Chris x Reader -Confession

  ~Plays after Chris's friends left him and before Chris meets Gingka & Co in Metal Fury~

"Go! Finish him off!", you shouted at your bey which launched itself right at his opponent.

"That won't stop us." Chris smirked and the two beys crashed at each other, leaving a huge puff of dust. As your bey spun around the stadium, his Orion took a defensive stance at the centre. Your beys clashed together until you were almost reaching your limit. You only had one more trick up your sleeve.

"Like I said, I won't go easy on you. Special move: Barnard's Loop!"

"Not so fast! I won't lose this easily!", you retorted and activated your special move as well. The two powerful beys smashed into each other, colliding in a massive explosion. Once your view cleared, you saw that Chris had won.

"Dammit!", you yelled in frustration. Chris laughed.

"But I have to admit you and your Phantom Orion are almost unbeatable." Walking down to retrieve your precious bey, you felt Chris's eyes on you. Standing up, you looked into his purple eyes. You saw a glimpse of sadness and uncertainty in them, but only for a second. You knew immediately what was wrong.

"Chris listen, I won't leave you like Bobby or your other friends! Even though I might lose against you, it's still fun battling you. They simply didn't deserve your friendship." His head sharply turned away from you, breaking the eye contact. You hoped he wasn't angry now.

"I have two more hours before I have to go to my next job...", he muttered, stubborn ignoring what you said before. A relieved sigh escaped your lips. Since it was very hot outside, the two of you decided to get some ice cream.

Soon after, both of you were sitting on a bench just watching people that pass by and licking your ice cream. It was far down the afternoon and a light breeze swept over the top of the trees to make them sway.

"About earlier...", Chris started and you turned to him by the sound of his voice. "You know I'm a blader for hire who wins battles for the payment. That's the only reason why I still battle. This and to gather strength. Since the events in the past happened, I don't care about fun any more." He lowered his gaze while he spoke. "...but whenever I battle with you, it's different. I try to fight the feeling of passion, but it overpowers me during our battles." Your eyes widened in surprise at what the blonde had said. Chris wasn't the emotional kind of guy and confessing this clearly made him feel uneasy. Since you first met him, Chris never opened up to someone like this.

"I really appreciate that." You gave him an encouraging smile, trying not to blush. It went silent as the two of you finished your ice cream. To ease up the atmosphere, you asked smugly: "You battled against so many awesome bladers and you have fun battling me? You sure must be crazy." A small smile curled onto his lips and he looked down at you. Chris then noticed some drops of your ice cream on your face, near the corner of your lips. Smirking, he bended down and leaned closer to your face. You blinked a couple of times in confusion as Chris licked the corner of your lips.

"W-what are you doing?" Your cheeks were a bride pink now and you looked anywhere except at the blonde haired male.

"Just helping you with your ice cream." He chuckled amused at your expression.
