A Blinding Love - Part 1

Kai Hiwatari walked into a diner in uptown Moscow, it was after seven pm and he’d come from visiting his grandfather in hospital. He was cold and miserable and hungry, he’s grandfather, Voltaire Hiwatari, managed to remain his grumpy self even with tube and drips in his old body.

Kai shook his head as he sat down in a booth after removing his coat and placing it next to him, the diner was warm and smelled of coffee and cake, the lighting was a burnt orange so it was easy on his eyes after the day spent in a bright hospital.

A waiter came over,

“Good evening sir, what can I get ya?” the boy no older than nineteen asked him holding a paper pad and pen lazily in his hand.

Kai moved his bangs from his face and glanced at the menu on the table, he scanned through it and sighed,

“I’ll have a strong coffee, black please and a toasted bacon and cheese sandwich…” he smiled at the boy who nodded and walked away.

Kai wasn’t hungry but he figured since he hadn’t eaten it would be best for him to do so, lest he get sick over Voltaire’s time consuming ability to be old.

He watched as a few people entered and left and some people talked louder than others, it was still relatively early and the city was still busy.

The young waiter returned to him and placed the coffee and sandwich in front of him and left Kai alone to his ‘dinner’. He sipped the bitter sugarless coffee and he sighed watching the sandwich, wishing it would come alive and dance for him to be entertained.

When he’d become so bored with life he didn’t know exactly, it could have been after he gave up Beyblading when he turned eighteen, or when he became a billionaire officially when he turned 21 earlier that same year and he was now head of several international companies…it was somewhere between it all that he’d lost the plot and everyday he told himself the same thing but the next day was always the same.

He sipped his coffee again and moved his ever irritating bangs from his face and grumbled about a haircut, which like everything else he thought about, would never happen. He looked around the diner and his eyes fell on a person entering the diner, he had a Siberian wolf/dog with him that Kai couldn’t help staring at, the pure white breeds were very rare to come buy these days and the one standing in the diner with its owner was beautiful and looked to be kept in greatest condition.

It was still a young wolf though and it seemed to be a serious type as it sniffed and scoped the area, Kai smiled at the wolf before looking at the owner who was exchanging pleasantries with whom Kai identified as the owner of the diner, an elderly woman with a kind smile.

She was holding his hand and talking to him as he smiled back, the wolf’s leash hung loosely in his hand and the wolf seemed to be very well trained as it didn’t move from its owner’s side.

He sipped his coffee again and watched as the wolf’s owner removed his two coats and the lady took them and he thanked her before walking in Kai’s direction, the wolf walking ahead, Kai didn’t wanna be caught staring so he turned to look away as they passed his booth and sat down in the one just across from his and a little ways behind.

He returned to his dull evening quietly and stared at the unentertaining sandwich before he looked up and from the corner of his eye he saw the wolf’s owner walk toward the rest room, leaving the animal sitting very well behaved in the booth, Kai found it odd that the animal was allowed in the diner but it was a very expensive dog, so he guessed it was almost human, he smiled at the thought and then frowned when he looked back at his sandwich.

With that he had a thought and he turned around in the booth to look at the wolf and he whistled softly to get the animal’s attention and it looked at him making a small curious whining sound, it’s pale blue eyes focusing on Kai who leaned his hand out and summoned him over,

“Come on boy…come ere’…” Kai said in a puppy talking way.

The wolf stared at him and Kai’s sweat dropped before he turned around and held one half of the sandwich in his hand and called again,

“Come on…come and get it…” he called but the wolf remained seated and then turned and made a happy whining sound.

Kai looked up to find the owner back at the table and looking at his pet,

“What’s the matter boy?” he asked and reached out slowly before patting the wolf’s head receiving whines of happiness and the animal’s tail to wag as he nuzzled his owner’s hand,

“What is it?” the young man asked again, who Kai noticed had very bright but uniquely colored red hair.

He felt like bad suddenly and dropped the sandwich back on the plate and stood up before approaching the owner,

“Oh, I think it’s my fault your pet is irritated, I was calling him over…” he explained, “…I apologize…” he smiled at the slightly shorter male who was a foot from him.

The red head turned to Kai but didn’t look directly at him and his hand remained on his wolf’s head,

“Oh…no it’s alright…Wolborg just isn’t accustomed to strangers…” he spoke and smiled and Kai saw a very attractive smile and extremely light blue eyes lined with dark black lashes and a sharp contrast to red hair and such pale skin.

“I noticed…” Kai smiled at the animal that sat sniffing the air, “…his very well trained…” he commented and looked back at the red head that wasn’t looking at him.

“Well he has to be…” he laughed softly and reached out to pet the wolf and Kai watched the animal accommodate his master’s hand.

