Ages same as in Manga/Anime

"Why do I have to do this?" Haruichi asked, his face red.
"Because all our managers are busy and Chris is sick," Miyuki said with a grin, shoving the package into Haruichi's arms. The other regulars were scattered around the room, grinning and making sure he couldn't escape.
"Besides," Kuramochi said, trying not to laugh, "You're the only one who could pull it off."
"But-"
"Don't complain," Ryousuke cut him off, "I was voted to go with you, so you won't be the only one."
"But-"
"Come on," Ryousuke said, grabbing Haruichi around the waist and throwing him over his shoulder. Haruichi yelped and struggled, trying to get out of Ryousuke's grasp. It was useless as all the training had made Ryousuke strong.
Kuramochi couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed as the two left the room, causing Haruichi's face to turn a darker shade of red.
"I feel bad for Harucchi," Eijun said after a minute. "We kind of forced this on him."
"He'll get over it," Miyuki said with an easy smile. "Besides, Ryou-san is doing it too."
"But still…" Masuko put a hand on Eijun's shoulder and nodded at him, silently telling him it would be fine.
"Yeah," Kuramochi said, slapping Eijun so hard he fell over, "It'll be perfectly fine. They're just going for a little spying, and with those disguises, nobody'll recognize 'em."
"I still feel bad," Eijun muttered, causing others to roll their eyes or sigh. A few minutes passed with small chatter before a muffled scream was heard next door where the brothers had gone to change. Everyone jolted and piled out the door, heading to see what the scream was about.
Just before Eijun could touch the knob, Miyuki stopped him. He slapped his hand over Eijun's mouth before the younger teen could yell at him. "S-STOP!" Haruichi's voice drifted through the door.
There was a thud of some sort inside the room and laughter from Ryousuke. They couldn't make out what he said, but after there was a sound like someone throwing something and more thuds.
The know to the door jiggled a bit before something slammed into the door. "Where are you going?" Ryousuke asked, his voice right next to the door.
"L-Let go!" Haruichi said.
"Do I have to tie you down and help you change?" Ryousuke asked with a chuckle.
"N-No!"
"Then-"Ryousuke's voice became muffled again as he moved away from the door. It was silent for a while before Haruichi's shouts started up again.
"N-No! O-Onii-chan! I CAN-STOP! NOT-NOT THE-NO! I CAN DO-NO!" Some of the third years started to feel a little bad for the first year.
It was quiet for a while longer before the doorknob jiggled again and the door opened. Miyuki got up off Eijun and stepped away from the door. Eijun scrambled back as Ryousuke came out the door. The shortest third year smiled at the gathered regulars.
He was dressed in a simple, knee-length, black skirt and a white blouse. He had on white ankle socks and black shoes. His hair was up in a black wig that hung down to the middle of his back. A white headband was in the wig.
Jun's hand covered his nose and mouth and he turned away, trying to hide the blush that was creeping up his cheeks. Ryousuke chuckled and stepped aside, tugging Haruichi forward.
Haruichi was wearing a white sundress that barely fell to mid-thigh and white sandals. He wasn't wearing a wig, but a white headband was holding back his bangs so they weren't hanging in front of his eyes anymore. He hand one hand in Ryousuke's and the other was rubbing the tears from one of his eyes.
He flushed at all the gazed and let go of Ryousuke's hand, hiding behind his brother, clutching onto the back of the blouse instead. "We'll be going now," Ryousuke said with a smile, gliding past the frozen regulars and pulling Haruichi behind him.
The two received many stares as they passed. Haruichi kept pressed against Ryousuke, trying unsuccessfully to hide and unknowingly making himself look cuter and gaining more stares.
Ryousuke put an arm around Haruichi and glared at all the guys ogling at them. Some backed off but many smirked, thinking he was flirting. He kept all those who would try and jump them at bay with the bat in his free hand. He figured something like this would happen, so he made sure to grab one before he left.
/Back with the rest of the regulars/
The regulars shuffled into the room they'd been in earlier. They were silent for a while before Kuramochi chuckled nervously, face still a little red. "I didn't think they'd look so cute," He admitted, one hand rubbing the back of his head.
"I had two boys' uniforms to the school their spying on ready," Miyuki said, holding up two different packages.
"Then why did you make them wear…that!" Eijun asked, glaring at the second year.
