(Good grief. This story is taking a really weird turn of events. I no longer know how it will end. Gomen minna! Question is – Will Ryoma x Fuji end up together or will Eiji x Ryoma be together. Poor Oishi too. I feel so bad for him. He really does love Eiji. Oh well, let's just see what happens. Also, it really is hard for me to see Ryoma or Eiji as Seme. I start picturing evil things with those two. O.o And Ryoma Seme to Eiji? We shall see… I will write Chapter 6 on the weekend. I hope you all like the story so far. And thank you much for all the reviews.)


Chapter 5


"What do I do Fuji-senpai" he asked rather shyly.

Fuji placed his hands gently on the boys face, asking. "Are you sure Ryoma?" Ryoma nodded. "Close your eyes then." He said as he leaned in slowly, placing his lips gently on the younger boys lips, mouth closed. He pulled away, looking at the boy. "Ryoma, relax your mouth. I won't hurt you." He leaned back in placing his lips once more on the boys. After several kisses like this, he decided to really kiss him. He licked at Ryoma's lower lip, earning him a small moan. He laid Ryoma down on the bed, positioning himself on top. He licked once more at the crease, gently parting the boys' lips, sliding his tongue in. Ryoma panicked, his hands flying up to Fuji's chest, pushing him away slightly. Fuji smiled, amused at being able to really teach the boy everything. "Ryoma relax. Stick out your tongue." Ryoma looked at him with wide eyes, unsure of anything. He complied, sticking his tongue out at Fuji. "Ne Ryoma just relaxed and let me play." He said as he lowered his head grabbing a hold of Ryoma's tongue with his mouth. He drug his teeth over the boys' tongue gently, coaxing another moan from him. He smiled once again before sucking on the sweet tasting tongue of the boy lying beneath him. Ryoma moaned again grabbing at Fuji's arms, gripping them tightly at the new sensation. "You like that?" Fuji asked softly. Ryoma softly moaned, nodding his head. "I'm going to slip my tongue into your mouth again Ryoma. Just relax and feel my tongue. Let our tongues touch and caress each other." Fuji whispered as he bent his head down slowly. He waited for Ryoma to relax again before slowly slipping his tongue into his mouth. He slid his tongue over Ryoma's, teasing and coaxing the boy to do the same. Ryoma did what Fuji was doing with his tongue. He began to get the hang of the kissing that Fuji was teaching him. Their kissing was slow and teasing. Seductive. He began to notice a new sensation in his lower region. He was becoming erect. He had felt Fuji's erection the entire time the older boy was laying on him. Fuji realized then that Ryoma had noticed his throbbing erection and smiled inwardly. He moved his hips slightly, just enough to make a little friction between the two boys erections, causing Ryoma to gasp and moan rather loudly. Fuji broke the kiss, looking at Ryoma with a smile. "Ryoma, you should be a little more quite. You're family is down stairs." He whispered. As Ryoma nodded, there was a knock at the door and then Nanako saying, "Ryoma-kun, dinner's ready. Will your friend be staying for dinner?" Ryoma looked at Fuji who shook his head no. "No, he won't. I'll be down in a few minutes." He said. Thanking the gods that his voice sound semi normal. Nanako said ok and then walked back down the stairs. Fuji kissed Ryoma once more and then climbed off him. He stood there next to the bed watching Ryoma, fixing his clothes. He held out his hand to help Ryoma up. The younger boy laid there for a moment, staring at his senpai. He grabbed the hand and was pulled up off the bed to stand in front of the older boy. "Tomorrow; after practice?" Fuji asked with a smile. Ryoma looked at the boy with a quizzical look. Fuji reached his hand up to caress Ryoma's face saying, "To practice a little more on your kissing." The younger boy nodded and watched his senpai pick up his bag and sling it over his shoulder. He turned to walk toward the bedroom door and was stopped by a hand reaching out to grab his arm. "Fuji-senpai?" Fuji turned to the boy and smiled. "Thank you," Ryoma said softly. Fuji leaned his head down to capture the younger boys' lips once more in a soft kiss. "You're welcome Ryoma. I will see you tomorrow at school." Ryoma walked the boy to the front door and saying their good byes. Ryoma slept that night with no dreams.

