Beyblade Burst Adventures

Beyblade and Witchcraft

In which Rantaro spends the night at Shu's place due to an ugly storm, and the duo finds out they have more in common than they thought.

(Just a silly little idea I had and fell in love with. I've created my own system of magic for this story, and the term "witch" is not gender-locked, I do not mean "wizard" or "warlock", respectfully stop trying to correct me on my own story.)

"Thanks again for letting stay the night at your place, Shu," I say as we step through the door. I look around, taking in the details of his apartment, but not much stands out to me at the moment.

"It's not a problem, Rantaro." He beckons for me to follow him, so I do, and as we walk he explains, "The bathroom is this way, and there are some clean towels you can use to dry yourself off. While you do that, I'll get you a change of clothes."

"Cool." He opens the bathroom door for me, then shuts it when I go in.

"I'll be right back!"

"'Kay!" I call back. Shu's footsteps fade as he leaves, and I strip down to my undershorts- they're not soaked through, somehow, and I'd rather not be fully naked in someone else's bathroom.

I grab one of the neatly-folded towels resting on the shelf and begin drying myself off. At the same time I finish, Shu knocks on the door. "Rantaro? I've got the clothes now."

"Okay. You can just hand them to me, I'm not naked."

I think he hesitates for a moment. "Uhm, okay." The door opens a bit and Shu steps in, handing me the clothes. "Here you go."

"Thanks, man."

He smiles a little, then gestures to my clothes. "If you want, I can go ahead and put those in the washer for you."

"If you don't mind, sure."

He nods and picks them up. "Alright, I'll leave so you can get dressed."

I nod in reply and he leaves, shutting the door. I start pulling on the clothes, which are just some white PJs with gray stripes, like what Shu has on right now. The pants are a little short, but I don't mind.

When I'm dressed I put the towel in what should be the hamper, then shut off the light and leave the bathroom, finding my way back to the living room. Shu sits on the couch, so I just sit down beside him and look at the stuff he has scattered on the coffee table- which is actually my stuff. "Oh, I completely forgot about this. Good thing you pulled this out, or Roktavor would be in the spin cycle," I say, smiling as I pick up my Bey.

"Yeah, I figured you liked having your cellphone and lollipops unwashed," Shu chuckles softly, then he looks to the large pile of lollipops laying on the table besides my mangas with a frown. "I just hope I found them all. Your pockets are abyssmal. Seriously."

I should hope so, or I'll have to scrap my spell. "Pants can be like that, I guess." I shrug, smiling a moment before I remember something, flinching and snatching up my phone. "Oh, man- I completely forgot!" I turn it on, seeing that it is definitely past my curfew, and press the 'call' button on a specific number.

I place the phone against my ear, and it doesn't even ring once before it's picked up. "Hello?"

"Hey, Dad," I greet. "I know I'm late, and I'm sorry about that."

"You're not hurt, are you? The storm has gotten really bad."

"Nah, I'm fine. I'm with a friend, Shu Kurenai? You remember me tellin' you about him?"
