Loopy V.S. Captain
Omniscient POV
As every other year all of the regulars spent the night, after the party. It was an annual thing that didn't change with the arrival of the Echizen brothers. There were still so many questions and riddles the young men wished to uncover.
Syuu's eyes opened at the thought of the closeness between Kirihara, Shiraishi and Ryoma. Forcing several people to back away, even his lovers shifted slightly.
He found his thoughts more and more wrapped around him. He couldn't understand his thought's. He was confused.
He already has four other lovers shouldn't he be happy with that, but even he knew... Even though they were all together, there was one that they each loved more.
Sei loved Gen and Gen loved Sei.
Kuni loved Kei and Kei loved Kuni.
They all loved Syuu and Syuu loved them all... equally.
It was ridiculous to feel like a fifth wheel but that was how he felt. He truly does love them but he wants what they have, that certain preference and he had yet to find that person.
After Ryoma's singing tryst he fell asleep in the arms of his 'Aka-chan', it was a very awkward moment for five teens in particular. Especially when 'Aka-chan' passed the sleeping boy into the muscled arms of 'Oshi'. It was obvious Ryoma and Ryoga knew the Hyotei and Rikkaidai ace, but the question was from where.
Sei made a mental note to force Akaya into fifty laps around the court, as did Gen. He would be stupid if he said he didn't notice the instant attraction his lover had towards the 16- year old. Syuu was his best friend before he was his lover, and he knew him like the back of his own hand. He noticed it even if he hadn't.
Kei was in the same line of thought as Sei. He too made a mental note of forcing Oshitari into an inane amount of laps. Even if Kei didn't like to admit it. He did love Kuni more than anyone else. He loved them all but he knew if anything were to seperate them, he didn't think he would be able to survive it. He was arrogant and prideful, but he knew his heart as he knew the hearts of those around him and he could sense it when Syuu's heart was plucked. All he could do is help his love find the part of his heart that's been missing.
Kuni and Gen couldn't fathom the reasons for their lovers unexpected mood swings. They didn't understand the looks or the worry in Sei and Kei's eyes. They felt oblivious and they truly didn't want to understand what was going to happen.
They fell asleep with questions as the drugged young man was carried to his bedroom, where he had yet to awaken from. It was seven in the morning and still they had yet to see the elusive prince. he remained holed in his room.
They thought prince due to a few reasons, mainly one. Whe the maids were preparing breakfast they spoke in a giggly hushed tone.
"The prince is back." They squeeled at the thought as all the regulars at the table looked around confusedly.
Inui shuffled through his notebook as Renji pulled out his laptop and they did a quick search.
"My data does not suggest that royalty lives here." Inui pulled up his glasses in a genuinly nerdy way.
"I drew the same consensus as Haru." He spoke quietly with a slight blush on his cheeks. Syuu grinned sadisticly at the blushing dataman 2.0.
"Who's the Prince?" The maids paused to look at the questioning bluenette.
"Ryoma- sama!" They spoke in sync, and giggled. Placing their danty fingers over their lips.
"Why do you call him the Prince?" Syuu opened his eyes causing all in the room to shiver by the drop in temperature.
"Not just us. Ryoma- sama is perfect at everything." They spoke quickly and glanced at Ryoga at the head of the table.
"He's not even awake yet, seems kind of lazy to me." Momo huffed towards the blushing maids. He didn't understand how so many people could fawn over him. He began eating the food, spoonful after spoonful. It tasted more excuisite than anything they had eaten in this house before.
"You should bite your tongue Momoshiro." All eyes turned to Oshitari as he spoke. He lifted his food and inspected it slightly.
"What... is the food not good enough for you?" Momo growled spitting out the food as he spoke. Oshitari ignored the question and turned to Ryoga.
"How early did he wake up?"
"You noticed it?" Ryoga coughed in an attempt to cover up his laughter.
"Of course." Oshitari said simply as Kirihara ran into the room.
"What are you guys talking about?" Sei asked in similiar confusion to those around him. Kirihara took one look at the food and yelled.
