A Word For A Tale

Poke

"How did you meet each other?" asked Ray.

This question was often asked to the dual haired man. Mainly because each times the question was asked, he would chuckle and go away...The shock of seeing him chuckling was enough to make the people momentarily forget about the current subject, letting Kai enough time to escape.

But this time...

"Why do you want to know?"

They were actually three, all seated at a table of a restaurant. All in casual clothes, which indicated they were just passing a good time between friends. The restaurant itself was pretty cozy.

"Kai," began a blonde next to them. "You and Tyson are as different of each other as the sun and the moon. We want to- Wait. Everyone want to know how you met. You can't tell us how you got together, so the least you can do is to tell us how you met."

The crimson eyed man glared at the blonde.

"You know how we got together, Tate. And you too Kon."

"Then tell us exactly how you became a couple, Kai," added the raven.

The glare was directed to Ray now.

That was a low blow. And the neko-jin knew it. Why was it a low blow? Because how Tyson and Kai began to date was a mystery. Even to the two men in question. It just...Happened...When, where and how were never known.

Ray rolled his eyes. "You've been avoiding this question for years now. Don't think we'll let you go away now we've got you."

Max then poked Kai's cheek. "C'mon old sourpuss. Tell us."

The dual haired man swatted the hand away with his left arm. "Don't do that."

The blonde grinned. "You hate it when we poke you, but Ty does that everyday. And you actually smile back at him!" He gave Kai a pointed stare. " And don't tell us it's because he's your lover, we know it's not the reason."

Kai was about to say something back, but was interrupted by Ray.

"Well, if you really don't want to spit it, we can always try to pry it out of you later since it looks like we have something else we need to pry out of you..."

Kai raised an eyebrow.

The gold eyed man grinned, showing his fangs in his process. "By the golden ring I saw on your left hand's ring finger when you swatted Max's hand away, I guess you finally asked him. And that his answer was positive."

The eyes of the blue eyed man widened hearing this, immediately reaching out for the hand in question. Ray was right. There was indeed a gold bang around the ring finger. The ring was pretty simple. Nothing extravagant, just a simple plain ring, but knowing his friend, the blonde was sure some words were engraved on it. Then Max smiled and looked up from the ring to stare at the dual haired man.

"So...When is the honey moon?"

That "innocent" question threw the neko-jin into a laughing fit and caused the future married man scowl and retreat his hand, though if one took a closer look, they could see a faint blush on him.

"Don't forget to send us invitations for the wedding," teased the raven after he calmed down.

"Say. Do you think you'll ever adopt?" asked Max.

Now the blush was apparent on the dual haired man.

"I think they would. Tyson likes kids," answered Ray before Kai could say anything.

"Me too, how many you think? Not that I'm saying they'll take a dozen of kids, but..."

"Yeah, I understood what you meant. I think they'll have only one kid...Actually, maybe two."

"Boys? Or girls? Or one of each? I'll go with one of each."

"If you ask me, they'll have two boys, but..."

After that, Kai blocked the conversation from his brain. They seemed to forget he was sitting next to them. And he was quite happy with it too. He didn't want to hear his friend discuss about his life with his future husband.

A small smile graced his lips. Future husband. He loved how that sounded. His thought wondered to the first subject of this conversation; how Tyson and he met.

A little boy no older than 7 was lying under a tree in the park. His red eyes staring up at the sky. Every kids were playing, but not this boy. He was just lying there, on the soft grass, staring lazily at the clouds floating. His hair, which was two colored, was hanging on his face. His long white scarf swaying softly with the wind.

He closed his eyes, listening to the laughter of other children, the branches and leaves dancing with the wind and the soft song of birds. He was enjoying the peace he had.

He didn't know how long he lied there, but the only thing he was sure was that he only opened his eyes again when he felt something poke his cheek.

He came face-to-face with another kid around the same age as him. Two wide blue orbs blinked down at him.

Kai was pulled out of his thought when he felt something poke his cheek. He turned to the side to see that it wasn't something, but someone.

"Are you sleeping?" asked the new boy.

"Are you sleeping?" asked Tyson.

He stared at the finger that was still on his cheek, then took the hand with his left one, intertwining their fingers in the way. He directed the back of the hand to his mouth and kissed the golden band around one of the fingers. Kai stared at his fiancé and smiled softly before replying.

"Maybe..." the dual haired boy answered.

"Perhaps I'm still dreaming..."

"What's your name?"

"...Kai. Kai Hiwatari..."

"I'm Tyson Granger! Nice to meet you Kai!"

THE END

This time, it was a short One Shot! ^^

Poke... *grins widely* You can't know how much I love that word. Or how much I love to poke people! I loved writing this one! ^^ Though I began to get off-topic after I wrote the part when Ray noticed the ring. *sweatdrops*

I think what irks me the most when I write is I'm trying to not repeat a name. "Dual haired man", "crimson eyed man", "red eyed man", "future married man", "the raven", "the raven haired man", "the gold eyed man", "the neko-jin", "the blonde", "the blue eyed man" and blah, blah, blah...It gets old. But it's kind of a must when I write a scene with people the same gender or we won't know who said that or who did this. And even if I put a big space between each use of those synonyms for the characters, it still got on my nerves...English or French, verbs and synonyms still hunt me! T^T Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllpp!

Anyway. Thanks for reading! ^^ I hope you enjoyed it.

First Edit (04/26/2012) : Coming back on all the fics I posted up to now to see if I can correct some of my mistakes I made when I wrote them. ^^ Don't worry, nothing of the story itself has changed, just the grammar and spelling mistakes.
