A Champions Crisis
Chapter [8]

'Boredom. It's such a ballache. Seriously, I can finally understand why some people get so stressed about it.' - The Granger thought to himself as he carelessly dropped his mobile phone onto his lap. He'd got fed up with waiting for Kai to text him back, so he decided to preoccupy him with something else for the time being – like designing some attack moves within his sketch book or read a beyblade sports magazine to distract his mind.

Still, nothing seemed to help.

In all honesty though, Tyson struggled to concentrate on this simple task because he was so stressed out about the scenario involving his brother, Hiro. The older Granger had text him to say that he'd be around tomorrow to check up on Tyson. But the Dragoon wielder wasn't too fond of the idea as he wanted the day off to catch up on his sleep loss. After all, he needed some time to reset his sleeping routine as it had completely gone down the toilet. Tyson was going to bed early, yet falling asleep late as he had been over-thinking about his life throughout the endlessly hours of the night.

"I'm so sick of all this." He grumbled to himself in frustration whilst tapping his head against the bed headboard. "Urgh, I am starting to think that Kai is right. Maybe I should have a vacation when all this is over."

Yet just as he closed his eyes to picture the view of the tropical beaches; something quickly disturbed his peace of mind. His bedroom window had slid open from the outside and a few bags were then pushed through the gap.

Tyson's eyelids flung wide open and he immediately turned his head into the intruders direction to watch a broad figure climb into the room. His heart was pounding heavily, meanwhile his was adjusting to the adrenaline rush that was fuelling through his veins.

But when the Dragoon wielder reached out his hand to grab his launcher, the figure stepped into the moonlight to reveal his identity. The bluenette Russian looked so cold yet irritated with the world as he then closed the window behind him.

"Well, if it isn't the guy who doesn't return his text messages. Yet to top it off, he decides to break into my house." Tyson's pupils enlargened when Kai shot him a curious glance. "Jeez man. Kai, you have just scared the living shit out of me dude."

"Shut up." Kai snarled back in frustration, "I'm sleeping here for the night."

"Whaa.." Tyson rubbed his eyes for a brief second, "Why Kai?"

Kai didn't really want to admit why. So instead he just blocked out the question from the Granger's lips. It was pretty obvious what he was going to ask, but Kai just focused his full attention on unpacking his bagpack.

Surprised at the unplanned event, Tyson tilted his head aside as he focused his panda eyes on to his rival. He innocently observed the way that Kai had sett up his sleeping space on the dojo floor. Wierdly, he'd only brought a blanket to lay on and he was still wearing his hoodie and trackies - he'd been wearing them for two days straight now!

It's as if the Hiwatari hadn't had the chance to stop and focus on himself since he had returned home to finish his business studies. Kai really was a busy guy, but Tyson didn't realise that until now. Still, he was eager to make life comfortable for Russian.

"Fine." Tyson accepted the fact that Kai wasn't going to open up about the issue, so he just adapted to the situation and helped Kai out. Tyson twisted around to pick up one of his pillows and tossed it onto Kai's blanket space. "Are you sure you wanna sleep on the floor dude?" He asked in a calm tone, "Because I don't mind shifting over to make some room for you."

Kai stopped in his tracks and he felt his figure tense. 'It's like deja vu all over again. The fucker wants me in bed with him.' - He thought to himself with his mouth drying up nervously. Luckily for the Phoenix wielder, the room was dark as the clouds had drifted over the moon for a brief moment. The shadows were able to hide his priceless reaction.

"Wow, I just thought of something." Tyson stated light heartedly, "I have never shared a bed with you or Ray. It's always been Max or Kenny."

A chuckle escaped Tyson's mouth and Kai just rolled his eyes playfully.

"But why Kai?" Tyson quizzed as he turned on the bedroom light, "Are you frightened that I will dribble on your side of the bed?"

He just had to see Kai's reaction, especially as Tyson's face felt like it was going to melt because he was blushing so aggressively. The Granger wasn't going to back down with the idea of having his handsome rival in bed with him. In fact, the thought of Kai laying next to him in bed excited the younger Granger, especially as Tyson has always adored Kai's natural scent. It was so attractive.

Unsure about the idea, Kai took a brief glance towards his sleeping bag on the floor before returning his eyes back to Tyson. 'What's the worst that can happen? Besides, I can have some fun.' He was was dying to grin at the devilish thought, but the Hiwatari just kept his cool and shrugged.

