I wish I could tell you how I truly feel

"Alright boys! That'll be it for today! Hit the lockers!" Momoe had given explicted orders to Nishiura's 9.

Today's the end of the school week, and the team had just finished an intense practicing session out on the fields. Inside the locker rooms, the boys were just finishing up showering, putting on clothing, etc.

"Sigh". Tajima sighed immensely laying heavy eye contact on Azusa Hanai, The captain of their team and right/center fielder.

Tajima always had a thing for Hanai, just him gazing upon his crush shirtless was enough to send him in a dreamscape for hours.
He'd never talk to anyone about his intense crush over Hanai before except for three members on the team.

Abe, the catcher, Mihashi, the team's pitcher, and Sakeaguchi, second baseman. Sakeaguchi noticed Tajima's mood and proceeded to see what was up with him.

"So, did you tell him yet?" Yuto Sakeaguchi asked.

"Ahh, no not yet." Tajima informed as he put on his T-shirt.

"Why not? What's the worse that could happen?"

"Rejection?!"

"C'mon, don't say that! You and Hanai are great friends and I'm pretty sure he'll understand."

"But, Sake, I'm not even sure if he even likes guys."

"Ohh, I didn't think of that... ehehe, sorry." Sakeaguchi commented rubbing his scalp

Abe and Mihashi couldn't help but overhear their conversation, walking into it.

"So why don't you just spend a night at his house and tell him how you feel?" Abe suggested with arms folded behind

"eh.. I don't know, I can get a little nervous when it's just us two, is that what Mihashi did with you?" Tajima taunted

Mihashi then blushed immensely.

"HEY! WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN? I KNOW MIHASHI LIKES ME, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE TOGETHER!" Abe defensed up!

"Y-y-y-yeah Tajima, I-I think Abe, i-is right. You should give it a try! :" Mihashi stuttered.

"Yeah, Abe's right Yui, Try to walk home with him after locker room time and ask him to stay over." Sakeaguchi stated.

"Heh, I guess I could give it a shot! ^_^. Mihashi, you've got a great boyfriend on your hands :P" Tajima teased.

Mihashi: O/O

"THAT'S IT YOU MIDGIT! YOU'RE DEAD!" Abe said with anger.

"Ha! You'll have to catch me first! xD" Yuichiro Tajima stated as he began running around the locker room while Abe chased him.

Reviewing his reflection in his locker mirror, Azusa Hanai couldn't help but notice Abe's and Tajima's weird behavior. "Woah, I wonder what's up with those two?" He thought to himself continuing his business.

Soon after their locker time had ended, the team parted ways onto home to get ready for the big game tomorrow. Tajima thought about what Abe and Sakeaguchi told him to do in the locker room.

If he wanted to tell Hanai how he really felt about him, he knew he needed to take a chance. Tajima re-routed his way from home to the path where Hanai had been going.

"Huff... HEY! HANAI! WAIT UP!" Tajima yelled from a distance catching up.

"T-Tajima? What's up? Why aren't you heading home?" Hanai asked

"Hah...I ... wanted to ask you... If I could spend the night at your place?" Tajima asked.

"M-my place? We have a game tomorrow! And we have to get up early!"

"I-I- I know, but I just... I wanted to come stay with you for the night."

"Ehhh... I guess, but what about your stuff dude?"

"No need to worry! Got it all right here! ^_^" Tajima hovered his bag.

"O-Ok... sure, let's go then." Hanai said as he and Taji started walking.

"Yeah! Thanks! I, also wanna tell you something later on tonight." Tajima blushed

"About what? Why can't you just tell me now as we walk?" Hanai wondered.

"Hah! you're funny man!" Tajima said patting his shoulder.

"O... k? Wow, he's acting totally different from how he was in school today, and his face has been turning red a lot lately. Could it be that he's exhausted from the heat? Or today's practice?" Hanai thought as they both continued to his house.

As Hanai and Tajima both reached the house, Hanai still couldn't figure out why Tajima wanted to crash at his place, or as to why his face was red the whole time through them walking. He was also slightly worried of the twins possibly annoying them both to death for no exact reason.

"Mom! We're home!" Hanai noted to his mother taking off his cleats at the door.

"Oh Azusa! Welcome home! Oh and hi Tajima!" Mrs. Hanai said holding a kitchen utensil

"Hi Mrs. Hanai!" Tajima greeted with a smile.

"Mom, can Tajima stay for the night?" Hanai asked

"Oh sure, he can stay. Dinner will be ready soon too. Also don't worry about the twins bothering, they're over a friends place" His mom addressed.

"All right! I'm starving!" Tajima shouted, as usual.

After eating dinner, washing the dishes, and cleaning up the messes, The boys went up into Hanai's room to watch some Television, and to also do a bit of studying for school.

"Ahhh, there's nothing to watch!" Tajima complained flickering through channels.

"Taji, keep it down, I have a huge test on Monday and I'm trying to focus" Hanai stated adjusting his glasses.

"Hey let me study with you!" he said proping down on the floor next to Hanai turning off the TV.

"Sure, just read with me." Hanai said flipping the page.

