Mitsui lie on his bed facing the ceiling with his arms under his head. His table lamb was turned on. What was wrong with him? He hadn't enjoyed his sleep since, he didn't know since when, but all he knew that his lack of sleep is tiring out the best of him. Everytime he closed his tired eyes, a muffin head would appear then he realizes that it's Ryota Miyagi. 'That stupid point-gurad, why wouldn't he leave my mind alone for a sec?!' He asked in his thoughts so many times that he had lost count.
Tired from the same sight for a couple of hours for now, he rolled on his side looking at the digital clock on the bedside table. 4:00 am. The numbers teased him, taking their time to change into a new shape, into a new number. 1 minute, an eternity passed then it became 2 minutes, another century passed and it became 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes. Finally, he growled and rolled to his other side only to face the wall. He studied it, 'Some places are darker than the others!' He thought, 'Why's that? Hmm, maybe this is what Sensai was talking about a week ago.'
He sighed, this was irritating. He jumped from his bed and headed to the kitchen hoping to find something eatable. Unfortunatly, there wasn't any, so he grabbed a soda and seated himself to the kitchen's table. He opened the soda and took a sip, looking at the fridge that stood infront of him. He placed the can on the table still looking at the fridge. It didn't move, it didn't talk, it didn't do anything. 'This IS boring.' He thought to himself and sighed.
So, what was he supposed to do now? He hated loniness and couldn't bare the idea of staying in this stupid apartment for another minute. He took another sip and closed his eyes trying to relax.
'Ryota, get off my mind.' He said angrily to the boy who stood infront of him in his thoughts, he saw him crossing his arms infront of his chest with a smirk.
'Make me.' He challenged.
'I'm too tired to do so.' He sighed, 'So, what do you want now?'
Ryota rubbed his chin, then sighed, 'Dunno. It's your thoughts not mine.'
'Well, I have to get some rest before I head off to school. So, get outta sight.'
Ryota shrugged and walked away his hands behind his head whistling. Mitsui watched Ryota with his back facing him, he bit his lip. What should he do in such situation? What was he supposed to do?
'Ryota!' He called and the point-guard turned around looking at him questioningly, 'What should I do?'
'Well, you should do what your heart tells you.'
'But.. that's the problem! I'm not sure if.. if I.. I can't tell what my heart's telling me. I'm not sure.'
'I can't tell you either, but I can tell you that if you listened carefully you'll hear what it's trying to tell you. And until then, I'll be waiting for you.' He winked.
'But.. what if.. I might get rejected.'
'Better try than losing your crush, right?'
'Maybe.. but-'
'Hisashi,' Ryota interrupted, 'dun start with buts, ifs and maybes. Just act and watch the react, if you kept thinking like that, you'll just be outta time and then.. I'll be walking away.'
Mitsui sighed, 'think I should conf-' Suddenly, a loud noise jerked him awake. He shot up from the chair that he'd slept on and rushed to his room turning the alarm clock off. He looked at it and sighed, time to go to school. He put his school uniform on, grabbed his bag and headed off to school.
'Should I confess?' He hadn't complete his question, maybe the Ryota in his dream would've answered it but, damn, fuck his luck. He can't remember having worse days than those. He was always that cool, cheeky ex-gangster, but the hell is happening to him! He was getting nervous everytime he was near Ryota and he was hardly managing to hide it. It'd been three days since he visited Ryota in his apartment, and since then he didn't know what to do with those.. feelings that he had for his shorter teammate.
"Oi, Mitsui-san!" He heard his name being called by a very familiar voice that became a kind of sweet music to his ears.
"Ryota! Ohayo." He turned to face his crush with a grin, "I can see that you decided to come to school by yourself, I'd hate to pull you from your ear again."
Ryota looked at his fingers as he placed the tips together embarrased, "Well, I wasn't in the mood to go to school back then."
"Hey, s'okay. Have there been anybody in a mood to go to it before?" He hooked his arm around Ryota's shoulders and felt like if he had touched an uncovered wire. Man, the effect that he had on him. "But it all turned up pretty good after all, right?"
"Yeah," he sighed, "guess so."
"Ok, buddy. Let's go to school."

Ayako watched Ryota the whole practice. He was getting better, She'd guess andshe felt if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest and shoulders. One thing left to be done, which was talking to him. She had hesitated and rejected the idea in the first, but it seemed essential to try saving their friendship. She didn't want to lose Ryota, maybe she couldn't take him as a boyfriend, but as a best friend.. she'd welcome him with arms wide open.
She had waited for the first opportunity to talk to him in private, and when they were alone in one of the court's corners she started, "Hmm, listen Ryota. I just want to apologize about that day, but I want you to understand that I can't feel that way about you. I know that I caused you alot of pain, but I wish that you can find a tiny space in your heart to forgive me." She said, she watched him averting her gaze as she talked. Her guilt tightened her chest, what should she do to make it up for him? Suddenly, he looked at her with a forced smile.
"It's okay, Ayako." First time she heard him call her that, "I *do* understand that I'm only a best bud and I'm okay with it. Guess that I'll get over this soon, so dun worry yourself about me. I'll be fine."
"Sure?"
He nodded, "Yep, sure."
She sighed in relief and smiled, "Friends?" She stretched her hand out.
"You bet." A grin, also a forced one.
"See you later, then." She said.
"Yeah, later." And he watched her walk away. He sighed, well, he had faced her at last. Wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, sure, Mitsui." He said heading to his gym bag, he put it over his shoulder, "we should be heading home now, right?"
'We?!' He thought shocked, but he recovered quickly, "Right, let's go."
The two headed out of the gym and hit the road home. Awkward silence fell on them, Mitsui wished he could be able to slow his pumping heart down. He wished this whole thing would end, he wished that he could confess his love for Ryota, but.. something was holding him back. What? Fear of rjection? Fear of freaking him out? Fear of.. what?
They finally reached the corner that sends each one of them to a different direction. They stood there for a moment, Mitsui looked at Ryota straight in the eye. 'Now or never,' he thought and then he titled Ryota's head up and leaned forward. Shock was what Ryota felt as he saw Mitsui leaning, 'What the-?' Then he felt Mitsui's lips on his own and his eyes windened.
When he got his control back, he pulled away still shocked, "What.. what's wrong with YOU?!" He shouted at him, "what was that?!"
Mitsui felt himself trembling, he didn't expect that reaction. What should he do now, "Ryota.."
"No, NO! No talking!" He shouted, "God, I have to.. God." He looked at Mitsui in disbelief before he turned around and ran away. Mitsui watched him sadly, what have he done?
What have he DONE?!

I kinda forgot bout continuing this piece of work, but somethings happened and I had to get my mind busy from thinking bout 'em. *sigh* Well, hope you enjoyed it.. And Mayumi, I guess I didn't thank you enough for being there for me. ^^ Please, R/R.
