I still own nothing. Hooray. Not even the names of Sena's parents, they too belong to the creator of Eyeshield 21. Oh, and the cat too. On with the story!

Hoshi no Tengoku

Chapter Two

Sena stretched and yawned, curling into his lover. A broad, long fingered hand rubbed his back and brought him closer. It was a nice way to start the day.

He lazily kissed the blonde's chest before the other's larger body rolled over on top of him and he was engaged in a rather passionate good morning kiss. The brunette tugged gently on Hiruma's hair, and the older boy reluctantly pulled away.

"Ohayo..." Amber eyes were soft and adoring, Hiruma couldn't help the guilty wince. "Hmm? What's wrong?" Hiruma looked over at the doorway, and Sena's eyes followed his gaze.

Sena sweatdropped at the sight of his parents, before blushing in mortification. They, what, seen, how? The poor boy's mind was close to shutting down.

"Y'know, meeting your parents was more awkward than I thought it would be."

"I told you we shouldn't have..." Sena trailed off. Even after all this time he couldn't say the word aloud.

"Really? The only thing I heard last night was 'please' and 'more'." The devilish man smirked and ground his hips downward.

"That's not the point!" The brunette squeaked and pushed Hiruma away. He sat up and looked around his room. "Where's my underwear?"

Hiruma pointed to the ceiling and Sena sweatdropped when he saw his boxers dangling from the ceiling fan. He didn't remember that happening. With a sigh, he wrapped the quilt around himself and retrieved a new pair.

Kobayakawa Shuuma and Mihae sat across from their son and what they had dubbed the "Blonde Demon". After coming to, the family (well, mostly Sena's parents), decided that they needed to talk.

The only sound that broke the current silence was the occasional pop of Hiruma's gum. Sena fidgeted nervously with his new ring, glancing between his parents and Hiruma. Why did the blonde have to satisfy one of his oral fixations during such a serious moment?

"I'm marrying your son." Blunt and to the point. Sena almost passed out.

"W-we've been dating for the past year, s-so we aren't really rushing into things." The brunette tried to amend things by babbling out random information.

"But, ga-" Mihae struggled with the word for a moment before she continued. "Gay marriage isn't legal in Japan."

Hiruma arched a brow at the woman, before settling into his trademark grin. "That's why we're holding the ceremony in Canada."

Looking a little disgruntled Mihae settled back in her seat to stew over the information. Shuuma looked hard at Hiruma before turning to his son.

"You know I'll stand behind you whatever decision you make," He paused. "But I need to know, does he make you happy?"

"Of course!" Sena didn't hesitate for a second. "I don't remember ever being this happy before."

"That's all I needed to know." Father and son smiled at each other and Hiruma rolled his eyes.

"But dear! We don't know anything about this boy, we can't just let him marry our son." She glared straight at the blonde. "I demand that we at least meet his parents first."

There was an exaggeratedly loud pop as Hiruma's bubble exploded in his face at this news. His eye was twitching and he looked a little pale.

"Like hell, fucking mother-in-law." Sena's mother looked taken aback at being spoken to in such a manner and was about to say something before Hiruma abruptly stood up. "We'll be late if we don't leave now. Ikuzo, Fuc- Sena."

"I think they took it rather well." Sena sighed at this. Maybe his father had, but his mother... Hiruma glanced over at him. "Maa, don't look so troubled chibi. They'll warm up to the idea. And if they don't it's their loss."

"...You should have locked the door." The brunette pouted. "That's not exactly how I wanted my parents to find out I was gay."

"That's how you found out you were gay."

"T-that's not the point!" Sena sputtered indignantly. "You're so mean." Hiruma smirked and wrapped an arm around Sena's shoulders.

"Gotta be cruel to be kind, kuso chibi." He cackled. "I wonder how the rest of the team will react?"

"The team! We're going to tell the team today!" Sena's eyes widened as he imagined Mamori's reaction, knowing that it wasn't going to be pretty.

"Of course, everyone will be wondering about that ring on your finger." He pulled Sena a little closer. "It looks damn good on you."

"I-I suppose." It did scream 'notice me'. Really it should have just been a simple gold band, that's what married men wore, but this ring had an almost feminine appeal. It was a simple design of alternating gems, diamonds and emeralds, set one after the other around the middle of the silver band.

Sena had adored it the moment he saw it. The gems reminded him so much Hiruma's eyes, it was uncanny. Had he done it on purpose? Sena thought he had seen a ring of a similar design on Hiruma's left hand earlier but with amber stones. Where had he gotten the money to pay for something so expensive?

Sena started to slow his pace as the realization dawned on him. How was Hiruma paying for this? The rings, the apartment, and he said he was going to fly him out of the country?

"Youichi..."

