I've Returned... ((Ryouta Basket & Sosuke0549))

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi sighed as he headed to the gym. He had a free period, and he knew that during that period Tsuki liked to play basketball. He slowly slipped his way into the gym and quickly sat rather high up on the bleachers. He kept his hoodie on, pulling his hood over his head, hoping the other didnt see him. And he careful watched how Tsuki put so much passion into basketball. He was so graceful and fast....so hot and sexy and fit! He was so handsome and Aoi felt his heart skip a beat like the first day He saw him... God he was simply breath taking. He was worried about Tsuki seeing him again tho... would he think he was stalking him? Would he confront him and get mad that he was here? No... He wasn't the type to do that...right?

 

He sighed, looking down at himself.

What was wrong with him? Was he not attractive enough for Tsuki? Or Maybe Tsuki just wasn't gay. He was probably as straight as a pencil. But still... it wouldnt hurt to try and be friends...right?

[Ryouta]

Tsuki was enjoying the game although the other team was no problem for him to defeat. He didn`t like passing others so much but he wasn`t that selfish. If it was necessary, he would pass and took passes from the teammates. It was so fun playing with them. It was really the truth...in that time..Tsuki couldn`t bear any people if he or she wasn`t related to basketball. He didn`t even tried it once to be close or friends with them but he thought it like that since he believed that only his teammates and the people who knew that how much playing basketball is fun could except the Tsuki he wanted to be not the Tsuki that his father decided to his. For him and his basket not for his money and the company of his father. He wanted to be known as Takumi Tsuki the famous and strong pro basketball player and that was his only dream in that time. He thought that he ended up marry a girl that is a pro in basketball. He could kinda see his future though it wasn`t like that at all.

 

The game was over. As you know, Tsuki`s team of scored higher than the other one so they won. Tsuki was excited but all sweaty again. He didn`t understand that he was being watched at all. He felt like..that day was an important day to him. He put away his sweat as he walked to the towel. The other`s left.

"Takuma, Remember to lock the door when you left!"

Said his senpi! He already knew that he was going to stay!

"Hai!"

He said. After a few seconds. He took the ball again, wanted to play!

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi bit his lip as Tsuki's friends and teammates left. Leaving him alone with the other, how hadn't even noticed him. If he couldn't date Tsuki then...at lest...he wanted to befriend him.

Aoi slowly built up His courage as he stood and walked down the bleachers. His hands in his hoodie pockets, biting his lip as he looked down at down at the ground.

" um... Takumi"

He slowly looked up at the other.

"S-sorry to bother you. If you...If you don't remember me I'm Fujitaka. I uh... I had a free period so I.. "

He shrugged. It felt very AWKWARD to talk to him now. But Aoi was really trying.

"Do you...maybe..want to play one-on-one? You'll beat me..but...it's better then playing alone...r-right?"

God he hoped the other wouldn't shut him down! He was so nervous! He was actually alone and talking with one of the most hottest guys in school!

[Ryouta]

" um... Takumi"

He had already started dribbling that he heard somebody calling him. Somehow, he knew whose voice it was. All of his excitement disappeared as he turned around. He wasn`t wrong after all. It was the boy that he rejected a few days ago. He couldn`t help it so he stopped and grabbed the ball, starring at the other, hearing him!

"S-sorry to bother you. If you...If you don't remember me I'm Fujitaka. I uh... I had a free period so I.. "

Ha? What the hell? Why was he telling Tsuki things like that! It was none of his business. Tsuki was already tired of hearing him. He wanted to yell at him so that he would run outside, crying but the other spoke again.

"Do you...maybe..want to play one-on-one? You'll beat me..but...it's better then playing alone...r-right?"

Tsuki decided not to do it when he heard that. What the hell was his problem??Maybe it was just Tsuki`s imagination but it was like that the other was feeling nervous just with talking with Tsuki. Tsuki closed his eyes as he threw him the the ball. He made a really cool position, looked at the other again, with no expression, he said in a calm voice.

"Have you even played basketball before?"

He wasn`t intending on making a defence position since he already knew what was going to happen.

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi could tell the other wanted to yell at him. Tsuki looked so irritated with him. Aoi was surprised when the basketball player tossed him the ball. He caught it quickly.

