Chapter 2 - Shut up Akito
The next day practice continued as usual. Though, Kazu found himself spending at least half his time glancing at Agito. 'Damn, he looks like he's in a bad mood today.' he thought, turning his head away to avoid catching the shark's gaze. He was starting to dread training alone with him later.
Just then, Ikki flew by and slammed a hand into Kazu's back, catching the blond off guard. "What are you daydreaming over here Kazu?" the crow laughed as he skated past.
"Ikki!" Kazu looked at his friend with an irritated expression. 'Geez Ikki, are you trying to make me fall?'
Hours passed by and before he knew it everyone had left and practice was over. Though as was usual these past few days, Kazu stayed. He sat atop the roof of the school, taking a small break before Agito came back. 'God, this is going to suck. I wonder how long I can put up with this abuse.' he pondered, taking a drink of water. 'I really wonder why he even agreed to this. If he thinks I'm so talentless and insignificant then why the hell is he wasting his time with me? I don't get it.' Kazu suddenly found himself feeling quite agitated. "Whatever." he mumbled out loud. "Why should I care what that girly midget thinks?"
"Who the fuck is a 'girly midget' now asshole?" The shark growled, standing just behind him.
A shiver of fear shot straight up his back as he turned to see Agito. 'Oh shit. He heard that...I'm gunna die. I'm gunna die. I'm gunna die. Onee-San... I love you.' "Uh...A-Agito…" Kazu stuttered. "Uh...d-did I say girly midget? Uh, no...I meant really manly vertically challenged..." Kazu stopped as he was clearly just irritating the shark more. The blond shielded his face with his arms, peeking one eye out to glance at his teammate. "I didn't mean it! Please don't kill me~!"
"I'm gunna fucking ring your skinny ass neck!" Agito shouted as he began to stalk towards the blond.
"Ah!" Kazu yelled before jumping off the roof and riding down the wall. "Stop being so mean all the time and maybe I wouldn't insult you!"
Agito scowled and jumped down after him, death emanating from his every pore. "YOU'RE GONNA GET IT YOU BLOND HAIRED SCREW UP!"
'Oh shit!' he thought to himself, as he glanced back to see he was being chased. 'Come on legs, move faster damn it!' Finding a burst of energy- or perhaps a will to live- Kazu's speed doubled as his body became a mere blur of color to anyone watching.
"... Fuck." Agito mumbled as the blond disappeared from sight.
Kazu turned around and began to spin circles around the shark's body. "Can't ring my neck if you can't catch me haha~!" he taunted, before skating off in some random direction.
"Che. You're still not fucking fast enough to be King." Agito remarked, his eye able to catch Kazu's movements still, even if his body couldn't keep up.
The blond spun around, briefly stopping behind Agito. "Yeah, for now, that's true but...it's still enough to tease you with." He continued to skate around, now and then getting close enough to randomly poke the shark.
"Che." The boy scowled, seriously pissed off. Kazu didn't seem to be paying enough attention to his feet, and as he was about to speed away after poking him the shark stuck his foot out and tripped the idiot. Before Kazu could do anything, Agito jumped on him with a smirk. "Try to fucking skate away now retard."
"Waaah~" Kazu yelled as he fell face first into the ground. "Ah...damn. It was a good life..."
Agito flipped the blond around so he could look him in the face. "Who's a fucking girly midget now douche bag." The shark sneered as his hand reached for Kazu's neck. His other hand held both of the skinny one's wrists up and over his head so he couldn't do anything about it.
"Er..." Kazu winced slightly at the pain. "I said I didn't mean it already. Geez. Take a joke...Life's a bit better when you can laugh at yourself ya know?" he replied, smiling foolishly despite his situation.
Akito giggled silently at the current predicament. He smiled slyly as he rested his chin on Agito's shoulder and whispered into his ear, 'At least, he has a nice smile doesn't he?'
'You. Stay out of this. Just because you're gay, doesn't mean I am.'
'Right. Of course you aren't.' Akito replied, keeping his smile.
"Fucking idiot." Seeing as Akito had ruined his killing mood the shark got off of Kazu, although he landed a good kick on his side. "Laugh on that."
"Heh..." Kazu sat up and looked up at Agito before actually laughing at the situation. "What would be the point in getting upset about it? I've been bullied before, I can take a hit or two ya know." He stood up and dusted the dirt off his pants. "Well, and I provoked you to start with so...ah...that was fun though."
"Laugh while you can, cause tonight you aren't gunna have time to laugh. Fuck you're not gunna have any fucking time to breathe."'And they call ME deranged. Che.'
