Memory Twelve

Ryoma and Momo entered the house where it was nice and warm and then stopped into at the kitchen doorway where Momo grinned as Ryoma's golden eyes were in awe. A huge cake sat at the table, with candles and sparklers giving the desert a nice glow. Two presents of different shapes and forms and colors of wrapping papers were also lined across the table. Everyone was gathered around the table cheerfully.

"Ochibi! You're home! Happy nineteenth birthday!" exclaimed Eiji giggling.

And when Ryoma was about to move from the doorway everyone except Momo, Ryoma, and Tezuka started laughing. And Kaidoh who rolled his eyes muttering something about an idiot. Ryoma was highly confused.

"Both of you look up and tell us what you see," said Fuji his azure eyes opened. They had that sadistic glint in them. Both Ryoma and Momo looked up at the top of the doorframe and went pale at first and then went blushing.

"Mistletoe," breathed out Ryoma.

"Y-yeah mistletoe," repeated Momo.

Inui whipped out his notebook and everyone waited for what was about to come.

"Mm, you know what you two have to do. Now give in already," said Fuji.

Ryoma and Momo looked at eachother blushing. Ryoma swore that his heart stopped beating and he was feeling extremely warm. His senpai looked nervous as well. Not that Ryoma would blame him. If Ryouga were here he'd have a huge laugh out of this and tease him asking a bunch of embarrassing questions that Ryoma really didn't want to even start thinking about at the moment.

"Just kiss already!" called out Eiji pouting.

Momo rolled his eyes and leaned down to capture Ryoma's lips in a kiss. At first it was awkward and then Momo had pressed the smaller boy up against the doorframe his tongue teasing Ryoma's lower lip. Ryoma had found himself placing his arms around the power player's neck drawing him closer. Ryoma let out a little moan as their tongues touched and Momo's hands wandered down his back. And then both Momo and Ryoma remembered that people were watching and pushed away breathing hard and blushing madly.

Eiji let out a whistle.

"You two kissed for a long time!"

"A full minute and twelve seconds," stated Inui scribbling down data.

"Fsshu, you timed it? What the hell?"

"Ii data."

"Both of you sit down while we cut the cake," said Fuji grabbing out a nice shiny metal knife, which cut through the cake easily revealing that it was vanilla with strawberries and kiwis inside of it for filling. As all of them ate cake Ryoma opened presents at the same time. He had gotten something from his brother, tennis shoes. Nice and new dark blue and white Filas.

There was a nice pure while sweater from Momo who whispered in his ear to wear it tomorrow for Christmas. Ryoma blushed and nodded at the request. Fuji thought the whole thing was sweet and then broke it up telling Ryoma the next gift was from everyone that they all pitched to in to buy it for him. The gift ended up being outside.

Ryoma had gotten himself a nice silver Vespa scooter. Everyone said that it wasn't fair that they all had a car and yet he was stuck walking. Ryoma thanked everyone and test-drove it in the driveway and down the road. It worked great and it would be much faster and better than walking.

Everything was soon quiet again and Ryoma went up to his room with his sweater and tennis shoes in his hands. Momo had already made it to the bedroom and bouncing a ball on a tennis racket.

"Thank you again," said Ryoma.

Momo jumped shocked and the lime green tennis ball hit him square in the stomach making him fall off the bed.

"You okay?" asked Ryoma looking over the bed.

Momo blushed standing up.

"Yeah, you just startled me," he said placing his racket on his bed.

"Momo…you didn't have to do all this," said Ryoma.

Momoshiro blinked confused.

"You mean the birthday thing? Ah the scooter everyone decided on since you left for the US. Eiji, Oishi, Kaidoh, Fuji, and I helped. And when Inui and Tezuka came and figured out they pitched in the rest of the money. And the sweater…I thought it would look…really good on you," he said.

Ryoma blushed. Wait, did Momo…have a slight crush on him? Ryoma thought about it carefully, he had been pouncing on him earlier, spoiled him to death today, and kissed him more than a peck on the lips. It was like he was taking advantage of the situation of being able to kiss him. But Ryoma couldn't say anything because he had been all over Momo as well. But wait a second! Did that mean that Ryoma was attracted to his senpai? Arg! This was complicated.

"Good on me? You seemed to eye me enough ever since that kiss we had," said Ryoma glancing at the older boy.

Momo looked away.

"Echizen-I..I want to say a lot but I don't know how to say it," he said.

"Why can't you say it?" asked Ryoma.

Momo looked at him and then sat down on the bed. There was a long silence and then he sighed.

"Because you might get scared and run away again," he replied.

"I promise I won't," said Ryoma sitting down next to him.

Momo turned around to face him and then pounced on him again his lips locking with his. Ryoma's lips were soft and moist. And when he'd respond to any of Momo's kisses it was like heaven to him. Momo slid his tongue slowly into Ryoma's mouth making the other moan into the kiss and have his arms around his neck again. Ryoma bit at Momo's upper lip and then nibbled at his tongue teasingly.

"Mm, Ryoma," breathed out Momo in between the kiss.

"Is that what you wanted to say?" asked Ryoma kissing him again.

Their tongues touched this time and Ryoma started to suck at the invading tongue and then got into another tongue war.

"Yea…ah! Echizen you're biting me," whispered Momo.

Ryoma bit further into Momo's shoulder and Momo himself had his hands gripped onto the sheets.

"Are you saying that you love me?" asked Ryoma.

"Yes."

"You're an idiot," murmured Ryoma.

"I'm your idiot. That is if you'll take me," answered Momo pulling Ryoma up to where he was facing him.

Their hands intertwined each other's tightly and they both looked into the eyes of the other. The only sound heard in the room was their fast paced breathing.

"I would've taken you along time ago. I love you Takeshi," said Ryoma smiling.

"Nn, I love you too. Happy birthday love," said Momoshiro holding the golden eyed pro in his arms as it grew dark in the room. They sun had set and the only the porch light from outside and the faint glow of day illuminated the room as both laid there in silence in each other's arms to make sure that this was all real, that they were there.

((A/N: ACK! It was another short chapter. >> SORRY! Don't kill me. I hope you don't because Momo/Ryoma was there. Yoshi! I've been talking way to much about 'Anything for You' so how about I talk about the upcoming chapters to 'Memory'? Now, you all are going to completely hate me next chapter because I've made Fuji slightly out of character and I've gotten Kaidoh and Tezuka ina bad situation -giggles- Poor Inui...he's always having to babysit his poor adorable kouhai. XD Literally, the chapter after this one that's coming up will be dramatic and I've told a couple people about it! >> Some of you will be in awe...maybe. And then the very next chapter is Christmas! The chapter you've all been waiting for! Hehehe. By the way I've gotten fangifts! Seriously. I'm so freaking happy. I've recived an icon (for my LJ) from Sammie (from whom I know at school) that sort of premoted my fic. I. Was. In. Awe. I think I've had to tell the world of her sucess, because this girl is so friggin' brillant. The icon consist of the Golden Pair and is MOVES! XD. Sadly the icon could be loaded because of the size...-.- But it was still adorable. It said, "MEMORIES, You'll fade someday, but my memories of you are forever." Such a beautiful icon. Thank you Sammie, I'm thrilled to get a fangift to my fic as what I'm calling an early b-day pressie! Anyway, I hope to see you all next chapter. Next chapter is going to hopefully be posted on Wednesday!)
