-After the dare-

Endou walked back to sitting room with a disgusted look on his face. "Don't ever make me do that again!"
"I will give you an extra Bakunetsu Storm in the face too if you want..." Gouenji offered.
"N-no thanks, Gouenji-kun... heh..." Endou replied quickly.
Gouenji smiled.
"Okay, Kidou, truth or dare?" Endou continued.
Kidou thought for a moment. If I pick dare I'll probably be forced to do something embarrassing and Fudou would never let me live it down, but then if it's my turn I could ask him... If I pick truth, Endou may ask me what happened between Gouenji and I, and I don't really want to face Gouenji's wrath, but after what happened I doubt he would ask that... "Truth."
"Hmm," Endou pondered. I'd better be careful with Kidou, he and Gouenji can easily wriggle out of an embarrassing situation... "Is it true you hate Fudou with all your guts, or is there really some friendship in there?"
"What kind of question is that?" Kidou enquired.
"Just answer!" Endou urged.
"I see him as a teammate." Kidou answered.
"But do you like him as a teammate?" Endou added.
"Sorry, your turn is over, Tsunami?" Kidou ignored him. Endou grumbled.
Tsunami looked up. "Hai?"
Man, I should have asked Fudou. Kidou mentally face palmed. "Truth or dare?"
"Hmm... dare!" Tsunami decided.
Kidou smirked. "You love water right?" He whispered the dare to Tsunami.
Tsunami went pale. "Dude!"
Kidou laughed his head off.
"I'll get my revenge on you, man, just you wait!" Tsunami gritted his teeth and trudged over to the bathroom.
Everyone was silent.
"What did you make him do?" Gouenji asked. Kidou whispered the dare to Gouenji.
"That's evil, Kidou." Gouenji snickered.
"Says you!" Kidou retorted.
"You two are like Evil Twins or something!" Rika exclaimed.
Tsunami came bolting out of the bathroom hunched over, thinking: If it wasn't for surfing, I would now hate water. He nearly threw up. "Eww!"
Kidou and Gouenji guffawed again.
"Wow, I've never actually heard them laugh before." Touko looked over to them.
"You should laugh more Gouenji." Endou smirked. "It's cute!"
Gouenji blushed, then punched Endou's stomach.
Endou was on the floor in pain. "Okay... I kind of deserved that, but hey! You're blushing too! We are seeing a whole new Gouenji! Look every- Oof!" He'd been kicked this time.
Gouenji huffed and slumped himself next to Kidou.
"Awww! Gouenji-kun is adorable!" the girls yelled.
"Would you all shut up?!" Gouenji bellowed.
"No, we won't shut up." Rika remarked.
"Yeah, you will shut up." Touko punched Rika. She was fed up of her 'best friend's' girly-ness.
"You will pay!" Rika shouted.
"Enough chasing for today, guys." Endou got there before Rika could start the chase.
"Yeah, it's bedtime." Hitomiko came in.
"But it's only seven p.m.!" Hiroto whined.
"Don't care." Hitomiko shrugged.
"Fine." everyone groaned. Gouenji put his pyjamas on and dropped off to sleep straight away.
Endou muttered to the others. "How does he get to sleep that quickly?"
"He just does." Kidou responded.
"Please tell me he isn't noisy when he sleeps." Fudou sighed.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kidou wondered.
"Does he snore?" Fudou repeated.
"As far as I know, no." Kidou reacted.
"Good, then goodnight." Fudou strolled off to his bed.

They had all taken a shower. "Well, we should all go to sleep." Tsunami suggested.
"Yeah." Kidou sighed, looking at Gouenji. "He looks so cute." Kidou accidentally said out loud.
"Aww, he does look so cute, now that you mention it. I totes agree!" Rika poked her nose next to Kidou. Everyone sweat dropped.
Kidou face palmed. "I meant Gouenji not Ichinose!"
"Right, so Ichinose has dropped off already as well now?" Endou scratched his head.
"Yay, I found my DS!" Kurimatsu yelled.
"Where was it?" Kabeyama asked.
"In my bed." Kurimatsu frowned.
Kabeyama face palmed. "You were playing it in bed?"
"Yup - actually I fancy a bit of Inazuma Eleven 3: Lightning Bolt right now." Kurimatsu stared at his DS.
"Is it because I'm in it?" Midorikawa wondered.
Kurimatsu shook his head. "No, you potato!"
"How many nicknames do I have?!" Midorikawa shouted. "It's M-I-D-O-R-I-K-A-W-A! Midorikawa! Hello?!
"You were in season 2 as well." Kabeyama reasoned.
"But I was an idiot pretending to be an alien then." Midorikawa's eyes moved to the ground.
"Why are you not stated in the wiki as a main protagonist?" Endou wondered.
"Yeah why not, Ryuuji-kun?" Saginuma backed Endou up.
"Everyone hates me, can't you tell? In HiroMido I'm the girl and then Level-5 and Kudou Kantoku kick me out of Inazuma Japan! I'm not even in Inazuma Legend Japan! Thanks a lot!
"At least your a hacker." Segata told him. "That's a pretty cool job."
"Yeah, but I actually worked for that job!" Midorikawa ranted. His attention was brought to Hiroto when he noticed Hiroto giggling.
Midorikawa groaned. "What is it now?" He looked over Hiroto's shoulder. He turned crimson. "You didn't!" Hiroto was still giggling. "I will ban your camera! What?! Stop reading stories of me being stabbed! What is wrong with you?!" Midorikawa shoves Hiroto off his bed. He's a HiroMido fan himself. Ryuuji thought.
"Ow." Hiroto rubbed his head.
"That's better!" Midorikawa smiled.
Everyone sweat drops.

Something eventually clicked in Rika's brain. "Wait... oh my goodness, Kidou thought Gouenji was cute?!"
Everyone face palmed at Rika being surprisingly thick. All of Rika's screaming wakes Gouenji up.
"I knew she would bring that up sometime." Touko sighed.
"...I-It was teasing!" Kidou protested.
"Oh brother..." Touko rolled her eyes.
"A new yaoi ship has sailed for me!"
"Am I allowed to murder her?" Gouenji requested. Rika screamed and ran out of the room.
"Just let the poor thing live for a few more years." Kidou patted him on the back. Gouenji sighed in disappointment.
"I guess we should do something else now." Kabeyama brought up.
"Yeah... And that's to go to sleep..." Gouenji yawned, rubbing his eyes.
"It's only nine p.m.! How are you so tired!?" Endou proclaimed.
"I usually sleep at eight-thirty, so I'm not used to staying up this late." Gouenji explained.
"You are not human..." Kazemaru told him. "I sleep at like... ten."
"How in the world?!" Gouenji gasped.
"Because I'm a boss!" Kazemaru grinned. Gouenji did a O_O face.
Lina stormed in. "Didn't I tell you guys to go to sleep?"
Hiroto clambered back onto his bed as fast as he could. "Gomen, Hitomiko-nee-san!"
Hitomiko smiled at Hiroto. "It's okay, but you must go to sleep now. Sayounara minna!"
"Okay, goodnight!" Everyone chirruped.
Just before she left, Hitomiko confiscated Kurimatsu's DS. "I'll be taking that!"
"Hey!" Kurimatsu moaned.
"Yuk yuk yuk! Ushishishishi!" Kogure giggled.