"Have you even played basketball before?"[/Quote]

"Um..not really. "

He slowly dribbled the ball a few times getting the feel for it...slowing coming out of his shell.

"I was never really interested in the sport. I've always stuck to volley ball and soccer. I didn't know anything about basketball till recently. I didn't know the rules..or how to play...let alone the objective of it all. But... when I saw you play for the first time I as amazed by the passion in your eyes... Its the same look I get when I'm playing piano or singing. I just had to learn about it since it was so important to you."

He looked up at the other- scratching the back of his head.

"Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. And... I'm sorry about the other day...it must of been weird having a guy ask you out...it was....it was a prank so... I apologize.. I just..kind of want to be your friend...if I'm not being too straight forward. "

He gave a small smile at the other and raised the ball above his head, shooting. The ball hit the square-landing into the basket like child's play.

"Aim for the square right? This will be my first time so...please go easy on me.."

[Ryouta]

"Um..not really. "

Tsuki already knew. The other was so short and thin that anybody could understand that although the other was so beautiful with that kind of body shape. He had to do something about it since he thought that this person just wanted to get close to him.

"I was never really interested in the sport. I've always stuck to volley ball and soccer. I didn't know anything about basketball till recently. I didn't know the rules..or how to play...let alone the objective of it all. But... when I saw you play for the first time I as amazed by the passion in your eyes... Its the same look I get when I'm playing piano or singing. I just had to learn about it since it was so important to you."

Since it was so important to Tsuki!?! He couldn`t just get it. Did it meant that he started playing basketball and knowing its rule when he saw Tsuki play? Just for him? It wasn`t like that he would believe that so easily. He was saying inside that he hadn`t but actually it made him a bit happy since it was the first time that somebody had done something for him. It was the first time that he wanted that he was talking to a person that couldn`t play basketball! It was...strange for Tsuki.

"Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. And... I'm sorry about the other day...it must of been weird having a guy ask you out...it was....it was a prank so... I apologize.. I just..kind of want to be your friend...if I'm not being too straight forward. "

Tsuki looked away. He did nothing to apologize. Tsuki had to apologize though he didn`t intend on doing that.

"Not really...I didn`t really think about you being a guy..."

It was something else. It was trust. He couldn`t trust him so easily. Not that fast and not anyone could earn his trust. He or she had to be special or have something special. Tsuki was pissed off about how the other shot. He bi his lips tried to not yell since the other had just started.

"Aim for the square right? This will be my first time so...please go easy on me.."

Tsuki took the ball as he threw it to the other again, said in an irritated face, tried hard to not say it out loud.

"Oi! Do you even know the meaning of "one on one"? You should pass by me and then shoot, not whenever you have the ball and by the way, Do you think that you can make the shot from that distance?? And if you are new then we should start from the basics!"

He walked to the other as he sighed, starring at him.

"I was going to play with you and now I should be your instructor!! Anyway, started dribbling!"

He asked waited for his actions.

[Sosuke0549]

"Oi! Do you even know the meaning of "one on one"? You should pass by me and then shoot, not whenever you have the ball and by the way, Do you think that you can make the shot from that distance?? And if you are new then we should start from the basics!"[/Quote]

The other looked irritated. Aoi tensed slightly as the other walked over to him sighing, staring at him.

"my..bad?"

"I was going to play with you and now I should be your instructor!! Anyway, started dribbling!"[/Quote]

"Oh... well.. I only read about it.. this may very well be the first time I've held a basketball. So dribbling is completely new. Its rather big...nothing like a soccer or volley ball."

He smiled a little and started dribbling. Finding it rather ease. He was catching on quickly.

[Ryouta]

"my..bad?"

This boy looked so innocent. What was with that reply?? Tsuki was just pissed off and also speechless! He couldn`t say another word. Maybe he said too much. Well, he wasn`t a kind and nice person so he would of course make no good instructor. Specially when it came to basketball, you wanted to complain about every thing!

"Oh... well.. I only read about it.. this may very well be the first time I've held a basketball. So dribbling is completely new. Its rather big...nothing like a soccer or volley ball."

Tsuki looked carefully when he started dribbling. He was doing it slowly since his arms were weak but it was correct for a basic person. Tsuki closed his eyes as he said in a calm voice.

