Disclaimer: I make no profit from making and posting this up. The characters are not mine (except maybe Rial) and I do not wish to be sued for this. Thank you.

Warning: Seeing as it is an M rated story, it should be understandable that there will be sex and other mature scenes (bad language, maybe violence). My spelling has not improved much during this time, so be ready for some pretty idiotic mistakes.

Italics – thoughts, twin telepathy thingy

Chapter 7

"That's my seishounen! I knew you were going to do well, I just knew it! Hahah! Rinko, bring me some sake, this calls for a celebration!" Nanjiroh patted Ryoma's back with such force that the poor kid almost fell of the chair. "And my other seishounen made it into the swimming team's regulars! I have two monsters as sons!" the happy man continued, ignoring the two glares sent at him.

Rial sighed and turned around to sleep on his stomach, "Why is he drunk already? I bet he smuggled some alcohol behind mom's back again."

"Not again," Ryoma threw a can of orange fanta to his twin, who was sleeping in the couch, "As always."

The youngest of the twins returned to his math homework, trying to ignore his father's drunk proclamations of fatherly love and the soft buzz and mix of voices that came from the television. He really wanted to finish this, but the numbers were constantly changing and forming these formulas that he didn't know how to use, confusing and misleading him even more.

And then there was tennis.

The tennis that his new captain had showed him. The tennis that felt more alive that anything Ryoma had ever done. Sure, he loved tennis, but not in the same way that Keigo did. It was painfully obvious that the elder teen loved tennis for different reasons, since Ryoma's tennis was made surely for the purpose of beating his old man.

Just for that.

So this new feeling, this feeling of freedom and excitement, the thrill of a rally, the heaviness of a smash and a return – it all suddenly felt so new and never before known to Ryoma. It was like he had seen tennis for the first time all over again.

What are you thinking about? Rial quietly asked in Ryoma's head, his voice low and quiet, not like the usual perky one.

Ryoma dropped his pencil on the notebook and leaned back in the chair. About this and that. Tennis mostly. He closed his eyes and tried to make all the noise around him disappear, I feel like I have met them before.

Them as in…? But you know, they are too pushy and touchy-freely with you. Rial sipped his fanta and switched the channels, too bored of the sappy Japanese dramas that were airing. I don't like it.

Ryoma chose not to answer his twin brother. To tell you the truth, Ryoma did find the sudden attention directed at him weird, a little creepy even. He had met his sempais just recently, not like they were from the same middle school or anything, and now all this happened. That tennis match especially.

And yet, Fuji and Monkey King were bugging him for the last few days and for some strange reason Ryoma couldn't get really annoyed at them, like he usually did. And this uncomfortable feeling that he actually knew them didn't leave. It was strange.

Tomorrow's a day off, right? Rial suddenly asked, casually dropping the previous theme. Wanna go explore? I heard from my sempais that there's this huge adventure park. Supposedly it's the thing around here.

Ehhh... Sure, let's go. Ryoma tapped the table with the back of his pencil and looked over his shoulder at his brother. Rial seemed carefree right now, but from the fifteen years of knowing him Ryoma new that that carefree attitude this time wasn't real.

"On second thought, this is freaking weird." Ryoma muttered under his nose and glared at the happy people around him.

Rial tsk-ed at his baby brother and then patted his head, as if comforting a small child. "You really don't get it, do you dear brother? It's all about male bonding. Male bonding!" he grinned when he saw the peeved expression on Ryoma's face.

"Male bondings don't usually happen in places like this." Ryoma sighed. He regretted the decision to leave his old cap at home today.

"So it's a little pink, you'll survive it." Rial answered and then grabbed Ryoma by the hand. "Let's go to that one! It looks like a barfer!" the giggle-laugh that the boy made was in no way comforting.

Ryoma was forcefully dragged to the monster-like looking ride, his deadpan facial expression staying in its pace, even when he was screaming for mercy on the inside. He should have known that this was a bad idea. Rial's obsession with things that make people uncomfortable wasn't something new. Ryoma should have known that his twin would go for the rides that make you sick and scarred for life.

He should have known.

"Oh come one, don't be such a sourpuss. It was a pretty awesome ride!" Rial patted Ryoma on the back, his eyes already searching for the next horror device to ride on.

Ryoma groaned and shot his twin a weak glare. "You weren't the one who almost said goodbye to his breakfast, moron." His face was sickly pale now, thanks to that never-ending spinning and the shrill screams around him. "Never again."

"You always say that, but still come with me, brother of mine." Rial snickered and stood up.

"I don't go, I'm forced." Ryoma corrected his twin and lied down on the bench. Now that Rial was standing he had enough place to do that. "Next time you use me as bait for punishing my stalkers, please let me know beforehand. My stomach can't take much of this."

Rial blinked, innocence actually radiation off of him. "Ehh…. You found out? How boring." He faked a pout, but then smirked. "What gave me off?"

"The fact that you forget to keep your thoughts to yourself sometimes, I heard you scheming." The youngest twin let out a breath and looked up at his brother, "Thanks, but no more."

"Hahahaha! Really… You're quite sneaky, aren't you dear brother of mine?" Rial's green-tinted black hair sparkled in the sunlight as he bent down to hover his face right above Ryoma's, "No wonder we're twins."

Gold met gold as the two looked at each other. It might have seemed as a romantic moment, but it wasn't. It was a silent exchange of few half-assed insults, name calling and jokes about stalkers. They sometimes did this, just look into each other's eyes and converse. It gave a better grasp of the other's feelings and mood.

