Just as Mamori said, it's almost dark when the rain stopped, and Sena is thankful that he didn't need to walk home alone. Panting, Sena tried to match Hiruma's step. It's true that he's the Eyeshield 21, but even so, Hiruma proved it to be difficult. When Sena was running toward him earlier, he walked even faster, and when finally the boy catch up to him, he would walk slowly so that Sena'd be leading.
Sena didn't protest, because he knew that that would only give more amusement for his senpai. And even thought he's being played around by him, he still felt content. It's been awhile since the last time he was alone with Hiruma, yes, since that apron-and-lube tragedy (his face turned cherry red at the memory). Long story short, Sena missed the devil.

On
every grudge and every fight
I miss you all day and night

Shivers went down Sena's spine as the wind blew. The sun only left faint strays of orange-colored light when they almost reached their destination, and the street lights already on. The wind blew again, ruffling his hair, and he noticed that, even if the older boy didn't say anything, Hiruma too felt the cold. He is human afterall.
Sena took a step ahead and stopped. Hesitated, he turned around, fists clenched tightly on his sides. With a shaky voice, he finally let it out.
"Would you…would you like to come inside? I will serve the tea" he offered, only to be answered by silence. "I….as a thank you…. I mean, it's….well, it's okay if you don't want to, I…then…." He said again, finally giving up after a minute of silence.
"…..alright…" the tone was harsh and the voice was muffled by the wind, so Sena can't let his hopes up yet, it could be just his mind playing trick on him.
Seeing Sena's doubt, Hiruma only sighed and pushed the younger boy (after turned him around so that he faced the door), "I said it's alright, show the way!" he said, unseen to Hiruma (not that it's unknown), Sena's smile rose.

Have
you had your time off today
To drink a cup of tea and smile away?

"Mom, I'm home!" Sena called, after opening the door using his key, holding the door open to invite the older teenager in. Sounds of footsteps getting closer came into Sena's ears, "Sena, is that you?" said a woman from distance, and not so long after, his mother came into view.
"Ah…I see that you bring your friend home, who is he, Sena?" she asked, smiling kindly to Hiruma, then scowled at Sena, "Why didn't you tell me earlier anyway?" she added right after. "Huh? Sena?" she called for his son, worry in her eyes, seeing the said son is trembling, head bowed.
"…friend…" he mumbled out, earning a 'Huh?' from his mother, and a raised eyebrow from his senior (thought he couldn't see it). "He is my…..boyfriend…." he said, seemingly hesitated to do so, then turned his head a little to face his 'boyfriend'. He only wanted to said that sentence so bad that he forgot to think about anything else. Beside, he wanted to draw some reaction out of Hiruma, well, if things got bad (Hiruma went berserk for example), he could always ask protection from Mamori. Right now, the most important thing forhim to do is to give away a hint(s) to Hiruma, and see how he would react. It's so important, so urgent that he forgot the existence of his mother, standing before them, mouth opened wide.
"WHAAAAAATTT??????!!"
Needless to say, Sena Kobayakawa forgot to predict how his mother would react to this surprising fact.

Sometimes

Hands on his lap, fidgeting uneasily, the one with red face and brown hair is in fact, Sena. Beside him, sipping a cup of tea calmly, legs crossed, supporting his face on his left hand, is Hiruma. Daring himself, Sena stole a glance toward his upperclassman.
"What?" the said upperclassman responded to Sena's glance, even without opening his eyes, startling the smaller teen even more.
"Uh….um….are you….are you mad, Hiruma-senpai?"he asked, now staring nervously toward the older teen. The aforementioned teen opened his eyes and glanced to the side, putting the cup on the saucer without a sound, making Sena jump. Whenever Hiruma is around it seems like Sena became so jumpy. Still, to be able to stay with him outside the club activity (and without listening to his brain-hurting plans) is kind of….nice, no, exciting if he might say.
"Aside form the fact that you refer to me as your boyfriend without me knowing? No…not at all, nice, fcking boyfriend" he said, somewhat bitter. Sena's head hung low in shame.

Will
ever see you
Without all your game plan

"Wah…wah…sorry for intruding, here, I brought come cookies to go along with the tea." Said Sena's mother, bringing a plate full of cookies on her hands, smiling. "More tea, Youichi-kun?" she asked after putting the plate on the table safely, then proceeding to take the teapot, lifting it so she could pour it into Hiruma's cup. The way his mother called Hiruma successfully made Sena jumped in fright. No way, he could kill her anytime!!!
"…..Sure," he said, "…Mom" he added right after, smiling, making both Sena and his mother blushed. Yes, you read that right, smiling, as in s-m-i-l-i-n-g. to regain her composure, Sena's mother quickly poured the tea and waved her hand, trying to cooling the heat on her cheeks.
"Aww……you're so sweet!" she said, effectively made Sena choked on his tea (he tried to calm his heartbeat, and failed in doing so), Hiruma's eyebrow twitched but this went unnoticed to Sena's mother. "You're welcome to come here anytime, son." She said cheerily, there's no hint of disgust or disappointment in her voice. At this, Sena was already in coughing fight.
'S-sweet? I would agree if it were "cool" or "handsome" or something else, but "sweet"?' thought Sena as he covered his mouth using both hands, trying to stop the cough.
"My, my….Sena, if it was me, your grandmother would say, 'Don't disgrace yourself right in front of your future husband' you know?" she said, shaking her head in disbelief, unknowingly making Sena's cough worse. As a good 'future husband' he is, Hiruma quickly put his hand on Sena's back and started rubbing it. Heat crawling on Sena's skin and refused to move from its comfortable spot: his cheeks.
"My,my…..seems like this old woman is disturbing the both of you, don't worry, I don't see anything nor hear anything either….." she said, winked then walked away.
"…cough….cough…..cough…..MOM-COUGH…..cough!!!!!" Sena's scream went unheard to his mother, who quickly called the source of her information on the phone: Anezaki Mamori.
