Not All About Tennis
7. Speak
"Bunta, talk to me please," Niou begged as he followed the pinknette through the tennis courts. "I can't apologize if I don't know what I did."
Akaya – who was walking next to Marui – glanced back at him, "I think that's the problem, Niou-senpai. Marui-senpai wants you to know what you did without him telling you so you'll apologize honestly.
Niou's mouth fell open slightly and he couldn't help asking, "Since when do you know so much about this kind of thing, brat?"
"I guess it's since Marui-senpai always comes to talk to me when he can't make it over to Hyoutei to talk to Akutagawa-san."
Niou noticed how Marui's shoulders tensed slightly at the mention of the blonde and something clicked inside his head, "Are you mad at me because I snapped at you for not talking to me about your problems?" He noticed the subtle moving of pink locks and let out a breath. "God, Bunta, I'm not mad at you if that's why you're ignoring me. I just wish you would rely on me a bit."
Marui was quiet for a minute before saying, "Akaya you're going with Sanada and 'Mura after school, right?"
"Eh? Yeah," Akaya replied – voice full of confusion. "Their taking me on a date. Why?"
Marui turned around to face Niou, "Want to go play laser tag with me after school?"
A grin spread across Niou's face, "Obviously."
