Hope you like it :)
CHAPTER 47
Mitsu watched as the boy finally got up and joined him at the net. He lifted a hand and the boy grabbed it. They shook hands and Ryoma was about to let go when Mitsu pulled him towards him. He quickly put his arms round the boys shoulders and hugged him, burying his face into the boy's hair. He could feel the ears twitch slightly as they brushed across his cheek. Mitsu really wanted to tell the boy his discovery of this feeling he had only with two other people, but he knew he was never good with words and didn't want to make the boy feel pressured in anyway by just dumping all his emotion on him. For now, he decided, he would wait. He kiss the boy's head before letting go.
Ryoma was speechless. Sure Mitsu gave him the small gesture of affection here and there, but this was unexpected. When the other realised him, he looked into his eyes. He couldn't work out what it was, but something had changed in the other. Ryoma was about to ask when they heard Sei.
"Ryo-Chan." He ran up and brought the sweaty boy into his arms. The cat still felt slightly dazed so just stood there and enjoyed being fussed over. He didn't realize the other three at the stairs just watching. Syu and Kei where shock and he saw Gen roll his eyes, he could on guess it was because of Sei's actions. "Ryo-Chan who won?" Ryoma looked into the ocean blue eyes of Sei.
"Kunimitsu." The cat looked behind him to see the captain putting his racket away. He used his tail to try and get Sei to loosen his gip on him, which surprisingly worked. The boy managed to turn round fully and watch Kunimitsu. He didn't know, but he felt something weird in the match. Like something strong over came him. Like it was meant to be important. He was about to force his way from Sei's embrace, but he was suddenly met with much lighter blue eyes.
Syu had seen the boy stare at Mitsu. He hoped it wasn't anything bad. He had in his mind declared that Ryoma was going to be his and Sei's. He stood in front of the boy and got down so they could stare into each others eyes.
"Ore-Sama wants to go and eat breakfast now. Any of you not eating, Ore-Sama will have your share." Ryoma paled at the though of someone having his share. Forgetting everything he ran after Keigo demanding that he would feed him to a yeti if he touches an ounce of his food.
Gen decided that he might as well grab the boy's racket. Placing a hand on Sei's shoulder he motioned for him to walk back inside the house with him. Thinking that both Mitsu and Syu needed some time. After all he noticed it too. Mitsu's affection for the boy along with Syu's. He knew Sei was the same, but he knew Sei tried to not get in the middle of arguments. He only likes to create them. Also if he did get involved it would probably only end more worse than it probably already is.
Mitsu and Syu just stared at each other waiting for the other to make the first move. Mitsu was the first to give and so he spoke. "Syu, why do you want Ryoma so much?" Syu being caught off, blinked a couple of times.
"Saa... He's cute. He has a personality and so completely innocent. I want to keep him safe." Syu said the last bit in all seriousness. "I loved Ryo from when I first saw him. His just him. He doesn't sugar coat it."
"What about Sei?" Mitsu couldn't help but wonder if Syu would break up with the other or not. He knew Syu still loves Sei, but he needed to know just how much he was willing to give up to get someone or how willing he was to hold on to the one he already has.
"Mitsu... Have you already forgotten the conversation we had a while back. I'm selfish. I want both. Maybe I want even more. I want to be in a relationship with more than one person." Syu looked at Mitsu. The blue eyes showing more emotions than he could convey out loud.
"Do you even think Ryoma can cope with more than one lover? He doesn't even understand how the way love works. He only knows what people have told him." Mitsu's couldn't help but wonder either. He wanted to know what it would be like to spend your life with more than one person at your side. "Syu I'll say this again. Your not the only one who wants more. Human's are selfish. We will want what we can't have. Syu if you were ever in a relationship with more than one person would it be enough?" With that Mitsu left. He knew what Syu was dealing with. He wanted the same after all, but he knew when to sperate real from fantacy. He knew that if he wanted Ryoma he would have to become completely unselfish and take his time. No matter how long it took.
