Rin dragged his feet down the halls of TCU, headed towards his criminal psychology class. It was Monday again and oh the places he'd rather be.

Like at Bon's house.

He hadn't seen him since he slipped out of his arms Saturday morning and went home to Yukio. Yukio of course nearly had a heart attack and apologized to his brother after scolding him like their mother used to. They really missed their parents.

They should go visit soon.

Anyways, as much as he hated to admit that he missed Bon, he would rather not see him again. He had embarrassed himself so much for a first impression that he didn't know what he would say when he saw the quarterback again. "Sorry I left without saying anything but even though we didn't have sex, I'm not ready for this"? Jesus, he sounded like a girl. Rin Okumura was not a complicator.

Nope.

"Riiiin!"

He turned to see his blonde best friend, Shiemi, running down the hall towards him, waving frantically. He smiled as she lost her footing and tumbled forward, only for him to catch her before she hit the ground. "You're such a klutz, Shiemi." He laughed. She smiled at him and brushed herself off. "Yeah, I know. Yuki told me that you went missing Friday night. Where were you? We worried about you." She said. He stiffened, chewing on his bottom lip in contemplation.

Should he tell her? Maybe she wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

"He was with me."

Holy shit.

Rin nearly had a panic attack when he heard the deep, gruff voice of Bon behind him. Shiemi looked at him in confusion and then looked back at Rin with furrowed brows. "You were with Suguro? Why?" She asked. Rin stammered, lost for words as Bon wrapped an arm around Rin's shoulder. "We're good friends. Right, Rin?" He said, winking at the ravenette where Shiemi could see. Rin gave a nervous laugh and scratched his head. "I-I-I...um...yeah. Shiemi this is...u-uh...Ryuji. I kinda stayed the night at his house." He explained. Shiemi gave a questioning stare at the two, taking note of the thick blush coating Rin's cheeks.

"Are you two having sex?"

"DEAR GOD, NO!" Rin screamed louder than intended. He got a few strange looks from other students in the hallway before forcing himself to turn the volume of his voice down. "Look, I have to get to class. I'll text you, okay Shiemi?" He said. Shiemi nodded, smiling and waving goodbye as she headed to her pre-med class that she took with Yukio.

"I'm walking you to class. I need to talk to you."

Rin nodded and began walking, Bon's arm never leaving his shoulder. "So what was up with that? You just get up and leave? No goodbye, not even a phone number?" Bon asked. Rin swallowed the lump in his throat before answering.

"I didn't know that you cared."

Bon smirked. "Oh, you're not shy anymore, huh? Well, I do care actually. So how about you give me your number and I call it even." He suggested. Rin held out his hand and Bon gave him his cell phone, watching as Rin saved his number inside of it. "There. Are you happy now?" He asked. Bon smiled but shook his head.

"Nah. I'll be happy when you come to my practice tonight. How about it? We can go hang out afterwards."

"If I say no?"

"I'll just pester you until you say yes. Is it that hard to believe that I really like you?"

"Nearly impossible I'd say. I've heard about how much of a whore you are."

Bon stopped in his tracks and pulled Rin around the corner. His face had gone from happy and giddy to hard and slightly angry. "Why would you say that?" He asked. Rin suddenly felt cornered. Maybe he shouldn't have said that. "These girls brag about getting into your pants. It's like winning a trophy or something. I mean...I really want to like you but I'm not going to compete with people." He said. Bon was silent, staring into Rin's eyes. His face softened and he loosened his grip on Rin.

"Alright. So I've been around the block a few times, but I never gave those girls the time of day. Never took the time to know their names or watch movies with them or order them pizza...not to hold them or let them stay night...or even to fantasize about them."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying that if you give me a chance, I can show you how much different you are than them. Andddd maybe you could be something more than my friend?"

Rin cocked an eyebrow up at him and Bon sighed.

"Too soon?"

"Way too soon."

He grinned and puckered his lips, kissing Rin on his forehead. Rin immediately melted under his lips, sinking to the floor. Bon pulled him up and leaned him up against the wall. "Still denying that you want me?" He asked. Rin shoved his chest and pushed him back slightly. "Shut up, you just caught me off guard. Anyway I really need to get to class." He said. He really wasn't kidding, he needed to get to class or Yukio would have his head.

"Alright, sweetness. You're coming to my practice game tonight, right?"