"Not bad!!"

He wondered if the other knew about him being rich or not! At first he thought that he was like other but now suspected about it.

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi smiled brightly so happy that the other praised him!

"Thanks"

He held the ball in his hands looking up at Tsuki.

"Next I want to know how you move the ball in between your legs. It looks easy but...I know it's gonna be hard Perhaps- "

Aoi stopped talking once the bell rang.

"Oh.. I got to go. I'm sorry. Maybe we could do this again sometime...if you want.. And..I know you'll probably be playing basketball after school but.. I'll be in the music room playing the piano so.. if maybe... you want to drop in...I wouldn't mind.."

He blushed very...very faintly. He quickly handed the other the ball and ran to the bleachers grabbing his bag.

"Thank you Takumi. I'll see you around.. "

And he ran out of the gym waving good bye...he was a fast runner. And so Damon sweet he gave you cavities.

I can't believe I just talked to Takumi! He praised me! He praised me! I'm.so happy!

[Ryouta]

"Next I want to know how you move the ball in between your legs. It looks easy but...I know it's gonna be hard Perhaps- "

Tsuki looked at the other directly, not really feeling shy to have an eye contact from the short distance. Why was he so excited anyway?? Tsuki couldn`t get him. Suddenly the bell rang and the other started talking again. H was sure talkative.

"Oh.. I got to go. I'm sorry. Maybe we could do this again sometime...if you want.. And..I know you'll probably be playing basketball after school but.. I'll be in the music room playing the piano so.. if maybe... you want to drop in...I wouldn't mind.."

So the short boy was in the music club. It kinda suit him. He starred at the other`s hands when he was picking his bag. He was imagining that those hands that were too weak for playing basketball, were too strong so that he could play an hard instrument like piano. He didn`t know himself but he was interested to know how the other would play but he couldn`t satisfy himself for going to the music room yet.

He saw the other waving at him as a sign of goodbye. Tsuki was looking at him. He found the boy kinda strange and also funny! He laughed a bit after he made sure that he is gone! He starred at the basketball on his hands as he blushed brightly. He raised it up and brushed his lips against the orange ball. It was precious to him! He couldn`t imagine that he would ever love anything or anybody more than it.

He started playing again. Before he could notice, it was already the time when the gates would be closed. He sighed as he packed his things. He took a shower and changed! He fast closed the gym door and ran out to his house. Where he never wanted to go!!

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi sighed as he headed home. He wasn't sure what to expect but...somehow he wasn't surprised that Takumi didn't come to the music room. The boy loved basket, he lived off of it... He wasn't like Aoi...

He ran a hand threw his hair. Thinking about his day.. perhaps it wasn't all bad...he got to talk to Takumi. He hoped the other would give him the time of day...maybe even show him How to play.

--------------------------------------------

{ Next Day }

 

Aoi smiled as he bell rang for lunch. He hadn't seen Takumi. He stopped by the gym but didn't see him. He sighed. He thought maybe the other would want to eat lunch with him...how stupid was He....

He headed to the cafeteria, and easily found a set with "the cool kids" He was rather popular. And was rather easy to talk to...

[Ryouta]

Tsuki was on the duty to clean the classroom. He was really pissed off so he sighed after the teacher left, glaring at her back, cursing her about why did she choose him?? Now he couldn`t play basketball. He stood from his seat after the others left the class and sighed again. He started cleaning but he hate working so he was close to blow out with anger, bitting his lips and tried to control and concentrate not to cause anything stupid.

He took his back and left the room after it was over and went to the bathroom fast. He wanted to play basketball but he was the way too tried to do it. He washed his face and hands with cold water and looked at the mirror. He was as handsome as always. The same expression as usual, cool and hot! He took his look fast and walked to the cafeteria of the school to eat something first.

He ordered a coffee and a piece of cake, he held the dish to one of the tables as he saw the boy that was familiar to Tsuki.

"That boy from before..."

He mumbled but he couldn`t recall his name, he fast took his look as he sat on the table. He closed his eyes and started eating. After a while, he opened them and starred at the gym for a while.

