Inui sighed as he looked at the message on his cell phone. He and Eiji had been trying to coordinate a date for later in the week during their lunch breaks which were thankfully at the same time, but it seemed that everyday Inui was guaranteed to have little homework Eiji seemed to have three tests the next day. Deciding that he didn’t want to wait until the weekend to see his boyfriend he sent a text inviting him to come over and work on homework.

Eiji looked down at his phone for what his friends felt was the hundredth time since lunch started. He wanted to agree to the proposed date, but he knew that if he went over to study he would end up doing anything but. At first the little rewards of kisses was enough to get him to focus, but now they were a distraction. When he was with Inui all he could only focus on Inui. There was no way around that. With much regret Eiji sent a reply saying it wouldn’t be a good idea. They would just have to wait until the weekend.

Inui frowned. He really didn’t like the idea of waiting until the weekend. If he skipped last period he could at the very least walk Eiji home and get some time in then. Of course, he wouldn’t tell Eiji that plan since the redhead would certainly object. So instead he sent one last message before the bell rang that he would see Eiji on Saturday. He was sure that this one little visit wouldn’t be enough to satisfy him, but he had a feeling that no amount of time would ever satisfy him.

Eiji nodded to himself as he read the text message confirming they would do something that weekend. He pushed himself off the ground and headed back to his classroom wishing that more of his friends had stayed at Seigaku. Taka-san and Tezuka were still there and the underclassmen were in the junior high division still, but it wasn’t the same. Inui was at a private school that focused on academics. Oishi was all the way at Rikkai and Fuji had transferred to Hyotei! It was thoroughly depressing especially since he didn’t have anyone he could really talk to about his problems with Inui.

Okay, so they weren’t really having problems. They got along perfectly when they were together and they didn’t fight, but they didn’t see each other that often. In junior high they had seen each other every day, but now they were lucky if they saw each other once a week. It was hard and Eiji didn’t really know how to deal with it. All he wanted was to curl up with his boyfriend and relax after school, but his classes had gotten harder and he was determined to keep up the good grades he had finished with at the end of junior high. That meant that he had to study hard every night and make sure he didn’t fall behind in his studies. It was different for him than it was for Inui who just soaked everything up the first time he heard or read it.

Eiji forced himself to drag his attention back to the teacher who was starting class. It was math so he had to pay extra attention to make sure that he didn’t fall behind and understood everything. It was his worst subject after all and he couldn’t let himself be distracted by the text message he knew he’d just gotten.

Inui waited just outside Seigaku’s gates for Eiji to exit. When he did the redhead had his cell phone pressed to his most likely talking to Oishi or Fuji. Inui reached out and caught Eiji’s free hand pulling him up short and up against his chest. Eiji let out a cute little squeak as he looked up at Inui with a surprised look on his face. “Sadaharu!” Inui smiled and pressed their lips together in a soft kiss. “Nya, Fuji, I’ll call you back. Inui’s here!” He hung up after a few seconds and wrapped his arms around Inui’s neck. “How’d you get here so fast?”

Inui wrapped his arms around Eiji’s waist to keep him close. “I skipped last period. I wanted to see you, but since you can’t study with me this was the only thing I could think of. This way I can walk you home.”

Eiji grinned and raised himself onto his toes so that he could press a kiss to Inui’s lips. Usually he wasn’t this affectionate when other people could see them, but he hadn’t seen Inui in two weeks and all he wanted was a kiss. Inui happily obliged him and gave a series of quick kisses before unwrapping his arms from Eiji’s waist. Eiji let go of his boyfriend not at all happy that he was being denied the ability to touch him. He wasn’t sure if Inui just knew or if he saw something in Eiji’s eyes, but he quickly took hold of the acrobat’s hand as they started to walk away from school grounds towards Eiji’s home.

Eiji smiled as he clung to the older teen’s hand. It was like it had been at the end of junior high when Inui had first started walking Eiji home after practice even though it was out of his way. Eiji rested his head against Inui’s shoulder happy to be with him. They didn’t talk much since they talked every night on the phone for at least an hour before they went to bed. When they managed to get together all they really wanted to do was be together. They didn’t feel the need to fill up the silence with noise.

Inui glanced down at Eiji only to notice his boyfriend was biting his lip. “What do you want to say?”

Eiji looked up at him with a smile plastered on his face. “What makes you think I have something to say?”

“You’re biting your lip,” Inui replied bluntly.

Eiji sighed as he brought Inui’s arm around his shoulders. Inui smirked and let go of the acrobat’s hand as he pulled him closer. “Can you stay for awhile? I think it’s okay if I just get the necessities done tonight. I don’t have as much homework as I thought I would.”

Inui placed a kiss on the top of Eiji’s head. “Of course. I’ll call and leave my parents a message so they know not to miss me.”

Eiji smiled and snuggled closer to Inui. “Good, I’m glad” he whispered as they turned to walk up to Eiji’s front door.