"Sugoi, Ryoma cooked for us!" Everyone turned to Kirihara in shock.
"Oh Kami- sama I love it when he cooks. He makes the best food ever." He continued gushing over Ryoma's cooking skills as he fished around the table swiping one of everything.
"Ryoma, the sleeping guy? Cooked all of this?" Momo looked up from his food with a his eyes skewed sideways.
"He, as in my brother, is only sleeping because after he passed out from the medication he woke up at 4 and couldn't sleep. I told him you all spent the night and he made breakfast for you, by himself. It usually tires him out so he fell asleep twenty minutes before you guys woke up." Ryoga gave a pointed glare at the spikey haired teen, effectively silencing who in his opinion was a bumbling idiot.
"He made what were eating?" Syuu spoke quietly as he smiled at the food in front of him. He turned to look at Kirihara.
"How did you know?" Kirihara looked at him with a piece of french toast sticking out of his mouth while his fork in his right hand held a piece of fish. He swallowed and grinned at Syuusuke.
"Easy, He signs it." Syuu looked more intently at the food.
"I don't see a-"
"It's not his name." Kirihara shook his head as he spoke, and Syuu's eyes snapped to his face.
"See, it's the reason we call him Prince-" The maids giggled as they walked away.
"He puts a little crown." Everyone looked closer at the food and noticed the crown shape whether from frosting, syrup, cool whip, or just the searing as it was cooked. It was obvious now that they knew it existed. They face-palmed.
It became unusually quiet except for a soft repetitive beeping noise that no one could place. Some were growing increasingly annoyed. Ryoga was chuckling quietly as well as Kevin, Kirihara, and Oshitari.
A loud thud forced all eyes to the stairs. It was so expected but Ryoga still had to ask, his eyes slid slowly to the main butler.
"Does Ryoma's room have an alarm clock?"
"Yes, of course... all the rooms do." The butler seemed confused. While a few others smarter people were starting to catch on.
"If you buy another alarm clock, I suggest you don't put it in Ryoma's room." Another loud thud came from the direction of Ryoma's bedroom.
"Why not Nya." o.O Eiji obviously not filling the category of the 'smarter' people.
" Arghhh! What is that noise?" Ryoma screeched forcing all males to cringe.
"It won't survive." ~_~ Ryoga spoke quickly as he sipped his coffee. Chuckling inwardly at his predictable brother.
"I take it he's not a morning person." XD Sei spoke in an equally quiet voice. His eyes peering at his lovers reactions through the corner of his eyes.
"Not at all." Kevin jabbed the laughing brother in the ribs.
"We should go make sure he's o.k., that arm is throwing off his sleeping patterns.
-meanwhile in Ryoma's room-A/N- Actual conversation in a/n at bottom.
Ryoma was dead on his feet. He knew if he had to do something he would be able to while sleeping. It was second nature to him. He was never entirely oblivious to his surroundings. It was a good thing...usually, but not when he was tired and actually wanted to sleep.
So that noise is going to die.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep-
"Arghhh!" Ryoma grabbed his alarm clock and banged it against the coffee table, and sighed. Momentarily reveling in the pause in beeps. But it was a premature thought.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep-
Ryoma grabbed the alarm clock and threw it against the wall, making another loud thud, and also a hole.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep-
He grabbed the thing on his nightstand and threw it across the room and jolted up as it shattered, only then realizing he threw his phone. It was a sad realization. He almost weeped at the sight of his destroyed phone.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep-
"What is that noise?" He lifted his body from the bed and trudged over to his laptop and opened it. In the screen was Yusei. He was a green-eyed male. He had a lightly muscled build with an old west sense of fashion, complete with cowboy hat and boots. His hair was rarely seen but it was a cropped midnight black.
"Good morning Captain Echizen." XD Ryoma was so used to the title he just did a slight nod of acknowledgement. However it wasn't 'Captain Echizen' that seemed to be bothering him. He frowned as he had to repeat the comment in his head due to fatigue.
