Sorry for the wait~ it took a little longer with this chapter since were all preparing for Semester Exams… Bleh… I hate them. Okay so I tried to go back and fix the mistakes that were pointed out and the ones that I saw so now it should be better. PM me if there are any I missed~

Once they were in the bath Ryoma tried to calm down, though it didn't help since he kept unconsciously glancing at Tezuka's body. His well toned muscles, obviously the muscles of a tennis player, and Ryoma couldn't help but watch as the muscles ripple under Tezuka's skin when he moves.

Ryoma tried to look at Tezuka washed his hair, but Tezuka had put a towel over himself, hiding Ryoma's view. Although Ryoma was still curious. What did his Buchou look like totally naked? The only people Ryoma had ever seen naked were his ouyaji and onii-san. They both looked totally different though. His ouyaji's was long and kind of skinny, while his onii-san's was short and thick. Ryoma's however was neither. His wasn't long, nor was it short, it was in the middle. So he was curious at what his Buchou's looked like.

Mentally scolding himself Ryoma decided that it was getting dangerous and quickened his pace. If he was lucky he would finish before Tezuka got out so that he would calm down, and hopefully put is own medicine on before Tezuka did. Ryoma didn't notice when Tezuka had gotten in the bath with him, so when he opened his eye's Tezuka was sitting opposite of him, water running gown his face, and his glasses had been sat to the side, revealing his dark eye's that Ryoma could easily get lost in.

Ryoma shuddered, quickened his pace even more, bordering the line of being sloppy, and got out. When he jumped out he asked "Buchou, where are the towels?" Tezuka looked at him, making Ryoma become self-conscious, and he tried to hide his bruised body. "In the cabinet right there on the second shelf." he said, and continued washing his body.

Ryoma got a towel and dried off being careful around the bruises and cuts. Being preoccupied with that, he didn't notice, once again, that Tezuka too had gotten out and was standing next to him, drying off. The next thing he knew Tezuka was lightly brushing a finder across his bruises, Ryoma stepped away, not sure of what to make of Tezuka touching the marks that Ryoga had made.

Ryoma could feel Tezuka's eye's on him as he started dressing, trying to make sure he covered the bruised parts of his body first. Ryoma didn't want Tezuka to see the marks that his brother had left. Once Ryoma put a long shirt on, and went to get his medicine but it wasn't there on the counter where he had left it. It was in Tezuka's hands, and he was already opening it, and said "lets apply the medicine now so we don't have to later."

Ryoma nodded reluctantly and bent over the counter, clenching his mouth shut, just in case, but it turned out there was no need. Tezuka had not went as deep as the night before, not getting close to the spots that felt good. Oddly, Ryoma was slightly disappointed, he starting to thing that the night before was his imagination, although he knew it wasn't.

Tezuka pulled out of Ryoma, he had made sure that he didn't lose control as he did the night before. Tezuka put Ryoma's medicine back in the bag he had gotten it from, he knew Ryoma was embarrassed but Tezuka's possessive side had unconsciously come out. He didn't want Ryoma to forget what had happened the night before, so he make a resolution to keep applying the medicine until Ryoma was all healed and there were no traces of Ryoga.

Ryoma finished putting his clothes on and dried his hair, then waited for Tezuka to finish what he was doing. Ryoma waited silently, watching Tezuka get his things from around the bathroom and when he was done they went back to Tezuka's room and put there stuff up. Ryoma put his clothes in a bag and Tezuka in a clothes hamper.

When it was time for dinner they went down the stairs to go to the kitchen since dinner was done. You could smell it throughout the whole house making Ryoma's stomach rumble, which in turn, made him blush. Tezuka did not comment though. He had guessed that Ryoma hadn't eaten, but he liked it when Ryoma blushed. It was cute in Tezuka's opinion, which was a thought he usually scolded himself for but he was slipping lately, he was allowing the thoughts to continue as he watched Ryoma.

Ryoma reached up, in an automatic response, trying to grab his hat to pull over his face but it wasn't there. He remembered it was still at his house, along with his neko, Karupin… "Ne Buchou, I need to go to my house tomorrow-" before Ryoma could finish, Tezuka grabbed Ryoma and said "you can't. I won't allow it." Ryoma argued, saying "Karupin is there alone. Ryoga will not feed him, and he's an inside neko!" Tezuka was quiet, then "we will talk after dinner." and that was that. It was an order, there was no arguing back at the moment.

When they were in the kitchen it was a little loud, Natsume, and Mizuno, were talking ninety miles per hour to each other and to Ryoma. Tezuka ignored them, and Tezuka's Okaa-san and Otou-san were holding a rather quiet conversation with Tezuka's Ojii-san. Despite the fact it was taking forever to finish eating, Ryoma was having fun! Back home they would just eat and go about their ways, his Ouyaji would go back to his porn, his mom would go back yelling and threatening to burn the magazines, and Nanako would go finish her college homework in her room, while Ryoga would skip out to go eat with his girlfriend, or go by her work.

