Disclaimer: I WANT TO CLAIM THIS PAIRING.
Summary: Puppy Love in the countryside. Hikami style, lol.
A/N:I was too lazy to sign out. IDEK. Totally random. You can totally tell this was un-edited.



Hikaru squints his eyes as his pedals faster, sweat swept away in the wind, the wind cuts through him, the sun glares and hides in the trees that he passes by so quickly. Everywhere he goes, he hears the cicadas sing. His school bag clatters inside the basket in front of his bicycle.

The road to school wasn't exactly how he imagined it would be. When he was still a middle-schooler, he went home early just to ride this route and see how it would be, and at that time it was still a lot more smooth, that was when the mayor issued a decree to pave the way using high-grade cement. But now, the election happened and the new mayor ordered for the construction to stop, to build a new kindergarten instead, and now the road was bumpy again.

But, that didn't exactly matter right now.

Because, he was running late.

Forty-five minutes late, to be specific.

If this were Tokyo, it wouldn't have been a big deal. Everyone skips school in Tokyo. But, this wasn't Tokyo. This was Iwafune. Ask any person in Tokyo and they'd probably answer it was somewhere in the countryside. Which was right. But, that didn't matter, damn it. He was late. Being late in the countryside is as controversial as hooking up with someone in the teacher's lounge when you're in Tokyo.

AND FORTY-SEVEN MINUTES LATE, AT THAT!

Hikaru pedalled harder, racing through the rice fields, the power lines as tall as three-story buildings, coming and going, wet tall grass, coming and going. Just a little more, and he was there.

Then, he slowed down and turned right when he reached the ditch at the end of the field, and pedaled again. He crossed a bridge. That bridge where he first peed publicly when he was eight and turned right again, uphill.

He made a note to kill whoever built this school on top of a hill. It was not a very wise idea.

***

When he finally got to class, it was already fourth period. And he had a bloody nose, a scratch on his face and a cut on his right arm and leg.

Inoo gave a worried look.

"Hikaru-kun! What happened?!"

Hikaru cringed. Great. A Monday morning and he gets a couple of bruises and an annoying she-man worrying over him.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Come on, tell me! You can trust me! I'm your friend, remember?"

"God, Inoo. Last time I trusted you to keep quiet about an embarrassing secret, the whole school knew about it! They even bought me new Hello Kitty stuff just because of it!"

"But, it was funny! Who would have thought you-"

"JUST, NO, INOO! NO!" Hikaru sat down on his seat and hissed as he bent his right leg. Inoo tilted his head and pouted, he poked Hikaru's arm with his pointer finger.

"Hikaru-kun."

Hikaru glares at the blackboard in front of him.

"Hikaru-kun~" Poke.

Hikaru glares.

"Hikaru-kuuuun~!" Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke.

Hikaru grits his teeth.

"Hikaru-kun!" Pokepokepokepokepoke.

Hikaru shuts his eyes and covers his ears.

Inoo pouts harder and pokes more persistently.

"Hikari-chan!"

"OKAY, OKAY I'LL TELL YOU, JUST SHUT UP! AND DON'T CALL ME THAT"

Inoo smirks triumphantly.

"I was running late because I had to tape three episodes of Anpanman last night. And they just happened to be those lengthy two-hour specials, so I lasted up until two in the morning just because of them! When I woke up, it was seven and school starts at eight and biking from my house up to school took at least an hour, so I already was running late the moment I woke up!"

Inoo nods fervently.

"So I biked and biked and pedaled and pedaled and when I reached school, It was 8:50! And on top of that, the gates were closed and I had this bike to take care of! I parked the bike outside and climbed the gate. When I got on top, I suddenly slipped. That's how I got these." He showed his bruises.

Inoo sulks.

Hikaru sighs.

"But, I just texted you a while ago that I didn't need those Anpanman episodes anymore!"

"Fuck you, Inoo."

***

Hikaru limps his way into the track field.

He stares at the people, on their marks and at the empty tracks that will be stepped on a few seconds after. He looks over to the women's area and sees the same scene. The sky gives a whiff a fresh air and the whistle sounds off. Feet take off and pound in the dirt. Hikaru tears his eyes away and sits on a bench.

Just when he's decided to join this club, he gets a cut on his leg. His good leg.

Hikaru curses and bends his leg slightly. And curses again because it hurts.

"Are you okay?"

He doesn't even look when he answers "Not really" lazily, with a tone of annoyance in his voice.

Then, he looks up and sees a girl.

What was a -girl- doing here? This was the Men's Track Team! Or was she-

"-The manager?"

"Oh, yes, I am. I'm the new manager. Since- the old one graduated last year. I'm Yajima. I'm a First-Year. Nice to meet you."

"Ohh.. I'm Yaotome. I'm a First-Year, too."

They shake hands and she smiles at him. He smiles back, smiling that.. smile he uses when he's amused.

"I see you're hurt."

It takes a while for her words to register inside his mind. He was too busy staring at her manicured hands. When he gets them, he stutters.

"Oh, yeah-yeah.. you're r-right. I'm hurt, it's-it hurts, yes."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay! Don't worry about me."

"Have you gone to the Nurse's Office? That could get infected if you don't treat it right away!"

"I had it treated this mornin-"

At that moment, a cocky senior called Takaki Yuya notices them as he passes by.

"Get a room, First Years!"

A couple of guys laugh. Hikaru looks like he wants to punch someone. Yajima ignores them.

"I'll accompany you to the Nurse's Office, if you want."

"Oh, I'd rather not. I'll only be bothering you-"

"No, I insist!"

Yajima holds his shoulder and helps him up. Hikaru feels hot and dizzy all of a sudden. He likes to think it was because of his bruises, and not because of Yajima.

A whistle breaks into the air, runners take off at full speed. Hikaru trips on his own foot and Yajima catches him just in time.

He can hear the footsteps crunching down on the earth.

But, all he can see are those soft eyes looking down on him.

"Yaotome-kun?!"

Hikaru can feel his heart race as fast as those runners.

The next few seconds, all of his senses are non-existent with the exception of touch.

Because, he's not sure how- but he somehow ended up kissing Yajima holding him in her arms, in an awkward position, in the track field on the fourth day of school.