The next several days Ryoma spent in complete confusion. He was torn between the dreams of Kikumaru-senpai and the practice sessions with Fuji-senpai. Everyday for the last few days, Fuji had been coming over to Ryoma's after practice to teach him kissing. They began to explore each other more; the sessions becoming more bold. Ryoma didn't know what to do. He began to dread when Fuji left his house in the evenings. On the fifth day of their practice sessions, Fuji turned the tables. "Ryoma…Would you…like…to spend…the…night at…my house…tomorrow evening?" he asked between kisses. When Ryoma hesitated, Fuji stopped kissing him, pulling back to look at the boy. He saw a look of confusion. He smiled, running a hand down the naked chest of the younger boy. "We will be able to practice more. We won't have to worrying about being so quiet either." He whispered softly. "Demo Fuji-senpai, what about your family? Won't they hear us?" The young boy asked. Fuji kissed Ryoma hard once more and then crawled off him, getting his things together. He turned to see Ryoma standing there and smiled. "No one will be there." He leaned down and kissed the boy once more. "I will tell my parents to not expect me home then." Ryoma said. Ryoma walked him to the front door, telling him good bye. He went upstairs to get his things ready for his sleep over with Fuji. The next morning at breakfast he told his parents that he would be staying at Fuji-senpai's house and that if there was a problem he would call. He cleared his dishes and headed to school.

After morning practice, Eiji waited for Ryoma. The freshman walked out of the shower and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the red head sitting on the bench waiting for him. "Yes Kikumaru-senpai?" the boy asked as he dried himself off. Eiji sat there for a few moments watching Ryoma. He finally spoke. "Ochibi…Did I do something to make you mad?" Ryoma spun around to look at his senpai, confused. Eiji had a pained look across his face as he stared at the boy. "Why would I be mad at you senpai?" Ryoma asked. Eiji continued to stare at him. "You seem to be avoiding me. I try to talk to you and you run or push me away." The older boys' voice on the verge of tears. "If I did something to upset you, then please tell me." Ryoma finished getting dressed and looked at the older boy. "I'm sorry Kikumaru-senpai. I had no idea you felt that I was mad at you. That is not the case. I just haven't been sleeping well for the last few weeks." Ryoma said as he turned to head to classes. He couldn't tell him that it was because of the dreams he had been having. He hoped the older boy would accept that answer. Thankfully Eiji did. Eiji got up, following the boy out of the club house. "Ochibi, you do know that you can talk to me if things are bothering you, right?" Eiji asked. Ryoma turned his head to look at him. "Hai, Kikumaru-senpai, but right now, you can't help me. It's something that I need to deal with." He said as he left a rather speechless senpai standing alone. Fuji had been leaning up against a tree, watching the two converse, smiling. "You handled that rather well, Ryoma." He thought to himself as the freshman rushed past him. Ryoma nodded in his direction, a blush creeping across his face, before continuing on to his class. Fuji followed the boy with his eyes till he could no longer see, then turning his attention too a rather confused and dazed Eiji. Fuji continued to smile as he pushed himself away from the tree and walked over to his red headed friend. "Eiji?" he asked. Eiji looked up to see Fuji falling in step with him. "Fuji-ko…Umm…Hello…." He started. "What's the matter Eiji? You seem lost." Eiji stopped in his tracks, looking at the ground. "Nya, Fuji-ko?" He began. He paused for a moment before asking, "Do you know what is wrong with our chibi?" He looked up at Fuji waiting for an answer. "Sa…but I think I have a pretty good idea. Why?" he answered, putting his hand on Eiji's shoulder. Fuji couldn't tell his friend. Not until Ryoma was ready. "It's just that he keeps avoiding me. When I look at him, he starts blushing and then looks away, or when I try to talk to him he runs off, refusing to talk. I have noticed that over the past few days though he has been talking more and more to you. So I had thought that he might have confided in you about what is actually bothering him." Eiji fell silent waiting for Fuji. "Well I really can't say what is bothering him, but all in due time I am sure that he will let us know Eiji. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I don't think he is mad at you though. Now, let's head to class before we become late." Fuji gave Eiji's arm a little tug. Eiji nodded and sighed, walking with Fuji to class. On their way to class, Fuji decided to pry a little bit. "Eiji, is there someone you like?" Eiji blinked his eyes a few times before answering. "I like everyone Fuji-ko. You know that." Fuji gave a small laugh, before rephrasing his question. "That's not what I meant Eiji. I mean is there someone you're interested in romantically." Eiji stopped walking for a few moments to stare at his friend. "Ano….well…You know that Oishi and I had been together and then broke up. I'm still waiting for him, but I don't know if that will happen. I do love him, but I don't know if he will ever feel the same for me again." They finally made it to their class and the conversation stopped with Fuji saying that they could talk at a later time.

