His Assignment
AkaBun Pairing

The second year ace of Rikkaidai was looked depressed as he stared to his senpai. Akaya’s body was completely sweaty because of the harsh training led by their Yukimura-bucho. He couldn’t concentrate well while seeing his Marui- senpai. His head kept rumbling, the confusing thoughts, the strange beat of his heart, and the red flush that always appeared on his cheeks. He even can’t resist to not look at Marui-senpai. He loves his senpai-tachi.

The one big problem that making him afar from his senpai was that they’re both guys.

‘If only Marui-senpai was a girl… If only I could turn him to a girl…’ Akaya thought. ‘I will never release him in my arms…’

Akaya also knew that Marui-senpai is a tensai. So Marui-senpai will never have an interest to a boy like him. Why the hell would Marui-senpai have an interest to a boy, anyway? He felt like a gay. Well, his affection towards Marui-senpai is pure gay after all. And he knows to himself that he’s always acting like a stupid and clumsy, a complete opposite of Marui-senpai. So, there are no hopes for Akaya as Marui-senpai to see him as boyfriend.

Akaya went straight to their locker room after the training. He was trying to avoid Marui-senpai to talk to him; he’ll just feel weak if he hears Marui-senpai’s voice.

He undressed his perspired shirt and placed it to a chair, he’s half naked. His face still looked awkward. He just couldn’t remove Marui-senpai’s cheerful face while chewing his applegreen gum in his mind that easily. He messed his untidy hair. He also felt embarrassed when he faces his senpai with a seaweed hair. So it would be better if Akaya won’t face Marui-senpai.

Someone opened the door. Niou-senpai, Yagyuu-senpai, and Marui-senpai came in. Akaya hurriedly walked to his locker, hiding his face from Marui-senpai. His hands were trembling as he opened his locker. He doesn’t know what to do. He thought Marui-senpai will go home straight and won’t bother coming in the tennis club’s locker room. But here is Marui-senpai, giving aghast to Akaya.

“Niou-kun, do you remember what page is the assignment in math?” Marui-senpai asked with irritated face, always hating the subject.

“If I could remember, it’s page 56.” Niou-senpai answered.

“You’re lying.” Yagyuu-senpai said while arranging his things in his tennis bag.

“Eh? I’ve been found out?”

Marui-senpai pouted. “So, you really are lying to me.”

Niou-senpai smirked. “Sorry. I don’t remember the page of the assignment.”

“Sigh. Never mind.” Marui-senpai laid his tennis bag on the floor and he sat back on the chair where Akaya’s shirt was placed, Marui-senpai didn’t notice that he was sitting on Akaya’s shirt.

“We must get going now, I just get my notebooks here.” Said Yagyuu-senpai.

“Bye Marui-kun, bye Kirihara.” Niou-senpai went out.

“Adieu.” Yagyuu-senpai went out with Niou-senpai and closed the door.

Now, it’s only Akaya and Marui-senpai in the room. Alone. Akaya gulped nervously. He was still standing in front of his locker, his feet stuck on the ground. He couldn’t move a single limb because of this tremendous feeling. His heart throbbed and he forgot how to breathe properly. His half-naked body felt cold, but his face went red and hot.

 “Ah, Akaya…” Marui-senpai interrupted Akaya’s mumbling feelings. “…let’s go home together.”

Akaya startled, he couldn’t face his senpai. “W-Why don’t you go with Jackal-senpai instead?”

“Are you all right? Jackal is absent today. How can I go home with him?”

Akaya didn’t know what was going on in the training a while ago. Only Marui-senpai was just in his mind so he didn’t notice that Jackal-senpai was absent.

“Should I have to change clothes?” Marui-senpai muttered while taking off his wrist weights.

Even though Marui-senpai’s voice was low, it was enough for Akaya to hear it and his face went redder.

“You don’t have to!” Akaya exclaimed.

Marui-senpai gaped at him confusedly. “Huh? What’s wrong?”

“D-Don’t mind me.” Akaya was tensed to his unexpected reply to Marui-senpai.

“Anyway, aren’t you planning to move? You were there since we came here.”

Akaya slowly turned but his head lowered, avoiding Marui-senpai’s attractive face. Anyway, where did he put his shirt? He was half-naked in front of his Marui-senpai. This is the worst that ever happened to him.

“Akaya, can you move here a little?” Marui-senpai requested.

He did what his senpai told him, as if he was hypnotized by Marui-senpai’s words.

Marui-senpai seriously looked up on Akaya’s face. He caressed Akaya’s right cheek.

“I want you to be mine.” Marui-senpai whispered.

Akaya’s eyes widen by a sudden struck of words as he read his senpai’s lips. He was speechless. He wasn’t daydreaming, was he?

