Kai Hiwatari - Pursue or Push Away?

Requested by @jiamcgregor7 ! Tysm for being my first request!

It’s more plot building than words and it’s my first real fic in a few years but I hope you all enjoy! Constructive criticism is welcome! Especially with formatting and dialogue. If anything like "like, and, so" or scene building is off let me know too please!

When Kai suspected you had feelings for him, he was conflicted - he didn't know what to do!

At first he figured being the only girl surrounded by a bunch of guys made you feel weird, but then wouldn’t you have clung on to the Chief more? He was your brother after all.

You would check on Kai more than the rest of the team and talked to him even if he seemed like he wasn’t paying attention, but still you never pushed his boundaries. He would catch you glancing at him from time to time and if Tyson was annoying him you would try to get him off his case; resulting in Tyson accusing you of having feelings for the loner boy, but you would always deny it and clap back with something about Tyson just wanting to provoke him and some teamwork nonsense. But what if you were just that nice? Or what if you just felt bad and were taking pity on him?

But it didn't matter. Even if he knew for a fact you liked him, dating just wasn't his thing. He'd choose being the best over a relationship any day.

And yet when he was starting to think about you more he just talked to you less and avoided you as best he could. He needed to get stronger, not wonder if you would still be awake by the time he was done training to tell him goodnight; Your good mornings and anything else you would usually say to him was no longer met with a nod or hum in acknowledgement.

He could sense your shift in mood afterwards even if you tried not to show it. Still, he was the only one besides your brother to notice. But it's not like Kenny knew the reason or that he was the type to pry into his sister's business, so why was Kai so worried?

Well, he didn't like anyone around him, but he realized he liked you. A lot. You're so sweet and forgiving, letting him keep his distance but not wanting to let him feel ignored by the rest of the group. It only made him afraid of hurting you though; both in his journey to being the strongest blader in the world and by just being who he is; so he wanted to make sure you hated him so whatever he did wouldn't hurt you.

And so in the days leading up to the world championships he began to openly brush you off and was more rude towards everyone including you. At first you tried to reason with him, but a cold “You’re in my way y/n, can’t you stop trying to hold me back already?” had put a stop to any more pushing.

“I.. I’m so sorry” was all you managed to get out. He hated the look on your face just then, Kai was able to see how much it hurt with the way your hands moved to clench your chest and your eyes started to water — all he could do was hope you would grow more angry with him in time. “Um, I’ll go now..” were your last words to him that night.

And he had finally abandoned you along with the rest of the Bladebreakers after accepting the power of Black Dranzer. He didn't care nearly as much about what the others felt as much as he cared about how you did. He found himself distracted thinking about how you felt about any of it, but he's been chasing this power for so long so why stop now?

But then you and the rest of the team still went after him, battling him in the biting cold of Russia to try and make him come back. And after he was defeated all he could do was let his thoughts take over, his mind racing. Why was Black Dranzer so useless that it failed? No, it had to be him that failed? Useless! How could he fail? Does that make him a loser like everyone else he battled? He can't be so useless can he?

He didn't even realize he was rambling out loud until he heard your voice trying to tell him otherwise and to jump off the ice he was standing on. He didn't hear anyone else or realize the ice he was standing on had cracked and he was sinking, but when he did, he wondered for just a second if he should succumb to the freezing water.

“But, I can’t change!”

"Yes you can! Please Kai!"

He couldn't believe his former teammates, especially you, were begging for him to jump to safety or to rejoin the team.

“Kai! Please!” Tears were streaming down your face now, cold wind stinging your eyes so much you could barely see. “You can change! We don’t care we can talk it out just please take Tyson’s hand!” Your wailing and panic forcing you to drop to your knees, shaking more from stress and fear than the icy wind. “I’m not mad at you Kai please! You’re not the bad person you think you are!"

Even after he had been mean to you and betrayed your trust and very likely broke your heart you still cried over him?

Once he came to his senses and he grabbed on to Tyson’s hand, everyone managed to pull him out of the ice. He was finally saved and you ended up running to cling on to him, wrapping your arms around his neck, a weird hug but one he reciprocated with just as much desperation. Neither of you cared that you were being watched since your friends too focused on Kai's next moves and him joining the Bladebreakers again.

But after the incident.. neither of you really mentioned it...

Maybe it was just because a lot was going on, after all the world championships were coming up and Kai ended up going to a boarding school after he became the world champion so you two didn't get the chance to get closer.

He thought about sending you a letter or something once he settled in to his dorm but what would he even say? He'd get the chance to see you again soon though as he would come back to the team after being repeatedly targeted by a mysterious blader at his boarding school. He was quiet as ever, but he made it a point to get closer to you.

At least, he was trying.

Poor boy didn't know how to get close to someone, much less the girl he liked and was pretty sure he didn't have a chance with anymore.

His first attempt was right after the battle between Tyson and some strangely powerful kid. You two were left walking behind everyone else a little way's away. He insisted on being around you more — to protect you from any danger since you didn't have a bey and it "would be kind of a loss to lose a talented bey mechanic", he said.

