Rin gawked in awe.

He had never seen a house so big in his life!

Why one person needed a house so big was beyond him, but the luxury of being able to stay in something like this must have been wonderful. Growing up in the poor side of Southern Cross, Rin didn't have much. Bon could see that in the way that he eyed everything with such big, wandering eyes.

Just like a kid.

"Rin?"

"Hm?"

"Why don't you come inside now?"

"Oh, right. Sorry."

Rin went inside and immediately felt out of place. Everything from the carpet on the floor to the flat screen TV on the wall looked wayyy expensive. He looked down at the floor, scared that if he breathed to hard, he might break something. Sparry shoes came into view and Rin felt his head bump into something. He looked up and was met with Bon's face, which happened to be very close.

So close that he could feel Bon's breath on his lips.

He backed up and covered his face to hide his blush. Bon raised a brow in curiosity and slight worry. Had this kid been abused or something? He's so jumpy about everything. "You okay, Rin? You're kinda jumpy...a lot." He said. Rin nodded. "I've...never seen stuff like this before and I don't wanna ruin anything." He admitted. Bon rolled his eyes and grabbed Rin by his wrist, practically dragging him up the hall. "Nonsense. If you break anything then I'll just buy a new one." He said. Rin was pulled into a bedroom; probably the biggest bedroom he'd ever seen in his life!

There was a huge flat screen in the room where a Playstation 4 sat on the floor with about 4 navy blue beanbags and controllers around it. On the opposite side of the room facing the large TV was a California King sized bed with navy blue bedding. Pictures of Bon and what seemed to be family and friends were scattered over the off-white walls and a mini fridge was tucked away in a corner near the closet. Oh and that closet! It was a walk-in closet! Like seriously, where does this kid get all of this money from? Oak dressers and wood flooring? This was expensive stuff!

"I don't think I've properly introduced myself. My name is Ryuji Suguro. I'm a student at TCU, too." Bon said as he dug through his dresser from something. Rin perked up, recognizing the name from somewhere.

"Oh! You're that hot quarterback that everyone talks abo--oh my lord, please forget that I said anything."

Rin face palmed. Telling the quarterback that you think he's hot? Way to embarrass yourself.

Bon looked up at him and smiled. "Did you say I was hot?" He asked, setting a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top on the bed and sitting down next to Rin, wiggling his eyebrows. Rin looked in the opposite direction and crossed his arms. "I just said that I heard about you, that's all." He said. Bon shook Rin's arm to try and get him to look at him.

"Do you think that I'm hot?"

Rin stiffened up and looked at Bon, who was waiting patiently for his answer. "Are you screwing with me or what? It's not funny." He said. Bon furrowed his brows and shook his head. "No, I'm being serious! I wanna know if you think I'm hot." He said.

"Why?"

"Cus maybe I think you're hot."

Rin stammered, standing up crossing his arms over his chest again.

"You don't even know me."

"Yet you're standing in my bedroom. Besides, I can get to know you."

"You don't wanna do that, trust me."

Bon was confused now. Was playing hard to get or was he really that insecure? "Why not? I like you so far. You're so sweet and funny...and really cute." He argued. Rin's arms slowly retracted as Bon spoke, turning to look at the quarterback in shock. Did he really mean that?

"I'm just some poor kid from Southern Cross without anything to his name. Nobody likes me..."

"Why, because you're gay? Rin, sweetie, I'm flirting with you. I want you to be gay."

Rin blushed and stomped in frustration. "No! It's because I'm poor, you twit. And...I don't really get good grades." He said. Bon sat there and just blinked at Rin for a few moments, making Rin even more nervous.

"Why should I care that your family doesn't have much? That's not something that you can control. And I'm sure your lacking grades has something to do with all of the stress and pressure that you get put under. But I can help."

"How?"

Bon smiled and stood up from the bed, handing the clothes to Rin. "Just trust me. I've got you." He promised. Rin couldn't help but feel like a giddy school girl at the smile Bon gave him, taking the clothes from the brunette and covering his mouth to hide the smile that spread across his face as he nodded. Bon leaned down and pulled Rin's hand away to see the cute little dimples in his cheeks.

