Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblades. If I did, I'd have Kevin in every single episode!!
Until You Catch Me Chapter 7
Gary was sitting against the brick wall behind the Grocery store when Rei and Kevin found him. The bigger boy seemed to be out of breath and unhappy sitting there. He had this sad look in his clouded eyes and was completely oblivious to the world around him. A mosquito could land on nose and he wouldn't even notice! Heck, he didn't even notice that Rei and a still singing Kevin were right beside him! All train of thoughts was focused on only one thing.
No More Cake...
"Yo, Gary!!! Snap out of it!! You're starting to scare us!" Kevin stopped his singing to wave a hand in front of Gary's unseeing eyes.
"Gary, what happened? Did Dai Mao do something to you? SPEAK TO US!!!"
"..." No answer.
"Come on Gary!!!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaaarrrrryyyy..." Rei nudged Gary by the shoulder.
"..." Still nothing.
"OOOOOOoooh Man... What do we do? Gary's totally out of it!! I bet that fat bastard mooned Gary. That has to be it! Gary must be in shock from his ugly ass. Ugh! So gross... Or maybe-"
"Kevin, can you keep your mouth shut for a minute!?" Rei interrupted. Not only was Kevin's trail of speech going to places Rei didn't even want to think of, but he also needed to concentrate on a plan to get Gary back to normal.
"We have to find a way to get him back to normal. If we don't, Mariah is going to have our heads on a platter!"
"Erm..." Kevin thought about it for a bit... the picture of Mariah holding a butcher knife kept him from thinking straight.
"How about a hot chili pepper? It always works!" Kevin grinned triumphantly.
"Hmm... Good idea, but there's one problem. Neither of us has one!" Rei mentally noted to keep a chili pepper in his pocket at all times... just in case.
"Oh gee. I didn't notice!" Kevin remarked sarcastically.
"...Hmm...I wonder." Rei muttered. "Hey, Gary! I'm making chocolate cake at my house today! All for you."
That sure got Gary's attention. His eyes came back into focus and the unhappy look washed away with a joyful smile.
"Cake!" Gary stood up from his position on the ground and grabbed Rei's collar, thus lifting Rei above the ground by a few centimeters ((A/n: I'm Canadian people, if you're wondering why the measurements are sort of unfamiliar to you.)). "For me?"
Rei gave a small laugh at the large boy's reaction. "Yes, for you."
"Man, Gary, is that any way to treat the guy who's going to make you cake?" Kevin questioned.
Gary quickly dropped Rei and moved away from him so he could give the boy some space to breathe. Unfortunately for Rei, the space given wasn't his very long for it was taken away by a crushing hug from Gary.
"I owe you big, Rei!" The happy mood emitting from Gary was infectious for all three of them were soon laughing at the large boy's reaction. Soon the three White Tigers were heading to Rei's house with a jolly aura.
***********
At Rei's house...
"Um...Rei, do you even know how to make a chocolate cake?" Kevin asked uneasily when news that Rei's mom was out helping out Lee's mother with her garden.
"Aw, come on, Kevin! Practically all the guys in my family are cooks! What makes me any different?"
"Well...For one thing, you burnt you cereal back in kindergarten when we were out camping...How you managed that, I have noooooo idea. Oh and there was that time with the live chicken you tried to boil. And then the time when you..." Kevin trailed off to think of other incidents involving Rei and mishaps with cooking.
"OKAY, OKAY! I get the picture. But you forget that all those incidents happened BEFORE my uncle taught me how to cook!" Rei winked and flashed a reassuring grin to Kevin.
"Erm...but still... I don't think this is a good idea..."
//Whatever you do, don't let the small one have any chocolate. // Driger warned Rei out of the blue, which made the Chinese boy jump in surprise.
/Warn me before you do that! And what do you mean don't let Kevin have any chocolate? /
//Chocolate makes monkeys overly hyper for long periods of time. I highly doubt you would want the small one to make any more mischief.//
/Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back it up there! First of all, why are you calling Kevin a monkey? And why can I talk to you? And how come I can talk to you now, of all times? And-/
//All will be answered later, young master. Right now, your friends are talking to you, and you have a cake to bake.//
"Heeeeelllllllooooooooo!?!?!?! Calling out to Rei! Come back to earth!!!" Kevin was frantically waving his arms in front of Rei.
"Yeah, what?"