"I thought it'd be funny," Miyuki admitted with a wide smile. "I was going to let them change before they left and after I got pictures," He held up a camera that had been in his pocket, "But they left before I could tell them."
It was quiet until Tetsu asked, "You got pictures?"
Miyuki grinned and his glasses flashed. "Wanna see?" For a second, nobody moved before they all piled around Miyuki to see the pictures.
"Senpai," Furuya said, gaining everyone attention after a few pictures. "Isn't the school they're going to an all-boys school?"
You could hear a pin drop in the silence that descended before they all slowly turned back to the camera where a picture of the brothers in girls' clothes was up before they all ran at top speed after the two.
/Back with Ryousuke and Haruichi/
"This is it," Ryousuke said, looking from the paper in Haruichi's hands back to the gate of the school. "Ready?" He asked, looking down at Haruichi. Said teen pressed closer to his older brother and nodded before the two entered the school.
Once the two stepping through the gates, all eyes were on them. Ryousuke put a hand on Haruichi's head when the younger teen started shaking and looked around. "Excuse me," He said, speaking in a slightly higher pitch, "But can you please tell us where we can find the baseball fields?"
All at once, every person around pointed in one direction. As scared and nervous as he was, Haruichi giggled at that, turning and burying his face in Ryousuke's shoulder as he did. Ryousuke smiled and thanked everyone, leading his giggling brother in the direction they'd pointed.
"See," Ryousuke whispered as they walked, "It's not as bad as you thought I'd be." Haruichi looked up at his brother and smiled a little bit. Ryousuke took a photo before Haruichi realized what he was doing.
Before Haruichi could yell at his brother for taking a picture of him, a new voice cut in and asked, "Is there something we can help you with?"
The two brothers looked up and found a brown haired teen, dressed in a baseball uniform standing in front of them. "We were just hoping we could watch your practice," Ryousuke said with a smile, "My little sister and I love baseball, but our school is all girls and doesn't have a baseball team."
When the teens gaze turned to Haruichi, he flushed and hid behind Ryousuke, peeking out to nod, confirming what his older brother had said. The teen blushed a bright red at the adorable pink haired girl before him and her older sister before swallowing, his mouth suddenly dry.
"W-Well," He stammered, "I guess…if you don't mind I mean…I…I could…show you around…maybe?" He phrased the question to Ryousuke but his eyes kept glancing back at Haruichi, something Ryousuke noticed but Haruichi didn't as he was too busy hiding.
Ryousuke smiled and nodded. "We'd be very grateful to you if you would." Ryousuke turned to Haruichi and said, "See, they're not that scary." He turned back to the teen and said, "Chi-Chan was terrified by the thought of coming here. She's not used to boys like I am." He winked at the teen in front of him, causing the blush to get darker.
"I…I can assure you that…that nobody will harm either of you." He jolted a bit and suddenly bowed. "I-I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sashimi Jiro. I'm a regular and captain on the baseball team here."
'Perfect,' Ryousuke thought as he smiled at Jiro. "My name is Nishira Ryoka, and this is my little sister, Hana. It's nice to meet you Sashimi-san." Ryousuke pulled Haruichi in front of him and put his arms around the younger teen, keeping him there. "Come on Chi-Chan. I promise he won't bite."
Haruichi blushed and fiddled with the hem of the dress, fidgeting under Jiro's stare. "N-Nice to meet you," He said softly, glancing up at the teen before turning his gaze back to the ground.
"I-If…If you'd follow me," Jiro said, quickly turning away from the two and trying to casually use his glove to cover his privates, "I-I'll show you where," He cleared his throat a bit as he started walking, "I'll show you where the regulars practice."
He led them to the baseball diamond where nineteen other teens were practicing their fielding. Ryousuke held up the camera and snapped a few pictures before turning to Jiro. "Thank you for showing up the way," He said. "You should probably go take care of that," He glanced down at the glove and back up to Jiro's face that could rival a tomato.
Jiro didn't bother to say anything as he turned and walked as fast as he could to one of the buildings. Ryousuke chuckled as Jiro left and continued taking pictures. Haruichi stood close to Ryousuke and started recording the practice.
"I'm going to go get some from another angle," Ryousuke said softly. "You stay here and keep filming." Haruichi jerked his head up toward his brother, fear in his eyes. "You'll be fine," Ryousuke said before Haruichi could protest. He pointed to the other side of the baseball diamond. "I'll be right there. This way we can get pictures from every angle." 'And I can get pictures of you without you clinging to me.' He thought to himself.
