Chapter 5: The Big Move.
The first thing Mitsui felt was the early sunbeam that fell on his face. He woke up already, but he didn't want to get up. /It's so warm…../ Mitsui thought. Then he slowly opened his eyes, only to be greeted by the most wonderful sight. Rukawa's innocent yet cute sleeping face still on his chest of course.
Mitsui blinked, once, twice, and softly pinched himself to see whether he was dreaming a not. Having Rukawa sleeping on top of him was something too good to be true. But his pinch hurt. So he's definitely NOT dreaming.
/Oh yeah……. I came over check on him last night. Duh~ how could I forget? He is so freaking cute! / thought Mitsui. Then he frowned at his own thoughts.
/Should I wake him up? He might whack me up side down if I do so…./ Mitsui was anxious over his own safety. But waiting for Rukawa to get up himself is not going to be any better. It might take forever.
Sighing and praying for the absolute best, Mitsui decided to slowly prod the sleeping boy awake. After prodding a few times, Rukawa still seem to be sleeping like the dead. So Mitsui changed his prodding is to light massages on Rukawa's back. He also called Rukawa's name softly.
/So….comfortable. Warm pillow. Don't wanna get up./ Rukwa sleepily thought, and to make things worse, he tighten his grip around Mitsui's waist, like a small boy with a teddy bear.
Mitsui's eyes widen at Rukawa's actions. Damn! He wanted to stay that way. But Rukawa squeezed him even tighter, making him hard to breathe. Mitsui frantically shook Rukawa, to release him.
Anytime now, Rukawa so wanted to hit the noisy pillow for disturbing and shaking him before something hit his half asleep senses. /Wait….pillows don't make noise, pillows are not as warm as this, and as sure as hell, a pillow does not shake someone!/
Rukawa's eyes snapped open immediately and found himself facing Mitsui's chest, and his arms wrapped around Mitsui's waist. His eyes widen in horror. He looked up and faced a blue-faced Mitsui.
Rukawa shot and sat up so suddenly that he fell of the bed, landed on his back. Concern, Mitsui sat up and asked, "Are you alright?" Rukawa sat up, rubbing his head and only manage to nod, his face was blushing like a tomato. He had to made a fool out of him self early in the morning, in front of Mitsui.
Silence was between them, before Mitsui finally said "Morning," in a sheepish way and offered a hand to Rukawa. Rukawa accepted his help and got up.
"Sempai, sorry for the trouble I caused." Rukawa said silently.
"Nah, it's nothing. Are feeling better now anyway?" Mitsui placed his hand on Rukawa's forehead. And smile lit on his face. "Good. You fever has broken. You're all fine now. Some miracle pills you have, where did you get those?"
"Bought them," replied Rukawa shortly.
Mitsui rolled his eyes. "I know you bough them, but where exactly? Those things can really come in handy."
"Forgot." Was Rukawa's ever only short reply.
Mitsui sweat dropped.
"Oh well, as long as you're fine." Mitsui stretched. "It was a hell of a night you gave me ya know." Mitsui said. "So, enjoyed your good night sleep?" Mitsui teased Rukawa. He could almost instantly see a pink tingle on Rukawa's face.
Rukawa did not answer, he only hung his head and pouted in embarrassment. Seeing Rukawa's cute face, Mitsui grinned. It was sure a hell lot of fun teasing someone cold like Rukawa.
"Well, best if we get up now, its already 10 o'clock. I think there's still some left over porridge enough for our breakfast. Don't mind is if I use your bath room." Mitsui said and left for the bathroom leaving Rukawa still speechless.
************************************************************************
Rukawa came out from the bathroom and joined Mitsui on the dinning counter after a short while. Mitsui passed him a bowl of cold and leftover porridge. Rukawa accepted it with a mumble of thanks. Then he glared at Mitsui who was almost finishing his share.
"You could've used the microwave." Rukawa informed, half remarking over the stone cold porridge.
"Too lazy. Do it if you want, I'm fine with cold porridge. Its not bad either." Replied Mitsui.
