Pair: Oh come one, you should know that.

One-shot the first: Masochist


Sometimes Ryoma had to wonder why he actually agreed to go out with Akutsu.

The older was never truly nice or helpful, sometimes he even hits him. Not too hard, but Ryoma still had a big purple bruise on his arm or leg, or wherever Akutsu had hit him.

His teammates saw those and got worried, especially Oishi, and after the first couple of times they didn't even bother to ask, they already knew who was responsible for those. But when they, meaning Oishi and sometimes Fuji, would ask Akutsu about it and almost order to stop beating his own boyfriend or just get it over with and break up, Akutsu would just glare at the and answer with a 'Don't order me around' and walk away.

But after that Akutsu would come to Ryoma's place and apologize, in his own awkward way. He didn't make stupid promises, like 'I will never hit you again' or 'This was the last time'; because he knows that Ryoma will have another bruise just a couple days later.

But then there were days when Akutsu would do something un-Akutsu-ish.

When Ryoma got sick he came and sat in his room all day, reading or playing video games while Ryoma himself slept. When he was awake Akutsu would call him an idiot for getting sick so easily, but would brush Ryoma's green tinted locks away from the sweaty forehead anyway and watch him sleep.

There were also times when some sore losers, that Ryoma had beaten in tennis, would gang up on the short teen and try to 'show him his place', thus giving Ryoma a lot of bruises and cuts, sometimes a sprained ankle or in worst cases something broken. When Akutsu finds out what had happened to his boyfriend he would go on a rampage to the associated schools of the ones who had done that to Ryoma.

Useless to say, that the beaten tennis players had to spend some quality time in the local hospital and would later go to a psychologist. At these few times even the regulars had nothing to say, except 'He does care about you Echizen' in a really surprised voice.

But even with all that, Ryoma still has to wonder why he agreed to date Akutsu. He has a theory, that he's a masochist, but that speaks for itself when you are dating someone like Akutsu.
