Chapter 2
As Eiji sat down opposite Oshitari Yuushi, he couldn't help but wonder why the latter suddenly decided to drop by Seigaku.
"So... Kikumaru, how do you find this place?" Oshitari's voice broke Eiji's train of thoughts.
"Hoi?" he blinked, before his mind registered the question, which the other boy had just asked. Scanning the surrounding swiftly, Eiji smiled. "It's very nice here, thank you."
For a moment, neither spoke. The silence was peaceful, and the lack of uncomfortable tension proved to be a good sign. Not knowing what to do, Eiji took the opportunity to observe the Hyoutei genius as the other boy took a long drink from his mug of coffee. Throughout the observation, Eiji decided that Yuushi was attractive.
'Now... wait a minute where did that come from? And since when did I refer Oshitari by his given name?' Eiji questioned himself mentally.
Glancing up at Oshitari, he found himself having the urge to play around with the latter's long hair. So startled by this unexpected thought was Eiji that he suddenly knocked over his mug of coffee, creating a mess on the table. Snatching a pile of paper napkins from the waitress who came by, Eiji started drying the table with them. He was apologizing profusely to the waitress as he did so, while at the same time, trying to hide the blush spreading over his cheeks.
'God, this is so embarrassing. Stupid me, why am I having such thoughts for someone who's from our all time rival team.' Eiji berated himself mentally.
Risking a glance towards Oshitari, his blush deepened. However, it was clear that the other boy had noticed his blush as the latter was smirking at him. Squeezing his eyes shut, Eiji wished for the world to open up and swallow him right there and then. It was so embarrassing. Eiji lowered his eyes to the ground, not wanting to maintain eye contact with Oshitari for the moment.
That was soon forgotten when he felt a warm touch on his hands, glancing up he found Oshitari looking at him with concern.
"Hoi?" Eiji was so startled that he nearly jumped a feet high in the air, while Oshitari sighed. "Oi Kikumaru, why are you so jumpy today?"
"Eh? No, I'm not..." Eiji denied, trying to appear oblivious to the intense throbbing in his chest.
Oshitari rolled his eyes at Eiji's antics, and reached for the redhead’s hand a second time. Eiji's eyes nearly fell out when Oshitari placed a gentle kiss on both his hands. Before he could even say anything in response; Oshitari asked. "Does it hurt?"
Eiji blinked, not understanding the latter's sudden question. Ignoring his look of puzzlement, Oshitari asked for some ice from the waitress and proceed to wrap them in a handkerchief. Eiji's eyes followed every little movement Oshitari made, wondering what the other boy was trying to do. His eyes widen in realization when Oshitari placed the cool handkerchief on his hands again. Looking closer, he finally noticed a red spot, which he not noticed before. Somehow, he must have scalded himself when he had knocked over his mug of coffee.
Eiji felt his face warm as Oshitari attended to his hand. The little gesture touched him.
Sometime later as Eiji headed back towards the direction of Seigaku with Oshitari as his escort, he couldn't help but sneak glances at the other boy repeatedly. Oshitari spotted him stealing these glances and asked. "Do I have something on my face?"
"Hoi?" Eiji responded automatically, before turning away in embarrassment of being caught in the act. "No... there's nothing on your face at all." he hurried to assure.
"Oh... then why do you keep looking at me like that?" Oshitari's arched an eyebrow skeptically.
Eiji flushed and looked at the ground, mumbling softly under his breath. Oshitari smirked, and prompted. "What? I can't hear you."
Still blushing, Eiji answered louder this time. "Nothing, I just find you attractive... that's all." His eyes widen at his own statement, slapping a hand over his mouth. He denied fiercely in his mind, 'No... I didn't say that... I didn't.' However, he knew there was no point in denying since he was well aware of what he had just revealed. Darting a glance in Oshitari's direction, he was surprised to find the latter smiling a real 'smile' this time around.
'A-ra? Why is he smiling? Shouldn't he be disgusted?' Eiji frowned, not understanding why someone would be happy if someone of the same sex told them that they looked attractive.
All logical sense of thought flew from his mind as he felt Oshitari kissing him on the lips. He was confused, and had no idea what was happening. His heart was thumping wildly, somehow he responded back to the kiss. He was not even aware of it until he felt Oshitari pulling away from him. 'Wow, the guy can definitely kiss.' he thought.
"Oshitari..." Eiji started, only to have the latter silencing him with a finger.
"Yuushi... call me Yuushi." Oshitari corrected.
Eiji was about to respond when he heard footsteps heading towards them, breaking eye contact with Oshitari. Eiji turned towards the source and found it to be his doubles partner, Oishi. He was about to say something when Oshitari started.
"Aa... I wasn't aware it was that late, I better go off now. Otherwise, Atobe will send Kabaji out to get me."
"Eh?" Eiji looked towards Oshitari, only to find the latter with a smirk back on.
"I guess I will see you another time ne, Kikumaru..." Oshitari whispered softly into Eiji's ears, causing the redhead's blush to deepen.
With his aim achieved, Oshitari turned and headed back down the street towards the bus stop where he took a bus back to his school, Hyoutei Gakuen, a smirk of satisfaction on his face.
"Eiji, are you alright?" Oishi asked when he noticed his doubles partner blushing furiously.
"Yes, I'm fine..." Eiji responded absently, his mind still on the kiss he shared with Oshitari earlier.
Oishi frowned, but decided not to press on the issue for the time being. "I believe we do need to get back to practice now, or else Tezuka will make us run laps." he said, drawing his friend back to reality.
Eiji, not trusting his ability to speak, merely nodded in response. Together, the golden pair of Seigaku headed back to join the others for practice. 'Time to practice! Stop thinking about the kiss!' Eiji ordered himself mentally.
With that resolution in mind, Eiji turned to Oishi with a cheerful grin in place and said. "Oishi, I'll race you to the court! The last one there has to pay for drinks for the whole week!"
