Chapter 1

Koshino was staying home these few days with a slight fever and a running nose. He had invited his favourite and only cousin to his house, to discuss a wacky 'Lover's Plan' that he had come up with during his sick days. It was in the evening and Sendoh was still not back yet.

"I still think that you should not play with his feelings like this. Playing with people's love is wrong, especially when it is Akira. He's not as strong as he seems. Why are you so relaxed?" Fujima said as he entered the living room with a can of coke and a glass of warm milk.

"I'm not playing with his feelings, I'm just testing him; whether he is patient, loving, and loyal." Koshino took the cup of milk from his cousin. "And why are you drinking coke while I'm having warm milk?"

"Because you're sick." As Fujima sat down beside him on the couch, he frowned as he turned to Koshino and took the can of coke away from him. "I am still concern about Akira. If you ever…"

Jealousy filled Koshino as he heard 'Akira' coming from his cousin. "And what does it have to do with you of what I do to him. I am going on with what I have planned and that is it! I know he is your ex-boyfriend and it is EX mind you. He is mine now, MINE and I can do whatever I want with him. It is none of your concern!"

Koshino calmed down a little as he hugged Fujima. "I'm sorry…"

Fujima returned the hug from his only cousin as he whispered into his ears. "Nah… it's alright. I understand that someone can be overprotective. I just want you to know that Akira is very fragile. He's not tough at all you know. He smiles to hide his fears."

Koshino shifted as pulled away. "Really? I didn't know that. But I need to know if he really loves me. He's my life you know."

"But you're his life too. That's… what I know from him when we broke up… so… what's your plan? I might just go along with you." Fujima smiled.

"Ok… Here goes… I'm going to…"

Fujima listened attentively without letting one word slip pass his ears. "Are you sure…? I still love him and you know that. I gave him to you because he loves you more. If he's sad or he come crying to me, you will be the first one I'm going to kill."

"Yes I am sure. Besides, it's only for a week. Come on… lets just test him alright? Help me?" Koshino put on his puppy eyes.

Fujima hesitated for a little while then rubbed his hand on Koshino's. Koshino returned the rubbing. "Alright I'll help. But you'll have to stop the plan if he's heartbroken or crying. If not… I'm going to…" He paused for a moment before continuing. "Take him away."

Koshino stopped his actions and stared at Fujima. "You're not serious are you? About taking him away from me?"

Fujima paused for a while then chuckled. "I'm just joking… don't take it so seriously will you?"

"I promise. I will stop when the time comes." Koshino hugged Fujima.

Just as the sound of keys were heard, both of them pulled away and smiled at the tall Ryonan ace. "Hello Akira." Both of them said in unison.

Sendoh, not suspecting anything, returned with his usual smile and closed the door. "Hello love, and Kenji. Were you here for dinner?"

"Yeah, and I had just ended my meal." Fujima smiled at him and stood up to give Sendoh a tight hug making Sendoh a little worried. At the same time, Koshino is obviously jealous with the angry expression on his face.

Sendoh frowned and pulled away a little. "Are you alright Kenji? You seemed a little off."

Fujima released Sendoh from his hug and headed towards the door. "Nah… it's nothing. I'll get going then. I shall not disturb couples who are night owls." He smirked as he opened the door to exit. "Bye!"

Sendoh and Koshino blushed as Fujima exit. Koshino stood up to close the door.

"Bye Kenji! We'll meet again on our friendly match next week!" Sendoh yelled as the door was slammed closed by Koshino. "Hiro-kun you don't have to slam the door that hard you know. You'll make it crack. Besides you're sick. You should rest and not exercise." He smirked as he gave Koshino a hug.

Koshino pushed him away as he walked towards to tidy up Sendoh's bag. "You need a bath. You stink Akira."

Koshino pushed Sendoh all the way into the bathroom and slammed the door startling Sendoh with an unexpected and unlike Koshino manner. However, Sendoh shrugged it off thinking that it was just a flare of Koshino's infamous temper. Koshino however, was smirking and grinning with satisfaction.