In the kitchen it was quiet. Much to Mitsu surprise when he walked in. He was expecting to hear Ryoma and Keigo fighting. Instead they weren't even looking at each other. He wondered what happened this time.
Sei looked at Mitsu form the corner of his eye wondering what happened. "Where's Syu?"
"Sulking." Mitsu answered almost instantly. A plate of food was place in front of him and he began to eat. He also decided to change the subject. "Why are Ryoma and Keigo not fighting?" Sei looked at the two said people who where ignoring each other and using the food as a distraction.
"Oh, apparently we all have something to do today and since Tomo needs to leave at about 10 to go to the main house, Ryo-Chan will be here on his own." Sei answered.
"Yes Ore-Sama doesn't want to leave the brat on his own. Syusuke is going out with his family since Yuuta and him are both free. Also his father came back from working abroad. Me and Gen both have tournaments and you and Sei both need to go to the hospital. Sei decided to go there instead of letting doctor Oishi come here seeing as it puts Ryoma on edge slightly." Keigo looked and gave Ryoma a glare. "Ore-Sama just said that the brat needs someone here with him." Mitsu had to agree with the. He could even see Gen nod his head as well.
Ryoma hated it. He didn't need a babysitter. He was a big boy. He could look after himself. He was about to argue again when Mitsu cut him off. "Ryoma, you could always invite Momo and Eiji round? You can all play tennis and I'm sure there's movies you can watch all day." He really hoped the boy didn't catch on to what he was trying to do. He was also debating in his head whether to call Oishi or not. It may seem that the boy didn't need someone to watch him, but he couldn't fully trust Momo and Eiji putting weird ideas into he boy's head.
The cat liked that idea. He knew he was going to get bored at home alone anyway and with his best friend and self proclaimed brother with him things where bound to be more fun. The boy nodded and so Mitsu sent the texts along with asking Eiji to ask Oishi as well. Like he said before, he couldn't risk it.
They all heard the back door open and saw Syu walking in. Even if he was smiling all the 18 year olds could tell something was bothering him. Only thing was that Mitsu knew and none of the others did. Syu didn't say anything and sat down at the end of the table. Tomo place a plate in front of him and he just ate without a word.
They all heard a phone go off and looked at Mitsu. Him checking got a reply from Eiji telling him that both him and Oishi would go. "Ryoma, Eiji is bringing Oishi with him." The boy nodded with no complaint. It didn't take long for Momo to reply either, saying he had a date with An. Much to Mitsu's surprise. He knew Momo like the girl, but he thought it was going to take longer for him to ask her. "Momo said he had a date with An. So he can't come." You could hear the 'aw' coming from Ryoma along with something about a traitor of a best friend. Of course Syu had finally had enough. He spoke quietly, but loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Of course perfect Mitsu knows what to do. After all he's so unselfish" He scoffed. At the moment he was annoyed. Tomo leaned against the kitchen counter and watch. Gen, Kei and Sei where wondering what the tensai was talking about, while Mitsu finally also had enough.
He stood up slamming his hands on the table and glared at Fuji. "Will you just stop for one second. This isn't about you." Syu not long followed in slamming his hands on the table and was about to talk back when they say something fly across the room and smash against the wall.
"Stop it! Family's don't fight." With that Ryoma ran to the lounge. Everyone just looked at the now broken plate. Syu was about to say something, but Tomo cut him off.
"Kunimitsu, Syusuke go to your rooms." He didn't shout or give anything away. He even made his voice void of any emotions. Both Seigaku students where about to reply saying that there not kids and once again Tomo beat them to it. "You're both behaving like children and I am going to treat you like one until you both calm down and sort out your differences. This isn't good for anyone especially not Ryoma. Now go." He gave both the death stare and pointed to the door. Syu and Mitsu both gave each other a glare blame the other for upsetting Ryoma before leaving to do as they where told.
