Chapter 10
Four pairs of eyes continued to stare at each other as the clock continued to tick. Two people sat on each couch, Nanjiroh and Rinko sitting on one, and Ryoma and Kunimitsu sitting on another.
Ryoma and Rinko both sighed as they looked at their lovers. The said lovers were starring at each other as if they wanted to start an argument.
Nanjiroh glared at Kunimitsu with much intensity, while Tezuka just stared, but of course his ever-narrowed eyes made him look like he was mad or angry.
Another second passed as Nanako came carrying a tray with some drinks before taking her seat next to the Echizen couple.
"So, can you introduce us, Ryoma?" Rinko tried to start a conversation.
Tezuka and Ryoma looked at each other before nodding.
"Kaa-san, Oyaji. This is Tezuka Kunimitsu, the person I'm currently dating."
Ryoma then looked at Kunimitsu, "Kunimitsu, they are my parents and the girl sitting next to them is my cousin" Ryoma introduced.
Tezuka stood and curtly bowed. "My name is Tezuka Kunimitsu, current captain of Seigaku Tennis club. Yoroshiku" Tezuka greeted.
Rinko stood up and bowed as well followed by Nanako. It wouldn't be polite if you don't treat a guess properly. She turned to look at her husband and found the said monk sitting there just starring at their guest.
"Nanjiroh!" she scolded her husband.
Nanjiroh did stand, but with an add-on snort and a bow was never seen before the monk took his seat again. He was soon followed by the two women in the room and took their seat as well.
"So, Tezuka-san. Tell us more about yourself" Nanako said
Tezuka nodded, " I'm sixteen, president of the student council. I was the valedictorian last year in our batch level. My hobbies are mountain climbing, camping and fishing."
Nanako's eyes were practically glittering with how interesting Tezuka was, even Rinko found the young man quite perfect.
"So? You're still a guy. I wont be able to see sexy and young women in this house ever again" Nanjiroh snorted. He wanted to continue by adding that a man and a man alone wont give him any grandchildren but the death glares he's currently receiving both from his wife and Ryoma were like signing his own death deal.
After glaring at Nanjiroh, Rinko turned her attention to Tezuka who was sitting quietly next to Ryoma and looked slightly amused.
Tezuka was amused, for some reason; he could remember that the father was usually the head of the family. But in the Echizens' case, it looked liked the complete opposite of it… He wondered what his family would look like if his mother were always in charge, and then maybe he wouldn't grow up to be so strict to himself like his grandfather.
"Well, Tezuka-san, since you're here, would you like to stay for dinner?" Rinko asked smiling
Tezuka shook his head of disagreement, "No, I would only be troubling you. Echizen-san" Tezuka declined politely.
Nanjiroh was heard mumbling, something between the lines of 'yeah, you're trouble all right' but the rest of the family just ignored him as if he was just a fly.
"It's all right Tezuka-kun. It's no trouble at all" Nanako insisted.
In the end, Tezuka nodded in agreement, he even volunteered to help Nanako and Rinko serve the food. But of course, Rinko and Nanako didn't agree to that, guests shouldn't be doing such things, and girls are usually the one to do those things.
So instead, they made Ryoma help them, even though the cap-wearing boy kept on refusing, saying that he wasn't a girl so he shouldn't be doing things like that, but Rinko managed to persuade her son by telling him that Tezuka would want a lover that knows at least how to serve food, and Ryoma scowled as he took off to help his mother and cousin.
Which left Nanjiroh and Tezuka alone in the living room…
The two equally stubborn men didn't speak a word, though it would seem that Tezuka wanted to confront Nanjiroh and yet somehow the words didn't come out of his mouth.
After a few more minutes of silence, Ryoma came out of the kitchen and went to them
"Kunimitsu, time to eat" Ryoma smiled, and then turned to Nanjiroh and putting on his disgusted look
"Oyaji, dinner's ready" Nanjiroh's mouth fell open at what he was seeing. His own son treating his boyfriend like he was an angel from above, but treats his own father as if he was trash. He sighed; he would have to find out what his idiotic son found in the guy that caused him to smile like that.
