Hello! I'm back with another PoT fic! It's a rest from my RyomaXSakuno fics. This one's a collection of random funny one shots, regarding almost anyone in the series. Please do enjoy!

The Earring Syndrome

"Nee, buchou?"

The simple inquiry startled the whole Jyousei Shounan Tennis Team. They were all taking a water break from the tiring tennis practice they had this afternoon. They were sitting on the benches beside the school's tennis courts.

"What is it, Youhei?". Upon replying, Kajimoto Takahisa knew he was about to answer a silly question. It came from Youhei after all.

"I've been wondering for a long time now…" Everyone stared at him. He sounded quite serious. "…Why are you wearing an earring?"

The question was so stupid that Kajimoto choked while sipping water from his water bottle. Wakato just snorted and he stared amusedly at his befuddled friend. Kouhei looked at his twin. He looked like he wanted to smack him. Daichi and Kakeru laughed while Reiji remained stoic.

Kajimoto took a moment to compose himself. He stared at the innocent looking Youhei. He surveyed his eyes, thinking of what punishment he'll give Youhei which will give him ultimate gratification from the verbal mortification he experienced from him.

"So, why are you wearing one, buchou?" Youhei repeated. Everyone else noticed Kajimoto's brow twitching.

"Because…" Kajimoto started. Everyone looked at him seriously, all except for Wakato, who was trying hard to stop himself from laughing. Wakato was now the embodiment of mirth.

Kajimoto didn't have an answer. Heck, he didn't expect anyone to ask him something that stupid. Wearing an earring doesn't have to have a reason, right?

"Because…" Everyone was now excited to hear the answer from their captain. "Because…it stops me from scratching my ear…"

Rather than admitting he wore it for style, he made up an excuse instead. And by God, it was the stupidest one he has made.

Wakato burst out laughing. He couldn't handle it anymore. He started to tap the bench violently while laughing, tears of mirth coming out of the sides of his eyes. He knew Kajimoto wore it for style, and his pathetic excuse really made his day.

"He's as smart as Einstein, but his skill in making up stories really is pathetic!" Wakato thought.

The rest of the team was still confused, and they were staring at the laughing Wakato. Reiji's attention was also caught by his brash chortling. Wakato then decided to help his close friend by supporting his excuse.

"That's true, everyone!" Wakato said while wiping his tears of mirth. Kajimoto shot him a confused look but he still continued. "You see, our dear old buchou has a grave, pitiful problem: whenever he scratches his ear, it gets all spotty and red! It really is disgusting! So the solution he managed to come up with is to put an earring!" His own explanation made him laugh again and so Wakato started to laugh like a drug addict. Tears of mirth were once again making their presences known.

Kajimoto slightly blushed. He shot an eerie glare at Wakato.

He'll pay dearly for this, oh yes he will…

"That…makes sense…" Daichi said, still absolutely amazed.

"The buchou really is great" Kakeru concluded. This made Wakato laugh hysterically.

"I see! Now, I can safely say you're straight, buchou! That earring gave me doubts, I must admit, although I did a good job hiding it!" Youhei concluded with a grin.

Everyone stared at him. Wakato stopped laughing. Kouhei looked like he could butcher his own twin.

"…You better run for your life, Tanaka…" Reiji silently said.

"Tanaka, Wakato…" came Kajimoto's cold and foreboding tone.

"H-Hai?" Wakato asked like an obedient puppy about to be sent to a trial in court.

"Run. 50 laps. Now."

"F-Fifty laps!? Are you serious!?" Wakato asked, completely shocked.

"Yes. I'm serious. Go…or I'll make you scratch my spotty, red allergies real hard. GO"

And if any Jyousei Shounan student happens to be passing by the Tennis courts, they'll be seeing an absolutely scared Youhei Tanaka and an aggravated Wakato Hiroshi running around the courts.

All thanks to Kajimoto's earring.
