Embrace

~ Part Three ~

At noon Kai didn't show up at their usual table for lunch. Tyson looked rather depressed about it, and Rei felt sorry for the younger blader.

"I'm going to go look for him and talk to him, okay, Tyson? You just go ahead and stick that note in his locker like you planned." Rei got up and grabbed his book bag. "I'll see you guys later, alright?" He bent and kissed Max on the cheek before walking off to look for Kai.

"It'll be okay, Tyson." Max reassured the bluenette. "Rei will get through to Kai."

Rei searched high and low for his captain but finally came to the conclusion that he'd left the school altogether. So Rei walked down to the park, hoping to find Kai there.

He got lucky. He found Kai sitting on a park bench, staring down at his blade. A slight wind blew his scarf around madly, but the teen didn't seem to notice. Rei walked over slowly, and sat down next to him.

"Hey."

Kai glanced at him once, and Rei swallowed back a gasp at the pure pain he saw there. My God. Rei thought. He must really love Tyson a lot to be so hurt over this. I have to fix it! I can't stand to see either of them hurting so much.

"Go away, Rei. Leave me alone."

"Nope. I can't do that. And don't glare at me. It's not going to work this time. I want you to listen to me for a moment, okay? Then you can do what you like."

"Hn."

Rei took that as acceptance. "Kai, you jumped to conclusions back there. That note…it was from Max not Tyson. Max and I are together now! It was him who was sending me my notes all along. I think if you thought about it a little clearer you'd figure that out yourself." Rei laid his hand on Kai's shoulder, not removing it even though he felt Kai tense under it. "Do you hear me, Kai? There's nothing between Tyson and I except friendship. I think I know that you've fallen for him…harder than anything else, haven't you? It's Tyson that you were planning on asking to the dance."

Kai hung his head, now feeling just a little bit stupid and totally humiliated. "Yes." Was all he could say. Rei sighed and nodded, removing his hand and leaning back against the bench.

"Thought so. Well, what are you going to do now? I'd suggest apologizing to Tyson about earlier. You know him! He'll forgive you - no questions asked.

Kai smiled slightly at that. "Yeah. I feel like a complete idiot now." Kai glanced at Rei, flushing slightly. "I'm sorry, Rei. I flew off the handle."

Rei laughed. "Hey! No problem. If you hadn't, I would have wondered if some alien had come along and stolen your body or something! It wouldn't be like you. And you have all the reason in the world to be jealous. Tyson's one of the most beautiful people I know. There's always going to be someone looking at him, Kai. My advice is that you remember that he's yours and that no one else has what you have with Tyson."

"And that is?"

"Love. Unadulterated, unconditional, eternal love." Rei winked at him. "And I imagine the sex will help too, once you get that far into the relationship."

Kai blushed and shoved Rei off the bench into a snow bank. "Cool off, cat. I don't think you and Max will be any better than Tyson and I, so just go stuff your head in that pile of snow over there." He gestured a pile of snow. Rei just grinned at him and got up, brushing the white stuff off his pants and following Kai back to school.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson stuffed the note in Kai's locker and turned to his own, gathering his books for his next class. Rei hadn't come back at lunch and Tyson was beginning to worry that maybe his friend hadn't been able to find Kai.

His fears turned out to be unfounded, though, because not a minute later, Rei and Kai came walking toward their lockers. Tyson looked at Rei, who was walking slightly behind Kai and saw the neko-jin wink and nod at him. Tyson smiled hesitantly at Kai when the older teen stopped in front of him and looked down at the floor in an uncharacteristic display of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Tyson, about earlier. I jumped the gun about the situation."

Tyson stared at him for a moment then broke out into a huge grin. After all, it wasn't everyday that one received an apology from the fiery cold captain. "It's okay, Kai. I'm just glad you're not mad at me, that's all." Tyson gave him a quick hug, stunning Kai enough that he didn't even have time to hug back, before heading off down the hallway. "I've got to get to class! I'll see you guys later!" He waved and called over his shoulder.

Kai stared after him for a while and jumped slightly when Rei nudged him with an elbow. "What?"

"Class, Kai. Get your stuff!"

"Oh, right." Kai opened his locker and frowned as another envelope fell out. He picked it up and stuffed it into his textbook, deciding to read it in class since he was already late.

