-///////////--------/////////------////-

The gym is very lively at early morning. The squeaking of shoes and dribbling of balls can be heard all over it.

But what's louder are the squealing of the girls from the bleachers, making Coach Masako's eye twitch in annoyance.

"R/N! Do something about those!" The coach growled at R/N making the young girl drop the ball she was about to pass to a club member.

"Eh? Coach, only Himuro-kun can do something about those." She stated with a scared tone.

"Tch, that Himuro isn't here yet! I will smack him so hard later when he gets here!" A gloomy aura surrounded the coach making R/N step backward. Only to bump to someone.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" She immediately turned around and bowed deeply.

She heard a low chuckle making her look up. She immediately regretted it though, because the person she found instantly made her blush.

"A-ah Hi-himuro-kun. I'm sorry for bumping into you!" She regretted shouting his name loudly as well. Because with that, his fangirls starts squealing louder.

"Its alright R/N-chan." He smiled though she wonder if that was truly sincere. She often wonder about the sincerity of the male's smile anyway.

"Himuro, do something about your horrible fans! They are getting in the way! Then get to practice!" Coach Masako glared at the male while gripping her wooden stick hard.

Himuro smiled at the coach and proceeded to the girls place and tried to talk things out to them.

R/N's gaze followed Himuro and she sighed.

At least he knows my name. Unlike those fans of his, right? I am actually one step ahead of them. Thought R/N positively.

She was lost in her thoughts, and before she could even snap back to reality, a ball flew straight to her face.

The gym went silent. R/N fell to her bottom with a loud thud.

"R/N! Oh my God! I am so sorry! " Fukui exclaimed going to the girl's side immediately.

R/N didn't answer, her head was hanging low while her hands cover her face.

"R/N? Shit, I'll take you to the infirma-"

"I'll take her Fukui-senpai." Himuro crouched down and lifted R/N from the floor.

"Ah, but-"

"I'll take her." Himuro cut Fukui off and smiled.

What's with that smile? Its creepy. Fukui thought then gulped.

"R/N?" Himuro softly called out but didn't heard an answer. He walked fast to the infirmary, afraid that R/N must be hurting too much.

The infirmary seems to be empty though. Himuro looked around looking for the school doctor or the nurse, but he found no one.

He put R/N down to the empty bed and searched around for something that might help her ease the pain.

R/N remained silent. Her e/c eyes looked up to the ceiling.

What, happened? She frowned remembering what she was doing earlier. Oh, that's right, I was hit by a ball while I was spacing out.

She heard a chuckle from her side. She looked at that person and was surprised to see Himuro standing there holding a cold compress.

She suddenly sat up making her head spin a little.

"Easy there now, R/N-chan~." Himuro cooed touching the girl's shoulder gently.

"Himuro-kun, what are you doing here?" She asked looking at the a male with confused eyes.

That earned her another chuckle from Himuro. "That hit must really be hard then, to make you not even aware of what's happening around you earlier. I brought you here R/N-chan."

Himuro placed the cold compress to R/N's forehead. R/N cringed at the sudden feeling of it touching her hurting head.

"I don't know if there are other damages to you, and the doctor isn't here, so we have to wait." Himuro smiled to her making her blushed.

R/N immediately cast her gaze somewhere else. Wait, us?

"Ah, Himuro-kun I'll take care of this. You should go back now as well, I'll just wait here myself." R/N smiled and tried grabbing the compress from Himuro's hand but he touched her hand with his free one making her stop reaching for it.

"R/N, I can't do that. And I won't do that." Himuro stated with his blank face.

"But they'll need you there!" She tried to argue while trying so hard as well to stop her face from flushing because if his hold to her.

"R/N-chan stay still." Himuro commanded.

"But, you need to practice, Himuro-kun! " Himuro did not answer, instead he put R/N's hand back down.

R/N sighed knowing that the male would not listen to her anymore.

Himuro smiled with satisfaction that the girl actually submitted to him.

That day, Himuro even accompany her back home.

The little things you do to me are, taking me over,
I wanna show you,
Everything inside of me are
Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating.

-----------////////--------////----/////

Its been two weeks since the ball-hitting-infirmary incident. At that amount of time R/N will occasionally talk to Himuro, but it will always be basketball related so the girl thought that nothing actually changed in their relationship.