That was a normal day in the Echizen household. It was a nice change of pace. Ryoma wasn't smiling most of the time, but it was neutral at the question's that were asked. Ryoma was making sure not to let on, on what had happened lately but then Natsume asked "Ne, Ryoma-chan, do you have someone you like?" that made Ryoma's face grow red, he tried to answer calmly but he started stuttering and said "u-um… I.. uh…" he couldn't make his mind up on whether to tell the truth or not so all he just told the truth "h-hai.. I do…"

Ryoma looked down, not sure where to look, then he stole a glance at Tezuka-Buchou who was looking away. Ryoma didn't know what to think of that. He was a little disappointed that he didn't see what Tezuka-Buchou's expression was when he heard that. Ryoma then finished eating, along with everyone else.

When everyone was finished eating they all piled into the living room, it seemed like a regular occurrence too, since it all had happened automatically. Ryoma followed when Tezuka motioned for him to come with him, and instead of going to the living room they went to Tezuka's room as Tezuka said "we'll be going to my room." to his family.

When they were safely in Tezuka's room, Tezuka sat down, "so," Tezuka started "tomorrow you want to go to your house to get your neko, right?" Ryoma nodded, he wanted his cat to be safe, so he needed to call in a few favors from a few friends. Although he didn't know who to call.

Tezuka looked at him, the cat couldn't stay at his house so Ryoma would have to ask someone else, since his Ojii-san was allergic to neko fur. "where would the neko stay? He can't stay here. Ojii-san is allergic to them." Ryoma nodded, and said "I'm going to ask a few people tomorrow."

Tezuka agreed, though unwilling as it was, he made Ryoma promise that he wouldn't go alone and he would wait for him to go with him. Tezuka wanted someone to go with them, so that that person could get Ryoga out of the house till they get everything they need.

Ryoma started to think of people who he might be able to keep Karupin at. Momo-Senpai, Kaido-Senpai, Kawamura-Senpai, Kikumaru-Senpai, Oishi-Senpai, Inui-Senpai… Ryoma quickly disregarded that thought, he was afraid that Karupin would end up drinking Inui-Senpai's weird drinks, and end up very sick. After running a few more names through his head, Ryoma decided that it was about time for bed, and by the looks of Tezuka walking around getting his stuff together, he did too.

That night, Ryoma went to bed, reassured that Karupin would be safe, but once again, his dreams had a mind all to itself, fixed on one subject, and one subject alone.

Ryoma was on the bed, gasping for breath, as Tezuka watched from the other side of the room. Tezuka's eye's boring into him, making his become more self-conscious than he already was. Just when Ryoma was about to come Tezuka walked over, grabbing Ryoma's member at the base, stopping him from spilling his seed's and he said "Don't come yet. I haven't even done anything yet…" there was a lustful expression coming over his face, making his eye's look glazed" Suck me." he commanded. Ryoma obliged, although slightly wary, coming closer to Tezuka and taking Tezuka's stiff member into his mouth. While Ryoma concentrated on getting Tezuka to come, though it was taking too long, making Ryoma's head spin from the pain his stiff member was giving him. It was pulsing erratically, screaming that it was ready to be released, but it wasn't happening. Tezuka would not let him come alone.

While Ryoma was concentrating on quickly making Tezuka come, Tezuka decided to attempt to loosen Ryoma. Tezuka reached over to his desk and opened the drawer, reveling a little bottle of lube. He squeezed some onto his finger and inserted one into Ryoma.

Ryoma gasped in surprise, and ended up making Tezuka go deeper inside, Tezuka moaned, and Ryoma figured out that that was how he was going to make him come. As he continued to deep throat him, Tezuka's breathes became short and deep, and he grabbed Ryoma's hair, pulling him closer and making his hardened member go even deeper.

Tezuka couldn't hold out any longer, and came deep into Ryoma's throat, and released Ryoma, letting him come too…..

Waking up, Ryoma couldn't believe he did it again. This was the second night in a row too, making it that much more embarrassing. So, once again, he got up and got a clean pair of clothes, making sure not to wake Tezuka up, and went to the bathroom to change.

It seems as though I'm making a new schedule, waking up at five thirty in the morning and get ready for school, Ryoma thought as he walked down the stairs, and noticed once again that the sliding door was open, and Tezuka's Ojii-san was watering the plants. Weird old man. Waking up earlier than five thirty to water plants, Ryoma thought, but he was kind of happy. He didn't want to be up so early in the morning with nothing to do, so he walked out into the yard to join the Ojii-san.

"Do you always et up so early?" Ryoma asked as he came closer to the Ojii-san, "Hai. I find it helps clear the mind of any bad dreams or memories that I don't feel like bothering with, or it helps me think at times as well. It's become a habit now, really, not a necessity. Do you want to try? It really does help." Ryoma wasn't sure whether it was going to work or not.

He wanted to try though, and maybe trey to figure out why he kept having the same dream after what happened so he agreed and started helping in the garden, and started thinking. It didn't make sense. You weren't supposed to have sexual dreams about the person you like after being raped by your brother. You were supposed to have nightmares, although Ryoma was glad he didn't have to relive it, even in a dream.