"I was thinking, we should make reservations early. We want to go somewhere nice after the ceremony. So, chibi, where do you want to honeymoon? I'll take you wherever you want to go."

"Hiruma-san! How much money are you spending on all of this?"

"You really know how to trample on a romantic line don't you?" Hiruma huffed a bit. "Don't worry about it."

"But... It's too much, it feels like such a waste. I don't want you to spend all of your money on me. I don't need any of this." The pair had stopped walking now, standing on the sidewalk, Hiruma a step or two in front of Sena.

"Look. I have enough extra cash to spend on things like this, that's one thing I can thank my damn family for."

"Hiru-" The blonde glared at him. "Youichi... I'm sorry." The last came out in a meek little tone.

"Taku. Stop apologizing for every little thing, it's not your fault." Hiruma's arms were around him again. "I should have said something."

"Warm. I want to go somewhere warm." Sena snuggled into his chest. Hiruma blinked at sudden topic change before chuckling softly.

"Then how about the Caribbean, love? We can lie on the beach and drink rum and then have sex in our personal cabana every night."

"Youichi!" Hiruma continued to laugh as he pulled Sena on towards the school, both of them late for first classes by now.

"I could get used to hearing that."

Sena sat in class staring out the window. It was almost the end of the day and he'd only been able to catch one bare glimpse of his lover since they had parted ways earlier. It looked like he was being chewed out by Mamori while Musashi, Kurita and Yukimitsu looked on.

Juumonji had asked about his absence and Sena had made some excuse about sleeping in. He had a feeling that it was going to come back to bite him later in the day.

He was snapped out of his daydreams when the bells chimed and the entire class left in a whirlwind leaving the amefuto team to pack up at a more sedate pace. His heart skipped a beat when he remembered that he would be telling his friends of his engagement.

Blushing, he walked ahead of the others unconsciously curling his thumb towards his palm to rub at the ring on his finger. He felt nervous now and just wanted to see his fiancé.

"Oi, Sena! Wait up!" Monta jogged up from behind him and slung a friendly arm over his shoulder. "Where are ya off to in such a hurry?"

"I'm just eager to get to the clubhouse. I mean, even though we've won the christmas bowl, it doesn't mean we should quit playing football does it?"

"Of course not!" Sena stumbled forward as someone kicked him in the ass, and he winced a little more than usual. Juumonji strolled up on his other side followed by Kuroki and Togano. "Since most of the team won't be here next year it's our duty to recruit new players and aim for the Christmas Bowl again. We have a reputation now."

"Fugo!" Komosubi seemed to agree.

Sena smiled he hadn't even thought that far ahead yet. Of course, with how crazy things had been, it was no surprise that his thoughts hadn't had the chance to turn to football.

"Ah-ha-ha!" Taki twirled into view. "With my talent we'll surely make it there a second year!" Everyone sweatdropped. Because of him they had almost lost a match early in the season. They all remembered how he and 'eyeshield' had gotten on the wrong bus.

"Of course, Taki-kun." Sena smiled good naturedly at the blond. Taki was a bit of an idiot but he was a nice guy. The clubhouse was in view now and Sena swallowed nervously.

Stepping inside he caught sight of Hiruma immediately. He was sitting at the table polishing one his guns, Musashi sitting on his left having a cup of coffee. Sena moved to take the chair on his right, but only covered half the distance to it before he was tackled by Suzuna.

"Sena!"

"Ah! S-Suzuna!" He pulled at her arms. "I can't breath!"

"Oh. Sorry!" Glancing down she caught a glimmer of something on Sena's hand. Not letting the chance pass her by, the bluenette grabbed Sena's left hand and brought it closer for a better view. "Oh my gosh, Sena! What's this ring!"

Hiruma glanced up at the cheerleaders sudden exclamation, as did everyone else in the room. Damn. He had been hoping something like this wouldn't happen. Careless midget.

"Um, well, that's..." Sena pulled his hand back and shyly held it to his chest. He could feel everyone staring at him, waiting for an answer. "I-I've been seeing someone and..."

"So you're engaged!" Suzuna squealed. "To who, to who?"

There was an uproar in the clubhouse. Shy, sweet, Sena was engaged? They didn't even know he had been dating. Why wouldn't he tell any of them? After a minute Hiruma became more than irritated by the noise and fired off a few rounds.

"Urusei! Is it really that shocking? Fucking idiots."

"So, who is it, Hiruma?" Musashi leaned back in his chair.

"Nn?"

"You know who it is. It's written all over your face."

"Me."

"Yes, you..."

"No, I mean me. He's engaged to me." Everyone stared at him.

A couple of people started to laugh, but quickly realized that he wasn't joking. There was a rather loud thud and everyone looked to see that Mamori had passed out.

"The fuck does everyone keep doing that!"
