A first time Chapter 2
Fuji had followed him around practically the whole day and it was quite frankly starting to get beyond annoying.
"Hora, a lollipop." the cheerful voice came, a strawberry flavoured lollipop in one hand. "I got it for you."
"Thank you." Ryoma muttered, and to Fuji's surprise accepted it and started eating on it right away.
"Ah, a break is quite nice, isn't it?" Fuji then said, not getting an answer. Ryoma just sucked on the lollipop.
"Especially since practice can be so hard…" the tensai trailed off, watching the absent face upon his boyfriend. The object went smoothly in and out of his mouth, the small lips pressing against it and sucked on the top-
"Fuji-senpai!" Fuji pulled himself back to reality and lifted his look to the other boy's eyes instead. "What is with you? I called your name at least five times. You were staring at me for so long."
The tensai shrugged, at the same time trying to clear his head from all inspiring thoughts. He silently wondered how he couldn't have noticed Ryoma callinghis name, since he had hadhis attention focused on the smaller boy's lips all thetime.
"Don't I always stare at you?" Fuji then countered, and this time it was the smaller boy's turn to shrug.
Fuji inhaled deeply, seeing the boy continuing to please –eat, he continued to eat on the lollipop.
"Anyway, Tezuka-buchou…" Ryoma started, noticing Fuji wasn't looking him in the eyes anymore. The smaller boy gritted his teeth together, if the stick in his mouth wouldn't have prevented him, of course.
Why wasn't Fuji listening! How many times would he have to do this!
The stick threatened to break, and he saw Fuji flinch to that. 'What is he so upset about?' Ryoma moved in closer, about to slap his boyfriend when the tensai grabbed his wrist in time.
"Now that's no way to treat your senpai." Fuji's amused voice said.
"Stop spacing out! I'm trying to tell you something!" Ryoma almost shouted, in his frustration the candy flew out of his mouth and Fuji catched it with his free hand just before it would've landed on the ground.
Slowly he placed the lollipop back between the parted lips. "Careful." he mumbled and Ryoma bit it a couple of times. If Fuji's face showed any expressions, apart from the occasional different smiles, the word 'ouch' would have been written all over it right now.
Ryoma gave a sigh, sounding more like a irritated groan, biting the rest of the lollipop to pieces and swallowing them then. He wasn't an expert in Fujiness, but he was the closest anyone was to it being the boyfriend and all, and judging by the way Fuji had been staring at his mouth Ryoma decided to quickly get rid off the candy.
And it worked. Fuji's eyes were back on his again. In a squinted form, but they werestill there.
"Tezuka-buchou called us to gather soon. He has something to say." Ryoma then finally said, noting that he had the older boy's attention the way he wanted it.
"Hai." Fuji just smiled and got up, grabbing his hand to help him up.
As soon as he was up on his feet, Ryoma withdrew his hand from the tensai's.
"There's no way I'll walk over there hand in hand with you, don't even dream about it!" he then stated and started trailing towards the courts. Fuji followed after him, sending his boyfriend teasing gazes that were sure to be noticed by the younger boy.
Tezuka was informing the regulars about practice tomorrow, but Fuji just took the opportunity to continue his game and shine intense smiles over to the smaller boy standing across from him. Ryoma was still pretending he hadn't noticed any of them, although they both knew Ryoma was well aware of the fact that he was being checked out throughly all the time.
"Because of this morning practice is cancelled for tomorrow. Have a nice weekend." Tezuka stated and Fuji shot Ryoma a knowing look, hearing that. The younger boy just tugged his cap down on his eyes, starting to trail after Momo towards the locker room.
"Echizen, wanna grab a burger?" Momo smirked, noticing his small kouhai.
"Sure." Ryoma answered and was immediately hugged by Eiji from behind.
"Great, let's all go!" Eiji said, before showing his pouting-face. "But no senpai's treat this time!" he then warned and Ryoma just shrugged.
Momo again was a bit disappointed at this fact.
"Where are you going?" Fuji's voice suddenly asked and the three boy's turned to face the tensai. Ryoma bit his teeth together. 'This can never be good. Fuji is showing an interest.'
"Ah, Fuji-senpai, we were just gonna go out for burgers!" Momo then replied, showing his usual smirk again. "Wanna come?"
Fuji beamed a shining smile, gazing mostly Ryoma now. "Sure, but I only treat my boyfriend." Blue eyes opened in a warning as he said that and Momo jerked slightly.
"Of course, of course! No problem, no problem at all!"
Ryoma was about to tug his cap even lower when he noticed it didn't go any further,so he just started tochange his clothesinstead. That'd keep his mind off things.
