26. One piece
It was a lazy sunday afternoon when Naruko spotted Imaizumi on the coach, texting someone. ''I thought you'd be out there training, don't you want to beat me?'' Naruko asked. ''I'm going to train soon enough, Nami had his eyes set on some mountain he wants to climb.'' Naruko blinked a few times, before saying, ''Nami? You literally took a piece of his name and used that as a petname for the one you love?'' Imaizumi shrugged and said, ''He calls me Zumi or Ace-kun.'' ''You two are hopeless.'' Naruko mentioned
27. Sweet.
Arakita eyed them, as he cleared his throat. Manami stared innocently at him, they were just snuggling on the couch, nothing wrong with that, right? You two are cute and all, but did you even think beyond snuggling? You still are from different teames, and Manami isn't the angel he appears to be.'' he said. ''I knew what I engaged a relationship with, and he knows what I did. Out of us two, he's the sweetest one.'' Imaizumi said, as he rubbed Manami's cheek fondly. Arakita nodded, his message had gotten across.
28. Special.
''There is an Animaru-kun special coming out!'' Onoda cheered, as he had assembled the group once more. ''We aren't coming this time.'' Toudou said, still remembering how often Arakita had flicked his forehead the last time. ''Is it too confusing?'' Onoda asked, and Makishima said, ''We already have a full sceduele.'' ''I am coming, Animaru-kun is epic.'' Naruko said, and Manami nodded along. ''How about you, Hotshot?'' Naruko asked, and Imaizumi didn't see anything against it. ''I'll come too.'' Arakita said, before gaining some weird looks. ''Someone has to watch over you two, and your captain obviously wants time with his boyfriend.'' he said with a blush. Imaizumi figured that Arakita was a special kind of nice.
29. Dinner.
Imaizumi had to admit that he found the Hokogaku team in all together, insane. That coming from him had to mean something, because, well, his rival was Midosouji-kun, he trained with a perverted idiot, and an Otaku, and had tied up his sempai. That being said, he still couldn't compherend what he saw during dinner with the Hokugaku team.
A very vain Toudou, eating pork like his life depended on it, he swear he was just being way more neat with Makishima-sempai around. Shinkai, eating energybars, and cuddling with some bunny, as he called their guest Usagi-san. Then there was that second-year, Izumida, who found it approriate to eat without a shirt on. Arakita, trying to mainting his colorful language as he talked with Manami, and Fukutomi, who was trying to balance two plates on his chopsticks. After Manami had told him that this had been the most normal dinner so far, Imaizumi decided to pray to the gods, to thank them for having a slightly normal team.
30. Shirt.
The next training was coming up, and once more, Hokogaku had been invited for practice. ''Nice shirt you've got there, Manami-chan.'' Makishima suddenly said, making Imaizumi look up, and sure enough, the bluenette was wearing his shirt with Usagi on it! It was way too big on him, and yet, that made it much more adorable.
''What do you think, Hotshot?'' Naruko teasingly asked, and Imaizumi grinned, before saying, ''I am going to devour him the next time he wears my shirt.'' making Manami blush, and Arakita, who had been talking decently for the past two days, uses his very colorful language once more.
31. Gift.
''Imaizumi-sempai, Manami asked me to give you this. Fukutomi-sempai was trying to help Manami with studying, so he couldn't bring it himself, instead Izumida-sempai did.'' Onoda said, as he handed his sempai a pink box, wrapped with a red ribbon. Imaizumi's cheeks flushed as he took the package. ''Thank you.'' he said, as Onoda skipped off, ready for the latest Hime Hime rpg game.
'What could this be?' he wondered. 'For my hunny-bunny' it read, strange, didn't sound like something that Manami would write. As he opened, he found chocolates, shaped like a very weird hearts. He sniffed it before he tried one, and inmiddiatly his stomach clenched as he tumbled over in pain.
Meanwhile, at the Hokogaku compound. ''Finally done with the studying. Neh, Toudou, have you seen my chocolates, I was still making some before?'' Manami asked. Toudou didn't have the nerve to tell Manami that he switched their boxes and had sended them out. After all, he didn't want Makishima to know that he was a terrible cook.
