Marui isn't rich, oh no of course not, or he would be at a private school, a guarantee that he would end up gay, well actually, too late. He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable about his love-life. Marui looked up through bright red tresses, at the half awake boy silently eating. A candlelight dinner just the two in Jiroh's house, alone, it felt awkward.
The past few days made him even more uncomfortable, thinking off Jiroh's past experiences with love, you don't need to think about that is what his conscience says, but he couldn't help wondering, why? 'What is he thinking?' you ask, well here is what it is.
"Jiroh." "Hmmm?" "Why…..do not react?" "…react?" "You never hug me, and you never kiss me back, why?" "…What are you talking about?" "You should know." Was the cold reply, "Bun-chan, what do you mean?" "Did you kiss him back?" "Who?" "Keigo-kun." "Why are you bringing him up?" "… did you." "Well ya aren't I suppose to?" Marui had heard enough, he abruptly got up, "Bun-chan?" "Why is it that you can kiss him easily, but no me? You always either flinch or hesitate! Just answer my question! Is it because he's rich? That he's the greatest? That I don't really have a name in the tennis world like that Seigaku kid and him?" he grabbed his jacket and headed for the door, "Bunta!" Jiroh looked at him pleadingly, tears threatening to spill, "What's with you?" "I'm going." And the door closed in his face.
The candles flickered.
Authors Comment: Marui has love insecurities too. Anyways thanks for the reviews! I'll finish as much as I can soon! This is only 1 of 3 parts so hope you look forward to it! Ahem, it has brought to my attentionof my heavy hints that I like AtoJi, well (Looks around.) I do but MaruiJiroh is to gosh darn cute, how can I not like cute pairings? That and there's many other talented AtoJi writers working on them so I decided to build up the love for the Hyper Pair that is oh so neglected.
