Accidentally in Love
Author's Note: Thanks to all the 8 people who reviewed. Love to all of you. One quick note though, Pirika didn't tell Ren that Horo loved him, she just said it. So Ren still has no clue. I was really nervous about post this fic, I've never written HoroXRen before. Please continue to leave your comments.
Chapter Two: Tutoring Session
Ren slowly walked down the sidewalk, he was heading to the football field. Where Horo was at practice, football practice. Yes, Horo was on the football team, he was a full back. Give Usui Horeku a sport where it was perfectly fine to smack another guy's ass and it was fine by him. Of course, Horo was very guarded about this information, he didn't need to have his teammates know he was bisexual. Very few people actually knew, if they did, they didn't let on. In Ren's case, he had no clue that his best friend was bisexual and Horo was in no rush to let him know either.
Ren could hear the sounds of the practice in the distance. Football was a weak substitute for his prime sport, Martial Arts. Lucky the school just so happened to have a martial arts team, and Ren just so happened to be the captain of it, not that he was bragging or anything.
Ren walked through the opening in the fence and made his way to the bleachers, which were half filled with the girlfriends/ wanna-be girlfriends of the football team. The most part of them were bleach blondes with big mouths and big pocket books, and the only talked to people who were worthy. Well, Tao Ren was beyond worthy, he was the most sot after guy in the whole school.
Amidst the crowd of blonde headed bimbos sat one girl, a single girl who did not fit the normal profile of a football player's girlfriend.
For one, she was not blonde. Her short bubble gum colored hair, which was her natural color, framed her kind face, which seemed to always have a blush on it. She was soft spoken and got flustered very easily. Which football player was she involved with, I'll give you one guess. Yes, that right, HoroHoro.
Ren smirked as he climbed the bleacher steps to the said pink headed girl, "Tamao." He said with an added wave. His smirk grew when he heard all the envious gabber coming from the blonde headed bimbos.
Tamao blinked slowly, "Hello, Ren-kun." She said with a slight smile and a red blush.
Ren continued smirking as he sat next to the girl, "So how's the team looking?" He asked.
Tamao chuckled softly, "Ren-kun…I know you didn't come to ask how the team is playing." She said with a small smile, "Horo should be done with practice soon."
Ren nodded, "Thanks, I'll go wait for him in the locker room." He paused, "I don't want him to get away."
Tamao looked at him oddly, "Why do you say that?"
Ren sighed, "I'm his tutor." He said simply as he stood up, "Oh, if you see Pirika tell her I'll call her later."
Tamao nodded, "I will." She said with a smile.
Ren nodded once before once again leaving the bleachers, throwing glares at the blonde headed bimbos as he walked.
OOO
Ren waited a whole of fifteen minutes before the herd of football players trampled into the locker room. Ren twitched slightly as mud was splattered all too near himself. He sighed deeply, pulling his feet onto the bench in front of Horo's locker. Usui Horeku would not escape his tutoring sessions.
Soon, Horo's blue head was visible in the crowd of oversexed boys. The said boy walked to his locker, blinking upon seeing Ren, "Well…hey, Ren." He said scratching his head slightly.
Ren merely nodded, "You have five minutes to get dressed and get your ass out here."
Horo raised an eyebrow, "And why is that?" He asked crossing his arms.
"You have a tutoring session with me." Ren said simply.
Horo blinked, "With you?"
Ren nodded, "Don't sound so excited." He said dryly, rolling his eyes.
Horo shook his head slightly, "Well, if you'd get out from in front of my locker I could get dressed a hell of a lot faster." He said in a matter-of-factly voice.
Ren rolled his eyes once more before scooting over, "You're down to three minutes." He said checking his watch.
Horo glanced at him, "It'll take me longer than that to take a shower." He pointed out.
Ren shrugged, "Only because you like to goof off in there." He said before pausing, "So don't make have to come in there and baby-sit you."
Horo grabbed his clothes, pausing to give Ren a seductive look, "Well, if that's the case you better just come in." He said in a surprisingly sexy deep voice that made even Ren shuddered slightly.
Ren blinked as his cheeks flushed red, before he could come up with any witty remark, Horo grinned before walking into the shower.
Ren looked away, a blush still on his face. Ok, why in the hell was he blushing? Was Horo just…flirting with him? Ren shook his head, of course he wasn't…flirting with him. He was just teasing him again. Yeah, teasing him.
OOO
Horo groaned loudly as he set his head on the desk, "I don't get it!" He moaned, turning to look at his golden eyed tutor.
Ren sighed deeply, "Horo I told you a thousand times an adjective describes a noun, which is a person, place, thing, or an ideal." He said, rubbing his aching temples.
Horo sat back up, a small frown on his face, "I've had enough of cat's who wear black hats that walked around with big bats. I'm Japanese, why should I learn English?" He pouted, crossing his arms. "I'm not you, who can speak three languages fluently."
Ren rolled his eyes, "Because you have to or you'll get held back a year." He said, throwing Horo a glare. "Damn straight I can speak three languages, you could too if you tried."
"I don't care." Horo said diffidently.
Ren's glare hardened, "Well, they're people that do care." He snapped.
Horo snorted, "Yeah? Name me one person that isn't Pirika or Tamao." He said, raising an eyebrow in an almost challenging way.
"Me!" Ren said, his voice raising as he slammed his fist into the desk.
Horo blinked, "You…care about me?" He asked slowly, hints of a smile apparent on his face.
Ren paused, a blush blossoming on his cheeks, "I…care about your grades, that's what I meant." He said softly, his gaze returning to the opened book in front of him.
Horo slowly nodded, "So an adjective describes a noun, which is a person, place, thing, or ideal?" He asked, his gaze also on his book, a small smile on his face. Even if his grades was all Ren cared about, at least Ren still cared…right?
Ren slowly nodded, "Exactly." He said, glancing at the blue headed boy.
