CHAPTER 9

"Ochibi!Let's grab burgers"once again the acrobat player of Seigaku glomp the first year regular.

"I cant"Ryoma said shrugging Kikumaru off.He pick up his bag closing his locker.The older pouted.

"Nya Ochibi.You never join us to the burger shop anymore.Did something wrong?"he asked gaining the other's attention.Strangely Fuji stayed a bit late in the clubroom that day.He eyed his boyfriend as Ryoma made his way to the door.

"Nothing's wrong sempai.I need to go to the Monkey King's.I'm already late and he will surely kill me if I'm late any longer"Ryoma said fixing his bag on his shoulder.

"What are you doing at Atobe's ?"Oishi asked.

"Well,you know"Ryoma smirk making them groaned.Fuji narrowed his eyes.

"Echizen,tell Atobe that I will arrange a practice with Hyotei tomorrow afternoon"Tezuka suddenly spoke and all eyes on him.

"Haii"Ryoma replied and turn around to leave.However,he suddenly turn back.

"Buchou,cant you ask Rikkaidai too?Akaya keep calling me to have a match"he said.Fuji open his eyes again at the sound of Kirihara's first name from his boyfriend's mouth while Tezuka raised his eyebrows.

"Why didnt you go to Rikkaidai instead?"he asked.Ryoma rolled his eyes.

"Buchou!"he then glared at the said captain.Tezuka sigh and then nod.Ryoma pull the brim of his cap slightly and walk out completely.

Fuji stare at his shoes leaning against the wall as he wait for Yukimura to pick him up.He look up when a car stop in front of him.

"Syuu"Yukimura greeted as he open the door.Fuji smile and went into the car and it drove away.

"Did Ryoma still went to Atobe's?I saw him when our car cross path"Yukimura asked.

"Aa"Fuji answered as he leaned against the other male and close his eyes.

"I wonder what he did there.He have been going there everyday"he said again.Yukimura look outside as he interwined their hand on his lap.

He might look calm but when one look closer in his eyes,there are some dangerous glint in it.Silence accompany their way to their house and the only sound heard are the small volume of the radio the driver listened to.

Suddenly the driver turn the volume higher and a song played through.Ryoma's song.Yukimura turn to him.

"What song is this?"he asked the driver while Fuji open his eyes.The driver glance at them from the small mirror.

"Oh,I'm sorry,Yukimura-sama,Fuji-sama.I just really love this song"he said and tried to turn down the volume but Fuji stop him.

"It's okay.What song is this?"he ask the same question as Yukimura.

"Nobody know what is the title of the song.This song had been popular this few days.The singer is unknown.The only information on the song was it was sent by someone through email to one of the radio station.The sender said that she can't reveal the singer because it is a secret"the driver explained.The lover nod.

"His voice are so good.The song was so sad"Yukimura said closing his eyes listening to the song.Fuji followed.

"Aa.The singer must had gone through a terrible relationship"he said.

"That's true,Fuji-sama.The sender of the song said that the singer are having a serious relationship problem.Just like the lyric said,the singer was tired about his relationship but he cant bring himself to leave"the driver explained again.

"He must really love his girlfriend"Fuji stated.

"But the voice was so damn familiar"Yukimura whispered frowning.

"We're here"the driver suddenly said shocking them.They were too engrossed in the song that they didnt realized they've arrived.They dont have the mood to go anywhere that day so they went straight home.

They are about to go upstairs when the front door slammed open.They turned to see Ryoma's enraged expression walking in.

"Ryo-"Fuji was about to call him when Ryoma's shout cut him.

"Yuki!Kiyoko!Into my room.Now!"Ryoma yelled as he walk pass his boyfriends up the stairs.Yuki and Kiyoko appeared from the kitchen.It was obvious that they were scared.

"Ryoma!"Yukimura called as Ryoma reached upstair.Ryoma turn to them.

"Nobody allowed to go near my room.Stay there"Ryoma said with his still enraged expression and turn away to his room.Yuki and Kiyoko bowed to them as they followed Ryoma to his room.

Yukimura was about to walk to follow them but Fuji pulled his hand back.

"Dont Seii"Fuji said.Yukimura turn to him with his worried face.

"But Syuu-"he said but Fuji shook his head.

"Lets not angered Ryoma more.This is the first time I ever saw him that angry.Leave him for now.Let's wait here"he said as he lean against the railing.

