Heya readers! Good evening!...or morning...or afternoon...or night?...anyway! Good whatever-time-you're-reading-this! It's been a while! (well, if you're not reading My Moonlight, it's been a while) The proof is that my dictionary has been collecting dust...poor dictionary...
I thought I deserved a break from school so I ditched my homework to write this! ;D
Alright, I won't rant or babble so let's just get on with it.
Today's word : bullet!
Warning: AU (I suppose), shounen-ai (KaTyKa and mention of ReixMax), swearing, rated T and maybe OOC.
Disclaimer : I don't own Beyblade or its likeness, I only own this story, though I don't get money from it.
Sorry for whatever mistakes you'll see! And don't be shy to tell me if you find some! :D
Hope you enjoy! ^^
A Word for a Tale
Bullet
Before I knew it, my breath was taken away from me and I was clenching my shirt at where I was hit; my heart.
I struggled to breath again. And I swear I would have difficulty to stand if I wasn't sitting.
I was in a nightclub waiting for Max and Rei since everyone else was already there. I could spot some of our friends on the dance floor and the others just decided to talk around some beers.
I wasn't bleeding or anything, don't take it wrong. It's not like I was it by a missile or anything...but in a way, it's far worse than a bullet. I was just hit by...
Urgh! I can't believe I'm going to say that, but...
I was hit by looooove.
Oh Dragoon! That sounded way too much like those old clichés where the guy finally finds the love of his life and chases her until he finds the woman again
...In my case, it's a little different though.
I quickly gulped down my shooter and asked for another since the barman was staring at me strangely.
Why it's different?
Well, first, it's like, the reallife. So get real too!
Second, I won't chase after the "love of my life" so to speak. Hell, I wouldn't even know where to search or who for that matter.
Third and last, and the most important point, my supposed "one true love" is a man...
Yeah...you see the difference now?
I shuddered lightly at the thought.
...Hey. I have nothing against those kind of relationship. Two of my best friends are together and they are both men, so don't even go there with me!
But having homosexual or bisexual friends is one thing, discovering that you are possibly gay, or in the very least bi, is another thing...
...
...Am I bi?
Well, it's not really like I looked at girls that way before. I guess I just never thought about stuff like that. Girls, dates, kisses and stuff you know. It just wasn't my thing. I was more into making friends and hanging out with them. I didn't try to flirt or get a phone number or a date...
Now that I think about it, there were many times people flirted with me...and mark my words here when I say "people" and not girls.
...Oh my Dragoon...I think Hil had a crush on me once.
There were those supposed signs I heard about and never saw...wait. No, I saw those signs once...
Oh yeah. I saw those signs then.
When Rei and Max were still tiptoeing around each other to the point of driving everyone else crazy.
I groaned aloud, attracting some of my friends' attention.
"You remember the time when Rei and Max had the hots for each other and everyone could see it besides them?" I asked.
My answer was some groans, giggles and snickers and a full debate on how long it would've taken to get those two together without any exterior help.
Yup. It was that bad.
Now back to my little crisis...well, it could be just some kind of physical attraction right? Like lust? I mean, the guy was hot. Sharp crimson eyes, pale creamy ivory skin, dual colored hair, slender yet ripped body...Shit. I think I'm drooling.
I discretely whipped my mouth with my gloved hand.
No need to have my friends on my case. All the girls will just keep bugging by asking me who it is and the guys will tease me to death...okay. It's an understandable reaction. I mean, it's kinda like when one of your friend has a crush and you can't help but want to tease them right?
A crush?...
...A crush...
...My first crush...
...
...Tyson Kinomiya, age 24, crushing for the first time on a guy he never saw before...
...
...I'm soooo not gonna be able to live it down if the others learn that.
Alright. So, it's my first crush. Big deal. Haha...
...
...I need another drink.
I gulped down another shooter before asking for a beer this time...what? Just because my sexuality (or my asexuality in this case) is questioned doesn't mean I have to drown it in alcohol.
I would very much like to not wake up with another tattoo somewhere on my body and not have any idea of where it came from...
And before you ask, yes, that's how I got my first tattoo.
Coming back to that "crush" now. I know I like his looks. Given. Now what about the rest?...and I don't even know his name.
I sighed.
Great...the first person I had an interest in is a dude I saw for a few seconds in a crowded nightclub. Just great.
...oh. I just noticed I passed the denial part.
Once, Max was somehow dared to give me a lecture on the different phases of being in love. I don't really believe in those phases, but one of them that often comes back is denial.
I guess we can say I was in denial at first, a light denial, but still a denial...
I suddenly froze, my hand still holding my beer was hanging over the table at one inch from my mouth. My eyes got wider and wider as I actually realized what I just implied.
WAIT! Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait! Back off! Back!OFF!
In love? Are you kidding me? I can't possibly be in lo-
"Hey Ty! Sorry we're late, pal!"
I sighed. Saved from my thoughts for the rest of the night. Thinking about my love life takes way too much energy from me.
"Rei and I were searching for one of his friends that came for a visit," the blonde explained sitting beside me.
"It's nothing. Everyone are all busy on the dance floor or drinking anyway," I replied looking at him. "A friend? Is it that loner you were talking about?"
"Yeah, but Kai's a good guy. He's just not the happiest person around you know."
I snorted. "From everything Rei told us, I'm sure everyone could tell he's the broody type."
"Which is why we're counting on you to make him more social. Now enough talking about him. Why don't you talk to him directly? They're coming our way. Hey Rei! Kai!" Max shouted while waving his hands frantically.
I shook my head at his antics and glanced at where Rei and this Kai were supposed to be...only to choke on my drink when I saw two red eyes staring at us.
The moral out of this?
Be careful guys. Love is a damned sniper ready to pull the trigger anytime and at anyone.
...And its aim is fucking accurate too.
THE END
...right. Sorry for the nearly-no-existing-katyka-action. I opened my dictionary and not even three words after, I was hit by inspiration (no pun intended) when I read the word "bullet". I was like "OMG! Love is soooo a fucking sniper ready to fire anyone!", and then that's how this short little story was written...anyway.
Oh shit. It's so late right now...whatever. I'll do my homework when I'll wake up tomorrow. Luckily for me, most of them are due for next week and not tomorrow.
Anyway. Good night or good day! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! ^^
First Edit (04/26/2012): Maybe I should have waited a little more to edit that one since I wrote and posted it not even a month ago...oh well. *shrug* Since I'm editing all my fics, why not edit this one too? ;P Again, the story itself hasn't changed, just the grammar and spelling mistakes...and some words I decided to change since it sounded better. :P