Halfway through the last class of the day, Kai took it out and stared at it for two full minutes before carefully opening it. He unfolded the paper and read silently.

Hello, again, Kai! This time no more rhymes or poetry. If you haven't guessed who I am (and I'm assuming you haven't since you didn't confront me yet) then I suppose I'll just give you a chance to find out and decide if I even have a chance with you. I'll be at the dance tomorrow night, Kai. Think of it as a blind date. I'll be the one standing next to the DJ's booth holding a teddy bear with a white rose. If you think there's any chance for us, you can come up and say hello. If not, I'll see you around, and you'll never be bothered by me again, I promise. I'll see you tomorrow, my fiery Phoenix.

Kai refolded the paper and stuck it in his pocket. He tuned out the teacher and stared out the window, wondering briefly if Tyson would ever look at him the way he wanted him to. When the bell rang signalling the end of classes for the week, he got up and went to his locker to put his books away and get his coat.

The others were already there and actually waiting for him for once this week. Kai shrugged into his coat and pulled on his gloves. "Are you three ready for some training?" He asked Max, Rei, and Tyson. The three bladers groaned and gave him pleading looks.

"Aw! Come on, Kai! It's Valentine's Day tomorrow! Can't we have the day off for once? Consider it your present to us!" Max begged, giving him the puppy-dog, chibi-eyed, watery look. Kai sighed and sweatdropped.

"We have tournaments coming up, Max. We need to train!"

"Don't be such a wet blanket, Hiwatari." Tyson nudged him. "It's only one day."

If Max's look wouldn't work, Tyson's intense blue gaze sure did. "Oh fine. No training tomorrow. BUT…" Kai added before they could start cheering. "You have to promise me that you'll all work extra hard at the next practice session, alright?"

"We swear!" His team crossed their hearts.

He shook his head and smiled faintly. "Bunch of wise guys."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tyson looked at himself in the mirror for the twentieth time. {I don't know, Dragoon. Maybe I should wear the red one…}

{Tyson! For heaven's sake! Stick with the blue! It's more complimentary than the red.} Dragoon insisted, exasperated with the teen's sudden fit of fashion crisis.

"TYSON!" He heard his grandfather's yell from somewhere in the dojo. "YOUR PEEPS ARE HERE! HURRY UP!"

"I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, GRAMPS!" He yelled back. {You're sure, Dragoon?}

{I'm sure! Now GO!}

Tyson winced at that purring yell in his head and headed for the door. Halfway down the hall, he realized he'd forgotten the teddy bear and rose and ran back to grab them.

"Hey, Max! Rei! Are you guys ready to go?"

"Yep! Wow, Tyson…look at you!" Max stared at him, floored. Rei grinned, flashing his fangs, and whistled.

Tyson was wearing a pair of brand new black jeans with a metal, chain-link belt at his waist and a dark blue silk dress shirt that he'd left open at the collar. The belt was clasped together by a buckle that was shaped as a silver and blue dragon. His hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail, and he'd left the ball cap in his room. He grabbed a black leather coat from the coat closet and shrugged into it, pulling on a pair of black running shoes.

"Gee. I guess even Tyson can clean up well. Just wait until Kai sees you!"

Tyson turned an interesting shade of red and half-heartedly glared at Rei. "Oh…shut up. You two look great, too!"

Max was wearing blue jeans and a purple dress shirt, Draciel's bit hanging around his neck from a gold chain. He also wore a jean jacket that looked fairly new. Rei was in green and gold, having forgone his usual white and red look for a change. His sash shimmered at his waist and he wore a green headband with a gold and white yin-yang on it. He wore a white spring jacket and his arm was slung around Max's waist.

They walked over to Tyson's truck and got in. Tyson drove them to the school, joining in when a particularly good song came over the radio and all three teens started singing along.

"I hope the DJ's good this year." Max sighed as they got out and headed for the gym. "Last year was so boring!"

Rei nodded in agreement. "No kidding. It was all that country and western stuff. It got old after the first three songs."

Tyson shuddered. He hated country.

The met up with Kenny and Hilary, who informed them that Kai wasn't there yet. Tyson nodded and nervously hung around the DJ's booth to wait, in plain sight, holding the teddy bear and the single, perfect white rose.

