You Made My Day

Marui walked inside the clubroom, hands in his pocket, blowing a bubble. Practice was over so he decided to leave early. Just then, Kirihara walked into the room and saw Marui packing his stuff, preparing to go home.

"Marui-senpai, why are you going home so early?" Kirihara asked.

"Huh? Oh… I just want to leave early. Why?"

"Senpai-tachi are planning to go to the mall after school, don't you want to come?"

"Uh… not really. I'm not in the mood to actually go anywhere today… Maybe another time."

After talking to Kirihara, he got his bag and headed home.

As he was heading home, he saw a Hyoutei student pass by. "Hmm… maybe I should drop by to see Jirou…" he thought to himself. Then he blew another bubble.

As he was walking near Hyoutei, he heard some students talking. "Hey, isn't that Bunta Marui from Rikkaidai?" he heard one say. "Yeah… A lot say he's good." He heard another one say. He sighed and just passed them.

He knew Hyoutei's grounds. Jirou always showed him around. Sometimes, Jirou would even drag him if he didn't want to follow him.

He saw the tennis courts, and somewhere there, he saw the clubroom.

He turned the knob and opened the door slightly, "Jirou… are you here?" he asked in a low voice. He went inside, because no one else was there. Then, he heard snoring. It must be Jirou.

He walked near Hyoutei's 'Sleeping Beauty', "Jirou, wake up…"

"Huh? What? Huh?" Jirou yawned, while rubbing his eyes. "Marui-kun? What are you doing here??" He asked, looking confused.

"Nothing… just dropping by…" Marui answered.

"Huh?"

"Anyway, is your practice over? Wanna go get some ice cream?" Marui asked.

"I think it's over… I slept the whole time, so I didn't notice. Anyway, ice cream? Sure!!" Jirou jumped up and down.

"Come on…"

Jirou got his bag and followed Marui.

While they were walking, Jirou popped out a question, "Marui-kun, what's wrong? You don't seem like you're usual self today."

"I just kinda feel down… I'm not actually sure why. It's kinda weird… Maybe mood swings?" Marui answered.

They reached the ice cream shop, Jirou ran to the counter to pick his ice cream flavor. "Hmm… I want… a… Super Triple Chocolate Deluxe please!!" he shouted.

He saw Marui sitting at a table, "Hmm… I'm not really sure what's wrong with him but, I'm going to turn his mood around!! I don't like seeing him like that. Poor Marui-kun…" Jirou thought to himself.

Jirou ordered a bubblegum-flavored ice cream cone for Marui.

He sat across Marui on the table, "Marui-kun, you want this?" Jirou asked, holding up the ice cream cone in front of Marui.

Marui smiled, for a bit, "Thanks, Jirou…"

Jirou licked his cone, as Marui licked his. He still tried to figure out how to make Marui happy again. It's hard because he doesn't know the problem.

They walked home together.

"Marui-kun, what's wrong? Why aren't you so cheerful like you always are?" Jirou asked, a bit impatient.

"I told you a while ago, I don't know… I think its mood swings or something."

Jirou sighed, but he smiled a few seconds after. "Well… anyway, thanks for taking me here, Marui-kun." He kissed Marui quickly and ran off, waving his hand goodbye.

Marui stood there, fingertip on his lips, "Jirou… you…?" He smiled, and then continued heading home.

When Jirou reached home, he took out his phone and saw a short message that read:

Thanks, Jirou… You just made my day.
