BAKUGAN BRAWL!

Part 30

irl.

Considering all the chaos over text earlier and how the pair had acted towards eachother and their actions... It'd almost make sense to assume that the pair sitting on a bench in Pinpoint park were doing fine and that the air between them was nothing but chill and laughter.

However that's not exactly true..

During the debates and insult wars it was fine. However... Both of the boys felt slightly awkward. Their feelings for eachother. They'd gotten to the point where they felt bad for not telling the other how they feel everytime they're alone together.

Honestly this was part of the reason Ajit had invited Magnus to hang out today. They hadn't seen eachother in person for a few days and he wanted to get his feelings off his chest before the sleepover tomorrow.

Unfortunately he'd forgotten to account for how scared he was of confessing...

He didn't want to ruin this friendship they have between them, Ajit has found for a while now Magnus is the only one he can talk to about his past who is actually able to understand.

They've both been sitting on this bench for a while now... It's been quiet for a while now too, Magnus is texting his sister while muttering things quietly under his breath such as, "Your book is under your bed Emily just where you put it before falling asleep last night.." While Ajit stares down at his hands holding his phone in his lap and reminisces...

Back then when he'd first met Magnus, he never would've assumed they'd ever be close..? Back then Ajit was an apprentice phantom thief trying to complete the mark of Phantom thief Storm as a gift for the one who had raised him, and Magnus was a vigilante attempting to put a stop to all Bakugan related crimes...

That night when they'd met, Magnus had mistaken who Ajit was, he never found out Ajit's name until later, probably when he was on TV at the first Bakugan Battle League, Magnus had battled Ajit and although he lost the battle thanks to Pharol's invisibility ability he successfully managed to stop him from stealing the lightbulb and had discovered that Ajit had a golden Bakugan.

Both had returned the next day. Ajit succeeding in stealing the light this time Then Magnus tried to battle Ajit again, this time he managed to find a strategy around the invisibility and the two had a battle which reminded Ajit of his first ever battle against Dan Kouzo. It got his heart racing with excitement as he tried to figure out what to do in order to win and defeat this guy. Then it was interrupted by the security force. Magnus had told him to escape then, telling him they'll continue their battle another time when they won't get interrupted.

The memories of that battle alongside all the others he'd taken part in were the reason Ajit had realised he prefers to be a Brawler than to be a thief.

It was ages until the next time the two met. That time was only a short one... Magnus had showed up with Dan on the boat where they'd gotten taken to after losing in the Battle League. Apparently he'd helped Dan to find Drago although he claimed not to be their friend and just to be the enemy of Haavik's side allying with them to defeat the bad guys. Ajit had thought it was funny how Magnus and Dan argued and taunted eachother back then and how Magnus claimed not to be Dan's friend when Dan was so quick to say they were friends. Magnus had taken over his battle against Storm so Ajit and Dan could save the brawlers and Bakugan from the places they were being kept in.

He never saw Magnus again in that meeting, though according to what he's heard, Magnus fell in the ocean somehow and ended up being in just the right place to save Dan from drowning when he fell in too. Then he'd spent the remainder of that time gathering up all the Bakugan from the bottom of the ocean floor.
