Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
The bell rang for the end of school and Ryutaro had barely finished packing his bag when Yuuto rushed into his classroom.
"Ryutaro! Big trouble! Hurry!" And before Ryutaro even had time to formulate a question, Yuuto had grabbed his arm and was pulling up to where the third years classes were held.
"Yuuto! What the hell?!" Ryutaro snapped at him once the older boy had stopped trying to pull his arms off his sockets.
"You won't believe it!" Yuuto was waving his arms frantically as they stood outside class 3A. "Yama-chan...Yama-chan....he....he..." Yuuto's gestures became even wider.
Raising an eyebrow, Ryutaro opened the door and went in, looking for the said boy who was, to his surprise, curled up in a fetal position at the darkest corner of the room. Turning to Yuuto, Ryutaro waited for an explanation.
"Yama-chan lost to Chinen!" Yuuto announced dramatically. Eyes widened, Ryutaro looked over at the emo boy in the corner once more. It may be his imagination, but it seemed Yamada had just huddled himself even further at Yuuto's words.
"Yuuto-kun, you don't need to say that so loudly." Chinen came up and pulled on Yuuto's arms desperately to calm him down. "Yamada-kun's already been harassed enough in class..."
"Seriously, Yamada? You lost to Chinen?!" Ryutaro evidently did not hear Chinen as he sauntered over to rub the loss in Yamada's face.
At Ryutaro's voice, Yamada seemed to wake up slightly. "Oh shut it, Ryutaro. You don't get the right to talk, since you've never beaten me anyways."
Before Ryutaro could retort, he felt someone's soft touch on his arm and he turned his head to see Chinen looking at him with imploring eyes. His insides felt like they melted, and suddenly, teasing Yamada didn't seem as important as it had been a moment ago. Rather, he just wanted Chinen to stop staring at him so sadly.
"Don't make fun of him, Ryutaro-kun. Besides, it's only 1 point. It's not really that big of a difference," Chinen chided him and Ryutaro suddenly felt as though he was the bad guy here.
"I know, but..." Ryutaro's voice trailed off. For some reason, he couldn't think of something to say against Chinen's words.
Ignoring him, Chinen crouched down next to Yamada and cautiously poked him. "Y-yamada-kun? Cheer up, it's only one test. It won't be the end of the world. A difference of one doesn't really make me that much smarter than you."
Yamada's eyes flashed something unreadable and Ryutaro thought his short-temper might snap, but when the chubby boy saw Chinen's genuine sincerity, he seemed to think better of it and instead, nodded quietly. "What about the deal then?"
Chinen blinked at him and Ryutaro was hit with the thought that the smaller boy looked really cute when he was confused. "D-deal? What deal?"
Yuuto looked back and forth between the two of them, following the conversation intently. "There's a deal involved?"
Yamada frowned, ignoring Yuuto. He was starting to look less emo and more like his normal self now. "Don't play dumb. The deal we made at lunch." He reached his arm out and poked Chinen on the forehead. "Dude, remember? If you beat me, I have to do whatever you tell me. So...what am I supposed to do?"
"Oh...umm....err...a-about that..." Chinen stood up and gestured that Yamada should follow him. When Yuuto and Ryutaro began to follow them, Chinen turned around, planting himself in the doorway. "I-I would rather talk to Yamada-kun alone, if you don't mind."
Ryutaro frowned, wondering what possible reason could Chinen have for wanting such privacy with Yamada. He wanted to know what kind of torment Yamada would be forced to go through!
Unfortunately, Yuuto spoke up before he could. "Okay sure, go ahead. We'll see you tomorrow then." The tall boy grabbed both his own bag and Ryutaro's, essentially forcing the younger boy to follow him out.
"Yuuto, wait! Aren't we-?"
"Going to spy on them? Heck yes!" Yuuto ducked behind the corner and crouched like a predator, waiting. Ryutaro imitated him, and when a minute had past, the two of them snuck back to the opened door of the classroom, carefully peeking inside.

"So...why did you want it to be just us two?" Yamada asked him, sounding a bit annoyed.
"I-I did't want to do it in front of others." Chinen admitted quietly. "C-cuz it would be...e-embarrassing." He added in an even softer voice.
Yamada blinked at him. Now he looked mystified. Chinen pointed at his chair requested, "Can you close your eyes and sit down?" His face was probably bright red by now, but at this point, he didn't care.
Raising an eyebrow, Yamada did as he was told and waited. Taking a deep breath, Chinen gathered his courage and plopped himself onto Yamada's lap, half expecting to be pushed off instantly.
Instead, all he felt was Yamada's body jolting with surprise. "What the-?"
Chinen kept his head down, unable to meet Yamada's. His heart was pounding hard in his chest with fear and hope. Eventually, Chinen started to get worried. Yamada still hadn't said a word yet. In fact, he hadn't even moved yet. Was something wrong?
"I l-like sitting on people's laps..." Chinen mumbled as a sort of explanation, but it sounded weak to his ears. "And..."
"You just wanted to sit on my lap?" Yamada finally spoke and his tone sounded incredulous.
Wordlessly, Chinen nodded, expecting to be made fun of or at least laughed at. Yamada leaned back against the bench, asking with a sigh, "Anything else?"
"Eh?" Chinen snapped his head around to look at the older boy, unsure he'd heard correctly.
"Other than sitting on my lap, anything else you wanted to do?" Now Yamada had moved forward again, and his face was far, far too close to Chinen's.
"Uhh...err..." It was as though his mind had gone numb and he couldn't string together a comprehensive thought. Unable to think straight, Chinen blurted out a random request. "C-could you p-put your arms around m-my waist?"
After a short pause that seemed to last forever, Yamada nodded. "Sure, why not?" He complied and his arms pressed comfortably against Chinen's small body. "Do you want me to ask you out on a date while we're at it?"
"Ehhh?!" Chinen's eyes grew huge at the suggestion as all the blood rushed up to his face.
Laughing, Yamada ruffled his hair with a certain amount of affection. "I'm kidding, stop freaking out." Chinen's heart skipped a few beats when Yamada patted his head. Then the older boy's face grew serious again. "Just this once. You're only sitting on my lap just this once, understand?"
"O-okay." Chinen still felt off balance from the question Yamada had thrown at him so he chose to settle himself against the other boy. If this was his only chance to sit on Yamada's lap, then he might as well make the best of it.
