A/N: OMFG! Where the heck have I been? Sorry sorry sorry sorry. I'm not entirely sure where this story is taking me. This idea hit me in the middle of rehearsal for the play I'm currently in. I feel like Kensei should be paired with someone as well, the problem being I am not very knowledgeable with Kensei being paired with a person who is not Shuuhei, who is quite obviously taken… If you have any suggestions, please leave a review or some sort of way of communicating to me what pairing you think would be nice/cute/fun/cracky/plausible. (Personally, I think if it weren't for Shuuhei, Kensei would reproduce by spores…) Anything goes!

Gypsygrrl: Yumichika would like to keep it that way… :D Don't worry, I've figured out what will most likely happen with those two, so it will take longer. SHUUHEI WILL FIGHT FOR HIS VIRTUE. (And Kensei will be roped in with him.) This is officially dedicated to you!

Lala to the power of 2: Of course not! (Nice metaphor by the way. Guilty of being spawned by two L.A. teacher's…) Thanks for providing me some inspiration to get my butt in gear and write this chapter…

blackangelxvikkix: Thank you for taking the time to review! I'm new at writing Kensei so I'm a bit worried with him, but if he get's too OOC, take out the metaphorical tomatoes and leftovers… I'll bring my umbrella.

PearlGirl179: I'm glad I made you laugh! (I hope you didn't get caught though. Not everybody knows that yaoi doesn't stand for young attractive outgoing intellectuals… *winknudge* If you don't get it, look up Greg Ayres funny yaoi story on YouTube…) Hope you like this chapter!

Once you finish the chapter, you'll notice I didn't give Yumi a journal entry. I chose not to simply because he didn't really come in at all. (And for some reason, I have a hard time writing his thoughts… Meh. Unless I really suck at writing him and someone points it out, I'll keep trying.) He'll definitely have something to say next chapter. Enjoy!

I believe Ayesagawa has moved into phase two of his battle plan… The first week, he switched between minimal contact and soft touches to outright leering and a tiny bit of…well-disguised groping.

Good god, I feel like such a pervert writing this down…

After the…incident…a few days ago, he began...ignoring me. Let me tell you, IT IS NOT OKAY! I have no battle plan, Rangiku has placed her bet (next week! NEXT WEEK!), and Kensei…well, let's just say Kensei's had his hands full keeping the principal off my and Ayesagawa's ass. I'm jumpy and paranoid whenever I see him and my heart feels like its about to jump out of my chest, I'm so nervous. Madarame-kun was no help at all! If anything, he's supportive of both sides of this battle… I wish he would choose a side, though… (Preferably mine) and stop giving us both advice that doesn't work. "Admitting defeat," and, "Getting wasted" would not help my problem AT ALL… If anything, I feel as though Yumichika might show up and take advantage of me and-

Ayesagawa… I meant Ayesagawa.

From now on, I'm writing in pencil…

Positive point of this entry: I forced Kensei to help me with that shitload of correcting I had to do. Hahahahaha!

Shuuhei: 1

Kensei: 0

Kensei Muguruma was not an easy man to surprise, and yet Yumichika Ayesagawa managed to boggle his mind every single time he seduced his victim.

So, naturally, Kensei was not surprised, but astonished, when he walked into his classroom only to find bouquet after bouquet of flowers, every single arrangement addressed to Shuuhei. (Or at least he figured, 'Shuuke ;)', meant Shuuhei.)

…Ayesagawa had really outdone himself this time…

He shook his head and went to sit at his desk, sneezing when he passed a particularly fragrant arrangement of gladiolus. Kensei raised an eyebrow as he looked around the room.

…He would deny it if confronted, but flowers were always a passion of his. (Not willingly, of course, he grew up with…mostly women and gay men…)

"Gladiolus: Sincere. White Camellia: Adorable. Carnation: …First love."

Kensei's eyes widened.

…Holy shit… This guy was either serious or this was a freaky as fuck coincidence…

"Kensei, I'm-whoa-"

Shuuhei stopped in the doorway, his coffee falling from his hand. The silver haired man turned and raised an eyebrow.

"It's for you."

"Kensei, I'm flattered, but I don't feel anything for you other than platonic friendship…"

Kensei snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Kid, I'm not the one who gave them to you," he growled, gently smacking Shuuhei upside the head, "It was that Ayesagawa kid."

Shuuhei chuckled good-naturedly.

"C'mon, Kensei. It's practically a jungle in here! Flowers cost lot's and lot's of money. I would know. This had to have been at least a small fortune."

"Ayesagawa's family own a flower shop," Kensei stated, "Bet if you went and got a flower dictionary thingy you'd be enlightened."

"…Why the hell would he go so far. Logic-"

"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, Shuuke," Kensei teased, smirking all the while. Shuuhei glared.

"Do NOT start that. I swear to god, if I hear that come out of ANYBODY'S mouth I'm gonna-"

"Puh-lease, kid. As if you need anymore to deal with. I mean, the only thing worse than that embarrassing nickname getting out is you getting in a relationship with someone who isn't that pixie. Imagine how they'd react!" he pointed out. Shuuhei groaned and let his head hang.

Wait.

Relationship? Wheel's slowly started turning and the devious evil being inside of Shuuhei began working.

"Kensei, my dear, dear, dear, friend…" he purred.

Oh shit…

"How much are you willing to do to win that bet?"

Oh shit.

"Don't go there, Shuuhei. I ain't gonna-"

"You bet what? Fifty, a hundred?"

Why?

"…"

"I swear to god, Kensei if you do this one little favor for me, I will forever stay out of your love life."

"…I'm not havin' sex with you, if this is what it's about."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just some public displays of affection and a teeny, tiny kiss. InfrontofAyesagawa."

"Aren't you uncomfortable with this?" Kensei asked, squirming a bit.

"I honestly wouldn't care if you were a monkey at the moment, Kensei. I need some time to sort out what I think I feel and what I actually feel…" the student-teacher said.

Kensei gulped at the face Shuuhei made.

'-existentlovelife!' he chanted as he awkwardly patted Shuuhei on the back.

"Fine," he grumbled, "But I swear, if Rangiku hears or sees anything, ANYTHING, I will kill you with a paper clip."

Shuuhei grinned and hugged him happily.

"You are- Kensei I- Thank you! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!"

Kensei coughed and uncomfortably returned the embrace.

"Yeah… I- yeah."

They separated, Shuuhei finding the floor very interesting. (Had that line been there all this time?) Kensei smoothed out his clothes and cleared his throat.

"I better go and…get rid of some of these flowers…"

"Ah! Yeah… I-I guess you might as well just put them in my car."

"Yeah, 'kay. Wanna do it now?" Kensei asked.

Anything to get rid of this awkward as hell silence…

"Sure, you grab the white ones and I'll grab those," Shuuhei directed smiling, holding the carnations and gladiolas.

'Come and get me now, Ayesagawa. I'm ready for action.'

Somewhere in a quaint flower shop, Yumichika Ayesagawa sneezed twice.