When they all sat down at the dinner table, they first gave thanks to the wonderful food and then started eating.
Nanjiroh watched as his son kept smiling to Tezuka while asking him to try some of the dishes, he scowled under his breath, he needed to split those two up… and fast, a few more of those smiles and he'd be seeing his own son in marriage and not with a girl! "So, seishonen. Tell me, what did you like about Tezuka-kun here"
Ryoma and Tezuka stopped talking and looked at each other… Ryoma smiled at Tezuka and held his hand under the table and squeezed it lightly. "Of course, everything about him. But you wouldn't know that, because you're just a stupid old man"
"What? I bet that boyfriend of yours is too stoic and cold that he can't even smile!" Nanjiroh tested.
"Bakka Oyaji, don't you dare insult him! Kunimitsu smiles, but not in front of perverted people like you!"
Nanjiroh winced his own plan backfired.
The two were about to throw food at each other had Tezuka and Rinko stopped them. Seriously, the only people who could control their lovers were they.
After a long silence, and the continued glare of the Echizen Senior and Echizen Junior, Nanako decided to start a conversation.
"Oh, I remembered when your senpais were here for your birthday, two of them who looked like juniors kept fighting like the one you two are doing now, so please stop it."
The two Echizens huffed at each other before looking away.
"Really? How did that happen? How did it go? Again, I'm sorry we weren't home, Ryoma. You know I need to go back to America for your aunt, and your father was only accompanying me…even though he only went back to see those women of his" She glared at her husband at the thought.
Nanjiroh just grinned at the thought, and when Rinko saw that grin, she took the pleasure of punching her husband
"Ahh, well you see…" Nanako recalled what happened and how they mistook Ryoma's birthday for some other day and she told the whole story to her uncle and aunt.
"See, that boy doesn't even know your birthday!" Nanjiroh said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Tezuka just bowed his head, "Gomen" he apologized to Ryoma.
Ryoma smiled, "It's not your fault Kunimitsu, I don't blame you" he then turned to his idiotic father and gave him a glare that clearly says 'I'm going to kill you!'
When they finished eating, Rinko gestured them to the living room and asked them to wait for the dessert. After that, she took off and followed Rinko to the kitchens while Nanjiroh left for the living room.
Tezuka was about to stand when Ryoma suddenly pulled him down for a kiss. When they broke the kiss, Ryoma smiled as Tezuka gave him a confused look.
"And that's for…?"
"Nothing, I just feel like it" Ryoma answered while chuckling slightly
Meanwhile, a certain Echizen Nanjiroh sighed for what seem like the umpteenth time for that day as he watches the young couple in front of him. 'Well, I can't do much about this now. Besides that guy, the only person who can make that brat smile like that is not even human.' Nanjiroh then looked at the Himalayan cat resting on the sofa. He decided with a conclusion. He called forth Tezuka and Ryoma to join him in the living room.
When the two arrived, they took their seats on the couch against the one Nanjiroh was seating.
Nanjiroh sighed, "Well, Tezuka-kun. You're a very serious person, and as a matter of fact, I can't see why someone like you would think of Seishonen this way. Tezuka-kun, I know you're a very responsible person, and I also know that you have talent when it comes to tennis. So… I guess I would be able to leave this brat to you. But don't get the wrong idea, I'll still be checking up on you. So you two have fun every night, don't forget to use lubricant" Nanjiroh winked at the both of them before heading to the direction of the bathroom.
Ryoma had no idea what his father was thinking but he did notice the slight blush on Tezuka's face, though he didn't mind it. He was wondering what he'd do with a lubricant though…
After a few seconds of Tezuka thinking of things that he'll do with Ryoma and a lubricant in a bed. His mind went back to the past sentence before the last one and began to register and analyze the words that Nanjiroh had said … after a few seconds; his eyes went wide with the conclusion he got.
He turned to look at his boyfriend to confirm his final answer.
Ryoma just grinned and leaned forward to give his boyfriend a chaste kiss.
