"A-achoo!" the sound of a harsh snuff followed by a rough cough ran throughout the courts of Rikkai Dai Junior High one cold morning.

"Kirihara-kun are you alright?"

"Uhh Yagyuu-senpai I'm fine" a moan escaped the Junior Ace's lips with another snuff of his runny nose,

"Hey Akaya I doubt you're okay, you're nose is really red" a buddle of bright crimson came jumping over careful not to get too close to the sick boy

"I'm fine senpai I want to play tennis!"

"I don't think you can Akaya" Jackal spoke up

"But-!"

"You're sick Akaya, if you stay you'll get everyone else sick and make yourself even worse" Yanagi came from out of nowhere holding his clipboard and taking notes just as he was keeping watch over the junior

"I'm f--fine achoo!"

"Gah! Watch where your sneezing bakaya!" Marui jumped behind the large Yanagi who would have glared if his eyes opened.

"Gee thanks for caring so much senpai-tachi" sarcasm in his voice Akaya tried to glare only with his hunched shoulders and red nose clashing with his pale face and stark black wild hair the junior appeared 'cute' rather than 'intimidating' making his upperclassmen smile at his innocence.

"You're too cute Bakaya but sadly you got to go" Marui smirked patting his kouhai on the head, quite happy the latter was too tired to do anything to stop him.

"But-!"

"No buts Akaya I'm sure Yukimura knows already" Yanagi smiled at the confused look in those large green orbs,

"What do you-?"

"Here he comes" Jackal spoke up turning his chin towards the blur haired captain strolling to them with their vice-captain following not that far behind him.

"Oh no"

"What's everyone doing standing in the middle of the courts?" the kind voice of their captain asked innocently, as if the guy didn't know what was up.

"Akaya where are you going?! Yukimura is talking to you!" Sanada barked just in time to see the junior with his back heading the other way

"Uhh I'm uh- late for--- my-"

"Akaya please show me your face"

"…I have to go though buchou"

"Akaya please come here" without so much as raising his voice everyone on the courts stopped with what they were doing, at the shear fear and power in their captain's voice

"Hai" slowly the second year turned on his heel and made his way to his idol with a red face, trying his best to hold his nose from running

"Look at me" placing his hand on his beloved kouhai's chin, peridot green met with light sapphire, "You know you're sick Akaya"

"..hai" came a dejected response, that broke even the captains heart to hear.

"I'm sorry Akaya but you have to go home"

"But buchou!"

"No buts Akaya, I want you to rest and then come back all better" giving his favorite kouhai his loving smile, Akaya almost gave in had he not the drive to be Number One.

"But if I miss today then I miss today's practice and then I'll fall behind and-"

"Akaya listen to Yukimura when he-!"

"It's fine Sanada, Akaya please do this for me?"

"…fine"

"Thank you, now you need a babysitter to walk you home"

"No I don't-!" a light glare was sent his way and instantly the Ace was silenced, just because he fell asleep on the bus once or twice a few….dozen times doesn't mean he needs a babysitter! He was thirteen damn it!

"Ah I know! Come here will you!" calling over the courts to one person, making its way through the crowd a certain colored hair person stood in front of Akaya and the Junior Ace could have sworn, his temperature fell a whole five degrees.

"Tch why do I have to baby sit you" with his hands stuffed deep in his uniform pockets Niou walked ahead of the Junior Ace.

"It's not like I'm happy with this either senpai"

"Yeah well you still get to stay home"

"With a runny nose, coughing my lungs outs, and a sore throat, yeah I'm real lucky" rolling his eyes at his bleached haired senpai

"Cry baby"

"I'm not a baby!" glaring at the third year, Akaya felt that this day was going to be really long.

Fortunately the two finally made it to Akaya's house, with his parents out to work and no one home, the teens made themselves comfortable.

"Nice place you got kid"

"Thanks my dad works with international stuff and my mom works with the hospital" taking off his shoes Akaya planted his butt on his father's large chair and began to turn on the TV when

"What are you doing?"

"Huh? I'm going to watch TV" came his innocent response much to the amusement of Niou.

"You're sick kid, if you didn't get better Yukimura will know I didn't do anything to help you"

"I didn't know you cared so much Niou-senpai" smirking at the Trickster who in turn shock his head

"I don't care, but Yanagi will most likely already have an estimation of your recover time, and if you don't meet it Yukimura will know and I think you can guess what he'll do to me if his precious baby isn't better soon" smirking at the light red aligning the juniors face, the icy blue haired boy grabbed the remote and turned off the TV.

"I'm not his precious baby"

"Heh tell that to him"

"…."