She still looks at him from afar. Wondering if he actually notice her even without her trying.

My feet are stuck here against the pavement,
I wanna break free,
I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes
Get your attention
Before you pass me by

She glanced around the gym, away from Himuro and the girls that are trying to get his attention.

"You'll be hit by a ball again, if you continue spacing out R/N-chin." She looked up, real high at the towering giant in front of her.

"Ah, Atsushi, do you need anything?" She asked unfazed by the earlier statement of Murasakibara.

Murasakibara smiled and put his hand on R/N's head, ruffling her hair gently. "I'm hungry R/N-chin, do you have any snacks with you?~"

"Sorry Atsushi, I just ate my last Maiubo." R/N answered honestly.

"Hmm, then you taste like Maiubo, right R/N-chin?" Murasakibara asked loudly earning some stares from the people in the gym.

R/N tilted her head and looked up to Murasakibara confusingly.
"I guess?" She answered a few seconds later.

"Well, itadakimasu." Murasakibara leaned closer to R/N's face the girl still staring at him confusingly.

Murasakibara's face was only a few inches away from R/N's when suddenly something hit his head . He immediately straightened up and looked down to whatever that hit him. It was a box of Pocky.

He glanced at it for awhile then reached down for it. "Thank you, Muro-chin." He said while walking away from a still confused R/N.

"R/N, can we talk for a moment?" R/N was surprised to see Himuro standing next to her.

"Su-sure." Himuro started walking towards the gym's exit making R/N follow him.

Himuro entered the boy's locker room, but R/N stopped just before the entrance of the room.

"Its alright R/N, no one's here." She heard Himuro said and she reluctantly stepped in the room.

"Himuro-kun what is it?" She asked nervously and tried to avoid the male's gaze at her.

"Why do you call Atsushi by his first name?" He asked out of the blue.

"Eh? We-well he told me to call him like that." She answered truthfully, still confuse as to where this conversation is going.

"Did you know what he was about to do earlier?" Himuro asked again, this time R/N looked up to him.

"Ah, no? But he did say "itadakimasu" even though I told him that I don't have any snacks." She answered honestly again.

Himuro sighed deeply making R/N tilt her head to the side a little.

"R/N, you are so naive. Even a guy like Atsushi, who is really childish can be dangerous." He said looking straight to R/N's eyes.

"Eh? Was he about to do something bad to-" R/N cut herself off, thinking back now, what Murasakibara's about to do earlier was now clear to her. She flushed, embarrassed about what it might look like earlier and embarrassed because she actually made it look, unknown to her though, that she will let him do it.

"Finally." Himuro said with irritation in his voice but he does not know if its directed to Murasakibara or to R/N or to himself.

"Ah! I'm so embarrassed! Why would Atsushi do that?! Ugh, I might have looked like a fool back there! I hate him!" R/N huffed and pouted while crossing her arms to her chest.

This time, Himuro was surprised. So she can be angry as well. He thought.

"Ah, Himuro-kun, I need to talk things out to Atsushi, so I'll be going now." R/N suddenly said, a frown evident on her face.

She was about to walk out when she heard Himuro called her back. "R/N."

She stopped and looked back at Himuro. She was surprised to see the male having a gloomy aura around him and looking down. "Hi-himuro-kun?"

"Tatsuya." He growled.

"E-eh?" R/N gulped taking a step back from the male.

"I want you to call me Tatsuya. You call Atsushi by his first name. So I want you to call me by mine as well." He ordered still not looking at R/N.

Eh? Why would he want me to call him that? Could he actually like me?! And is actually jealous of Atsushi?! Wait, no that's impossible! She immediately shook the thought away.

"I, I mean, uhm, well, okay. Ta- Tatsuya." She still complied though and looked away hiding her flushed face behind the back of her hand.

Silence enveloped the room where the two are, after what seem like a couple of hours, though it was just seconds, R/N looked back at Himuro.

Himuro smiled. A gentle yet wide smile.

R/N gaped at Himuro not knowing what to do. He looks so, angelic, no majestic, wait heavenly maybe? I'm sure he looks so perfect though. She thought wildly, still looking at the male while blushing so hard.