Much to his disappointment, when Kai came in, he wasn't alone. Despite the instantaneous drool factor induced by Kai's clothing, the girl hanging on his arm made Tyson's heart drop from his chest to the floor and land with a 'splat'.

Kai on the other hand, hadn't even had a chance to look for the person he'd been hoping to see over there. He was too busy trying to disengage his arm from the grip of the rabid fangirl that was clinging to him.

"Look, kid. I'm not interested! I'm expecting someone, so could you please go away?" Kai tried, in a strained, forced-calm voice. It wasn't working, unfortunately. The girl just clung tighter. Finally, in a last ditch effort, he growled, "Do you mind?! I've got a boyfriend and I'm not interested! GET OFF!"

The girl stared at him in shock, her hands suddenly loosening their grip and Kai pulled away quickly. He gave her a death glare, making her shrink back and edge away. Turning on his heel, he stalked away to go in search of the others.

When he spotted them near the DJ's booth, he sighed in relief and made his way over…only to see Tyson standing there with a teddy bear and a white rose in his hands. Kai stopped and stared, realization hitting him and pure joy filling his head and heart.

To his shock, Tyson just looked at him forlornly, tears welling up and the bear and rose falling from his grip to the floor. Then the teen turned and ran! Just ran. Kai stared at the spot where Tyson had been, dumbfounded.

"What's up with him? Why'd he run away?" Kai finally managed to ask.

Rei sighed and shook his head, unable to say a thing.

Max sniffled and picked up the rose and bear. "Who was the girl, Kai?"

"Some stupid fangirl that latched herself onto me before I knew what was happening. She's not important! What's wrong with Tyson?" Kai grabbed onto Kenny's shoulders and shook him.

"ACK!"

Rei pried Kai off Kenny and pushed him towards the direction Tyson had run off in. "He saw you with the girl and jumped to conclusions…something like what you did. I'd suggest you go after him and explain that."

"Oh no…" Kai grabbed the teddy bear and rose and took off without a backward glance. The others watched him go, smiles on their faces.

"Think they'll make up?" Hilary asked her boyfriend.

"I hope so. If not, it'll be hell on their game."

"Chief!" They all chorused in exasperation.

"What? It's true!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kai had a pretty good idea where Tyson would be. He went up the fire escape on the side of the school, climbing the metal stairs until he reached the roof. And there was the blue haired blader, standing on one end opposite the fire escape and staring out at the lights of Bay City. His shoulders were shaking, and he was hugging himself against the cool breeze that ruffled his hair and clothes.

Kai slowly approached, and stumbled when he nearly tripped over a loose stone on the floor. "Ouch! Damn it!" He cursed.

Tyson whirled at the sound of that voice and stared at Kai, who was hopping on one foot and still cursing, clutching the teddy bear and the rose in one hand. "Kai?"

Kai stopped hopping and sighed, flushing a little. "Uh…hey." Unsure what to say or do, he went up to Tyson and held out the teddy bear and the rose. "You…you dropped these."

The tear tracks on Tyson's cheeks shimmered in the low moonlight. "Oh. Thanks." He took them, his voice dull and his mind numb.

Kai felt his heart clench at the sadness in his beloved dragon's voice. Now, of course, he could see the answer to all those clues in those notes. And he wanted more than anything at that moment to set the record straight and have Tyson in his arms - where the midnight blue-eyed teen belonged.

"Tyson…" He began then stopped, growling in frustration and running his hands through his hair. He had no idea how to say it! "Listen, you know how I overreacted yesterday about you and Rei?"

Tyson looked away and stared out over the city again. "Yes."

"Well, it seems I'm not the only one who can overreact. That girl downstairs was just some rabid fangirl. She jumped me outside and I couldn't get her off my arm until I got inside the gym." Kai stepped up next to him and thrust his hands into his pockets to keep from just reaching out and grabbing Tyson. "I didn't stand a chance."

There was silence for a moment as the World Champion absorbed that. Tyson hung his head and wiped at his eyes, suddenly giving a watery laugh. Kai gave him a side-glance and smiled.

Tyson shook his head, a rueful smile on his face as he turned to look at Kai. "I guess we're quite a pair, aren't we? Sorry, Kai."

Kai shrugged. "No problem. It happens to all of us, I guess." He gestured at the bear and the rose. "Are those for someone in particular?"

