Not All About Tennis

Marui pulled away from the glass and turned to the team – spread out around Niou's living room, "We're stuck here. There's no way out."
"Well shit," Akaya sighed as his back leaned against the couch between Yukimura's legs. "I had plans to go shopping with Hiyoshi."
Yukimura's face darkened, "I thought I told you not to hang out with that boy."
"He's my best friend! And you're my boyfriend not my mother, Seii, so you can't tell me who to hang out with."
"Akaya," Sanada spoke in a warning tone. "We're just-"
"That's so hypocritical of you!" Akaya exclaimed standing up. "You get to hang out with Atobe!"
"That's completely different," Sanada insisted.
"It's not!" Akaya replied. "Just because you may have feelings for Atobe doesn't mean I have feelings for anyone other than you two!" A look of hurt flashed across Sanada's face and Yukimura's eyes widened in shock.
Marui took the chance to stand up and grab his Kouhei by his shoulders, "Come on, Akaya. I think Niou's got some popsicles in the fridge."
Watching them leave, Yagyuu sighed, "This is going to be a long day."
"Yeah well," Niou agreed, "Marui's stuck here to so I can deal with it."
