A Champions Crisis
.Chapter 11 – Bloated On The Past.

Tossing the empty tin-foiled pot aside, the blond American tilted his head back into the sofa and slid down the sofa. His stomach was swollen, yet his breathing became heavier. Max was complete as he embraced the sensation of being full with Chinese food.

"That was awesome." He complimented whilst placing his hands onto his stomach, "We need to do this more often."

Ray took a deep breath to disguise his light burp. "Well, if we have it too often, we won't enjoy it as much." He advised whilst sharing a vivid smile towards his teammates. He too was full to the brim, but Ray was doing his best to not be so self-evident about it.

Still, a sweat drop then formed into their foreheads when both Max and Ray realised that Tyson was struggling to eat a small portion. He appeared to be in agony, but the Granger wasn't giving up, especially as he used to love his food!

"Is something still bothering you dude?" Max nudged his best friend, "I mean, you've barely eaten anything and I can't keep pigging out on my own."

Tyson laughed and he nodded a no, "Nah, I'm just a little thrown off that Kai isn't here with the alcoholic beverages yet." He lied, covering up the fact that his stomach had shrunk since he'd lost so much weight. Oh yes, depression is a gut sucking bastard~

"Oh yea! I completely forgot about that." Kenny sat up straight on the armchair and then pulled his mobile phone from his pocket, "I had a text from him, he said he's on his way."

"Finally! It's a good job that Tyson didn't eat so much then huh?" Max chuckled teasingly, "We wouldn't have saved Kai any grub. Anyway, what movie shall we watch? How about James Bond? I heard Kai loves James Bond!"

Speaking of texts – Another figure was about to receive one too. The Granger jumped slightly as the gadget vibrated within his arse pocket. "How do you know that Kai loves James Bond?" He asked whilst unlocking his phone to read the message.

'I heard that you were on your way to Russia to face the Blitzkrieg Boys soon. I want to see you again before you go, Tyson.'~

It's him!

"You are falling behind on your studies Mr Hiwatari. I must insist that you take some time away from your team to think of your future. The Hiwatari family name is counting on you..."

Before the caring Butler got the chance to finish his sentence, Kai had already slammed the front door behind him. He'd deliberately cut the old man off because he was so fed-up with hearing all the preaching in his life.

Do this. Do that. Organise this. Sort out that.

"Just fuck off." The raven haired male muttered under his breath in frustration. "I know what's best for me."

Secretly, he knew that his elders were right. But it was having the time to balance out his lifestyle. Seriously, the Hiwatari didn't have the time to introduce anymore hobbies or activities within his schedule because it was becoming so suffocating for him.

Still, he knew that complaining wasn't going to get anything done. So Kai strolled across the luxurious gardens to greet the transportation driver whom was holding open the backseat door for him.

"I see that you have brought all your school equipment with you sir. Would you like me to place it all in to the boot of the vehicle for you?"

Kai nodded a no and adjusted his grip onto the box he was carrying. "No. Just focus on getting me to the nearest store." He stated in a blunt tone whilst pushing the box into limousine. The Hiwatari just simply couldn't forget to buy some booze for the boys. After all, it will send them to sleep quicker, so he can have some quiet time to study.

Well, that's what he thought until he later arrived at the dojo.

Max had passed out, but it turns out that Ray has a surprisingly high alcoholic tolerance. In fact, the Chinese male had drunk so much that even Kai had began to question if he could survive a night out with the Drigger wielder. Still, he soon focused back onto his studies when the atmosphere died down.

"I'm glad he's finally conked out with Kenny." Tyson smirked as he picked up Kai's study books from Max's hands. "Oh man. I was so frightened that he was going to puke on these expensive babies."

"Babies?" Ray giggled, "I can't believe Kai didn't snatch his books off Max. Instead he just locked him out the room."

"Well if you think about it, that's probably what Max wanted. He's sometimes such a trouble maker when he's drunk." Tyson then grabbed one of Max's arms, yet Ray latched onto the other. "Let's put them to bed."

Ray nodded positively and he assisted with the task of carrying their teammates to bed – dragging their unexpectedly heavy bodies through the narrow dojo hallways to reach the bedrooms. Once there, Ray tucked in Max, yet Tyson removed Kenny's glasses.

"Who knew that Kenny would be such a party head when he's drunk?" Tyson announced softly, "Seriously, he'll be the one to pull all the ladies when we go on a lads night out."

The Asian male stood up to Tyson's attention and he tilted his head, "I guess it was just refreshing to see Kenny come out of his goody-two-shoes shell. Anyways, did you film his dance to Beyonce's single ladies track?" He quickly diverted the conversation into a more entertaining topic.

And Tyson pulled out his mobile phone with a glossy gesture written all over his pale face. "You bet I did dude. I wouldn't have missed that for the world." He winked before stepping quietly out the room with Ray.

"That's awesome. But Tyson, why didn't you have a drink?" Ray asked as he closed the bedroom door behind him.

"Well, you drunk most of it and I didn't fancy it too be honest. Besides, I had a blast with you guys tonight, so I didn't really need a drink." Tyson shrugged playfully, "Hey, is Kai still in my bedroom studying?"

"Possibly. But good luck trying to get in there. That guy clearly doesn't want to be disturbed." Ray then walked to the bathroom.

Meanwhile Tyson darted out the dojo to head towards his bedroom. "Well, if that misery arse can do it. So can I." He thought out loud to himself as he then gazed through the window to see that the future businessmen was still sat at the desk – staring at the laptop screen like he was fed-up.