"It's not a 'good morning', your Skyping me at... Idon't even know what time it is." He drawled slowly as his eyes threatened to close. Yusei frowned at his fellow captain. He pondered over his words for a moment wondering why he wouldn't know what time it was. His right hand stroked the light goatie that framed his chin.
"Did you break your clock?" XD Yusei spoke all to knowingly, having seen Ryoma go through quite a couple of them. Ryoma turned away from the screen as a light blush dusted hi cheeks.
"And my phone." :( Ryoma assented quietly as Yusei laughed tentatively. He knew he should be wary of his captains temper but he didn't know how to.
Ryoma heard a shuffling at the door, and realized the conversation is compromised so he moved to a relationship conversation. Which is when the use of relationship jargon is used to substitute certain words. Even if Ryoma was passed out he could still remember the jargon, it was ingrained in his mind.
"How's the weather over there?" He watched as Yusei caught on quickly. He made a heart with both hands and Ryoma nodded. His face became a stone wall of impassiveness.
"We miss you." (1) Yusei spoke quietly, embarrased by the unfortunate shift in conversation.
"Of course, cause without me you would actually have to use your hands." (2)( a/n-innuendo teehee) Ryoma smirked at his choice of words. Yusei turned into a very large tomato.
"It's not the same without you." (3) Yusei's eyes shifted to the corner of his computer screen. He always thought his boss took some sort of sadistic pleasure in watching him squirm during these conversations.
"I'd imagine it wouldn't be. You'd actually have to do things yourself." (4)(a/n- innuendo heh)
"Where's the other three?" Ryoma continued monotonously. Ignoring the indignant sputtering that left the flabbergasted man.
He could hear the people outside the door. If his thought's were right some might have actually dropped from that thought alone. But it seemed the ones that dropped were too innocent to understand the words. He figured he needed to say something more direct.
"Right here Ryoma." Two people chorused. Tamaki and Yuhei walked into view both shirtless, and Ryoma almost grinned. Yuhei looks exactly like Yusie except his hair is dirty blond instead of black and his eyes are a storny grey instead of green. Tamaki had short blond hair with dark blue eyes. He could never get over the fact that the two baby captains got together.
"What about Sia?" Ryoma frowned at the loss of one of his best friends. He has known her since he was recruited.
"Oh she left, she didn't see the purpose of being in a conversation where she couldn't touch her Ryo- chan."(5) Yusei grumbled, and Ryoma never could truly fathom Sia's attraction towards Ryoma, and he of course knew that Yusei loved Sia. The bond between Ryoma and her was pure with a sibling-like relationship, since Sia is the only one that know's of Ryoma's preference to those of the same gender as he.
"Is that so?" Ryoma smirked.
"Aa, I miss my Ryo- chan too." (6) Tamaki butt in oblivious to the tension rolling off Yusei.
"Yeah me too." Yuhei added in tentatively as he noticed his brothers anger.
"It's like were not whole without you." (7) Tamaki spoke slowly as he gauged his captain's face with his choice of wording.
"Yeah we miss our uke."(8) Yusei laughed at the thought while a few others outside the door seethed at the thought. Sure enough; Taka, Oishi, and Eiji were all passed out cold. Their minds were to innocent for the words that left Ryomas mouth.
"I am not calling any of you guys my seme over the internet. It just screams for internet hazing." (9)
The teens outside the door fell anime style while blood spurted from their noses. Ryoma put both elbows above the table and leaned against them. Wincing as he put the weight on two particularly messed up parts.
"How's your arm Ryo?" Yuhei's face took up half the screen. He was truly concerned.
"It's mending." He still hadn't taken his medicine, he'll do it when he gets his coffee.
"You should have been more careful Ryoma." Tamaki spoke sternly.
"Yeah well it was either that or let Sia get hit by a car." All twenty eight people huddled around outside the door trying to listen to the conversation, they wanted to know more on how he broke his arm. They wanted to know who this Sia guy was.
"And what do you know about being careful, your the roughest." (10) ~_~ Ryoma looked at Yusei, as he unsheathed a knife from his ankle.