"Don't hide your smile. I like it a lot better than watching you cry." He said. Rin blushed harder, his grin spreading as he locked his gaze with the floor. Bon tapped Rin's chin with his index finger and turned to leave the room. "You can use my bathroom. Shower for as long as you like." He said, going into the kitchen once he closed the door behind him.

Once Rin got over how awesome Bon's bathroom was, he took a long, hot shower and got dressed in the clothing that Bon lended him. They were a bit large but nothing that the drawstring couldn't fix. He sighed, wiping the fog from the mirror and staring at himself for a moment.

"Hey. You alive in there? I ordered a few pizzas if you're hungry."

Rin opened the door and was met by the sight of a shirtless Bon, clad in black sweatpants. There was a tribal tattoo on his shoulder and collarbone that made him one thousand times more sexy than he already was. He must have noticed Rin's stare, he used his thumb and index finger to tilt Rin's head up. "My face is up here, sweetness." He said with a devious smirk. Rin shut his mouth and cleared his throat.

"Right. You were saying something about pizza?"

#

"Whyyy did you get so many?"

Ten pizzas. There were ten pizzas sitting on the coffee table in the living room. Who could eat all of that at one time?

"I eat a lot. Anyways, you wanna watch a movie or something?" Bon answered. Rin smiled and nodded, taking a seat on the couch and grabbing the closest box of pizza near him. "You can choose. I'm down for whatever." He said, taking a bite out of his first slice of pepperoni. Bon sat down next to Rin and turned on Netflix.

"Paranormal Activity? The Marked Ones?"

"What? You scared?"

"Tch. No."

Yes. The answer was yes.

Nine boxes of pizza and 30 minutes into the movie later, Bon was holding in laughter as Rin clutched at his arm, curled into him like frightened child.

Another jump scare.

Rin screamed and jumped into Bon's lap, wrapping his arms around the quarterback's neck. "Turn it off, dammit!" He cried, stuffing his face into Bon's neck to hide from the screen. Bon couldn't help it anymore and burst into laughter, tears falling from his eyes as he turned the movie off. "Oh shit, you should have seen the look on your face! Fucking aye, that was funny." He laughed, finally calming his laughter. When he looked at Rin, the ravenette had angry arms crossed over his chest and a glare shot into Bon's direction.

"That's not fucking funny! Screw this, I'm going home."

Rin got up and slid his converse sneakers on, headed for the door when Bon jumped up and grabbed him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Come on, I'm sorry. It's like 1 AM, please don't leave. I'm sorry I laughed, I shouldn't have done that."

"It was mean and unnecessary."

"Yes it was and from the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry. Forgive me?"

Rin glared at Bon for a few more seconds before kicking his shoes back off and headed back to the couch. "I'm just gonna go to bed now." He said. Bon sighed and reached into the hall closet, handing him a blanket and a pillow. He figured he'd just dispose of the boxes in the morning.

"Goodnight, Rin."

He flicked off the hall light.

"Um, Bon?"

Bon peeks around the corner at Rin with a raised brow.

"I'm...kinda scared."

Bon sighs, smiling sweetly at Rin even though he knows Rin can't see it.

"Well...you could always come and sleep in my bed...with me."

He could practically feel the heat radiating from Rin's blush.

"No funny business?"

"No funny business. C'mon."

Rin hopped up from the couch, carefully feeling around the wall until he felt the skin of Bon's arm on his fingertips. Bon instinctively wrapped his arm around Rin's waist, leading him back into his bedroom. He let Rin climb in first and followed behind him, making sure not to touch Rin as to make him uncomfortable. It was silent for a moment before Rin spoke again.

"...Bon?"

"Yeah, sweetheart?"

"You can...hold me...if you want."

An invitation he surely wouldn't give up. He draped his arm over Rin's small body and pulled him closer. He buried his face into the back of Rin's neck and breathed in the scent of his shampoo, falling asleep soon after.

This kid was really doing something to him!