"He means yes, we can start dating now. Though, I would advise you to be careful with him, his mind makes up crazy things. So just be careful, he might arrange one of his women for you"
"Aa, don't worry Ryoma. I love you, and only you" Tezuka smiled before leaning down to return the kiss, sadly they were interrupted by Rinko and Nanako carrying sliced fruits and tea with them and placing them on the table.
"Ryoma, where's your father?" Rinko asked after noticing that her husband wasn't around.
Ryoma stopped in the process of pouring Tezuka's tea and stared at his mother;
"I think he's in the bathroom" he then looked back to Tezuka, "more tea Kunimitsu?"
Tezuka nodded before offering his cup for Ryoma to refill.
When Nanjiroh returned, all of the occupants of the living room were horrified. For the said head of the Echizen household held a stack of magazine, and it wasn't just a magazine… it was his collection of porn magazine!
"Hey boys, I've got something fo-"
He was cut of by a yelling Ryoma, "Kunimitsu, look!" pointing at his cat who was happily sleeping on the rug. "Kunimitsu, come meet Karupin" Ryoma forcefully dragged Tezuka towards the sleeping ball of fur. "Kunimitsu, did you know that Karupin is a Himalayan cat, and is very smart? Here, pat him there, just behind his ears. He likes it that way," Ryoma said
While Tezuka was occupied with Karupin, Ryoma turned his head and glared at his father. Then, he turned to his mother giving her a look that says 'please help'.
Rinko was fast in translating the look that Ryoma gave him; she stood up and glared at her husband. "Anata, come here" she said as she grabbed one of Nanjiroh's ear and dragged him upstairs.

"I told you not to bring those if we have guest!" Rinko scolded.
"I was just trying to make those boys more manly" Nanjiroh snorted.
Rinko glared at her husband, "If you ever bring that in front of our guests again, I swear you'll never be able to see them again." She threatened.
Nanjiroh immediately grabbed his collection and made a run for it to try and hide his precious from his wife.

Tezuka, Ryoma and Nanako had almost emptied the sliced fruits as well as the tea.
Tezuka looked at his wristwatch and stood up, "I'll be going Nanako-san. It's late"
Nanako also stood up to call Rinko and Nanjiroh.
Ryoma walked Tezuka to the gate of his house. Once Tezuka was outside the Echizen's gate, he turned and looked at Rinko. He wondered where the head of Echizen household had disappeared to.
"Thank you for having me Echizen-san. I'm sorry for taking advantage of your hospitality." Tezuka bowed when he saw Rinko passed through the door
"Oh no, Tezuka-san. It was nothing at all, and I wouldn't call having dinner with the family 'taking advantage'" Rinko answered.
Tezuka then turned to Ryoma, "I'll be going now"
Ryoma smiled and waved Tezuka goodbye
Once inside…
"I gotta say seishounen, you've got yourself one heck of a boyfriend. So, will you be wearing skirts now?" Nanjiroh appeared out of nowhere smirking.
Ryoma smirked, "Che, bakka oyaji. I'm not the girl in the relationship," Ryoma said before running to his room.
Nanjiroh was just amused by how his son acted. It was obvious who the girl was in their relationship, especially for someone as stoic as Tezuka. He'd have to look forward to seeing his son wearing a skirt. He suddenly laughed at the thought.
Rinko just looked at her husband curiously.
AN:I AM SO SORRY I'M LATE. I actually planned on making a new year's special but I stupidly changed my mind on the last minute… I already finished this a week before but I tried making a new years special- which, didn't turn out to be good so I changed it back to this one…I'm really sorry guys, I hope you can forgive me… I've been having brain wreckage for the past months because of my studies. I really need to concentrate more on my studies, my parents are getting mad…they even threatened on keeping the plug of my computer (cries) so I had no choice…
Please leave your reviews. I want my inspiration… I've been having none lately…(sigh). BTW, do you guys want a new year's special?? It's a tezuryo of course. I figured I should make use of the one I made but I just want to know if you guys would like one…it's a one shot and probably M rated O_o. I'm still deciding, but I already made one… just not sure if I would post it though… I don't think fanfiction will allow it…
