Fic suggestion; 2/3 years post canon where they're in their respective colleges/universities. Kai happens to be passing through & finds out that Tyson is struggling to fit in due to relentless bullying. Kai decides to confront the bully(es). Afterwards Tyson wonders what made Kai be so protective & out slips an accidental because I love you? hehehe
This sounds CUTE! And Also reminds me of when I wrote something similar in my long slow burn fic (its a bit of a long story)... but this sounds SUPER FUN. Big fan, here we gooo
“So I hear the world champion still can’t integrate into society?”
“Shut up, Kai.”
The phone connection crackled as Tyson put Kai on speakerphone.
“Where are you right now?”
“Walking in the park to get back to the dojo, how about you?”
“Studying back at my apartment, is it dark? Be careful.”
“I know how to walk, Kai. It’s not that dark, there's lots of streetlamps. So why are you phoning me?”
“I need a reason to phone my best friend?”
“You always have a reason.”
“Alright, you caught me.”
“I knew it, you know you’re not that sneaky, Kai.”
“Whatever. Ray told me you were having troubles at school—”
“I’m fine, Kai.”
“Is it studying? I can help again—”
“No it’s not that, everything’s fine, okay? Can you drop it?”
“It doesn’t sound like everything’s fine.”
He heard Tyson sigh on the other end of the line.
“Bye, Kai.”
*beep*
“Tyson? Tyson!?”
Kai threw the phone down on his open textbook.
That bastard hung up on me!?
Kai had just finished texting Ray about Tyson’s troubles at school. This time it wasn’t the studying, girl or boy problems, friend problems, family problems… The list of Tyson’s issues that Kai was forced to deal with since he started university was overwhelming. Not that he was forced to deal with them… They kept getting shuffled down until Kai was the closest person to deal with it. Tyson didn’t accept help easily, but Kai could tell when he needed it.
Kai found he was worried about Tyson constantly.
And he had every reason to be.
Kai attended a prestigious university, while Tyson decided to enroll in one closer to the dojo. Kai got used to university life fast, Tyson lagged behind. Tyson was hit with a brick wall. University wasn’t highschool, or a tournament, it wasn’t traveling the world. It was a whole other realm that really didn’t suit Tyson at all. Kai watched from afar as Tyson struggled through the everyday, he made friends easily but everything else was ten times harder.
And now, it seemed that Tyson had yet another problem he wasn’t sharing.
The tip of Kai’s mechanical pencil broke.
He decided he’d go to Tyson’s school tomorrow to check up on him.
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
Kai mimicked Tyson’s anger.
“Checking up on you.”
Kai leaned on the hood of his Mercedes, wearing casual clothes and a hand in his pocket.
“If you show up looking like that talking to me like this, people are going to think you're my boyfriend.”
Kai laughed, “what’s wrong with that?”
Tyson stuttered but didn’t manage to answer.
“What’s wrong?”
Kai’s words cut through the world, forcing it to stop moving and stay stationary for just a moment.
“Nothing is wrong.” Tyson turned on his heel, but Kai was too fast.
He grasped his arm pulling him back.
“Kai, what the hell!?”
Tyson angrily twirled backwards, trying to push him off.
“What’s wrong with your face?” Kai felt his heart rise in his chest when he saw the purple bruise on his cheek.
“Hurt it doing kendo, can you stop? Get off me!”
With force Kai pulled Tyson into him, observing his face.
“Stop looking at me!” Tyson used both his arms to push him away.
Kai had slipped off the curb he was on and fell into his car, leaving a small dent near the hood.
Tyson’s face read pure panic, “I’m sorry! I never meant to push you that hard!”
“Well you did.” Kai rubbed his forehead with his forearm, “clearly something is going on, you wanna share with the class?” A dangerous scowl grew on Kai’s face.
“I’ll tell you, but I don’t want your help okay?”
Kai nodded.
“Some guy has been picking on me—we got in a fight, but it's under control.”
Tyson sent him a broken smile and Kai felt a burning rage in his chest.
“What’s this guy’s name?” Kai wore the same scowl from before.
“You don’t need to know, because I don’t need your help.” Tyson stated matter-of-factly.
“Did you at least beat the shit out of him?”
Tyson bit his lip while looking in the opposite direction.
“Don’t you know a shit ton of martial arts? You’re telling me you didn’t kick his ass?”
Kai kept his voice from rising, but it was shaking. The rage was hard to keep under control the more he imagined someone hurting Tyson.
