…if he's not sleeping with you.

"So guess what?"

Niou flopped down onto his bed, repeatedly throwing and catching the tennis ball with one hand while keeping the phone to his ear with the other.

"What?"

"I think I found someone," Sakuno said excitedly. "This one might actually work out."

"Is that so?" Niou mustered with a casual yawn. "Tell me about it."

"Okay, so you know Sengoku from Yamabuki, right?"

Niou caught the ball and paused for a moment.

"Yeah."

"Well I met him at one of Seigaku's tennis matches, and we started dating a few weeks ago."

"Oh well that's cool," Niou said, resuming his antics of catch. "How's it been going since then?"

Sakuno gave a small laugh.

"It's been going pretty well. We're still having a few problems getting further though."

"Well has he tried to make a move on you?"

"No," Sakuno stuttered. "I mean, I've hinted a few times, but nothing's really happened yet."

Niou's reflexes failed him as the ball bounced from his hand and landed on the floor with a thud.

"So let me get this straight," Niou contested, disregarding the ball on the ground and sitting straight up on his bed. "You gave Sengoku a chance to have sex with you, and he rejected it."

Sakuno shrunk back in timidness.

"I-I guess that's one way of putting it."

Niou nodded silently in comprehension and shot back his blunt response.

"Yeah, this guy's not into you."

Surprised at this, Sakuno was at a loss of what to say.

"How can you tell?"

"Dude, if I know Sengoku as well as I'm pretty sure I do, then I know that he's a total skirt chaser."

"Well what does that have to do with anything?"

"Okay, so let me tell you something real clearly," Niou said slowly. "This is a secret that we males have kept for years."

Hearing the presumed sincerity in Niou's tone, Sakuno silenced herself for the rest of what Niou had to say.

"Men are sex-driven animals. No sane man will ever pass up an opportunity to fuck unless he's just not interested."

"So what am I supposed to do?" Sakuno asked, sounding a little disconcerted. "Just stop seeing him."

Niou shrugged. "If you don't want to look like an idiot."

"So you're saying that I should just get rid of all guys who are supposedly not interested."

"Yep."

"There won't be any guys left," Sakuno said with a pout.

Over on the other line, Niou chuckled slightly at the comedy of it all.

"Okay, okay, look. If you really are looking to meet a guy, come over to my place next weekend. I'm throwing a party, and I think I might know someone who would suit you. You'll like him. I promise."

Hearing this, Sakuno smiled lightly, wondering who this someone could be. Guess it wouldn't hurt to find out now, would it?

"Alright, I'll be there."

Okay, so this chapter is little bit more highly rated than what the character ages suggest, but who cares? This is my story, and they had this point in the movie so I had to put it in here. I wrote this in like an hour, which is pretty quick because my OCDness causes me to spend hours on my work until it is absolutely perfect. I let my chaptered stuff slack a little since it's the overall story that matters, but it just annoys me to no end when in my oneshots even one sentence is a little off. Anyway, finally some more Niou/Sakuno stuff. I can't wait to write some of the more important chapters since this one is not really that important to the overall plot besides setting up for the party scene. Read and review, please! And please take pity!
