the words that Tyson had unconsciously let slip. Kai waved the thoughts from his mind and leaned closer, almost to the point of just grazing Tyson's ear before he yelled even louder, "Tyson Granger, get the hell out of bed now!"
Kai moved away before Tyson sat up abruptly and almost smacked his head into Kai's chin. "Huh? Wha…Kai? What are you doing?"
The blue-haired boy yawned briefly before he began rubbing the sleep out of his right eye.
"Obviously waking you up," the crimson-eyed blader glared with annoyance, folding his arms against his chest. "Get ready, we'll be training soon."
Tyson turned to his alarm clock, which sat on a night stand next to his bed. The numbers read 4:45. A loud groan was soon followed by the bluenette's whines. "Kai, are you kidding! Look at the time! It's 4:45 in the morning!"
"I know what time it is. Now shut up and get dressed."Kai glared before turning around and leaving Tyson's room, shutting the door behind him as he left. Tyson had watched him go from his sit-up position. Signing, Tyson fell back against his bed.
"Man, was that a weird dream…" Tyson stated before he flipped over on his side again, wrapped his covers comfortably against his body and went back to sleep. Meanwhile Kai continued his responsibility to wake everyone up and took pleasure in seeing the groans of his teammates when they realized what time it was.
"I'm surprised you aren't used to it yet." Kai replied coolly.
Rei sat up and yawned, his hand covering his mouth as he did so. "This is not the sort of time I want to wake up to every morning. Once in a while is enough for me."
"I rather not wake up at this time ever again," Max whined as his body refused to move from the comforts of his bed.
"Max, I would get up if I was you," Rei warned as he watched Kai leave. Rei stood and walked towards the bathroom, just turning around towards Max to finish his warning before walking inside. "I have a feeling that if Kai has to wake you up again, it's not going to be as nice as he did this time."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…I'm going." Max yawned as he too sat up and headed towards his closet. Meanwhile Kai headed back to a certain bluenette's room who he knew beyond doubt was still fast asleep. And upon entering, he found himself…wrong.
Tyson was still positioned in bed but was staring hard into the ceiling above him instead of sleeping. Kai walked up to the bed, but Tyson didn't even notice him.
"You're going to make a hole soon." Kai stated as Tyson's body jumped in surprise. Turning only his head towards Kai, Kai caught just a glimpse of frustration and sadness before a smile replaced it.
"Come to wake me up again?" Tyson questioned as he watched Kai fold his arms.
"Yeah…" Kai shifted just enough for Tyson to notice something was coming next. "Is something bothering you?"
Tyson's mouth dropped opened and the room was silent, both of them just staring at each other.
"Never mind…" Kai stated coldly, realizing that his question was so unlike him.
Why should I cared if something's up with Tyson, Kai scolded himself. He's just a weak player at best. His only necessity to me is an opponent to battle, so why should I involve myself in his trivial matters? But he did look…sad? No, I must've just imagined…
But before Kai could continue his mental battle, Tyson spoke to him even though his eyes had returned to staring at that same spot again.
"Kai… I like someone. A lot actually and I don't think they like me the same way." Tyson signed, closing his eyes as he did so. The room became silent again. Gradually opening his eyes again, Tyson sat up, folded his legs underneath himself and stared at Kai, patting the mattress next to him.
Kai eyed Tyson with a raised eyebrow, wondering whether or not Tyson's predicament was true or not.
"Why tell me?" Kai questioned as he ignored Tyson's indication to sit next to him on the bed.
Tyson thought for a moment. "I don't know. You just happened to be in the room and I had to let it out, I guess. Oh what am I saying? I sound like a girl."
Kai watched Tyson fall back onto the bed, stretching his legs out and over the side as he fell. Kai watched him for what seemed like minutes before he spoke again.
"I don't think you sound like a girl, maybe an idiot…"
"Hey!" Tyson yelled, sitting up abruptly. "I just spilled my guts out to you and you call me an idiot. Gee thanks for the advice."
"I never wanted to know what was wrong with you," Kai stated coldly.
"Then you shouldn't have asked," Tyson added with annoyance. "Just leave so I can get ready for training."
With that Tyson stood up from the bed and headed towards his dresser. Kai remained where he was. He certainly did not like the way Tyson had just dismissed him. So Kai did the only thing he could think of at that time. Sadly it was something his mind fought against asking, choosing to remain detached from Tyson's problem at all costs. But Kai's pride wouldn't let him. No one ordered Kai around and got away with it.
"Who is it?"
Tyson never expected that question to come out of his stoic and often cold-hearted captain. His surprise was clearly shown when his response came out, "Huh?"
But Kai ignored him and repeated, "Who do you like?"
Tyson stared at Kai, still surprised before a shield of defiance masked over his face. "I'm not saying."
