Ryoma had finally finished his 100th lap ordered by Tezuka. He panted hard as he grabbed his water bottle from Horio and drank in long gulps. He felt sweat drip down his face as his blackish green hair stuck to his cheeks. Then his head turned to the side as he noticed Fuji staring at him with those fox-like eyes. It was kind of creepy, which gave Ryoma shivers. Ryoma turned his head away from Fuji, as he continued to drink from his water bottle only to find Fuji standing right in front of him.
"Ack!" Ryoma dropped his water bottle at the sight of Fuji. The water inside the bottle seemed to fly everywhere as it landed on Ryoma's shirt. Fuji bent down and picked up the water bottle and handed it back to Ryoma.
"Great, just great," Ryoma thought as he drenched the water out of his shirt by squeezing it. He watched as the squeezed out contents dropped onto the cement ground, being absorbed by the ground as it turned to the color of dark gray.
"You look tired Echizen," Fuji smiled at Ryoma, as Ryoma lifted of his head from squeezing and glared back at the older boy furiously.
"Not really." Ryoma replied coolly.
"Oh? Is that so?" Fuji continued to smile. "Practice is almost over. Why don't we go for ice cream afterwards?"
"I think I'll pass." Ryoma wiped his remaining sweat with a towel.
"Pass…..you say?" Fuji's eyes opened slowly as they pierced into Ryoma's.
"I think I'll go eat ice cream after school today." Ryoma hastily said, as he stood up.
"Good. Why don't we go change?" Fuji grabbed Ryoma's hand as he squeezed it.
"Really senpai, must you hold my hand like that? I'm not a little kid," Ryoma was a bit peeved as he felt Fuji's hand clumped tightly around his.
"But you're such a cute slave!" Fuji smiled, as they arrived to the locker room.
"Haha, Echizen is a lil baby!" Momo taunted out at the sight of Fuji coming in the locker room with his hand around Ryoma's.
"I AM NOT!" Ryoma shouted furiously as he threw off Fuji's hand and stomped over to his locker. He gruffily threw off his sweaty shirt as he stuffed it into his bag. He hastily put on his school collar shirt and grabbed his pants. Ryoma rushed through while putting on his pants which caused him to trip over and land on someone whom he did not want to land on…..
"Ah. Echizen, you are so heavy and don't you think you should move your hand?" Fuji smiled at the boy as Ryoma realized that he was on top of Fuji, despite the fact that his left hand was on Fuji's right thigh and the other hand was clumped tightly around the hem of his school pants.
In horror, Ryoma hastily took away his hand as if his hand had just been contaminated. His face turned bright pink as he glared at Fuji.
"Sorry." Ryoma murmured as he stood up. However Fuji was still lying on the ground. Ryoma stared at him blankly.
"Well? Aren't you going to help me up?" Fuji asked, still smiling. He looked utterly sexy lying down spread out on the floor.
Ryoma silently bent down as he reached for Fuji's right hand. He slowly pulled him up as Fuji was standing right in front of him.
"Thank you…." Fuji paused as he leaned towards Ryoma's ear, which made him feel tickled. "….slave…."
Ryoma fumed with anger as he stomped back to his locker. He pulled up his pants as he quickly walked out of the locker room and kicked a random fanta can.
"DAMN IT!" Ryoma cried out as he checked to see if anyone was around.
"Damn what Echizen?"
Ryoma turned around to see Fuji coming out of the locker room.
"Shit," Ryoma murmured to himself. Then he turned to Fuji. "Nothing….."
"I see." Fuji lifted one eyebrow. "Anyways, shall we?"
Ryoma shrugged as he slowly waited for Fuji to walk on, so he could totter along silently behind him, but for some reason Fuji was not moving. Ryoma looked up as he placed his cap on, as Fuji was staring at him.
"Come on Echizen, it's not fun if you just follow me," Fuji smiled happily as he grabbed Ryoma's left arm.
"……..." Ryoma was a bit disturbed to see his fellow senpai holding onto his arm as if they were going on a date.
"It's like we are going on a date!" Fuji smiled.
"Ah, hell no….." Ryoma thought to himself. He couldn't believe this was happening. He heard soft murmurings around him as he felt as if everyone was staring at him.
"Damn you….." Ryoma mumbled to himself, as Fuji squeezed his arm even harder. The two were finally out of Seigaku, as they were walking on the sidewalk, straight towards the ice cream shop.
"You know Echizen, you don't have to be so stiff like that," Fuji looked to the side, as he smiled at the people passing by.
"…….." Ryoma ignored his senpai as he continued to walk on. It was best to just endure this until everything was all over. Then Ryoma turned stiff. "Fuji senpai…..please….not in public….."
Fuji's hand had slowly moved from Ryoma's arm to Ryoma's hand. The older boy's hand fit perfectly in the smaller boy's hand.
"Why not?" Fuji smiled at the boys snickering at the pair. Then they finally arrived to the ice cream shop. "What will you like Echizen?"
