( ...it feels good, he needs him now, he needs Shin to hold him... )Now, Sena had a bowl of instant ramen empty, he just placed the white bowl on the table in his room, he’s way too scared -yes, he had to admit he’s scared- to went downstairs because of the cruel storm.
A flash of thunder and Sena hides his head deeper under the blankets, he’s practically shaking, his bed feels warmth but cold at the same time. Another one and he yelped, gripping the blankets tighter, trying to cover his ears with the sheets but failed as another one struck again, sounds so close. This time, tears brimming in his eyes, sighing, his hands reach for the cell phone on the night stand, turning it on and waits until the screen appear. He smiled as the image of Deimon Devil Bats flashing in front of him, thinking about his team mates certainly makes him better.
He opens his phone book, scrolling it down until he stops on the number of Shin Seijuuro. Sighing, he snuggled deeper to the blankets while thinking wether to call him or not. The only one who could bring true peace right now is none other than Shin. Whenever Shin’s around, he feels secure, like nothing could go wrong, he finds comforts under Shin’s gazes, he likes it when Shin’s hand clasped around his own, or when Shin slowly graced his thumbs along his cheek, it feels right with Shin around.
However, Sena discards the idea of calling Shin, the Oujo player would probably broke the phone even before Sena could talk a word or call his name, and it would be useless. But Shin should knew that Sena is feeling insecure right now, nee? Well, they’ve been dating, that, if you can call it dating, for almost 3 months now, and Shin, despites his emotionless face and serious attitude, is actually very caring. He’d knew right away whenever Sena is feeling bad or uncomfortable, he’d hold his hands whenever Sena is nerous, he’d pat his head whenever Sena is happy, and sometimes, he treats him something whenever Sena get something good such a good test scores, and Shin would always there whenever Sena needs him.
Their strange relationship begin on the new year celebration. They met accidentally when Sena was praying on the shrine, he greeted the senior first before Shin turned to pray. After that, they had this awkward talk [not a talk actually, they’re just standing side by side and Sena tried to build conversation which ends as soon as Shin gave him straight answer], then Sena bid him farewell because Mamori called for him. Before Sena could walk any further, Shin pulled the small running back toward him and whispered; “I want to talk later, meet me at Kuromisa river bank…”
Of course Sena came to the river bank after that and was more than speechless when Shin said; “I love you…” then out of nowhere, Takami & Sakuraba appeared, cheering and throwing what seems like sakura petals around them. Sena blinked few times, trying to understand the whole situation before it hits him like Shin’s Trident Tackle. Sena stuttered few times before gave a shy nod as the answer.
Since then, they would meet at the rivar bank and run together after school, of course when they both has no practice. If they had, the one ends first would come to the other’s school. Sena always tried his best no to blush whenever Otawara threw some stupid comments and jokes about him and Shin. At those times, Shin usually hold his hand before quickly running out of school.
Sena enjoyed his times with Shin, it feels good, he need him now, he needs Shin to hold him, to tell him it’s all right, to tell him he would protect him from the evil storm…
And suddenly, he heard this loud knocks from down stairs. The knock becoming louder and louder, it’s probably the wind, Sena thought, but then, if it was the wind, the knocks won’t reach the door. Trembling, he get on his feet then slowly walking down the stairs, it might be his mother or his father or maybe Mamori, or someone from his team.
When he opens the door, he was flushed to the warm body of a stranger-no,not a stranger, he knew this person, he knew this warm feelings. He realized that this person not really warmth since the rain soaked his clothes wet, but still, it’s the warmth radiating from deep inside of him that makes him warm. Sena looked up to see pair of black eyes, staring at him with concern and worry, a wet thumb graced his cheek as he stared back to the person’s eyes, “Shin-san, what are you doing here?”
Shin’s hair is damp wet, his coat is soaking wet, rains running down from his temple, his hairs sticking to his skin, so does his clothes, but he had this smile on his face, a smile that beats the coldness around him. He softly kissed Sena’s temple then whispered something that Sena couldn’t hear because of the storm.
“You better get inside or you could catch a cold, here, I’ll lend you towel to dry yourself!” Sena said, pushing Shin inside before locking the door.
Shin followed Sena to the bathroom, his hand holding Sena’s. Sena handed him the towel then lead him to the living room, “Here, sit over there,”Sena said, pointing to the brown couch, “I’ll make something to drink…”
Sena returned with 2 cups of hot tea, since he doesn’t know how much nutrients Shin had consumed today, he decided to make tea. Even tough Shin had said he’d eat or drink anything Sena makes, he knew it’s his job too to keep Shin’s health. Shin said nothing as he gulped the hot liquid before then he pulled Sena into his embrace, “Sorry, you must be lonely right?”
Sena snuggled into Shin’s warm chest, he’s dry now and warmer than before, “mmm…”
“Sorry,” Shin kissed his hair, breathing on Sena’s scents and muttering apologies.
“No need to apologize Shin-san, did Mamori-nee called you?”Sena asked, tightening his hold around Shin’s strong torso.
“No, she did not. I came here because I’m worried about you.”
Smiling, Sena looks up to see Shin’s soft and affectionate gazes on him, his eyes were gentle and caring. Really, Sena could ask for nothing more as long as he has Shin’s gaze on him, he feels so right, feels so protected, feels so happy. Shin would never let anyone hurt him after all. He remembers when Shin apologized to him about the tackles he had given to Sena on their previous matches and all Sena could do is smiled, saying it’s fine and he understands the reason behind Shin’s actions. Since that day, shin would always apologized if he hurt Sena on the game and such and Sena would smiles, holding Shin’s hand shyly.
Shin’s kindness is actually, almost cannot be find from his action, but from his eyes. His gaze always softened whenever they landed on Sena and hardened whenever his gaze landed on others. The change itself is quite indescribable since Shin seems had this perfect control over his emotion and expression. And Sena is glad that he could tell the differences.
The thunders booming loudly outside but Sena is no longer scared, he had Shin by his side, holding him gently and tightly, protecting him, he had Shin calling his name every minutes, whispering; “I’m here…” to his hairs, and Shin’s warmth is enveloping him. Sena could ask nothing more as his eyes slowly give in to the world of dream land. He could hear Shin said, “Oyasumi…” but he’s way too sleepy to answer, instead, he smiled to Shin’s chest, tightening his hands around the line backer.
He fears nothing as long as Shin’s here, as long as Shin is here, he feels secure, he feels fine, and he feels complete, he feels that he is needed and he feels loved.
