FASH: Part two is locked, loaded and ready to roll, or however that saying goes.

Sena pouted, his eyebrows creasing together as he stared at the text book in front of him, but he wasn't focusing on the equations laid out before him at all, and Hiruma noticed.
"Oi, get back to work, fucking shrimp." Sena tensed slightly, eyebrows tilting even further downward as he bit his lower lip. 'Fucking shrimp this, fucking shrimp that, I have a name you know, it's not like I've forbidden you from using it, not like you'd listen to me anyways...' "Hey." Hiruma was suddenly a lot closer, leaning over Sena's shoulder and frowning at the younger boy. "What's bugging you?"
Sena turned to face Hiruma somewhat sullenly, focusing anywhere on Hiruma's face except for his eyes. "Well, you know Hiruma-san. I was just thinking that since we're spending so much time together you could stop calling me that..." Sena trailed off, watching Hiruma's eyebrows ascent. "Not that you have to call me Sena if you don't want to! It's just if my mom happened to hear you call me by-" "Sena." The brunette blinked and a small, grateful smile made it's way across his face.
"Oh good, you're happy, now get back to studying!" Normally a statement like that would be punctuated with multiple gunshots, but Sena's mother was home so he regretfully was forced leave his firearms be, which made Sena feel relieved on so many levels.
It was his third day studying Math with Hiruma and he was finally starting to get the hang of everything ie. being around Hiruma more than what he deemed safe and the equations Hiruma made him learn. And now Hiruma was finally going to stop calling him that, while his parents were in the house at least.
"Alright here's the plan, you're going to study for another twenty minutes, then I'm going to make you answer ten questions from the chapter that you've just gone over, and remember, if you don't get at least ninety percent, I'll destroy you." Sena gulped, Hiruma with guns was very scary, but for some reason the thought of what Hiruma was probably able to do with his bare hands seemed a lot worse.
Thankfully Sena was finally getting the knack of everything and the chance of Hiruma having to 'destroy' him had slimmed down by a significant percentage. But Sena still thanked every deity he could think of whenever Hiruma finished marking one of his 'tests' and told him that he could live another day.
Sena was in the middle of answering the seventh question when his mother knocked on the door, not waiting for an answer before gliding in, carrying a plate of freshly baked cookies. "I just thought that you boys could use a little snack after studying so hard." She said as she sat the plate down next to Sena's text book. "Did you guys want any tea? Juice? Milk?" Sena shook is head and Hiruma replied with a: "No thank you, Kobayakawa-san" In the polite sounding voice which still made Sena shudder a bit every time he heard it.
Sena's mom was just exiting his room when she turned around and gave Hiruma a large smile.
"Say, Hiruma-kun, do you want to stay over for dinner tonight, we'd love to have you." Her smile seemed to grow by the second and Hirums rubbed his chin in mock thought before answering. "Sure, that would be great."
Mrs. Kobayakawa practically skipped out of the room, closing the door softly behind her while Sena turned his head, openly staring at the blonde who was sitting on his bed.
"What?" Hiruma asked, snapping his gum and narrowing is eyes slightly. "Get back to work Sena." The brunette reluctantly turned back to his work, eyes skimming over the next question as he blindly reached for one of the cookies beside him.
'Two girls agree to go on a road trip, they travel (x + 5)km the first day, on the second day they drive 2km more than half the distance they traveled the first day, on the third day they drove three times as far as they did on the second day. If they drove 5000km total, what is the value of x?' Sena munched on a cookie as he wrote down his answer, cautiously glancing at Hiruma out of the corner of his eye.
"Hiruma-san, would you like a cookie, they're really good." The brunette asked offhandedly as he read question nine. Hiruma didn't even bother to glance up from his laptop before replying: "I don't like sweet things." "Hmm." 'Oh well, more for me then.' Sena thought as he grinned, reaching for another cookie as he wrote down the answer for question nine. 'Alright, just one more question to go.'