“S-Senpai…” Slowly, the tears unpredictably came out from both eyes. After all his insanity, Marui-senpai at last sees his affection towards him.

Akaya let himself to lay down on Marui-senpai. He was crying like a baby, can’t believe that Marui-senpai loves him, too. Marui-senpai embraced Akaya’s half-naked body, the senpai was blushing.

“Do you know how many nights I couldn’t get enough sleep just thinking of you!?” Akaya cried.

 Marui-senpai smiled. “Sorry, I was late to say how much I love you…” He put his fingers between the kohai’s fingers, clasping each other.

Akaya felt relieved and more confident as he felt Marui-senpai’s touch. He doesn’t have to worry if they’re both guys, as long as Marui-senpai loves him. He fondled Marui-senpai’s red and smooth hair slowly. Then he put his tongue in Marui-senpai’s mouth and licked affectionately the senpai’s tongue. Their spittle transferred to one another’s mouth.

 “This is boring…” Marui-senpai insisted.

“Why?”

Marui-senpai simpered. “I want to have sex with you in my blanket right now.”

Akaya blushed. He didn’t expect Marui-senpai thinks this way, but Akaya likes it, too.

“Tomorrow, bring your blanket. That will be your assignment.” Akaya smiled.

Akaya Kiriyara was holding the black handle of his blue umbrella while the rain was falling from the sky. Beside the phone booth, a red haired boy was wearing the same uniform as Akaya sitting on the ground. His body was soaked from drops of rain. He looked depressed.

Akaya walked toward Marui Bunta.

“Senpai.” he said.

Those pale violet eyes of Bunta looked upward to him. His feared look worried Akaya.

“What’s wrong?” Akaya added.

Bunta lowered his head, hiding his sad face.

Akaya kneeled on the ground. He caressed Bunta’s soaked hair.

“I lost him…” Bunta said droningly. He suddenly clasped Akaya’s body onto him.

Akaya slipped the umbrella from holding and it fell on the ground. The raindrops struck his body as Bunta struck his heart. Akaya blushed.

“Marui-senpai…”

“I lost him…”

“Who?”

 Bunta let go from embracing him. Even though it was a rainy night, Akaya knew that Bunta was crying.

“I lost my kitten…” Bunta cried.

“Your kitten?”

“He ran along this street and-”

Akaya tapped his closed umbrella on Bunta’s head.

“Why did you hit me?” Bunta whined.

“Are you silly? You let yourself soaked in here, do you want to die?”

“But I lost the cat Niou gave me!”

“So?...Nevermind.” Akaya sat beside Bunta under the umbrella. “Let’s wait for him together.”

Bunta’s cheeks went red. As he felt Akaya’s warm arm, his tummy felt tickling. He love this guy secretly.

While Akaya looked at him, he realize that Bunta was feeling cold from sitting there in a long time. He held his hand to give some warm on Bunta’s palm.

“Feel better?” Akaya asked.

Bunta nodded silently. “Arigato.”

“What if we never able to see it?”

“Why are you saying that?”

“I’ll buy another one for you.”

“No.”

“Why do you want it that much?”

“Because…” Bunta didn’t find any reasons to defend why he liked the cat Niou gave him. He just simply like it.

“If I give myself to you, will you reject me?” Akaya exclaimed. “You really like that cat so much than me?

Bunta stared at Akaya’s serious eyes, but Akaya avoided Bunta’s eyes. “Why are you jelous with a cat?”

Akaya lowered his head. The guilty feelings rumbled in his mind.

“Yes, I am.” Akaya muttered.

“Huh?”

Akaya glared at Bunta. “I’m jealous over a stupid cat! I’m jelaous whenever you think of Niou-senpai! I hate it when you’re together! Can’t you see that I’m the one who loves you so much!?”

Bunta was shocked. The only reason why he can’t say how much he love Akaya was the fact that they’re both guys. He had no guts to say it to him. He was afraid to be rejected by his Akaya. And now, Akaya took his line, Bunta felt relieved.

Akaya was confused with Bunta’s sudden smile. “Why are you smiling?”

“You’re the one who doesn’t see me.” Bunta replied.

“Huh?”

Bunta silently kissed Akaya’s right cheek. “Stupid.”

“Wh-What’s-”

As the rain stopped, the white kitten appeared and walked toward Bunta. It licked Bunta’s hand. He carried the kitten and stood up, staring on it. “Akaya-chan, Niou was just a special friend for me,” he looked at Akaya. “and I will never reject my kohai.”

Akaya was gaping as he watched Bunta walked away. He felt a strange feeling. A romantic feeling.