Yukimura look up before leaning beside Fuji sighing.

"He's scary when he's mad"he said slowly.Fuji chuckled.

"He is.And the regulars said I'm the scariest"he said.

Ryoma threw his bag into his bed as he entered his small room.Soon,Yuki and Kiyoko walk in closing the door.He turn around glaring at them.

"Who sent the recording?"he asked coldly.Yuki and Kiyoko glance at each other.They knew what Ryoma was talking about.Kiyoko gulped as she raised her hand slightly.

"Why did you send it to the station?I thought I told you guys not to say anything about what I did in this house"Ryoma tried hard not to yell.

"I'm sorry,Ryoma-sama.We-I just thought the song was so good and will be a waste if it stay in this house"Kiyoko said with her head lowered down.

Ryoma close his eyes trying to calm down.

"Dont worry,Ryoma-sama.They wont know it's you"Yuki tried to reassured him.

"It's just a matter of time before they found out"Ryoma sigh.

"I guarantee nobody recognize your voice.Even the drivers didnt recognize it"Kiyoko said.

"Aa.And it was so popular these days.Looks like it's not only us who love your voice"Yuki added.Ryoma sighed once again before opening his eyes.

"Of course they didnt know it's me.If not,they wouldnt compliment the song in front of me"Ryoma thought as he recalled the driver talking about the song in the car earlier when the song was played and resulted in him hurried back home.

"You can go out now"he said.Yuki and Kiyoko look at each other.

"You're not mad anymore,right?"Yuki asked slowly.

"Hmmm.I have something to do anyway.I can't stay too long"he said sighing.Atobe will really kill him at this rate.Even worse if Oshitari joined him.

Yuki and Kiyoko nod and walk out.Ryoma followed a moment later after changing his clothes.

Fuji and Yukimura stood straight as they saw Yuki and Kiyoko walk out from Ryoma's room.The maids bowed at them.Ryoma appeared later with casual clothes.

"I'm going out"he said casually passing his boyfriends as if nothing had happened earlier.Yukimura pulled his arm back.

"Where are you going?"he asked.Ryoma turned to them.

"Dont bother"he said bored pulling his arm back.Both his boyfriend narrowed their eyes.

"You're going to Atobe's,aren't you?"Fuji said,his eyes opened.

"So what?Why ask if you've knew?"Ryoma resisted from rolling his eyes.

"Dont go"Yukimura suddenly said.Ryoma glared at him.

"I'm going"he said stubbornly.

"What are you doing there anyway for you to go there everyday?"Yukimura said again.

"None of your bussiness"Ryoma said looking away.Yukimura hold his fist tightly.His jaw clenched.

"Why dont you just told us?We have the right to know everything what you were doing as your boyfriends"Fuji said touching Yukimura's arm lightly to calm him down.

Ryoma tensed.

"Yeah right.Whatever"he mocked.A glint of pain flashed in his eyes before it disappeared as he turn to face his boyfriends.

"I never thought you guys would be interested in whatever I'm doing.You guys never bothered in whatever I did"he said staring at them.Both Fuji and Yukimura tensed.

"Ry-"Yukimura tried to speak but Ryoma beat him.

"And what are you guys doing at home now?Aren't you guys always out for your date at this time?"Ryoma said with his stare getting intense by words.

Yukimura and Fuji was speechless.Ryoma slowly smirk turning away.

"I'm going.I'll be back late so dont bother waiting for me"he said as he made his way to the door and went out.

Yukimura sat on the stair.

"What does he mean?Was he implying that the time we spent with him every night not enough?"he said clenching his fist.

"I dont know Seii.I'm never the best at reading him.I never able to read whatever he was thinking"Fuji said once again leaning against the railing.They fall into silence.

"Is he trying to cheat on us?"Yukimura suddenly said shocking Fuji.

"What are you talking about,Seii?I dont think Ryoma is that kind of person"Fuji quickly said making Yukimura sighed.

"Who knows,Syuu.I know Atobe loved Ryoma.So does some of the other Hyotei's regulars.A lot of people loved Ryoma,Syuu.You'll never knew whatever Ryoma was thinking"he said looking at his palm.

"And you knew our relationship didnt start with love"he continued slowly.

"I only knew he loved you before.Who knew how he felt now"he thought.

Fuji sigh.He knew the fact too well.He himself didnt knew what he felt to the younger boy but he certainly knew he cant let any of them go.

"Let's take some rest"he finally said and went into their room.