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi laughed with the other students. Eating his food. He smiled at his friends. Sure he was popular and yes..he had friend but...no one that really was his best friend. No one he could open up too and talk with. Somehow his eyes spotted

Tsuki Takumi . So he did eat lunch in the cafeteria!

"E-Excuse me guy's."

He stood up and threw his food away..He barely ate any of it. He walked over to Takumi's table, there were a few people sitting around him but he wasn't talking to anyone...He looked..a little lonely and plus there was an open seat in across from him.

"um...Takumi? Is this seat..taken?"

He tried to smile at the other.

"I-I'm surprised your eating in the cafeteria. "

He tried to make small talk but perhaps the other just wanted to be alone...or better yet not bother with him.

[Ryouta]

"um...Takumi? Is this seat..taken?"

Tsuki looked at the other for a while after he came to him and asked a question immediately! He sighed as he started eating his snack, not really wanting to reply to him. The other talked again, he sure was talkative.

"I-I'm surprised your eating in the cafeteria. "

Tsuki was pissed again, he put his coffee down as he tried to calm down. He said in a cool voice!

"I just didn`t have any thing to eat? Is that strange?"

He glared at the other for a while as he continued with the food.

"Are you planning on practicing basketball with me?"

He asked as he stood up and threw his dish away after it was over. He walked to the other again ad picked his bag.

"If yes, Then let`s go to a field outside since the gym is already closed by now!"

Tsuki said walking to the gate, showed that he is not caring if the other would come or not but he wanted him to come, it was strange for him to have that feeling.

[Sosuke0549]

Tsuki looked very pissed again, he put his coffee down and said in a cool voice.

"I just didn`t have any thing to eat? Is that strange?"[/Quote]

Aoi flinched as he met the boys glare. He just stood there. Frozen. What was his problem?

"Are you planning on practicing basketball with me?"[/Quote]

The boy tensed at the question...one minute he's upset and rude...and the next he wants him to play basketball with him?

do you even ..want me too?

Be thought. The other stood throwing his dish away. He walked to him, grabbing his bag.

Perhaps he didn't mean to be a jerk on purpose.

"If yes, Then let`s go to a field outside since the gym is already closed by now."[/Quote]

Was he...inviting him?! Was he really gonna teach him how to play? He watched the other pass him.

He couldnt help but smile a little just as the bell rang.. the end of the day here...Inside he kind of wished it was a date! He grabbed his bag and hurried after him.

"Wait for me .."

[Ryouta]

"Wait for me .."

Tsuki grinned evilly as the other said that. He kinda knew it that he was going to be followed. He kinda liked it and he wanted to know more about the short male that was in love with him. He wondered what of Tsuki he had fallen for! He sighed lowly to make sure that the other won`t notice. He could hear the other`s footsteps when he was walked behind him. For sure, he was going to get close just to earn some money but...the other girls that wanted to go out with him, they all did anything for him to accept but the things he likes, specially basketball! He never saw a person that that started to like basketball because Tsuki loved it. It was hard for Tsuki to believe but a strong feeling or power, maybe his sixth sense was telling him that it was true! The shorter boy might have...

He might really have fallen for me...

He said inside as they arrived at the basketball field. Tsuki was a bit shocked because he had always felt that the way was so long and he was tried already.Because...he was all thinking about the boy and his feelings. He shook his head and tried to think about anything but that!

basketball! I should concentrate on basketball!

He threw his bag on the bench as he started dribbling that ball that he in his hands. He deep breathed and shot the ball. It went inside the basket as he know. He grabbed the ball again and threw it into the other!

"Did you practice your dribbles??"

He asked, staring at the other`s eyes. He took off his uniform and he was now with a shirt. His armed were shown, soft and sexy like always!

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi followers behind Tsuki . He stared at his back. Seeing his beautiful body and features. Aoi liked Tsuki a lot and would do almost anything for him. even learn basketball. Tho he knew he had no chance with the other...He was forever trapped in the friend Zone.

 

They reached the field and Aoi put his stuff down. The other hand changed. Wearing a tank top, showing off his muscular but slime arms. The other threw the ball at him and he caught it quickly.

"Did you practice your dribbles??"[/Quote]

Aoi looked at him biting his lip

"No sorry...I had piano practice the other day. I can practice now tho."

He smiled a little and started dribbling the ball. Showing the other what he could do.

