"Sanada, I love you."

Sanada stared at Yukimura. He questioned his hearing until Yukimura repeated the sentence once more. Sanada's jaw dropped and he stared at the wavy-haired boy in shock. He wondered if this was the real Yukimura (considering the love letter event that happened a week ago) and his surprise began to turn into doubt as the idea unsettled him.

He eyed Yukimura cynically. But he could see nothing wrong; Yukimura's eyes were still a chocolate hazel, his lips still soft and curvy and his hair was still black with a tinge of sapphire, not a wave out of place.

Yukimura seemed to have realised Sanada's doubts and grinned, his smile characteristically charming. "I'm not Niou," Yukimura said, authority lurking in his sugary alluring voice as usual, "Niou's outside with Bunta."

Sanada looked, and indeed, Niou was on the courts with Marui. Niou seemed to be showing Marui a new card trick he learned. How typical of Niou, Sanada thought and turned to Yukimura. Suddenly, Sanada raised his hand and pinched Yukimura's cheek. Yukimura swatted the hand away and growled angrily. "Run 30 laps, now!" He said in a lethal tone and Sanada immediately retreating out of the change rooms, beginning his 30 laps.

After his 30 laps, he went into the change rooms again, where Yukimura was still waiting. "Why did you pinch me?" Yukimura asked angrily, rubbing the sore bruise.

"I thought you were Niou," Sanada apologised, lowering his head.

"I'm going to punish you," Yukimura said and stood up from the benches. He grabbed Sanada's hair forcefully, causing the older boy to wince in pain, and pulled his face close. Yukimura's smile curled into a sadistic smile and he leaned in closer, parting his lips slightly.

Sanada felt a wave of panic hit him. What should he do? On one hand, he wanted to touch Yukimura in that way as well, but on the other hand, was it morally right to do such a thing? However, there was not much time to decide with Yukimura's lips a breath away.

"Are you still worried that I'm Niou?" Yukimura murmured, his warm breath blowing on Sanada's lips. "Don't worry, there is no way I can be Niou. He can't be himself and someone else at the same time."

Sanada's breathing became raspier and quicker as Yukimura leaned in. I guess he has a point, Sanada thought, this must be Seiichi. He decided and tilted his head, a blush colouring his face as he parted his lips to meet Yukimura's.

Suddenly, Yukimura pulled away, a mischievous smile glimmering in his eyes.

Sanada was about to ask why when the door swung open. He praised Yukimura's quick reaction, until...

He realised that the person who walked in, was none other than: Yukimura Seiichi.

Sanada spun around and found the Yukimura who had tried to kiss him a moment ago gone. "Sanada," the real Yukimura said jovially, "did you see Yagyuu's disguise of Niou? It was awesome! He actually looked and sounded like the real Niou!"

Sanada nodded and said, "Yukimura, can you please lock the door?" Yukimura looked at Sanada quizzically, but nevertheless did as he was asked. Sanada turned to the lockers and swung them open one by one with brute force. Yukimura stared at his fukubuchou and wondered if he had suddenly become mentally challenged.

When Sanada opened the last locker – Kirihara's – the white haired trickster fell out, landing on the floor awkwardly. Surprised and shocked that Niou could fit in such a small space, Yukimura took a step back instinctively. But Sanada took a step forward and raised his fist. "I cannot believe you made me run 30 laps!" Sanada roared.

Yukimura tilted his head, wondering what had happened between the two, and watched as Niou fell before the Emperor's iron fist of judgement. After Niou crawled up from the floor with a growing bump on his head, Sanada stormed out of the change rooms, shouting,

"YAGYUU!"
