~*Birthday Bash: Part 2*~

While the two enjoyed their own little world, the game continued. Riko and Lily got Sloth next. Which entailed Lily to beg for someone to get something for her, and she wasn't allowed to stop till someone did so. Rei and Haruichi drew a Pride card, which told them to boast about someone else in the group while simultaneously putting down another. That was relatively easy since Rei just boasted about Tonya being a better pitcher than Furuya. Even though Rei couldn't tell, Haruichi had narrowed his eyes in annoyance that she'd drawn an easier dare than the one he'd gotten last round. Chris drew a Gluttony card and handed it to Tetsu so he could get the food for him. Chris had to eat as much food as possible in a minute. Tetsu came back with the plate and Chris began, somehow managing to eat around Sawamura who was still in his lap. Jun and Kawakami were next, drawing Greed. Jun dove across the room towards the shirt Tetsu was about to put back on. Growling at his friend in a comical way. Saying 'mine' every so often. Which led to everyone cat calling 'Spitz' at him and making things worse for the older boy who shot glares at them. And finally, Furuya drew Wrath.

"I wanted to be partners with Miyuki-senpai." Furuya huffed. Taking a piece of stray food from Chris's plate and throwing it at Kuramochi.

"Furuya you bastard." Kuramochi growled. Diving across and starting yet another wrestling match.

"Oh?" Ryosuke smirked. Having drawn a card while the fight was still going on. "You don't mind if I take this one do you Grey-chan?" He sounded too happy as he handed the card over to Tonya.

"You better change out of my uniform first. I'm assuming you'll want the dumbass rolling around on the floor?" Tonya asked as Ryosuke nodded. Standing and heading back to the back room to change.

"What is he planning?" Miyuki asked as he felt Tonya move off his lap.

"Just catch Kuramochi while I find something to tie him down with." Tonya grinned.

Doing as he was told, Miyuki enlisted help to catch the fast shortstop. He, Jun, and an overly eager Sawamura, all jumped the boy. Quickly subduing him as they took him to a chair Riko had gotten at Tonya's request. The three boys held him down while the girls duck taped him into the chair. Once the short stop was secure, Tonya changed the music playing at the moment. Finding the right music to set the mood as Ryosuke walked back out. Thankfully dressed in his own clothing.

The beat began to pick up as Ryosuke slowly sauntered over to a captive Kuramochi. Grinning like a jungle cat as Ryosuke moved in time with the beat. Running his hands up and down his body slowly. Revealing those pink orbs just a bit again. Holding Kuramochi captive as the short stop found himself staring like an idiot. Watching Ryosuke's every little move. The way his fingers danced over his skin, the slight part in those pale lips, the way he tilted his head to reveal more of his neck. Knowing he had Kuramochi in the palm of his hand. And he hadn't even gotten to the good part yet.

"That card told him to give someone a lap dance didn't it?" Miyuki asked. Feeling his face growing slightly hot from the show.

"He wanted to get back at Kuramochi." Tonya grinned.

"Is it me or does anyone else feel like we should be throwing dollar bills out there?" Riko asked as she looked around the group.

Lily cat called, Rei was covering her face, and Haruichi didn't know if he should look away or not. Furuya finally made the decision for him as he covered the poor boy's eyes. Fighting off a blush himself. Kawakami felt like his face had been slapped, both Jun and Tetsu were holding their noses for fear that blood would come out, and poor Sawamura knew he'd never see his senpai in the same light again. Growing squirmish, not realizing what it did to a certain catcher who had his eyes on the young pitcher in his lap.

By now Ryosuke had lowered himself into Kuramochi's lap. He was slowly grinding on the boy. Feeling what the friction was doing to Kuramochi who was desperately trying not to enjoy things. Not that Ryosuke was helping any by leaning in close so that Kuramochi could feel his breath on him. As the song drew to a close, Ryosuke stopped moving. Just sitting on Kuramochi now as he stared into his eyes. Slowly trailing his fingers up his dark skin and stopping at his face. Feeling Kuramochi shiver underneath him.

"Still think I'm cute?" Ryosuke whispered. His patented smirk coming back as the song ended. He lifted himself off Kuramochi, satisfied with his performance as Rei took pity on the poor boy and cut him free from the chair.

"Toilet!" Was all Kuramochi said as he bolted from the room.

"Well, I'm glad you're my partner Lily. Because something tells me it'll come down to us and those two." Riko grinned as she looked at Tonya and a still smug Ryosuke.