Rukawa said nothing. He just sat and ate his food, thinking /If I get any food poisoning or stomach upsets, he is so going to pay. /
"Hm, we have nothing on today, the basketball training as already been replaced, and it's a fuckingly boring day, so what say you and I go out to hang around? And yes, I've nothing better to do." Suggested Mitsui, eyeing on Rukawa.
Rukawa shrugged.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun. Lets go and catch the latest horror flick, err.. what's it again? Ah yes, the Curse of the Zombies. Or is little Rukawa too scared to go?" teased Mitsui while smirking at Rukawa.
Rukawa gave Mitsui a death glare. "Is that an insult?"
Mitsui smiled mischievously. His plan is working all right. He made an innocent face and said "Why yes, I think it is. Unless you wanna prove it wrong by going to see it, with me. Either, I won't force you if you don't want to." /Almost there…/
Something sparkled in Rukawa eyes, as always when someone challenges him. "Fine. I'll go."
Mitsui grinned widely. "Okay. You promised." /Caught cha./ "Let's go to the cinema after this. Oh, before that, stop by my place. I need a change of clothes."
************************************************************************
Rukawa can't believe it. He is strolling down the street with his hot looking sempai in a pair of jeans and black shirt. He should've been sleeping his ass off on a normal day like this. Either way, he won't complain anything about this.
They stopped in front of a cinema where Mitsui went to the counter to buy tickets. Rukawa just stood outside waiting, rolling his eyes at a group of giggling girls who was eyeing on him and Mitsui like a hawk.
"Ah crap!!!"
/Not good…./ Rukawa turned and saw his sempai walking back to him with a disappointed and angry face.
"This is the third fucking cinema we've been to and the tickets are sold out too!! Damn, the movie must be a big hit…..." Mitsui complained. "Sigh, wish they have a couple of extra tickets…" he added.
Just as he said this, the group of giggling girls came right over, and glomped on both Mitsui and Rukawa. Three went up to Mitsui while the other three surrounded a very annoyed and confuse looking Rukawa.
This girl, with extra thick make up, fake eyelashes, pigtails hair tied up, and wearing pink from head to toe went up to Mitsui and said "Here boys, we have a two extra tickets for the two of you cuties, for free. You can have them, but you'll have to go to the movie with us, buy us drinks, hold us in the movie, and maybe even a date with us! Great bargain right? So, how bout it?" she offered and winked and Mitsui.
Mitsui looked at the girl. First, her hideous pigtail hair, second, he extra-frighteningly-long fake eyelashes, third, her devil red lips which was a definite eye-sore, fourth, her shocking pink outfit that would blind someone. /You want ME to go to the movies with YOU?!? Might as well go out with a ghost. Either that, or I'll just commit suicide. / thought Mitsui blankly.
"Err.. Thanks for the offer, but I would rath--" Mitsui tried to refuse politely, being a gentlemen although he was once a notorious gangster. But another girl with curly and bushy hair rudely cut him off.
"What? Our conditions aren't good enough? Okay, who about 3 dates with all six of us? What'dya say?" the girl held Mitsui's arm tightly as if he was her boyfriend.
"Uh…." Mitsui tried to think of something fast to get rid if these annoying bitches. He had to do something quick because Rukawa looks like he is going to throw a serial of punches and kicks at those annoying but still innocent girls who were drowning him.
Mitsui decided to do the best thing he could think of. He broke free from the girls and grabbed Rukawa out of the other girls grip. Then he held Rukawa's arm, pulling him closer.
"Sorry girls, but me and my partner want to spent sometime together alone. So we can't go to the movies with you girls. Maybe next time." Said Mitsui while leaning closer and closer to Rukawa.
Rukawa was totally stunned. /What the hell?!? In the public! Mitsui Hisashi, you are so going to pay for this…./
The group of girls looked at them with their mouths hanging, as if the world is ending. To sound more convincing, Mitsui snaked his hand and firmly wrap them around Rukawa's waist. Rukawa winced at the contact. Mitsui only smirked, "We have to go now. Come on, sweetheart."
