It's done... It's finally done. I couldn't pick it up for years and in just one week it's done.

Please review, I love reviews.

The conversation between the five boyfriends had lasted the rest of the day and well into the night. They had all apologized so many times that Ryoma had to threaten to sleep in one of the guest bedrooms if they didn't stop. He'd explained to them calmly and quietly that yes he'd been feeling a little unsure. Almost like they didn't care enough to be part of things he enjoyed, but that he knew that wasn't true. They reassured him that it certainly wasn't the case, though they had no real excuse for not seeking to know him better. That would change they told him repeatedly, and proceeded to show him how much they treasured him.

"Saa, Ryoma, you do realize that we're not letting you out of our sites for some time." Fuji said as they all settled for sleep.

Ryoma simply smiled to find himself in the middle of the bed once again with all of them touching him.

"Mada mada dane."

...OT5... The Next Day.

"Ryoma are you ready yet?" Atobe called out impatiently. He and the others had been waiting for three quarters of an hour.

Ryoma came walking out of their bedroom with a large bag over his shoulder. He blinked lazily at his lovers in confusion.

"What are you all waiting for? I have to be somewhere, so we'll have to go out later." the hazel eyed boy said as he headed for the door.

"Ryoma, Shusuke told you last night." Tezuka said putting an arm around the teens shoulders.

The boy raised an eyebrow in response.

"We know about your plans for today Ryoma. We are more than happy to go to the beach with you and Holly-chan." Sanada said with a soft smile.

Echizen stared up at him in surprise. They had talked about his helping teach disabled kids tennis last night, but he didn't remember telling them that he was taking some of the kids to the beach after training that day. Kato senior had agreed to drive the special bus and several of the parents would be there, though they all trusted Ryoma implicitly with their offspring. He'd proved himself again and again to be responsible and caring with their children.

"Yes, Ore-sama was quite taken with the child. We will all be going to the beach today."

"Don't worry Ryoma, we already made it right with Kato-san and he informed the parents. We're going to help teach them as well. Really if we had known we would have been with you in this from the beginning," Fuji said with a closed eyed smile. "Now our things are already in the car so we should be going or we'll be late."

...OT5... One month later.

Fuji Yumiko sat staring at the screen in disbelief. Her brothers were going to flip when they saw this. She had never told Shusuke that she was co-owner of several businesses with Atobe, one of which was a private detective agency. The same agency that had called all of its detectives and interns out to search for her brother's missing boyfriend that day. It had taken some time for this information to reach her. Apparently several of the detectives had ignored the two interns that tried to give them this video, they'd declared it unimportant since the whole thing was over and done with.

She would deal with those people later, but for now she watched as her youngest brother's team manager manipulated Echizen Ryoma when the boy clearly was asking for help. Yes, dealing with this deceitful creature took precedence over her employees. Eyes opened in a glare even as she smiled icily and picked up the phone.

"Yuuta, I'm sending you a video. You have one day before I give it to Shusuke. Don't let him escape."

...OT5...

Ryoma smiled at his cousin as he stepped out of her car in front of the restaurant. They'd been spending more time together since the Taro fiasco. She'd felt guilty over not believing him whenever he'd tried to tell her about him. The two cousins had many long conversations, and though she'd been shocked and even a little angry in the beginning, her cousin was very important to her. She had turned that anger outward on the one phone conversation she'd had with her ex-boyfriend. It was like night and day, he'd become a raving lunatic after that day and he no longer bothered to hide it. His lawyer was trying for an insanity plea and it looked like he would win that argument. Taro was enraged further when Nanako refused to support him. All this simply led Ryoma and herself to become all the more close.

Today she'd picked him up from an appointment since she had the day off from work. She had asked if he wanted to come back home for dinner with her and his parents but he already had plans with his boyfriends. They hadn't let him out of their sight for weeks until he'd told them they were smothering him. The five had come to some happy medium in the end. He still wasn't alone often, but they had backed off enough to satisfy him for now. Still the four of them seemed to be walking on eggshells around him.

Ryoma sighed to himself as he entered the restaurant only to find himself the first to arrive. The hostess had asked him to wait a moment as she dealt with a customers bill. He didn't have to wait long as the others came in shortly after in two groups. Tezuka and Fuji arrived first followed two minutes later by Sanada and Atobe. The hostess turned to Ryoma since he'd arrived first.

"Good evening, are you five together?"

Ryoma smiled slightly and responded softly, just loud enough for his boyfriends and the hostess to hear.

"Yes, yes we are all together."

...OT5... the next day.

Ryoma had a funny look on his face that morning as he walked onto the tennis court for morning practice. He'd been remembering parts of that frightening day on and off for the past month and something had occurred to him as he was changing. The rest of the team were waiting for the coach to arrive when Ryoma walked over to Kaidoh.

"Sempai, where did you go that day? We never got to finish the match after I lost my memory." he said absently caught up in the memory of playing tennis that fateful day. Kaidoh eyes widened in fright as he felt two people walk up behind him.

"Kaidoh! One hundred laps, every morning for the rest of the month!"

"Saa, I'll deal with you after I destroy Mizuki."