"Nya! Fuji! Are you having pictures of Ochibi in your locket?" Eiji bounced over to Fuji, who immediately closed his eyes and let his smile take place again. "So cuute, is that you and Ochibi?"
"Ah. We were out on a picnic when I took that one." Fuji was only happy to reply, knowing his young boyfriend was probably getting in an even better mood than before.
Ryoma had never changed so fast, and with a short 'I'll wait for you outside' he left the locker room to be able to curse where no one would hear him.
"Shall we go then?" Fuji soon said behind him and Ryoma looked over his shoulder to see Momo, Eiji and Oishi standing next to the smiling creature.
The youngest boy started to walk, not failing to notice how Fuji caught up with him and inserted a hand in his. Ryoma jumped apart and glared at the boy in question.
"Fuji-senpai, what do you-" the small kouhai was cut off by Momo's mocking laughter.
"Oi, Echizen, you don't need to be embarrassed, we all know you are in a relationship with Fuji-senpai! It's not like anyone in the school could have missed!"
Ryoma would've strangled the tall, according to him, idiot if Fuji hadn't taken the chance to clasp their hands together andpreventedhim from actually doing it.
The road from the school to the hamburger place had never felt longer, especially if you were the youngest Seigaku regular. When they finally reached their destination Ryoma was quick to order and made sure to get a seat opposite from Fuji at the table.
Momo seated himself dangerously next to Fuji and the Golden Pair sat down next to each other, Eiji practically hanging over both Oishi on his left and his small 'Ochibi' on his right.
Ryoma ate in silence, as Eiji was the one keeping a conversation up almost all by himself.
"Nyah, and taste this Oishi, this is why I took the fish burger instead of the chicken…" Eiji offered his partner a bite of his burger and Oishi tasted it carefully, almost blushing his cheeks off in the process. "…although there's nothing wrong with the chicken either, but I personally think they make better fish than chicken here, when again in McDonalds…-"
Ryoma had long ago tuned out the loud chatter and was concentrating on his drink instead. Apparently Fuji had also gotten bored with the monolog Eiji was having and decided to get on someone's case. The boyfriend was the natural choice.
The smaller tennis genius almost chocked on his drink when he suddenly felt a gentle caress sneak up his foot to his knee. The provoked boy shot a death glare at the smiling face, trying to move out of reach from the teasing foot under the table.
His plan failed, only giving the tensai access to brush against his thigh instead and move further in towards the area between his legs.
Ryoma gave a forceful kick under the table, irritated with all the teasing he was put under extra much lately.
Fuji burst into an amused chuckle as Momo screamed out in pain next to him, hugging his leg. "What was that for, Echizen?"
The smaller boy wanted to sink under the table, noticing that also the Golden Pair had given their attention over to them.
"No reason." Ryoma then mumbled, only upsetting even more the already upset senpai.
"'NO REASON?' You just felt like kicking me! Jeez, a little further to the right and you would've...-" Momo screamed, cutting his sentence in the middle."…You could've hurt me real bad, I tell you!"
Ryoma gave up. He wasn't going to win this. With a quick 'Excuse me' he got up and walked out of the place.
"What is with Ochibi today?" Eiji wondered and Fuji's smile was still wider than normally.
"Who knows." the tensai then said, getting up as well. "Ja, I hope you don't mind if I go and find out." he then added before turning on his heels to walk in the direction his boyfriend had.
"Here Momo! Fuji and Ochibi left these, eat up!" Eiji consoled the black haired boy, giving the junior the couple's still remaining food.
Fuji beamed another smile hearing that. He hadn't planned to bring Ryoma back there anyway when he found him, so Eiji and Momo were welcome to eat all they wanted from their trays.
Blue eyes went through the crowd in front of him. No Ryoma in sight. Where could he have gone? Fuji's expression lightened, seeing a tennis shop not so far away and he made his way over there.
Opening the door, the gaze immediately roamed through the room, but withoutany luck and the tensai almost gave a sigh.
"I knew you'd come after me." he could then hear an annoyed and familiar voice say and Ryoma got up from behind a shelf with two shoes in his hands.
Fuji's face turned into a cheerful smile and he stalked up next to his boyfriend.
"What are you getting?" he asked and Ryoma sat down to finish testing the new shoes. "Hmm, do they feel good?" the taller boy then continued and kneeled down.
"They fit." Ryoma walked around the shelf once and seated himself then down again. Fuji pressed the front down on one of the shoes.
"Well, there's atleast plenty of room for your toes." he then said, approvingly.
"Then I'm taking them." Ryoma replied and changed back into his own shoes.
Leaving the shop, Fuji took a hold on the smaller boy's arm. "I'd also have a few errands to run."
