A/N: Right... This took way longer than i expected, but i did reveal some parts of Ryoma and Yukimura's past XD Please enjoy~

Chapter 8

The two stared at each other in silence for the rest of the ride in awkward silence. Ryoma gently rubbed his wristband where the cuts have been made, and Atobe just stared out the window rubbing his temples with this thumb and index finger.

"We're here." Atobe announced flatly when they arrived at Atobe's mansion. Ryoma just nodded and got out of the limo.

"Welcome home Atobe-sama" his maids greeted him automatically. Atobe ignored them as he led Ryoma and himself into the mansion. After the long tour of the great Atobe-sama's house, the two went into his room.

"Kei, about before…" Ryoma started to say but was cut off.

"It's fine. I guess I should have guessed that much." Atobe just shrugged, sat on his bed and smiled warmly.

"Kei…" Ryoma sat on Atobe's lap and put his head on the collar bone of Atobe. His head fit in perfectly, and the two snuggled for what seemed like centuries, until they were interrupted by one of Atobe's servants.

"Atobe-sama, it's time for dinner." A knock came from the door.

"Shall we have dinner Ryoma?" Atobe whispered in his ears which made him shiver slightly.

"Sure." Unlike his usual self, Ryoma was smiling. He just couldn't help but smile with Atobe near him like that. The two entered the dining area and they sat facing each other. It was a Japanese styled dinner, exactly what Ryoma liked.

"How did you know I liked Japanese?" Ryoma asked taking a scoop of rice and stuffing it in his mouth.

"I didn't." He simply replied, shrugging.

"Oh…" the two of them fell into silence again, each of them thinking about their own separate thoughts and ate.

"Ryoma… I just wish you could understand that I'm really serious about you…" Atobe, without realizing thought out loud while rubbing his temples. Nearly squirting out the miso soup Ryoma was drinking, he just blushed in silence.

'I wanna see you move move shake shake now drop (what your momma say)Move move shake shake now drop (what your daddy say)Move move shake shake now drop (what your sista say)Move move shake shake now drop drop drop drop' Ryoma's phone rang breaking the silence. Atobe's head shot up and gestured Ryoma to pick up his phone. Without looking at the caller, he picked up.

"Helo?"

"Ah Ryoma, I didn't think you'd pick up!" a soft familiar voice cooed from the other side of the phone line. Ryoma's face stiffened.

"How the fuck did you get my number." Ryoma gritted through his teeth. Atobe's expression showed shock from the way Ryoma suddenly became so… bitter.

"Well, I asked your school of course." Ryoma could hear the enjoyment in the 'child of god's voice.'

"Ok, then let me ask you another question. Why the hell did you call me?" As much as Atobe wanted to play the purpled haired prodigy, he didn't like the fact that he was still messing around with his Ryoma, therefore decided to show him who Ryoma really belonged to.

"Ryo~ hang up the phone now-" Atobe paused to look for approval, and when Ryoma nodded, he continued. "-we were still in the middle of something ahn? It's rude~" He cooed and came over to Ryoma wanting to know about the reaction.

"… Ryoma… who in the fucking hell was that?" Yukimura's voice turned dangerously icy.

"My boyfriend, Kei… I mean, Atobe." Ryoma and Atobe looked at each other and he continued. "Now if you'll excuse us…" and he hung up. Ryoma shoved his phone into his pocket and the two continued their meal in another awkward silence.

Meanwhile, at Yukimura's house, chaos. Inanimate objects were thrown, his phone which he was holding was now in pieces lying of the floor of his room. His eyes were dangerously icy but calmed himself down by rubbing his temples and sitting down on his bed. 'Calm down, they can't be serious. Atobe? Dating Ryoma? Impossible…' Trying to convince himself brought up several memories of Ryoma and himself, which didn't really help in this situation. 'If what they say is true… I must get Ryoma back, no matter what it takes.' Yukimura thought to himself putting on his usual smiling face.

Onto Ryoma and Atobe again~! XD

After the meal, the two went up to Atobe's room again, and listened to music while Ryoma sat on Atobe's lap comfortably.

"So… Ryoma, will you please tell me what happened to you and Yukimura?" Ryoma suddenly stiffened, his expression morphing into what looked like hurt.

"Um… okay, promise you won't tell ok?" Atobe nodded and closed his eyes, ready to listen. Ryoma still hesitated, but told his tale. "You see… about… 3 years ago… Yukimura and I used to date…" Atobe's eyebrows twitched but he said nothing and motioned for Ryoma to continue. "But he didn't seemed to serious about me…"

-Flashback-

"Sei~" Ryoma grinned happily as he hugged the purple haired tensai who looked surprised. But the surprised expression soon was replaced by a warm smile beaming towards the green haired boy.

"Ryo-chan" He reached down to get a whiff of Ryoma but he pushed away and pouted.

"Mou~ I told you not to call me Ryo-chan! Just call me Ryo~" Yukimura chucked and ruffled Ryoma's hair.

"okay, okay Ryo" He smiled and started to snuggle once again.

This was how it was usually when they hung out with each other or went on dates, but this all came to an end when Yukimura started to hang out with several of his 'girl friends'. Not having enough time to go meet Ryoma anymore. They just texted and called each other, and since Yukumura told Ryoma it was because of school, Ryoma couldn't really complain. Weeks passed, and they were still using their phones to contact each other. Yukimura's phone was even off at times.

After ages passed, Yukimura called.

"Ryoma?" His voice was soft, but the love in his voice disappeared.

"Seiichi!" Ryoma couldn't hide the joy from the sudden call, since it had always been him that called the purple haired boy.

"Ryoma, will you come outside? I'd like to talk to you."

"Sure, where are you?"

"In front of your house." Ryoma's heart skipped a beat and dropping his phone, he went outside.

"Sei!!" the moment he stepped outside, he ran up to him for the usual embrace but Yukimura avoided it. "What's wrong?" Ryoma asked, tilting his head.

"Ryoma… I'm really sorry. I truly am." Yukimura's eyes didn't meet the young confused tennis player.

"Why… Why are you apologizing?" Carefully Ryoma asked, as he reached out for the man that stole Ryoma's heart. Ryoma's reach was rejected as he flinched backwards to get away from Ryoma's arms.

"I… I'm sorry…" With that Yukimura turned and walked away to his house, leaving Ryoma speechless.

"No… No... Don't go… Please…" Ryoma begged into the shadows. Tears flowed down his face"

-Flash back end-

Atobe's eyes stayed closed as he continued to hug his dear little prince. "Don't worry Ryoma." Atobe whispered, "I'll never hurt you like he did and leave you." Ryoma only nodded in response, he to, closing his eyes, relaxing in the arms of the 'monkey king'.

A/N: Wahahaha!! XD okay... well... more shall be revealed, since this flashback was only Ryoma's side and thoughts (mostly) The reason why Yukimura left, still is unknown~ XD