When they were nearly done, Tezuka's Okaa-san came, surprised to see Ryoma helping In the garden and said "Otou-san, you shouldn't ask a guest to help tend the garden…" but Tezuka's Ojii-san disagreed and said "its okay, he wanted to help. Plus he seemed bored waking up so early." for few minutes they talked, but Tezuka's Okaa-san finally let it go and said "breakfast will begin soon, so get washed up."

They agreed and finished up with the garden for the morning, and then went to wash their hands for breakfast, then Tezuka Ojii-san went to the living room, and Ryoma went to Tezuka's room to see if he was awake. He wasn't, so Ryoma made his way toward Tezuka's bed and bent down, studying his face, but before he could beck up, Tezuka opened his eye's and grabbed Ryoma, dragging him to bed.

Ryoma gasped, not sure what to do. The next thing he knew was being trapped beneath Tezuka and a bleary eyed Tezuka was looking into his eye's. Ryoma stopped breathing, too shocked to move, then Tezuka moved, closing the distance between them, and crushing their lips together, making Ryoma gars in surprise. Tezuka took advantage of that, and started twirling their tongue's together "Ryoma.." Tezuka whispered. Ryoma, being pulled along, was at a loss. His mind was going haywire, not sure what to do, but before he could do anything Tezuka got up, and pulled away, a sting of saliva still connecting them, and he fell back asleep…

For a moment, Ryoma laid there, not sure what in the world to do. He could feel his face burning red and pink from the kiss, and now that he was sorting his thoughts he felt that his pants were far too tight, so he slowly got up and walked out of the room, making a beeline for the bathroom.

Ryoma quickly went in, and went to the toilet to relieve himself. Unzipping his pants, he pulled it out, and started moving… gasping, he went quickly and he whispered "Buchou…" a few times before finally coming…

Once Ryoma cleaned himself up, he walked out of the bathroom and walked right into Tezuka… he looked up to Tezuka, blushing a color more red than an apple. Tezuka looked at him and said "Echizen, are you okay? Your face is red…" Ryoma, after carefully checking his voice said, "ah… its nothing. I was helping Tezuka Ojii-san in the garden."

Tezuka seemed mildly surprised by that but didn't comment, and continued into the bathroom, leaving Ryoma to sort out his face. While Tezuka was in the bathroom, Ryoma went downstairs and into the kitchen. "Minasan, ohayōgozaimasu.(1)" Ryoma said with a polite bow, but when he did this Tezuka's sister and cousin seemed to like making fun of him, so Ryoma decided that he would from then on avoid doing it with them in the room.

When Tezuka joined everyone they sat down to eat, then headed off to school, since morning practice was starting soon, so they set off for school.

While they were walking Ryoma's mind wandered and he couldn't look Tezuka straight in the face without blushing, 'could Tezuka have the same feelings? No, no that would be impossible. I'm a boy…' with a sigh, he let the thought drop. It was impossible for Tezuka to like him. No one liked him, other than for his tennis, but Ryoma couldn't help but feel a little bit hopeful at the thought of Tezuka calling his name while kissing him…

When they got to school, Ryoma and Tezuka went to the changing room's and ended up getting there far sooner than anyone else, since practice didn't start until seven, so Ryoma quickly changed before there was a chance of anyone coming.

When he was finished, he got his tennis bag and got his racket out, then went to the courts, and just in time too, since everyone started showing up at once. They seemed surprised to see Ryoma back already from being sick. In fact Ryoma wasn't even sure he wanted to be back, since his lower back still hurt, and the bruises weren't faded yet, but since he didn't want anyone to be too suspicious he decided to continue practicing regardless of what happened.

"Ochibi~! Are you okay? What took you so long! Its been boring without you, Nya~!" Kikumaru wined, glomping onto Ryoma, nearly making Ryoma fall over from the sudden weight. "Gomen, Kikumaru-Senpai. I fell asleep with my stomach showing so I got a little cold." Ryoma lied, then "I went to the doctor and got checked out and they gave me a shot so I'm okay now." Ryoma said, telling almost the whole truth.

In fact he was still hurt both mentally and physically, but it would heal, even the fact that he was terrified of Ryoga would eventually heal. He just didn't know how long it would take.

"Minna, get ready for practice. It is starting soon." Tezuka said from behind them, making everyone go change. Ryoma waited for everyone to come back out but while he was waiting Tezuka came over and said "Are you okay? Its not good to rush back into practice when your not healed." he spoke from experience but Ryoma disagreed, looked away, and said "Its okay, Buchou. I'm not that hurt, so it shouldn't affect me during practice."

Tezuka was about to argue back but as soon as he opened his mouth, the Tennis club locker room door opened, and all seven Regulars and every Non-Regular stormed out at once, not giving Tezuka the chance.

Then practice started, and they all went into pairs to start practicing. Ryoma paired with Arai since it was a day that Non-Regulars could challenge Regulars to get better. Seven Non-Regulars wanted to play him, and none were all that good, so it didn't affect him to a point that it affected his Tennis, but there was one Regular that did want to play him. It was Fuji-Senpai… and it would definitely affect him.

12 school days left WhootWhoot! Hope you enjoyed it!

(1) Good Morning, Everyone.
