"…" are convos while //..// are inner monologues
Warning: I don't know..but I have the feeling that I've lost my sense of humor.
Why don't you guys decide okay?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hiroaki, where have you been? Fukuda has been waiting for you all afternoon" asked Mrs. Koshino as she opened the door to her son.
"Sorry mom. I had to buys some stuff for a school project.// yea right. Great. Hiroaki…just great. Note to self: Never lie to mom ever again//." Koshino explained as he stepped into the house.
" Well then, you'd better go upstairs quickly okay? Fukuda is in your room. And Hiroaki, apologize to Fukuda for being late ne?."Mrs. Koshino smiled at her son. Heading upstairs, Koshino just let out a groan. Why should he apologize? It'll just damaged his reputation of being..…tough and besides, why should he apologize when he was about to murder the guy?
Upon entering his room, Koshino saw Fukuda sitting near the his study table, reading a manga. Mumbling a greeting to his teammate, Koshino just sat down next to Fukuda and stared at him. This made Fukuda nervous. Really nervous.
"Erm…Koshino? Is there something on my face?" the power forward inquired.
"No." was all that Koshino said and continued to stare at Fukuda. Unable to stand it any longer, Fukuda looked at his friend.
"Daijoubu ka Koshino?"
"No".
"Then why are you staring at me??" Fukuda's voice rose.
Koshino felt like one of his blood vessels was going to pop. He abruptly stood up and gave Fukuda his You-are-so-dead look.
"The reason why I'm staring at you is that I'm pondering on my decision to actually murder you!"he said between gritted teeth while tapping his foot.
"Doushite? // Okay..this is so not good.Kami-sama, help me!// Fukuda inquired. Standing up to face the shorter boy. Grabbing the front of Fukuda's shirt, Koshino a.k.a The Active Volcano Of Ryonan High was about to erupt. He was about to shout at the now frightened power forward but a knock on his bedroom door stopped him.
"Hiroaki, is everything all right in there?" Mrs.Koshino asked.
//Phew…Saved by the mom. I owe you one Mrs. Koshino// Fukuda thought
"Nothing mom. Me and Fukuda were just joking around" the point guard answered cheerfully back to his mom.
"Well..alright then. If you need anything, I'll be in the kitchen okay honey?"
"Alright mom" Koshino replied. Soon, after hearing his mom leaving, Koshino faced Fukuda.
"Now…where were we?"Koshino sniggered.
//So much about being rescued by Mrs. Koshino// Fukuda sweatdropped.
"Oh yes….we were at the part where I actually kill you. Smirking, Koshino sat on his chair.
"Koshino..I don't know why you wanna kill me…but…maybe we could work something out? Like tell me why you are so mad at me." The tone of Fukuda's voiced is so desperate. //I'm too young to die for no apparent reason!// he thought.
Smiling widely, Koshino nodded. "Very well then…Fuku-chan" Koshino laughed while Fukuda, cringed at the nickname given.
"Lets see…."Koshino began." Oh yes, on the way back home a while earlier, I saw you and Sendoh talking together behind the cafeteria. Oh..lets just say that I heard….EVERYTHING…Care to explain the full situation? And what's this deal you and Sendoh made all about?". Leaning on the chair, he crossed his arms waiting for an answer.
Fukuda was indeed shocked. The colour just practically drained from his tanned face.
" The deal? umm……oh yea, that deal…" Fukuda was having trouble explaining the whole thing to the other boy.
"Just spit it out Fuku-chan or this will be your last day on earth!"Koshino snapped. Again, Fukuda cringed when Koshino emphasized on the –chan.
"Tell me everything"
~Meanwhile~
Laying on his bed, Sendoh Akira smiled while holding a framed photo of him and his secret love. Ever since they first meet three years ago, he yearned for his best friend's love. But, as it turned out, it was hard to gain.
" I hope my plan works. Soon..Hiro-kun will be in my arms// nyahahahahahahaha!!!!// Sendoh said.
Little that he know that his plan would not work…
~Back to Koshino's house~
"So..Sendoh actually loves me?"Koshino asked, his face showed his happiness.
"Yea…he did this all for you.He wanted to avert the attention of his love for you. Actually, all he wanted to do was comfort you about the whole thing. He thought that you would be devastated that somebody would actually send love letters and gifts to you" Fukuda answered. After teling Koshino the whole truth that he and Sendoh were behind the whole thing, he felt relieved that the shorter boy did not turn him into chopped liver.
Koshino was now lost in the revelation that Sendoh actually loves him.
//He loves me!!!!!!!!!!!helovemehelovesmehelovesmehelovesme!! wipee!!! He actually loves me!!!!!//
Those were Koshino's only thoughts at the moment until…..
"Wait….isn't his plan kind of stupid? What if I really fell in love with you in return?" Koshino asked.
Sighing Fukuda rubbed his temples.
"That's what I thought but….he promised to do something for me in return. You know..the deal thinggie." Leaning against the wall Fukuda closed his eyes.
"And what do you get from all this?" inquired the shorter boy.
" Sendoh promised me that if I helped him, he'll….oh never mind. Not wanting to continue, Fukuda took his backpack and headed for the door. But, before he could actually reach it, his arm was caught in a death-grip by Koshino.
"Oh no you don't. Tell me, what did Sendoh promised you?" Letting go of Fukuda's arm, he waited for an answer.
Fukuda was silent. This made Koshino want to punch the guy
"What did the baka promised you Fuku-chan?" he asked again.
"He…he promised me that if I helped him..he'll set up a date with Jin for me" the power forward answered back reluctantly.
"Nani? You like Jin from Kainan?"
"Erm….yea…."
Koshino now was trying his hardest to contain his laughter but failed.
"hahahahahahahahahhh!!!!!" he laughed.
"I'm sorry Fukuda. I'm not laughing because I think it's funny that you love Jin. I'm laughing because I can give you a btter deal than Sendoh." Chuckling, Koshino took out a photo album from the top drawer of his table.
"Here, look at these photos are of my second cousin and tell me they are of now" Koshino smiled and handed Fukuda the photo album.
Taking the photo album, he flipped through it an suddenly, his eyes widen in shock and he uttered only one name.
"Ji-….Jin-Jin!"
"Yes, my second cousin Jin Soichiro" replied Koshino.
"Why didn't you tell me?????" Fukuda asked his teammate.
"You never asked". Smirking, Koshino leaned forward, and smiled a creepy smile.
"Fukuda, I have a better deal for you. If you can HELP me and not that stupid spiky-haired baka, I'll let set a date with Jin for you . Deal?" he extended his hand to the other boy.
Smiling, Fukuda shook Koshino hand.
"Deal"
// Sendoh my love…now it's payback time// Koshino thought.
~Tsuzuku~
How was it? Too rushed?
