I would kinda freak if my first date was to see Sweeney Todd. I'd be like "wtf..." But I still wanna see L Change the World. L is love. This is where'd I insert a cackle, since I decided what movie the group will go see. You'll just have to wait, but my disclaimer gives it away. I couldn't help but have them dragged to it.
Dedicated: To my loyal fan squishythejellyfish.
Summary: Sequel to Chigiri, Promise. Ryoma returns and the high school life plays out. Pillar Pairing, with side Fujicest.
Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis, nor any characters in this fic. And I do not own the small section at the beginning that you see, it's from a Harry Potter doujin (Yah, HP) called Love Songs by Mitugu Fujii/G-ZERO. I also do not own Doko ni Iku no (Where are we going?). I also don't own Euro Space, which is a movie theater in Shibuya. I also do not own McDonalds or Starbucks. And I don't own any dranks that the group orders there either. They're all good drinks, though, and I'd really love to have a nice Vanilla Frappuccino right now, but I'll settle with vitamin water.
--
If only I could pass these feelings to you too. If I whisper love enough, the future I will live doesn't seem so terrible. I'll say plenty "It's all right" to you. If everything has been thrown away, if you can't survive on your own, "you can rely on me." Because I will become the boy who can make you believe it. And so, I always want to listen to these love songs with you.
Yuuta was just gazing out the window at the lights. The giant screens were illuminating enough light by themselves, but Shibuya was surely a place for the nightlife. Mainly teens and young adults were in their area. His being was adoned in more common clothes, black cargo pants, thin long sleeve white shirt, and red t-shirt pulled over. Fuji was clinging to his arm, adoned in black flare pants that hugged his body tightly, and a thin long sleeved button up white shirt, that seemed a little more dressy than his casual clothes. Fuji was playing with his phone before making a phone call.
"Tezuka, you in Shibuya yet?" It was the sixth time in the last ten minutes that Fuji called them.
"If I tell you yes will you stop calling?" Tezuka sounded annoyed.
"Possibly. We'll meet up at the McDonalds on Bunakmura-dori." Fuji hung up without letting the other voice an opinion. The brothers were already on Bunkamura-dori. "Yuuta, I want to go to Starbucks." The elder was talking about the starbucks that wasn't too far away.
"Aniki, we're going to McDonalds, you decided so." Fuji huffed.
"So mean. We even go past it on our way to the movies." The two hung right outside the McDondalds for the other two to arrive. Soon they were joined by Tezuka and Ryoma. Ryoma wore black shores and a white t-shirt, his trademark Fila cap on his head. Tezuka wore black pants, a white t-shirt, and black vest. Yuuta felt more like their was about to go rob shop or something by their appearances, with everyone wearing something black. "We're all here, yay."
"Let's just go." The group of four went into the fast food chain, ordering and eating. Fuji controlled most of the conversation.
"So why did you choose this McDonalds out of all the ones in Shibuya?" Ryoma paused in eating his hamburger.
"Because it's closest to Starbucks and the movies." Fuji was smiling.
"Did you plan something, Fuji?" The said boy nodded.
"Yes. You two will be joining myself and Yuuta." The two other boys couldn't help but look to Yuuta as he choked on his soda.
"Aniki..." The elder brother simply waved his hand casually.
"It would honestly be awkward for you two to be alone. You need guidance. And I'm the perfect one to do so." Yuuta seemed uninterested in the conversation. There were better places to be, Shibuya offered so much, yet he was being dragged off to see a movie he never wanted to see in the first place.
"Do I even want to know what movie you're having us go see?" Fuji smiled innocently.
"Doko ni Iku no." He gained stares from Yuuta and Ryoma, who spoke in unison.
"Isn't that that love story one of the shop hand and the newhalf?!? Why that one?!?" It was quite clear to Tezuka that Fuji hadn't even let his brother in on all the details.
"I told you that I wanted to see it, Yuuta. And I'm not letting you see any scary movie." Yuuta huffed as he crossed his arms, chewing on the end of his straw.
"And you had to drag us into your plan?" Tezuka raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. All is paid for by me." The elder brother flashed a smirk. Tezuka sighed in defeat, Ryoma and Yuuta had given up before. As they were leaving Yuuta fell back in step to talk to the other two.
"I'm sorry you both got dragged into his plans." His voice was a whisper, Fuji being too caught up in his own world to hear.
"I'm used to it." Tezuka admitted.
"Doesn't matter to me." Yuuta nodded before hearing his name being called.
