From His View ch 2:
Getting Advice
Two thousand six-hundred eighty eight…two thousand six-hundred eighty nine…two thousand six-hundred and ninety… sweat dripped off his face and arms, as he did his push ups using only thumbs. Why did he do such an impulsive thing? His body was much too spoiled, and now he had to learn how to train his body into listening to his mind by pushing himself beyond his normal limits.
So there he was in the living room, absentmindedly counting as he continued his punishment while Sena slept on peacefully and innocently, never knowing what had just occurred a few hours ago. By the time shin reached two thousand and seven hundred, his arms were aching so much that they shook violently that he had to stop lest he hurt himself. But he would deserve it for violating poor Sena's personal space like that especially when said person was unconscious and therefore unwilling.
His frown came back as he thought while he rested. These feelings were much too confusing, and very new, as he had never felt them before and didn't know how to deal with them. All he knew was that they were all related to Sena. Maybe Sakuraba would know, as he seemed more knowledgeable in the ways of interacting with people anyways because he was an idol.
"Sakuraba, are you there?" Shin knocked on Sakuraba's door, a strange feeling in his gut. He heard a grunt from beyond the door and several thuds coming his way. A particularly loud thud and an equally loud curse came out Sakuraba before he opened the door and rubbed his eyes blearily.
"Shin? What're you doing here? It's 3 in the morning!" Sakuraba voice cracked and Shin noticed that Sakuraba was favoring his left foot. Sakuraba noticed Shin's silent observation and gave him a wry grin.
"I stubbed my foot on something in the hallway and fell over. It's still a bit sore…and what are you doing here again?" Sakuraba yawned widely his mind slowing down, as he was ready to fall asleep while standing up. Shin shifted, uncomfortable and anxious about what kind of answer he would get.
"Yesterday afternoon, our talk…I still cannot understand what the feeling I am currently experiencing is. I was hoping that you would be able to help me identify these feelings so I would know how to take care of them and put my mind at ease…" Sakuraba's head had bobbed up and down, his eyelids drooping downwards and Shin continued on thinking that Sakuraba had motioned for him to keep talking.
"I…" Shin hesitated. "I have...these dreams and thoughts that involve this person and…" Shin audibly gulped. "T-they involve touching in inappropriate places." Shin's eyes stared at the ground, ashamed that he wanted to do such a thing. Hugging someone was surely a violation of someone's space! Especially when it wasn't during a football game!
"mmm…" Sakuraba's sleepy mind barely registered what Shin had said and thought about something else completely. "Shin it's normal for guys to think about that stuff…uhh…when that happened I guess it's 'cause you feel lust towards them or because you have a crush on them." Sakuraba's sleepiness infiltrated his words and made them slur.
Lust. That was a familiar word to Shin. Surely he didn't feel intense sexual desires towards Sena did he…? He thought back on his actions and thoughts and was horrified. No! This feeling was lust?! He had urges to kiss Sena and to h…h-hug him! Surely those had qualified a lust? But was he really only physical attracted to the smaller boy? No…he was also attracted to his personality…so…what was that word? A crush? He had a crush on Sena?
Shin was so stunned at his own revelations that he didn't notice that Sakuraba had fallen over in his sleep was beginning to snore from his awkward position on the ground. Shin walked away from the room to return to his dazedly.
with Sena...
His eyelids felt so heavy, and his body hurt everywhere. Hiruma was going to kill him for getting beat up and not making it back to practice…Sena opened his eyes reluctantly halfway, grateful that the lights were dimmed. Wait a second. Lights?! His eyes flew open and he was greeted by an unfamiliar room and began to panic.
"W-what? Where am I? Oh no, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die…!" a small imaginary Hiruma popped into his mind's eye in all his demonic gun-toting glory.
"Ya-ha! Fucking chibi! Where the hell are you and why are you skipping out on practice?! And where's all my shit from the fucking store you damn shrimp?!" the mini-Hiruma cackled and began shooting at his conscious.
"Hiee!! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to forget!" Sena scrunched up into a small ball, closing his eyes tightly and hoping that Hiruma wouldn't hurt him too much.
"Damn straight you better be! Now get your sorry ass back here" mini-Hiruma disappeared from his mind and Sena unrolled himself from his position, the blanket sliding off him. Sena stared at the blanket at surprise.
"Huh? A blanket?" Why was he here? What had happened to him? There was a blank spot in his memory, and Sena sat on the couch clutching the blanket and tried to remember how he came to be in this foreign place.
"Ah…it was raining and…I was shopping for Hiruma!" Sena smacked a hand in one palm, happy that he was able to remember a bit. "And then…" Sena paled.
"Agon came and beat me up…he cornered me in the alley before I could get away…" his face scrunched up when he tried to picture what had been happening; especially before he passed out. He could remember a giant dark blur knocking away Agon and him relaxing in someone's strong arms when he finally let go of his consciousness in relief.
Sena blushed. Those arms were pretty warm…b-but they carried me like I was some kind of girl! Sena felt a bit indignant when he realized that his savior had carried him bridle style! And in public no less! Sena bit his lip when another thought occurred to him.
If I'm here…than that means that he saved me and brought me back to his place. He noticed bandages covering him throughout several places on his body and lifted the blanket and promptly blushed. They even took off my pants! It's a good thing they left my boxers on though.
"Where are my clothes?" Sena craned his neck, trying not to aggravate his wounds while he looked for his clothes from his seat on the couch. Seeing that his clothes were no where in sight and instead noticed the clock on the other side of the room Sena decided to go back to sleep and to thank his savior properly in the morning and ask for his clothes back then.
Shin stepped into the room just as Sena fell into a deep sleep, and made way quickly for his room. He threw open his closet door and began to search through it for something that one of his teammates had recently given him for his birthday as a friendly joke. Shin had thrown out most of the clothes in his closet when he had found the item that he was searching for in the corner under a shoebox. He snatched it and walked towards his bed, ignoring the uncharacteristic mess that he had made in his rush and reverently read the title of the book.

Shin let out a breath, his eyes wide as he carefully opened the book to the first page and began to read it intensely as if he depended on it for his life. Many hours later, Shin stumbled out of his room to make breakfast, the small booklet tucked into a pocket in his pants. As his head was buzzing with new information Shin had not noticed that Sena had left with Shin's blanket who had thought that no one was coming and decided to leave but would come back at a later date.
Author's Corner
[1 thought this would be a good idea having Shin rely on a book instead of a person to give him advice on his love-life. i have no clue what really happens in relationships so if some people want to give me advice i'd gladly use it(especially if it's vague enough for someone like Shin to misundertand it). otherwise, it'll be absolute crack that i come up with on my part. :D haha
hope you guys like this chapter! r&r please!