“Haha! Aww thanks Kai!” “..Don’t mention it.” He really didn't want to give you the bare minimum responses anymore. Especially since you seemed to still like him, but he still didn't know what was too much or too little to say. “Tomorrow, meet me at the beach.” He was struggling to find an excuse.

"Hey Kai!" Tyson and the others had stopped as he was calling him over now and motioning to Hilary. “Bet you’re wondering who the new girl is!” You both kept up the pace, as you assumed you were going to catch up with them.

“Dranzer needs some new upgrades.” He said flatly before continuing his stride, walking past Hilary and the rest of the group. You had barely registered his words before responding.

“Huh? Oh, ok!”

He spent the entirety of that night trying to find ways to show he valued how knowledgeable you were, especially strategically. He wanted you to know that!

He decided that you would be the first person he would go to get an upgrade for Dranzer. He remembered how you used say every now and then about how you were always the second choice for bey mechanic even though you were just as good as the Chief. Even if you said it lightheartedly he knew how much it sucked to feel like you were second best, and you really were very good!

He secretly knew too that you always had ideas and noticed that you were too shy to bring it up to him directly so you would run it by your brother first, he was very observant. Both you and Kenny played the part of mechanic and technician but the team usually went to Kenny first since he was the faster worker.

This worried him though; he knew he wasn't doing enough to show his feelings towards you, and waiting on you to make a move was childish of him.

Which led you to now; you guys had finished your battle with Ozuma and the other mysterious bladers that targeted the Bladebreakers; Kai and Tyson were in the middle of training.

"Come on y/n! You finally finished your upgrades on Dranzer, how come you won't make a new version of Draciel next?" “I just finished Dranzer and I need to make sure everything is working the way it should Max!" Was all you could say in your defense. Max was never so pushy, but everyone was on edge at the moment.

"You're just saying that coz you like Kai better than us y/n." Ray jokingly replied.

"Huh?!" Heat immediately rose to your cheeks as you tried to find something to defend yourself. "C-Come on Ray! Dranzer took a heavy hit in its last battle and I want to make sure it's good to go in case of another emergency!"

Kai wondered if that was true though. You were honestly only ever working on Dranzer these days.

So the next day he decided he would try to tell you straight up how he felt. While the rest of the team was training back at the dojo, you were left to find any more information regarding the Psykick team and figure out anything that could be used to counter their plans. Kai was with you, training a bit away from you.

This was a regular occurrence; just you and Kai hanging out together away from the rest of the team. "It's not worth being around them right now anyway" was what he told you as he motioned for you to follow him. "How can anyone get anything done with the way they argue constantly?" Once you two got to the park however, he decided to do his training first to calm his nerves while you went straight to work, and you both ended up absorbed in your own worlds. So many things were on his mind, but he thought more about what his confession to you would be.

He decided to take a break from training and went to go sit next to you in the grass, your non-stop typing only halted for a second to see who was walking towards you. He guessed he only had a limited amount of time before he lost your attention.

He figured trying to start conversation would help. "What are you working on?" He asked while moving to lay down.

"Right now figuring out the weaknesses of the cyber bit-beasts," you leaned back a bit to analyze the information in front of you better. "If there's anything we can take advantage of I want to try to.." you continued with your rambling all while he paid attention to your expression. You were focused on reading and explaining the data, brows slightly furrowed and glossed lips moving a mile a minute. He almost lost focus while wondering how they would feel against his, hoping he wouldn't mess up if you two kissed. It's not like he's had his first kiss, he wants it to be you and hopes he'd be your first, too.

His finally went back to paying attention to what you were saying when he saw a sad smile grow. "..and Kenny thinks it's pointless and that it's better if I help him to compensate for any flaws on our side but I'm glad at least you appreciate me, Kai"

"Because I'm in love with you"

"Huh!?" Your laptop nearly fell off your lap as you flinched in surprise. "Like, like you mean-"

"How else could I mean it, y/n?" He sat up now, trying to keep his cool, looking you in the eyes and seeing your stunned expression grow red. Cute. "You're the only person I care about so much, and I know you care a lot about me too." You were still seemingly searching for a response, so he continued. "I really want to be your boyfriend y/n... if you'll let me." God he's never felt so vulnerable before.

"U-um" you moved your laptop aside so you could turn and face him better. "I really want to be your girlfriend too, Kai" you responded in a shy voice, your gaze falling to your hands. Fiddling with your fingers was a bad habit.

He gently grabbed your hand, trying to get you to look at him as he tried to find the least awkward way to word his question.

"Is it.. okay if I kiss you?" "Aha... I haven't had my first kiss yet.." He squeezed your hand reassuringly and smiled. "Me neither, I want you to be my first." "Thank you Kai," you smiled back. "I want you to be my first too."

You both leaned in, the awkwardness in the air was as heavy as the anticipation. As you both closer your eyes, neither of you realized you tilted your heads the same way and your noses bumped into each other, surprising you both.

You fell into a giggling fit, your nervousness making you hide your face in Kai's chest and your hand grabbing on to his shoulder for support.Kai wrapped his arms around you in response, letting his own laughter slip through - a rare thing for him.