"The game has only begun ladies. And I have yet to lose at it." Tonya grinned. Calm as could be.

'Just what did we get ourselves into?' The others all thought as they realized that things were only going to get worse from here.

"There's quite a bit of sexual tension on your team isn't there?" Tonya whispered to Miyuki who nodded.

Looking around the room it was obvious to see. Chris was doing his best to play it off, but an oblivious Sawamura wasn't helping the situation any. He kept glancing up at Chris with a look that said he was contemplating something like what Ryosuke had just done. Furuya was doing his best to hide his blush while Haruichi buried his face in his chest. Trying his best to hide his own bright red cheeks at having witnessed his brother performing a dance like that. And Ryosuke? He'd gone to 'check on' Kuramochi.

"How is it none of you are really bothered by this?" Miyuki asked. Looking to the other three girls who were chatting away like nothing was wrong.

"We play this game all the time. Asides from one of you possibly popping a boner on us if we have to do something with one of you guys, there's really not a whole lot that could embarrass us. But it is interesting to play with guys for once." Riko shrugged.

"So, is the game going to continue or are we going to wait on those two?" Rei asked from where she was lounging on the ground.

"Something tells me they'll be awhile. Miyuki and Tonya can partner up for now." Lily said as she motioned for Miyuki to draw since it was his turn. His eyes lighting up when he saw it.

"Gluttony." He smirked. Rushing to the table as the rest wondered why he was so happy. The sounds of a blender going could be heard as the girls all swallowed hard.

"He would draw that card." Riko shivered as the guys all looked to Tonya for clarification.

"Card said to make something for everyone, excluding us, and they have to eat it. Or in this case drink." Tonya grinned as her partner returned with a tray full of small cups filled with whatever he'd decided to make for the others.

"Not fair. I swear Grey-senpai always manages to avoid group dares." Rei whined. Knowing that if their partners hadn't disappeared Tonya would have to suffer with them.

Tetsu was the first to finish the nasty stuff. Just barely keeping it down as he wiped the excess off his mouth. Nodding at the others to continue unless they wanted to be forced to down shots in record time. Which made everyone shudder to think what would happen once the alcohol began to flow. Reluctantly they all downed the nasty stuff, a few falling over in the process as Riko reached out for a card. They drew another Sloth card. Riko crawled across the circle to Kawakami and laid her head on his lap. Showing him the card as proof. Glad to have a chance to rest, even if it was at the expense of someone else. The boy did his best to control his red cheeks as Rei and Haruichi went next.

"Oh come on!" Rei whined. Looking to Haruichi to save her till Tonya caught on to what she was hoping her senpai wouldn't notice.

"You drew that card didn't you?" Tonya asked. Watching as Rei weakly shook her head.

"You know our rules Rei. Regardless of whose turn it is, you have to do it." Lily grinned. Rei sighed, resigning herself to her fate as she turned to Haruichi for help. Picking the first boy she happened to look up at as her target.

Enlisting the help of Furuya as well, the two boys got up and sat on either side of Jun. Holding his arms down and keeping them pinned his side as Rei took a deep breath. Locking eyes with Jun as she slowly crawled towards him. Keeping her eyes on his. Slowly pulling herself up into his lap and putting her hands on his shoulders. Slowly sliding them up and then back down the other side as she kept her eyes on Jun's. Leaning just a tad closer and pressing part of her chest to his in a suggestive way. It was then the older boy's face broke out in a fire engine red blush. Signaling that the dare had been completed. Rei quickly scrambled off him and towards her senpai to hide her own embarrassed face.

"I'm proud of you Rei! That's the first time you've ever drawn that card and finished the challenge." Tonya cooed like a proud mother.

"First time?" Chris asked as Lily nodded.

"For some reason she keeps drawing that seduction card and hasn't been able to complete it till now. Our rules say regardless of partner, you draw a card you have yet to complete at least once you have to do it." Lily smiled down at her hiding kohai who was peeking out from behind her. Mouthing 'sorry' to Jun who looked away from the girl promptly.

Tetsu drew next and got Wrath. Making his job easy as he grabbed the left over goo and dumped it on Jun to help cool him down. Earning a glare from his friend. Kawakami drew next, getting a Pride card. He cleared his voice and briefly sang part of one of his favorite songs. Rather well at that. Grinning smugly as those who'd gotten the difficult dares this round as they shot glares at him. Sawamura reached out for a card and paled when he read it. To make matters worse, it was a team dare.

"Pole dance?" Furuya asked. Looking out to the group for help.