[Ryouta]

"No sorry...I had piano practice the other day. I can practice now tho."

The other said biting his lips! He must have been like him, he loved something and he wanted to spend most of the time he had on it. Though his talent and interest was different! He loved music and Tsuki loved basketball. People are like that! No one can be exactly like another person. Everyone have an ability that other doesn`t have.

 

Tsuki sighed as he placed his hands on his own waist. He looked at the other as he started dribbling. He was not really bad but Tsuki just couldn`t bear with that damn position but he didn`t want to yell! He wanted to act cool as always!

"No...not like that!"

He said in a calm voice as he walked closer to him. He grabbed his waist to show him how he should hold it when dribbling. He also turned the other`s waist a bit more straight with his hands. He showed him how should he do it when he grabbed the ball and dribbled for him to see.

"Just like this!"

He looked at the other for a while after he gave the ball back to him. He gave the other a smile but it disappeared soon.

"Well done!"

[Sosuke0549]

Aoi was trying his best...He suddenly stopped hearing Tsuki's voice. He must of been doing something wrong.

"No...not like that!"[/Quote]

Aoi looked at the ground.

"..sorry.."

That's when the other walked closer to him. He grabbed his waist and tried to show him how he should hold it when dribbling. Aoi tensed up. Tsuki was touching his hips! He was touching him! He turned His waist a bit more straight with his hands. Causing Aoi to blush a little, but he was really trying to listen to him. The boy showed him how He should do it when he grabbed the ball and dribbled, Aoi watched him carefully. He was so graceful, so handsome!

"Just like this!"[/Quote]

"o-okay..I'll try."

Tsuki looked at him before giving him the ball back and he practically coppied the boy to a T!

And Aoi saw it... He saw the other smile at him!

"Well done!"[/Quote]

Aoi had a huge smile on his face now...Tsuki had praised him!! Tho his smile had disappeared his words made him so happy!

"This is fun..what's next"

He said eagerly.

[Ryouta]

"..sorry.."

He said looking down at the ground. He was kinda cute when he apologized, like an innocent child!! Tsuki couldn`t believe that he thinking like that about the shorter boy. It was kinda strange but he just found him kind and nice.

"o-okay..I'll try."

The thiny boy actually got the position so soon! He was a fast learner but as you know, Tsuki wasn`t satisfied yet. He was the best in basketball and he thought that others had to be too. The singer boy was good but he was in a low level for the tall boy. Tsuki sighed again but lowly, made sure that the other would not hear it. He saw the blush on the other`s face. It made Tsuki`s heart raise fast. Tsuki tried to calm down. What was wrong now?? Did he cough a cold in that sunny weather?? It wasn`t like that Tsuki would ask but he got kinda worried about it.

The short boy started dribbling! He was amazing! He was doing it exactly like Tsuki now. His dribbles just needed a bit strong hits on the grounds, they were perfect! He seemed happy after Tsuki praised him. Was it that important? Could his words make him that relieved??

"This is fun..what's next"

Tsuki woke up from daydreaming. He pointed at the basket and grabbed the ball from him, showed him the position of wrists, arms, back and knees.

"You should push your legs down and then release, jump and shot!"

He threw the ball simply inside with no hit! It was the basic form. He grabbed the ball from thew ground again and looked at the other, walked closer to him.

"Not that it`s my style! Mine shots are usually fast and like this!"

He wasn`t looking at the basket, he was face to face to the other male. He threw the ball from behind and made the shot, it was amazing!

"Got it now? Try..."

He gave him the ball.

[Sosuke0549]

Tsuki pointed at the basket and grabbed the ball from him. He showed the newbie how to position His wrists, arms, back and knees.

Aoi tried to copy his stance.

"You should push your legs down and then release, jump and shot!"[/Quote]

He nodded. Watching the boy shoot for the basket but miss. He retrieved the ball from the ground and looked at him, approaching Aoi.

"Not that it`s my style! Mine shots are usually fast and like this!"[/Quote]

Aoi watched with amazement as the other threw the ball facing him...and actually made it into the basket.

"No way!!"

He smiled from ear to ear. Blown away. How Did the other do that?!

