This whole show has friendship plastered all over it and I’m being asked which one is my favourite?! I love the friendship between all of the Bladebreakers all for different reasons and it’s difficult to narrow it down to one. I’ll write about what I think is the sweetest friendship though IMO.
Kai and Max! Nobody is immune to Max’s charm and general adorableness, not even Kai. I guess the initial appeal of their friendship is how the cool, arrogant and grouchy team mate has a huge soft spot for the younger, cheerful and optimistic team mate.Throughout Season One and Two Kai constantly spurs Max on to win his matches, even against the odds and is very supportive towards Max even if it isn’t always outwardly demonstrated. In turn, Max is loyal to all of his team mates including Kai. He allows Kai to battle against the Majestics as he knew how much he wanted to avenge his loss to Johnny and also vowed to win back Dranzer for Kai in V-Force. Their match together in G-revolution may not have featured ripped clothing, alternate dimensions, passing out or total destruction of roofs/bridges but it was one of my favourites because of their friendship and respect for one another. (I might make another post about their beybattle!) There are so many friendship moments between these two in all 3 seasons, I’ll just list some here:
Kai let Max take on Michael as he knew how much it meant to him
Kai saved Max from a moving glass panel/screen
Max let Kai blade for the team battle with the Majestics
Kai supported Max in his match versus Jim and cyber Draciel in V-Force even though the rest of the team were telling Max to back down and stop the battle.
Kai gave Max a pep talk after he had lost Draciel to the Psykicks.
Kai volunteered to blade for Max in the tournament in New York after Alan had stolen the rock. (this was really sweet and unexpected I thought as he kinda popped the question about Max blading and volunteered out of nowhere)
Kai is the one Max asks for advice from before his match with Queen.
In G-rev Kai defends Max by shutting the crowd up when they booed him. (SILEEEEEENCE!)
Kai completely annihilates Rick in their match and doesn’t waste his breath with talking to him during the battle cause he knows how much of a dick he was to Max. (or maybe this was because Rick was an obnoxious douche to everyone in general at the time but I like to think that it was because of Max, he had gripped his arm pretty tightly after the match and insulted him. Oh hell no.)
Plus more! But anyways, I enjoy Kai and Max’s friendship greatly.
Currently taking tangents from NaNo writing to finish up some older things. This is a bit of fluff I’ve have mostly done for quite a while and I’m very happy to finally have it put together!
Max shows up one day claiming to be Kai’s guardian angel. Kai/Max 2200 words (On AO3)
Kai birthday fic! Because @wolbcrg posted Kai birthday things and I wanted to write fic and writing stuff the day of is always a good idea, right? (Giftfic to you! If you want it)
Magic school AU with bitbeasts as familiars, such fluff Kai/Max 1500 words (On AO3)
I had so much fun writing this. Maybe too much fun since it kept trying to get out of control. Set at points across S1 and a bit after. So here’s to fluff, smiles, and several affectionate hand kisses!
Thank you for giving me an excuse to write KaiMax! ^_^V I hope the result is to your liking. Of the three I ended up using Caring for each other while ill and Forehead or cheek kisses.
Not at any particular spot in the timeline. I just have a weakness for Kai trying to be grumpy and being won over.
