A/N: Just a spur of the moment, one-shot idea I got. Urgh, I don't even know if you do water cacti. I seem to remember that you don't have to water cacti, but I just put the watering part there anyways to help the story along. Reviews and criticism really appreciated. Please, though, no flames.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own PoT. Takashi Konomi does, though.
Summary: Ryoma keeps getting mysterious gifts, so he confronts the person responsible. FujixRyoma
Ryoma had had enough. Of what, exactly? Fuji. For the past week, everytime he went home, he would find either a cactus with a bow tied around it on his doorstep, or a tube of wasabi with the same kind of bow. It had come to the point where his father was getting really annoyed at all the cacti piling up on the ledges and the wasabi in the refrigerator.
So how did this lead to Fuji? Well Ryoma, like everyone on the Seigaku regulars team, knew that wasabi and cacti always pointed to Fuji.
What he didn't know was why Fuji was doing this. Had Ryoma accidentally unknowingly incurred the wrath of the tensai? So he confronted him.
"Fuji-senpai," Ryoma cornered him after practice.
"Ryoma-kun! What can I do for you?" Fuji responded with that ever-pleasant smile on his face.
"Have you been leaving stuff on my doorstep?" As always, Ryoma went straight to the point, and didn't dilly-dally.
"Why, what do you mean?" Fuji asked, with his smiling mask still in place. Ryoma searched Fuji's eyes for any clue as to whether he knew what he was talking about, but couldn't find anything.
"Well, it's funny. I've been finding cacti and wasabi on my doorstep for the past week, and everyone knows that you love both of them," Ryoma replied. "Are you sure you had nothing to do with it?"
"And what if I did?"
"So you're saying it was you?" Ryoma asked.
"No, I simply asked what if it was me," Fuji replied, with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes that disappeared as soon as it had appeared.
"…" Ryoma was really puzzled and a bit frustrated now. Talking to Fuji was always a puzzling and frustrating experience, though. He should have known that he'd be led around in circles. "If you did, I want to know why you're doing it."
"Really," Fuji mused. He stepped forward towards Ryoma. "Did you water the cacti?"
"Excuse me?" Ryoma started.
"I asked if you watered the cacti," Fuji said quietly, with an evil gleam coming into his eyes.
"Ah…yes, I did," Ryoma stuttered. Evidently, he saw the gleam, too.
"Good job, Echizen," Fuji praised as if he would a puppy. The gleam in his eyes was gone.
Fuji stepped forward again, reached his hand out, and ruffled Ryoma's hair, again as if he would a dog. Before Ryoma could react, Fuji turned around and started walking out of the changing room.
"Oi, you haven't answered my question!" Ryoma ran after him.
Fuji turned around, grabbed Ryoma, and pinned him against a locker.
"Eh? Fuji-senpai?" Ryoma was startled.
Suddenly, Fuji leaned forward and pecked Ryoma's lips. In a split second, though, he pulled back.
"Does that answer your question?" Fuji asked, as if he had not just kissed his teammate, and a boy at that. He turned to walk away.
Ryoma just stood there in shock as he watched Fuji's receding back. In that moment he couldn't help but think dryly, 'Remind me never to ask Fuji-senpai a question again.'
