Chapter 2! Enjoy!
Kai's staring. He knows he is. But, god dammit, he can't help it!
Suddenly, Miguel snaps his head up, as if realizing that there is someone else in the room. He pulls the towel off his head and immediately turns his gaze to the front door. He blinks his eyes slowly in confusion, finding Kai standing in his room, staring at him.
"Kai?"
Hearing his name, Kai quickly snaps out of his trance. He soon realizes what he was just doing and promptly blushes a shade or two darker than a over ripe cherry. He makes a little squeaking noise and holds his hands out in front of him. "I'm sorry!" he says and turns around to flee, but the door shut behind him and he ends up crashing into that. He quickly scrambles back and throws it open, disappearing quickly through the threshold and down the hall.
Miguel finds himself blinking with curiosity at Kai's departure, the damp towel hanging limply in his hands. However, a moment later a sly smile appears upon Miguel's lips and he chuckles to himself as he lifts the towel and starts drying his hair again.
"He's adorable," he says to himself as he sets about putting some clothes on.
He remembers the first time Kai started acting flustered in his company. It was Christmas and Tyson decided to have a get together of all the Beyblade teams at his place. While trying to avoid an overly drunk Ray with a piece of mistletoe, Kai literally crashed into him, landing in his arms and up against his chest. And from that moment on, he's being blushing and stuttering cutely ever since.
Kai's a cool character, there's no mistaking that. And seeing him acting all frazzled is an absolute delight.
But as cute as it is seeing Kai all flustered, feeling him resting in his arms, frozen still from the shock was absolutely amazing. He managed to get a whiff of his intoxicating essence and has been addicted to it ever since. He would go out of his way to brush past the enigma, to see him, to talk to him. But the shy Phoenix would take off and hide from him soon after that.
Well, not anymore. He's going to corner the beautiful blue hair angel and get him to agree to dance with him at the dinner tonight. Get there before someone else does.
-------------------------------------
Finding a secluded balcony all to himself, Kai leans heavily against the railing, the dark red blush on his cheek not lightening in the slightest. "Oh my God," he whimpers to himself. "I'm such an idiot."
He was just caught standing in Miguel's room uninvited and staring at him when he just stepped out of the shower. By Miguel himself! Can he possibility do anything more humiliating?
"Hey, Kai."
"Gah!" Kai lets out a cry of surprise and whips around, his heart thumbing loudly in his chest when he recognizes the voice and the figure standing a few feet behind him. Oh, of course. It's Miguel…
Where's the nearest exit?
Flashing his usual gorgeous smile, Miguel takes a step forward, purposely blocking Kai's only escape route when he sees the enigma push away from the railing. "Did you need something, Kai?" he asks as he continues to take steady steps forward.
Cue Kai's cute stuttering. "Well, I…it's…"
As cute as that stuttering is, it pales in comparison to Kai flustering wildly as he tries to explain himself and his odd behavior. "Did you enjoy the view?" Miguel asks, hoping to get that exact reaction from him.
Kai's profile immediately becomes tense as he flails his hands in front of him, the porcelain skin on his face flaring up with a dark red blush. "It was a mistake! I knocked on the door and it opened, so I stepped inside! I called out and no one answered and I-"
Miguel merely smiles, maneuvering Kai so he can slowly back him into a corner, up against a solid wall. "You're getting flustered."
"No I'm not!" Kai protests, but makes a little noise of surprise when he feels his back hit a cold and solid object. He blinks and realizes that Miguel has successfully backed him up against the wall.
Oh, crap. There's no where for him to run now.
Miguel moves to stand in front of him, lifting up one of his arms and places the palm of his hand flat against the wall right beside Kai's head. "You're blushing."
Kai's hands fly up to cover his cheeks, hoping that the coolness of his hands will tone down the ferocity of the blush a little. However, his hands are hot and sweaty from nerves, and their no help at all. "It's hot here, ok?" he says, making up a lame excuse.
Bending forward so he is now eye level with the shorter teen, Miguel lowers himself so he's almost nose to nose with him. "Oh, is that so? Hmm…" he says as he hums in thought, lifting up his other hand to rest on the other side of Kai's head, successfully boxing him in.
"What?" Kai asks, not much liking the drawn out hum at the end.
Miguel narrows his eyes a little, then suddenly he smiles brightly and leans forward, lightly pressing his lips against Kai's, catching him completely off guard. Kai's eyes widen in shock as his heart pounds loudly in his chest and his legs give a sudden tremble.
Slowly, Miguel pulls back and flashes him a charming smile. "You and me at the dance tonight. Nobody dances with you but me, ok?"
Kai can do nothing but nod his head mutely, afraid of using his voice.
"Good," Miguel smiles as he pulls back, lifting a hand to gently brush a strand of hair of Kai's eyes. "I'll see you tonight. I'll be waiting for you."
Once again, all Kai can do it nod silently, and watch as Miguel takes a step back and give him one last lingering, ice melting gaze before leaving. When he is certain that the sexy blonde is gone, Kai lets his legs give out from under him and he slides down the wall to sit on the floor, his heart beating rapidly in his chest. He goes over what had just transpired, causing his stomach to do a backflip.
