Beyblade Fan Fiction ❯ Walking On The Sun ❯ Walking on the Sun ( Chapter 1 )

This has been in my mind since … forever so I'm happy finally to get rid of it…

The song is from a stupid little movie called `Thumbelina'. I don't like the movie but I don't really hate it either.. it's just a little too sappy for my taste..

 

Pairings; KaiTala (well.. kinda), BryanTala, LeeRei…

Summary; Kai explains what it's like loving Tala… and losing him…

 

I don't own Beyblade… //cries//…

Many people told me that when they look at Tala they think about ice and wolves and all those cold, heartless things. They never noticed how I frown when they say that. They just continue to talk about him like he's some kind of abominable snowman who freezes people just by touching them. The more those kind of people talk to me about him the more they anger me.

Nobody ever asked me if I agreed to what they sad. They just keep on blabbing nonsense about the redhead. If they had they would've known that I totally disagree with their theory about the wolf. Personally I thought Tala was warm, bright and wonderful. More wonderful then anyone I've ever met. Just like the sun...

 

Once there was the sun…

 

I had been talking to Rei once.. no erase that.. When Rei was telling me about what must've been half of his life and I was listening we, no, he somehow stumbled upon the subject that was Tala. Although I pretended not to be interested in the beginning I had to admit that I was listening intently to every word the tiger was saying.

I noticed how the tiger didn't compare my beloved to any cold or icy and silently I was very grateful for that. Rei kept on talking and talking until I snapped and started to fill in a few things which seemed to please him. The longer we talked the more things I started saying and somehow the tiger even managed to get a full sentence out of me.

I don't know what the hell had been wrong with me at the time but I had simply blurted it out just like that, without thinking of the consequences. “Loving Tala is like walking on the sun…”.

The Neko-jin was stunned into silence. I had to admit that it was a very uncomfortable silence. I never would've thought that I cared what the tiger thought about my crush and preferences. For several minutes he just stared at me with wide golden eyes and I had actually started to feel intimidated after a while.

Then he suddenly squealed in pure delight before tackling me to the floor and suffocating me with that bone-crushing hug of his. I nearly passed out before Rei realized I couldn't breathe. He released me instantly and apologized. When we were both sitting on the comfortable sofa again I couldn't help but notice that the tiger was no longer talking but simply staring at me with a bit of a smirk. A very cocky and annoying smirk.

“What!?” I finally snapped which only made his smirk wider and more arrogant then ever before.

“Oh nothing. It's just that I had always known you felt something for that redheadded captain.” He stated proudly.

I rolled my eyes but otherwise remained quiet cause I didn't want to give Rei other reasons to be smirking. God, I hated that smirk. But after several moments of smirking non-stop at me I couldn't help but smirk a bit myself which caused Rei to burst out laughing. I'm ashamed to admit I followed not long afterwards since I realized how childish my behavior was at the time.

“You two were meant to be you know.” The tiger said when he was done giggling like a school girl and I was done laughing while trying to stop myself from laughing which was rather strange and leaded to me making an ass of myself.

Nonetheless that litte statement was enough to lure me into a conversation where I actually talked and responded to questions. We discussed love, relationships and the love of my life people call Tala. It was a conversation I never, ever thought I'd have. Let alone with Rei Kon of all the people. But to my surprise the little pussycat knew a lot about those things.

He was extremely wise when it came to feelings and emotions. The tiger also caught me by surprise when he told me casually that he was married to Lee. He was 16 years old and married to Lee. I was so shocked I didn't even notice my jaw connecting with the floor…

Rei smiled at me frozen state, shook me out of my trance and said that the marriage was arranged.

“Doesn't that bother you..?” I couldn't help but ask.

“No”, he told me with a fond smile as he thought of his husband, “Lee and I had learned to accept that we would never be able to escape the marriage. We didn't like it when we first heard the news but as the wedding came nearer we actually fell in love with each other.”

“Does that always happen?” I wondered with a frown.

“No, it's really, really rare for someone to fall in love with the person he or she is betrothed to. It's even rarer for the both of them to fall in love with each other so lion and me are very happy that Buddha had blessed us so.”

I couldn't help but smile along with the tiger as he thought of his husband. I closed my eyes, smile still in place, and wondered secretly and silently if love would ever be so kind to me. If only I had known that hoping for the best didn't make love any more merciful. If only I had known...

 

Bright and warm and wonderful…

 

The tiger had become my closest ally since our little chat of confessions. I kept a close eye on him not wanting him to tell anyone that I had certain feelings for Tala. Since Rei was also a very good friend of the redhead I had to keep a close eye on him. The neko-jin had the habit of telling people things he wasn't supposed to without even realizing it. I didn't think he would let something as important as this slip but I wanted to be sure.

From time to time we would talk again. In our last discussion Rei had somehow managed to make me promise that I'd tell Tala the minute I see him again. I had never hated myself more. Not to mention the pure, venomous hatred I felt for that smirk of his. The cocky, bitchy little pussycat really got on my nerves sometimes and he knew perfectly well that he did.

The day after that my beloved redhead had actually called me and it was the most embarrassing thing that had ever happened to me. I had stuttered the entire time and both Max and Tyson witnessed it, laughing their heads off while Tala was getting worried and kept asking me if I was alright.