Fuji spent most of the class time thinking about Ryoma, Eiji and now Oishi. Ryoma. The boy was beginning to haunt him now. Maybe it had been a bad idea to teach the boy what he need to know so he could be with Eiji. Fuji was beginning to have vivid thoughts about the boy naked underneath him, giving himself completely. Fuji wanted to do more than just kiss and touch that beautiful small body. He wanted to show Ryoma everything he knew that would make the boy writher underneath him in pleasure. Earlier today as he saw Ryoma and Eiji walking together, he felt a twinge of jealousy. He no longer wanted to teach Ryoma for Eiji, but for himself. He would have to ask Ryoma how he was feeling now. This was beginning to get too complicated now. Eiji. Eiji was still thinking about Oishi and wanting to be with him. What was it that Eiji had said, "I do love him, but I don't know if he will ever feel the same for me again." Where did that leave Ryoma? Could Eiji forget being with Oishi again to be with Ryoma? If he started seeing Ryoma, sharing all the pleasures with him, would he hurt the boy by leaving him for Oishi if the time called that Oishi would want Eiji back? How would that affect Ryoma in the long run? He couldn't watch that happen. This brought him to Oishi. How does Oishi feel about Eiji now? He was always around his doubles partner and friend. Maybe Oishi still loved him and was just afraid to try again. That could possible help him, but it could possibly hurt Ryoma. He didn't want to see Ryoma get hurt though. He decided that he would talk to Oishi first during their lunch, talk to him to see how he felt about Eiji. Yes, maybe he could make this all work out for everyone. The bell rang indicating it was time for their next class. Fuji began planning as he walked to his next class.

Ryoma sat in his class, his chin propped in his hand, staring lazily out the window. His mind wandering, thinking of his past few sessions with Fuji, and what could possibly take place tonight. Fuji-senpai had told him that his family wouldn't be home tonight, so they could be as loud as they wanted. What in the world? He was starting to feel things when he met with him for his practice sessions. It was confusing; however, he still had feelings and dreams about Kikumaru. Earlier after morning practice, when he saw Fuji-senpai standing there, he couldn't help but blush. The past few days had swept over him, making him think even more about his senpai. He was actually looking forward to being alone with him tonight. But what did this mean? Was he starting to feel the same way about Fuji-senpai as he did about Kikumaru-senpai? Who was it that he wanted now? He had noticed though that this morning after practice he was able to talk a little easier with Kikumaru-senpai. What was he going to do now? He decided that tonight he would talk to Fuji-senpai about the feelings and thoughts he was having. Maybe he could shed some light on everything for him. He sighed rather loudly, earning him the attention of the sensei. The class giggled as the sensei told the boy to go wash his face.

At the beginning of lunch Fuji asked Oishi to follow him to the roof, telling him that he needed to speak to him in private. Oishi nodded following Fuji. Thank god there was no one there so they could speak openly. They sat down and began to eat. Oishi turned his attention to Fuji. "Fuji? You needed to speak to me? Is something wrong?" he asked. Fuji leaned back propping himself up with his arms, trying to figure out the best way to talk to him. He cleared his throat and began. "Oishi…How do you feel about Eiji?" Oishi's face went crimson. "I…I…I still love him…" he stuttered out looking at Fuji. "Why…do…you ask?" Fuji turned his head to look at him, his eyes opened and focusing on Oishi. "Oishi…Does Eiji know that you still love him?" Oishi turned to look down at his lap and sighed. "No he doesn't." he said. "Why not Oishi? Don't you want to be with him again?" The tensai asked never taking his eyes off him. Oishi laid down on his back looking up at the bright blue sky, silence taking over for a few moments. "I don't know if that's the best thing for us. I'm afraid of hurting him again. The reason for our break up the last time well was due to me not being able to tell any one, especially my family about us. You know how my parents are about me." He let out another sigh before continuing. "I just think that we need more time before we can try again. I mean Eiji was pretty upset about me not wanting to tell my family about us." Fuji let out a deep sigh and lay down next to Oishi, his mind racing against time that he was sure he no longer had. "Are you alright with Eiji falling for someone else Oishi? Can you let him go that easily?" Fuji said softly. Oishi turned his head slightly to look at Fuji's silhouette. "I only want him to be happy. If he can be happy with someone other than me, then I have no choice to be happy for him." Fuji looked at him, noticing the sad expression creeping across his face. "Ah." It was all Fuji could say. They spent the rest of the lunch period in silence. Fuji really had some thinking to do now.