"Didn't think so, now get up stairs"

"Why? I can sleep on the couch"

"With a big screen TV in front of you? I don't think so brat"

"I have a PS up there, you know?"

"Then I'll have to unplug it"

"Then I'll plug it back in when you leave"

"Just get up there brat, you're getting annoying"

"No, I want to stay down here"

"Get up stairs Akaya or I'll force you" seeing the boys face pale a little whiter at the threat Niou smirked when defiance gleamed behind a pair of tired orbs. He taught the brat well but-

"You wouldn't dare" he knew the older boy wouldn't. he couldn't….could he?

"Oh? You want to try me?" letting his voice go low with tease, Niou saw a darker shade of red align the kids cheeks and he knew it wasn't because of the cold.

"This is my house and I call the shots senpai! You're the guest you have to listen to me!" with his butt still in the chair, Niou had Akaya cornered and did well to let the kid know. For the moment he finished that sentence Niou pressed his nose to the tip of Akaya's red one until he could feel the brat's breath on his lips.

"Wrong" and instantly the junior was lifted off his butt and over the board shoulder of his upperclassman

"N-Niou-senpai! Let me down!"

"I told you I'd force you up there brat, you chose not the listen to me"

"Put me down!"

"If I did that you'd tumble down the stairs and we don't want you hurting yourself"

"I mean it Niou-senpai! Let me down!" feeling his face burning with blush at the fact that he was being carried by his senpai up the stairs to his room like a baby and that his senpai's hand was really close to his butt only made it worse.

"Aww but your butt is real soft Akaya, did you know that?"

"S-shut up you molester!" he wanted to continue to fight but another fit of coughs filled his voice and the wild haired boy went limp and quiet.

It wasn't time for the pupil to out teach the teacher. "Much better"

"Wake up brat" with a light kick to his shin Akaya woke up with a startle

"W-wha! What happened! Oww why does my knee hurt!"

"Don't know, don't care, eat" placing a bowl of hot soup on the kouhai's unexpecting lap, Akaya looked to his senpai who took it as his own right to use Akaya's desk chair and place it beside his bed.

"What is this?"

"Soup, now eat!" taken aback a little Akaya looked at the food a bit curiously and cautiously when "It's not poisoned brat"

"How do I know?"

"Do you want me to force feed you-?"

"NO! no it's fine! I can eat on my own" thinking back to being carried up the stairs was proof enough that whatever Niou said he'd do, he would do. And so the kid began to slowly eat his soup trying to ignore the pair of blue eyes on his every move until- "okay why do you keep watching me senpai!?"

"Because its fun watching you squirm" the Trickster responded with his signature smirk

"You're a jerk senpai"

"And you're annoying but we all can't be perfect now can we?"

"..tch" going back to his food, the room got quiet but before long Akaya had finished his soup and placed it on the floor by the foot of his bed, only to notice his room was really quiet. Looking over to where his senpai was seated Akaya had to hold in his laughter at the sight before him,

Niou Masaharu, the Trickster of Rikkai Dai Fuzoku had fallen asleep on his chair, a light snore on his lips.

"What an idiot! Who falls asleep watching someone eat!" smirking at his senpai, Akaya made sure to never forget this! This was a once in a life time opportunity to see a side Niou never let anyone else see, hell didn't even know existed.

Of course Akaya also saw this as an opportunity to escape and go practice tennis on the courts not far from his house, since he wasn't allowed at school. Quietly the junior removed his blankets and got off his bed, grabbed his jacket and was about to make a quick escape when he looked back at his blue haired senpai. Lightly taking a few steps closer, Akaya lowered himself until he got a good look at his senpai's face, then suddenly for some unknown reason Akaya was flushed with an urge to kiss the Trickster. Instantly the boy drew his head back from the blue haired third year and tried his best to calm his racing heart, and beat red face.

"What the hell is wrong with me! I-it has to be the cold…yeah that's it" so if that was the case then why was his body being drawn closer to the sleeping teen? And again Akaya found his face dangerously close to the older boy, this time, time stood still and the junior let his head lower itself closer to the blue haired teen; until he could feel the latter's breath on his lips.

"….one kiss and I'm gone!" he murmured lightly, closing his eyes he let his face cool a little before letting his lips touch the tip of Niou's lips in a light peck that may have lasted a littler longer than he had planned but still the kid ran out of his own room as if the devil were at his heels.

Closing the door behind him, Akaya failed to notice a pair of blue orbs wide awake watching the door close and a smirk on a gleaming face.

"Brat"

Me- and to think this was done while I have a cold just like Akaya! Haha I guess you can say this was inspired by my cold and the fact that I'm really into the Trick pair right now!
