I Like You: Chapter 1:
Hiruma stood outside the locker room, alreadychanged into his practice gear (a different colour then his old Deimon uniform).
"Just hurry thefuck up shrimp, I said I'd help Deimon train, but I can easily change my mind."
After all he'd only done so as he'd promised Mamori...and that was done with.
Sena sighed as he hurried. Even though he was being yelled at again…it was nice to think
That nothing had really changed after everything that had happened. He jogged out the door
where the other was waiting.
Hiruma turned and walked toward the field where the rest of what was left of the Deimon Devil
Bats were already practicing, snapping his gum as he went. He could hear Sena's footfalls
behind him as he caught up but didn't acknowledge them. It was late afternoon already as he'd
already been to his own team's practice, but Wednesdays were always shorter giving him time
to drop by here.
"Of course that meant the twerp had to have been really fucking late." Hiruma thought to
himself, snapping his gum again.
He watched his former captain's back for a moment. "..ah.. Hiruma...?" He mumbled quietly,
staring at his feet.
Hiruma paused before steps leading down to the field and turned his head to stare down at
Sena, who had caught up to him, to show him he was listening though not looking particularly
pleased to be delayed again.
He averted his eyes nervously. " I...was just wondering how…t-things were with you and…Uh…"
He wasn't sure if he should really be asking about it but he was curious.
Of course the shrimp would have to ask that of all questions. It made sense though, he and
Mamori usually arrived together on Wednesdays, but she hadn't been showing up the last two
weeks, though he had been told she showed up on other days. Hiruma's eye twitched as he
thought about it and is demeanour got decidedly more sinister.
"Enough questions fucking shrimp. PASS DRILLS!" Hiruma shouted and grabbed Sena by the
shoulder, half pushing him down the stairs to the field and yelling to gain the attention of the other players.
Sena yelped a little in surprise. "Did, did that mean something did happen?" Sena wondered. He
had heard rumours but he figured they were just rumours. He hadn't thought that they had
actually split up.
Hiruma threw the ball he had tucked under his arm and shouted the name of the pass route,
watching the players scramble. The new guys really were terrible, Deimon wasn't looking to
good without it's seniors. He made his way over to the ball cart already set up on the field to
gather up more ammunition, having to pause before he threw the next pass to yell at the
incompetent tangle of players who'd fallen all over the field. Sena stood holding the ball in the
middle of it all, look bewildered. Monta had gotten caught up in the rest of the players.
"GET UP. NEXT PASS." Hiruma shouted, calling out the name of a simpler pass route and
hoping for a miracle.
The practice wore on that way for another hour, Sena and Monta had no problems catching, at
least when the other players didn't get in the way. Taki caught a few as well before getting
distracted, as per usual.
By the end of it everyone was sweating and heaving from the strain, except Hiruma who had
just gotten progressively more pissed off. As the team dispersed he sat on the steps with his
machine gun slung across his lap, even firing it at them wasn't likely to help as Hiruma couldn't
be there everyday.
Sena wandered over to him. The aura Hiruma had given off earlier when he'd asked had left
him intimidated but he was determined to know what happened exactly, to set the harsher
rumours to rest. Sure he should think about practice but…he felt this was more important.
A shadow fell across Hiruma's line of sight and he shaded his eyes with his hand to get a better
view... Eyesheild... helmet... Hiruma leaned back on his elbows and found he was vaguely
amused that Sena was looking down t him for once. "Why do you want, twerp?" He asked
without venom in his voice, sounding tired.
Sena frowned. "I...uhm…are y-you…going to answer me?"
Hiruma glared up at the helmet. Wearing it seemed to make the shrimp bold, which was usually
a good thing but Hiruma wished he'd back off this one. He still had that annoying stutter-y catch
to his voice now too though which annoyed Hiruma normally. But even with all that annoyance
piled on him Hiruma didn't feel as angry as he normally would and leaned back further on his
elbows.
"Mamori didn't tell you?" He asked in a flat tone.
Sena's stance faltered and he frowned more.
Hiruma rolled his eyes and leaned his upper body against the steps behind him, folding his
arms under his head.
"You really fucking know how to hit hard twerp." He replied with little
humour. "Okay." he looked up at Sena again.
"If you NEED to know so much." He laughed a bit mockingly. "She. Left. Because she
suddenly discovered she was a LES-BI-AN." He sounded out the word slowly like he was talking to a
child or an idiot.
"You know what that means Chibi?" The corner of his mouth turned up mockingly.
"N-no I don't..." Sena mumbled quietly.
Hiruma couldn't see Sena's expression with the helmet covering it but the words he spoke...
Hiruma couldn't help it... He'd just been teasing. He'd never thought Sena actually wouldn't
know. That laughter bubbled up form nowhere (really he wasn't in the mood to laugh) but soon
he was nearly howling with it.
"You, You don't?" He forced the words out as he struggled to
catch his breath, but then the laughing started over again.
