I Will Not Ask Marui Why He Needs Sweets


The Rikkaidai regulars were all in the clubroom, except for Yukimura, who was, up until now, still in the hospital. They were all doing what they normally do. Sanada was observing all of them, Akaya was playing a game with Marui, Renji was writing some notes, Yagyuu was reading a book, Niou was, uh… sleeping, and Jackal was listening to some tunes.

"I'm going to win!" Akaya shouted.

"No, you won't!' I WILL!!" Marui shouted back.

Akaya stood up on his two feet, "Ha! I win!"

"It's not over yet!" Marui grabbed the second year's feet and pulled him down.

The fall caused a loud noise.

"Marui; Akaya, stop that," Sanada commanded.

They both pouted. "Che."

"What now?" Marui asked. "I'm bored. And the rain's non-stop."

"…Marui-senpai, why do you need gum? Isn't it distracting?" Akaya asked out of pure curiosity.

Marui popped a bubble. "I thought I already told you why."

"…I forgot."

"My stamina's low, remember?"

Akaya poked it, and it popped right on Marui's face.

"A-KA-YA!!"

"You look so ugly," Akaya laughed. "You're even uglier than fukubuchou after he wakes up!"

Marui groaned. "It's so sticky… You'll pay for this!"

He shoved some gum into Akaya's mouth.

"You! Blow a bubble!"

"Why?"

"JUST DO IT," the tensai said, glaring.

And so he did. Then, Marui poked.

He laughed in an evil manner. "Now you're uglier than me!"

"Jeez…"

The End