"You don't mean that Ryoma. You know I am a very gentle person."(11) He spoke so matter of factly that people wondered just how much 'experience' the young man has.
"Depends on how forceful..." (12) Ryoma trailed off as Sia burst into the room. Every one who could see him noticed his smile. While the people outside the door listened flabbersated that Ryoma liked s&m.
"You don't have to answer Tama-chan, Ryo-Ry." (13) She bounced into the room and Ryoma actually found a reason to open his eyes further than a slit.
"How come you look more awake when she's here?" Ryoma shrugged and grunted noncommitedly. Fuji's eyes opened at the proclamation. Sei and Kei placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Sia! Hey, how've you been?" Ryoma smiled as he spoke a light crinkle around the edges of his eyes.
"Really bored." ~_~
"I'm sorry?"o.O
"It's not your fault Ryoma." ~_~ She glared at the three captains beside her who started shrinking away. She was angry that they forced her best friend away.
"But I think we should make a visit down there, for all we know some horny teenagers are trying to steal our Ryo- chan!" (14) O.O She yelled, as her three companions agreed with her.
"Calm down Sia, You know that I'm not easily impressed by people's skills. Though there are five incredibly hot guys here, one in particular is incredibly smexy."(15) He rose his eyebrow to emphasize his point. Only Sia knew that he held a certain attraction for his five charges.
"Is that so? Do you think you can handle them?" She spoke conspiratorily as the other three tried to back out of the room.
"I'm not sure yet. I'll talk to you later. I'm to sleepy for this." He knew that those five were right outside his bedroom.
"O.k. Bye." She nodded quickly in understanding and disconnected while Ryoma ran his fingers through his hair.
Everyone moved away from the door and ran down the stairs as they heard him shuffling around. They positioned themselves around the kitchen and living room and sat quietly. Some felt a little guilty for having listened to the conversation.
He was sitting in his boxers, because he couldn't find his clothes. He scratched the back of his head, lost in thought. He wondered what he did with it. Ryoga gave him his pills so he probably has his stuff too.
He face palmed and walked downstairs. His eyes were closed but he still remmembered the layout of the house easily enough. He pulled out his pills and downed four on the spot.
His arm started throbbing as he reached the kitchen. The coffee smelled delightful, his brain was on one- track mode. He went to the coffee pot and stroked his left arm tentatively, wincing slightly. He remained oblivious to the horde of boys gathering around the boxer clad sixteen year old.
They watched as he served his coffee, the blissful smile on his face as the aroma hit his senses. His eyes opening a slit to reveal gorgeous molten gold.
They watched entranced by the golden tones of his body. They wondered where he had lived that he had gotten such a rich tan. His hair was in a bed raggled state, emphasizing the cool green undertones. His muscles rippled as he moved, his pecs were strong and his washboard abs were pleasing to all eyes.
Syuu and Sei watched unashamed, Keigo watched lustfully, while Kuni and Gen watched with a light dash of pink on their cheeks.
Oishi began fretting in his mind, 'He's gonna get sick. He's walking around barefoot, sans clothing.' He bit his nails in an attempt to calm his worries for him.
Eiji found himself wrestling with the need to hug the young man. 'He's so kawaii! Like a Neko-chan. Little chibi-chan. Yup he's Ochibi.' He thought happily.
Momo and Taka rubbed the back of their heads as a goofy smile played around Momo's lips. 'Anyone who could cook like that was a best friend in his eyes.'
Kaido moved further from Inui, as he whipped out his ever trusty notebook. If Ryoma had seen it, he probably would've started singing 'Blues Clues'.
Everyone else seemed to be under the impression that the young man was up for grabs.
Ryoma felt groggy but somewhat giddy.
They all watched as he paused mid drink and tilted his head to the side in thought.
Everyone had an almost painful sense of foreboding. They watched as he put the cup down.
Ryoma was otherwise oblivious to the amount of people watching him. He turned on the radio beside the kitchen window and leaned back against the cool counter and listened as a familiar song began to play.