'Maybe that's why you get along so well...'
"Ah, yeah. Whatever you say Agito. I told you I wasn't giving this up right? Even if I have to put up with you screaming at me." Kazu faced Agito seriously, his eyes looking quite confidant for once. "I don't care how long it takes me or how useless you think I am Agito. I will do this. It'll make it that much more enjoyable to see you have to admit you were wrong. Besides, there's no way I'm gunna let Spitfire down."
"Right." The shark replied in an 'I-don't-care' kind of tone, however he smirked, which made for an odd combination. "Then quit yapping about it and fucking get started." he added as he headed towards their training area.
Kazu smiled and took off his hat, stuffing it in his pocket. It would probably just fall off while he was riding anyway. He took in a deep breath, trying to concentrate seriously on his training. The blond started off, doing considerably better then the day before. This was far different from his little game playing earlier; he was actually paying attention to his movements this time.
'Hmn...? He's gotten serious on you. I think you got to him Agito.'
'Whatever, he asked me to help him and I did... Fuck, why is helping people such a pain in the ass?' Agito watched silently, his arms crossed as Kazu was able to pull off one trick after another. Although a few were still sloppy, he was a hell of a lot better than his efforts showed yesterday.
Akito laughed. 'If it was that much trouble for you, you wouldn't be doing it.
'You're right, why am I doing this again?'
'Hmn...I wonder...' Akito replied with a knowing glance at the shark.
'Shut up Akito.'
Kazu stopped suddenly, landing in front of Agito. 'Odd, he hasn't cursed at me yet.' The boy looked to his teammate, waiting for the usual criticism.
"What? You got a fucking problem, prick?" Agito swore, seeing Kazu's distraction.
"Umn...no. I just thought...you'd have had something to say by now." he replied, a bit surprised. 'Does that mean... it was good?'
"Your back step is still fucking retarded. And you lose speed when you drag your left foot on the ground when you turn, fucking fix that godforsaken habit of yours and you'll be a helluva lot faster in the long run. Your turns are too fucking wide, make 'em shaper." Agito shouted, realizing what the blond's train of thought was.
Kazu stared blankly at Agito for a few seconds before smiling at him. "Oh? Right. I'll work on that..."
Akito giggled. 'Hmn, he looks quite different without his hat on. Don't you think so Agito?' he stated plainly, ignoring his last warning to shut up.
At this point in time Agito had a feeling nothing he said to Akito would make a difference; the cheerful boy would just ignore him and go on with his delusions.
Kazu turned and did the trick again, trying his best to apply Agito's advice, though it was harder to do then say.
"Fuck, now your right foot is dragging, 'the fuck are you doing?" Agito yelled with a scowl. 'There goes his improvements.'
Kazu sighed. "Ah...crap." he muttered, recognizing his own mistake. He looked down at his feet curiously. "I don't know why I do that..."
"It's because your balance is fucking off. Your still trying to keep you balance on both legs like a fucking idiot. Go around the room five times on one leg." The shark ordered, his eyes narrowing.
Kazu did as Agito suggested, though it was more like a command then a suggestion. The training continued in a similar fashion for a few hours. Kazu continued to try his best and Agito continued to criticize his faults. After awhile the blond sat down for a break. He took his water bottle out of his bag and took a drink before running a hand threw his hair. He sat staring forward, panting slightly from the workout.
Agito let out a slow breath, with a mixture of a growl somewhere in it. "God, you are such a fucking pretty boy." He commented under his breath as he rolled his eyes and looked elsewhere.
'Hmn?' Akito smiled. 'Yes, he his pretty, isn't he?'
"Huh?" Kazu turned his head as he heard Agito's voice, though he missed what he said. "Did you say something?"
'So what, are you getting hard for Kazu too?' "Nothing, just drink your water, you cunt." Agito snapped back.
Akito suddenly laughed. 'Oh, no no. I'm not interested in Kazuma-san. He isn't bad looking is all I'm saying. The more interesting thing here is that you said 'too.' You just admitted it you know. He's all yours.'
The blond raised an eyebrow at Agito's sudden outburst. "You're... really odd sometimes you know that..."
'... No, I meant that- You+Ikki= you hard and now- oh screw it. You're just gunna twist everything I say.' "Goddamn it..." Agito cursed out loud, clearly irritated again.