"They drew that one!" Tonya howled. Doubled over as she already knew what was to come.

"I think we might have our first drop outs." Riko smirked from where she lay on Kawakami's lap. Finally feeling better from the nasty concoction Miyuki had made them drink.

"Do I even want to know?" Chris asked, shaking his head as the images already began forming in his mind. Even he was a hormonal teenager with needs.

"Please, read what the card tells you do to." Lily smiled innocently. Even though she was just urging the boys to embarrass themselves.

"It says to do a pole dance with a partner. If no pole is available…." Sawamura whined. Tears already streaming down his face.

"If no pole is available then one must act as a human pole." Riko finished.

"Which means one of you will be bumping and grinding on the other." Jun smirked. Glad to see someone else suffering for once.

The two pitchers shared a look before shaking their heads. Both effectively dropping out. It was then Chris excused himself from the group. Unable to hold his composure for much longer due to his overactive imagination. It didn't take much longer for the others to drop out after that. Haruichi refused to spank one of the guys, Tetsu wasn't about to eat another nasty concoction, Jun refused to whine and pout (his pride wouldn't allow it), and Lily couldn't do a body shot off someone without her nose trying to bleed. Leaving Tonya and Miyuki the winners. The shorter brunette was grinning from ear to ear as she poured the first round of shots for everyone. It was then those that had been missing had decided to come back. A bright red Sawamura, an embarrassed Chris, a very pleased Ryosuke, and Kuramochi who was holding his lower back. Refusing to look anyone in the eye.

"Here's to a good night! Now let's start the real fun!" Tonya toasted as everyone downed their shots.

Both Sawamura and Furuya couldn't stop coughing when they realized how nasty the stuff tasted. Wondering how the rest, even Haruichi and Rei, had managed to do theirs in one go. And everyone except Tonya and Miyuki had four more shots left. Sawamura almost protested, but something about the menacing way Riko looked at him made him stick it out. By the time he'd finished it all off Chris had to guide the poor boy to the couch to sit down while Haruichi hefted Furuya to the bathroom. As for the rest? They just blended back into the party as games of beer pong and king's cup began.

It didn't take long for the house to grow rowdy. Between Tonya and Jun hollering back and forth over the beer pong table, to Kuramochi who was cussing up a storm at how much he was having to drink over in king's cup. He was pretty sure Ryosuke wasn't done torturing him just yet as the pinkette just sat there smugly sipping on his drink. Somehow a shogi game had started between Lily and Tetsu off in the far corner. That was an interesting sight since both were tipsy and could barely see straight. And currently engaged in flip cup was Rei, Haruichi, and Furuya against Chris, Sawamura, and a recently defeated Jun.

"Hey, there you are." Tonya breathed when she finally found Miyuki outside sipping on his drink. With all the hollering going on inside, he'd managed to sneak away.

"Needed some air. Plus I think Jun-san is about ready to strangle me for knocking Rei-chan into him by accident. Once or twice." He chuckled as Tonya plopped down in his lap. Taking a huge swig of her drink. "Since when did I say you could use me as a chair?"

"You offered in the game earlier. Besides you're comfortable." She shrugged, making herself comfortable as she leaned back into Miyuki.

"You okay?" Miyuki asked. Having seen how much she'd downed earlier in a short span of a few minutes.

"Huh? Oh yeah this is only my second cup." She grinned, giggling a bit as she did so.

"Two cups of spiked punch, plus four shots earlier." He counted off. Sipping on his drink once again. "I think you're close to being drunk."

"Not yet. I'd need at least three more shots. No, I'm just doing enough to numb the pain since it would be bad to mix my meds and alcohol." Tonya muttered, swirling her drink around a bit.

"Knees?" He guessed. Automatically putting his legs out a bit further so that she was sitting in a hole and her legs were propped up just a bit by his.

"Yeah. Not bad, just the damn weather. Anyways, shouldn't you be the one working on getting drunk? It's your party after all." She narrowed her eyes. Turning and looking up at Miyuki. Wondering why he didn't seem in higher spirits.

"Maybe I am and you just don't know it?" Miyuki smirked as he leaned closer to her face.

"No, you're still the same old annoying ass Miyuki." She huffed. Relaxing back into him as she felt an arm loop around her waist. "So Kuramochi tells me you were going bat shit crazy all week long trying to figure out what we were up to. Says you even glared at him a couple of times." Miyuki just looked away. Count on that observational ass to rat him out to her. "What did you think we were doing?"