He flushed with embarrassment. "…I'm sorry…that…that happened. " He offered, though not
understanding what anything meant yet, other then Mamori had left Hiruma.
Hiruma smiled his normal smile (which looked more then a little evil) as he finally stopped
laughing. He ignored Sena's condolences for a second in favour of teasing him more, and
avoiding thinking about the more serious things.
"So Sena," He called Sena by his name,
drawing the word out in a sing-song kind of way (which was more then a little creepy). "How
does a high school senior not know what a lesbian is?"
" Ah! I .. uh.. well .. I just.. d-don't .. know.. " He shuffled his feet, looking down at them. " Is .. It
bad?"
Hiruma caught himself before he started laughing again and stood, bringing his hands over his
head in a stretch before placing both on his hips and leaning down so he was eyelevel with the
eyesheild.
"We~ll." he began. "Lesbians are girls. Who like girls." He braced himself, waiting
for Sena's reaction, Wondering if he needed to be more blunt.
He wasn't sure why he hadn't been in the first place but somehow felt saying incredibly lewd
things to Sena may be counter productive...he may not even know the meaning of some of the
words in Hiruma's vocabulary
"..L-like as... in.. l-love?" He mumbled quietly, blushing a small bit.
"Sure, sure." Hiruma answered. "Or just sex." His grin grew wider as he watched Sena become
more flustered and stifled more laughter.
"O-oh...Ah! …Mamori?! …you said…she.." He blushed harder. Was that okay?
At the mention of more serious things Hiruma's smile waned, coming back as a bitter smirk.
"Yeah, I did say." Hiruma replied. "And she's already got a girlfriend too." He spat bitterly.
"Figured you'd have seen that already but I suppose you wouldn't noticed, if you didn't even
know what a lesbian is."
Did she really? " T-that's…sad…" He mumbled again. He almost wanted to comfort the other
but. "Is it…okay? For…that t-type of thing?" And, Sean wondered to himself, could only girls be
that way?
Hiruma laughed at Sena's reaction, still bitter. Hell yeah it was sad. Who the hell's girlfriend
turns gay on them anyway? Well his apparently. Was it okay? Well yes and no. It was perfectly
find by him if girls wanted to do girls. Hell he was a teenage boy he practically encouraged it...
Of course he wasn't expecting Sena's next question.
"W-w-what about.. boys..? " He averted his gaze again…if it was .. okay then.. why didn't he see
more of it?
"Well, yeah." Hiruma answered, he hadn't really thought Sena would come out and ask that.
"That's less accepted by the general populace though, then girls." He felt the need to explain it.
"both aren't considered normal though." He sighed, even with Sena's reactions to entertain him
he was still melancholic. This wasn't like him.
" Oh...well…that's more sad…what if..,t-they're really in love?" He .. was just curious.. as to why
things like that weren't accepted...
Hiruma brought his hand up to his forehead and pinched the bridge of his nose. Trust the twerp
to turn his teasing around into something weird and sappy. He didn't need this right now. He
had been feeling tense and angry all month because of what had happened, what Mamori had
suddenly decided to do (and it was sudden) he really could care less if she was really
love...even if Sena was just a general question about same-sex couples. He really needed to
work of the tension. Maybe he'd go for a run or something around the track.
Sena sighed, noticing the other's stressed appearance. He mumbled an apology.
Hiruma glanced down at the mumbled apology and sighed himself. He decided maybe one last
try to turn the teasing mood back to where it had been (which was to say, to make Sena
uncomfortable for his own amusement). "So, chibi, why are you so interested in guys with
guys?"
He blushed more. "I-I'm not! .. I .. was.. just curious.. " He fidgeted.
Happy to have gained the upper hand again Hiruma decided to step up the game. He leaned
closer and whispered in Sena's ear.
"You're curious? About what about that would make you curious."
He flinched at the close voice, " N-nothing! .. ah w-well I mean .. well I .. just..
don'tunderstandhowitreallyworks."
Hiruma chuckled darkly and decided to push him further.
"Well Sena." he breathed more heavily the necessary next to his ear. "When a boy and another
boy love each other very much..." he began in a mocking tone, quoting the speech most parents
make to young kids about sex, then brought his arm around quickly and copped a feel. "One will
enter here."
Sena had already taken off his helmet since they'd started talking ad was holding it in the
crook of his arm and so even if he'd expected the move he'd have been unable to block.
Hiruma laughed aloud and stepped back, smirking.
He jumped, blushing harder. "W-what?! W-why there.. w-why.. " He stepped away from the
other quickly.
Hiruma doubled over laughing at the boy's blush, stutter and obvious miscomprehension. He
leaned forward, supporting his weight with his hands on Sena's shoulders, some what surprised
the boy didn't protest after his last touch... naive thing. When he'd caught is breath he stepped
back again.
"That's how the sex works, did you mean something different by your question?" he
asked, innocently.
"....." Sena didn't bother answering. This was already embarrassing enough. He just averted his
gaze to the ground.