"You zoned out there for a moment. Anyways, Gary's stomach is making loud sounds. I think you should start making that cake you promised." With that said, a loud gurgling sound emitted from Gary who was sitting patiently at the Kitchen table.
"-_-; Sorry about that...I'm really hungry."
"Okay then. Kevin, help me get the ingredients. You're going to help me."
"Do I have to?" Kevin whined pitifully.
"Yes." Rei.
"But I can't cook well!! Did you ever see me make cookies? They were BUBBLING!!"
"I don't care. I'm not making this by myself."
"I refuse."
"You're going to help me or I'm going to kick you out of my house!" Rei glared
"No. Cooking sucks! Especially with my luck. I refuse to help you." Kevin glared back.
Glare.
Glare.
Glare. Twitch.
Glare. Blink.
And so the glaring contest continued until...
GRUMBLE. GRUMBLE. EEKK...
Both glaring boys jumped out of their skin. It should seem that Gary's stomach was getting impatient.
"Can you hurry up? My stomach is hurting..."
"Uh, sorry Gary. We'll start right now." Rei said hurriedly. "Lead away Mr. I'm-such-a-great-chief-there's-no-way-we're-going-to- burn-the-house-down." Kevin grudgingly mumbled.
So without another word, Rei and Kevin gathered all the ingredients needed for a cake while Gary sat at the kitchen table clutching his poor tummy.
"Okay, Kevin. First we need flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Then we add the custard powder and cocoa. Quit looking at me that way, Kevin. I know what I'm doing! And then water...Here, why don't you stir."
Kevin obediently mixed everything together while Rei poured the estimated amount of ingredients. Thought Kevin would never admit it, cooking was kinda fun in a weird sort of way. He really liked creating patterns in the batter while Rei added more and more stuff to the concoction. 'Heh, who would of thought cooking would be so fun! When your not burning stuff, that is.'
"Hey, can you measure me some milk while I finish stirring this?" Rei asked while wiping his hands on a dishcloth.
"Erm...Okay." Kevin dutifully got the milk while Rei took over Kevin's job. Once he came back with the milk, Rei was expertly stirring the mixture while looking over the recipe. Kevin plopped the milk on the counter and lost himself watching Rei's hands complete it's task.
"Great! Now all we have to do is pour this into the cake tin, and pop it in the oven." Kevin watched Rei intensely as he almost gracefully put the mixture into the oven. It was one of those moments where you're so mesmerized by the action that you're almost sorry that it was over.
"Okay, now to make the icing." Rei muttered while gathering the ingredients.
"You mean there's more!?!?!" Kevin groaned, but inside he was smiling. Yeessss!! Maybe he could swipe some icing when Rei isn't looking...
"Yep, if we leave it the way it is, it will be a very plain cake. Okay, help me stir while I find where my mom put the icing sugar."
"Please hurry!!" Gary moaned when he sniffed the aroma of cake in the air.
The duo worked extra fast mixing the butter, icing sugar, cocoa and milk together in metal bowl. After Rei scolded Kevin from licking the icing and was reminded by Driger not to give Kevin anything too sugary, Rei took it upon himself to take out the now baked cake. Rei and Kevin now had the fun part of decorating their creation! Gary, who was too hungry to do anything else, lay limply upon the table like a dead fish.
"Whatever you do, Kevin. Don't eat any of this. Think of this cake as a thank you present to Gary for chasing Dai Mao away."
"Aw, but I'm a bit hungry too!"
//Don't let him have any!//
/I'm trying!!!!/
Kevin then had this crazy idea pop into his mind. He had no idea where it came from, but it worked when he was younger...
"Pweeeease!!!" Kevin eyes suddenly grew freakishly large and his lip lowered into a sad pout. His hands started fiddling around, and he was looking very intensely/cutely at the taller boy.
/Can't...take...pout.../
//No!! you must fight it!!//
"KEVIN!! Quit looking at me like that! You can't have any."
/Phew!! That was difficult to say... I hope your happy./
//It's for your own good.//
"But Rei!!! I don't understand why not! It's not good for Gary to eat ALL of it."
"Well, if you eat some, then you'll turn hyper. And I'll bet one of your top priorities is to burn all that energy off somehow. Who knows what destructive plans you'll come up with!"
"This what's it's all about!?!?! You think I won't be able to handle sugar!! I can't believe you!!" Kevin was so livid that he took the closes thing to him (which fortunately was not a knife) and flung it at Rei. Rei now had chocolate icing resting on his face.
