Holy crap the crack is back. I could not help but do this one; I have been looking forward to it surprisingly enough. " – speech, ' – thoughts. Enjoy my fellow friends!
I is for Ikkyu
Sena could not believe what he was seeing. The sight was so heartbreaking he could almost hear it shatter into a million pieces through his ears. Honestly, the brunet couldn't really understand why he was so torn up over it in the first place, Ikkyu didn't belong to him or anything. It's not like they were dating, not even close friends, so why was Sena so upset because the receiver was talking to a girl, blushing abashedly? You could say he had a small – that would be lying, a major crush on Hosokawa Ikkyu. The Shinryuji player, to Sena was unique and interesting; saying oni, with the red mark on his forehead and his technique in running. He didn't know how or why he became attracted to the other short teenager, maybe Monta was partially to blame but it just happened and the brunet was having a hard time getting over it.
The worst part was, to Sena's knowledge anyway, Ikkyu was completely straight. What was even worse was that it seemed he liked Mamori. The girl he was actually talking with now; blushing a bright red and scratching the back of his neck nervously, a shy smile on his face. Those actions made his already broken heart pieces sink; it was ridiculous how he was reacting about the black haired boy and he knew it but couldn't help himself. Since the girl was Mamori, his sister-like figure, it didn't help the situation. She was so pretty too, with her light brown hair, blue eyes, nice figure and the fact that she had boobs. 'Damn her and those stupid mounds of fat,' he mentally cursed.
Ikkyu was really happy at the moment, not only was he talking to a girl, but it was Mamori. This just made his day so much better, but he was getting distracted by what he could see out of the corner of his eye; Sena peeking out from behind a wall, looking really depressed. Puzzled, he tried to focus all of his attention on the manager of the Deimon Devil Bats but kept finding it stolen away by the brunet in his peripheral vision. He was at a loss as to why he seemed so sad, maybe something happened? He could ask the runningback later; this thought shocked him. Since when did he start caring about Sena's well-being? He shook his head, 'I am oni confused.' Ikkyu missed Mamori saying her goodbye and taking her leave, after he realized he nodded without even knowing, he glanced over at the miserable teen. His light brown eyes widened but Sena didn't look away, neither did he. The two continued to stare at each other for a while not saying anything. Before the Shinryuji student could get a word out, the other bolted, disappearing.
It wasn't until two days later that curiosity was eating away at Ikkyu's insides, did he finally manage the guts to ask Sena what was wrong. And when he did, he couldn't understand what he was saying through all of his stammering and stuttering before he bolted, again. Now the receiver was starting to get angry, he skipped practice, which surprised everyone on his team – to see the brunet. The forehead marked teen watched him practice, waited for the right moment, got him alone but yet again, Sena ran off.
The same routine happened for a couple more weeks, which quickly turned into months. After a while, it seemed they didn't really care anymore or why it started in the first place only the chase that was happening between them mattered. It almost became a game to the teenagers. Ikkyu and Sena both got addicted to the thrill of being pursued, during the beginning, the shy runningback started to chase him too. They danced around the other, it was exhilarating; both of them enjoying every minute of it.
Sena wouldn't have ever imagined this coming from him avoiding Ikkyu's questions like the plague. Loving the attention his crush was giving him – it made him giddier than he would like to admit. But the thing that bugged him was that he didn't know if the boy that held his affections even liked him back. It bothered him, because he really liked the other teen and wanted something to happen between them, Sena wished for it with all of his soul.
When the brunet went to Shinryuji to see Ikkyu he froze. He was there at the front steps to the school but was talking with some random girl; both blushing a rosy colour. The raven haired teen looked embarrassed and was holding a small bouquet of daisies, obviously from her while holding onto his arm. But the moment they made eye contact, Sena ran. He heard someone calling after him – his eyes started to sting, tears leaked out of his eyes as he scampered away. 'I'm so stupid…'
Ikkyu was exiting the school after a long day of classes and practice, eager to go see Sena. His teammates stopped asking about it, Agon even left it alone now, once he got out the front doors though, a girl immediately came up to him and shoved a bouquet of white daisies at him. Startled that a cute girl was giving him flowers and telling him how much she likes him. By now normally he would have reacted with a dark crimson face and a stammer to rival Sena's; he didn't. The receiver blushed sure, but ever since the game with the runningback from Deimon started, his mind hasn't really been on anything else. Constantly thinking about his brown hair and eyes, tan skin, kind smile and the new connection with each other. So Ikkyu tried to politely turn her down but she wouldn't have it. She had the nerve to cling to his sleeve, pulling herself closer to him and to make matters worse, he made eye contact with Sena at that exact moment. His amber eyes widened and before he could shout out something, the brunet did what he did best, run. Ikkyu found his feet moving sooner than his brain even registered and called out to him.
