Summary: The Shohoku basketball team is sent to a vacation in celebration of Rukawa's upcoming birthday. Fate is playing with Mitsui Hisashi and he doesn't seem to like it very much.. at least, not yet ;)
Hands Down : Chapter One
It was yet another lovely day for the Shohoku basketball team. Noticed something? Yes. The word 'lovely'. It's a surprise that they're all in a perfect condition that day and cheesy, anxious smiles were plastered on their faces. There's an exception for Rukawa Kaede though. Sleeping while waiting for the bus to arrive is his definition of 'lovely'.
After moments of excited murmurs and anxious chitchats, the PRIVATE bus finally arrived.
"Nyahahaha! Finally!" exclaimed Sakuragi Hanamichi as he happily pranced his way inside the bus singing his little invented song which has something like "I'm the most handsome tensai in this whole damn world" in its lyrics.
Where are they heading to anyway? They're going to one of the most famous beach resorts in Japan. Why? Because it's Rukawa's birthday on January 1. And incase you're wondering, it was December 29 that day. Two days and two nights before the kitsune's birthday. His mom decided to send them there to celebrate Rukawa's birthday along with a New Year celebration-- her treat, of course. How lucky those warfreaks are.
!- Hisashi Mitsui's POV -!
Flashback
"Arrgh!" I yelled out with my jaws dropping as I looked at the room plan Ayako made for us. Guess what? I get to stay with birthday boy Rukawa Kaede. 'Birthday boy' my ass! I know this is so rude of me because he's the one who's going to spend for all this. Okay, maybe not him-- it was his mom. Still, they are related. On with my point-- this guy is plain boring, arrogant, annoying, cold and bastardic. And this boring, arrogant, annoying, cold and bastardic guy is my freaking room partner! Damn.
"I don't get it, Ayako! Why do you have to decided who's our room partner?"
"I did not decide for you, Mitsui. I guess you weren't paying attention. You decided for yourselves. Want a proof? Fine. Guys, who do you want as your room partner?"
Surprisingly, everyone else but me and Rukawa, pointed at the ones who's beside them at the moment.
"See? Everyone chose their partners by themselves. Except YOU and Rukawa."
"Oh.."
"Consider yourself lucky, Mitsui. You're with our birthday boy. Hehe."
I heard Miyagi say. Lucky for him these people are around. If not, I would've kicked him moments ago along with Sakuragi.
I gave off a long agonizing sigh of defeat and sat down beside my partner. What am I so upset about anyway? Oh right. Because he's going to bore me to death. So before he does that, I'm going to give him a free "how to be a not-boring individual and be a heart throb like me instead" lesson.
"Listen up, kiddo. You're--.."
Great. So much for our first lesson. The kitsune is --drumroll-- asleep. Am I supposed to be surprised? Hell, no. His elbows were resting on the window edges and his head on his palm leaning against the window's fragile glass. His eyes were closed in a mellow slumber. He's so.. FUCK! This is insane. And the most dreadful thing that could ever happen to me, did happen. The goddamned cupid dude shot my heart with a stupid arrow and..
End of Flashback
.. that's when I had this crush on the super rookie. Insane, but true. That's also why I'm lying awake here in this bed, with the kitsune on the other bed beside mine. He's only a few inches away from me and I can snuggle up to him anytime-- but I can't. And all because I have this huge goddamned crush on him and hopefully, he feels the same. Oh fuck. To hell with that thought. Too impossible. I lay flat on my back, my eyes on the ceiling and my hands behind my head. I can feel Kaede's hot breaths. I called him Kaede. I'm insane. Oh well..
I gave of yet another sigh. This night is so wild, just because of the mere fact that Kaede is sleeping beside me. Yet, it's so calm and dull and boring and you name it. I could almost imagine what would happen if we were, what you call, lovers at the moment. Yum. He would snuggle up close to me and I'll run my fingers up and down his pale yet smooth skin.
Speaking of which.. What the hell's brushing against my leg? Smooth, silky and mild. I gulped as I sat up to see what it was. To my surprise, it was Kaede's right leg. Yeah, brushing against mine. I blinked my eyes. I never knew a guy had legs as smooth as this. And because of that, I guess he must be dreaming. It was so un-Kaede-ish to just brush his leg on another guy's leg, right?
Just then, my heart began to race, beating faster and faster and faster every second. I was doing my best to resist this urge to touch him and explore every bit of him. I tried to convince myself that I'm going to be fine-- but I clearly am NOT. Ayako.. Why did you have to pair me up with this tease-me-to-death bastard!? Waaaaa.. Breathe, Hisashi. Whew. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to do something.
"Rukawa.." I whispered within the deafening silence of the room. He didn't twitch, he didn't grunt-- he did NOTHING. I figured he's just pretending to be sleeping so I had to go on with this 'speech' I have kept for so long. And that night, I confessed everything-- that I want him and I crave for him. I peeked over this sleeping figure and holy crap. He IS asleep. So I was wrong. I was talking to a sleeping idiot all this time. Stupid, ne? I gave off another tormented sigh and lay flat on my bed again. My hopes are too high. This is way too impossible. But I'll never know if I don't find out for myself, right? Right. Tomorrow, we'll have the preparations for the the ice prince's birthday. I'll surely steal even a split second just to spill out everything in front of him looking like a lovesick idiot. And I'll make sure he's awake.
Nothing can go wrong. Hehe.
Breathe in for luck,
Breathe in so deep,
This air is blessed,
You share with me.
This night is wild,
So calm and dull,
These hearts they race,
From self control.
Your legs are smooth,
As they graze mine,
We're doing fine,
We're doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
whichever you prefer.