He blinked once.
Then twice.
His mind just could register what the little thief had done.
/This is all your fault. Why did I even listen to you in the first place?/
//I'm sorry, young master. I did not know...I thought that his traits were very much like Galmon's...I didn't know that there were-er- slight differences//
/What are you talking about!??! Kevin's beyblade doesn't have a bit beast! You're confusing me!!!/
//I'll...er...explain later when you are less angry and not in the presence of guest...//
Guest...
"KEVIN!!!" Rei exploded which caused Kevin to squeak like a mouse running from a cat.
"Don't hurt me!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!" Kevin pleaded. "Gary, help!!" He turned to see what Gary was doing and found the larger boy already eating the freshly baked cake.
"-_-;OH suuuure. Stuff your face while I'm going to die." Kevin muttered under his breath. During this time, Kevin didn't see what Rei was doing. Big mistake. The smaller boy was immediately soaked to the bone with...milk?
Yep. There, in the middle of Rei kitchen, Kevin stood dripping with milk. His hair was plastered to his face, and his clothes where now all wet. It was definitely a Kodak moment with a chocolate covered Rei holding a now empty milk carton behind the milk soaked Kevin.
"I hate to rub it in, Kevin. But perhaps it's time to start drinking milk than wasting it."
"oOOOOoooOOOOhhhhh!! You-you... I h-hate you!" Kevin sputtered out. "You are SO dead! I swear!"
"Haha. Come on, Kevin. It's an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Now that we are even, let's drop the whole thing."
"Fat Chance!" Kevin tackled Rei down as soon as he got out of the initial cold shock of liquid penetrating through his once dry clothes. "You are SO going to pay!"
Kevin tried to keep Rei on the floor in a grip lock, but Rei being physically bigger and stronger was able to reverse his position with ease. Gary, who was now a quarter way finished the cake, watched with a knowing smile as the two boys wrestled it out on the ground. Oh how he loved watching his friends discover new things about each other...
"When will you learn to start drinking milk, Kevin? If you don't start now, I'll always be able to win against you." Rei kept Kevin pinned on the ground until he knew for a fact that Kevin was calm and composed.
"If I let you go, you're not going to run straight to the cutlery cabinet and pull out a fork will you?" Rei asked. In his response, Kevin shook his head grudgingly. "Okay then...I'll let you up."
Kevin got into a sitting position as soon as he was able to. He was still quite angry and hurt from Rei's remarks about milk. Though he didn't like to admit it, Rei's taunts stung. And Kevin wanted to ease that sting away as soon as possible...what better way then chocolate! Kevin suddenly noticed that Rei still had some chocolate on his face. He took a finger and wiped some off and stuck it in his mouth. He regarded the taste while Rei sat blushing at the sudden action Kevin did. He had to admit; Kevin's action both surprised and thrilled him at the same time. Why you ask? Well, he hadn't a clue.
"Eh...the icing tastes okay...considering that it was made by us."
"Just okay, huh?" Rei glared while trying to hide the blush that had formed on his face.
"Well, I might have been able to criticize more about the cake, but SOMEONE wouldn't let me have some." Kevin glared back, while eyeing longingly at the remaining chocolate on Rei's face. Gary smirked as he was almost done half of the cake. He watched as another glaring contest began between his two teammates.
Glare.
Glare.
Glare. Blink.
Glare. Twitch.
Glare.
Glare.
Glare.
Glare. Blink.
Glare. Blink. Blink.
And so it went for ten minutes straight. Neither boy really wanted to lose, and both boys wanted to make a point. Gary, who was now almost done the cake decided to fill the silence in the air with some conversation.
"Did you know that if you look into someone's eyes for over five minutes straight, you fall in love with them?"
"That's not true, Gary." Rei muttered, still not taking his eyes off Kevin. "Mariah, and Lee had a staring contest for a half an hour straight, and nothing happened."
"Yeah, and I intend to win this contest." Kevin stated aloud so that Rei was aware of his challenge.
"But if one of us doesn't stop soon, then no one will clean the kitchen up." Rei pointed out.
"And that's whose problem?"
"Both of ours." Rei's glare somehow intensified ten times, which made Kevin almost look away. "I suggest you give up and help me clean up."
