Giving Up Meat For Lent
.Day 16 – Word Reaches The Blitzkrieg Boys.
"We are running out of food. Great!" Tyson impatiently slammed the kitchen cupboard door. "It's Kai's turn to buy the vegetables and he's been deliberately delaying it..."
He then paused his little rant as he marched over to the freezer to see what scraps were left to put together. There was plenty of meat to choose from, but that wasn't good enough for the two rivals. Kai would only bounce Tyson's head off the plate if he was brave enough to sneak in a chicken thigh.
Oh yes, the Russian was still in a mood from that 'skinning' comment that was said yesterday. In fact, he was so pissed off that he couldn't find the energy to even acknowledge Tyson for the entire 24 hours – he thought the rival's childish behaviour was very inapropriate, especially when he'd given Tyson the money to pay for his CHEAP clothes.
"Oh man, we only have onion rings, carrots and sprouts. Plus the potatoes on the counter are going green. I'll just have to cut that off and make some mash. Kai won't notice they've gone off if I don't tell him." He too then slammed the freezer closed and sighed heavily, "I can't believe I'm cooking the dinner today out of pure guilt."
Just as Tyson dropped the frozen vegetables onto the kitchen surface, he leaned over the counter to open the kitchen window. He really was tense after today and his muscles were locking up quickly. Tyson was stressed from all the guilt he'd been developing through out the day.
But just as he was about to really lose his cool, the Granger then took a brief second to think about the carrots that he'd just pulled out the frozen storage. It soon didn't take him long to he cheer himself up as he'd discovered a way to amuse the entire team. Plus, Kai would be a 'pure dickhead' to ignore this question~
He pushed opened the kitchen window and cupped his hands around his mouth to shout clearly, "KAI! DO YOU LIKE BABY CARROTS?!" Tyson was so tempted to laugh, but he held it together as Kai shot him a deathglare.
'Shit, he really didn't find that funny either. Oh well, the guy finally looked at me.' - The champion snorted with a cheesy grin.
"I remember you saying that you didn't like certain carrots. Like those yellow ones we saw in the store..."
Tyson was trying to justify his sarcastic question, but the bluenette Russian wasn't having none of it.
"They weren't carrots Tyson. They were parsnips."
"Ooooh, that would make sense. Thanks anyways man! It's nice to see that you will only respond to me when you want something! But that's okay, I will call you when dinner's done."
And when that sour comment was left to linger in the air, Tyson closed the kitchen window and he bit down onto his lower lip devilishly.
However, the sound of laughter howled in the distance and it was coming from Max. He really couldn't believe how far his best friend was pushing his luck today. It was pretty obvious to the entire group that Kai was in a sour puss mood with Tyson. Nobody really knew why though. They would ask Kai and he would ignore them, meanwhile Tyson would just change the topic.
How strange~
"I think I would feel bad about eating baby carrots." The blond American stated with tears of laughter filling his sea blue eyes. "I mean come on, the word 'baby' is in their name..."
"Oh boy." Rei rubbed his hand over his throbbing forehead, he then tried to calm the Draciel wielder down. "Max shush. This isn't the time to laugh."
"That guy is asking for a black eye. Oh Kai, he's winding you up. Just ignore him." Hilary encouraged, trying to save the Japanese male from receiving a good-hiding. Kai had built up so much muscle over the past 2 weeks and it concerned the brunette girl – especially when she began to mentally picture how strong his punches were. He'd probably leave a hole in the skinny Granger's face! "How about I make you a smoothie?"
"Go and kiss someone elses ass. I will deal with him later."
Back in the kitchen, Tyson had started to peel the potatoes to mix up some mash. He was slicing off the green edges and he was dicing them into small sections so the veg would boil quickly. It didn't take him long to get the 'scraps' cooking on or in the stove.
He knew Kai was going to pick at the food, but it's his own fault for ignoring Tyson when he was trying to tell him that they needed to go shopping (again).
Everything seemed to be going well, until he heard the sound of his phone vibrate in his pocket. Strangely, Tyson noticed that it was a snap-chat from Bryan – 'what the hell does he want?' Tyson thought to himself quietly as he sat down at the dojo kitchen table to open the alert.
'Not that I care, I heard you and Kai were going vegetarian for lent. Anyways, me and Tala were discussing something that I want you to answer. Does that mean you can't eat pussy anymore as it would be classed as eating meat?'~
"Is he taking the piss!?" Tyson burst without thinking, "Those guys seriously must get a thrill out of messaging random crap to everyone!"
