Chapter One

Ren was fighting with soon to be ex-boyfriend. He was almost in tears when he walked off and into the stadium. He ran his hand through his black and red hair, sighed, and sat down next to Shotaru. He sank in his seat and wiped his face. He saw the Shoushukan High School team. He smiled and walked out, and went to switch schools. He was waiting, and once he got accepted, he got his uniform and went to his orientation. He loved it so far. He had his tattoos on his hand covered with makeup. He smiled happily. He heard the guys trying to get new members he walked up. "I will join," he said and smiled. "No way it's Ren Yamaguchi." the captain said. "Come, let's get the paperwork all filled out," they said, pulling him away. He smiled. Once at the club office, he was doing the paperwork when Shotaru walked in.

"May I join?" he asks. Shichigahama smiled and brought him in. "We have six and a Star Ren," he said. Ren rubbed the back of his neck and smiled. "oh, we have dorms," the captain said. Ren nods. "That is fine. I kinda have nowhere to go, so a dorm sounds nice," he said. Onagawa smiled and took them. "So you and Shotaru will be sharing a room," he said. Ren nods, walks in, and starts to unpack. "Showers," he asks. He points and walks off.

Ren takes his coat off. He has a tank top on, and Shotaru sees his tattoos. He walks out, and Onagawa stops. "Nice ink," he says. Ren smiled. "Thanks," he said. Watari smiles. "Yeah, dude, nice," he said. Ren went to shower and yawned. He walks into the kitchen in gray sweatpants and sits next to Shotaru, reaches over him, swallows Shotaru, and smells him. "thanks for the food," he said. He eats and helps clean up, and goes to lie down. The following day Ren was helping Shotaru do backflips. "Can you do one," he asked. Ren shrugs and runs and does one. The coach looks. "Do a corkscrew with a back full twist?" he asks. Ren sighs and stretches. He ran and did it with ease. He lands and smiles. Shotaru was amazed he got back to practicing, and soon he got it. Ren smiles and claps. "okay, guys, that is enough for today," the coach said. They go, and Ren goes to the dorm, showers, lies down, rolls over, and covers up. Shotaru looks. "You hungry," he asks. He sat up and got out of bed, and walked out to eat. He was thinking about his ex. He cleaned up his dishes, went back to lie down, and covered up as tears fell. He looked at the name on his wrist he got tattooed. He sniffs and tries to remove it. He picked up a razor and was shaking. He cut his wrist threw the name and bled a lot, and soon passed out. Shoatru yelled for help and tried to stop the bleeding. Shichigahama called for help, moved Shotaru, put a lot of pressure on it, and saw the name. He sighed. "Silly boy," he said and wrapped his wrist. They took him to the hospital. He got put on a watch, rolled over, and cried. Shichigahama walks in. He lied, saying he was his boyfriend. "how long did you guys date" he asked. "Five years," he sniffs. "I walked in on him with the coach. He said it is not what it looks like, and then the next day he told me I was a shitty boyfriend and was bad at sex and bad at everything," he said and got in a ball.

Shichigahama sighed. "I am sorry he hurt you," he said. "I wish there were more I could say, Ren, but you are amazing, and I want you to know that you showed Shotaru how to backflip in one day," he said. Ren rolls to face him. His face was red from crying. Shichigama smiles and wipes his face. "No more. Okay, he doesn't need them. You are a strong young man," he says and smiles. "How did you get to see me," he asks. "I lied and said I was your boyfriend," he said. Ren smiled softly and held out his hand. Shicigahama took his hand, and Ren went to sleep. Shicigahama texted Onagawa to head home. He was fine. Onagawa stood up. "Ren is okay. Let's head home," he said. The team stood up and left. Shotaru was cleaning up the blood with Onagawa and got new sheets and everything. Ren was soon let out. He was walking out and went to the dorm and jumped when they all jumped out, saying welcome back. He laughs. "Thanks, guys," he says. "Watari made so much food," Shotaru said and helped him with his stuff. "Also, you rooming with the captain know," he said. Ren nods and got a plate of food and eats and smiles
