Chapter 2- Bonding

"Fuji."

"Tezuka-San.."

"Have you noticed Yumi acting weird all of a sudden?" the gold-haired captain asked.

"Yes. Do you know why?"

"Unfortunately, no. Will you tell me?"

"Saa, I guess there's nothing wrong with that," Fuji started, "You see, Me and Rika have started going out recently. It was all good until I realized she liked me." Fuji starts.

"..Oh," Tezuka says.

"Though, she tries to hide it from everyone...silly girl." Fuji finishes.

"Well, she sure isn't doing a very good job at it." Tezuka states.

"Don't worry Tezuka-san. I know Yumi's more suited for you anyway." Fuji smiles.

Tezuka's eyes widened, just a bit to notice.

"You.. You know I like her?" Tezuka asks, stunned.

Fuji smirks gently, "It's not hard to notice. Besides, you seem more... joyful.. when you're around her. So don't worry. I won't try taking her from you." He says as he smiles at his close friend.

"F-Fuji!" Tezuka says.

Wait a second... is he.. is he turning RED?

Fuji chuckles, noticing the sudden change of color in his said close friend.

"Saa, I have to go now. Rika's waiting for me. Just call me if you need me okay Tezuka?" Fuji finishes, walking away.

"Uh. Yeah." Tezuka says still speechless.

Shusuke sneakily walks up behind Rika and hugs her.

"GAAH!" Rika said, surprised, pushing the supposed "rapist" away rather roughly.

Shusuke chuckles, "It's okay Rika, it's me, Shusuke."

Once Rika notices the sweet smooth voice of her lover, she stops. "Do you know how scared I was?" she said, hitting him playfully.

"Gomen, gomen" Shusuke says smiling.

"Oh, NE NE NE, FUJI-CHAN!" Rika started, enthusiastically.

"What is it Rika?" Shusuke asked. He loved it when Rika made plans.

"I have a plan!"

"I like where this is going. So... go on?"

"We should bond with Yumi!"

"Hmm, you're right! Any ideas?"

"..."

"..."

"I got one," Rika says, eyes lighting up, "We should pretend you got injured, we come visit you, then we tell her the truth, then watch a movie!"

"You know, we could just do it the easy way and ask her if she wants to watch a movie at my house," Shusuke chuckles, "but that won't be as fun."

"YEAH! So we're doing it?" Rika grinned. [AN: Nothing perverted intended, lolol, you sick minded ducklings ;D]

"Hmm, strawberry or chocolate pocky?" Yumi asks.

"Uhh, that's hard. Hmm, both."

"Haha, you're right! Thanks" Yumi chuckles.

Yumi and Rika are out shopping for, well, whatever stuff they see.

Everything was all good until Rika's phone rang. Once, Twice, Three times.

"Hello?" Rika says.

"Yes. What. Eh? What happened? Is he alright? Oh Okay that's good. Okay. Okay bye."

"...Rika what's wrong?" Yumi questions.

"Yumi..." Rika exclaimed.

"W-what's wrong?"

"It's Shusuke! He got into an accident!"

".. WHAT?"

"Yeah! But I heard he was lucky and got to go home today. Want to go check up on him?"

"Yeah, let's go! Let me just pay for my stuff."

So far, everything's going according to plan. Perfect.

* At Shusuke's house *

"Shu-kun, are you alright?" Yumi asks.

"Yes. I'm feeling VERY Well."

"hmm, VERY?"

"Yes."

... And so there was silence.

...

...

Until Rika burst out laughing. "AHAHAHAHAHAHA, Sorry! I couldn't keep it in Fuji-chan~" she said playfully.

"..What's going on?"

"Saa, I guess the jigs up, ne, Rika?"

"I guess so."

"Listen..." Shusuke starts, "I'm not really injured."

"...What?"

"We made it up so you would come over and then we planned to watch a movie with you" Rika explained.

"EH? YOU GUYS MADE IT ALL UP?"
Shusuke chuckles, "Gomen."

"Enough talk, LET'S WATCH A MOVIE!" Rika says outgoing-ly-ishh.

"I agree. But I am SOOOO gonna get you guys for this."

They all laugh, debating over which movie to watch, fighting over the popcorn.

This. This was all Yumi could ever ask for. Now she truly knows, she has the best friends in the whole wide world.