His eyes shot open in recognition and like yesterday he felt a compelling need to sing.
Im not lovin you
The way i wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
His voice froze everyone in the room as he ran his hands through his hair and the trek continued down his chest. All eyes following the mischievious hand.
So u never know never never know
Never know enough til its over love
Til we lose control, system overload
Screamin no no no no no
He began to tap his hands on the counter in sync with the music. He danced around the kitchen, his feet moving with every word. He seemed to be perfect at everything.
Ryoga was tempted to let him know that others were present, but he didn't feel like dying today. So instead he made a quick retreat.
Ryoma felt a little...loopy, it was a fact he knew. He just couldn't not sing. It was second nature to him. His mind was on a certain high that made him act out his innermost inhibitions.
As Ryoga passed by the regulars he spoke quietly, "See I told you, pain med's make even the most stoic..." He waved his index finger in a small circular motion beside his right temple, while ticking his tongue. "tck, tck you know what I mean." He waggled his eyebrows before running as far away from his brother as possible.
I'm not lovin you
Way I wanted to
See I wanna move
But cant escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else dont have to know
Syuu and Sei watched bemusedly as he sunk low to the ground with both hands out, and shifted his weight from his right to his left.
So keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
Keepin your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown
Your love lockdown
Now keep your love lockdown
You lose
He jumped on the counter and strut up and down the counter top. Only then did everyone realize his eyes were closed. Was he sleeping? Kunimitsu was tempted to go shake the boy, but Gen beat him to the punch. He walked to the counter and Syuu gripped his arm pulling him back. "What are you doing? He's asleep."
"I don't think so." Sei walked up behind them and spoke quietly into Gen's ear making the usually sensible man unaware of reason.
"Cause he's not." All eyes turned to Kirihara as he walked up to a butler and spoke in his ear quietly and eturning upstairs.
I'm not lovin you
The way I wanted to
I cant keep my cool
So I keep it true
I got something to lose
So I gotta move
I cant keep myself and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when im on my own
Somewhere far from home,
In the danger zone,
How many times did I take for it finally got through,
You lose, you lose
"Oh, better song." They almost chuckled as Ryoma clapped his hands excitedly and began singing a different song. He looked adorable as he clicked the radio shut and put his hand on his chin trying to remember the lyrics.
Snap your fingers
Do the step
You can do it all by yourself
He rotated his hips. Snapping his fingers to the song. He moved around the kitchen floor. His feet weaving intricately.
Baby girl
Whats your name?
Let me talk to you.
Let me buy you a drink.
I'm T-pain you know me
Konvict music
Have every boy
Whoo wee
I know the club
close at three
whats the chance of you
rolling with me
Back to the crib
Show you how I live
Lets get drunk
and forget what we did.
Most couldn't understand what he was singing, but the ones who could were silently questioning his living habits, before his return. If the song held any bearance on his life beforehand. Seeing as he had been gone a long time.
Syuu rather liked the wild side of Ryoma, it made his life more...thrilling.
Sei loved his voice it was relaxing and...sensual.( A/n- heh; couldn't resist. XP)
Imma buy you a drink.
Ohhh weee!
Then Imma take you home with me
I got money in the bank
Shawty watchu think bout that
find me in the grey caddillac
we in the bed like.
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
We in the bed like
ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Talk to me, I tal-
"Ryoma-sama?" Ryoma froze.
Everyone listened intently as he swallowed hard. He slowly turned around. His face was slightly flushed. He glanced around himself with half-lidded eyes. He took in the looks of over 25 very embarrased, blushing guys and chuckled.
"If I knew this many people were watching me, I should've charged you." He spoke nonchalantly and shrugged off the jaw drops at his statement as he looked at his butler.
"Yes." He rose an eyebrow at the tall man.
"Akaya- kun is waiting for you." Kei seethed, Kuni's glasses cracked, Gen's grit his teeth, Sei's nostrils flared, and Syuu's aura knocked out any person within a twenty foot radius of his body. So unfortunately for Eiji, he will be enjoying the birds in his mind for quite some time.