Himuro skipped past R/N when he was at the exit already, he stopped. "And don't bother with Atsushi, I'll talk to him instead." He said before walking away from the still frozen R/N. "And let's go home together again, R/N.~"

While R/N remained there confused as to what just happened, Himuro is thinking of not just "talking" with Atsushi later, and of course what he will do to his lovely and adorable R/N.

Wait, I'm going home with him again?! R/N gaped at the lockers in front of her with flushed face.

---------------////////-------//////////--

Back up, back up
Take another chance
Don't you mess up, mess up
I don't want to lose you
Wake up wake up
This ain't just a thing that you give up give up
Don't just say that I'll be better off, better off sitting by myself and wondering
If I'm better off, better off
Without you boy.

R/N was walking around the school aimlessly. She always do this to take her mind off of things and just to pass her time.

When she was just about to take another step she heard the name of Himuro being called out. She stopped and propped herself against the wall.

"Himuro-kun! I'm Sawada Yuki! I-I'm your classmate and I've liked you for a while now! Please, please consider going out with me!" The girl named Sawada Yuki confessed loudly enough to make R/N heard.

What a brave soul! She thought. Unlike me. Wait, she's a classmate? Then that means, that they are always together right? Are they close? Wait no, she still needed to properly tell him her name so that means they never really talked right?

"Sawada-san, I know you, so no need to inform me about your name." R/N can't see Himuro but she's positive that he is smiling a little to the girl. "But I'm sorry I can't accept your feelings."

Poor girl. R/N pitied the girl, thinking that if that was her there, she's probably be rejected as well.

"I-I understand." R\N heard Sawada's voice shaking, and R/N is sure that she's crying right now.

Sawada might really like him that much then. She heard footsteps that are walking away from the place she was in. She sighed and leaned to the wall.

"R/N."

"Kyaa! I was not eavesdropping I swear, I did not hear anything! Nor did I saw anything!" She defensively exclaimed to whoever called her name.

She heard a chuckle and looked at the owner of it.

It was Hinata Shoichi, the soccer club's ace and her classmate as well as her neighbor.

She flushed again embarrassed that she said all those things.

"So you were eavesdropping huh, R/N?" Hinata teases making the girl flush harder.

"N-no! I just told you I was not!" She defensively said again and pouted looking away from the boy.

"Okay okay, you weren't." Hinata reached her head and ruffled her H/C hair a little.

"Sho-Shoichi I told you to stop doing that!" She swat his hands away making the boy laugh.

"Sorry, sorry. Anyway, I've been looking for you." Hinata said taking back his hand to his side.

"Why?" R/N asked looking at the male expectedly.

"Let's go home together, we haven't done that in a while." He said while looking at R/N's eyes.

"Well, we've both been busy nowadays. With you joining soccer and me being the basketball club's manager we can't really find time to go home together now huh." She thought out loud.

"That's right! That is why we should go home together and stop by at Lo-bachan's ramen house as well!" Hinata excitedly said.

The girl squinted her eyes at the male, suspicious about his real motive. "I don't know."

"Eh?! Ah, don't worry! It'll be my treat this time! I promise!" Hinata said knowing that the girl thought he just want a free ramen from her.

"Okay then! When are you going to finish your practice? Ours will probably be at 5:30." She said, excited to have a free ramen.

"I'll just swing by to the gym then before that time! We don't have practice today but I have some things to finish up at the library." Hinata said and started to walk off to the opposite direction.

"Alright then. See you, Shoichi!" she waved before walking away as well.

"See yah!" The boy waved back looking at R/N's retreating form.

And everytime, you notice me by
Holding me closely and saying sweet things
I don't believe that it could be speaking your mind and saying the real thing
My feet are broke free and I am leaving
I'm not gonna stand here, feeling lonely
But I don't regret it, and I don't think its
Just a waste of time

Coach Masako blew her whistle signalling the end of practice. R/N gave out water bottles and towels to everyone with a "Good job" with it.

"Thank you, R/N-chan." Himuro said while swiping his sweat with the towel R/N gave him. R/N blushed when Himuro's face yesterday flashed through her mind.

"You're welcome Hi- Tatsuya." She glanced away, almost forgetting that she should call him like that now.