/That's it. You are dead./ Rukawa thought furiously while being lead away by Mitsui, his hand still on his waist.
"Ahahahahaha…."Mitsui was having a hard time controlling his laughter. "Did you see the looks on those girls face? A brilliant mixture of amusement, anger and definite jealousy!! That was fun!"
Rukawa ignored the topic and asked harshly "What, in the name of hell did you do that for?"
"Do what?" ask Mitsui, only receiving a deadly glare from Rukawa. "Oh, that…Well, I figured it was the best and most effective way to get ride of those annoying pests. See? They aren't following or stalking us anymore. Unless you want to go to the movies with them….."
"NO!" exclaimed Rukawa. He too felt that if he was to go to the movie with those girls, someone might as well kill him.
"Exactly. And I saw that you were about to give them a taste of your fist. I had to do something." Mitsui pointed out.
Rukawa said nothing. It was true, he was just about to give those girls some black eyes. He realized that Mitsui's hand was still on his waist. "You can let go now."
"Huh? Oh….okay. Sorry." Mitsui blushed a little. He forgot to take his hand away. And they are in the public. /damn./ he took his reluctant hands off.
"Well, no movies to watch now. I'm going home." Rukawa turn to walk back.
"Wait!" Mitsui grabbed Rukawa's hand. "Cinema isn't only the hang out place, I know where we can have some fun. Follow me!"
Rukawa was reluctantly being lead to the mall. "The mall?" Rukawa look over at Mitsui in disbelieve. He is NOT going shopping with anyone.
"You'll know soon." Came Mitsui's reply.
They were walking in the mall, until something up front caught Rukawa's attention. Something bright and to Rukawa's point of view, annoyingly red. And it belongs to someone's head. That red head is unmistakably belonged to none other then Sakuragi Hanamichi the……..
"Do'aho" Rukawa muttered under his breath.
"Hmm? Did you say something?" asked Mitsui.
"Sempai, where ever you're bringing me, lets take another route." Suggested Rukawa while tugging his sempai's arm. He didn't want to meet the 'red head do'aho'.
"Why? Oh…" Mitsui saw Sakuragi. He understood why Rukawa wanted to take a different route. Meeting with Sakuragi is not something good to do, especially in the public and not to mention, he has this weird smile on his face. He might do something embarrassing. "Well, okay." Mitsui agreed and just as they were about to turn and walk away…….
"OI!! MITCHY!! KITSUNE!!!" Sakuragi shouted across the mall.
/Shit…/ both Mitsui and Rukawa thought together.
Sakuragi ran up to them with a big smile plastered on his face. "Hey Mitchy!" But when he saw Rukawa, his face sulked a bit. "Hmmph. Baka Kitsune!"
"Do'aho " Rukawa retorted.
"Teme… But never mind, the tensai shall let you off today! I'm in a good mood." Sakuragi growled and ignored Rukawa later on. "Watcha doing here Mitchy? And with this baka kitsune?" asked Sakuragi.
"Uh… we're just walking around to waste some time. What about you? Why are you here alone? Where's Yohei and your gang?" ask Mitsui in return.
To Mitsui's question, Sakuragi's smile grew even wider. "I'm going on a date with Haruko-san!! At long last she agreed to come out with me!" Sakuragi happily and proudly announced. Happy that Haruko went out with him and not Rukawa. But Rukawa couldn't give a fucking damn.
"Really? Congrats, Sakuragi! You succeeded the first stage!" Mitsui congratulated Sakuragi. "But… does Akagi knows?" asked Mitsui. Mitsui knew very well that Akagi would be the last person on earth to let Haruko go out with Sakuragi.
"Hmmph! This is none of Gori's business! Its tensai's date, and tensai does not need Gori's approval!" Sakuragi boasted.
"Where's Haruko anyway?" Mitsui asked while looking around.
"Oh, she's not here yet. We're going to the movies at five o'clock!" Sakuragi showed them the tickets.