"Yuuta, starbucks!" Fuji was pointed to the upcoming Starbucks. In a split second, the younger boy was being tugged off into the shop, the other couple just following behind.
"Do you guys want anything?" Fuji asked back to Tezuka and Ryoma. Both looked up.
"Wow, hot chocolate so close to summer?" Ryoma blinked. "Tall Vanilla Frappuccino." Fuji smirked.
"Tezuka?"
"Er, tall Espresso Frappuccino." Fuji approached the counter, still clinging to his brother's arm.
"One tall Espresso Frappuccino, one tall Vanilla frappuccino, one grade white chocolate mocha frappuccino. Yuuta, what do you want?" The lady behind the counter was just blinking at the group before her.
"Er, a tall caramel frappuccino." The lady nodded and registered it all. Somehow Yuuta ended up paying for starbucks, but he didn't mind. Except Fuji's constent words were getting on his nerves, but held his tongue. As soon as they left the shop, Yuuta let it out. "Stop being so embarrassing."
"Fuji-senpai is annoying Yuuta-senpai." The three elder boys stopped and looked to Ryoma.
"Did he actually just say my name?"
"Well, I've been trying hard to remember it since you're my senpai. And you don't like "Fuji's little brother" and Fuji is Fuji-senpai." Ryoma was sipping on his vanilla frappuccino, quite content on going back to blissful silence. The other three were just awestruck that Yuuta was called by name by Ryoma, who, not even a week ago, still referred to the younger Fuji as 'that guy I beat.'
"Saa... This will be good." Their continued their walking. No one really minding it. There was so much to look at, from the people to all the lights. Tezuka and Yuuta made a mental note when they passed by the Ramen Shop. Yuuta noticed that his brother had already finished his drink.
"If you don't actually let it touch your mouth, you'll never know if it's good or not."
"It tastes very good thank you very much." There was a pause in step as Syuusuke leaned up and kissed the younger boy. "And you taste as sweet as your own drink." Yuuta flushed pink and dropped all conversation.
The movie theaters came into view and they entered. The tensai left the trio skip over to get the tickets and returning quickly. "Let's go. Yuuta, will you buy me popcorn?"
"So you can keep it to yourself?"
"I'll be good and share." Yuuta then agreed.
"Do you ever get the feeling that the elder brother takes advantage of the younger brother?" Ryoma whispered to Tezuka as they followed behind the happy Fuji Syuusuke.
"I feel that way all the time, but it goes for anyone near him."
"Do you want anything?" Fuji's words caught their attention.
"Ponta." Ryoma could care less about popcorn or candy, he just wanted his normal juice.
"I'm fine." Fuji dragged Yuuta off to the counter to order. A part of the other couple felt a little bad for Yuuta being dragged around by Fuji, but was quite glad it wasn't them. As soon as Fuji happily got his popcorn and soda, Yuuta handing Ryoma his ponta, the trio headed right off to see their movie.
Some time later, the group exited.
"Remind me to never allow you to choose a movie." Tezuka and Yuuta said at the same time. Ryoma was playing with his empty can of ponta, which he tossed into the recycle bin.
"But it was a good movie."
"I would've taken horror." Yuuta stretched. "Even a foreign film."
"Fuji-senpai has weird taste in movies." Ryoma tugged his cap back on as they moved out into the warm summer air.
"He just likes different things. Really bad things." Yuuta found an arm laced around his waist, attention suddenly going to his brother.
"And you're a bad thing." Syuusuke whispered into his ear.
"You two need a room." Tezuka spoke up.
"There are plenty love hotels in the area. What do you think, Yuuta?" Yuuta went pale as a ghost before pushing his brother away and walking strides ahead.
"Go by yourself, I'm going home." Fuji just laughed.
"Tezuka-bouchou, do you have plans when we arriave back home?" Ryoma and Tezuka had fallen instride together. Had Fuji not started to walk ahead with Yuuta, and had overheard the words, would've pestered the two if they were going to go to a hotel.
"No."
"You wanna come over and hang out?" Ryoma was looking off to the side, part of him was wondering if it was a good idea.
"If it's fine with your parents, if not, you're welcome at my house." Ryoma looked up and nodded.
"Your house sounds better than mine." It was decided and the group caught the train back home and seperated. Yuuta apologising for his brother's horrible choice in movies. The captain and the first year returned to the Tezuka household.
"Tadaima."
"Shitsure shimasu."