Himuro seemed to be really happy hearing his name from R/N's lips that he did not realised he had been smiling wide the whole time.

"Muro-chin, you look creepy." Murasakibara commented taking a large gulp of water from his bottle.

Himuro shoot him a glare but it only made Murasakibara shrugged and walk off.

"Anyway, R/N-chan are you-"

"R/N-chan.~" Himuro was cut off by the sudden voice that called R/N's name sweetly. He frowned and looked at the direction it come from and his gaze landed on Hinata Shoichi, he heard a lot of things about the boy that is undoubtedly popular around the school as well, after all he is the soccer club's ace.

"Ah, Shoichi!" R/N immediately went to Hinata leaving the frowning Himuro behind.

"Eh? You aren't done yet?~" Hinata whined.

"Ah, well something happened earlier, causing a delay in practice!" R/N said referring to Murasakibara and Himuro's little argument earlier about something.

"Mou, its already 5:30." Hinata pouted. Seriously, he really is a child sometimes. R/N thought, sighing at her friend.

"I'm sorry,Shoichi. If you want you can stay here and wait for me? Or you can go ahead already?" She asked the boy.

"Eh? But I want to go home with you!" He whined again louder this time.

"But-"

"R/N, go ahead. Murasakibara and Himuro will take care of closing the gym up." Coach Masako said nonchalantly. "After all they are at fault for delaying the practice earlier."

"But-"

"Go ahead R/N-chin. Muro-chin and I will take care of everything here." Murasakibara agreed suddenly.

"Eh? Are you sure Atsushi? I mean, you would really do that?" R/N asked the giant, confused as to why he actually agreed on the Coach's punishment.

"I'm sure. You're okay with it as well right, Muro-chin?" Murasakibara looked at Himuro, drawling out his name.

"Yes, its alright." Himuro answered with venom in his voice that only Murasakibara noticed.

"Uhm, okay then. Thanks Atsushi, Tatsuya!" R/N bowed to the two. "Minna, goodbye! See you tomorrow!"

With that R/N left the gym with a grinning Hinata.

On the other hand Himuro is seething with rage at Murasakibara and Hinata. But mostly, at Hinata.

----------/////////-/------/////////////
Back up, back up
Take another chance
Don't you mess up, mess up
I don't want to lose you
Wake up wake up
This ain't just a thing that you give up give up
Don't just say that I'll be better off, better off sitting by myself and wondering

"Do you like him?" R/N turned around only to find Himuro glowering at her and glaring at her.

"Eh? Tatsuya? What are you talking about?" She asked nervously, taking a step away from the male, but Himuro only took another two steps to her.

She can't say she didn't like the feeling of Himuro being so close to her but the way he is cornering her is way to uncomfortable.

"Hinata Shoichi, do you like him? R/N, have you heard the rumours about him being a player with girls and all? You can't like him, R/N!" she flinched at Himuro's word. But she also grew irritated at the male for talking bad about Hinata. Hinata is her best friend after all and she knows that those rumours are just lies.

"Himuro, I like him alright, but not in that way! And those rumours are not true so stop saying stuff like that! You don't know him the way I do!" She snapped. She was clenching her fists and was shaking, though she like Himuro she just can't let him say things like that about Hinata.

Himuro was taken back by R/N's outburst. He took a step back, realising what he just said and what he might actually sounded like, he looked down, ashamed.

"I'm sorry R/N. I should have not said those things." He apologised and walked away.

"Why do you even care if I like him?" R/N asked gently, without anger in her
voice this time.

Himuro did not answered her though and just left her there waiting for his answer.

That's right why do I care?

Don't just leave me hanging on.
Don't just leave me hanging on.

The little things you do to me are, taking me over,
I wanna show you,
Everything inside of me are
Like a nervous heart that is crazy beating.
My feet are stuck here against the pavement,
I wanna break free,
I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes
Get your attention
Before you pass me by
Don't just leave me hanging on.

Its been three weeks since Himuro confronted R/N about Hinata. After that things got awkward between the two.

Both of them do not know how to approach each other, so they just avoided any kind of communication.

Every time they passed by each other they'll look away or pretend to be busy with something. Every time an opportunity for them to talk to each other rises, they'll avert their eyes away and just nod or let another person to take over the talking.