To his amusement, Tyson blushed hotly and refused to meet his gaze, holding them out to him. "Yeah…you could say that. I bought them with a certain fiery Phoenix blader in mind."

Kai lifted his chin with one finger and crimson flames stared down into deep pools of midnight blue. "Why didn't you just say so? You didn't have to go through all this just to tell me you like me, Ty."

Tyson shivered and raised his hands to lay them on Kai's strong, silk-clad shoulders. "I know…I just…I was afraid, I guess."

"Don't be. Never of me." Kai bent and brushed his lips over Tyson's, both gasping just a little at the sparks of heat that raced through them at such simple contact.

"Kai…" Tyson's hand moved of it's own accord and slid through his dual-coloured hair, gripping the back of Kai's head and pulling him down to press their mouths together more firmly. "Kiss me again?"

"Whenever you want, love." Kai said against his lips, then crushed his mouth to Tyson's, a low moan sounding in the night from someone's throat - his own or Tyson's it didn't matter. His arms banded around Tyson, his hands coming to rest on the bluenette's waist and pulling their lower bodies closer until Tyson was bent backwards slightly, Kai's mouth devouring the smaller teens hungrily. He thrust his tongue into Tyson's open mouth and was met with fierce competition for dominance by his beloved Dragon. Kai couldn't help the groan and duelled him back, their tongues twining and stroking one another insistently.

Tyson's head was spinning from that kiss. It was everything he'd ever imagined, everything he'd dreamed - and so much more. It was like drinking pure fire and he could feel his whole body flushing with heat. Oh how he'd wanted this…just this. He tunnelled the fingers on both hands through Kai's hair and moaned loudly, passionately kissing Kai back and letting him feel how badly he needed the older teen.

Eventually, they had to break apart to breath. Gasping in air, they clutched at one another and let their hands wander, as if to make sure they weren't dreaming that the other was really there and in his arms. Tyson shivered slightly and Kai held him closer, if it was possible, placing his mouth over Tyson's ear and whispering, "I love you, my Tyson, my Dragon. Be my Valentine?"

Tyson sniffled and burrowed his face into Kai's neck breathing in that uniquely Kai scent that reminded him of fire - burning wood and smoke, and under that a slightly musky scent that was all Kai. "Only if you'll be mine…for as long as time lasts?"

Kai pulled back slightly and cupped his face in his large hands. "You don't even have to ask." He kissed Tyson again, this time slowly and lovingly.

After a long moment of kissing and groping at one another, Kai simply held his World Champion against his chest, and they stood there looking out over the city bathed in soft moonlight and twinkling stars dancing overhead.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Tyson observed, snuggling back into Kai's warmth. "I don't think I've seen a sight like this in a long time."

"Yes, it is. But I see a more beautiful sight everyday." Kai grinned and kissed him on the cheek. "You."

Tyson blushed. "Oh, shut up. I am not. I suppose we ought to go back downstairs before the others come looking for us, huh?"

Kai groaned. He'd forgotten about the dance. "Yeah. Though I suspect Max and Rei are probably off somewhere making out rather than worrying over us."

Tyson laughed.

Once back down at the dance, they reassured the others that everything was fine. And Tyson finally got a good look at exactly what Kai was wearing, which led to uber drooling on the gym floor.

The Phoenix was in leather pants that hugged his extremely muscular legs like a second skin. His shirt was sleeveless and crimson and over that he wore a silken black dress shirt left unbuttoned completely. He wore black fingerless blading gloves and a black leather coat that was nearly identical to the one Tyson had worn to the dance. Tyson kept plastered to his side the entire evening, and towards the end of the dance, Kai finally had the idea to pull his boyfriend out on the dance floor for a dance.

They were followed by the rest of their team. Max and Rei were next to them on one side and Kenny and Hilary on the other. The song they danced to was Kiss From A Rose by Seal, and it seemed totally appropriate to the newest - or maybe the oldest couple among the Bladebreakers.

When the song ended, neither Kai nor Tyson wanted to let go of each other, and were profoundly grateful to the DJ when another slow song came on. This time it was Put Your Arms Around Me by Texas. They stared into each other's eyes, swaying together in perfect sync to the music and one another's movements.

"Hey, Kai?" Tyson whisper shouted over the music in his ear.