Kevin couldn't match that stupid glare. It was too powerful! Sighing out loud, Kevin allowed himself to be beaten. At that moment, the chocolate icing looked *very* inviting... Him, being Kevin and all, couldn't resist temptation any longer and acted upon impulse to swipe the delicious substance.
This time he didn't wipe the chocolate off the skin quickly, but at a slow, careful pace as tried to obtain as much icing as possible. Kevin looked at the icing on his finger. 'Yum...' He licked the remaining chocolate from his finger.
"Heh, heh. Sorry, Rei. I don't mean to be rude, swiping icing from your face and all. But chocolate is my favorite!!! I can't resist! " Kevin said apologetically as he searched for a mop to clean the milk puddle on the ground.
Rei stood up quickly. At the moment, he struggled internally to touch his tingling cheek where Kevin had wiped the icing away. What was wrong with him? His hormones never reacted like this before. If it was his hormones, how would it explain the touch feeling so soft, and warm, and... WHOAH!! Where did that come!?!?! He was starting to sound like one of those romance novels for a second there. The ones where the guy starts noticing how soft and delicate the girl's skin is...wait a minute. If Rei was really thinking of Kevin that way for a second... and Kevin's a guy... then does that mean he's...
Gay?
HOLY CRAP... What the hell!?!?!
Rei's eyes widen in realization. That would explain the whole Mariah thing...Heck, it would definitely explain his sudden odd feelings and behaviors when Kevin was around... God, this was so weird... No. It can't be true! Can it? But it made so much sense...
"Yo, where do you keep your mop?" Kevin asked, startling Rei from his reverie.
"In that closet." Rei pointed while hurriedly going to the counter to clear all those dirty dishes.
"Oh, okay then..."
A satisfied Gary sat in the background, grinning knowingly at Rei. If there were one hidden talent the bigger boy had, it was the ability to read people's expressions. Judging Rei's, Gary guessed that the Chinese boy had figured out his inner feelings... Now the question was, how was Rei going to deal with it?

Until You Catch Me Chapter 7
Gary was sitting against the brick wall behind the Grocery store when Rei and Kevin found him. The bigger boy seemed to be out of breath and unhappy sitting there. He had this sad look in his clouded eyes and was completely oblivious to the world around him. A mosquito could land on nose and he wouldn't even notice! Heck, he didn't even notice that Rei and a still singing Kevin were right beside him! All train of thoughts was focused on only one thing.
No More Cake...
"Yo, Gary!!! Snap out of it!! You're starting to scare us!" Kevin stopped his singing to wave a hand in front of Gary's unseeing eyes.
"Gary, what happened? Did Dai Mao do something to you? SPEAK TO US!!!"
"..." No answer.
"Come on Gary!!!"
"Gaaaaaaaaaaarrrrryyyy..." Rei nudged Gary by the shoulder.
"..." Still nothing.
"OOOOOOoooh Man... What do we do? Gary's totally out of it!! I bet that fat bastard mooned Gary. That has to be it! Gary must be in shock from his ugly ass. Ugh! So gross... Or maybe-"
"Kevin, can you keep your mouth shut for a minute!?" Rei interrupted. Not only was Kevin's trail of speech going to places Rei didn't even want to think of, but he also needed to concentrate on a plan to get Gary back to normal.
"We have to find a way to get him back to normal. If we don't, Mariah is going to have our heads on a platter!"
"Erm..." Kevin thought about it for a bit... the picture of Mariah holding a butcher knife kept him from thinking straight.
"How about a hot chili pepper? It always works!" Kevin grinned triumphantly.
"Hmm... Good idea, but there's one problem. Neither of us has one!" Rei mentally noted to keep a chili pepper in his pocket at all times... just in case.
"Oh gee. I didn't notice!" Kevin remarked sarcastically.
"...Hmm...I wonder." Rei muttered. "Hey, Gary! I'm making chocolate cake at my house today! All for you."

Rei gave a small laugh at the large boy's reaction. "Yes, for you."
"Man, Gary, is that any way to treat the guy who's going to make you cake?" Kevin questioned.

/Can't...take...pout.../
//No!! you must fight it!!//
"KEVIN!! Quit looking at me like that! You can't have any."

"-_-;OH suuuure. Stuff your face while I'm going to die." Kevin muttered under his breath. During this time, Kevin didn't see what Rei was doing. Big mistake. The smaller boy was immediately soaked to the bone with...milk?
