Chapter 7 – sense
Their second year came around and Takahisa was appointed fuku-buchou. Wakato teased him about it, but at the same time, showed that he was so extremely proud of his friend. The two boys from the street courts that Takahisa, and sometimes Wakato, frequented, Youhei and Kouhei, were among the new students.
At the first day of practice for the year things got noisy when people got mercilessly teased and annoyed by the tiny first year Oota. The only one he had spared this far was the biggest second year, Kiriyama. Takahisa and Wakato figured it wasn't because of fright of the intimidating looking boy, since he seemed to get kicks from trying to get a reaction out of annoying Shinjou. It didn't work, though, but it didn't stop him from trying.
Everyone was surprised when the tiny boy finally approached Kiriyama, not to annoy him, but talking to him as as if they were best friends. Kiriyama told them later that he'd never met the boy before.
Wakato snorted. "Looks damn funny with such a small guy and such a huge guy next to each other!" He was, perhaps, the only one who was amused by Oota's attempts to annoy people, thought it was fun, even.
It was even more surprising when Oota himself declared himself as Kiriyama's doubles partner. Kiriyama was a singles player, but Oota didn't care about his protests, or anyone else's for that matter. He was going to play doubles together with Daichi, he said. Although Hanamura was sceptical, she allowed them to try and seemed pleased with the result as she let them play together more times, even against Youhei and Kouhei, who had showed their skills at doubles right at the beginning. These three had even been allowed to do other things than the first years normally would.
Even though Oota showed skill at the court, he never ceased his quest to annoy the heck out of everyone while off them. No one dared to get too angry at him though. Not since an angry third year punched him and was sent to the hospital by Kiriyama.
"You're that bendy guy from the street courts, right?"
Takahisa turned around in the corridor, Wakato doing the same next to him. They were faced by the Tanaka-twins.
"Yes?" he answered.
"And you're the fuku-buchou." Kouhei said, both boys looking expectant.
"Yes."
What was with the questioning?
"Play a match with us." Youhei and Kouhei chorused.
Takahisa tilted his head just slightly, Wakato staring at him. 'cute.' he though. ¨Way too cute.'
"A match? I don't play doubles, though."
"Just ask someone."
Kouhei grinned as he spotted Wakato staring at their fuku-buchou. "You'd like to play with him, right?"
"Yeah.." Wakato murmured, still as if in a trance, not really paying attention to what was said. "Wait- what?"
They did pretty well against th twins, considering neither of them had any experience in doubles. Even though Wakato and Takahisa was almost as close as one could get (with the exception that Wakato knew nothing about Takahisa's problems at home), it was nothing compared to the twins. Wakato even asked if they had ESP or something.
They lost pretty badly, One game to six, but both were satisfied.
"Well, you're not entirely crappy at it." Kouhei confessed. That was pretty nicely said, coming from any of the Tanakas.
"Hey, fuku-buchou!" Youhei called, his brother close behind him. "Can you come over here for a bit?"
Takahisa nodded, leaving the side of helping out the first years. Wakato glared at their twins who looked at him with a mischievous glint in their eyes. 'Stupid Kajimoto, not noticing that they're so obviously planning something.'
Takahisa came to a stop in front of the twins, two were wearing innocent looks on their faces.
"What was it you wanted?" he asked, eyebrows furrowing a little when Youhei and Kouhei exchanged glances.
"No, nothing special." Kouhei said, fiddling with his brother's hair. Then they both gripped one of his shoulders, leaning up at the tip of their toes.
"Just this." Youhei continued, murmuring the two words in his ear. Youhei pressed his lips to Takahisa's left cheek, at the same time as Kouhei did the same to his right.
Takahisa froze, a blush exploding on his cheeks as he realized what they had been doing.
"W-w-w-wha-wha-w-what-w-why did y-you do th-that?"
The twins giggled, never having seen him flustered before. Normally only Wakato could make him feel embarrassed. They looked over Takahisa's shoulders as they saw Wakato approaching.
The redhead pulled Takahisa close, the blonde's face pressed close to his chest. It was pretty uncomfortable, since the younger boy had to hunch a little. He had grown taller than Wakato, much to the redhead's dismay.
Now said redhead was glaring at the small-grown twins, who were grinning right back up at him.
"What do you think you're doing when I haven't done that?" Wakato hugged his best friend tighter. "I saw him first!"
The last words made Youhei and Kouhei double over from laughter.
"You know, only a five-year-old kid uses that phrase!"
"Seriously, are you really in second year?"
Takahisa didn't really follow anymore. He just noticed how good Wakato smelled, though he knew he probably wouldn't once they were half-way through tennis-practice. He noticed how warm Wakato's embrace was and that he didn't want his friend to let go, no matter how uncomfortable it was.
He let out a tiny sigh of disappointment when Wakato let go, instead taking his hand to pull him with him out of the big gym with the numerous tennis-courts.
"Hey, Wakato, where are you.." His words trailed off when he found his back leaning against the wall next to the door to the courts. Warm and soft lips pressed against his own. It was as if the kiss surged through his whole being, it was amazing how good it could feel with a mere pressing of lips against lips. It wasn't anything romantic. Both pairs of eyes were open, and they didn't move. It was just a simple and even pressure, that made them both blushing messes none the less.
"Umm.. " Wakato pulled back, blushing so hard that it reached all the way down to his neck.
Takahisa's eyes flicked between the ground and Wakato's gray eyes, wanting to try and rub the blush off his cheeks. "So..."
"Doyouwanttodateme? !" The redhead blurted out, head bowed.
Well, that didn't exactly help both boy's blushes to lighten.
"Um. Uh. Um..." Another thing he would have to keep quiet about at home? He saw Wakato's hands tremble where they hang by his sides. "..Okay.."
A happy smile spread on the shorter's face and he took his friend's hands. "You're awesome, Kajimoto!" And then Takahisa found himself in another hug.
"So.. what does dating involve?" Takahisa asked Wakato when they sat in the park near the street courts after practice.
"You go places.. treat each other to things or food and stuff.."
"Don't we do all that all the time already, though?" Takahisa blinked, tilting his head to the side as he watched the redhead.
"Well, you get bonuses like.. this." Wakato bent forward, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. Their first kiss had been full of nervousness, but this time Wakato knew for sure that it was okay to do this. He pressed a little harder, felt Takahisa slowly starting to respond when he moved his lips. After a moment he pulled away. "C'mon, you can breathe, you know."
Takahisa leaned his back against the bench, covering his hot cheeks with the palms of his hands. "I-I forgot."
Laughing, Wakato wrapped his arms around his boyfriend. It was weird to think of each other that way, but it made them feel all happy and fuzzy on the inside.
"Takahisa."
The blonde blinked, looking at the redhead clinging to him. A new blush exploded on his cheeks.
"I can call you that, righ, Takahisa?" Wakato asked, looking at him with innocent eyes.
"Yes.. Then.. H-Hiroshi..?"
At that, Wakato drew him as close as he could and kissed him senseless.