"Okaeri." Tezuka's mother seemed to stop at noticing the younger boy. "Oh you brought home a friend." She bowed. "I'm Kuni's mother, pleasure to meet you."
"Ah, Echizen Ryoma. Pleasure to meet you." Ryoma bowed.
"I'll go make tea, do you boys want any snacks?" Tezuka looked to Ryoma who shook his head.
"No thanks."
"I'll bring the tea up to your room. Kuni-chan, why not invite your friend to stay over." Tezuka merely nodded before walking off. Ryoma bowed before following after his senpai. The third year's room was neat, everything had it's place.
"Kuni-chan?" Ryoma had taken to collapsing on Tezuka's bed, the other sitting in the chair at his desk.
"If you start calling me that, you'll be running laps for the rest of the week." Ryoma chuckled.
"Bouchou's kaa-san is interesting." There was a soft knock on the door as the said person entered the room with a tray containing two cups of tea, which she set down on the desk and excused herself, telling Tezuka to make sure to take good care of Ryoma while he was in their house.
"She likes when I bring friends home." Tezuka had pulled a cup of tea into his hands as Ryoma got up to take the other cup. Ryoma looked away as his spoke.
"If it's like this...can I call Bouchou 'Kunimitsu'?" Tezuka paused mid sip, blinking.
"Yes, you can." Ryoma looked back and gave a faint smile.
"Then you must continue to call me Ryoma." Tezuka gave a nod, going back to his tea. "And we're never letting Fuji-senpai pick out another movie."
"Agreed."
"Tuesday is our last day of classes before summer break. On Wednesday, do you want to hang out during the day? Then go to Taka's family's sushi resturant?" Ryoma's attention was grabbed at the end. Just the mentioning of the sushi resturant was enough.
"Sure." Tezuka gave a faint, what could be considered one, smile.
Tezuka got a kick out of his clothing being a size too big on the younger boy, who could care less. He was also content with his sleeping bag, which he didn't really use since it was so warm. The night just seemed to fly by, mainly from the two boys caught between moments of silence and talking, but mainly the former. Ryoma fell asleep before Tezuka did, falling asleep without a word. Kunimitsu fell asleep soon afterwards.
Morning was quite a shock. Tezuka's cellphone going off at six in the morning.
"Mada mada." Ryoma rolled over and tugged the pillow over his head. Tezuka grabbed his phone and answered it.
"Tezuka, don't forget to get the you know what for you know who. I know he's with you, so I can't say anymore." Tezuka was about to snap his phone in two.
"Is that why you called at this time?"
"Yah and-" Fuji was cut off by Tezuka ending the conversation and turning his phone off.
"Fuji-senpai has odd hours." Ryoma muttered half asleep.
"He does." Tezuka knew personally what kind of hours Fuji ran on, and most of the time they were always different. There was no way the other third year was normal. Tezuka was drifting back to sleep when he felt a tug on his sheets. He opened his eyes to notce Ryoma right in front of him.
"Let me join you." The third year found himself blinking a couple times before moving over, Ryoma crawling right under the covers. "Oyasumi (Night)." And Ryoma was right back out like a light. Tezuka just laid there, wondering what exactly just happened. But he couldn't understand and just went back to sleep.
A couple hours passed and Tezuka awoke. His clock read nine, and the light that was shining let him know it was actually morning, not Fuji's six in the morning morning, but real morning. It was then his eyes fixed on Ryoma who had his hand attached to his shirt. Dirty golden orbs were quickly revealed, the smaller boy suddenly shooting up, face red.
"What..."
"Don't ask." Tezuka found himself yawning. "You asked and climbed up." The elder turned on his phone, finding his inbox to be full of text messages and calls, all from a certain blue eyed third year.
And thus their morning was...interesting. Ryoma soon left the comfortable house for home, where he was welcome by his mother and just collapsed in his own bed. Sundays were too boring, and meant he later had to do homework. Boring.

Speaking on sundays and homework, I still have some to finish up. Yah, it's boring. And mondays are dull. I wish I was on break, wait. Today is monday, tuesday when I post this since I need to get going. Ha. Anyway, another chapter down and the real fun can begin. And for those who don't know what love hotels are, they're hotels set up all over the place where it's exactly what it seems. They designed for couples, some even containing hot tubs in them. I take pride in researching things that I put in my fics.
Next Chapter: An upset in the Echizen household? And the surprise party for Ryoma. What will it bring? And what kind of gift will Ryoma get? Wait, Ryoma's missing? Stay tuned.