Mitsui stared at Sakuragi blankly. "At five? Its only 12.30 in the afternoon!!"
"I know. But it doesn't hurt to be a few minutes earlier." Sakuragi shrugged.
Mitsui sweat dropped. "A-a few minutes earlier?"
"270 minutes to be exact." Rukawa muttered while trying to restrain himself from rolling his eyes. But he did anyway. And lucky for him, Sakuragi did not see him.
"I can't wait till Haruko comes. When we watch the movie, I'll hold her hand, and maybe even give her a hug. Yes! I'll do that…" Sakuragi fantasized to himself the scene of him and Haruko together in the cinema, while drooling all over his self. "And by the end of the day, she'll be so happy she may even give me a kiss!! NYAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Sakuragi threw his head backwards and laugh loudly to himself, attracting everyone's attention.
"Stop that bakayaru! Everyone's looking" Mitsui hissed while his face flushed. /I'm so shy to have a friend like this…./ Even Rukawa too felt embarrassed.
Sakuragi doesn't appear to have heard Mitsui. He continued laughing none stop.
"Err… we gotta go. See ya around. Happy waiting and dating!" Mitsui said and then quickly grabbed Rukawa and walked away fast.
"Should've listened to you earlier." Mitsui muttered in disgust. "Well, doesn't matter cause here we are!"
Rukawa looked and saw the arcade right in front of him. "The arcade?" Rukawa asked.
"Yep. I know some pretty good games in here that I can beat you to it. C'mon, I'll treat." Mitsui said while pulling Rukawa inside. /I had better not regret this later./ thought Rukawa.
They exchanged some tokens and started blasting on the game machines. Mitsui taught Rukawa some games and they both had a good time there. There were times that even Rukawa smiled and laughed! Mitsui was glad to see that. Until…..
"No." Rukawa protested.
"Just once….since we're already here?" Mitsui tried to persuade Rukawa.
"No."
"It wouldn't do any harm, please… and it'll be exciting!" Mitsui convinced the stubborn boy.
"No."
"Sigh, why turn down something so pleasurable? Its not that bad."
"……."
"It's your first time right? It'll be something to remember!" Mitsui tried to talk the boy in.
The boy shook his head stubbornly.
"Well, if you insist the hard way….I'll still get you"
Mitsui gave Rukawa a great tug and pulled the boy into a photo sticker booth.
"Smile!" said Mitsui. The next thing Rukawa knew was that he was dazzled by the lights. Photo stickers they just took came out from the photo machine. Mitsui took them and looked at it. Mitsui looked gorgeous as he smiled in the photo, while Rukawa, even though he didn't smile, he looked adorably cute, pouting a bit. These photos were things girls would kill for to get them.
"This is great! I'll take 3 and you take 3. Fair enough." He said while tearing the six photos into half. He gave Rukawa the remaining half.
Rukawa looked at it and said flatly, "I'm not taking it."
"Just take them." Mitsui said impatiently "Throw them away if you want, I'm keeping mine."
Rukawa looked at the photos, and then he put them safely in his pocket.
************************************************************************
Mitsui and Rukawa walked out of the arcade after tired of playing.
"Well, that was fun wasn't it?" Mitsui asked.
Rukawa said nothing but secretly, he whole-heartedly agreed with Mitsui.
Mitsui suddenly frowned. "Something doesn't feels right." He said while thinking what was it. Suddenly, a loud grumbling voice issued from his stomach.
"We haven't had lunch yet." Rukawa helpfully reminded him.
"Oh, ehehehe…. It's already 4 something. Lets grab something to eat at Mac Donalds." Mitsui suggested.
Rukawa only nodded in agreement. After all the fun he actually felt hungry.
They ordered their food in a near by McDonalds and sat at the counter while eating. They were eating peacefully until Mitsui's hand phone rang.
"Herlo?" Mitsui answered while stuffing his mouth full of French fries.
Rukawa looked up at Mitsui while his sempai answered his phone. He was wondering who had called his sempai.