Just when he was about to drop to the floor to have a fit in disgust; a light bulb switched on above Tyson's head. He'd got an idea and it was a hilarious one.
Instead of ignoring the ridiculous question, he simply sent back – 'I dunno, me and Kai haven't really thought about that. So I ain't sure what to say to you. But ask Kai, he'll hit the nail on the head.'~
Abandoning his phone on the table, Tyson shot up from out his seat and he peeked out the kitchen window to eye up Kai for the next ten minutes straight. The champion didn't care about anything else right now; he wasn't going to miss this for the world.
It didn't take long for Kai to acknowledge the ring-tone that was blaring out of his trouser pockets. He pulled his phone out into the fresh air and he opened the snap-chat message that Bryan had sent him.
"Oh man, I'd love to know what is going through his head right now." Tyson muttered to himself. He watched his rivals face had gone pale and his body had stiffened still. "Oh God. What's he going to do?"
This was all too exciting for the Japanese blader, he lowered his stance as Kai skimmed his wide eyes around the perimeter to spot if anyone had clicked on to the fact that he'd lost his cool. Luckily, he felt safe and he walked into the kitchen to disappear off the scene.
Once in the room, Kai caught on to the giggling Granger who was stabbing the boiling potatoes with a fork – he was checking if they were ready to mash up. Still, he had no idea that Tyson was in on this little sick joke that Bryan and Tala were playing at.
"What's so funny?" He asked, sounding a little more calmer than earlier.
Tyson swallowed the last of the saliva in his mouth before turning his head over his shoulder to look at his captain. "I was just thinking about yesterday. I can't believe we've let it esculate this far." He lied, hoping his best friend would lay off him.
"Anyways, why are you in here? I haven't called you in for dinner."
His eyes rolled when Kai registered what was said to him, "I came to grab a drink. Besides, what is for dinner? I thought you said we didn't have any food."
'Oh now he wants to know?!' - Twitched Tyson as he shifted his eyes back to the stove. "I'll surprise you. Now get your drink and go back outside." He insisted, desperate to get Kai out the way so he could reply to Tala and Bryan.
Yet when the Hiwatari walked across the kitchen to grab himself a glass out of the cupboard, he spotted Tyson's phone that was resting on the table. Casually he read the message and Kai instantly caught on to who the snap-chat message was from.
Bryan!
'Kai hasn't got back to us. The spotlight is back on you Granger.'~
"Tyson..."
"Fuck." The Dragoon wielder was thinking out loud again, only this time, it got him into trouble. He dropped the fork onto the kitchen counter and he turned on his heel to finally face his rival. "Look, fine, I will admit it, I told them to ask you that stupid question because I thought it might cheer you up a bit."
"You told them to message me?"
"Yea, it was also payback for you being such a grouche to me all day. Kai, I only wanted us to go food shopping so we didn't have to eat scraps for dinner. Instead you ignored me like a spoilt brat!"
"Spoilt brat?" Kai's eyebrows were now raised, "Hm."
"Yea..." Tyson stopped raising his voice when he had nothing more to throw in Kai's face. So he lowered the tone and leaned against the counter to calm himself down, "Anyways, I am cooking onion rings, smash, baby carrots and sprouts for dinner. So don't complain because I wont."
'Why do I get the feeling that he literally just kicked my ass in this argument?' - Kai blinked, not saying a word. He just filled up his glass with water and he walked outside the kitchen to continue his training. The Hiwatari wasn't in the mood to drag on this scenario anymore, he was tired of the pair hurting eachother and Tyson had just admitted that he was doing his best for their dinner.
Secretly, the captain knew that this was Tyson's way of apologising, so he'd already forgiven him~
Yet when he walked out back to the back garden to reunite with the others, Kai pulled out Tyson's mobile phone from his pocket and he opened ups his snapchat app. The Hiwatari may have forgiven him, but he still wasn't going to let the Granger get away with winning the argument.
'Eating a pussy won't break my lent commitment because me and Tala never get any anyways. So I have nothing to worry about Bryan~'
A quick reply then came through minutes later, it was from Bryan – 'Kai you bastard. I know it's you! Bahaha!'
A/N: I hope this chapter wasn't too crude for those of you who are thinking about going vegatarian. However, the next chapter will return back to the tame plot ideas, so please don't hate me for this. Anyways, if you wanna swing down that veggie route, I will give you my full support because it's such an experience to go through. Thank you so much guys for all your support, you all are amazing – Granger~