"Oi Sena, why's your mom so eager to have me over for dinner anyways?" Hiruma asked casually and Sena paused, tilting his head to the side curiously. 'Come to think of it, mom does usually seem over excited when asking Hiruma-san to stay for dinner...' "I think it's because I don't bring too many people home from school, she's probably happy that I made friends with such a n-nice, caring, smart upperclassman." Sena turned back to his work quickly and attempted to keep composed, Hiruma, nice? Hiruma being nice was one of the freakiest things he had ever witnessed.
He was just finishing up the tenth question when he heard soft scratching sounds coming from the other side of his bedroom door. With a small smile he got up from his chair and opened the door, immediately scooping his kitten Pitt into his arms and scratching him behind his ears.
"Oi, did you finish your questions yet?" "Yep, and I'm pretty sure I aced them too." Sena replied with a grin, picking up his answer sheet with one hand while Pitt was carefully cradled in his opposite arm and handing his answers to Hiruma before sitting back down at his desk.
Hiruma gazed at Sena's answers with narrow eyes as he went over the equations in his head, and small, slightly feral smile forming on his lips when he reached the last question and discovered that, just as Sena had thought, he'd aced it. He lifted his head to look at the brunette, frowning a bit when he saw him playing around with his cat.
'Pitt' had been rather troublesome the last couple of days, always scratching on Sena's door in the middle of something important and Sena would always drop everything just to let the fucking cat in and coddle it. It was annoying and distracting, but apparently not even threats of destruction or fifty laps around the block could make Sena ignore his kitten when the thing was in the mood for some attention.
'At least the damn fur-ball came after all the important stuff was finished up this time.' "Oi, Sena, what's for dinner tonight?" Sena replied without bothering to turn away from his precious pet. "I'm pretty sure mom's making sukiyaki tonight. Oh, how'd I do on the questions?"
Hiruma crept up behind him and loomed over Sena's shoulder with a smirk on his face. "You only got seven right." He said in a low voice, smirk widening when he saw Sena tense up. "B-But I thought I did really good on those questions! I was sure that I got them all right!" He exclaimed, his voice wavering as though he was about to cry, Hiruma just chuckled dryly.
"Relax it was just a joke. You got them all right." He said as he stood up straight, ruffling Sena's hair harshly when the younger boy frowned up at him. "That wasn't a very nice joke Hiruma-san, I thought you were gonna kill me for a second." Hirma huffed. "You didn't seem that scared, I think you're getting used to me." Sena cocked an eyebrow at him. "I'm getting used to you? Well, I guess so because we're spending so much time alone together..." He trailed off and blushed lightly, quickly turning all of his attention back to Pitt who had started to sniff curiously at the plate of cookies.
"No no Pitt, that food isn't good for you." He cooed as he picked it up and held it softly within his arms.
"I'm gonna go downstairs and ask my mom how much longer it'll be till supper, okay?" He said with a glance over his shoulder and Hiruma nodded, setting aside Sena's answer sheet and pulling his laptop back into his lap, sighing as soon as Sena left the room.
For several days Hiruma had been spending a lot of his free time with the shrimp, tutoring him, scaring him and ever so often hitting on him, but Sena didn't seem to notice that last bit at all. Really, did he just think Hiruma hovered over his shoulder all the time just to freak him out? And now he'd given Hiruma permission to use his given name, and hadn't protested at all when Hiruma refused to add an honorific like 'kun' to the end of his name.
'I'm going to have to be more straightforward in my tactics.' Hiruma thought with a grin, he usually hated being subtle in most situations but he hadn't wanted to scare the other boy away, but since Sena just wasn't getting it... 'Desperate times call for desperate measures.'
"Umm, Hiruma-san?" Sena called out nervously from his position in the doorway. "My mom says it should be ready soon, so you might as well come downstairs to wait." "I'll be down in a minute." The blonde replied as he started collecting his stuff and putting it back in his bag. 'Dinner with Sena's family eh? It's like I'm part of the family already.' He let out a chuckle before composing himself, it wouldn't do to have Sena's parents see him acting like he usually did.
