Yukimura/Yanagi (Friendship/fluff)
Yukimura Seiichi, the beautiful, blue-haired, captain of Rikkai's tennis team, sighed disappointedly, staring at the phone in his hand. Pouting, he snuggled his face into his second best friend's chest. Yanagi Renji, Rikkai's data master, chuckled softly, stroking the bluenette's hair as they lay in Yukimura's bed. Yanagi lay on his side, one arm beneath his friend's neck, the other stroking the soft, blue head cuddled against his chest. The bluenette sighed again and wrapped his arm around the data master's waist, dropping the phone to the bed on the other side of the young man. The air in the room was comfortable and the boys saw nothing strange in seeking solace in a friend via cuddling.
"I can't believe that Sanada…I told him about tomorrow's botany fair a week ago! And now he can't show up?!" Yukimura's muffled voice portrayed the pout that Yanagi couldn't see but knew was present on the bluenette's face. He sighed, stilling his hand in the blue hair and opting instead for rubbing Yukimura's shoulder in a friendly matter. After a moment, the data master spoke in his soothing voice;
"You know how Genichirou is, Seiichi. My data confirms there is a 72 percent chance he has a sort of affection for you. However, his familial bond and sense of dedication or duty to them is beyond any sense of enjoyment for himself. He won't say no to his grandfather when asked a favor." Yukimura sniffled indignantly into his chest. After another moment, Yanagi sighed.
"I know…that I'm not the man you are trying to woo or win over…" his friend snorted against him.
"Trying…more like failing…" Yukimura's words sounded downtrodden but Yanagi continued to speak.
"…but I would be willing and happy to escort you myself." He felt the smile against his uniform shirt. Yukimura squeezed him tightly. Their legs entangled and, to any other, the boys looked like lovers. The captain finally raised his pretty head, resting it farther back on Yanagi's arm. He was smiling, looking at his friend through affectionate eyes.
"I know Renji…I know you would and thank you, I accept…God, why couldn't I have fallen for YOU instead of that dense rock and his stupid hat?" Both boys laughed softly and Yanagi hesitated for a moment before speaking into the quiet of the room.
"Seiichi…I-" his voice caught in his throat and for a moment he didn't know how to continue. But then his best friend cocked his head over his arm, warming it, and hummed curiously.
"If you ever get tired of trying…with Genichirou and his thick skull…" Seiichi's slim fingers found his chapped lips and silenced him as the bluenette giggled softly.
"…I know Renji…and thank you. So much. For you to be so unsure of your own preferences at the moment but still willing to try and be a prince for me if all else fails…you're so very selfless…so wonderfully selfless Renji." Seiichi's smile turned gentle and he stroked his pale fingers over Renji's face, hesitantly trailing over his lips. Finally, Yukimura leaned forward and Yanagi slowly met him halfway. The kiss was barely there, just the brush and press of two pairs of warm, chapped lips, but they both pulled back smiling, light flushes fanning over their cheekbones. With a grin, Yukimura spoke;
"And you're very important to me." It took Renji's brain a moment to remember what they had been saying but when he did, he smiled back. The air was still comfortable but this time there was something else, something more. Yukimura snuggled back into his companion and silence reigned again until the soft buzzing of the bluenette's phone interrupted. Yukimura searched blindly behind Yanagi, furrowing his brows in 'deep' concentration and huffing sarcastically as he brushed against the data master's rear a few times. Yanagi laughed aloud and his friend grinned cheekily as he flipped open his phone. He stared for a moment before scowling and dropping it again.
"Ya know Renji…I may just take you up on your wonderful offer." Yanagi just laughed again, pulling his best friend in for a comforting hug.
"…I'm serious…"
"Oh…"
Two soft laughs filled the room again as the pair comfortably joked (or perhaps not) of all the couple activities they could do together and how Yanagi would never even think to ditch Yukimura. Yukimura also mentioned, not once but twice, how Renji was the prince to his own damsel in distress.