"Huh? Well then, see you later." Ryoma tried to walk away, but Fuji held him firmly. "Fuji-senpai, I have homework."
"We can do them when we get home, I'll help you."
Ryoma sighed. Really not what he had wanted to hear, but gave up and followed the older boy.
They entered a quite big store and Fuji dragged the other boy with him to a couple of shirts hanging nearby. Picking out a beige, a white and then a smaller red one, Fuji then dragged Ryoma into a fitting room.
"I could wait outside." Ryoma said hastily, only to be seated on a stool inside the small room.
"Now you can't do that. I picked this one out for you." Fuji held up the red shirt in front of him.
"There's no way I'm trying that on!"
Fuji's smile faded a bit as he checked the shirt. "Why not? Don't you like it?"
"…" Ryoma decided it was probably fatal to answer. He did certainly not want to change in front of the knowing glare of his senpai.
Fuji gave a demonstrating sigh full of fake disappointment, hanging the abandoned shirt on the door. Placing his bag down next to Ryoma, he then unbuttoned his own shirt and handed it over to the smaller boy.
Golden eyes widened as the boy absently glanced the figure in front of him. That slim, but still so muscular chest. One well trained stomach, showing some well earned six-packs. Eyes followed the lines down to just above the belt of the school uniform.
His stare was interrupted when Fuji pulled the beige shirt over his head,making those muscles stretched a bit before relaxing again and then suddenly the beige fabric covered his view. Ryoma blinked seeing Fuji turn a little in front of the mirror, checking if it fit well.
"What do you think?" Fuji then directed a smile his way. Ryoma gave the boy a quick look.
"Don't you already have enough beige shirts?" he then answered, his voice indicating he was bored, or cranky as it sounded to Fuji.
"Mmm, I guess you're right." the older boy then said, removing the piece of clothing and reaching for the white shirt instead.
"This one then?" he asked after slipping it on.
Ryoma glanced the boy again. "Don't you have enough white ones as well?"
"See, now you're just being difficult." Fuji chuckled and opened a couple of the top buttons on the shirt. "I can wear it open as well."
Ryoma twitched a bit where he sat, covered under bags and some shirts.
"Maybe I should get some pants as well…"
Ryoma swallowed. The thought of seeing Fuji take off his pants made him feel very uncomfortable, especially from this close a view.
"Maybe you should not."
Fuji turned an oh-so confused look his way. "Why not? There are probably some tight lether pants here that would-"
"Fuji-senpai!"
"I'm just kidding." Fuji said in a sweet voice, placing an equally sweet smile on his lips.
Ryoma stood up. Holding onto Fuji's school shirt. "I gotta go. I don't have time for this."
"Ah, let me just buy this one, then we're off." Fuji then replied, unbuttoning the last buttons and removing the clothing. Ryoma handed him his shirt, eyes still not gazing the older boy's face, also meaning he missed the awareful smile Fuji shone for a second or so.
Fuji went and paid while Ryoma waited impatiently outside the shop, hoping this would soon be over with.
"So, shall we go then?" Fuji said coming up to the boy and Ryoma fell into pace with him. Ryoma couldn't help smirking to the fact that Fuji was unable to hold his hand or anything now when the tensai was in one hand holding a shopping bag and in the other one holding his tennis bag in place on his shoulder.
"That looks heavy, shall I carry it for you?" Fuji asked, meaning the plastic bag Ryoma was carrying from the tennis shop.
"I've got it."
"We could unite bags…" Fuji then suggested, lifting on his own plastic bag.
"It's just shoes, it's not heavy at all." the smaller boy protested, but his boyfriend had already taken the bag from him.
"There." the other boy smiled and Ryoma suppressed a sigh. They walked again in silence for a while, before Fuji suddenly took a halt.
"What now?" Ryoma asked in a not-as-amused-as-you-are voice.
"Ah, there's just a few things I'd like to get from here…-" Fuji explained, turning towards a very interesting looking shop. Ryoma identified it as some sort of a sex shop and desperately grabbed for the taller boy's sleeve.
"W-what are you doing? What do you think you have to get from there?" he almost shouted, face going from pale to totally red.
Fuji's smile only twitched a couple of times, but Ryoma could tell the tensai was rolling of laughter inside.
"Won't you tag along? It will only take a minute."
"NO." Ryoma tightened his grip on the sleeve.
"Hmm, you can wait here as well." Fuji continued and tried to turn around.
"No, Fuji! I have…" Ryoma searched for the word.
"Homework?" Fuji smiled and gave a dramatic sigh. "I guess it can't be helped. We'll just have to reschedule this then…good thing I'm always prepared."
Ryoma gave a fast nod, pretending he didn't hear that last comment. In his mind he was making a mental note to avoid that store in the future.
