CHAPTER 77
"What do you think you're doing with my ponta?" Mitsu smirked as he brought the can to his lips pretending to take a sip and kept an eye on the boy who was looking at him with horror written all over his face.
Yuuta was looking at the boy. "How did you hear that?" The cat turned his head to the St. Rudolph student giving him a shrug of the shoulder before turning his attention to the one holding his beloved drink. Ryoma took a deep breath thinking it was now or never.
"Mitsu, can I have it?" Both the captain and tensai stopped and looked at the boy. 'Did he just call me Mitsu?' He could feel his left eye twitch. He couldn't say no to the boy now. He had lost this battle before it have even begun.
"Here." He held the can out for the boy who happily took it and drank it in one go. Sei peaked into the kitchen and looked to see Yuuta.
"Hey Yuu." He was thankful that he decided to put a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on before coming downstairs. Sei sat himself down next to the guest. "How are you?"
"Good... Oh that reminds me." He looked to his brother. "When did you and Tezuka date?" Syu looked at the other.
"It was when I was a freshmen, but how did you find out we dated?" Everyone in the room watch as Yuuta's cheeks turned a rosy colour. Both Mitsu and Syu suddenly had the same though. 'Unless Ryoma said something.' The both looked to the cat who was waiting for the answer as well. "Yuuta was it perhaps something Ryo-Chan told you?" They got a nod from the second year. Ryoma had just caught on.
"Oh, I know. Was it when I told you that Mitsu had sucked off Syusuke." He announced loudly. No one spoke. It was when they heard laughing coming from another room.
Gen was just watching a tennis match on TV when he heard the cat speaking about Syu and Mitsu. He didn't mean to laugh, it was just that he thought him and Sei had it rough today with the whole phone and Tomo incident. Who knew that Syu now had it worse with his younger brother finding out what Syu did with his lovers. It was one thing knowing what people do, but entirely different when you know it's your own brother.
Gen reached for the remote and turned the TV off before heading into the other room to see what was really happening. Looking into the door he just saw everyone staring at him. He looked towards the butler who was turning the heat down on the stove. The vice-captain could only hope that what ever he was going to say didn't have anything to do with him.
"Ryoma, come here." The cat walked over and stood in front of Tomo. The butler lifted the cat's head up by putting his hand on the boy's chin. His eyes looked to the others before going back to Ryoma's. "Who did you kiss?" He felt the cat go slightly limp. "Ryoma... Was it Seiichi?" He felt the boy was about to pull away. Taking his hand away he watched as Ryoma looked over his shoulder at the blunette. "We'll talk about this later." The cat looked to the floor before running upstairs.
"Why did you kiss him?" Yuuta asked Sei as he watched the boy disappear.
"Yuu, have you ever heard of the forbidden fruit?" And with that Sei went into his whole explanation again on what this was all about. Yuuta had taken it very well, not at all surprised that his brother was going to be a part of it. After all he was use to his brothers ways after spending nearly all his life with him. Meanwhile Mitsu had snuck out and went upstairs also to find the boy.
Already guessing that Ryoma was hiding under Gen's bed he walked into his room, laying down on the carpet and looking at the golden eyed boy. "Going to come out?" He watched as the cat shook his head. "Want to talk?" Ryoma moved towards Mitsu until their faces were about five inches apart from each other, but made sure he was still under the bed. "What's bothering you?"
"You are." The cat answered honestly. Mitsu tried not to smirk. Ryoma made it sound like he had gotten in trouble.
"Why? What did I do?" The captain liked this. It was nice just laying there with Ryoma.
"You made me confess and wouldn't believe me when I changed it." Mitsu chuckled and looked lovingly at the boy.
"So, you didn't mean it?" All the third year could think was that this was interesting and something so Ryoma that it wasn't too surprising. At first Ryoma would always try and convince everyone that he did or said something else, but in the end he would spill his guts about everything, even if everyone already knew the truth of the situation. Mitsu reached forward and unclipped the boy's hood. Pushing it off his head and rubbing one of Ryoma's ears with his fingers making sure not to put too much pressure on them.
"I don't know." The cat whispered. "I don't want to either." Mitsu's hand stopped moving.
"How come?" Mitsu shuffled forward so their foreheads touched. He closed his eyes feeling the cat frown and his breathing getting softer. "What's so wrong with loving another?"
"Because everyone I love always disappears. Even master did. After he promised that he would always be by my side." He said softly and rubbed his head against Mitsu. "I never want you to leave. You're too important to me." Mitsu took a deep breath taking in the boy's scent and ingraining this moment into his head. Opening his eyes he looked into golden ones.
"Please, just remember that none of us would ever leave you. You're important to us as well and that could never change." He watched as the boy's eyes slowly closed and he slowly started to slide down until his head rested on the floor. Mitsu rested his head on one of his arms while the other ran though the boy's hair. He kissed the boy on the head and relaxed just watching the boy's slow and steady breaths as he slept.
Downstairs Keigo had just come though the door and walked into the kitchen. "Ore-Sama has the best news ever." He declared. As he was about to speak again he pause and looked to Yuuta. "What may I ask are you doing in Ore-Sama grand temple, little brother of Syu?" Yuuta looked at the other not at all impressed. "What? At least you're not as little as the brat. Speaking of which where is he?"
"Ah, Ryo-Chan ran upstairs with Mitsu following close behind. I think Mitsu is still wondering about our little kittens confession." Sei said as he looked at the monkey king. Gen looked round at hearing for the first time about Ryoma confessing.
"Wait you know about the confession?" Keigo felt like a knife had been ripped though him. He wanted to be the one to tell them.
"Saa... How did you know?" Syu looked to the Hyotei captain.
"Well, Ore-Sama has ears everywhere so how would I not." He huffed and folded his arms.
"Keigo, in other words you just hid round the corner and listened into their conversation, am I right?" Tomo spoke as he got the plates out from the cupboard.
"What! Have you been spying on me?" He lost his composure and looked at the butler with disbelief.
"No, you're just the easy to read." He heard snickering and looked to see Sei and Syu covering their mouths. "Can you go get Ryoma and Kunimitsu from upstairs? Dinners going to be ready in about 10 minutes." Hearing a grumble from the king about how unfair it was, they listened to him walking upstairs. "So Sei, considering this is new to me about Ryoma's confession, how did you find out?"
Sei smiled. Knowing that all the others heard from either Mitsu or Keigo. "Ryo-Chan told me after he kissed me." Syu eyes shot open and stared at Sei.
"So he really did kiss you? Was there tongue?" Everyone in the room heard Yuuta groan and put his head in his arms.
"Please, while I'm here I don't want to know how any of you have done anything. Please just keep that to yourself until I'm gone." Syu and Sei exchanged looks before going to the younger Fuji. Yuuta looked up slightly and saw them. "I know you're both sadists, but just this once act normal." As Sei was about to reply Keigo's appeared at the door.
"I need the camera!" He half yelled. Tomo turned and opened one of the draws and pulled out a small dark blue digital one. He held it out for the other to take. "Thank you." He grabbed it and ran back upstairs. Everyone except the butler exchanged looks before standing and rushing upstairs.
