twenty-five
It was late night when Hiruma and Sena reached the house. It had been a particularly long day and the two boys only thought of collapsing on a big fluffy bed. Once the runner had removed his shoes, his feet left the ground and he got carried to the upper level and into the bedroom. Soon, only his underwear remained on his aching body. The boy slipped under the covers and embraced the heat and comfort of the bed. Not even a second later, two strong arms wrapped around his weak body. As Sena felt his boyfriend nibbling slightly at his ear, a pleased sigh escaped from the small teen's lips. The big hands and long fingers of the quarterback slowly and gently caressed the running-back's half-naked body.
In the room, no noises could be heard except for Sena's loud breathing, but that silence was suddenly broken. "Hey, fucking Shrimp? You fucking sleeping?" A light growl was the only answer the blond got. "'Re your fucking legs ok?" A tiny nod followed. "I feel like shit for letting you hurt yourself that badly." The boy turned around to face the quarterback and brushed the back of his hand against his boyfriend's cheek. He leaned in a bit and sealed his lips with the other's. When the kiss ended, the blond started talking again. "Oh, and before I forget... What the fuck was that all about with the fucking punk?"
Sena was lost. "What do you mean? What happened with Jumonji?"
"He put his fucking paws on my running-back. That's what fucking happened! ... I have to find a way to make him understand who you belong to..." Hiruma's mind was going a mile a minute and finally, he came up with the easiest and most unHiruma-like solution. "'I should just clear things up with him myself. That way he won't fuck with my 'Shrimp' again.'
"He was just helping get up. He's just a friend." Sena tried convincing his boyfriend, but unfortunately for the runner, the blond had already made up his mind and giving up wasn't even considered as an option in the strategy the Captain of the Deimon Devil Bats had built in his mind.
After that, it didn't take long for the two boys fall asleep. The next morning, Sena had to pass by his house where he had left his uniform the day before. He was about to join Hiruma who was waiting for him a couple of meters down the street, when Suzuna appeared out of nowhere. The small teenager had no choice but to greet her, but as he was walking to the spot where the quarterback was waiting, he noticed the cart and the monkey-like receiver sitting inside of it. Sena was about to tell his friend that he was joining with the blond, but before a sound could come out of his mouth, Mamori was there. The runner didn't know what to do. He couldn't risk his childhood friend finding out his secret, but he didn't want to make the demon angry, and especially not before training. It was suicidal to darken the mood of the slave-driver when they had practice an hour later.
At the look on Sena's face, Suzuna could tell something was wrong. And so, she looked around. It didn't take long for her to notice spiky blond hair and a shiny riffle. Unfortunately for the running-back, she had no solution to his issue. The cheerleader decided to just go along with her first plan which was to take Sena to the training field in the cart. And so, she did just that. As she passed by Hiruma, the small girl bend her head and furrowed her brows to apologize.
As soon as the hellish training was finished, the students headed home one after the other. Once he had changed back into his uniform, Sena went looking for the quarterback. The latter was, as usual, tapping along on his laptop. The brunet sat down on the couch right next to the busy teenager. The running-back let his head fall slowly on to the blond's shoulder. He turned his gaze towards Hiruma and waited to be acknowledged.
Soon enough, the quarterback closed the computer and put it aside. "What is it fucking Chibi? You got suddenly fucking lonely?" The older student asked.
"I'm sorry for this morning..." Sena apologized.
"The fuck you are. Why the fuck was that fucking manager there anyways?" He sounded annoyed.
"Sorry..." The boy felt terrible for ditching the blond. "M-maybe we should just tell everyone." He finally sighed.
"Soon Shrimp. Soon. For the time being, we need to concentrate on the fucking game against Ojou." The other teen nodded.
Sena soon left the clubhouse and walked home alone for the first time in a while. As he ran, he bumped into Riku. Seibu's running-back greeted him and as they ran together, someone passed them. He introduced himself as Kamiya Taiga, the running-back of Seibu's next opponent, the Misaki Wolfs. The newcomer seemed to have found a certain pleasure in provoking the white-haired boy. He soon disappeared, leaving a very annoyed Riku behind.
Deimon's ace tried calming down his friend, but it wasn't until Riku spoke that the atmosphere lit up. "So, how are you doing?"
"Me? I-I'm fine. Why?" Sena didn't understand.
"I... I mean are you and ..." The usually arrogant and confident boy seemed embarrassed.
"W-we're f-fine."
"Good..." There was a pause and the two teens found their feet to be incredibly interesting. "Well, ... I need to go. I have early training tomorrow morning..."
"Yeah, sure." Sena felt uneasy. "Riku, I know it must be hard for you to... you know..., b-but I'm really happy with the way things are now and ..." The teenager couldn't finish his sentence, but the message he gave was clear.
"I know... and I'm glad you're happy, but... you know... he's... and you're... so..." It was rare for Riku to struggle with his words, but in that awkward moment he didn't know what else to say. "Well, I'll see you around." He finished before walking away.