"What is it?" Rukawa heard is sempai talk on the hand phone.
Then Rukawa observed as his sempai's face frowned deeply, more like highly annoyed.
"Why? Can't it wait? How important is important? I'm in a middle of something------alright, alright. I'll be in the park soon. See ya." Mitsui ended his phone call.
"Sorry Rukawa, I have to go. I'll see you again sometime, maybe tomorrow." Said Mitsui while gobbling down his remaining fries and drink. "I had fun today. Really… Jya." And Mitsui took off.
Rukawa was left drinking his coke while looking at his sempai disappear. After a short while, he too left the restaurant.
While walking back, he wondered who had called his sempai. /who could have called sempai? Its sounds like some one important. Maybe it's sempai's mom or something wanting him to make an errand. But meeting in the park? Definitely not. Could it his girlfriend?/ Rukawa's curiosity and thoughts were taking him far away.
He knows he shouldn't be nosy in other people's affairs but he just could help it. Then two figures appeared beside him on his shoulder. One angle Rukawa, and one devil Rukawa.
"Rukawa, you know you shouldn't go busy bodying in someone's affairs. Your sempai's business has nothing to do with you." Said the angle Rukawa.
/True/ thought Rukawa.
"Be honest. You know you want to just follow your sempai and find out who was it. Listen to your curiosity. You can find out whether he has a girlfriend or not too." Said the devil Rukawa.
/You've got a point./
"But messing with someone's affair is not the cold and uncaring Rukawa you are. Its not you and you have no rights to find out about other peoples personal life." The angle Rukawa stated.
/You've got a good point too./
"So? What's wrong with being 'caring' for once? Besides, he said that he would be meeting the other person in the park. The park is not his, right? So is it a crime to 'take a short walk' in the park by yourself? Hehehe…" the devil Rukawa retorted back.
/You're right./ and Rukawa head of to the park nearby.
The devil stuck his tongue out at the angle Rukawa and the both of them disappeared with a small "poof".
************************************************************************
Rukawa was in the park before he knew it and he soon regretted coming.
/I shouldn't mess with people's business./ thought Rukawa heavily. He gave up looking for his sempai and sat down on a bench, behind a big tree. Then suddenly he heard a voice behind the big tree.
"It's a bout time you came!"
The voice sounded so much like Mitsui.
"Sorry! It wasn't my fault that I missed the bus." Came another familiar voice.
Rukawa frozen. Much to his horror, the voice sounded so much like Akira Sendoh. He turned around and saw, behind the tree and true enough, standing there was Mitsui and Sendoh. /What the hell?!?/ came Rukawa's thoughts. He decided to stay for a while and see what they would say.
" Not your fault huh? You really are an idiot, Sendoh. You asked me to come here right away and yet you're 15 minutes late. I really wanted to just walk off." Mitsui said annoyingly.
"Sorry!" Sendoh apologized again.
"Forget about. What do you want? What is the urgent matter you were saying?" Mitsui asked. "You said it was a matter between life and death."
/Have they always been meeting like this?/ though Rukawa.
"Yeah…Well, I wanted to ask you something." Replied Sendoh
"What is it? You could've asked over the phone."
"No. I need to see you face to face."
/What in the world would Sendoh want to ask sempai face to face?/ Rukawa had not meant to eavesdrop but he just couldn't help it. He hid behind the tree and listen tentatively.
"What is it then? This has better be good." Mitsui growled while he and Sendoh sat on the bench opposite Rukawa's behind the big tree.
Sendoh took a deep breath and said, "I wanted to tell you that I'm in love with someone. This someone is a really nice guy. He is absolutely the cutest and most adorable guy in the world. He is very sweet too. I've known him for quite sometime. And this guy is a really talented basketball player. He is a great 3 pointer too."
Rukawa's heart broke. So Sendoh is in love with his sempai. Rukawa got up, and silently got away. He has heard enough, and he doesn't want to hear his sempai's reply, in case it hurt more. Now that he realized that he was in love with his dearest sempai too.