Miguel just kissed him and practically ordered him to dance with him tonight.
Oh my god…
Feeling uncharacteristically giddy, Kai climbs to his feet and makes his way back to his room, floating as if in some kind of a trance. Without realizing it, Kai finds himself standing in the middle of his hotel room, Tala staring intently at him.
He's going to ask, isn't he?
"Well?" Tala says as he folds his arms over his chest, tapping his foot impatiently. "Did you ask him out?"
"Er, not exactly," Kai replies honestly, pressing his two index fingers together shyly.
Tala frowns deeply in frustration. "Kai…" he says, but before he has a chance to continue, Kai cuts him off.
"He asked me."
-------------------------------------
With a firm grip on Kai's wrist, Tala drags the struggling teen through the hallways of the hotel and into the dinning room. There is no way he's going to even give the enigma the chance to have second thoughts. He's hoping that if and when he actually gets with the Spaniard, then he can go back to his usual aloof ways.
No one can cut down the paparazzi and deranged fans better than Kai can.
As they step into the room, Miguel is the first person they see, waiting for no one but Kai. And he is looking as sexy as ever, making it seem like it comes naturally to him. And no one is doubting that it doesn't.
"Glad you could make it," Miguel says with his smooth voice that sends chills down Kai's spine and takes his other hand in his, completely ignoring the redhead next to him. "Come, you're sitting with me."
Tala smirks as he lets Miguel pulls him towards the table, watching as Kai follows without uttering a word. He then goes off to find his own teammates to sit with. All he's planning to do tonight is tell the others the gossip and interfere if any of the other bladers try to cut in on Miguel with his date with Kai.
Not only is Kai popular with the fans, but with his fellow bladers as well.
Dinner soon arrives and went off without so much as a hitch, Kai actually managing to have a conversation with Miguel and not stutter foolishly. Of course, that all goes to hell the moment Miguel brushes his hand against his.
Soon, the band hired by the BBA begins to play. Slowly, bladers begin to pair off and wander their way out onto the dance floor. For Kai, it's out of the frying pan into the fire.
Miguel gently takes Kai's hand in his and leads him out onto the floor, each step increasing Kai's heart rate. Giving a sudden tug on his hand, Miguel sends Kai falling into his arms and up against his chest. Much like he did the first time they touched all those weeks ago.
Wrapping his arms around Kai's slender frame, Miguel pulls him closer and tighter against him. He has Kai's hands against his chest, his face inches away from his. There is a dark blush adorning Kai's cheeks once again, however this time he isn't stuttering uncontrollably. He's seems shy, yet content at the same time.
Maybe he's finally gotten comfortable to his presence.
Miguel is so glad.
"I like this," Miguel whispers as he leans forward and pulls Kai into a hug. "You're cute when you babble, but I like you better when you're feeling comfortable."
"I…" Kai starts, but then trails off. He suddenly gives a small sigh and leans even further into Miguel's embrace. "I'm not used to this. I've never felt anything like this before. It's unnerving how my heart seems to skip a beat when you're near."
"Kai…"
"I'm so used to having control over my actions and my emotions," Kai continues. "I had to learn to keep a cool head under any circumstance. With two teams like the Blitzkrieg boys and Grev, it's no wonder."
A soft chuckle escapes Miguel's lips as he nuzzles his cheek in Kai's silky soft hair. "That's true."
"But I've never had to deal with anything like this before, personally," Kai says as a sigh passes his lips. "It's all new to me."
"It's new to me as well," Miguel confesses as he leans back and slips a hand under Kai's chin, tilting his head back so he can gaze tenderly down at him. "But that isn't a bad thing."
Kai blinks his ruby red eyes slowly for a moment, then a soft smile appears on his lips. "You're right. It isn't a bad thing."
Trailing his fingers along Kai's jaw, Miguel carefully tilts Kai's head back just a fraction more and slowly, he lowers his lips to descend to Kai's waiting ones. This time, Kai welcomes the tender kiss, eagerly returning the affectionate display.
Kai slips his arms from Miguel's chest to wrap around his neck, pressing their bodies closer together and deepening the kiss to a more passionate level of affection. Completely losing themselves in each other, they continue to trade fervent kisses, their lips sensually caressing the other's in such a way that it causes couple around them to blush deeply.
With one last lingering caress, Kai and Miguel reluctantly pull back from the kiss. They lovingly rest their foreheads together as they smile softly at each other. Kai tilts his head to the side for them to kiss again when the sound of someone snorting behind them pulls them back.
"Jeez," the familiar and arrogant voice says. "Why don't you two get a room already?"
Pulling away from Miguel, Kai turns around and nearly flattens Rick with an icy glare. "Well then, Rick. Why don't you take your own advice and take Michael with you? After all, you two are dating, aren't you?"
Rick splutters for a moment and Michael almost chokes on his drink, spitting out on the table in front of him. Kai smirks as the others around them chuckle at their reactions and he turns to Miguel, lifting his arms and placing them around his neck.
Miguel smiles. The cool and collected Kai is back.
And he belongs to him.
The end! I hope you liked!
