Sena had a new spring in his step as he had arrived home to his one bedroom apartment. As he passed through the gateway to his home he almost wanted to pirouette in joy. He tossed his hoody on the hooks next to his door and did the same with his keys. The apartment before him opened into a moderately sized kitchenette complete with a matching black fridge, stove, and dishwasher. There was about a six foot section of granite counter that was interrupted by a single stainless steel sink. One large window was looking out from the kitchen in between the fridge and the counter top over the apartment complex grounds. In the distance one could see Enma University against the horizon.

After getting a drink of limeade from the fridge Sena seemingly have skipped, half jumped into the living room and sprawled out on his simple yet comfortable couch. There was also a small love seat perpendicular to the larger sofa, and they were both a matching dark blue color. In front of them both sat a simple yet sturdy round wooden coffee table that was about four feet in diameter and was covered in football magazines and playbooks. Across from the main couch there was a 42 inch plasma TV that hung on the wall; and although Sena wouldn't openly admit it he had used Hiruma's Hell Card to "acquire" the large entertainment system.

Sena sighed contently as he lay on the couch rubbing his fingers lightly on the beige carpeting that spread everywhere in his apartment save the kitchen and bath. He thought about his rough lips connecting with Suzuna's juicy ones over and over in his mind. His face had stopped being the color of ripened raspberries some time ago but he still felt a warm sensation emanating from his core. He just sat relaxed on his couch for a little letting it soak in. After a while he got up and headed back to a small hallway slightly behind and to the right of his couch. The hall extended for about 8 feet or so with two doors, the one on the left led to a surprisingly large bathroom with a full bath and shower combination and a deep sink along with other necessary porcelain pieces. The other door at the end of the hall led to Sena's bedroom. After using the facilities and taking a quick shower Sena rounded the corner out the bathroom door and proceeded into his room. He flicked on the light switch revealing a large bedroom with a single sized bed with dark blue colored covers. A moderately sized five foot wide desk sat parallel to the bed on the opposite side of the room. His laptop sat on the desk amongst a surprisingly organized stack of football books and other literature he needed for classes. And a small walk in closet held all of his clothes and football equipment comfortably as well.

He looked longingly at the bed for a moment before deciding to take a seat at his desk. He took out his phone and placed it beside his laptop and before he went to open the computer he noticed he had a couple of new text messages. He must not have remembered to check his phone during the date or on his blissful walk home either. After taking up the device in his hand he noticed one of the messages was from Monta and the other was from Dante. Sena couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Oh jeez."

He opened up Monta's text first and it read: "Hey Sena, how did your date with Suzuna go :D? Did you ask her out?" Sena just made a squinty eyed frowning face, not wanting to reply at all to his friend and risk verbal harassment and teasing. Instead he opened up Dante's message next and read it:

"Twinkle Toes! How are ya? Do I need to come to Japan and kick your ass for not asking out that little cutie pie? :D!"

"What's with the smiley faces?" Sena pouted through his still frowning and furrowed face. He sighed before replying to both texts. To Monta he sent: "It went well and yes I did ask her out : ) and she accepted! Thanks for your advice the other day Monta, I really appreciate it!" Sena seemed satisfied with that response and then texted his American teammate:

"No that won't be necessary, I asked her out today in Nagano and she said yes! Thanks for your advice about being confident, it helped!" Sena seemed less satisfied with this response, but only because of how unpredictable he knew his former teammate could be when it came to, well, anything.

He waited for a few moments and wasn't surprised when Monta almost instantaneously replied to his own message.

"MAXI Congrats Sena! Wait till everyone finds out!"

Sena eyes grew as big as saucers in a millisecond and he could have sworn his jaw must have slammed against his desk. He rapidly texted back, "DON'T YOU DARE! You promised me you wouldn't tell anyone!"

Sena anxiously waited for Monta to return his text. The minutes seemed to last hours before his phone started to vibrate. "You're right. Sorry Sena, I won't tell anyone :(. They're just going to find out eventually anyway. But I promise I won't tell anyone. Even though it's MAXI tempting! Either way congrats, I'm going to hit the sack. See you tomorrow in class."

