CHAPTER 64

Gen's morning was the same as most, except the constant looks from Kirihara. The whole hickey thing had gone round the school and people would glance to see if it was true and then get on with their everyday business. He was in the middle of maths when his phone went off. Holding back a curse the looked to see the teacher looking at him questionably. As he was about to apologize she stopped him and told him to take the call outside. He thought that was strange. Most students get detention from things like that.

Standing up he grabbed his phone from his bag and looked at the caller ID. Seeing it was Sei he put the phone to his ear as he went out. "Sei, I'm in the middle of class." Gen didn't really care, but he had to remind the other that he still had classes and he should of known that. "Aren't you meant to be in the Seigaku library teaching Ryoma?" He asked when he remembered what the other was meant to be doing.

"Sorry, I am in the library, just not with Ryo-Chan. He fainted and is now asleep in the headmasters office." Gen leaving it at that after he had heard from Mitsu about the boy fainting the other day as well.

"What are you doing then?" Gen looked into the window of his classroom and could see the teacher going over a problem that he already knew the answer to.

"I found a gardening book. I might ask Syu to take it out of here so I can read it at home." The vice-captain rolled his eyes knowing that Sei loved gardening. Not as much as tennis, but it did come close. "I was going to ask Tomo if I could sort the bottom half of the garden out because there is only grass and that's so boring." Gen could imagine the pout on the others lips as he said that. He was about to say something when he heard a bang though the phone.

"Sei, what was that?" He heard silence for a few second.

"I better go something's wrong with Ryo-Chan." No goodbye or anything. He just hung up. Taking the mobile from his ear he stared at the device in his hand. He was now annoyed. Sei has made him worry about the boy even more than he already was. Placing his phone back into his pocket he walked back into class and said his sorry to the teacher for disrupting the lesson. He was now paying less attention then he was before. All that was on his mind was of a certain tiger.

Now Sei and Ryoma were walking down the hallways to get to one of the exits of the school. They had to only hope that they didn't get stopped by teachers or worst one of Ryoma's weird fan club girls. As they approach another classroom Ryoma wasted no time in running to the window of the door and looking in. He had been doing this for every room they passed and everyone in that room had all stopped to watch what the boy would do. He was probably lucky that he had managed to drag the boy away from each one. This one though it seemed that whatever Ryoma was looking for he had found it. Without even as much as a knock the cat walked in.

"Yes, how may I help you?" The third year teacher asked. Sei had ran to the door and tried to grab Ryoma but missed. The cat on the other hand walked over to a surprised tensai.

"Ponta." He held out his hand and waited. Mitsu started to rub his temple and Syu took a glance behind the boy to see the teacher just gaping at him. Fuji smiled seeing Sei in the door shrugging his shoulders. Syu just sat there not doing anything. After a few seconds Ryoma got the hint. "Oh, please." As he was about to hand the money over they heard a squeal from one of the girls in the class.

"Kya! Ryoma-Sama I'll pay for your ponta if you go on a date with me?" The boy liking the idea of ponta, but not knowing the cost was of this so called date, was about to answer with a yes until he felt Syu put a hand on his shoulder. Looking into the now open eyes he knew it was best to keep quiet.

"Come on Ryo-Chan lets go." The sadist collected his things and lead Ryoma to the door. Finally as they were about to leave did the teacher speak up.

"Wait! I didn't say you could go Fuji." Syu turned and gave the teacher his most dazzling smile. She shivered, as she remembered the blackmail he had on her. "You may leave. Please, take your time." She even waved them off as they went. Mitsu let off a silent groan. He knew that he was going to be the one to take the tensai's notes for him.

The trio were outside now and Ryoma as soon as he saw ran up to the vending machine with his two hundred yen coin in hand. Skipping back with his can of ponta he opened the it and took a sip. Humming a little tune while he did so.

"Hey, I was wondering. Why do people kiss all the time?" Sei and Syu both chuckled.

"Saa... there are a number of reasons. A thank you kiss is obvious. Then there is one to show your affection to others. Also the I'm sorry one." Fuji carried on listing different ones off on his fingers. Once he was done he looked at Ryoma. "So do you understand?" The boy looked content with the information given and nodded. He now knew what type of kiss he gave Sam. It was a goodbye one. One where you know you would never see that person again. Something at that moment crossed his mind which made him blush slightly.

Both Syu and Sei saw the blush ride up on the boy's face. "Ryo-Chan is there something you want to ask?"

"Yeah," He hid his face by looking at the ground kicking the floor and swaying his arms slightly. "I want to try that affection kiss thing." Sei crouched down so he was Ryoma's level. The blunette had to cover his own face when he saw the boy's. He looked at Syu and could see he was struggling like he was. They where both trying not to bring the boy into their arms and ravish him. "Did I say something wrong?" He panicked when he saw their faces thinking that he wasn't allowed to show people he thought important, that he cared for them in someway.

"Okay, so you can go for the forehead." Sei spoke now slightly serious and instantly Ryoma paid attention. He then leaned forward and pecked the boy on his head. "There is also the cheek and nose." He placed a kiss on both those area's as well. "And last is a peck on the lips." Giving the boy a quick peck on them. Which in turn made the cat turn bashful. You could also see his lips turn up slightly at the gesture. Ryoma stopped suddenly at a thought. "Really you can kiss them anywhere though, but I would say those are the main points."

"So when Syu kissed me the other day after I gave him a hickey was because he was showing affection?" The cat asked as he tilted his head to the left.

"Yeah Ryo-Chan." Syu smiled happy that the boy finally slightly understood the meaning from the kiss he gave the cat. "But remember to only use this type of affection to certain people. Like, for example the one's you live with." He hope Ryoma got the point on who he was meant to use it on. Ryoma smiled and leaned forward pecking Sei on the forehead before turning his back to go find a bin to put his now empty ponta can in.

"Damn, I think we should just keep Ryo-Chan in the house from now on. If he shows anyone else that face... I don't think I could handle it. My heart would break. I won't let anyone take him away." Syu just watched the determination in Sei's eyes as he spoke.

"Saa... Aren't you being a bit over protective?" The blunette falter slightly and looked at Syu with a face not believing what he just heard. After all Syu was probably the worst when it came to being protective. It was only when the tensai carried on did it make sense. "I mean, I would get rid of anyone's existence if they even thought they had a chance with our Ryo-Chan. The five of us belong to him and each other." Syu smiled at the end and Sei could only join in. Seeing the boy coming back to them Syu was about to ask Ryoma what he wanted to do, but the boy cut him off.

"Lean down." Syu doing as he was told bent and was about to ask why when he felt soft lips kissing him on the end of his nose.
