Giving Up Meat For Lent
Day 41 – The End~

Looking at the bacon sandwich with so much confusion glowing in his chestnut brown eyes, the world champion felt his stomach church at the idea of placing that meat product in to his mouth. "Oh man, it smells so good Rei. But I don't think I can do it." Tyson muttered with a heavy sigh leaving his lips. He was suddenly disappointed in himself.

And Rei couldn't help but sympathsize. "You do know lent finished yesterday right?" The Drigger wielder explained in a wise tone, attempting to comfort the Granger.

"I know. But, I couldn't help overheard you and Kai talking last night, about how he's not going to touch meat again. I feel like we walked into this together, so we need to end it together." Stubbornly Tyson then pushed the sandwich away from him and he edged the plate over to Max, whom was sitting opposite him at the kitchen table. "Here, you have been eating my meals for the past 40 days anyways."

Rei sniggered at Tyson's honest and Max's face went pale. "Oh come on Tyson, I just hate to see you waste food, especially as for the past three years you would always eat the rest of my belly busting meals." The best friend explained as he pushed the plate back over to the champion. "Now eat some of you sandwich, Kai knows that lent is over..." His encouragement speech was then cut short when the lone-wolf stepped into the kitchen.

"Morning Kai. Your coffee is near the kettle." Rei greeted in a calm tone. "I also made you an egg sandwich for breakfast."

Not saying a word, the over tired Hiwatari just nodded as he picked up his breakfast and joined the other teammates at the table. But when he got comfortable, Kai took a sip of his coffee and paused for a brief moment. He simply couldn't ignore the awkward tension in the atmosphere right now and Max was pretty much just staring at him.

"What?" The Russian bluenette snarled.

"Kai, tell Tyson he can eat meat again without you holding a grudge."

Kenny then started to cough as his tea went down the wrong hole. "Max, it's not Kai's fault that Tyson still won't eat meat." He uttered in between each breath. "If Tyson doesnt' want to eat meat, then leave him to it..." Max overpowered him, he was doing his best friend duty.

"Tyson asked for a bacon sandwich this morning because he loved the smell of it and he was excited to eat it. But when the plate was served to him, he said he couldn't eat it because he feels bad about not being a vegetarian with you..."

"Max, Kenny has a point." Rei joined them at the table and he handed Kenny a serviette to wipe up the tea he'd coughed everywhere. "If Tyson doesn't want any meat, then leave him."

Raising an eyebrow at the contaminated egg sandwich before him, Kai pushed the plate over to Tyson and drunk his coffee again. "There, you can have egg and bacon now." He stated sarcastically, making Hilary laugh.

"See, Kai just said you can eat meat and he won't take it personally..."

"Max he didn't say that." Hilary regained her self control and she smiled at him, "But trust me, Tyson will eat his meat again when he's ready. He's not one to say no to a meal."

"So you're saying Kai still will take it personally?" Max tilted his head, "I just don't like Tyson looking so down."

"Oh, get a grip." Kai slammed his mug down onto the table impatiently, "I did not wake up to be bombarded with this immature shit. Lent is now over, so that's the end of this discussion."

A slight smirk then snuck up into the corner of the Granger's lips as he thought about a proposition for his rival. "Kai, to put everyone out of their misery. Will you eat half of the bacon sandwich with me?" Tyson picked up the plate and held it out to the captain – encouraging him to take half.

All eyes then flooded to Kai and he twitched uncomfortably. He didn't see the point of this exercise, but he reached out his free hand to take half of the sandwich. "Fine, but after this, don't expect me to eat it again." Kai snarled, giving in to those puppy eyes that his rival were firing at him from the otherside of the table.

"Done." The Dragoon wielder then took the other half of the sandwich and he placed it to his mouth, "You go first."

"Pft."

Hanging his head down low with disgust, Kai just closed his eyes and took a bite of the warm breakfast. Tyson soon mirrored his captain's actions and he shoved the sandwich into his trap anxiously.

And with every chew the jaw performed, it released the chewy meaty goodness that the two had been avoiding. Tyson's pupils widened and Kai's muscles tensed – they both were enjoying it, but Kai couldn't ignore the fact that he was eating a slaughtered animal.

"Oh man, I have missed this." Tyson announced, demonstrating that he was embracing this ritual of eating meat again, "Rei, get that frying pan on, I need another one. Ooooh this is just…. what's that word you use Max?"

"Orgasmic?" The blond American then cheered with joy and he jumped up from his seat. "I will cook you another sandwich dude. Oh, I'm so glad you're back!"

"I think you better make Kai some more sandwiches too because he's almost licking his plate." Hilary stated, pointing to the Hiwatari who was licking his fingers clean. "I knew you both would last long as vegetarians. But nice try guys, I admire you both."

However, there are bigger projects on the way, seriously, guys, you cannot miss all this stuff that's happening. I seriously cannot wait to show you what I am working on with people from all across the beyblade community (on fanfiction and tumblr). More details will out soon, but ideally, people from all across the beyblade fandom will be contributing a chapter to this GIANT story that fate will decide for us. If you wanna get involved, comment, message or stalk me on tumblr :). Loads of people are already onbaord, so you'd be a fool to miss out guys. Speak soon and thank you for your time~ Ann.