"Yes, love?"

"I love you." He placed a soft kiss on Kai's neck just below his ear and over the pulse that beat there. "I don't want to be alone anymore."

Kai held him tighter and nodded against his cheek. "You're not. Come home with me tonight?" He felt a tremor run through the Dragon's form.

"If you insist." Tyson smiled at him and they kissed passionately, oblivious to their surroundings.

The song ended and with it, the dance. Max and Rei had disappeared, and Kenny was helping Hilary put her coat on when Tyson and Kai found them.

"Need a ride home, Kenny? Hil?" Tyson jangled his keys.

"Nope. I borrowed my mom's car." Kenny smiled and took Hilary's hand. "But thanks! See you both Monday, okay?"

After they'd gone, Kai turned to Tyson and brushed a kiss over his mouth. "I've got my car, too, so I'll meet you back at my place, okay?"

"Sure. I'm right behind you, my love." They split up and drove to Kai's apartment in separate vehicles, meeting up in the parking lot and heading upstairs hand in hand.

Once through the door, Kai waited until Tyson had kicked off his shoes before gently pushing him up against a wall and plastering his mouth to Tyson's with a moan. Tyson kissed back with equal fervour, his hands sliding over the black silk shirt and shoving it off Kai's shoulders then running up and down Kai's well-muscled bare arms. "Hmm…Kai!" He gasped out, quickly shrugging out his jacket and letting it drop to the floor when Kai pulled away enough for him to do so. "You're so hot…and sexy…did I ever mention how much those muscles of yours turn me on?" Tyson placed frantic little kisses over Kai's neck and shoulders as Kai picked him up, growling lowly when Tyson wrapped his legs around Kai's waist and ground their groins together to create a very pleasant friction.

"Shit, Ty…hold still! I didn't want to rush this…" Kai sat abruptly on his bed, Tyson straddling his legs and planted firmly on his lap, his Dragon's mouth cruising over whatever patch of bare skin he could find. He tried to remove the hands that were slipping under his crimson shirt and tugging it upwards but found he really didn't want to - and Tyson would have none of that either, drawing the shirt up over Kai's head and sighing at the perfection of the Phoenix's sculpted form under his hands.

"Look at you…so beautiful. Not even these scars do anything to mar that." Tyson traced his fingertips over the scars that crisscrossed Kai's chest, sneakily brushing them over his nipples on the way by and earning a low gasp from his lover.

"Tyson!" Kai's hands on his waist flexed and he trembled a little, capturing Tyson's mouth with his own and pulling the blue shirt out of his pants and up over Tyson's head. He ran his hands up and down his lover's spine, trailing his mouth down over Tyson's collarbone and nipping lightly with his teeth to hear the gasps and moans of pleasure from him. "God, I want you…" He moaned, overcome with emotion and desire. Tyson smiled seductively and sat up on his knees, reaching for his belt and undoing it. Kai's crimson eyes glazed over slightly, thanking Tyson silently for having very little modesty at this time, as he watched Tyson undo his jeans and wriggle out of them impatiently until he was sitting on Kai's lap completely naked except for a pair of black socks on his feet. Kai found it extremely difficult to tear his gaze away from Tyson's already leaking erection, but he managed it.

"Like what you see, lover?" Tyson's voice was husky. "I want you, too, Kai…naked, hot, sweaty, and under me…" he gently shoved Kai onto his back and slid down a little so he could go to work on Kai's pants. Kai watched him silently, biting his bottom lip as shockwaves of pleasure shot through him at the feel of Tyson's hands on his groin and over his legs as the younger teen peeled the leather pants off him. He dropped the pants on the floor next to the bed and stared at Kai, spread out on the bed before him and in all his glory. "My God…look at you."

Kai levered himself up on his forearms and exchanged heated glances with Tyson as he crawled up over his muscular form and let his body drop to cover Kai's with his own. Kai wrapped his arms around Tyson and rolled them over, pinning his wrists to the bed and kissing him once more with all the pent up lust he had. Tyson kissed back, struggling a little but rather enjoying the dominance Kai displayed and went limp, allowing Kai to do whatever he wanted. Kai broke the kiss, panting slightly and proceeding to kiss and nip his way down over Tyson's chest. He left a small bite mark over Tyson's heart where it pounded in his chest with a growl of, "MINE." Then he kept on moving lower until he reached Tyson's navel, dipping his tongue into it and swirling it over his skin, licking away the little beads of sweat that had formed on Tyson's skin, making him writhe under Kai.