Kazu stared confusingly at his teammate. 'Why is he so frustrated all of a sudden?' The blond sighed and took another drink of his water. "Man, why does it have to be so humid lately?" he whined. Finding the heat mixed with his own exhaustion from skating around unbearable, Kazu removed his shirt and lay down on his back, now staring at the ceiling.
'Ohh~ look at that.' Akito called suddenly, encouraging Agito to look back at the blond.
The shark glanced over only to curse a long string of 'fucks' and knowing someone's mother very intimately.
"Hmn?" Kazu looked up at his frantic teammate. He sat up and stared at Agito again. "Are you okay? What's got you so worked up suddenly?"
Akito had now broken out into a hysteric laughter. 'You're so obvious Agito. Why are you torturing yourself?'
'Because you gave me masochism.' Agito replied dryly. "Che. Nothing, get back to work."
"Guhh, alight alright." Kazu stood up and went back to practicing, his shirt still laying on the ground.
'Hehehe. Wouldn't it be better to just say it already. Really, you'll feel better.'
'Shut up, just shut up Akito...' Agito rubbed his temple as a headache crawled up on him. He focused on watching Kazu's feet intently, ignoring his snickering other self.
'Oh, come now. Don't be like that. I'm actually very happy for you Agito. You shouldn't hide your feelings so much. Your getting so worked up. It's bad for your health.'
Kazu stopped after awhile and looked worriedly at Agito. "A-are you sure you're okay? Do you have a headache or something? You know, you don't have to stay if you aren't feeling well."
'You're bad for my health.' "Shut the fuck up and keep riding." Agito replied, glaring at Kazu.
'Ohho..now that's just mean.' Akito replied teasingly.
'The truth hurts.' The Shark responded wearily.
"Uh...k...well..." Kazu grabbed a small bottle of Advil out of his bag and passed it to Agito. "At least, if you have a headache, you should take something for it." With that, he again went back to his practicing.
Agito nodded in acknowledgment to Kazu as he popped the bottle and swallowed two pills.
'Is that why you won't admit your feelings for Kazuma-san?' Akito replied, with an oddly serious expression and a small smirk on his lips.
'Don't be ridiculous, the only feelings I have toward that imbecile is irritation and tolerance.' Agito responded with a scoff.
'Why do you have such tolerance for him Agito? Really...I'm quite good at reading these kinds of things you know, especially if it's you, as much as you might hate it. I told you, the fact that you're so hostile towards the idea is proof enough. Even if you can't say it right now, you should at least admit it to yourself. Are you afraid of this being the case? Is that why? I'm not teasing you here Agito, I'm speaking seriously.'
'I tolerate him being around, I'm not saying I fucking like that that imbecile is around. And why shouldn't I be hostile toward that idea? If the idea were true I'd have to fucking accept it now wouldn't I?'
'You would think that would be the case. But you are quite stubborn even to yourself. Most people would be hostile to some degree, probably. However, hmn...how should I put it...? It's a different kind of hostile. It's like you're being very defensive.'
'Yeah, right. I'm gunna deny that I'm being defensive and then you're just going to say that I'm being defensive about not being defensive. You can't pull reverse psychology on me Akito. I taught it to you.'
'Did you? Well, you're right. It doesn't matter how much you deny it. I already know.' Akito let out a slightly sorrowful sigh. 'I wonder how long it will take for you to really realize it.'
'There's nothing to realize... Oh, I give up...' Agito sighed and returned his focus to the outer world. "Your turn was sloppy, your foot is still fucking dragging. What the hell was that?"
The blond stopped and took a few breaths. "Ah, I dunno, maybe I'm just getting tired." Kazu replied admiringly. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit discouraged. "It's like I'm just trying too hard now, maybe...something like that."
"Then don't try so hard stupid." Agito replied just as wearily as Kazu felt.
"Eh...but..." Kazu looked confusingly towards the shark. "Well I can't not try but...if I ..I guess I must be thinking too much about it...maybe it's just..." he mumbled incoherently, trying to reason it to himself.
Kazu's mumbling only made Agito's headache worse, despite the pills of Advil the boy had swallowed earlier. Finally it became an unbearable pounding. The shark skated toward Kazu and stood in front of him looking up. "Shut. Up."
"Huh?" Kazu snapped out of his mumblings and looked down at his annoyed teammate. "Umn...sorry. Uh well, you don't look like you're your best today and at this point I think I'm just decreasing in skill so...I guess. We should just end it here tonight huh?" Kazu suggested, picking his shirt off the ground and throwing his bag over his shoulder.
"Whatever... Fuck. I need a fucking nap." Agito growled as he headed for the exit.
