Giving Up Meat For Lent

"Oh man, I am so hungry.." Tyson then paused at the scent that was ghostly creeping around the dojo. He took a deep inhale and lit up like a Christmas tree. "Bacon? Oh man, someone loves me somewhere."
With Kai not present because he had got up super early to go food shopping, the Granger was left unattended with his big brother in the kitchen. However, the other members of the team had gone home for the weekend to visit their family and friends. Yep, Tyson and Kai didn't have anyone to visit other than each other; Voltaire was still pissed off at Kai and Tyson was always at home.
After having an extra long sleep-in, the Granger rolled out of bed and yawned loudly. "Hiro, I love you right now." He complimented as he stretched out his limbs. He almost looked like a lifeless zombie from the apoloclypse as he limped through the dojo to reach the kitchen – Tyson's eyes were dark and his skin was pale. Don't forget that the weight was dropping from his ass and legs.
"I made us some lunch. I knew the smell of the bacon would get your ass out of bed." The older Granger stated in an unimpressed tone. He really wasn't pleased with what this diet was doing to his brother, so now Hiro was encouraging him to snap-out of it. "Sit down and I will grab you a glass of orange juice too."
Dropping the meat-infested frying pan into the sink, Hiro then got to work on making their drinks. He intentionally had hoped that his dopey brother had not clicked onto the fact that the bacon sandwich had ACTUAL meat within it. He was never one to question food when he was hungry and half-asleep, so Hiro used this scenario to his advantage.
Tyson then rubbed his heavy eyes and he smiled proudly, "What do I owe this occasion to then Hiro? It's not very often that you return home, never mind cook a meal." He stated in a warm yet sarcastic tone. Secretly, he loved the surprise visits from his older brother, but it was always tedious to guess when the guy was next going to turn up.
His mouth was mouth was almost drowning with saliva and his stomach was doing somersaults with excitement. Tyson picked up the sandwich and he took another big sniff of the scent that was flaring from the fresh ingredients in his hands.
"I do love bacon in the morning."
'Then shut up and eat it before you suddenly remember that you're supposed to be a vegetarian.' - Hiro thought to himself whilst biting his tongue harshly. He then placed the drinks on to the table and he sat facing his brother. He too had made himself a bacon sandwich.
"I know you do. Now eat it before it goes cold."
"Hang on, let me just embrace this moment." Tyson protested with his eyes closing. "I do love the smell of bacon."
He was being super dramatic about this and it was starting to really wind Hiro up. But he wasn't ready to burst yet, he just impatiently took a bite out of his own sandwich whilst acting as natural as possible.
Yet just as the Dragoon wielder was about to take a bite out of the sandwich in his palms, his pupils suddenly narrowed when he registered the sound of pigs screaming on his television in the dojo lounge.
"What the hell?" Tyson gasped in shock as he ran into the room.
As usual, Tyson wasn't thinking before he was acting. But once he stood in the room, he began to witness a documentary that was based on focused on Biovault – They were testing their scientific experiments on animals to convert them into bit-beasts. Except in this image that displayed on the television, the doctors were feeding a live pig to the bit-beasts that were sealed away.
It was gruesome yet so traumatising. However, this documentary quickly explained to Tyson why Kai was so caring about the animals that lived on this small planet; he's has had to grow up and witness all this bullshit.
"For fuck sake." Hiro cursed to himself. He was still sat in the kitchen at the table with half of his sandwich in his mouth, "I was so close to getting the guy to eat some meat. Now what am I going to tell Kai?"
"That reminds me. I'm not supposed to be eating this. Jeez, Kai will kill me if he smells any bacon on me." The beyblade champion then walked back into the kitchen and he slammed his sandwich down onto the kitchen table. "Hiro! I have told you that I don't want to eat meat for a while. So why did you cook it me?!"
The older brother then rolled his eyes and took another bite out of his sandwich. He then pointed out in a blunt tone, "It took you long enough to notice that there was bacon in that sandwich..."
"Don't you mock me." Tyson growled in a low tone, "Answer my question."