When Rei entered the room he glanced at my blushing face and at the two laughing morons who I was about to strangle and understood immediately. He grabbed the phone from my hand and asked Tala kindly to call back some other time then guided me to the couch and gave me a glass of water and, my absolute favorite of the list, he glared down Tyson and Max and gave them a piece of his mind.

To my utter delight Rei had them both apologizing to me but since I didn't think that was enough I told the tiger that I didn't accept the apology. The tiger glared thunder at the two younger Bladebreakers. It actually made me feel sorry for them but then again... nobody laughs at Kai Hiwatari and gets away with it...

Nobody, except for Rei, knows how I feel about the redheaded captain of the Demolition Boys. Every day I wake up nervous because I'm afraid Tala's gonna call or arrive on the doorstep and every time I tell Rei he tells me the same thing over and over again.

“The sooner you tell him Kai, the less painful it will be even if he does reject you. You're falling more for him every day. You're really just making it harder for yourself…”

The Neko-jin, to my distaste, notices how I become very grumpy and even more quiet when he tells me that. He'll then smile at me and somehow he's capable of brightening my day again. Usually by glaring at the dragon until he was the size of a peanut or by cooking me some delicious dish he learned while traveling.

When I told him that Tala reminds me of the sun he looked strangely at me and asked why. I told him casually that the sun makes people warm, fuzzy and comfortable.. most of the time… and that's the way Tala makes me feel. When he sighed and told me that was the most romantic thing he ever heard I, surprisingly, didn't feel insulted. In fact, I found it a compliment.

 

Shining like the love within my heart…

 

I was always staring at Tala whenever I got the chance. Sometimes I even purposefully hid behind bushes, walls or even people just to get a peek at the redheaded wolf of my dreams. I did it so much that it became a sort of hobby and yet it wasn't bad enough to be called an obsession.

Then suddenly, the same day I told the tiger about what Tala reminded me of, the phone rang. Rei picked up the reciever. At first he was smiling as brightly as ever which was enough to tell me that it was probably his husband, Lee. By the brightness of the smile he had plastered on his face a few moments later the wolf was there as well. Then, like he had never smiled at all, his face dropped in an almost dramatic way.

When he hung he looked at me with such a heartbreaking expression that the thought of Lee divocring him crossed my mind. But when I was about to ask the doorbell rang. Rei excused himself almost shyly before walking to the front door which confused me.

I decided to follow the tiger but when I saw him standing at the doorway laughing pleasantly with Tala I couldn't help but gawk at the beautiful redhead and forget all about Rei's sorrorwful look. The wolf smiled and waved at me when he spotted me standing not far away from them but being the idiot that I am I could only blink. Concern filled his eyes when I didn't wave back.

This was it… I had to tell him...

I signed deeply and let go all of the air I had been holding in. Then I collected all of my courage and walked over the one who held my heart. I opened my mouth to say something but Rei suddenly put his hand in front of my mouth and told Tala that I had a slight fever but it was nothing.

I frowned at Rei and it only deepened when he gave me another sad look. He shook his head and walked towards the kitchen. I hear another typical `Rei squeal' when the tiger spotted his husband who had sneaked in the back to surprise his `wife'.

Confused I shook my head and helped Tala with his bags. I suddenly noticed someone standing at the door. The person was glaring heatedly at me and I couldn't help but glare back at Bryan even if I didn't know why the falcon was leering at me in the first place. He glared back at me before tugging the bags out of my hands and following Tala upstairs.

I shook my head at his childish behavior and headed towards the living room to find Lee and Rei holding each other lovingly and whispering in each other's ear. I sign feeling envious of what the 2 have…

My head snapped back up and I turned around feeling hopefully when I heard footsteps heading downstairs again. I recollected my courage, ignored Rei who was calling my name and marched over to Tala… only to see him kissing Bryan with a loving passion…

My heart broke into tiny little pieces at the sight. My sun… my beautiful sun was gone…

When I think about Bryan, and I'm sure everyone agrees with me, I think about harsh Russian winters and psychotic killers who haunt the streets at night. It was surprising how nobody ever thought about the falcon that way. He was never the one to be compared to ice. He was compared to silver and moons while my beloved Tala was seen as an iceberg.

Winter. Cold, harsh Russian winters. That's what you remind me of, Bryan, and that's what you are...

 

Now there's no more sun…

Winter has killed everything…

 

I turn around feeling numb and dizzy to see Rei looking at me with an almost tearful expression. Lee holding him with worry, sensing something was wrong but he didn't spare me one look. The tiger took one step towards me sadly saying.. “Oh Kai, I'm sorry… I didn't know until a few minutes ago… I-”

“Shut up.” I whispered.

I know it was true. Rei was a sweet guy who helped me a lot with figuring out my feelings and stuff like that but, right now, that didn't matter. I hated him. I hated Lee who was glaring at me and calling me insensitive. I hated Bryan for taking away the only thing that I found worth living for. I hated Ta... no.. I didn't hate Tala. I could never hate him. I couldn't blame him...

The problem with love is that you can love whoever you want... but so can he... and the worst part is that true love never, ever dies. So even after all these years, after so many painful, lonely years, I still couldn't hate him and I could never forget him. He would always be remembered and loved by me. The warm, bright, wonderful sun....

 

And although it's dark December… forever

I'll remember sun…