He patted Haruichi's head, careful not to mess up his headband before he headed to the other side of the field. Haruichi fidgeted as he recorded, not liking being alone. He could feel the stares from behind him, but every time he looked back, everyone was turned around. He frowned to himself, turning back to the practice.
Ryousuke chuckled as he watched his brother, taking pictures of the pout that Haruichi probably thought was a frown. He was taking advantage of having his little brother dressed like this, knowing he could sell some of the pictures for a lot of money and keep the others for blackmail and teasing. Not to mention his parents would very much enjoy seeing these pictures.
He hummed to himself as he remembered how his mother had been so disappointed when Haruichi, who was supposed to be born a girl, turned out to be a boy. They'd already bought a bunch of dresses and skirts for their baby girl, and instead of returning them, their mother had simply made Haruichi wear them. 'Dad told me that she denied Haruichi was a boy for the first five years of his life.'
Ryousuke lifted the camera again and focused on Haruichi, but frowned when he found another baseball player next to his little brother. Before he could go over and help though, a voice behind him said, "I hope you're finding this enjoyable." He turned and found a teen with shaggy black hair standing behind him.
"May I help you?" He asked, forcing a smile back onto his face.
"My name is Muna Shige," The teen said with a bow. "Captain told me to come and make sure you were enjoying your time."
Ryousuke nodded. "I'm enjoying myself very much," He said while thinking, 'And getting all the information I need.'
"I'm happy to hear that."
Ryousuke turned back toward his brother and asked, "Who is that with Chi-Chan? My sister isn't very comfortable around guys, so I'm afraid she may get scared."
"That is Yosano Hiru," Shige said. "I can assure you that he won't do anything to scare your sister. He's the gentlest person on the team, which is why captain asked him to check on her." Ryousuke frowned but figured Haruichi would be fine and he could keep an eye on him without interfering for the moment.
Haruichi nearly jumped when a voice from behind him asked, "Are you enjoying yourself?" He whirled around with one hand over his heart as he stared, wide eyed, at the large teen behind him. Said teen backed up, hands in the air. "I did not mean to scare you," He said. "Captain simply asked me to make sure you were enjoying yourself. My name is Yosano Hiru. It's nice to meet you Nishira-san."
"N-Nice to…to meet you," Haruichi said as he tried to calm his rapid heartbeat. He slowly turned back around, bringing the camera back up. Hiru stepped up beside him, making sure to keep his distance.
"Do you know how to play, Nishira-san?" Hiru asked after a few moments of silence.
Haruichi nodded and said softly, "On-Onee-can taught me."
Hiru nodded and said, "Well, shall I tell you about our team?" Haruichi jolted a bit and nodded stiffly, not trusting himself to speak. This was exactly what he and his brother had come for. "I'll start with our captain," He said, nodding to Jiro, who kept throwing glances at the two of them before flushing and looking away.
"Our captain is our short stop and fifth batter. I'm the center fielder and fourth batter. Shige, the one by your sister, is our pitcher and ninth batter. I guess you could say he's the ace of the team. The three of us went to middle school together. When we first came here, the baseball team didn't have a coach and couldn't make it past the second round of the prelims. We were devastated, since the school board wanted to shut down the club, but we begged them to give more time, and they said if we couldn't make it past the prelims then the club would be shut down.
"None of the other members were very good, but they worked hard. Jiro, Shige and I essentially pulled the team through the prelims, only to lose the first game in the actual tournament. The school board kept its promise and we were able to continue with the club. We trained harder than before, drilling the skills needed into the rest of the members. We still only made it past the prelims before losing, but this year, I have a feeling we can go all the way to Koshien.
"Our next opponent will be tough, but we'll give it all we have and make sure there are no regrets." Hiru went quiet before he flushed and looked at the ground. "I'm sorry," He said, "I must have bored you."
"N-No," Haruichi said, "It…It was a very inspiring story. I…I can tell you really care for this team." Haruichi shuffled his feet, knowing he was their next opponent, but he couldn't help himself when he said, "G-Good luck." He flushed when Hiru looked at him in shock. "I-I mean, you put s-so much into this team and…and it would be sad if…if you didn't…well…I hope you h-have fun and…and play your…play your best and…and-"
Haruichi was cut off from rambling when Hiru laughed. "Thank you," He said with a soft smile. "I was getting nervous and discouraged by the upcoming game, since it's my last year, but thanks to you I feel better. I think that even if we lose tomorrow, it won't be as bad so long as I play my best."