Sena couldn't steady himself properly, his steps were uneven and sobbing while running made it hard to breathe. His tears blurred his vision, causing him to trip over an object. With a yelp he fell down onto some grass, landing on his side rather painfully, making it even harder to take in air. He started to crawl away at one point, still crying and desperately wanting to get away from Ikkyu at the moment. Not wanting to make a bigger fool of himself than he already felt.
Ikkyu panted 'I hope I didn't mess everything up oni,' he thought to himself, it was tough trying to keep up with the runningback but since Sena's running wasn't in top shape at the moment, he didn't lose him. Following Sena through the park, but when the brunet suddenly fell harshly on his side, the receiver couldn't help but call out to him again. After he seemed to have recovered a bit, he started to crawl away; the teen with the mole on his forehead frowned at this and sped up, not wanting Sena to escape. He made sure to stop in front of him and went down on one knee, his hand reaching toward his shoulder. The Deimon student looked up and chocked on a sob, looking away and slumping against the ground with a defeated cry. Ikkyu's eyes softened at the horrible sight, Sena had curled up into a ball holding his knees against his chest.
"Sena…" He murmured; tears pricked at the edges of his own eyes, before he blinked them away and placed a steady hand on Sena's calf. He took in a breath and his body shuddered in response, trying to hold back his tears.
"Sena talk to me, please?" Ikkyu pleaded, his grip tightening ever so slightly. The brunet's eyes snapped shut, a painful look spread across his face before he sobbed again. The Shinryuji Naga player scooped him up, placing him between his legs and held him against his chest, letting him weep to his content.
The Deimon student didn't stop bawling for a good five minutes before he gathered up his wits again, pushing his head up slightly to stare up at Hosokawa Ikkyu. He was looking down at him with a hurt expression, his amber eyes tinged with regret.
"I – Ikkyu…" Sena sobbed before he buried himself into his shoulder, clutching at his uniform; said teen hugged him, holding him closer.
'How could I have been so oni stupid?' Number thirty three berated himself. He couldn't believe he didn't notice how the Deimon player felt about him. Ikkyu knew he wasn't the smartest when it came to things like this, but it was so apparent that the other teenager felt really strongly about him. And he thinks that he feels something for the other too.
Sena once again stopped crying and he sat up somewhat, his face only inches away from Ikkyu's. He had so much to say, but his mouth couldn't form the words that he had been hiding for so long. The runningback gaped, his mouth opening and closing – Ikkyu smiled slightly at this and hugged Sena again, feeling is heart strings tug at the sight.
"Wha-?" He blurted out, not able to say anything else because soft lips covered his. At this his brown eyes went wide with shock, Ikkyu pulled away before Sena could react.
"I like you." The backwards running boy said simply while placing his hands on his shoulders and looking him straight in the eye so that he could understand that he wasn't lying.
"And we will work something out oni, I promise." Sena's eyes watered at his confession, he threw his arms around Ikkyu's neck, nuzzling into his dark locks, forgiving him instantly. It was Hosokawa's turn to be surprised, but he just smiled and wrapped his arms around the brunet's waist. A cell phone went off and they broke apart for the Deimon ace to answer his phone. The Shinryuji player didn't listen to the conversation, too busy with his own thoughts. What were him and Sena going to do now? Were they technically a couple now? He sighed, there were so many questions; a hand brushed against his cheek lightly, breaking him out of his thoughts and he glanced over at Sena. He was beaming at him, looking so happy. Ikkyu leaned toward Sena again and kissed him for a second time, 'I'll worry about that later.'