It was strange to eat with other people after so long of eating by himself, but Hiruma could easily adapt to this situation and was conversing with Sena's parents in no time, as if it were an everyday occurrence.
"I'm just happy that Sena has found such a nice upperclassman, aren't you honey?" "Mmph." Mumbled Sena's dad, which was presumably a yes, Hiruma just smiled back. "Oh, and he's quite handsome too, don't you think Sena?" The brunette sputtered a bit. "W-What?" "Do you have a girlfriend Hiruma-kun?" Hiruma delicately patted at his lips with his napkin before answering. "No, I'm afraid between the American Football club and schoolwork I just don't have the time for one." "That's too bad, I'm sorry if spending time tutoring Sena is taking away from whatever love life you could be having." "Mom." Sena hissed through his teeth, giving Hiruma a cautious look.
"Oh, it's no problem ma'am, I actually enjoy spending time with Sena-kun, he's a nice boy." Mrs. Kobayakawa giggled behind her hand, smiling widely. "Oh you simply must stay over for dinner again sometimes, it's so refreshing to have someone else to talk to. No offence sweethearts." "None taken." Sena and his father replied in unison before focusing their attention back on their food.
"How much longer will you be studying with Sena?" "Well, we're going to have our last Math session tomorrow, then we'll go over his English on Sunday and then we'll be done, unless he has any other subjects he feels he needs help with." Hiruma sent a sly look over to Sena who quickly shook his head. "Nope, I'm good with everything else. I've just never really been good at those two subjects." He said with a bit of a wince, he always felt a bit bad for himself whenever he had to admit how horrible he was at academics.
"Anyways, Hiruma-kun, you can come over for dinner anytime you want, I won't mind having you over again and I'm sure Sena would love it." Said brunette made a strangled sound in the back of his throat. 'Love it? I think that's going a bit too far mom...'
"Thanks for the meal." Hiruma said as he finished, slowly rising up from his chair. "I should probably be getting home now." "Have a nice night Hiruma-kun, Sena, go walk your upperclassman part way home." "Wha- But-" "Mind your manners young man, I'm sure Hiruma-kun is sacrificing a lot to keep your grades up, so go and walk him home." "Ye-Yes mom." Sena replied, inwardly sulking as he made his way to the front door and put his shoes on alongside Hiruma.
"I'm supposed to walk you part way home, so uh, just lead the way and tell me when to turn back." Sena said as he followed the silent Hiruma out the door, glancing up at him curiously.
"Hiruma-san..." Sena began when they had turned off of his street. "Why do you act so nice around my parents anyways? Wouldn't it just be easier for you to act like you normally do?" Hiruma turned around and grinned at him.
"Well, I don't want my future in-laws to think I'm an unsuitable son in law." Sena stopped mid-step, eyes wide as he openly stared at Hiruma, gapping.
"I-I have a sister?! And no one ever told me!?" He asked hysterically, Hiruma rolled his eyes and sighed. "Actually, I was talking about you." He said before grabbing onto Sena's shoulders and pulling him forward so that their lips met in a harsh, demanding kiss. Sena opened his mouth to protest but Hiruma immediately took advantage of the situation and pushed his tongue in, dragging it along Sena's before pulling back, a triumphant grin on his face.
"You can go back home now, I'll see you tomorrow Sena." Hiruma said before turned around and walking away.
It took five whole minutes for Sena to regain his ability to think and move and whatever questions that were tugging at his mind anxiously couldn't be answered because the cause of all the questions had already sauntered off and disappeared.
'Future in laws? Does he want to marry me or something?!' Sena thought as he took in a shaky breath, slowly turning around and trekking home. 'This is just a cruel joke right? But... I don't think that Hiruma-san would play around with my feelings like that, because he needs my cooperation on the team, so...' He gingerly placed his fingers to his lips, blushing when he felt how swollen they had become because of the kiss.
'Hiruma-san, I just don't understand what's going on in that head of yours...'