As you calmed down, relief washed over you. Kai loved you as much as you loved him. You both looked at each other, confidence building as you leaned in again, lips finally connecting. It was clumsy and didn't last for very long, but it was perfect regardless.

“AHH!” Whistle~ "No way.."

The moment could have lasted longer though, and out of panic you and Kai separated and scrambled to stand immediately.

"Is this what you guys have been doing instead of training?!" Kenny started running now, Max and Ray behind him. "I thought you two were working! We have a serious battle coming up! We can't waste time!"

“It’s not- We were working!" Was all you could say in your defense.

"Working on eating each other's faces I bet!" Ray laughed.

Kai stepped forward, an embarrassed blush visible on his face. "Why are you here anyway?"

"Tyson quit the team!! Which you would know if you weren't busy going on a date and actually came to the team training sessions!" Chief growled out.

"This isn't a date! I could plan a much better date!" "TYSON QUIT THE TEAM!" "Then you better go find him! We were in the middle of something!" "Don't give me that! And don't date my sister!"

Your face was hidden in your hands while they kept bickering, embarrassed at the whole situation. Max and Ray walked closer to you, grins still plastered on their faces. "Aww congrats y/n, we were rooting for you guys." "Haha, thanks Max" was all you could think to reply, bashfulness still apparent. "Now you do have to admit you like Kai better than us haha" "Come on Ray-"

"Come on y/n let's go!" you barely had time to register Kai's words before he grabbed your hand and started walking away from the rest of the group.

"You better be home before I'm asleep y/n!" Chief shouted as Kai tried to walk faster. "We still need to swap data on team Psykick!"

"Where are we going Kai?" "That dessert place you like before it closes" he replied while slowing down his pace so you could keep up. "I'm taking you on a real date."

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

idk if this is stupid but I was kinda lost while writing so I focused on some episodes in specific to help me build this weird timeline, I really hope it was easy to comprehend.

The episodes I relied on are on YouTube BEYBLADEOfficial

Season 1: Episode 45 - Breaking the Ice V-Force: Episodes 5, 7, 8, 16 and 17 - Guess Who's Back, The Reunion Begins, Return of the Bladebreakers!, Team Psykick's New Recruit, and Hilary's Bey-B-Cue

I'd love to take any more requests :D

HI BEYFAM

I want to share some updates for those who are not chronically online on japanese beytwt about Beyblade Bar, since some shit went down this weekend.

On Friday around 6PM JST, a link went up showcasing the menu and goods for the collaboration cafe...and it was lackluster to say the least. The link was very quickly taken down, with some doubt casted over whether it was a mistake of the info being released too early or the images were not the finalised ideas but something early on from planning stage. I myself wasn't online at the time this happened, so I didn't see the exact info but I got to know through artists I follow that the menu was very overpriced for basic stuff like croissant was priced at 1500 yen and roll cakes at 1000 yen.

Most Japanese fans felt that compared to the Bar that took place in 2019, there was no creativity used for the menu plus the difference in price was astounding. I did not myself see the goods images uploaded but from what I have gathered, it had used the basic profile art of the characters we've seen for years (S1 design for Takao and Kai that too) which isn't anything to be happy about either because if you see the other collabs organised by andGallery on their twitter page, you can tell that they do know how to put in proper effort.

After people started posting about getting cancellations, 'cuz even if they do want that Black Dranzer X, it seems wasteful to join the collab cafe for just that prize, the link was then taken down, but I'm assuming that some Japanese fans did go ahead with cancelling their reservations.

Which is what most likely prompted this apology posted by the organiser a full day later. They've said that the info shared on the link was incorrect and based on prototype ideas. They've prepared a Beyblade experience area, an exhibition of all Beyblades from each gen, a display featuring artwork/original autographs by all manga artists from Beybalde franchises and they'll reveal all the official information by 2nd August. After this tweet, Adachi sensei (Metal Fight mangaka) also tweeted saying that he's worked hard on the new art for Beyblade Bar and he's looking forward for fans to experience it.

Adachi sensei's words at least add some weight to andGallery's claim, but fans are not happy yet. The event starts on 10th August, revealing the info just a week-10 days before of the event is inconvenient to the people who are planning trips from afar for this experience, if the quality is still not worth it, their plans would sort of go to waste. Especially when the norm is to post goods picture at least a month prior to the event start date.

Considering that this is the 25th Anniversary event for the franchise and the only collaboration cafe planned for the year so far, the handling is just extremely shoddy and honestly disappointing for many fans. andGallery also celebrated Digimon's 25th Anniversary earlier in the year but things were smooth sailing with that event. So either the fault lies with Takara Tomy/Beyblade team coordinating with andGallery or the cafe itself.

Either way, this has turned out to be a disheartening affair for most fans, and I hope andGallery + Beyblade staff pull it together to organise a collaboration worthy of the 25th Anniversary tag.

#beyblade #beyblade news #bakuten shoot beyblade #beyblade metal saga #beyblade metal fight #beyblade burst #beyblade x #i saw some users tweet that they'll just cancel their beyblade reservations and go to digimon exhibition instead 🥲#dont pit my two fav franchises against each other like that
