Chapter 4:

Sena's POV:

When Sena woke up from his long nap, the first sight that greeted his eyes was one of Hiruma-san. It was not a bad sight to wake up to. Hiruma-san was slouching in his seat and was staring out the window deep in thoughts, not fully paying attention to anything else and not noticing that Sena was awake. Sena wasn't sure why he wanted to but nevertheless took this opportunity to fully check out Hiruma-san. He had this feeling that it was a rare occurrence to catch Hiruma-san unguarded like this. His eyes started at the bottom and took in those long and strong legs encased in a pair of black skinny jeans. They weren't painted-on tight, but left a lot for one to visual about, especially as Sena's eyes moved upwards. He could feel his cheeks and some other region of his body heating up as his imagination went to work painting a detailed picture of Hiruma-san without that restricting garment on. Sena quickly swept his eyes over that region and moved on to the upper half of the body. There Hiruma-san was wearing a tight black t-shirt that hugged his lean body perfected and completed his black ensemble. Sena stopped for a moment to chuckled at the all black outfit Hiruma-san was wearing; he just knew that this was Hiruma-san go to outfit. Sena thought it was weird that he remembered little details about Hiruma-san like this, but he just ignored it and put it aside as his memory being wacky.

Sena continued his inspection and moved his eyes upward to Hiruma-san's face only to see a pair of eyes staring back at him. One raised eyebrow and one wide grin later, Hiruma asked,

"You like what you see, squirt?"

Sena felt the blush on his face spreading. It wouldn't have surprised him to see his face bright red. Hiruma-san was supposed to be staring out the window and not at him. It was a repeat of the first day Sena was awake. Sena sighed in resignation to his fate and opened his mouth in preparation for an excuse, any excuse that would get him out of this situation, but what came out of his mouth was,

"It's not bad. I've seen better"

Sena's face was nonchalant as he said these words, but inside his brain, he was freaking out. WTF did he just say? For a moment, Sena thought his mouth actually had a mind of its own, but after he calmed down slightly, he knew he was being ridiculous. He had simply blurted out the thought that was on his mind. He couldn't take it back now. He had to continue with what he had started, but somewhere on the back of his mind, he knew this was more than a little out of character for him. On the other hand, he was kinda happy that he said this instead. He could have pictured how the other way would have paved out. He would have been flustered and stuttering as he made excuses after excuses, saying them all because none of them would have sounded right or believable. He would be talking nonstop as he spilled excuses as fast as his mind could conjure them up, his words would come out fast and in such a jumble that it would sound like a list of mumbled nonsense. It would have been embarrassing. He somehow knew that this is what the old Sena would have done and he also knew that he wanted to change that bad habit. He felt that the Sena before the accident was gradually changing as a reaction to his new love for football and his friends and that this was one of the goals that he wanted to reach. He wanted to speak freely, unrestricted by his personal qualms. It might seem silly to say he changed by just saying a few words, but when his mouth spoke for itself, he experienced a sense of relief, a sense of "yeah, I said it, what are you going to do about it?"

Hiruma's POV:

Hiruma was shocked. Did he just hear what he just heard? He was speechless for about a minute before he regained his senses. Was the squirt even aware of what he just said? He was slightly offended but the big issue was that it was totally unexpected and out of character. Hiruma chuckled mentally. This could be very interesting, he thought. Once again, his eyebrows were raised and his smile got wider,

"Really? I don't believe it. Whose better looking than me?"

"Well…a lot of people. More than half of the people present in the room when I first woke up were really good looking. The white haired guy, the pink haired guy, the so black my hair is blue guy, the other super tall black haired guy, and that's just to name a few. Too bad I don't know their names, it would have been nice…."

Hiruma cleared his throat a few time (in annoyance) and Sena got back on track, though it was apparent that he was more than slightly embarrassed. That dreamy expression on Sena more than showed that he was off in la la land.

"Um, there's also people in our team that are good looking. For example, Jumonji-san. His scar on his right cheek is pretty sexy…" said Sena trailing off once again

Hiruma cleared his throat once again as one of his eyebrows began to twitch. This squirt. What in the world is he thinking about what that expression on his face?

"You've only been awake for around two hours at most in the past two days and what did you spend your time doing? Checking out guys and having illicit daydreams. You're such a pervert, squirt" Hiruma crackled sounding more malicious than he intended.

"illicit? Pervert?" Sena repeated with a raised eyebrow and a frown. "last thing I checked, it wasn't against the laws to daydream, even if the day dream is more of a wet dream"

Who knew the squirt could make such an expression and look so delicious doing so, Hiruma thought to himself. What is he saying? It's hard to focus on his words when his lips is so distracting.

"wait a minute" Sena continued on with furrowed brows in concentration "My memory is fuzzy but I remember that time I saw your EXTENSIVE porn collection on your laptop. No wonder you protect that laptop like it's your life. And that wasn't the only time…"

Shit, no one was suppose to know about that, but it's nothing to be really embarrassed about, thought Hiruma. His poker face was only marred by a slight frown

"I think you didn't notice me that time. I think I was outside the door. Yes, that was it, I couldn't go inside. I arrived early for practice and was about to go inside, but I saw that you were watching your collection through the slight opening of the clubroom door…"

Shit, Shit, Fuck, I hope it wasn't recent. Fuck, it better not be that time, Hiruma thought.

"Of course, it was too embarrassing for me to go in. I turned around to leave, but I heard a name coming from you. What was it again? I really can't recall, but it made me stop and blush. I think it was the name of somebody I know. Who was it? Who do you like, Hiruma-san? Shit, it really annoys me that I can't remember anything. I know it was a recent memory. I think it was one day before the accident. Can you tell me Hiruma-san? It is rude to ask you this, but then again, I don't think this is a normal conversation we are having"

Shit, fuck, shit, shit, fucking shit. Out of all the times, the one time he didn't want to be caught by the shrimp, he was caught. Shit. There is no fuckin way he is telling the shrimp the name. No fuckin way. How will he get out of this mess? He have to quickly close this subject. Quickly before the shrimp remembers. Shit, thought Hiruma.

"Hmm…that day? It's nothing like what you're thinking shrimp. It was merely the name of a celebrity," replied Hiruma

"Oh" said Sena getting up from his hospital bed "Wait, don't move an inch Hiruma-san"

What? What is the shrimp doing now? Hiruma's face was one of confusion as he watched Sena walked over to his chair and bend down slightly to his current height. Sena's face was eye level with Hiruma's and was moving closer and closer. Hiruma could feel his breathe hitching up. Was the squirt going to do what he thinks he's going to do? He stared at the rosy pink lips that were moving closer into his proximity.

*SLAP*

The fuck? thought Hiruma

"What was that for?" he said with shock plastered on his features

"A fly was on your face" replied Sena surprised at Hiruma's reaction. He pointed at the palm of his hand where the remains of the fly were sticking to.

It was this position that Sena and Hiruma was in when Mamori and Jumonji rushed in.

"Are you ok, Sena? We heard a slap. How could you Hiru—" cried Mamori before she stopped as she saw the current situation.

"What the f—" said Jumonji
