Accidentally in Love

Chapter Five: Just Best Friends…Right!

Ren yawned widely as he walked down the sidewalk. He had just got out of practice. Compared to last year's team, Ren was still the best. No wonder why he was caption. He eyed his blue haired friend as the pair walked down the sidewalk. The Ainu had a slight frown on his face. Ren could probably guess why, they were heading to Ren's apartment so he could tutor Horo. "What's wrong?" Ren said, staring straight ahead.

Horo blinked, glancing at Ren before shrugging, "I dunno. I guess ever since you got back the only time we see each other is during school or when you're tutoring me. We used to actually do things together." He said quietly, glancing at the Chinese boy out of the corner of his eye.

Ren sighed deeply, "Well, all you have to do is call me, you know that Horo." He said with a slight frown.

Horo nodded before grinning, "Why don't we do something now?" He said in a mischievous voice.

Ren narrowed his eyes, "We have a tutoring session." He said crossing his arms.

Horo continued grinning, "Oh come on, we can miss one session. If it means that much to you, I'll come over on Saturday and you can tutor me the whole day." He pleaded.

Ren shook his head, smiling slightly at the desperation in Horo's voice, "Ok fine! Where do you want to go?" He asked with a slight sigh.

Horo grinned widely, "Well…" He said thoughtfully, tapping his chin, "…I don't have any money…"

Ren sweat dropped as he stared at Horo in disbelief, "You're broke!"

Horo chuckled, "I know, we can go swimming." He said glancing around with a devilish grin.

Ren shook his head once more, "There's no pools open, it's September."

Horo shrugged, "Who said we're going to a public pool." He said while he grabbed Ren's hand and dragged him across the street towards a nice looking house.

Ren blinked, "No…Horo, we are not going in someone else's pool."

Horo smirked, "You act like you've never done it before." He said.

Ren blushed slightly, "That was a one time thing…and, you and Hao got me drunk anyway, so I didn't know that I was actually doing." He pointed out as Horo dragged him to the back yard where a large pool was.

Horo laughed lightly, "Well, we can always get drunk again." He said with a small smile.

Ren rolled his eyes, "You're a bad influence on me, you know." He said as Horo dropped his hand and walked over to the pool, pulling off his clothes.

Horo threw a grin over his shoulder, as he stood next to the edge of the pool only clad in his boxers, "I know." He said before diving in.

Ren sighed, blushing slightly as he shook his head, "We're going to get caught."

Horo snorted, "You mean me? You're not even in the pool." He said, standing in the surprisingly warm water, the people must own a pool heater.

Ren glared, "I'll get in…eventually." He pouted, crossing his arms.

Horo chuckled, "Don't make me have to drag you in." He threatened, "The water's not bad, it's warm."

Ren sighed as he began undoing his tie, "If I get caught, you are so dead." He said, pulling off the tie and throwing it aside.

Horo shrugged, "It's worth it." He said, biting his lip as Ren pulled off his shirt. This was the only reason he decided to go swimming, it was the perfect chance to see Ren perform a strip tease…ok, so Ren didn't know he was doing a tease, but Horo did.

Ren rolled his eyes as he pulled off his pants, leaving him in his purple boxers, a much more manly color than Horo's baby blue boxers. Slowly he walked to the edge of the pool, glancing at the glass doors of the house before he stepped into the water.

A large grin was plastered on Horo's face, "Don't worry, no one's home." He said reassuringly.

Ren rolled his eyes, "They could get home at anytime." He said as Horo swam closer to him. The blush had once again reappeared on Ren's face as he swan closer and closer. His heart beat madly against his chest as Horo grinned. But, it was a different grin, it wasn't playful anymore. It was almost like an invitation. Ren shuddered as Horo swan past him, their bodies brushing against each other as Horo swam to the edge of the pool and lifted himself out of the pool, "W-what are you doing?" Ren stuttered.

Horo grinned slightly, "Moving our clothes so they don't get wet." He said while bending over to pick up the clothes.

Ren blushed deeply as he fought to tear his eyes off of Horo's backside.

Horo threw the clothes on to a lawn chair before he turned around, a wicked grin on his face.

Ren blinked, looking at Horo oddly, "What's that look for?"

Horo smirked before he ran towards the pool, jumping in, right at Ren.

Ren's eyes widened as Horo jumped on him, "You-!" His words were drowned out when both boys fell under the water.

Ren resurfaced first, a harsh glare on his face, "You baka!" He shouted as Horo came up a few minutes later, laughing like a maniac. "It's not funny!" Ren yelled.

Horo smiled softly as his laughing died down, "You worry too much." He said softly, raising his hand to Ren face. Gently touching his soft cheek before leaning closer to the purple headed boy, pausing before he pressed his lips against Ren's.

Ren's eyes widened with shock as his face flushed a deep red. Feelings he didn't even know he had began surface. His eyes slipped closed as he hesitantly began to return the kiss.

"Hey!"

Both boys jumped away from each other. Horo blinked before laughing nervously, scratching his head.

Ren's face badly flushed, his lips swollen, his eyes widened in shock. "A-Airka-sensei?" He choked.

The brown headed woman slowly nodded, an amused grin on her face, "You got it." She said crossing her arms, nodding slowly.

Horo laughed once more, "Well, we should go. We have a tutoring session to do." He said, with a wide stupid grin.

Ayumi slowly nodded, "See you in class, Ren." She said with a wave before walking back into her house.

Horo blinked, "For a teacher she has one hell of a house." He said, glancing over, "Ren?"

The Chinese boy was already putting on his clothes, a confused look on his face, "Tutoring session's off tonight." He muttered before jumping the fence.

Horo sighed deeply as he pulled himself out of the water, a frown on his face.

"You know, HoroHoro, just because he ran doesn't mean he doesn't feel the same way."

Horo blinked, "Thanks Airka-sensei." He said with a grin.

She grinned nodding her head, "Just pick someone else's pool next time." She said with an added wink.
