A/N: Its kinda sad there's no name for this pair but I honestly can't think of one. Hm... Abnormal Hair Color for Asians? Nah, doesn't work. The first three are haphazard but the last two are linked as I hope you'll realize! That was the point anyway.

Lemme know if I succeeded (aka R&R!) -iirse

HaruMaru "Firsts"

ONE. First Worry/Anxiety

Niou always worried that he did something wrong whenever he saw Marui without his gum. It was after all the first outward sign that something was definitely wrong.

TWO. First Words

When Niou lay defeated on the court, Marui hurried over casually, blinking in surprise when the Trickster's mouth formed the syllables to his catchphrase of "puri" as though in reassurance.

It was so reminiscent of their introduction after entering the club in second year that he couldn't help but laugh before letting the silver-haired male lean on him as they made their way to the clubroom to clean up.

THREE. First Vacation

When they whiled away their winter vacation at Marui's empty house, Niou decided life couldn't get better than this.

"No restrictions on food, bedtime… a full array of video games…" he rattled on.

"And?" Marui asked patiently – it'd happened the year before as first years as well and he knew Niou won't stop till he finished.

The trickster smiled. "I got a new one this year: Vacation gives me all the time in the world. With you."

FOUR. First Valentine's

Marui couldn't decided if he was pleasantly surprised or not when Niou unabashedly presented him with his favorite chocolates, gum and the videogame he'd been eyeing with a whispered "Happy Valentine's."

He decided to go with happy and a Cheshire smile lit his face. "I guess you're the girl in our relationship, 'Haru-chan." And left a flabbergasted Niou in his wake.

FIVE. First Request

Niou cheered inwardly at Marui's astonished face at his simply worded request and his flitting gaze from the smooth silver band to the trickster's 'serious' face.

What he didn't expect was Bunta's oucry of "Who decided I was the girl! You wanted that designation, not me!"
