Chapter 8: Yume no High Tension
Author: Mitsui no Miko
It was already late and Sendoh was supposed to be asleep but for some reason, he tossed and turned in bed all night. His mind was busy processing the day's events. Rukawa had never reacted that way before. He especially recalled how Rukawa's eyes flared up during half-time. Rukawa, Rukawa, Rukawa… Why is it that his mind was filled with thoughts of the slender young man? He recalled how Rukawa "blushed" under his penetrating gaze a while ago.
"It's just that he's acting strange today," he reassured himself. Still, that didn't stop him from not falling asleep. Feeling rather hot, he got up from bed and opened the window. It was unusually warm for September or was it just his imagination? He breathed in the fresh air that surrounded the impressive Sendoh suburban residence. Glancing at the clock, he discovered that it was already 3 AM in the morning. "Gotta sleep," he mumbled. He still had to meet Rukawa tomorrow, after all.
He slept fitfully. After hours of tossing and turning, he still couldn't rest in peaceful slumber. Images of furry foxes and flying basketballs infiltrated his head. He dreamt of several things, but most importantly, of Rukawa. He had dreamt of him several times, but in a friendly context. This time, it had been different.
This time, he dreamt that they were kissing underneath a blue moon. Not just an ordinary kiss, it was one full of unspoken feelings towards each other.
He woke up with a start, and mumbled, "What was that about?" Then he looked at the clock, and realized that he only had a few minutes left to get dressed and meet Rukawa for their usual game. In his haste, his dream was left unattended to.