"Got it now? Try..."[/Quote]

He gave him the ball. Aoi nodded as he stood in his stance and aimed for the basket, he then jumped and flicked his wrist. Shooting for the hoop and making it in....nothing but net. Aoi lit up.

"I...I did it! Did you see that

Takumi!! And nothing but net!! "

[Ryouta]

It looked like that the other was really serious about playing basketball, he wasn`t really doing it for only spending time with Tsuki and he also didn`t talk about anything but his feelings for Tsuki and music! Nothing about his family and the company or money and things like that.

 

Tsuki actually had already believed in the younger male. He tried to copy what Tsuki was doing, he looked amazed when Tsuki did that formless shot. His smile was kinda funny and also cute.

"No way!!"

Tsuki looked away and laughed slowly, not letting the other to hear. He liked the way the other acted and talked. Wait! What?

 

Tsuki tried to be cool, he coughed a few times and looked at the other the was trying to perform the position and shot inside the basket. Tsuki looked carefully at his arms when he shot. It went in. So goods for a newbie! He looked really happy because of it. Tsuki liked the boy and tried to accept him a bit since he learned how to play for a bit.

"I...I did it! Did you see that Takumi!! And nothing but net!! "

Tsuki nodded as he walked closer and raised his hand up, messed up his head for a bit with a gentle smile of his face. He was really handsome!

"Yes...you are a good student...eh...your name again? Fujitaka..."

He asked and was curious about the other`s name!

[Sosuke0549]

Tsuki nodded, praising him again as he walked closer and raised his hand up, messed up Aoi's hair,a gentle smile of his face. Aoi giggled a little like a gullible child. He liked it when Tsuki touched him... He was so tall, and handsome, and smart. He had it all...

"Yes...you are a good student...eh...your name again? Fujitaka..."[/Quote]

He asked for his name!! He nodded.

" Aoi Fujitaka. If...If you don't want to call me by my first name yet you can call me Fuji. Its easier. "

He pulled away from the other to retrieve the ball.

"Um.. if I may ask..What got you into basketball? Is there someone that you admire? Like a pro basketball player? Do you have a favorite team?"

[Ryouta]

Aoi giggled a little like a gullible child when Tsuki stroked his black hair. He was so cute that Tsuki started to like him, not believing it himself, why he was getting so close to him and why was he praising and touching him like that. The feelings were strange. He had feelings that he could not recognize what it was and what should he do about it. That kinda freaked him out.

"Aoi Fujitaka. If...If you don't want to call me by my first name yet you can call me Fuji. Its easier."

Tsuki reread the name inside his mind. "Aoi", it was a nice name and it suited the other. Also, it was related to his name. Tsuki meant "moon" and Aoi meant "blue". He could imagine both in a place place.

"Um.. if I may ask..What got you into basketball? Is there someone that you admire? Like a pro basketball player? Do you have a favorite team?"

Tsuki was kinda surprised by the question. He raised his head up. looking at the blue. One of his hands inside his pocket and the other playing with the ball on finger. He closed his eyes for a bit and then he starred at the big, orange ball.

"I don`t really know how I started loving basketball. I thing I got interested in it from a basketball game. After that, all my life was about basketball and basketball. I don`t have someone that I admire, I never looked up on to someone! But my favorite team is the team that I am in now. It`s our school`s team."

He looked at the other with a cool expression.

"Anyway...why do you want to know???"

He asked as he grabbed his bag and walked to the road. He had to obey his captain to not play basketball a lot since he would get tired for the tomorrow game.

[Sosuke0549]

"..Oh..I see."

He looked at the ground with a faint smile on his face. Thinking Tsuki was a sweet guy.

"Anyway...why do you want to know???"[/Quote]

"Oh uh...n-no reason! "

He gave a slightly panicked answer. In truth.. he wanted to know if Tsuki Had a favorite team or pro basket ball player because he thought it would be cool to take him to a basketball game. Kind of like a date... but the boy didn't have anything like that.

"I should go..I have to practice for the music competition, this week... Um.. I won't be able to do this anymore until it's over...but.. hopefully I'll see you around school."

He smiled looking a little sad...perhaps because he wouldn't hang out with the boy anymore. Aoi grabbed his bag, and quickly turned to leave.

"Good bye!"

He waved at the other. Leaving quickly.