Ryoma ignored Fuji as he let go of his hand and went to order. "Strawberry."
As soon as Ryoma got his order, he quickly went out of the ice cream shop, as he decided to wait for Fuji there. A few long minutes later, Fuji finally arrived with a heavily green colored ice cream. He licked along happily, as Ryoma stared at the ice cream, wondering what flavor it was.
"Would you like to try some?" Fuji offered.
"No." Ryoma stated, but before he knew it the ice cream was at his mouth, forcing his lips to peel and taste the ice cream.
"Do you like?" Fuji asked.
It took awhile for Ryoma to distinguish the actual flavor Fuji was eating for his taste buds were covered with strawberry. Then a few seconds later….
"Argh!!" Ryoma's hand let go of his strawberry ice cream as it fell onto his shirt. The taste of spicy wasabi has gone through his whole system. Who knew wasabi ice cream existed…..
"Are you okay Echizen?" Fuji quickly reacted, as Ryoma started coughing out the ice cream.
"I'm fine." Ryoma muttered through the pain of the spiciness.
"Your shirt is a mess. My house is nearby….." Fuji smiled. "I'll lend you a shirt."
"I'm really fine." Ryoma mumbled. Who knew if the day could go worse…
"No your not. Here let's go," Fuji grabbed Ryoma's school bag with one hand and grabbed Ryoma's hand with the other.
The next minute, Ryoma found himself sitting on the couch of Fuji's house. He looked around the house and noticed a whole mess of family pictures scattered around. It was quite amusing to look at the picture containing Yuuta.
"Echizen?" Fuji called out from another room.
"Yes?" Echizen replied in his seat.
"Come here for a sec, I want to see if this shirt will fit you."
Ryoma stood up reluctantly. He really didn't want to go into Fuji's room. He felt as if that room was dangerous.
"Come on, hurry up now," Fuji called out. "Slave~!"
Ryoma winced at the name, as he trudged his feet along and went into Fuji's room. The room looked pretty much neat and normal as he looked across to see a messy room. Ryoma assumed that Fuji's room was the cleaner one and stepped in to see a figure sleeping in the bed.
The figure in the bed moaned a bit as it moved around. Ryoma heard the wrinkling sounds the bed made as the figure continued to move. What the hell was Fuji senpai doing?
"Echizen! Why aren't you coming?" Ryoma heard Fuji's voice once more from elsewhere. If Fuji was somewhere else, then…..who was in the bed?
Ryoma froze as the figure slowly rose up.
"Hmm….Syusuke?" An older girl stared straight at him. The next minute she rose and eyebrow. "Don't tell me. Let me guess who you are."
Ryoma stared at the girl.
"Your probably Yuuta's friend. A pervert, eh?"
Ryoma's face turned red. He didn't know if it was from embarrassment or from anger. He wanted to scream at this woman in front of him, but he also wanted to run away.
"Ah! Echizen, what are you doing in my sister's room?" Fuji asked as he peered through the door.
"Syusuke, this is your friend?"
"Yes, sorry about that sis, go back to your beauty sleep." Fuji smiled as he pulled Ryoma away.
"I never knew you had a sister." Ryoma mumbled.
"Well, yeah, I do," Fuji answered as they went into his room. Fuji quickly went into the closet as he pulled out a pink shirt.
Ryoma stared at the pinkness. "Don't tell me I'm wearing that…."
"Oh no! Not this shirt. This shirt is a shirt I used to wear when I was a little boy." Fuji smiled as he folded it and left it on his desk. "I just treasure this shirt.
Then Fuji went back in his closet and came out with a regular blue t-shirt. "Try this on."
Ryoma took the shirt as he stared at Fuji. Fuji stared back at him.
"Well. Do you mind?" Ryoma asked coolly.
"No, no, not at all." Fuji smiled, as he gestured Ryoma to continue.
"I think I will change in your bathroom." Ryoma walked towards Fuji's restroom as he hastily got out of his ice cream covered school shirt and into the blue shirt. He smelled Fuji's scent coming off of the shirt to him.
Ryoma quickly got of the bathroom, as he walked back into Fuji's room.
"Echizen. You look so cute!" Fuji cried out.
"….." Ryoma paused. He couldn't say it. He had to hold it in. If he said it then he would have to go through 'that' again.
"You look like a blue teddy bear," Fuji smiled warmly.
"Shut up." Ryoma paused. Shit. He said it.
Fuji's eyes happily opened as he smiled at the boy. "Uh-oh. Echizen-kun has just said the magic words."
Fuji grabbed the hem of Ryoma's shirt as he pulled him down and kissed him. Ryoma didn't know whether to resist or remain still and endure it, but after a few seconds he couldn't take it anymore. Wasn't this kiss going on a bit too long?
Ryoma started to resist the older boy as he tried to pull back, but that just made Fuji kiss him harder. Then the door slammed open.
"A-Aniki…."
