Disclaimer: in order for me to own Kiyota, I'd have to be a zookeeper. Oh, and I don't control Maki- he controls me.
"Maki-saaaannnnnnn!" wailed that familiar, high-pitched, annoying voice belonging to none other than super rookie Kiyota Nobunaga.
Maki Shinichi flinched and caught his friend's eye.
Jin Souchiro was laughing- well his eyes were, at his expense.
Maki glared at him. Some friend you are.
Jin's eyes only danced with increased mirth at the directed glare.
"Maki-saaaaannnnnnnn!" whined Kiyota, appearing magically before the Kainan captain.
"What is it now Kiyota?" he sighed, running a hand through his hair as was his habit.
"You promised to teach me to dunk," pouted the younger boy, lower lip thrust out petulantly.
"Can't you dunk already?" honestly, this boy was going to be the death of him.
"Not the way you do it! You promised!" his lip began to tremble and he widened his eyes just for effect.
Maki-sighed and allowed himself to be led away by a jubilant Kiyota. Again he met his best friend's eyes. They were twinkling with amusement. He raised an eyebrow but Jin only smiled sweetly back at him.
Go on, laugh at me. He thought sourly.

"So that's how you do it," murmured Kiyota, eyes wide with admiration.
"Yeah."
"I always wondered……."
"Well now you know."
"……….. Maki-san……" the younger boy gazed adoringly at his captain and idol, "Maki-san, you're the best!"
Maki offered a tight smile in response. He was not one to let praise get to his head. He was level-headed. He was cool.
"Can you do it again? Please?" begged Kiyota, going all puppy-eyed on him.
Maki sighed. But there was only so much he could take.

"So." Jin smiled pleasantly at him, a picture of innocence, but Maki knew better.
"What?" he sighed.
"Had fun?"
Maki shot him the Death Glare™. "Of course I did. I had so much fun I could die happy now," he replied sarcastically.
"Oh come now, Kiyota's not that bad!" teased Jin. Maki could sense the other boy's trouble in containing his amusement.
"He's that bad," mumbled Maki gloomily.
"HE just adores you. You're his hero after all. Everyone knows that Kiyota Nobunga lives for you." There. Jin was shaking with barely suppressed laughter already. Maki didn't think he'd last any longer.
"If you're going to laugh at me anyway, why don't you?" he snapped irritably.
With his permission, the boy really did. Maki Shinichi waited patiently for his friend to recover before asking, "Why is he like that?"
"Like what?" asked his friend in turn, immediately serious.
"You know…. clingy, whiny, loud……" Maki cringed.
"Like I said, the boy likes you."
"What's that got to do with anything? I mean," Maki made a face, "most people like me. I'm not exactly detestable you know. So why only him?"
Jin shook his head, smile in place.
"No Maki Shinichi, he likes you."
"I know he does!" Maki said in frustration, "But------"
Then it dawned on him. It dawned on the great Maki Shinichi.
"Oh."