The red head laughed again,

“I’m sorry, how rude of me…” he extended his hand in front of himself to Kai, “…my name is Tala Ivanov…” he smiled.

Kai took his hand and Tala continued to speak still just about looking at Kai,

“And this is my wolf, Wolborg…” he finished and the wolf barked once and raised its paw to copy Tala.

Kai smiled and took the wolf’s paw and shook both simultaneously,

“I’m Kai Hiwatari…nice to meet you both…” he smiled and nodded.

Tala smiled too and he looked toward the booth,

“Would you like to join us?” he offered.

Kai looked back to his seat and then at Tala who seemed to be waiting,

“Ah…yeah…thanks.” He smiled and sat and watched Tala sit slowly and stare at the table, the wolf licking his hand lightly.

Kai frowned and he started to realize something and he was about to ask when the same young waiter came over,

“Hey Tala, what’s it gonna be?” he asked happily.

Tala didn’t look at him but smiled,

“Hey Stavo, I’ll have my usual for me and Wolborg…” he paused and taped the table once softly, “…would you like anything Kai?” he asked still looking at the table.

Kai looked at Stavo who was looking at him and he shook his head,

“Um, no thanks…” he said and Tala nodded and Stavo looked at him,

“Alright, be back in ten…” he left the table.

Kai looked back at Tala and he tilted his head curiously and lowered his head to look into Tala’s large blue pupils, despite the slim line of his eyes and lashes and he saw how very pale blue his eyes were.

He sat back and glanced between Wolborg and Tala, unsure of if he should ask but Tala shifted seemingly nervous and he spoke,

“So Kai, do you come here often?” he reached out and nervously played with his pet’s fur.

Kai nodded and then he opened his mouth,

“Yeah…once or twice a week…and you?” he asked back.

Tala nodded slowly and seemed to look more at Kai now and Kai decided he was right about his assumption as Tala spoke,

“I am here every evening, my mother and father own the diner…I come here after I leave my last University class.” He explained with a smile.

Kai stared at him and he blinked,

“Can I ask you something…and I don’t mean to be rude…” he said and leaned forward.

Tala sat up straight and seemed to look directly at Kai,

“Is something wrong?” he asked in a concerned tone.

Kai felt nervous seeing how accurate Tala was suddenly looking at him but he asked anyway,

“No, I was just wondering if I was correct in assuming…” he paused.

Tala’s eye’s shifted to look at the table and Kai forced the question out of his mouth,

“…in assuming that your…um…visually impaired…” he felt like an idiot the moment he said the words.

He watched Tala’s eyes shift and the Tala’s hand started petting the wolf again but slowly and he parted his lips,

“You mean to ask if I’m blind?” he said more straight forward.

Kai nodded and then rolled his eyes at himself for being so stupid,

“Y…yes…if I’m not being rude…that is…” he said softly.

He was relieved when Tala smiled nervously,

“No you’re not being rude…I am blind…” he answered and absently brushed some hair from his face before sighing lightly and staring at the table.

The silence was deafening and Kai felt very awkward,

“Well…it was nice meeting you…I have to go…” he stood up and Tala’s eyes rose to where he had been sitting and he blinked,

“Oh…al…right…it was nice to meet you…” he said out aloud unsure of where Kai was.

Kai was grabbing his coat from his booth and walked back quickly to Tala,

“It was nice meeting you too Tala…enjoy your evening…good bye…” he turned and left feeling quite silly as he hurried to pay at the front desk.

Tala sat there and he slouched in his seat and Wolborg whined sadly noting Tala’s disappointment,

“Oh Wolborg…am I that unlikeable…?” he whispered to his pet that now lied in his lap on the seat.

Stavo came over and shook his head seeing Kai was gone and he placed Tala and Wolborg’s milkshakes down,

“Enjoy…” he smiled and left.

Tala smiled but didn’t look up; instead he continued petting Wolborg as he waited for the diner to close.

Kai closed the door to his pent house apartment in Moscow, silence surrounded him and he thought about going back down to his car and driving around just for the noise, but like everything else he thought about doing, he didn’t end up doing it.

He instead clapped once and the lights came on, illuminating the spacious and modernly styled apartment amply. He then removed his coats and he continued into his bachelor pad, flopping onto his dark wine red sofa that lined 2 of the walls in the apartment.

He looked up at the white ceiling and the bright lights, his auburn eyes focusing on the irritating bright lights and his thoughts trailed back to the male from earlier.

He had been embarrassed to ask if he was blind, Kai couldn’t understand why he hadn’t noticed it immediately from how he hadn’t looked at him but he didn’t notice, he shook his head and checked his watch before standing up and walking to take a shower and go to bed.