Miyuki remained silent. Refusing to look down at the inquisitive girl in his lap. Tonya narrowed her eyes once again as she looked up at him. Determined to get the truth out of him one way or another. Knowing a sure fire way to make him talk as she pounced. Pushing him down hard and pinning him beneath her as she straddled his hips. Stealing his glasses and putting them on her head before pinning his arms down.

"Talk. Or you won't get your glasses back for the rest of the night." She threatened. Sober Tonya was bad enough. A slightly tipsy Tonya who was bound and determined to get the truth out of him was worse. Miyuki knew if he didn't start talking she would take off and leave him to stumble around till someone took pity on him and decided to help him go get his spare glasses. Which he didn't see happening tonight. Especially if he happened to run into Jun first.

"Alright fine. I thought you had taken an interest in Kuramochi and he'd asked you out. Wouldn't be the first time he's gone after the friend of someone on the team." Miyuki admitted. Although, after tonight he highly doubted Ryosuke would let the short stop go after another girl after staking his claim.

"That's why you were in such a foul mood?" Tonya asked. Suppressing her laughter the best she could. Even with his poor sight Miyuki could tell she was about to burst into laughter.

"That….and it pissed me off that you were going to someone else instead of me for help." A light blush crossed his face as he averted his gaze.

"You mean Miyuki gets jealous?" Tonya asked with mock surprise. Snickering to herself as she pulled the glasses off her head and put them back on Miyuki's face.

"Is that what that was?" He asked. Adjusting his glasses as Tonya leaned on to his chest.

"Yep." She tapped his nose. Smirking at the annoyed look he was giving her as he pushed himself up on to his elbows. "See, you're not the heartless bastard you lead everyone to believe you are. You're human like all of us. As much as you probably hate to admit." Tonya shrugged.

"Thanks for the free shrink session, but think you can move now?" Miyuki griped. Bucking his hips a bit to remind Tonya where she was sitting.

"Nope." Tonya said, laying out on him as Miyuki just barely caught himself from falling back on to the porch.

"Isn't this just a tad bit unfair?" Miyuki asked as Tonya glanced up at him.

"Maybe." She shrugged. Getting comfortable again. "So, what did the birthday boy wish for earlier? Or is it a secret?"

Figuring she wouldn't get an answer since Miyuki wasn't talking, Tonya just let the silence fall over them. Miyuki reached out for her left over drink and finished it off before lying back. Looking up at the covering above them. Wrapping an arm around her waist as the two lied there. Lost in their own little world once again. Neither saying a word to complicate the situation. Just enjoying the presence of the other as they'd grown accustomed to. But the longer they lied there in silence, the more the alcohol in Tonya's drink had begun to affect him. Riko hadn't been lying when she'd said Tonya had gotten some of the stronger stuff. Weird thoughts began to invade his mind. Like how soft Tonya's hair was, how good she smelled, how cute she looked curled up on him, the usual sappy thoughts. Miyuki frowned to himself, realizing exactly where this train of thought was leading him. Shaking his head. Not sure if he wanted to venture down a path he'd never even contemplated till now. Deciding he needed to speak before his thoughts really took a turn down an even darker road.

"Closer." Miyuki finally whispered. Drawing Tonya's attention as she propped herself up on his chest to look down at him. "I want to try and be closer to you."

"I'd say we're pretty close right now." Tonya giggled. Receiving an annoyed look from Miyuki as he rolled his eyes.

"I meant as friends. It seems like you're always doing a lot for me and I barely doing anything for you. So, that was my wish. For us to be closer." Miyuki shrugged.

"I wouldn't say that you barely do anything for me. It took me less time to trust you with my pain issues than Riko or Lily. Despite you claiming not to be good at this whole friendship thing, you're doing fine Miyuki." Tonya smiled. Tilting her head at him.

"Kazuya." He said. Surprising Tonya as she stared at him in confusion. "From now, on its Kazuya. I said I wanted us to be closer didn't I?"

He gently flicked her in the forehead. This time he was on the receiving end of an annoyed look. Miyuki wasn't sure what possessed him to have her call him by his first name. It was the only thing he could think of to show how serious he was though. Very few people had earned the privilege. But for some reason, it felt like so much more when he gave Tonya the option to use his first name.

"Kazuya, huh?" Tonya muttered as she rubbed the spot he flicked. It was still stinging a bit.

A bolt of electricity shot through him upon hearing his name. It gave him a feeling that he couldn't even begin to describe. A warmth spread through his body that he'd never felt before. It disappeared as quickly as it had set on. Miyuki didn't know why, but he wanted it back. Badly.