This angered Kai for some unknown reason. Maybe it was the fact that Tyson had asked him of all the people he knew how to deal with relationships and love crap or the way Tyson was so open before and now refused to believe he had even said anything in the first place about liking someone. Whatever the reason, Kai was not going to leave until he at least knew the name of the person Tyson had this silly little crush on that was for sure.
"You asked for advice so give me the name and I'll..." Kai gritted his teeth before mumbling, "help you."
"You'll what?" Tyson's mouth would have dropped to the floor right then if not for the fact that his jaw held it in place. "Did you just offer to help me?"
"I'm not repeating myself," Kai stated coldly, more to himself than to Tyson.
Where had that come from? Helping Tyson? Kai ignored his nagging conscience and continued with, "Now tell me who it is."
Tyson turned his body away from Kai and focused on digging through his top dresser drawer. Signing for the hundredth time already that morning, Tyson responded, "It doesn't matter since he'll, I mean, the person will never feel the same for me. I'll just give up."
Kai's eyes widen in surprise. Give up? Give up? Tyson never gave up on anything. Something was definitely not right.
"Thanks for offering Kai but it's a lost cause," Tyson turned around and smiled weakly at him.
That was it. Give up and drop it? Kai was annoyed with Tyson's thinking at the moment. Being that Tyson wasn't one to give up so easily and just ignore whatever silly feelings he had towards this anonymous person, somehow Kai wouldn't let him give up on it either.
"Is it Rei or something? Someone on the team that you think will hate you if you confess?" Kai watched as a slight pink tinged Tyson's cheeks.
"Something…like that." Tyson confessed as he stared into Kai's crimson eyes.
This time it was Kai who sat on Tyson's bed and patted for Tyson to sit besides him. Tyson followed him to the bed.
"I'm not good with this mushy stuff," Kai stated. "So I won't be much help."
"Kai, I really would like to drop it. It's no big thing." Tyson said as he looked down at his hands which were becoming sweaty from rubbing them together. Kai watched Tyson's strange behavior.
Okay, what the hell am I doing? I'm sitting next to Tyson trying to help him with his love problem. I've been reduced to putty. Kai gritted. Now I've definitely got to get out of here.
"Well maybe it's better if you deal with this on your own like you want." Kai stood up to leave when a hand caught his wrist. Kai looked down to see Tyson staring up at him, a swirl of emotions on his face.
"Kai, I…" Tyson failed to finish.
"Just spit it out already," Kai stated.
"I really like you Kai!" Tyson yelled, releasing Kai's hand instantly as though it had just burned him. Kai stared down at the bluenette below him, stunned.
Tyson…likes me. What the hell is going on! Okay so I do like him too but…wait what am I saying, I mean thinking. Oh hell what difference does that make? Now what do I do…
"It's okay Kai if you don't like me back. I mean, like I said before it's a lost cause. If you don't want to talk to me for a while, I'll totally under-" But before Tyson could finish or Kai could realize what in bloody hell he was doing, Kai had kissed Tyson softly on the lips. Kai pulled away first, leaving Tyson stunned beyond all belief.
"K-Kai, did you just kiss me?" Tyson stuttered, his face turning to red. Kai, himself looked surprised as well.
I just kissed Tyson. That's the answer to my dilemma to kiss Tyson. Kai thought sarcastically. But I did like it… and Tyson has been on my mind for a while now…
Suddenly Tyson heard Kai sign and watched as a small hint of a smile formed on his lips.
"Yes I did," Kai stated bluntly. "I kissed you, so what are you going to do about it?"
A grinned formed on Tyson's lips as well, but much bigger than Kai's. "This." Tyson beamed as he tugged on Kai's hand and pulled him down so that he was bending over the side of the bed, and this time Tyson was the first to start kissing him. Kai started kissing Tyson more and harder till both of their bodies were on the bed.
Suddenly Tyson pulled away and stated, "Practice! Rei and Max are probably waiting for us."
Kai only smirked at this and got off the bed. He walked to the door and yelled in cold voice that was loud enough that even Rei and Max in a dead sleep wouldn't have been able to miss it. "Practice is cancelled! Go back to bed!"
Kai shut Tyson's door and locked it. He was sure that Tyson and himself weren't going to be leaving the room any time soon and didn't want any disturbances. He walked coolly and stated, "No practice. Now where were we?" Kai smirked as he and Tyson returned to caressing and kissing each other.
Meanwhile Max had been complaining to Rei downstairs about Kai's insane practices that always seemed be at ungodly hours in the morning when both heard Kai's voice yell that practice had been cancelled.
"That's it! I'm going back to bed and sleeping till I can't sleep any more!" Max whined before he headed back to his room.
"That's odd… Kai rarely cancels practice." Rei thought but shrugged it off and he too returned to his room. The clock shown 5:15 in the morning and Rei definitely didn't want to be up if he didn't have to be. Returning to their rooms, neither Max nor Rei had bothered to check to see if Tyson had heard the news that practice was cancelled for if they had, they would havebehold a veryshocking sight.