"See, I'm not very good at understanding the language of Kai. But I will take that as a 'yes?'"

Tyson's smile flared across his lips like a wildfire. He really couldn't believe it! He was going to share a bed with his team captain! Aka, his crush. The dark haired male then shifted across the bed to make some room for Kai and he pulled the blanket back to welcome the Russian into the warmth.

The Hiwatari calmly removed his shoes and he shifted himself into the bed. Kai was determined not to let his cool slip – but he was ready to tease the shit out of his rival, especially as it was so entertaining to watch him squirm.

However… Once Kai had pulled the quilt over his body, he took a brief second to embrace the heat within the environment. It was so satisfying! - He then inhaled deeply and skimmed his crimson eyes over to Tyson to watch him fidget a little to get comfortable.

Kai did acknowledge the fact that Tyson's natural scent had been embedded within the sheets, but this didn't bother him as he knew that the curious teenager would probably soon be sniffing Kai's side of the bed once he was no longer present within the room. After all, it was not secret to the Russian that Tyson was crushing on him.

Tyson was now laying down with his head against the pillow – he looked so innocently happy like a full-filled young man. But all this positivity that was burning lively within his soul did not stop him from taking his eyes off his crush.

"Well, are you comfortable?" Tyson asked whilst adjusting to the new presence in his bed. "I mean, do you have enough room?"

"I guess so." The Dranzer wielder then rested his head against the headboard. He was sat up straight with a pillow tucked behind his back to help him sit comfortably. "How are you Tyson?"

The tone did sound a little blunt, but Tyson knew that Kai was still working on the whole 'human communication' thing. Still, Tyson was still flattered to know that he cared – in fact, he was so chuffed that his heart had skipped a little bit.

Oh boy – Tyson was falling so hard~

"I am alright. I slept a little and woke up about 2 hours ago." Tyson paused to lick his lower lip. "I was gutted to wake up and not see you here though."

"Why's that?" Kai questioned. He already knew the answer to that question, but he just had to hear it~

"Because we had such an amazing conversation in the car." Tyson too was acting dumb, but in a totally different gesture. "I could have sat there and spoke to you for hours on end..."

"I'd rather you didn't."

"Huh? Why Kai?"

That devilish grin finally snuck up onto his dry lips and Kai sat up straight to say, "Because talk is cheap."

It was such a strong hint! - But Tyson just didn't click onto it. Instead he just steered the conversation down the 'trash talk' route and went along with the flow.

"Pft, I just let my title do the talking..."

"I don't think your title means anything when we are in bed Tyson." Kai was dying to laugh now, yet he swallowed the amusement for the sake of the peace. "Now go to sleep." He knew that he was winning this 'argument' because he could see the blush invading his rivals cheeks.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean Kai?" Tyson then trailed his eyes down Kai's figure to watch his body language. 'He's so stiff and stubborn! Urgh!' - The Granger grunted to himself, knowing that he was practically open. "I can't sleep Kai, I'm wide awake."

"Hn." Kai didn't really know what to say at this point, "Then do something productive to amuse yourself."

A giggle left Tyson's throat, "Nah, I don't need to amuse myself when you stick around because you entertain me." He admitted before turning over to lay on his back to gaze his eyes up to the ceiling.

Kai squinted and he removed his hoodie to reveal his tight black tank t-shirt, "You think that I entertain you?" He curiously stated, before dropping the clothing item onto the bedroom floor.

"Sometimes. Is that a bad thing?" Tyson crossed his arms and placed them behind his head so he could rest on them. "I mean come on Kai..."

'Come on Kai...' - That part of the statement then stained his mind and it was enough to provoke the Russian blader.

"Come on and do what?" Kai had leaned over Tyson's figure to deliberately interrupt Tyson's view. He was so close that Tyson could feel Kai's breath brushing against his hungry lips, "Well, go on. Tell me what I have to do to get you to sleep Tyson?"

Tyson's figure froze up. He was so stunned that his brain had stopped functioning for a brief moment. Seriously, the Granger really didn't know what to do as he'd never been exposed to this scenario before.

Instead, he just watched the Hiwatari grin more vibrantly as he sat back up straight onto his side of the bed. "I thought so. Now goodnight Tyson." Kai then ended the conversation and he too lay down to get comfortable for the night. He was over tired.

'Talk is cheap. Oh man, I am going to kick myself so bad later.'~