"Kai! Oh my God…touch me please! I want to feel you…" Tyson moaned and gripped at the bed sheets, twisting them in his fists and spreading his legs at Kai's gentle touch. Kai stroked the inside of his thighs, revelling in the feel of that soft skin.

"Shhh…easy, lover. I want to savour this." He licked a wet path over Tyson's pelvis and placed wet kisses down his leg. "I want to make this first time good for you…"

"Please…" Tyson shuddered with the passion Kai's words invoked in him. "Kai, don't stop!"

Kai wrapped the fingers of one hand around Tyson's weeping cock and stroked him slowly, teasingly rubbing his thumb over the pink silken head and watching the white liquid there smear. Tyson cried out and his back arched slightly, trying to move himself closer to the pleasure. Kai smiled and lowered his head, taking the teen into his mouth and running his tongue up the underside of his rock hard length, tasting his lover's essence and making a sound of pure need in his throat.

Tyson shuddered again and wriggled under Kai's hands that were pinning him down to keep himself from choking. Kai brought him to the brink of release, then abruptly released him, leaning over to dig out a bottle from the bedside table.

"What's that?" Tyson asked dazedly, prying his eyes open to look at it.

"Lotion. I don't have any lube, love. I guess I'll have to go shopping." Kai used it to coat his fingers, then rubbed some over Tyson's virgin entrance. "Tell me if I hurt you, okay?"

Tyson gasped and shook his head when Kai slid a finger into him. "Not hurting…really not hurting!"

Kai smirked and slid in another finger, wriggling them around and stretching him a bit more. Tyson was shaking by the time he thrust a third finger into him and finally was able to brush a really sensitive sweet spot inside his lover that made the bluenette nearly scream as blinding white light filled his vision and pure want spread over every nerve in his body.

"AH! HOLY SHIT!! KAI…"

"There's the spot." Kai nodded in satisfaction and removed his fingers, using more of the lotion on his own aching, dripping cock. He positioned himself over Tyson and stared down into his eyes, his fingers searching out Tyson's and intertwining them together until they were gripping each other firmly. "Ready?"

"Ugh…now! Please, now…"

Kai thrust himself into the smaller teen with a sharp cry, feeling the slick walls convulse around him and making him shudder over Tyson. "Oooooohhhh yes…" he hissed, holding still for a moment.

Tyson whimpered and wiggled his hips, raising his legs to hook his ankles at the small of Kai's back and forcing the Phoenix to sink into him as deep as he could possibly go. They both cried out together and Kai couldn't help thrusting once more, then again, and again until they established a steady rhythm of in and out, in and out…

Tyson clutched at Kai's shoulders desperately, feeling the need for something that he couldn't quite identify. "I need…I can't…Kai, please…"

"Yes…I know…oh shit…" Kai panted, his head resting on the pillow next to Tyson's head as they moved together. "God yes! Tyson…let go, lover! Come…"

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! FUCK!" Tyson cried out suddenly, ecstasy exploding in his brain and sending him flying high. Kai covered his mouth with his own and drank down his cries of pleasure, letting himself follow Tyson into release. He quickly pulled out and collapsed over Tyson, drawing him into a tight embrace and rolling over onto his side.

They lay together panting and willing their hearts to quit beating so frantically, their hands stroking one another in appreciation and love.

Some time later, Kai brushed Tyson's hair from his face and kissed him softly. "God, love, that was so good. I love you."

"Hmm…" Tyson murmured sleepily, tracing patterns over Kai's chest with a fingertip. "I love you, too."

Kai cuddled him close. "You'll stay with me tonight, won't you?"

"Yes. I'd stay as long as you want me to, Kai." Tyson kissed him.

"I never thought you'd actually be here…in my embrace." Kai closed his eyes and smiled. "I think I could get used to that."

Tyson chuckled. "Well you're stuck with me now, love. So get used to it!"

Kai nodded. "Not a problem. Go to sleep now, okay?"

Tyson snuggled him like a teddy bear and nodded. "Yep. Good night, my Phoenix."

"Good night, my Dragon."