A moment of silencee struck the two as they were reading. Tajima, however, noticed how close he was to Hanai while sitting next to him.
Noticing his toned/muscled body through his black T-shirt, made him result into a slight blush. Hanai noticed him and was slightly confused by his action.

"Uhh, Tajima? You feeling alright?" He asked feeling his head.

"Uhh, yep! Never felt better! W-Why would you even ask? :P (Oh crapppp, he notices it!)"

"You sure? You sound fine, but-"

"Ehehe, dude I'm alright! (I've got to stop blushing!)" *Tajima stops blushing*

"He's not red anymore, that's a relief. I thought he was falling ill. I need him to bat clean-up at tomorrows game." Hanai thought continuing his studying.

...

...

"Hey, Hanai?" Tajima asked.

"Hmm?"

"Do you, like someone?"

"W-what!?"

"Well do you Hanai?" *Gets closer*

"I... I don't know Tajima! I'm not sure.."

"You do don't you? Who is it? I'll tell you if you tell me."

"What!?" *Hanai turns red*

"Wanna know? Huh? :D"

"N-Not really Tajima, I don't."

"B-But... he's an amazing person! You should know who he is! He's jus-"

"Woah, woah, woah. He?" Hanai cutted.

"Err, yep :)"

"So that means you're..."

"Gay? Yeah!" Tajima finished.

"Oh..."

"You didn't know Hanai?" Tajima asked.

"No, you never told me till now, or, anyone... else. Btw, who else knows?"

"Ehh, a lot."

"Does the whole team know?"

"Yeah! But, they don't know who it is I have feelings for." Tajima noted.

"I see. But... wait, why keep it from me? Why tell me last?" Hanai questioned.

"Uh... I'm not s-sure. Are you mad at me?"

"No... It's alright."

"Phew, thanks for understanding."

"It's getting late Tajima, I'll grab us cups of water, and then we'll head off to bed."

"Oh, um ok. Take your time Hanai." He said with a saddned expression.

As Hanai walked out of the room, Tajima couldn't help but tear up a little, realizing how much time he wasted before he could tell Hanai how he actually felt about him.

"Gahh, I'm so stupid! I should have told him. *Sigh*, maybe... it's for the best if I don't. But, I want to. I want to tell him how much I'm in love with him. I have to think of something before this night is over... Hanai... ugh." Tajima thought to himself lying on the floor.

While downstairs pouring water into plastic cups for him and Tajima. Hanai had thought about the events that took place today with Tajima, and as to why he reddened when he'd get close to him.

"Hmmm, it still doesn't make sense. Why didn't Tajima ever tell me he was gay. It's not like I was gonna shun him or anything. He told everyone else but me. I don't understand. What could he be hiding. There has to be more. Hmmm..." Hanai thought as he poured water in Tajima's cup.

"Wait... Tajima would turned red occasionally through out the day. He wasn't sick, he would've been less hyper than normal. So... I'm guessing he blushed all those time.) Hanai thought once again taking the cups out of the kitchen.

"Wait.. could Tajima... actually have feelings for me? Am I the guy who he was talking about?... No, it can't be, he would've told me anyway. ..W-Why am I blushing to this thought? Do I actually like him? I don't know... Maybe I'm just over-thinking this." He thought drawing closer to his room.

Upon opening the door, Hanai walked in to notice Tajima lying securely on the floor day dreaming for some odd reason.

"Here you go Tajima." Hanai said handing him the water.

"Thanks, Hanai." Tajima thanked taking a sip.

Hanai noticed that Tajima was upset about something. He assumed his thesis to be correct, but decided to ignore it to avoid an awkward conversations before they go off to bed. Hanai decided to just leave it as it was.
...

...

"Listen, Tajima... we should get to bed. We have to-"

*SPLASH!*

Tajima dropped his plastic cup on the floor full of water. He ran up to Hanai. Hugging him tightly also making Hanai drop his cup. Tajima buried his face in Hanai's chest, crying his eyes out. Hanai was shocked as his whole body was flat up against his door, not embracing the hug, just blushing immensely as his heart beated rapidly due to Tajima's pain.

"T-Tajima... W-what? W-why are you..."

"Hanai! I can't take it anymore! I love you! I'm tired of holding it back!" Tajima cried.

"T-Tajima..."

"I need you Hanai, I think about you all the time! I can't help it!"

"I... I... I ne-"

Tajima then thrusts his lips and brings them to Hanai's. Exploring the inside and out, blushing deeply. Hanai tried to slightly pull away but couldn't as Tajima deepend more. After a few more seconds Hanai seemed to not wanna break apart. After 13 more seconds the two split apart and made heavy eye contact with a surprised expression from them both while also red as bright Fire trucks.

"Hanai... I..."

"No... Um.. it's... alright... Tajima."

"W- we should... get... to bed."

"R-Right..."

With those addressed words, The boys changed clothes. Turning off the lights and getting into bed, Tajima decided to sleep on the same end as Hanai. He layed an arm around Hanai attempting to cuddle.

At first, Hanai wanted to pull away, but then he realised how soft Tajima's body was. He then wrapped his arm's around Tajima and proceeded to shutting his eyes, Just as Tajima buried his face upon his chest, once again. The two then fell into a deep slumber holding eachother throughout the night.

Gah! Just love these two, they're just perfect together! :D
