Okay yes I know that I suck. I made you wait like a month but I'm kinda lazy, so if you don't send me messages telling me to update, I'll probably end up taking longer than usual.

Finally the continuation of the kiss. Actually the majority of this chapter will probably be back story and what not, but I've been dying to explain how they met and why Fuji fell so deeply in love.

Big thanks to all my faithful reviewers and followers. I know I don't update till about two weeks (more in this case) but I appreciate your loyalty. This is for all the people who can forgive my laziness in writing.

Disclaimer: Nope, this is solely the property of Konomi-sensei. But maybe when SIM and I take over the world I can partially own it.

Chapter 7: How Love Got Started

-Fuji's POV-

Dear kami, this is heaven. I've wanted to do this for so long, ever since I met him. Kami I love him! I can't believe how long I've had to wait.

*Flashback*

"Oi Chibisuke, meet my new friend!" Ryoga yelled up to one of the many orange trees in the field.

"Urusei baka Ryoga-nii!"

"Saa, feisty little kid isn't he? Reminds me of Yuuta." I had been so into my Yuuta based delusion that I had almost missed the small five year old Ryoma walking up to Ryoga after having climbed down the tree. (Since Ryoma's 5, Ryoga and Fuji are 8, and yes I know Ryoga's supposed to be several years older than the regulars but this is my story so he gets to be the same age)

"Che, Ryoga-nii's friend looks feminine." An anger mark had flashed on my angelic face.

"What a big vocabulary you have. Do you always insult guests?"

"Only when I find fault with them."

"Which is all of them." Ryoga, not wanting to be left out, added.

"He, why don't we settle this in a tennis match Ryoga-nii's friend?" Ryoma of course saying that because he already was obsessed with tennis…and because he didn't know my name. And Ryoma being Ryoma, he was too proud to ask for the girly boy's name.

An angry tick mark appeared briefly on my cherubic face at being addressed as 'Ryoga-nii's friend' but it disappeared quickly at the adorable smirk the boy was sporting and the prospect of a game with the cocky brat. Did this boy think he could really beat a tensai like me? Interest sparked, I agreed to a match.

"4 games to 3. Fuji advantage." Ryoma che'd at his brother's announcement. He was about to serve the ball again when the weather decided to be a butthead (Ryoma's words not mine) and start releasing its waters.

"Saa how troublesome but I guess this means we have to postpone our game. How unfortunate." I was turning around but before I could turn completely I saw something that made my 8 year old heart go doki doki.

Ryoma was standing in the same place he had been only this time he had a truly heart warming smile on his face. "Thanks for the match Ryoga-nii's tomadachi."

'He-he looks so cute like that.' Blushing I gave the boy a genuine smile. "Fuji, Fuji Syuusuke. That's my name."

Ryoma looked slightly taken aback, if the widening of his eyes were any indication, but then closed in an adorable smile. Giggling Ryoma replied, "Heehee, okay Syuu-chan!"

For years after Ryoma was constantly surprising me with a cute moment mixed in with his usual cocky demeanor, and I guess somewhere down the line, I just fell for him completely.

*End Flashback*

The feeling of Ryoma going limp snapped me out of my memories. Looking down I noticed that he had passed out from shock. Giggling, I picked him up bridal style and started walking to OUR temporary home.

-Regular POV-

Sunlight filtered into the room and into the eyes of a certain cat like individual. Groaning softly to himself, Ryoma started drifting to the land of the living. Squinting his eyes open a tad, he could see a blurry looking person above him, talking if the moving of his mouth was any indicator. If he tried hard enough he could hear a little bit of what the person, now identified as Syuusuke, was saying.

"-And I shall wake you up with true love's kiss." Fuji said, and with a flourish, dropped his head down and gave Ryoma a peck on the lips.

Ryoma spluttered for a bit, blushing furiously, "Wha-how-wha-What the hell was that?"

"Saa it worked. I should do that more often. Hmm what was that Ryo-chan?"

"What. The. Hell. Was. That." Ryoma ground out between clenched teeth. Fuji, instead of taking offense, just simply pat his head and, with a tone generally used for five year olds, explained to him that that was a kiss.

Suddenly Fuji went serious and stared into Ryoma's golds with his open blues, "Ryoma, I love. I have loved you for a long time. I was prepared to give you up, but now that I've had a taste of the forbidden fruit, I'm afraid I can't let you go."

Stunned at the sudden confession, Ryoma was silent for a bit. Finally deciding that he was too confused at the moment to even think he told Fuji that he would give his answer at the end of the school day and that Fuji was free to do what he would normally do. (I.e. hugging, being possessive as hell, growling at anything that moved, so on and so forth)

Thinking it to be an okay course of action, Fuji agreed, but not without silently thinking, 'I'll have you yet Ryo-chan. I won't give up until I have you. You were mine ever since we met.' At this point his thoughts turned feral, 'And everyone knows I never willingly give up what's mine. EVER.'

-888-

Okay yes I am aware that I haven't updated in close to a month and I apologize but I'm a really bad procrastinator and I really should be working on my gifted homework, so you should be glad that I am writing this for you.

I also apologize about the shortness of the chapter, but my sister has a friend over and I'm writing this at five in the morning. Plus my c key keeps messing up.

Please Review! Reviews are like Sparkles. Let's make the world sparkly.

Marui and Niou Plushies to all those who reviewed. At the moment I think Sakura Ichigo Morihiko has collected the most for reviewing every chapter except chapter 2 I think. I'll look it up later. If I have made a mistake and you have reviewed just as much as her or more say so in a review and I'll correct my mistake in the next chapter.

Toodaloo!