32. Brag.
''Manami, would you mind to do something for me?'' Imaizumi randomly asked, as they were cycling up the hill. ''Depends, what do you want me to do?'' Manami ask, of course, losing this race was not an option. ''Naruko always brags and beats me in a lot of ways, but there is one way I can beat him. If you don't mind a little dress-up that is.'' Imaizumi asked. Manami almost nodded, before asking, ''What do I get out of it, Ace-kun?'' ''Some fun?'' Imaizumi said, wiggling his eyebrows, and Manami nodded.
That evening, as Naruko was telling him about yet another victory, Imaizumi nodded, before saying, ''Well, I did beat you too today.'' ''Oh, with what, Hotshot?'' Naruko asked. ''I've met a maid.'' he said, before opening his phone, and showing a picture of a dazed, and satisfied, ruffled haired Manami, indeed with a maid dress barely on. Naruko's jaw nearly dropped, and decided not to talk to Imaizumi for a few days (not that he was envious or anything)
33. Drama queen
''Maki-chaaaan!'' Toudou wailed, as he ran towards his lover. ''Eh, Toudou? Something wrong?'' he asked. ''It's terrible! We are not longer the most adorable couple by Megane-kun's standards!'' Toudou cried out. ''Ehr, no, but we never were the only ones, the kid has like a thoussand OTP's.'' Makishima said, his boyfriend was so over the top dramatic sometimes. ''Then why has the background of his cell a picture of Manami and Ace-kun kissing?'' Toudou demanded to know. Makishima twitched a few times, before asking, ''What are you doing with Onoda-kun's cell?''
34. Scarf.
''Eh, did you get a cold?'' Onoda asked, as Manami awkwardly nodded his head. Naruko barely could stiffle a laughter as Toudou whispered, ''Maybe you shoud leave hickeys below the neck, Ace-kun.''
35. Angel.
''Neh, Manami, there is something I've been wondering about.'' Naruko said, as they watched Imaizumi getting crowded by a flock of fangirls, letting out very loud squeels. ''Oh?'' Manami asked. ''Doesn't that ever get to you, I mean, Imaizumi is very populair with the girls.'' he said, as one of the girls attempted to give Imaizumi a hug.
''That? Not really. I trust Imaizumi with my entire heart. If he were to break it, it was a choice he'd make, and a mistake I made then. But he won't, because we love eachother lots.'' Manami nearly sparkled as he said this, making Naruko stare in awe, as he almost visualised an halo and wings among with Manami. ''Hotshot got very lucky.'' he said.
36. Jealousy.
A stern Imaizumi never meant good news. So when he went really hard on his team today, Onoda couldn't help but ask whether everything was alright, and Naruko asked what had crawled up his ass and died? When he refused to answer, Onoda decided that asking Manami would be a good idea, and texted the teen. But he didn't recieve a reply.
Later on, when Manami had cycled to them, a route from 55 miles, he ran towards his boyfriend, and said, ''Stop being so childish, it was just one day. He's my friend, and my sempai.'' But Imaizumi didn't reply, leaving a worried Manami as he walked to his room, saying he had some homework to finish.
37. Concern.
It was Arakita who noticed that they hadn't talked in a while. ''Hey, what happened?'' he asked them, none of the lovebirds said anything, refusing to look to eachother. Even though Fuku-chan was closeby, he raised his voice and shouted, ''Listen up you morons. I don't care how fucking stupid the mistake you nitwits make is. If neither of you begin talking in one effing minute, I'll crush your freaking jaws so that you'll never kiss again.''
''I don't think Zumi-sama wants to kiss me.'' Manami said, making Arakita stutter before saying, ''I-I don't think so, Imaizumi?'' The captain's eyes hardened, before saying, ''Of course I want to kiss him, I don't see why you are meddling in.'' ''We went over this, I don't see Arakita-sempai like that.'' Manami shouted, before Arakita was trough with this bullshit, grabbed their skulls, and smacked their lips together, making the both of them blush. Arakita did ask if it hurted afterwards, and Imaizumi shook his head, everything was alright again.