"Great." He passed the five frozen in the kitchen. He patted Syuu on the chest as he passed.
"I'm not that oblivious." He smirked. Sei grabbed Ryoma's hand as he tried to walk away.
"Are you saying you knew we were watching you?" He turned around with an amused smile, while his eyes screamed mischief.
"If your suggesting I strip tease for fun, then I blame my antics on the pills." He chuckled as Sei released him. He began walking away.
"For everything else it's a secret." His nose scrunched up cutely as he spoke. With an everlasting smirk.
They all watched as Ryoma dissappeared into Kirihara's bedroom. It was awkward to say the least but five in particular found him to be something...different. They just couldn't place what it was. Two were confused by their feelings, two seemed to understand, and the fifth was already in love with the boy.
"Saa he's interesting isn't he?"
"Aa." The other four chorused as they walked out of the kitchen. Never once did anyone notice the parents of said child watching the every movement of their beloved son.
Nanjiroh sobbed in the corner of the dimly lit porch. "No grandchildren." He sniffled as Rinko slapped her husband.
"Really Nanjiroh, there's always Ryoga."
"He's with that Kevin boy, I made the mistake of walking past them kissing yesterday when I went to change. It was so scary." He shuddered and looked at his wife; sure enough her fangirl was showing. She had little sparkles over her eyes as a light shriek escaped her lips, at whatever fantasy she saw.
A/N- The conversation... Everything they say has double meanings the one above and the one depicted below. Enjoy
(1)- We miss you.- Should we send backup?
(2)- Cause without me you would actually have to use your hands.- I'm more than capable to handle the situation without the use of force.
(3)- It's not the same without you.- Are you positive?
(4)- I'd imagine it wouldn't be. You'd actually have to do things yourself.- No, My capabilities in shielding them are limited by the knowledge they have of me.
"Where's the other three?"
"Right here Ryoma."
"What about Sia?"
(5)- Oh she left, she didn't see the purpose of being in a conversation where she couldn't touch her Ryo- chan.- She decided to train so when the time comes she could assist you.
"Is that so?"
(6)- Aa, I miss my Ryo- chan too- I'll be your backup when the time comes also.
"Yeah me too."
(7)- It's like were not whole without you.- They are new recruits aren't listneing to us.
(8)- Yeah we miss our uke. - We miss our captain
(9)- I am not calling any of you guys my seme over the internet. It just screams for internet hazing.- Do not call me captain. We don't know who is listening in on our conversations. Just tell them I will do something scary as hell to them.
"How's your arm Ryo?"
"It's mending."
"You should have been more careful Ryoma."
"Yeah well it was either that or let Sia get hit by a car."
(10)- And what do you know about being careful, your the roughest.- As for being careful. You mess up all the time on missions, unlike me.
(11)- You don't mean that Ryoma. You know I am a very gentle person.- Not true, I do not mess up missions. Right?
(12)- Depends on how forceful...- (His thought was broken off as Sia came in)- depends on whether you have to use your hands or a gun.
(13)- You don't have to answer Tama-chan, Ryo-Ry.- Don't indulge the idiot.
"How come you look more awake when she's here?"
"Sia! Hey, how've you been?"
"Really bored." ~_~
"I'm sorry?"o.O
"It's not your fault Ryoma."
(14)- But I think we should make a visit down there, for all we know some horny teenagers are trying to steal our Ryo- chan.- We don't know how many assasins they've recruited. We should stop by.
(15)- Calm down Sia, You know that I'm not easily impressed by people's skills. Though there are five incredibly hot guys here. One in particular is incredibly smexy.- I can't be taken down easily, and I've already found the five I'm meant to protect.( as for- one in particular is incredibly smexy.- that's not code word, he actually meant that. Therein lies Tama, Yusei, and Yuhei's confusion.)
"Is that so? Do you think you can handle them?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'll talk to you later. I'm to sleepy for this."
"O.k. Bye."
Hope this enlightened you. XD