Sena got home and the next day, he went to the stadium to watch the game which opposed the Seibu Wild Gunmen and the Misaki Wolfs. Even though Seibu was the favorite, Riku lost his cool and started boiling with anger under the never-ending provocations of Kamiya. Luckily, Kid and Tetsuma managed to calm him down and the victory was theirs. Once the game was over, Riku went to face Kamiya to rub it in his face, but the latter seemed oddly depressed. As Sena waited for his friend outside of the stadium, he heard people coming his way.
"You played well." Deimon's ace recognized Kamiya's voice.
"It seems you're less cocky and annoying once you get crushed." Riku answered. There was a pause and the white-haired boy stretched his hand towards his last opponent.
The latter took it with a glowing smile and shook it happily. "I guess I went a little overboard, but I wanted you to see me as a rival. I didn't really mean all those things I said."
"Why would you do this to make me see you as a rival? It's completely stupid." Seibu's player told him.
"Yeah, it was. How about I treat you to a cup of coffee? That way I can apologize for being a jerk before." Kamiya suggested.
Riku agreed to it, and went with the other runner to a Café nearby. Sena, who had heard everything followed them. Once he had found a good seat, he received a message from a certain quarterback asking him where he was. He quickly answered by giving his location and telling the blond to join him. During this time, the two other runners were chatting along. When Hiruma arrived, the brunet waved at him and told him to be quiet. Then, a pair of pointy elf-like ears caught the familiar sound of the runners' voices and the Deimon players listened to what was happening.
After more than an hour, the two running-backs got up and walked out of the building. Sena and Hiruma followed them discreetly. As Kamiya and Riku were about to split, the latter hold his hand out once again, but this time, Misaki's player reached for the other's neck and brought the white-haired and short-tempered boy's face to his. In a second, their lips met. Riku's eyes were wide with shock, he hadn't predicted that move, but as Kamiya deepened the kiss, it seemed like Seibu's runner actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Sena couldn't believe what he had just seen. Less than two hours before, the two teenagers couldn't stand one another, and now they had their tongues onto each other's mouths. When he heard an evil cackling the brunet came back to reality. Soon, the demon had written everything in his small black book, The Devil's Book.
A couple of hours later, the quarterback and his tiny boyfriend were sitting on the couch, the small boy's head was resting on the blond's chest and the older teen's arms were wrapped around his small figure, in front of an edited video of Ojou's previous games. While the video was playing, Hiruma gave advice and explained to Sena everything he was seeing.
Once they had watched the entire sequence, the quarterback switched off the Television and turned to the smaller teenager. "I must say I'm fucking disappointed with you fucking Chibi."
Sena was confused. "I-I'm so-sorry. W-why? What did I do?" He panicked.
"Didn't you fucking notice?" A daring brow rose and chills were sent down the runner's spine.
The boy thought for a minute. He detailed the blond, staring at him from head to toes once and over again and then something clicked. "Oh! Y-you put a colored jersey on! Ah! Blue looks great on you! You almost look ... how could I say that... normal...?"
"Normal? Fucking normal? Is that all you have to say for yourself?" The older teen seemed displeased with that answer.
After an exasperated sigh, the running-back put on his brightest smile and jokingly answered in an unusually insured tone. "You look quite dashing in blue, but I think I'll just go ahead and take that off for you."
Unfortunately for the brunet, the other teen was known to took advantage of these kinds of situations. "Go ahead then fucking Pipsqueak. I'm waiting for you." The demon was grinning with evil glee.
"I-I wasn't... I'm n-not... I couldn't... and the g-game against Ojou..." It was gibberish... as usual.
"I know fucking Shrimp. Still, it's a fucking shame. Isn't it?" The blond declared and pecked his lover's lips before going to bed.
In the days that followed, Sena found himself quite jealous of his childhood friend, Mamori, who just couldn't leave the quarterback be. She followed him almost everywhere he went and it was starting to get on the boy's nerves. Then, Deimon's trainer came up with an unusual technique to improve the team's stamina... but, it included wearing masks for three days. It didn't take long for a certain couple to realize it was particularly hard or even impossible to kiss with such a thing on their faces.
Three days passed and the game against Ojou was upon them. It was a tougher match than any other Deimon had ever played, but at the last second, the Devil Bats managed to snatch the victory from Ojou right before the White Knights' noses. It wasn't just a victory of Deimon over Ojou, but also a victory of Monta over Sakuraba, Hiruma over Takami, Kurita over Otawara and most of all, a victory of Sena over Shin. Now, the only thing keeping the Devil Bats from the 'Christmas Bowl' were the finals.
Once the game was finished, Sena took Hiruma to the bathroom. "What was that? First Mamori follows you everywhere and now you grab Sakuraba's waist! I know I'm small and childish, but still, I'm your boyfriend. You belong to me!" The boy got carried away.
"Oh, do I? Well then Shrimp. You belong to me too, so remember ... if you don't want me to get jealous... and trust me, you don't, then you better understand. No touching!" Hiruma made himself very clear.
The other teen nodded, understanding. "Yes, you're right. I-I'm sorry Youichi, I don't know what came over me..."
"It's alright fucking Shrimp. Luckily for you, I feel fucking forgiving today." And with that answer, the blond trapped the runner's lips with his own.
After that, Seibu lost unpredictably to the Dinosaurs and the final opposed Deimon to Hakushu.