"Yes, Bon."

"Great. See you tonight."

#

His classes went by fairly quickly that day, which surprised him at the most. They were usually very long and drug out, but he was actually...enthusiastic about class! Amazing, right? Bon just had that affect on him.

Bon...

No, he liked his first name better. Ryuji. He would call him that from now on. The thought of it just made him smile. Oh, and that kiss. Even though it was such a small gesture, it made him feel like....he was a different person.

Like he actually was a person.

Rin's cell phone buzzed and he flipped it open.

656-876-4321:
Hey sweetness.

Of course it was Bon.

Rin: Hello Ryuji.

656-876-4321: Make sure you save my number. And do this favor for me, please.

Rin rolled his eyes, but obliged no less.

Rin: Okay, what's the favor?

656-876-4321: My car is unlocked. Go out to it and grab my home jersey so that you can wear it tonight. Nobody's gonna mess with you while you're wearing that.

And by 'someone' he could only guess that he meant Reiji Shiratori.

Rin: okay :) I'm coming as soon as I grab it. See you in a little while.

Rin didn't have a problem finding the jersey. It was a royal blue jersey with the numbers 03 on it in white. The name 'SUGURO' was on the back as well. It was a bit large, but it made him proud to wear it. I mean come on, who had the privilege of being the quarterback's boyfriend?

Right...not him. He wasn't gonna give in that easily.

But he would let himself indulge in the idea of it. The grin on his face never left as he watched Bon bob and weave through the football field, running the football and earning a touchdown.

The whistle blew and both teams took off their helmets, high giving each other. Bon turned to the bleachers and grinned when he saw Rin sitting there in his jersey. He jogged over to the bleachers, catching the attention of his teammates as he met Rin at the bottom of the bleachers.

Reiji Shiratori's in particular.

"Well who's that sexy little thing wearing that number 03 jersey?" Bon joked as he wrapped his arms around Rin's waist and pulled him up to eye level. Rin wrapped his arms around Bon's neck so he wouldn't fall. "Hey, watch it. You're gonna break something." Rin laughed. Bon smiled at the smaller man. "It's not my fault that you're anorexic. I'm gonna spoil you rotten and put some meat on your bones." He said. Rin blushed.

"Spoil me?"

"Anything you want. A new car. New clothes. I'll get you an elephant if you want it."

"Hahaha and what am I gonna do with an elephant, Ryuji?"

"Ride it to school? I don't know, babe. I just know that I wanna give you everything you want and need." Bon answered. Rin's face turned red up to the tips of his ears. Spoil him? Did he really have the nerve to say no to that?

"Maybe we could start with a date first."

Bon's eyes widened with excitement and he sat Rin down on the ground. "Serious? You'll go out with me?" He asked. Rin nodded and Bon did a fist pump in victory.

"You're not going out with him."

Both Rin and Bon turned to face Reiji Shiratori. Bon glared at the snow-headed lad and sized him up. "And who the hell are you to tell him that?" He asked. Shiratori growled and grabbed Rin's wrist, pulling the unwilling ravenette into his chest. "Because his ass belongs to me." He smacked Rin's ass and groped him before smirking at Bon.

Bad idea.

Bon charged and tackled Shiratori to the ground, punching him in the face repeatedly. Shima and Amaimon both dropped their helmets in order to run and pull Bon off of the idiot.

"Bon, chill!"

"Suguro, cut it out!"

Bon struggled in their grip before shaking them off. He towered over Shiratori to start wailing on him again, but Rin moved in front of him. "Move, Rin." He growled. Rin shook his head. "Bon, let's just go. Misery loves company." He said.

"Just let me hit him ONE FUCKING TIME!"

"Ryuji, stop it! Let's just go, okay? I'm hungry and I wanna go now."

Rin knew that if he told Bon he wanted to leave, he would leave. Bon growled, picking up his helmet and wrapping his arm back around Rin.

"He touches you again and I will end his life. You understand?"

"Yes, I understand. Can we please go now? You're scaring me."

"Yeah. Sorry babe."

"It's okay."

Bon started towards the parking lot with Rin in tow, leaving Shima and Amaimon to pull and unconscious Shiratori from the field.

"Next time, don't mess with Suguro's bitch. I hate cleaning up these messes."

"Well said Amaimon."
