Marui's legs were kicked in the air as he laid stomach down on his bed, his phone pressed against his ear, "So? Are you having fun?"

Niou hummed on the other end, "Yeah. Echizen and I went to see this magic show, it was a little lame but good none the less."

"I wish I could have gone," Marui sighed, thinking about Yukimura's announcement that Atobe would be taking them, his own team, and Seigaku to New York. "I'd have liked to see the city with you."

"Start studying, you dumb shit. Then Yukimura would let you go to these things. I'd actually get to see you."

"It's hard," the redhead exclaimed as he rolled around. "I can't study with you here but I can't study with you gone either. I miss you to much." It was a simple confession, something that both of them knew was true, but the other end of the line went silent for a minute. "Masaharu?"

"Sorry, needed to get away from Akaya and Hiyoshi. Sanada's got me babysitting while he does whatever it is he does with Atobe and Tezuka," Niou answered. There was the background sound of a door clicking before Niou's voice softened, "I miss you too. Like a lot. Let's not do this whole, ocean away thing again okay?"

"Definitely never again," Marui answered. He stared at his ceiling for a moment, both of them quiet, before saying, "So tell me about the show."

E/n: Okay so for those of you didn't know, the reason you didn't get an update for MONTHS was because my sister completely wrecked my old computer – placing a giant black ink spot all over the inside screen- but now I've got a new one and any of you that are still around should look forward to the new drabbles!