Sena visibly calmed from this but still wasn't sure if he trusted Monta to keep his word. The wide receiver had let other secrets slip before. And Sena blanched for a moment as he considered what might happen if Hiruma was still on their team and had found out about his new girlfriend. The running back quickly put that thought out of mind trying not to think about the grim possibilities. After waiting a few more moments for a reply from Dante he figured the safety must be sleeping and decided to get some Z's himself.

Suzuna leaned back against her front door clutching her chest just above her heart sighing deeply and burning bright red.

"My first kiss…" she thought with an overwhelming mix of pleasant emotions. A mischievous smirk spread across her face as she considered how daring Sena had been. Normally the reclusive football star wouldn't be so bold, but she had to admit she liked it.

She managed to hobble over to her own kitchen and place her keys on the small table next to the fridge. She unceremoniously tossed her incline skates beside the door behind her while she gingerly took a seat at the table to look at her ankle. After carefully sliding off the flip flops that Sena had bought her she assessed the damage. It was definitely swollen but it no longer hurt when touched. The area around her ankle was a dull purple color and it looked like she would have to hobble around for a while until it got better. Perhaps she would skip class tomorrow. She only had one after all, and she didn't think it would be the end of the world if she missed one introduction to health class. Upon the decision to play hooky tomorrow she then managed to get up and hop on one foot to her living room.

Unlike Sena's living room Suzuna only had a single sofa and a bean bag chair sitting around a small three by two foot rectangular glass coffee table. There was however another large 42 inch plasma television courtesy of the Hiruma Hell Card; which, of course, Suzuna was not embarrassed about using.

Instead of plopping down on her own couch she began hopping on her good foot towards her bedroom at the end of her hall way. She passed the bathroom on the left hand side and her small utility room with a washer and drier on the right before entering her surprisingly girly bedroom. The walls were a light pink color and her bed had white sheets with pink lacing. There were a few teddy bears on her bed and a small desk at the foot of it. Her desk also held a laptop and her school books, as well as a number of teen magazines and a stereo too.

She managed to make it over to her bed and she sprawled out on the soft white and pink comforter. The girl pulled one of her teddy bears close to her bosom and let out a big sigh of contentment. A small smile seemed to have been glued to her face since she had parted lips with Sena during her first kiss. The warm flow of blood rushed to her face again as she thought about the smooch her new boyfriend had left her with only a few minutes ago.

"So this is what it's like," she thought sighing in pleasure. She continued to nuzzle her oversized teddy bear, pretending it was Sena when a sudden vibration near her pelvis made her cry out in surprise. She took her phone out of her pocket and looked to see who was calling her. Across the screen the words "Idiot Brother" were typed out and she moaned rolling her eyes. "Oh! What the hell does he want?"

"Hello?" she said masking her annoyance at the idiotic interrupter of her fantasy.

"Aha-ha hello dear sister! How are you doing this fine evening?"

"Good and bad, I hurt my ankle pretty bad today?"

"Oh did you fall on your skates?"

Suzuna suppressed a growl of frustration and answered with her eye twitching, "Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. What do you want?"

"Oh, I was going to ask if you wanted to come cheer for my team this weekend but since you hurt your ankle it's ok Aha-ha!" he laughed before adding, "How was the good part of your day, before you broke your ankle?"

Suzuna paused for a moment, letting her mind drift back to the day's events. She held her breath for a moment before letting out an airy "Amazing. Sena took me to Nagano and we had a lot of fun."

"So he finally asked you out?" The idiot asked without a second thought.

Still daydreaming and without thinking, Suzuna replied with a drawn out and breathy "Yeah."

"Aha-ha congratulations dearest sister! Oh sorry but I have to go now. I will talk to you later ok Aha-ha!" He chipped too quickly before hanging up the phone.

Suzuna immediately snapped out of her daydream stammering and stuttering and turning a bright red of a different kind. Anxiety and fear filled her red face as she tried calling her idiotic sibling back; all the while cursing, "Oh no! Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no! Shit! Shit! Shit!"
