“I love you.” He said, large crimson eyes unblinking, soft smirk painted against the ivory of his skin.

“I love you too.” There he was, dark eyes twinkling, lips puckered up in a thoughtful manner, and long fingers reaching out for the other boy.

Then there were fingers in his hair.

Then soft lips were pressed against his.

Then they sinned.

“I hate this movie.” Tyson scowled and smacked Kai on the head with a pillow. “Why’d you choose such a stupid movie?”

“Because I like this movie.” Kai responded, rubbing his head with a small pout before grinning coyly at the shorter boy. “But if you don’t like it, I know something more interesting we can do.”

“Show me.”

That was all Kai needed, and he shoved Tyson harshly against the soft couch.

“I will.” His voice was low and husky against Tyson’s ear.

I

“Six months now?” Max winked playfully and nudged Tyson happily. “You look so damn happy. Makes me wish I were in love with Kai”

Tyson laughed. Really laughed, dipped his head back and laughed. “Yea I’m happy.”

“You really love him.”

“Yea, I do.”

And that was that.

The phone was sweaty in his palms.

His brows were furrowed, corners of his lips turned down, eyes glossy with unshed tears.

“Where are you Kai?” Tyson whispered softly, one finger twisting nervously around the cord.

“Somewhere.” The answer was so cold.

“It’s late, you should come back.”

“God Tyson, I’m just out okay? Stop being so clingy, what are you, my mother or something?”

That hurt. The finger left the cord, and went to being nervously chewed on.

“Oh…I’m sorry…it’s just…well, come back soon okay?”

“Yeah whatever.”

The dial tone was loud against his ear.

The finger left his mouth.

He spent the whole night waiting for Kai to come back.

“What’s this?” Kai frowned and poke at the thing on his plate.

“I made it. It’s chocolate mousse.” Tyson grinned proudly. “Go on try it.”

Kai continued to make a face, the expectant grin on Tyson’s face fell.

“What’s wrong Kai?”

“It looks like dog crap Tyson, I’m not eating it.”

Tyson nibbled on the prongs of his fork, “come on…try it…please? For me?”

“Hell no.” Came the harsh reply. The dark glare that was being sent his way silenced Tyson.

Without a word, he stood up, completely ignoring the loud screech of protest the chair made as it scraped against the tiled floors, grabbed Kai’s plate and stormed into the kitchen.

“Don’t get all pissy on me Tyson.” He could still hear the coldness in Kai’s voice even when he turned the water on full blast and smashed the plate against the sink.

Five hours of baking, cleaning up the mess, re-baking and re-cleaning all down the drain.

When
---

“What are you doing” Tyson hummed some tune that he had hear Max humming, and pretended to not hear the demanding tone in Kai’s voice.

“I’m cleaning our room.” He turned around and smiled at the scowling Kai who was leaning against the bedroom doorway.

“You threw my favorite sock away.”

“…Kai they’re holey. Besides, you never wear them anymore.”

“You shouldn’t touch my stuff without asking me.”

Tyson set the dirty cloth down. “Excuse me?”

“I said, you shouldn’t touch my stuff without asking me for permission.” Kai replied, a hand on his waist, the other gripping tightly on his socks.

He didn’t hesitate; he put the Windex next to the cloth, marched over to Kai and promptly slapped him across the face. “Don’t you ever fucking talk to me like that ever again.”

Kai left right after.

He spent the rest of the afternoon, crying.

The dirty cloth and Windex lay forgotten.

It was four in the morning when all of a sudden he sprang up from bed.

This had to stop.

No more of this.

So right then, in his button down blouse, and baggy sweatpants, he decided he would simply stop caring.

Tyson Kinomiya was going to take it no more.

---
Don’t.
---

There they were, side-by-side, practicing, eyes focused on their beyblades, Max egging them on, Rei offering tips from the sidelines and Kenny observing their skills.

But that was it.

Just a battle.

When the match was over Kai pulled Tyson aside and drew him into a hug.

But Tyson had stopped caring.

He lay cold and unmoving.

Then Kai finally noticed.

“I’m sorry.” He said, large crimson eyes unblinking, a solemn look set against the ivory of his skin.

“I’m sorry I trusted you.” There he was, dark eyes unblinking, lips puckered up in a thoughtful manner, and long fingers curling around the sleeve of his jacket.

Then there were fingers in his hair.

He stopped them.

He pried the fingers off, he pushed the body away and then he left.

And that was that.

---
It
---

Never say I love you when you don’t mean it.

Never forget to cherish the one you love.

Never wait till the last moment.

Never wait till their eyes are brimming with betrayal.

Never wait till reality slaps you in the face.

Never wait till its too late.

Never be the arrogant fool I was.
