CHAPTER 70

Keigo Atobe hid round the corner knowing the cat was to distracted by Mitsu to notice his presence. Sure he had a match. In about an hours time, but no one needed to know that. So for now he will listen in. He leaned against the men's restroom door and closed his eyes.

He heard Ryoma apologize to the other which made him smile. Taking a peak he saw Mitsu partially on his knees hugging the boy's waist. Knowing that everything was done he was about to leave properly this time when he just barely heard it. It was quiet, but he knew his ears couldn't be wrong. The boy... He told Kunimitsu that he loved him.

Deciding he could probably spare a few more minutes he listened in only to hear the boys pathetic excuse for a lie about the word colourful. Rolling his eyes he now went to go find his team. He couldn't wait until the boy could say those three words to all five of them and without being so embarrassed. But sadly that would have to wait. 'At least Mitsu is getting somewhere with the brat.' He thought as he left with a small smile on his lips.

Both teams, St. Rudolph and Seigaku standing on either sides of the courts. They listened as they all got told what the line up for each team is. Ryoma was standing next to Syusuke and Kaidoh and looking at the person that he is meant to be playing. 'Yuuta Fuji.'

They were using a new pair. Momo and Kaidoh. But before the match even begun they were already fighting. "Why pair them up, if they only fight?" Ryoma asked Syusuke who seemed to of gotten the boy to sit on his lap on a bench.

"Because they know each others weaknesses and strengths." He saw the boy nodding. Deciding to chance it he rested his head on the boy's shoulder and whispered. "So what's this I heard about you confessing your love to Mitsu?" The cat's face exploded into a deep red. "So I'm guessing it was true?" Syu grinned.

"No," He felt Ryoma try to get up, but he kept his grip on the boy to stop him. "I said colourful." On their opponents bench Mizuki stopped watching the fight between Momo and Kaidoh and looked toward the bench where he saw the red faced boy struggling to get out of the tensai's grip. He smirked and got Yuuta's attention.

"Don't you think it's weird how your brother and the twelve year old act?" He used his eyes to point the direction out to the youngest Fuji sibling. They both were shocked to see the boy look at them and shout at the top of his lungs.

"I'm sixteen for the last time. Why the hell does everyone think I'm twelve?" He folded his arms and huffed. Everyone looked at the boy slightly worried about his random outburst, but Yuuta and Mizuki were freaking out wondering how the boy even heard them in the first place. In the end they both came to the conclusion that Ryoma could lip read.

"Shh, calm down Ryo-Chan." He heard Ryoma groan in annoyance which in turn made him smile. "Neh, I could always call Mitsu over to give you a big kiss on the lips." The cat's face scrunched up and he carried on looking forward hoping Syu wouldn't see his face. Ryoma stayed quiet and watched the match. As the match carried on Momo and Kaidoh did just mainly argue the whole time. The snake was getting annoyed at the fact that the other team knew when he was going to do a snake shot, so he simple changed it to just a normal shot. As the match wore on Kaidoh had finally had enough and unleashed his boomerang snake. Which caused the smirk on Mizuki's face to falter slightly.

Ryoma's eyes were wide. "Wow! What's that? What's that?" The cat bounced up and down on Syu lap and pointed in the direction of the shot.

"Saa... well that's his new move. You slept though most of the last tournament so you missed it." He felt the boy relax and lean back to his chest. He watched as the cat grabbed one of his hands and turned it so his palm was facing up while Ryoma got one of his own fingers and did small circles in the centre of Syu hand.

"Kunimitsu said something about talking to Doctor Oishi." Ryoma let out a sigh. "But I wouldn't know what to talk about."

"It could be anything." Syu took a small breath when he felt the boy's head rest against his. "From what you like to eat to your past. He's just going to listen and you can rant as much as you like. He'll also answer any questions you have and you won't have to hold back considering he knows all your medical files."

"Hmm... I might try it." The cat shifted and Syu moved his head off the boy's shoulder and looked at the cat. "Syusuke, thank you." Ryoma moved his head sideway and pecked the others lips. "Where would we do the talking?" Syu used one of his hands to keep the boy's face facing him and leaned his forehead on the others. After all he was very pleased with the affection the boy had just showed him.

Yuuta could feel his right eye twitch as he saw the kiss between his brother and Ryoma. "Yuuta, there defiantly is something going on between them. I thought your brother was dating the Rikkaidai captain." Mizuki said and he saw the younger Fuji's reaction.

"He is." Yuuta replied as he carried on watching his brother. "Unless something happened between them which I doubt it. Seiichi practically became my other brother. Him and Syusuke are really close.

"I don't know. We need to set up how many times a week you'll see him and so on. Don't worry to much about it now. Anyway we better watch the game it looks like it's going to get interesting." And the game was. Momo after seeing Kaidoh do his boomerang snake decided to up his game and was now performing perfect dunk smashes. It wasn't until he did one that had an odd spin on it and ended up hitting his opponent in the face and knocking him out. Making Kaidoh and Momo win by default much to their annoyance.

The next match was with the golden pair and one of their opponents was the captain of St. Rudolph, Yoshirou. As the match started Ryoma had dragged Fuji away telling him to run round and warm up with him. Even though Ryoma had made up with Mitsu he still felt embarrassed about what he said. Even more so the fact that the captain heard him.

Mitsu watched from the corner of his eye as they left knowing something was still bothering Ryoma. Hell, Ryoma would never kiss just anyone on the lips, even if it was just a peck. He knew the boy was fond of Syu, but he was always shy about kissing others on the lips especially after the incident with Inui. The fact that he did it in front of others even if they were concentrating on the match and not the two on the bench.

As Syu and Ryoma walked round the tensai was about to ask the boy a question when his phone went off. Getting it fron his pocket he opened it to see the caller ID.

"Sei..." He asked down the line. A couple of seconds he heard nothing, but was caught by surprised by what he heard next.

"Wait, Gen not there." He listened as Sei moaned. "Shit, your mouth... Hot." Syu took the phone from his ear and looked at Ryoma who just stood their confused. Syu knew what had happened. Sei and him accidently did this once before. It's when you don't realized that you phone is near you and you press the buttons as your hands search for something to hold onto for support. It was probably lucky though that when it happened to them Sei noticed straight away and hung up. He could only imagine what Tezuka's reaction would of been if they hadn't. He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt someone tug at his sleeve.

"What are they doing?" Well, if they were going to phone, Syu will just let them explain when they've finished. Ryoma saw the tensai put a finger on his lips telling him to be quiet and lowed himself and the phone so the cat could listen in as well. Oh the fun he could have with this. He did a silent chuckle wondering how the boy would take this once he found out what was really going on at the other end of the line.

So they waited quietly for them to finish on the other end. Hearing some moans, groans and small amounts of teasing along with the shouts of 'faster'. They listened until they heard Sei half shout, half moan. "Gen... I'm gonna..." They could hear the panting from the other end and the blunette was coming down from his high.