Haruichi smiled up at Hiru and turned back to practice…only to find everyone packing up. "It's over already?" He asked, surprised.
Hiru chuckled and Haruichi turned to him. "We end early on Fridays because many people have other arrangements, so we practice harder and longer Saturdays." Haruichi sighed and lowered the camera, a disappointed look on his face since he hadn't gotten as much in way of a video. Hiru frowned at the sad look and said, "You're welcome to come tomorrow, if you want." Haruichi's head snapped up and he stared at Hiru in shock. Hiru smiled. "I can even show you how to bat if you'd like."
"I…I don't know," Haruichi said, looking around for Ryousuke. He stiffened when he felt big hands on his shoulders. He turned and found Hiru right in front of him, staring down at him.
"Please," He whispered. "I'd…I'd like to see you again." He flushed and looked away, taking his hands away and running them through his hair. "I…I've never felt this way before." He seemed to debate about something before he looked resolved and turned back to Haruichi.
"I…I think I like you Nishira-Chan. Please go out with me!" Hiru bowed at the waist, his face completely red. Everyone in the vicinity stopped and gaped at the pair. Haruichi froze and dropped the camera. Ryousuke snapped a picture as he started laughing. Jiro's jaw was on the ground for a few seconds before he fell to his knees, tears coming out of his eyes. Shige chuckled from next to Ryousuke and took his own pictures.
Furuya, who had been hiding with the rest of the Seidou, stalked forward and grabbed one of Haruichi's hands, leading the shell shocked boy away.
"Nishira-Chan!" Hiru called, chasing after the two. He grabbed Haruichi's free hand and tugged him back toward him, stopping Furuya from dragging his first love away. "Please! I…I don't think I can live without you!" He tugged Haruichi closer toward him.
Furuya glared at Hiru and pulled Haruichi closer to him. "Let go," He said.
"You let go," Hiru said, pulling Haruichi back toward him. "Who are you? Nishira-Chan, do you know him?"
Haruichi was still too shocked and confused by what was going on to answer. "She's mine," Furuya said for him, barely remembering to say 'she'.
"Nishira-san said that she was nervous around men," Hiru said, gesturing to Ryousuke who had taken the camera and was now filming the whole thing while Shige had taken his camera and was getting pictures, "So there's no way she's yours. Besides," He added as he pulled Haruichi closer, "She's not an object."
Furuya jerked Haruichi out of Hiru's grip, tilted Haruichi's head up and kissed him before pulling him close and glaring at the shocked Hiru. Everyone around was even more shocked than before, and Jiro fainted.
For a while, nobody moved. Hiru shook with rage and punched Furuya, taking Haruichi away from him, twirling the frozen teen and dipping him, kissing him himself.
"Ah," Ryousuke said, lowering the camera, "She fainted." He gave the camera to Shige who continued filming. "I'm going to take her home. Will you give them," She pointed to the rest of the Seidou regulars who were frozen in shock by the events that had happened, "Before they leave?"
Shige nodded with a chuckle. "May I ask for a copy?" He asked. Ryousuke nodded and took out his phone.
"I'll send it to you later. What's your mail address?" Shige rattled off his number as he continued filming. Ryousuke entered it into his phone and put it away before going and taking Haruichi from Hiru right before Furuya tackled him. The normally passive pitcher had a look of fury on his face as he attacked the bigger and older teen. As the fight continued, Ryousuke carried Haruichi out the gates and back toward Seidou.
By the time everyone snapped out of it enough to stop the fight, the two were back at school. Hiru had a twisted ankle and Furuya had a sprained wrist.
Needless to say, neither were able to play in the next game.
Haruichi avoided Furuya and skipped the game to avoid Hiru.
Ryousuke stayed in contact with Shige and the two became close friends.
Jun got jealous and ranted to Ryousuke about how he was lying to Shige (who had been told early on that Ryousuke was a boy, not that Jun knew that) and how he should stop. Ryousuke kissed him to shut him up.
Jiro was heartbroken and took it out on Hiru through practice once Hiru was healed enough to practice.
The rest of the Seidou regulars agreed to never talk about it again.
/
So Jiro, Shige and Hiru are mine. They WILL be showing up again later.
Sorry about the ending. I couldn't think of how to end it well, so it turned into this.
Let me know what you think!
