[sinnatious]

By Sinnatious

Summary: When Ryoma finds himself in a tough situation, his pride might keep him swimming, but it’s Tezuka who keeps his head above water.

Rating: PG-13

Author’s Note: This chapter was a rather difficult one to write. I wasn’t entirely happy with Ryuuzaki-sensei, but hopefully it came out okay.

Anyone will pant after sprinting, no matter how fit, even if they can jog for a long time without breaking a sweat. And there would be some distance from the courts to the student council room I assume, including sets of stairs. I did it like that to emphasize the urgency. And maybe just a little bit for hot panting Fuji.

I admittedly didn't research the law that thoroughly, but based on hearsay with people who have dealt with runaways as well as people who have dealt with family services, it is a bit of a loophole. If a child is above a certain age the rules change, but it's this loophole that allows runaways girls to go live with their boyfriends for months even when their family wants them back. Again, this is based on the Australian legal system - Japan, Canada or America might be different. It's all very contextual. In any case, I don't wish to read tomes of legal gibberish just for a few points of a fanfic. Family services can be a bit retarded sometimes - ineffectual for the people who need it, and completely overbearing for the people who don't.

P.S.2. Not much to tell, I'm afraid. :P All very routine and boring.
