COMFORT
by Halrloprillalar - hal@prillalar.com

"I ... I can't believe it." Momo leaned against the wall, his arm
covering his eyes.

"There was a 62% chance that Echizen and Kaidoh would get
together," Inui said. "But I admit, I thought I could prevent it."

"Inui-senpai!" Momo dropped his arm and stared. "What are you doing
here?"

"Following Kaidoh," Inui said, holding up a notebook. "And you?"

"I thought Echizen might want to play tennis," Momo said. "And then
I saw *them* doing *that*." Tears welled up in his eyes and spilled
down over his cheeks.

Inui sighed. "Don't cry, Momoshiro," he said, although he was very
close to crying himself. "There's a 74% chance that their
relationship won't last more than two weeks."

Momo sniffled. "Do you think so?"

"Of course," Inui said. "I've made the calculations very carefully,
based on their personalities." He put his arm around Momo's
shoulders. "So please cheer up." But Momo just cried harder and now
he had his face buried in Inui's chest, getting Inui's shirt all
wet.

Inui rubbed Momo's back. In fact, it helped Inui a little to know
that someone else shared his grief over the situation. And it was
comforting to have Momo's arms around him.

"It's just not fair!" Momo said and looked up at Inui. Inui looked
down at Momo.

Five seconds later, Momo's back was against the wall and they were
kissing. Inui thought it wasn't as good as kissing Kaidoh would
surely be, but it was pretty damn good all the same.

And then they were on the ground and pulling at each other's
clothing. And then Momo was making strangled sounds in the back of
his throat and Inui was trying to remember the diagrams in that
book he had at home.

And then they were done.

Inui wiped sweat off his forehead. Momo was leaning against him and
they were both breathing hard. "Momoshiro," Inui said.

"Yes?"

"I have a plan how we can break them up."

"Can I help?" Momo said.

"Of course," Inui said. "We'll be able to separate them and
manoeuvre them so that I can get Kaidoh and you can get Echizen."

Momo sat up straight. "Echizen?" he said.

Things grew chilly after that.
