CHAPTER 100

"They fell off." Sei rubbed his temple and looked to the floor closing his eyes in thought. He wanted to get to the bottom of this but he knew that whatever happened has embarrassed the boy and the blunette really didn't want Ryoma to feel even more uncomfortable than he already was.

Sei got on the bed and sat next to the cat leaning against the headboard. "You know you can tell me anything right?"

"No, you'll probably tell the others." Sei looked into Ryoma's eyes to know that the cat was frightened. "Can you go. I don't want you here." It wasn't a question, it was the cat telling Sei. Instead the blunette shuffled down and laid on the bed, with his head resting on the pillow.

"I don't know about you Ryo-Chan, but I have all day. You can either tell me now or we can stay here till the others come home and you'll have even more of us to tell. I don't see why you can't though. It's not like I haven't seen you naked before." It was 10 minutes, Sei had taken to closing his eye and listening for the cats movements hoping that the boy might think that he is asleep.

"Sei," Ryoma whispered. Watching as the blunette opened one of his eyes. "I really want a pee." The cat gritted his teeth in annoyance when all Sei did was smirk. The captain of Rikkaidai grabbed the bed sheet that was covering the boy.

"If you want to go you have to leave this here." He said giving a small yank at the blanket. "You know you could have gone by now if you just tell me. Ryo-Chan, I know you hate me saying this, but I love you. So anything that has happened couldn't make me love you any less." Ryoma just stared at him like he had lost him mind.

"I really need to go now." Taking his chances he took the blanket off and ran out the room. Sei didn't get the chance to get a proper look at the kid before he was out and hearing the bathroom door being slammed open. The blunette pulled the cover into his arms and inhaled the scent, only to frown. Getting off the bed he inspected the blanket.

"Oh, Ryo." Sei whispered, now guessing how confused the boy was feeling. The blunette took the cover off the duvet. Before heading to the bathroom only too see Ryoma sitting in a empty bath tub. "Hey," The boy didn't even look up. Just rested his head on his knees as his tail curled up round him. Sei put the soiled sheet in the dirty laundry basket and went over, crouching next to the bath. "Want me to run you one?" Ryoma nodded and watched as the other turned the water on. Sei emptied the rest of a bottle of bubble bath, throwing it in the bin after.

"Seiichi, how did you and Syusuke end up being together? You both go to different schools and Mitsu and Syu were lovers at the time right?" The blunette smiled as he turned the taps off and sat next to the tub dipping his hand into the water in thought.

"Me and Syu met in a park." Ryoma gave him a look of disbelief. "Before you say anything I always went there to think when I wanted to get away from everyone. I use to see him walk by with either his sister or brother a lot. I had no idea at the time he was gay or seeing someone. So he just came and sat next to me one day from there it ended being most day's after school for a couple of hours." Ryoma started to wash the dry cum off as he carried on listening.

"It was once when he had just broken it with Mitsu, not that I knew of course. But he sat there in a really bad mood. I did ask, but I got ignored so I left it at that. I didn't really get it back then but something had happened and so we spent even more time together. Going out to eat, watching some tennis tournaments and so on. We were saying good bye and I accidently kissed him. It was something I did on auto that I didn't even process until I had done the deed." He heard Ryoma scoff trying to hid how weird he found it.

"How can you accidently kiss someone?" Sei wasted no time in commenting back.

"Yeah, well how can you say I love you to someone and not mean it?" Ryoma blushed and looked down into the water. "Anyway as I was saying, I ended up avoiding him for the next two weeks. It wasn't until after school when I was doing tennis practice did Syu come storming into the grounds looking pissed off. Do you know how terrifying it is to see an angry Syu." Sei leaned over so both the cat's and his noses were nearly touching. "In front of everyone there, he leaned in like this and..." The blunette pecked Ryoma on the lips. "Kissed me." The boy stayed still not caring that Sei had done that, but was more amazed by the story. "After that he whispered that I have to meet him at the place we first met. It's quiet funny now that I think back on it."

"Why? How is that funny? You made Syusuke sad when you ignored him." Sei got up and grabbed a towel off the radiator.

"It's funny because when I turned to looked at the others, the regulars they were all giving money to Gen and Renji. Apparently they all had a bet on my sexuality and those two were the only ones to guess that I wasn't into women." Sei held out the towel as the cat stood and let the other wrap it round him. "Besides I don't know how you can say I made someone sad by ignoring them when you have done that to Mitsu more than enough times. Even me once or twice if I'm not mistaken."

Ryoma stepped out the bath and made his way to the door with the towel tightly wrapped round his shoulders. "Ryo-Chan once you're done getting changed, we'll sit downstairs and do your homework." The boy nodded, but stopped when he suddenly remembered something he was curious about.

"Seiichi, recently my tummy's been feeling funny. I hurts the most when I'm around Mitsu. But it was this morning that scared me." Sei watched as Ryoma tail lifted up the towel and was swinging left to right. It was showing just how much anxiety this was really causing the 16 year old.

"Ryo was the cum there when you woke up or did you do it before you fell asleep?" The blunette was actually quiet happy. He wondered if the cat was finally excepting that there may be something between all of them.

"Cum?" Sei paused in thought when he remembered that all Ryoma knew was that it was white stuff that comes out when someone gets excited.

"Yeah, the white stuff." The cat nodded. "So were you asleep or awake?" Ryoma's face went slightly pink.

"Um, I was awake. I was under Mitsu's bed and my tummy got that funny thing. When I looked down it was just there." Sei pulled the plug and went over to the boy bring him into a hug.

"Alright. Ryo-Chan there's a thing I want you to try. When Mitsu gets home I want you to give him a kiss." The boy looked up to Sei trying to find what was so bad about showing affection. He had done it to Syu and the blunette more than once. Sei letting it dawn on him what they had told the boy before expanded on what he was saying. "I want you to give him an intimate one. Like the one you gave me that time." Sei felt Ryoma's spine straighten at the thought. "If you do this I won't tell him what you did."

"So this is blackmail?" When Ryoma saw that smile on Sei's face appear he knew that the other was completely serious. "Now go get changed. I need to go sort something's out." With that the cat left.

Syu was sitting in class feeling board. The teacher was going over something they had learnt in their second year and he was forcing himself to stay awake. When he felt his head getting heavier on his hand he was just about to drift off when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Grabbing the device he made sure it was well hidden under the table and read the message.

'It seems our little Ryo has been holding back information on us about certain feelings he has.'
