I decided since it's been like, years since I've done writing that isn't for school I'd try to challenge myself with the 30 day OTP challenge for foilshipping! It'll have mixes of Yuuma/Vector and Yuuma/Rei, fluff, angst, and everything in between probably. I hope people can enjoy reading as much as I do writing it, and I'll try to update everyday, okay? Will definitely have spoilers for the newest episodes.

Without further comments, here's Day one: Holding hands.

The first time he had met Rei Shingetsu, things had been moving fast. The world was a blur because one second he had been slammed into by some guy and saw stars, then this guy was telling him he was his biggest fan and he was going to be late- But no, Shingetsu wouldn't let that happen!

It had all happened so quickly Yuuma hadn't thought anything of it when Shingetsu had held his hand to pull him along. Shingetsu was an affectionate kinda guy, and it wasn't until Kotori pointed it out that Yuuma realized every time Yuuma saw Shingetsu, the boy would hug him, or grab his hand.

Was it normal to be that touchy-feely with someone you don't know that well? Yuuma decided he wanted to try something.

"Yuuma-kun! Good morning!" Shingetsu ran up to Yuuma and tried to grab his hand. Yuuma gave a big grin and put his hands behind his back. "Mornin', Shingetsu! Didja get the math homework done from yesterday?"

Yuuma could see the other boys fingers twitch slightly and he awkwardly fidgeted with his hands, glancing at Yuuma's arms. "Ah, yeah! It was really hard, Ukyo-sensei's really not going easy on us is he?" Yuuma grinned and nodded. He didn't really care about homework much to be honest.

Rei's reaction was priceless. He kept glancing at Yuuma's hands while they were walking. Yuuma would tease him a bit by swinging his arm a little and pulling it away before he could grab it. They kept walking and talking like nothing was wrong, but Yuuma had practically declared war.

Throughout the day, Yuuma would casually pull his hands out of his reach and Shingetsu continued to look confused and mildly embarrassed. At lunch, his face was turned to a pout and Yuuma was wearing a triumphant grin. It seems some people in the group took notice.

"Does something seem, er, different about them? To summarize, Yuuma and Shingetsu seem odd today.." Takashi mumbled. The others nodded and the two in
question didn't respond.

"Maybe they had a fight-ura?" Tokunosuke seemed to lean in practically drooling at the idea of gossip to spread around.

"Those two? You're kidding right?" Tetsuo sighed. Shingetsu was the biggest fanboy ever, could he even get mad at Yuuma?

"Nothing's wring guys, why would'ja think that?" Yuuma asked with a smile, clapping Rei on the shoulder. Said boy nodded and gave a big grin, that had they not seen him pouting seconds ago, would have convinced them. "Right! I'd never be mad at Yuuma-kun!" Yuuma wanted to see just how true that was.

Three days. Yuuma kept it up for three days. He, and everyone could see Shingetsu was starting to wear thin and get more frustrated. During class he was called out for tapping on his desk too loudly and Yuuma could have sworn Shingetsu actually looked mad.

Kotori leaned over to him when class was over and gave him a stern look.

"What? What's with the look?"

"You know what! What the heck are you doing to Shingetsu-kun? Have you even been paying attention to him lately he's-"

"I'm what, Kotori-san?" She nearly jumped out of her seat and glanced behind her. "Oh, well, I mean..You seem really on edge lately. I was concerned...Are you alright, Shingetsu?" He gave her a smile and nodded.

"I'm fine, thank you Kotori-san! Actually, if you wouldn't mind, could I talk to Yuuma-kun alone?" she smiled and gave Yuuma a look that said 'fix it or else' and left. They were alone in the classroom.

"Did I do something wrong, Yuuma?" Yuuma was surprised that Shingetsu was asking so directly, even dropping honorifics.

"Huh? What do ya mean?" Yuuma knew what he meant.

"Well, meaning well, You seem to be acting odd towards me, and.."

"How?"

"Ah-well.." Rei's cheeks turned pink and Yuuma wondered if he just realized it was strange to hold a friend's hand and be so affectionate with them. To his surprise, Shingetsu smiled and nodded.

"I understand, Yuuma-kun! you don't have to say anything, okay? I'll think about it, so see you later!" Yuuma was confused, think about what? Before he could even ask, Shingetsu was gone.

"That guy..."

The following day, Shingetsu wasn't even in school.

"Yuuma, why isn't Shingetsu in school? Did you get it sorted out?" Kotori asked. Yuuma shrugged.

"I think so, he said something weird and seemed to be happy. it's hard to tell, if it's him.." Yuuma trailed off. He was wondering why he wasn't in school, too. Had he really made him mad?

Yuuma got really nervous when Shingetsu had missed school for an entire week. Everyone else had commented on how quiet it was, too. Without the red-head dragging him around getting them in trouble, it was really boring.

The day he was walking to school and saw Rei standing on the corner waiting for him, Yuuma broke out in a sprint and excitedly called for his friend.

Shingetsu grinned and waved to him. Yuuma pulled him into a hug and could feel Rei tense up slightly in surprise. "Y-Yuuma-kun..?"

"Shingetsu! You're back! Where've ya been? Everyone missed you!" the red-head awkwardly scratched his head and laughed.

"Ah, really? i had unexpected family stuff come up so I had to go away a while...I missed you, too, Yuuma-kun." His face was painted pink and Yuuma felt his own cheeks grow hot. It was just a friend, so why was he blushing?

"And, uh, I thought about it. Y-yes!" Yuuma was confused now. Thought about what..?

"Yes to what?" If Shingetsu's face wasn't red before, it was now.

"The reason you were avoiding me, giving me the cold shoulder and acting weird...you were going to ask me to be your boyfriend, right? Why else would you get so embarrassed when we held hands? W-was I wrong?"

He looked positively flustered, and Yuuma felt like an idiot. Shingetsu like liked him. And he had been so dense! He had probably spent all week worrying about it, too-ugh!

But, Boyfriend. Did Yuuma like Shingetsu like that? He thought about it. That guy was loud and annoying, and got him in trouble a lot. Despite that, he meant well and tried really hard to impress Yuuma. And the week he'd been gone had got Yuuma missing him.

Without him around he felt like it was too quiet, like a part of something essential was missing. Yuuma took a deep breath and smiled.

"You were wrong. I just wanted to see if you'd ever get mad, honestly." He watched the other boy's face fall and felt a little guilty.

"But, I do like you, too, Shingetsu! I wouldn't mind if we were uh, boyfriends.." The word felt odd to say, but if it was SHingetsu..

Yuuma watched Shingetsu go from sad to absolutely ecstatic in two seconds.

"Oh! Yuuma-kun, Really?! I'm so glad, I'll never make you sad, I promise! It'd be for the best if we held hands, right?" Yuuma laughed and intertwined his fingers with Rei's. Yuuma gave him a goofy grin and pulled the boy a little closer.

"Sure, just don't let go, okay?"

Aaaand I hope that was cute enough. Also, I'm using honorifics because it's kind of hard to convey the level of respect/formality without it and in my opinion flows better in this case. Next chapter will be out faster if I have a lil motivation. (Hint-hint c: )