“There… might have been more than one guy.” Tyson trailed off.
“They ganged up on you?” Kai’s mind was now filled with a murderous rage, “why?”
“Dunno, jealous maybe? World champion, bluh bluh bluh…” Tyson yawned “well, time to get back home, huh?”
Kai locked his eye’s on Tyson’s.
“Call me if they try anything.”
“They won’t. I’m sure it was a one time thing. Plus I was stronger than they thought I’d be…”
“I don’t care.” Kai’s voice was serious. “Call me.”
Days later Tyson wasn’t returning Kai’s calls. He texted him asking why he wasn’t answering, he got simple short messages, busy or sorry can’t talk right now. It pissed Kai off. He hoped their interaction hadn’t damaged their friendship. He valued any relationship with Tyson, any excuse to be close to him really. He really hoped he hadn’t screwed this up.
Almost two weeks later Kai was at his desk studying. His regular nightly routine. His phone buzzed, a phone call.
From Tyson?
He dropped his pencil and reached for his phone so fast he became worried how obsessed he was with this boy.
He dropped the phone.
No doubt it was Tyson missing him, apologizing and begging to talk to Kai again.
Wouldn’t be the first time.
Maybe I should give it a few minutes.
He put the phone on silent. And left it by his side for less than a minute. When he looked back he had a text as well. He rolled his eyes.
1 missed call.
2 texts.
He opened the text box.
Park.
Help.
Before Kai could process what was happening he was in his car speeding down the highway.
He almost sped past the park, slamming on the breaks he just managed to make out a dark group of boys huddled away from the streetlamps by a tree. He had no time to observe, only to assume.
He accelerated, jumping the curb into the grass and tearing up dirt.
He kicked open his car door and slammed it closed.
“Where is Tyson?” He said in the boy's direction.
A member of the group broke away, advancing on Kai, he mumbled something about ‘minding your business’ before launching a fist towards Kai’s face.
He expertly dodged with an instinct he forgot he had.
He grabbed the boy’s fist in midair and landed his elbow in the boy’s forearm sending him crumbling to the ground screaming.
Two more from the group branched off towards Kai.
Kai clenched his teeth. It had been years since he actually fought, he forgot how it felt. One of the boys tried to punch him identical to how the last one tried. Kai bent his knees landing a punch to the boy's gut, knocking the air out of him. Now he could focus on the other one, who was trying to land a kick by his ear.
Kai fell on his back, feeling the air brush past his face, the boy now had the advantage, but kai was fast. Using his knees and all the momentum he had he launched himself off the ground to his feet.
“The fuc!?—”
The boy didn’t have the time to finish his sentence before Kai jabbed the edge of his palm into his throat.
Kai turned around directing his attention to the center of the group, one boy standing over a black mass.
Kai cracked his knuckles, “if that’s Tyson, you understand I will kill you?”
The boy wore a devious smirk. Kai shook his head.
The black mass on the ground managed to mumble, “Kai…”
That was Tyson’s voice.
Kai slowly blinked. His face showed only pure white anger.
“I’ll kill you.”
The boy held his ground as Kai threw his body full force towards him. He was bigger than Kai, he blocked his first hit, throwing Kai back.
This guy is a tank… I have to be careful.
I need to finish this fast. I need to help Tyson.
Kai fixed his stance, grounding himself expertely. The boy grabbed for his shirt, he used both his palms to push him away. The boy kept trying again and again, Kai finally attempted to land a punch, but this guy was strong. He pushed Kai’s fist away and grasped the collar of his shirt, then threw him to the ground.
Kai felt the ground quake under him as he lost the ability to breathe.
The boy punched him, and then again.
He felt no pain, only fear for what had happened to Tyson before this. The world around him flung side to side, then suddenly, the boy stopped.
WACK.
Above him the boy was motionless, and fell to the side near Kai limply.
Tyson took the boy’s place. He was holding a heavy stick. He dropped it on the ground.
They were both covered in blood and bruises.
“I told you I'd be just fine.” Tyson grinned.
Kai tried to laugh but still didn’t have his breath back. He managed to groan, then inhale sharply.
“Why didn’t you call somebody to come help? Is your car okay?”
“Because…” Kai managed to moan weakly.
“Cause?” Tyson asked in a hoarse voice.
“I love you.”
Kai held his side, unaware of the words he whispered to the dark.
Tyson held his hand out to his best friend.
“Come on sourpuss, let's get to a hospital.”