38. Karaoke.
''Manami's like an angel, so he must sing very well.'' Was something Imaizumi heard a lot. Whenever he heard Manami sing though, he wondered if he was that fair of a judge, because good singing, or barely making the right noise, sounded good in his ear, as long as it came from Manami.
39. Defensive.
''Weakizumi is doting a lot on you lately, angel-zaku.'' Midosouji-kun randomly asked, as he was trying to keep up with the Hokogaku progidy. ''Ah, I suppose so.'' Manami said, not paying attention, rather focusing on the lovely mountain they were cycling on. Imaizumi, cycling right behind them, watched them, his eyes slightly twitching. In no time, he passed them, gave Midosouji a sharp look, before smiling and saying, ''Manami, let's go.''Manami nearly beamed, as he sped up, Imaizumi following suit, but not neglecting to flip Midosouji the finger.
40. Airheaded.
Imaizumi twitched his eye a few times, as he was looking at his drenched boyfriend. ''Wasn't your team training 205 kilometers from here in the west?'' he eventually asked. Manami nodded, still smiling. Imaizumi rolled his eyes, he would call Fukutomi to let them now that Manami had cycled the distance at night, for the third time this week. After all, Manami was too airheaded to mention this to the said sempai.
41. Sinister.
''Sakamichi-kun is precious!'' Manami said, and most people, yes even Arakita, and Midosouji-kun agreed with this very fact. Little did any of them know, that Onoda Sakamichi was already plotting for his next real life OTP. Of course, mission Makishima & Toudou and Imaizumi & Manami had been succesfull.
42. Clothing
''What do you think?'' Imaizumi asked Arakita, for some odd reason they had gotten close, and he wanted to be sure he looked fine for the party that his boyfriend would throw tonight. ''Che, knowing Manami, he wouldn't care, as long as he gets to take them off.'' Arakita replied, making Imaizumi blush.
43. Dance.
Imaizumi sighed content, as he and Manami swayed to some smooth music. ''I love you.'' he whispered softly, and Manami snuggled closer.
44. Ice
''Woah, that's cold!'' Imaizumi said, as he and Manami enjoyed a banana flavored ice-cream together.
45. Picture
''Get back here, and rip that this instant, or I will tear your fucking ass apart!'' Arakita shouted, as he ran after Naruko. Imaizumi blinked a few times, before he spotted Naruko dropping something. When he picked it up, he noticed it was his boyfriend very explicitely drawn. ''That's mine.'' he said, before folding the paper and sticking it in his pocket.
46. Google
Manami could barely withhold his laughter as Imaizumi tried to find something online. After all, it wasn't everyday you encounter someone who didn't use a simple search engine such as Google.
47. Candles
''Tonight?'' Manami asked, as he spotted Imaizumi laying on their (okay, officialy his) bed, and a few lights were lit. ''Tonight.'' Imaizumi nodded, motioning for Manami to come near the bed. Manami smiled, blowing one of the scented candles out, before pulling his shirt off. ''Let's have some fun.'' he said.
48. Cosplay
''Wow, dude. Not cool.'' Naruko scolded, as he spotted Imaizumi, snuggling with some lady. ''You are in a relationship.'' he added scandalized, as the lady blinked a few times. ''I know, that's my boyfriend.'' Imaizumi deadpanned, and Manami offered a wink. Naruko only fainted.
49. Queen
''Bii-cycle! Bycycle!'' Manami and Toudou 'sang' in chorus. Both Imaizumi and Makishima shook their heads, their significants others shouldn't be allowed to sing when they are in a funny mood.
50. Hypopotomonstrosuskwipideliphobia
''Gyaaah! It's a long word!'' Naruko shouted, before throwing his book towards the wall and running off. ''Do I even want to know?'' Makishima asked, and Imaizumi shrugged, before texting Manami.
