Chapter 01 – Hugs (Akutsu Jin x Dan Taichi)

It was quiet in the little café Akutsus mother works, only a handful customers sat at the lovely decorated tables - it was only a week left until Valentines Day.

At one of the tables in the back a small, ebony-haired boy eat happily his second piece of chocolate cake, a wide smile on his lips and the big brown eyes sparkling with delight.

Across him, Akutsu gave him a murderous glare, but the little one didn't notice – or just ignored it.

The tables around them were empty, nobody wanted to sit near the tall youth who looked like he wanted to beat up everyone coming near him.

A few guests glanced now and then to him and nobody could understand why the smaller boy looked like his dreams come true.

Then again, nobody of them knows that Dan Taichi wasn't afraid of Akutsu's murderous glare because he knew that the older boy was nice at the inside – even if he was the only person thinking so.

"Ne, Akutsu-senpai", The little one stopped eating. "Do you want to go to the street courts this weekend with me? I heard that Momoshiro-kun and Echizen-kun are playing doubles against Fudomines Kamio and Ibu."

Akutsu growled. "I told you a thousand times already: I've no interest in tennis anymore and I sure don't want to watch them play, kozou."

"Hai desu. I just thought that you would like to come because Echizen-kun is playing..." Taichi said, looking up at Akutsu. His brown eyes were a little bit bigger than usual and pleaded the older one to say "Yes".

Akutsu growled again – louder this time so that some of the other customers heard him and shot him nervous glares. "I don't want to", he barked back. "I never will so stop pleading already! It's annoying. I really don't understand why you are always talking about tennis. Isn't there anything else you interested in?"

A small blush tainted Taichis ceeks slightly red and he bowed his head deeper above his piece of cake. He hastily shook his head and took another bite from the cake to avoid answering the question.

He just couldn't tell his senpai that all that was in his mind was tennis and the tall gray-haired boy himself! He was sure that Akutsu wouldn't be happy about this...

The silence between the two boys grew and Taichi speed up eating his cake. After he swallowed the last bite Akutsu stood up. It was the signal for the smaller one that his time with his beloved senpai was near its end and he felt his heart aching. He really liked to spent time with Akutsu even if the older one was always grumpy and didn't talk much. It just felt nice to be near him.

"Oh, you're leaving already?", Akutsus mother stopped them walking past the counter, casting a wide smile at Taichi. "Hai desu! It's going to take a while 'til I'm home... and I have a lot of homework to do, so...", Taichi tried to excuse there leaving.

"Jin, walk him home please", the gentle woman said to her son, coming around the counter to hug the small boy. She liked him from the first moment she met him. It was amazing that he still spend time with her son after being treated like that!

"Eh? He doesn't need to!" Taichi glanced at his senpai out of the corner of his eyes. He saw how the taller teen narrowed his eyes and glared at his mother.

"Of course he does! It's still getting dark early and who knows what will happen to a such a cute boy like you! You never know what perverted guys are out there just waiting for someone like you! No one will harm you when Jin's with you." She hugged Taichi again before she disheveled his hair.

"Che", was all the older boy said before walking out of the café without another look back.

"Goodbye Yuki-san!" Taichi bowed towards his senpais mother before running after said teen. He wondered if Akutsu would really walk him all the way home but he wouldn't complain – after all it just means that he could spend more time with his beloved person.

He didn't know what to say what would not upset his senpai and Akutsu never being quite talkative so they stayed silent until they reached Taichis home.

Taichi looked thoughtfully at his senpai, wondering if he should asked him to come inside but just as the thought crossed his mind, Akutsu turned around, ready to leave him.

"Uhm... Akutsu-senpai...", Taichi begun, nervously rubbing the tip of his nose. Akutsus narrowed eyes didn't make it easier but then Taichi decided to just do what he wanted to do for a long time and hugged the taller boy tightly. "Arigatou desu!"

He burrowed his face in the white school uniform jacket and inhaled deeply the scent that was 'his' Akutsu-senpai.

Just as he was about to let go he felt bigger hands lightly on his back, returning the embrace.

It didn't last long, only a few seconds but Taichi felt as good as never before. As he stepped away from Akutsu his cheeks were dark red and he didn't even want to look up at his senpai because even if he had returned the hug he still felt embarrassed about making the first step.

"Che! It's okay. See you tomorrow", was all the older one said, scratching the back of his neck. Without an other word he turned around, walking away, leaving an really happy Dan Taichi behind.
