Tell me you love me.

Part 1 – Tell me you love me and show it!

I've never met someone who is so defensive about the thought of people touching him.

No matter how I try to resist the urge to keep my hands off him, there is always the odd moment where I just have to kiss him or hold his hand, just to relieve some frustration inside me. I was so proud to have him as my partner, I mean look at him! He's so perfect in every way despite that he has so many insecurities.

"Come on Kai, I haven't had a kiss from you all day." I leant forward towards him and pouted my lips at him playfully.

But he just shifted his face from away from me and rose up onto his feet. He brushed off the field grass among his figure and shrugged coldly. "I need to stop at Kenny's on the way back to the dojo Tyson." Kai spoke in a weak tone.

Did I upset him again? Urgh I can't take this anymore.

"Kai, do you not love me?" I rose to my feet too with my heart on my sleeve. "You never tell me that you love me and it hurts you know."

Suddenly the tension in the atmosphere went sour and my mouth went dry. He shot me a un-emotional glance and walked onwards down the hill. Why didn't he want to talk to me about it?

I then rushed forward and stopped in his path to get his full attention. "Kai, you're not going anywhere until you start talking to me. I am trying to help you, not fight you." Slowly tears began to blur my view and I was trying my best to control my emotions.

But I'm only human, so I guess I shouldn't be ashamed of showing how I feel. And neither should you Kai!

"Tyson, you will never understand how I feel." He paused and took a deep inhale. "So stop trying too."

I guess my water works are hitting a nerve – I could see that his feisty crimson eyes were softening and his body looked a little tense.

"I only asked you to tell me that you loved me. And I asked for a kiss Kai." I threw back at him with my heart pounding in my toned chest. "Normal couples give each other a kiss and show each other some affection..."

"Well I'm not normal then am I Tyson?! If you're that unhappy with the way I am then I don't blame you for leaving me."

And we are back to the defensive again~

"Kai Hiwatari, I would never leave you." I promised and reached out to hold his hand, except he snatched it from me. "I love the bones of you and worship the ground you walk on."

It suddenly went quiet between us and I deliberately kept the awkwardness there until Kai caved in. I knew he could do it, but he just chose to listen to that little poisonous voice in the back of his mind.

Does it make him feel weak or physically sick to show some emotion? Oh man, this guy is broken and it's hurting me just to witness this.

"I think a lot of you too Tyson." He finally muttered and lowered his head towards the ground.

I guess that's the most I'm going to get out of him isn't it?

It was beautiful to watch the wind brush through his silky smooth blue hair. You could tell by the expression on his face that he was torn and confused.

"I just am not used to this." He then growled and rubbed his cheeks with his warm palms.

Slightly he smudged his face paint, but I don't think he gave a toss about that too be honest – a little smudge was the least of his concerns right now.

"Baby steps huh Kai?" I cracked a weak smile and wiped the tear that leaked from my right eye.

He nodded a yes in response but kept quiet.

"You know? I know that you will never tell me what's going on in your mind, but I will always be willing to learn what makes you comfortable and what doesn't to make you happy." I concluded and nodded with him. "Come on; let's go to Kenny's then."