"You know," an all too familiar voice cut in the twins alone time, "as much as I think that what you are doing could be quite charming, cute even, I am afraid it might scar the little children around you."

Ryoma's eye twitched and Rial grinned down on his baby brother. "Oh really? I would have thought that all that purple and glitter would affect them more." Ryoma sat up and glared at Keigo.

"Brat."

"Monkey King."

Rial just smiled and acted as if he wasn't a part of this. It was very amusing to watch the two fight it out with words, the insults were always well thought out and aimed to push the right kind of buttons. Still, he leaned a bit to the left, why have they multiplied now? As far as he knew, they were only three of them… And now they are five.

They look even gayer than us two. He thought to Ryoma, glancing back at the teen. He watched as Ryoma nonchalantly moved his body to see behind Keigo and then the slight twitch of the corners of his mouth.

There was a small sigh and soon Ryoma's thoughts vibrated in his head, You know, I had my doubts before today, that Fuji and Monkey Kind were, you know… hitting it off, but now.. It's just ridiculous.

I know what you mean. Rial resumed his normal stance and offered his hand to his brother.

"Oh, Echizen brothers! What a coincidence to meet you here!" Fuji stepped besides Keigo and smiled, like he usually did. "One of you probably knows Genichirou already, right?" he pulled the unwilling teen to stand next to him.

So that's him? The ninja man. Rial smiled and bowed his head a little, in order to show respect. The elder boy in front of him looked like one of those that were raised in a traditional way, so politeness was probably much liked with these kinds of people.

Ryoma glared at his twin and tch-ed, not bothering to acknowledge Sanada, nor the other two that had joined them.

Now that the five were standing together it was clear why the two boys no longer questioned the nature of their relationship. If they had their doubts before, when only Keigo and Fuji were together, then now… The pink aura around the five was just ridiculous. Even Ryoma, who got the hang of things as well as he remembered faces and names, couldn't not notice this.

Especially since they were out of the school uniforms now. Rial couldn't quite explain it, but they just gave off this… vibe.

"Ohh… Are these the two that you talked about, Syuu? My, they do look cute together. Let's see… Rial and Ryoma, was it? Who's the one in the tennis club?" the blue-haired teen asked, smiling kindly at the two. He seemed kind at first glance, but his looks probably helped to give off that impression.

He had the same slender body build as Fuji, but he didn't posses the visible muscles on his arms and legs (he was wearing shorts). Short dark blue hair that went to middle-neck and dark blue eyes. He might be able to fool some people into thinking that he was a girl, much like Fuji, but that smile told otherwise. It had the same edge to it. The same edge that Fuji's smile had.

"He is." Rial pulled Ryoma closer to himself, arms winding around Ryoma's neck, "But you know, it's not fair, is it?" he enjoyed the fact that Ryoma wasn't struggling for once.

The teen blinked and asked, "What's not fair?" he got a look from the other unknown teen of the five, the one that was wearing glasses and looked older that he actually was. "What is it, Kuni?"

The bespectacled boy shook his head a little. He was wearing simple clothes – black jeans and a short-sleeved button-up red shirt, his messy hair shaped his face nicely and if you got around the stoic face, he actually looked kind of nice. Although poker faced.

The bespectacled boy pushed up his glasses a bit and then simply said, "Introductions."

"Really, Sei, are you playing with us? You should really spend less time alone with Syuusuke. He is rubbing on you." Keigo made this unnecessary movement with his right hand in the air and then placed it on his hip, "Only Syuusuke would do that."

"I will have to agree with Keigo, Seiichi." Sanada added and then glared at Fuji for some reason, his hands going behind his back, as if to guard something.

Ryoma narrowed his eyes and then nudged Rial weakly. He was getting tired of this already. Rial, on the other hand, was more than happy to leave the company of his sempais as soon as possible. Even if he liked to socialize with people, even he was starting to get slightly annoyed.

He took it on himself to excuse them, if it were on Ryoma to do so he would simply leave. "If you would excuse us now," he said, "We would like to go now and continue to ride to attractions." He smiled a fake smile of politeness and turned around, pulling Ryoma along.

"Ahh, wait a sec. Why don't we go together? Since we just came ourselves? We can show you around too." Fuji was suddenly standing in front of them. When he had done that, the twins couldn't tell. The third-year leaned down slightly, so that they were on the same eye level, "Ne?"

The smile playing on his lips was, simply put, the smile of the devil.

"Oh, what a good idea, Syuu! I'm Yukimura Seiichi, by the way." Yukimura was now right behind Rial and placed his hands on the kid's shoulders, "And the one with the glasses is Tezuka Kunimitsu. A pleasure to meet you."

Ryoma glared at his brother and let out a small growl. I told you this was a bad idea.

A/N: I'm sorry for the crappy-ness of this chapter. I promise I will start to write quality again. I've just been in and out of writer's blocks (yes, many of them), exams and high school graduation. It was all too much for me. But I promise I will get back into this, as much as it is possible with me having these phases of not wanting to do a shit.

But anyway, I have a depressing-ish one-shot in the making and then I plan to update the rest of my ongoing fics and maybe finally take "For my Entertainment" off the hiatus. And hopefully, my writing will go back to quality from the crap that it has turned into right now. OTL

Well… thank you for putting up with me. I love you all for that!