"Hey, what happened?" Tonya asked. Reaching up lightly to touch the scratches on his cheek.

"Dove for a ball." He muttered. Miyuki glanced up to see Tonya prop herself up on her elbows as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"You were distracted again weren't you?" She guessed as Miyuki held her gaze.

"Yep. It was your fault. Again." Miyuki smirked. "It's only right you should kiss it and make it feel better."

It was just a joke, but he watched as Tonya leaned forward. Gently pressing her lips to the scratches. At the slight contact, the same warm feeling shot through Miyuki as when she'd used his name. He felt like he was re-energized as his heart began to beat faster. He sat up, moving Tonya with him as he looked down at her. Confusion clear in his eyes as Tonya remained sitting in his lap. Waiting for the usual smartass comment from him. The two just staring at each other. Neither one moving as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Hey Tonya! Where's your first aid kit?" Riko asked, poking her head outside. Breaking the spell on the brunettes as Tonya turned towards her friend.

"Hang on." Tonya called back. The red head disappearing back inside to leave the two alone. "Great. Which dumbass hurt themselves now?"

Sighing, Tonya stood up. Leaving Miyuki with an empty feeling. The warmth from her body slowly disappearing from his own. Miyuki tried to recall that feeling again. Yet, it kept eluding him. Never lasting for very long. It was similar to when he made a great play on the field. A sort of high. One that he thought he'd never experience off the diamond. Until now that is.

_._._

It was late morning when Miyuki began to wake. Yawning loudly as a throbbing pain began to consume his head. He groaned to himself as he reached out. Trying to find the desk so he could reach his glasses. He suddenly found them in his grip and muttered a thanks before sliding them on to his face. Opening his eyes slowly, he was surprised to find an overly happy brunette right in his face. Causing him to jump back into his bed.

"Holy shit Tonya don't do that!" Miyuki yelled. Holding his chest as the girl snickered to herself. "What are you even doing in here?"

"I bring gifts." Tonya smiled. Holding out ibuprofen and a cold glass of water. "How's your head?"

"Worse now." He griped. Taking the pills and popping them into his mouth before chasing them with water. "Why do you look like you're not in pain?"

"Took something to kill the hang over last night. Now hurry up and get your ass out of bed! You don't want to miss this." That Chesire Cat grin appeared on her lips. For once, he didn't have to fear what she was grinning about this time.

Once the worst of his throbbing passed, Miyuki shuffled down the hall after Tonya. Stopping briefly so she could grab her phone out of her room. As he followed the overly energetic girl down the hall, images from last night came back to him. Including all the weird thoughts as well. Miyuki felt his face heat up a bit as he stared down at Tonya. He'd never had any interest in girls or friends until now. She'd really thrown a kink in the works. He could feel his body craving to be close to hers once again. To have her warmth added to his own. To feel that bolt of electricity that seemed to stimulate every single cell of his being.

"Ready?" Tonya asked. Barely containing herself as Miyuki arched a brow at her. Doing his best to not show what'd he'd just been thinking.

Tonya stepped around the corner with Miyuki following her. His hand flew to his mouth as he struggled to muffle his snickers. Now he knew why Tonya seemed so giddy. The state of the living room was priceless. Riko was on a futon in the far corner, limbs all over the place with Kawakami using her chest as a pillow. Jun was face down, hugging a pillow with Rei on top of him. Somehow Tetsu and Lily had managed to squeeze on the couch together. Both with a foot in each other's face. Ryosuke had Kuramochi tucked up in his arms, legs wrapped possessively around the shortstop. Furuya lay on his back with Haruichi's hand on his face since the boy was lying perpendicular to him with his head propped up on his chest. His legs were on top of Sawamura's who was passed out on Chris's chest, happily laying on top of him with his legs between Chris's. Drool dripping from his mouth.

"This is the real reason I wanted to throw the party. The morning after is always interesting. Happy late birthday present." Tonya giggled. Closing her phone once she was done taking pictures.

"I better get copies." Miyuki wheezed. Struggling to contain his laughter as the two headed down the hall a bit before losing it. Falling to the ground and holding on to each other as their laughter began to stir the others finally. It would be a party none of them would ever forget.


Okay so after all the fun we got back to what was really going on. Looks like Miyuki got more than he bargained for on his birthday. I'll let the theories fly around in your heads for awhile. Hope you all enjoyed the two part chapters!