Ryoma came home a bit pass 10.He decided to take a shower before playing the piano for the night.

"Are they asleep?"he ask a maid who greeted him.

"I'm not so sure,Ryoma-sama.They didnt went out the room after dinner"the maid said and excused herself.Ryoma look up the master's room door as he walk up the stair.He decided to take a peek.

He slowly open the door and let his head in.

"You're back late"Fuji's voice shocked him.Fuji was leaning against the wall near the door with his arms folded.

"Emm"Ryoma answered opening the door wide enough for him to get through.His eyes roamed around and saw Yukimura was already asleep.

Fuji walk toward the bed and sat,patting beside him telling Ryoma to sit with him.Ryoma sigh audibly walking toward him.

"What are you doing at Atobe's,actually?"Fuji ask straight to the point without turning to Ryoma making Ryoma almost rolled his eyes.

"Bussiness"he simply said.Fuji turn to him.

"Exactly,what bussiness?"he asked again.His expression didnt changed,poker faced.

"I dont want to talk about this Syuu"Ryoma said sighing.

"Are you cheating on us?"Fuji ask again and Ryoma widened his eyes slightly before realization hit him.

"Of course they wouldnt have trust in me.They didnt love me as I do"he thought.

"It's late.Go to sleep,Syuu.I'm gonna take a shower first in my room"he said standing up without answering Fuji's question.However,Fuji misinterpret his actions.

"Ryoma,are you really ch-"Ryoma cut his words.

"You didnt knew me too well,Syuu if you think that way.Go to sleep.I'll be back later"he said and walk out from the room.He can see that Fuji was fighting the urge to sleep.

Fuji was going to stand up but suddenly he felt his body was too heavy to stand.He suddenly felt really sleepy after restlessly waited for Ryoma to get home.He sigh before laying at the centre of the bed leaving the side for Ryoma.

He tried to keep his eyes open but after a few minutes,a familiar lullaby song played.He finally gave in to the drowsiness.

The next morning ,it's went as usual without any words of the incident the day before.However,the same thing cannot be said at the afternoon practice when Hyotei and Rikkaidai went to Seigaku for practice.

Yukimura and Fuji set their eyes at Ryoma and Oshitari who stick together since the beginning of the practice.Sometimes,Atobe would join them but most of the time,it just them two.It was a wonder to them that Tezuka didnt assign Ryoma to any laps for slacking off.

"Ryoma!You promised me a game!"a shout forced them to look away.Kirihara was pouting because Ryoma still havent played with him yet.

"Later"Ryoma yelled back and back talking with Oshitari and Atobe who magically showed up near them.

"Hoi?Why are you calling Ochibi with his name,nya?"Kikumaru asked not far from Kirihara.Fuji and Yukimura was curious too.

"Why,because Ryoma is my dear darling friend,you neko-sempai"Kirihara sneered.

"I dont think Ochibi's boyfriends were happy with that"Kikumaru said running away.When Kirihara turn around,he was freaked out with the glare the duo sadist gave him.He quickly run away.

"Saa"Fuji said.

Finally,Ryoma stop talking with Oshitari and Atobe.He called for Kirihara who gleefully went into the court.The sadists duo watch as Kirihara playfully pat Ryoma's head making the shorter boy scowled.He swat Kirihara's hand and walk away to start their match.

Fuji and Yukimura intently watch the match before another scene caught their eyes.Atobe talking with Tezuka and Sanada before handing an envelope.

"Do you know what I think,Syuu?"Yukimura said looking back to Ryoma's match.

"There's too much secret we dont know"Fuji said playing with his racket.

"Aa"Yukimura said and they fell into silence.

After another hour of practice,practice finally finished.Kikumaru once again wanted to invite Ryoma to burgers but the boy wonder was already following Oshitari and Atobe.

Fuji and Yukimura was pissed because Ryoma didnt even told them he's going with them.

Fuji and Yukimura waited patiently at the living room for Ryoma to come home.It was half past six when the door opened and Ryoma went in.He look at them briefly before walking toward the stair.However,he was stopped by Fuji's voice.

"Ryoma,come here"Ryoma shuddered at the coldness in Fuji's voice.He went to sit in front of them.

"From Atobe's again?"Fuji asked with his eyes opened.Ryoma gulped and slowly nod.

"From today onward,we ban you from going to Atobe's place.Once again you step into Atobe's place,we're over"