Himuro wasn't liking any of that. He wants R/N to talk to him. He wants to talk to her, but he just can't seem to find any courage to do that.

R/N was utterly confused. She is angry at Himuro but at the same time she wants to reach for him. Will she actually have to go back from looking at him from afar again? Not that she was not doing that even though they have started talking to each other often before the confrontation happened.

R/N was left at the storage room organising things that afternoon. Everyone already went home, though some club members wanted to stay with her to help, she cheerfully declined and told them she will be just fine.

She sighed for the nth time and continue stacking up newly washed towels to its cabinet.

What should I do? She asked herself and closed her eyes.

Back up, back up
Take another chance
Don't you mess up, mess up
I don't want to lose you
Wake up wake up
This ain't just a thing that you give up give up
Don't just say that I'll be better off, better off sitting by myself and wondering
If I'm better off, better off
Without you boy.

"R/N." She frozed. Knowing who it is, she did not bother to look at the person.

"Himuro." Himuro grimaced at the cold tone that R/N is using while saying his name.

So we're back at "Himuro". He thought sadly while making his way towards the girl.

"I'm really sorry." He said as he stopped just behind the girl who is still unmoving.

"Okay." The girl coldly replied.

"I really should not have said those things." Himuro added.

"Okay." The girl repeated again.

"I was only acting that way because I was jealous. Jealous that you went home with him. And I was scared that you might like him." Himuro added again. This time the girl did not answer.

"I love you R/N. I really do, that day I wanted to confessed to you, but you, well, you went home with him. I was so hurt, that you actually agreed on going home with him. That was why I was so angry the next day, but I didn't meant to snapped at you." He continued.
"R/N please look at me?" He softly asked but R/N did not turned around.

So Himuro turned her but he was surprised to see R/N flushed and crying.

"R/N, what did I-, I'm sorry! " He said while taking a step away from the girl not knowing what to do.

R/N fell on her knees and sobbed. Himuro looked at her wide eye, he still do not know what to do. He froze at his spot.

"Wha-what should I do? I'm really happy. I'm so happy to hear those words from you, Tatsuya." R/N's voice brought Himuro back.

"R/N, what do you mean?" He asked relunctantly.

R/N giggled softly, making the boy frown. "I love you too, Tatsuya, you don't know how long I have been in love with you, I don't even know myself." She finally looked up at Himuro, tears brimming at her eyes and her face flushed. She smiled gently at Himuro who is now staring at her with his mouth slightly open.

Pink tints started to appear at his face and he slumped down at the floor with her.

"Wow, now I am happy." He sighed and looked at R/N's flushed face.

They smiled at each other. Himuro wiped away the tears from R/N's face and leaned down.

He closed the space between them and softly kissed her.

It was so gentle and soft that R/N asked herself if it really happened. If Himuro Tatsuya, the Himuro Tatsuya, really kissed her.

She looked back at Himuro, his face is flushed as well, but she is sure that hers is redder.

"His my best friend, Hinata that is. And he is going out with my Onee-san, and they both love each other. I'm sure of that because I always watched them from the sidelines especially Hinata, just to make sure he does not cheat on her." She suddenly said, the last part coming our with a chuckle.

"I see, so, you're basically saying I shouldn't be jealous of him right?" He asked laughing a little.

"Something like that." She answered while intertwining her fingers with him.

"I love you, R/N." Himuro whispered.

" I love you, Tatsuya." They leaned on each other hoping for another kiss.

"Eh, what's this? I want to know if R/N-chin taste like Maiubo too, Muro-Chin." When suddenly Murasakibara went in.

"Damn it, Murasakibara! I told you to stay still!" Fukui scolded the giant while glaring at him.

"Why does Himuro gets all the girls?!" Yosen's loud captain suddenly whined with tears running down his face.

"I congratulate thee." Wei Lui said respectably at the two.

Himuro shook from embarrassment and of course from disappointment that he was not able to kiss R/N again.

R/N did not care though she's just happy that she win't be looking at Himuro from afar from now on.

After all, he's her boyfriend and she is his girlfriend now. Right?~

Don't just leave me hanging on.~

"Lets take this somewhere else R/N."

-The End-

Boooooo~
