Light Switch
(Eyeshield 21 One-shot)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Eyeshield 21.
"Yikes!" Sena cried, tripping over a bench during an attempt to escape the sudden darkness in the clubhouse. "Sena?!" Mamori called, afraid that he might've sprained an ankle. "Fucking monkey, turn the goddamn lights on!" came Hiruma's threat. "Where's my fork?" Kurita asked himself. "I can't see the words!" Yukimitsu shouted. "FORK!" said Komusubi.
"Get your damn hands off me!" snapped Kuroki. "Shut up! I'm trying to find my manga!" snapped Togano. "How 'bout you both shut up so I can find my sanity!" Jyuumonji shouted.

"Sorry!" Monta apologized, flipping the light switch on, "I was just trying to help Sena overcome his fear of the dark…" "I-its ok, M-Monta," chattered Sena, sprawled out on the floor, his heart thumping wildly in his chest.
"Sena's always been afraid of the dark," Mamori informed Monta. She walked across the room. "It'd be best not to push him too much, though. He might get hurt," Mamori explained in a motherly way while helping Sena to his feet.
"Sena, you're afraid of the dark?" asked Kurita, who was using a spoon to scoop up the last bit of chocolate cake on the table. "Y-yeah," Sena admitted, embarrassed. "Lame," Kuroki snorted. Jyuumonji and Togano nodded in agreement. "Well, we all have things we're scared of," Mamori pointed out.

Hiruma half-listened to the conversation started between his team. The quarterback was on autopilot, typing while pausing every once in a while to quickly jot down some new information into his little threat book. But only once did he stop to glance at his running back.
Hiruma smacked his gum loudly, watching Sena blush red when Monta shouted, "NIGHT LIGHTS?!" Hiruma narrowed his eyes when Sena made no attempt to stop the Huh brothers' laughter, only blushing a darker shade of red.
The gum in Hiruma's mouth popped.
And in that moment, a light switch only connected to Hiruma's brain… switched on.
Kekeke.
Hiruma let his gaze wander to the group and knew his plan would go unnoticed. Stealthily, he moved across the room and stopped once he reached the door. He grinned and placed his hand over the light switch.
"WHO TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS?!" shouted Monta somewhere. "I can't find my cup of tea," said Kurita, sounding defeated. "T-TEA!" followed his 'pupil.' "Sena!" Mamori called. "Argh, this assignments due tomorrow!" Yukimitsu said loudly. "Shit, Togano! Touch me again and I'll punch your lights out!" Kuroki threatened. "It's not me! I'm over here!" Togano called from across the room. "THEN WHO'S- !" Kuroki was cut off. "Shut your pie hole, it's me and I'm trying to find my soda, idiot!" Jyuumonji huffed. "M-Mamori?" Sena squeaked, his eyes clamped shut. "I'm coming, Sena! Just keep talking and I'll find you!" Mamori shouted. Sena opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by a hand covering his mouth. Sena's eyes flew open.
"MMPH!"
The lights came on again and there stood Hiruma, happy as ever. "Hiruma!" Mamori said, cheeks puffed out in anger, starting to rant on the quarterback for being 'inconsiderate to others' feelings.'

"Sorry, Sena, I didn't mean to scare you... And how did you get over here, anyway?" Yukimitsu asked, staring at the running back. "Weren't you across the room?"
Sena glanced around, taking in his surroundings. "I-I probably ran without thinking, again..." Sena laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head at the same time.
---
Hiruma's ears twitched as he followed Yukimitsu and Sena's conversation, completely ignoring Mamori. He whipped around and clenched his teeth. Shit.
There sat Ishimaru. Red as ever.
...Apparently the track team captain had been there all along, sitting right next to Sena...
A/N: SURPRISE, SURPRISE! I was going to have Hiruma smooch Sena but then it came out like this... ;; *puts up cardboard shield* Just in case...