Mitsui was in absolute shock. He didn't know what to say. Then he found his voice and said, "Well, I-I'm in a shock. I never thought this would happen…."
Sendoh looked at him and sighed. "Yeah, I myself never though this would happen too. So what do you think?"
"Er..ah…um…. I-I'm glad that you told me. But," Mitsui pulled a deep breath before continuing, "I'm in love with someone else already."
Sendoh looked at Mitsui in absolute shock and surprise.
"I-I….." Mitsui was struggling to look for words to say. Somehow, his brain couldn't think of anything but he was cut off by Sendoh.
"No, no, no, no!!" Said Sendoh waving his arms wildly. "It's not you that I'm in love with!" Sendoh tried to explain.
"I know its hard—What?!? Not me?" Mitsui felt his face growing red as a tomato. "Oh, then who?"
Sendoh sighed and said "its Jin from Kainan…."
"Oh!! Yeah, I forgot that he was a 3 pointer too." Mitsui said while feeling a bit disappointed but 95% relieved it wasn't him Sendoh loved. "But, if its him you're in love with, why are you telling me? Shouldn't you be telling him?" ask Mitsui, confused.
"I know. I wanted to tell him very much, but I'm afraid to do so. That's why I'm asking you for advice. If you've noticed, I've been very attached to you these few weeks, because I'm trying to find out how Jin would behave and react and so on…." Sendoh explained.
"Huh? I don't get it. Why would you learn how Jin would react if you're close to me?" Mitsui asked, getting more and more confused at the moment.
"Put is this way, there's quite some things the you and Jin have in common. For example, the both of you are excellent 3 pointers, the both of you are nice and friendly, the both of you are in the last year of school, and the both of you are good looking even though I think Jin is cuter, and Jin is more polite too, and he is….." Sendoh explained more in detail.
"Okay! Okay! I get the picture, you don't have to be that straight forward y'know," Mitsui cut Sendoh in annoy.
"Oh, hehehe, sorry. Anyway, so I thought if I got close to you I might learn more about Jin." Said Sendoh sheepishly.
"I see your point. But first, you gotta know that I am me, myself. I'm not Jin and so I wouldn't know how Jin acts and behaves, and further more, I can't read his thoughts. Even though me and Jin are quite similar, but we might, in fact, we are two very different people." Mitsui said slowly to Sendoh who was paying full attention.
"So what should I do? I'm afraid that he will reject me." Sendoh voiced the problem that has been troubling him for a long time.
"Well, getting closer to me wouldn't help a single bit. So I suggest that you just tell honestly and ask his opinion on this." Mitsui advised Sendoh. "By the way, how do you know that he will turn you down?"
Sendoh's face became flustered. "Well, I don't know if its true, but I heard that he… he's going out with someone else. And that someone else is Maki, his captain."
"Yeah, I heard that rumour too, but like I said, it's just a rumour and no one 'cept Jin and Maki knows whether it is true or not. I still think you should just tell him for heaven's sake. At least you'll know the answer and won't be bothered anymore. Even if he turns you down, you will feel better than hiding this any longer. Honesty is the best policy." Mitsui said, like a professional love counsellor.
"Right, you've got a point there." Sendoh's face brightened up. "Thanks Mitsui-sempai! Now I know what I should do."
"You're welcomed." Mitsui said in return.
"And one more question, just now you said that you were in love with another person. Who is that?" Sendoh asked in a very busybody manner.
Mitsui's face blushed bright red. "That," he said irritatingly, "Never you mind. Just go and tell Jin bout your feelings."
"Oh well, okay! I'll go now! Thanks again Mitsui-sempai! Don't know what I'll do without you! Bye!" Said Sendoh enthusiastically and off he went.
"See ya and good luck!" Mitsui called after.
Even though this Sendoh-Jin thing was none of his business, but he still hope that things would work out well and his advice would work. /Maybe I should follow my own advice as well…./ thought Mitsui as he sat on the park bench.
