FASH: Another of kirskipkat's challenges, because apparently I won't rest until I've done like, half the prompts she's posted. And chapter 312, page eleven, that is totally true love right there! Romeo and Juliet style. Thus this pairing needs love!

Sena nervously fiddled with the the charm on his cell phone as he waited for their plane to be ready for boarding. He'd sent Panther a text several treacherously long minutes ago and still hadn't received a reply. In just a couple minutes he'd have to board the plane and shut off his phone, too.
Suzuna seemed to notice his anxiety, because she kept flittering around him, sneaking peaks over his shoulder to try and catch a glimpse of his phone.
Still, the minutes ticked by and still no response came, prompting Sena to worriedly bite his lip.
Then a thought struck him.
"Hiruma-san, what time is it in New York right now?"
"It's four o' clock in the afternoon here fucking shrimp, don't you know your time zones after all this time?" Hiruma asked, giving Sena a look.
Sena stared back, unmoving, and Hiruma sighed.
"It's two in the morning over there, that's why your fucking boyfriend isn't answering your texts."
"Oh." Sena flipped his phone shut and put it in his pocket to keep himself from fiddling with it.
He couldn't wait to see Panther again. It would be nice to talk to him face to face, without having to worry about time differences and the interruption of sleeping patterns. He'd even been working on improving his English, although admittedly he still wasn't very good. But he was nothing if not relentless, sooner or later he'd be able to know enough English to have a conversation without needing to flip though a Japanese to English dictionary.
Over the speakers someone announced that their plane was ready for boarding and Sena stood up, ready to get going.
Then his phone began to vibrate.
He paused and dug into pocket to retrieve it, heart skipping a beat when he saw Panther had responded to his text.
Can't wait to see you again, call me once your plane lands. Maybe we can get together before the tournament drawing? Daisuki da yo, Sena.
Sena couldn't stop the large, more than likely idiotic looking grin from forming on his face as he read the text.
"Oi! Hurry the hell up fucking shrimp!" Hiruma barked and Sena quickly started walking through the hall towards the entrance of the plane, fingers moving a mile a minute.
Sure, we can make plans once I'm over there. Love you lots, Patrick.
Sena turned off his phone and flipped it shut, ignoring the questioning looks being sent his way.
Sure, facing off against the world was going to be great and all, but he was happier at the chance to see his boyfriend again after so long.
Not that he'd let any of his team mates know that.
