So...yeah. New story! Yay!

The normally lively Seidou team was quiet as they stood in the slight drizzle of the early morning. The sun had yet to rise and most of the players were asleep on their feet as they waited for the bus to pull up. Normally, at least a few would be awake by now, but they had all been up for almost forty-eight hours by now and were in some desperate need of sleep.

Coach Kataoka had gathered all his regulars for a weeks' training camp that was to be held out in the country where an old friend of his was teaching. It would take them about six hours by bus to reach their destination, and many were planning on using that time to catch up on their sleep.

The only ones who didn't seem affected by the lack of sleep were Ryousuke, Tetsu, Miyuki and Chris who had been forced to stay up with them. Tetsu was standing tall as usual and Miyuki was having fun messing with the sleepy first year pitchers while Chris sighed at his teammates actions. Ryousuke had one arm around his brother, keeping him standing while Haruichi was almost fully leaning against his brothers' side.

When the bus did arrive, the Seidou players shuffled on before collapsing into one of the seats and heading off to dream land.

Chris sat in the front by the window, Eijun next to him and using his shoulder as a pillow. Across from them was Tetsu and Jun, the center fielder sleeping against the window while Tetsu read. Behind them Masuko was leaning against the window while Kuramochi was leaning back against him. Across from them Miyuki was putting in his headphones to listen to his music while Furuya was asleep against the window.

Ryousuke smiled at all their positions and gently guided Haruichi to the very back. He took the seat closest to the window and let Haruichi use his lap for a pillow, covering his brother with his jacket before taking out a book and settling in for the long ride.

It was around eleven in the morning when the bus finally pulled up to the small inn they would call home for the next week. Most of the regulars were awake by then, save for the three first years.

Miyuki shook Furuya's shoulder. "We're here," He said, attempting to wake the pitcher, "Get up or I'll leave you here." When it didn't seem to work, Miyuki grinned and leaned down close. He put his mouth near the first years' ear and softly blew. He stood up and laughed when Furuya jerked awake, one hand on his ear and a slight tint to his cheeks.

Chris already knew that being gentle wouldn't work with Eijun, so he simply pushed the male out of the seat, causing him to land with a loud crash and a few choice words. He ignored the heated glare send his way and collected his things before exiting the bus.

Ryousuke didn't even bother waking his brother. He simply gathered his things and Haruichi's before picking the slumbering teen up and getting off.

"No fair!" Eijun whined when he saw that Haruichi was still asleep. "How come Harucchi gets to keep sleeping!"

"He's too cute to wake up," Ryousuke told him, smiling down at his sleeping brother. Eijun pouted but before he could say anything the coach called for their attention.

"Lunch will be in an hour!" He called, "We'll begin practice tomorrow at six! The rest of the day is yours!" He dismissed the players and went to talk to the owner about the sleeping arrangements.

The regulars made their way inside the inn and to the large rom that they would all be sharing. Ryousuke put Haruichi down in a corner of the room, propping him up against the wall and laying his jacket back over his brother before he started putting their things away.

It didn't take long for everything to be put away and an argument about sleeping arrangements to occur. Eijun wanted to sleep next to Chris, who was going to be on one end, but didn't want to be by Miyuki, afraid of what the second year catcher might pull while he was asleep.

"Then you can sleep next to Furuya," Miyuki said with a grin, causing Eijun to nearly scream in frustration.

"That's even worse!" He yelled. "Who would want to sleep next to someone like him!" He pointed over at Furuya who looked away, not wanting to sleep next to Eijun either.

Kuramochi put Eijun in a headlock and said, "Then I'll sleep next to you." The grin on his faced caused Eijun to push him away and shake his head rapidly.

"I'd rather sleep next to Harucchi!" Eijun yelled, not wanting to be around any of his seniors when he was sleeping save for Chris who he knew wouldn't do anything. He flinched though, when he felt the combined glares of Ryousuke and Furuya boring into his head.

"There are only ten futons." Tetsu's statement caused everyone to freeze for a few moments before all hell broke loose.

Miyuki grabbed Eijun in a headlock and said, "Looks like we're sharing."

"No way am I sharing with you!" Eijun yelled, trying to struggle out of the catchers' grasp. "I'm sharing with Chris-senpai!"

Chris cleared his throat and said, "I'm sleeping in a different room." Eijun looked like someone had just told him he couldn't play baseball anymore and Miyuki laughed.

"You're stuck with me," Miyuki said with a grin, causing Eijun to shiver.

"I'm going to share with Harucchi!" He pushed Miyuki off and ran over to his still sleeping friend. "Harucchi!" Just as he was about to hug his friend, Haruichi's elbow slammed into Eijun's stomach, causing the pitcher to drop to his knees and fall to the ground, holding his stomach.

Everyone stared for a few moments before Miyuki doubled over laughing. That started all the others off and soon they were all laughing at Eijun's misfortune. Even Furuya was smiling at the scene.

"H-Harucchi," Eijun whimpered, tears coming out of his eyes. He looked up at his friend, only to find the pink haired first year still sleeping. Ryousuke chuckled as he put a hand on his brothers' head.

"That's why I didn't wake him up," He said. He bent down and picked Haruichi up. "Come on," He told the others who were having trouble breathing from laughing so hard, "It's time for lunch."