Yep. There, in the middle of Rei kitchen, Kevin stood dripping with milk. His hair was plastered to his face, and his clothes where now all wet. It was definitely a Kodak moment with a chocolate covered Rei holding a now empty milk carton behind the milk soaked Kevin.
"I hate to rub it in, Kevin. But perhaps it's time to start drinking milk than wasting it."
"oOOOOoooOOOOhhhhh!! You-you... I h-hate you!" Kevin sputtered out. "You are SO dead! I swear!"
"Haha. Come on, Kevin. It's an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Now that we are even, let's drop the whole thing."
"Fat Chance!" Kevin tackled Rei down as soon as he got out of the initial cold shock of liquid penetrating through his once dry clothes. "You are SO going to pay!"
Kevin tried to keep Rei on the floor in a grip lock, but Rei being physically bigger and stronger was able to reverse his position with ease. Gary, who was now a quarter way finished the cake, watched with a knowing smile as the two boys wrestled it out on the ground. Oh how he loved watching his friends discover new things about each other...
"When will you learn to start drinking milk, Kevin? If you don't start now, I'll always be able to win against you." Rei kept Kevin pinned on the ground until he knew for a fact that Kevin was calm and composed.
"If I let you go, you're not going to run straight to the cutlery cabinet and pull out a fork will you?" Rei asked. In his response, Kevin shook his head grudgingly. "Okay then...I'll let you up."
Kevin got into a sitting position as soon as he was able to. He was still quite angry and hurt from Rei's remarks about milk. Though he didn't like to admit it, Rei's taunts stung.

And so it went for ten minutes straight. Neither boy really wanted to lose, and both boys wanted to make a point. Gary, who was now almost done the cake decided to fill the silence in the air with some conversation.
"Did you know that if you look into someone's eyes for over five minutes straight, you fall in love with them?"
"That's not true, Gary." Rei muttered, still not taking his eyes off Kevin. "Mariah, and Lee had a staring contest for a half an hour straight, and nothing happened."
"Yeah, and I intend to win this contest." Kevin stated aloud so that Rei was aware of his challenge.
"But if one of us doesn't stop soon, then no one will clean the kitchen up." Rei pointed out.
"And that's whose problem?"
"Both of ours." Rei's glare somehow intensified ten times, which made Kevin almost look away. "I suggest you give up and help me clean up."
Kevin couldn't match that stupid glare. It was too powerful! Sighing out loud, Kevin allowed himself to be beaten. At that moment, the chocolate icing looked *very* inviting... Him, being Kevin and all, couldn't resist temptation any longer and acted upon impulse to swipe the delicious substance.
This time he didn't wipe the chocolate off the skin quickly, but at a slow, careful pace as tried to obtain as much icing as possible. Kevin looked at the icing on his finger. 'Yum...' He licked the remaining chocolate from his finger.
"Heh, heh. Sorry, Rei. I don't mean to be rude, swiping icing from your face and all. But chocolate is my favorite!!! I can't resist! " Kevin said apologetically as he searched for a mop to clean the milk puddle on the ground.
Rei stood up quickly. At the moment, he struggled internally to touch his tingling cheek where Kevin had wiped the icing away. What was wrong with him? His hormones never reacted like this before. If it was his hormones, how would it explain the touch feeling so soft, and warm, and... WHOAH!! Where did that come!?!?! He was starting to sound like one of those romance novels for a second there. The ones where the guy starts noticing how soft and delicate the girl's skin is...wait a minute. If Rei was really thinking of Kevin that way for a second... and Kevin's a guy... then does that mean he's...
Gay?
HOLY CRAP... What the hell!?!?!
Rei's eyes widen in realization. That would explain the whole Mariah thing...Heck, it would definitely explain his sudden odd feelings and behaviors when Kevin was around... God, this was so weird... No. It can't be true! Can it? But it made so much sense...
"Yo, where do you keep your mop?" Kevin asked, startling Rei from his reverie.
"In that closet." Rei pointed while hurriedly going to the counter to clear all those dirty dishes.
"Oh, okay then..."
A satisfied Gary sat in the background, grinning knowingly at Rei. If there were one hidden talent the bigger boy had, it was the ability to read people's expressions. Judging Rei's, Gary guessed that the Chinese boy had figured out his inner feelings... Now the question was, how was Rei going to deal with it?