"Well, I have noticed the changes in your health since you have been on this vegetarian diet Tyson and they're not all good." Hiro then sat up straights and he reached out his hand to pick up his glass of orange juice. "You're looking ill. You are pale, thin and dark eyed. Tyson, you look like a drug addict!"
"I'm healthy!" Quickly protested Tyson, "And I've just woken up, so give me some time will you!?"
"It's midday Tyson. If I gave you anymore time, the day would run out." Hiro threw back at him, "Now eat your meat, an athlete can not just function on grass. You're not a rabbit."
That's when the Granger had a sudden case of deja vu – this argument was so familiar, but he just couldn't put his finger on where he'd heard it all before. Anyway, he switched off his busy mind and he returned his flustered glance back to his brother, who was just looking out for him.
"Hey! You're not the one who made a bet with Kai. Besides, do you know what that guy would do to me if I had taken a bite out of that sandwich?!"
By now, Hiro's palm was covering his eyes because he was fed-up of Tyson's stupidity.
"He would make me walk up to a cow in a field to take a bite out of it! That's how serious he is taking this!" Tyson dramatically pointed his finger to the kitchen window, "You better hope he's not listening..."
"Oh give it a rest will you." Hiro slammed his fist onto the table harshly to shut down his brother, "Kai isn't here and he doesn't have to know. Just put your sandwich in the fridge. I'm sure Max will appreciate it anyways."
And with that sentence left to linger in the air, Hiro walked out of the kitchen and he took his food with him. Not for a split second did the older brother look over his shoulder to glance at his brother who was left to stand there with a confused expression written all over his face.
Tyson just wanted to please everyone. Yet when he turned on his heel to head to the bathroom, he bumped into a figure who was standing in the doorway with shopping bags in his palms. This made the champion jump out of his skin as he wasn't expecting to see Kai there.
"Holy crap! Will you stop doing that!?"
"Why are you jumping Tyson? Have you got something to hide?"
"Uh, no!" Tyson went even paler at this point, and his heart was slamming against his ribcage. "What would I be hiding?!"
The rival shrugged and his eyes narrowed, "Hn. Well, hurry up and put your shoes on. You need to help me get all this shopping out the back of your car..."
"You took my car without asking me!?" Tyson squealed in a high pitch, "You can't do that!?"
"Pft, sue me. Now get your shoes on, I'm not asking you again Granger."
"Uh Kai." Tyson licked his lips and he lowered his eyes down to his swollen stomach, "I need to go to the bathroom urgently, can't you do it this time and I will do it all next time?"
Everyone was really losing their rag with Tyson this afternoon, he just wasn't helping himself. First he annoyed Hiro and now he was about to push Kai's buttons.
"No."
Kai's short n sweet answer made the Granger cringe, he knew he was in trouble.
"Look, I need to go to the bathroom..."
But before Kai had even reached his irritated state of mind, he just placed the carrier bags onto the kitchen counter. He then paused for a brief second to think about what Tyson's realistic excuse was going to be. He couldn't get over how much the champion was visiting his bathroom. That throne was probably sat on more times than the Queen's golden throne.
"What? Again?" The captain squinted curiously, "Tyson, you have been shitting more then a whale recently."
Tyson was now embarrassed and his cheeks brightened slightly, "Kaaai." He cleared his throat. "It's not my fault, the veggie diet is making me go more. Anyways, I thought that was supposed to be healthy?" He then placed his palms over his stomach and he caressed it lightly.
A heavy sigh then left Kai's dry mouth as he stiffly shivered in disgust. He couldn't be mad at Tyson for this, especially as he had just been faithful enough to give up the irresistible bacon sandwich that was notoriously famous for catching out so many vegetarians.
"Fine, go to the toilet. Hiro can help me carry in the shopping then if he plans on eating the remains of our bread." The Dranzer wielder concluded, with a slight smirk crawling up in the corners of his dry lips.
"Aw! I love you Kai! Thanks buddy."
"Whatever."
