Presidents

Chapter 5 | Names and Rooms
______________________________


Two males from the basketball club are walking towards the school building, discussing things that are not related to club activities, which kind of ticked off the captain.
One of them decided to speak up about the closeness of the school president and the captain. 
"Ne, Captain, you and Kaichou have been hanging out a lot these days. What is your relationship with him?" Kotaro Hayama asked curiously. Akashi walked to a stop and tapped his chin thoughtfully.
"A fellow king." Was his only answer before heading off to the usual spot. Before he entered the room, Kotaro shouted for his name. Akashi growled at him.
"Just gonna remind you that we want to get that extra room. Fight it out with Kaichou, ne?" 
-KHR and KnB-
They sat opposite each other, carefully manoeuvring their pieces to win. After playing chess for a numerous number of times, they decided that if they want to fight for something, they will fight it out using chess. 
"Tsunayoshi, why are you so insistent of calling me Akashi-kun? My name is not that hard to pronounce right?" The redhead recalled. There was never a time when the brunet called him by his name and he does not like it. They are friends already, right? So what's the worry?
The brunet seemed to sense the questions from his opponent as he answers. "I just felt like it. Calling someone by their first name without consent is very rude."
Very well-mannered... "Now I'm giving you permission, so call me by my three-syllable name. Sei-ju-ro. It isn't that hard right?"
Tsunayoshi's face scrunched up in disagreement. "Da-me. However, this is not the only purpose for the game, right?" Akashi smirked at the sharpness of the brunet.
"I would like you to give us that room, Kaichou." Akashi-kun, there are so many rooms. Define it, please...
Tsunayoshi rubbed his temples. "Which room?"
"The one every club is competing on. It's the talk of the school that the student head refuses to give that room to any club despite all reasons." Akashi taunted the brunet. Said head groaned at the emphasis of the word 'all'. It's not that he is unwilling to rent out the room, it's that...
Why does everyone want to compete for that room anyway... Tsunayoshi sighed louder. Other than it is located at a very good spot in school, what else can be of use to it? He looked up at the redhead and saw him grinning from ear to ear. He sighed. Not to mention, because of this particular room, his paperwork in the office skyrocketed. Maybe not as much as back in the HQ but hating paperwork is more than enough reason to hate this one as well.
Seeing that prideful face of the basketball captain, "I'll give you the room if you win..." Tsunayoshi gave in.
"And?" Akashi moved closer to hear the statement he wants. Tsunayoshi sent him a quizzical eye before the answer struck him. He could not help but smack himself. 
"I'll call you by your name as well... Gee, you're very pushy you know?"
Akashi puffed up his chest. "I'm glad you know."
"Sei-chan! We're here to watch you!" A loud yet girly low voice spoke as the door slides open unceremoniously. Tsunayoshi peeped over the red head's shoulder and waved at the newcomers. Ignoring all protests from his friend, he climbed out of his chair and ushered the others somewhere to sit in the paper-cluttered room, pouring four cups of untouched green tea (despite it being Akashi's) for them to drink while waiting. "Ano... Minna-san, the game would take a while so please wait for a little more. I'll release him,"
"More like I will," Akashi snorted. 
"For club activities as soon as the game is over." Tsuna finished, glaring at the emperor for interrupting. Said emperor shrugged and fiddled with his white bishop. The other one was taken by Tsunayoshi as soon as he moved it onto the battlefield. The regulars pushed their chairs slightly closer to the table just to see what the two are doing. 
"Call me Seijuro," the redhead continued the petty fight. His teammates stared at him, blank. "No," Tsuna replied, causing the audience to snicker. 
"It's just three syllables!"
"Never," shake the head. 
"Call me Seijuro," Akashi said as he saw a careless move by his friend. 
"Why should I?"
"Because it's checkmate." Akashi declared as he slammed his queen piece right beside the king. "And give us the room." He smirked. His teammates sighed at their captain's childish act. 
Tsuna sighed with them and approved. "You're pushy, you know?"
"You said it before, Kaichou."

Presidents Chapter 16 | Exposed ________________________ Seijuuro, I'm coming back today. Please make sure everything is prim and tidy at the school council room. Uh... wait, don't bother about the cleanliness, I'm sure it's clean already. I'll just come tomorrow and surprise the council members. Empty the courts for me when I arrive? Oh, and help me manage the papers, thanks. Nights, Seijuuro~ -Tsunayoshi Akashi clicked his tongue and shoved the phone back into his pocket. How Tsunayoshi phrased the message was childish and completely unnecessary. He knew that the brunet/blond head would come in late when there is nobody outside the school building. Finally, no one bosses him around!  "I'm leaving for school!" He said to no one in particular, slinging his jacket over his shoulders. He fished out his phone again and replied.  Whatever, I hope you've matured to come back. -Seijuuro Tsunayoshi chuckled at the message. Seijuuro ...

Presidents Chapter 1 | Permission __________________________________ It was raining. Pouring, to be exact. Thunders clashed while the wind howled. The droplets of rain beat against the enforced glass, creating an unsynchronised orchestra of sounds. There was only one person sitting in class, a chessboard in front of him. The table next to him was stacked with many other board games, ready to be played. The one lying on the top was his favourite game. He planned to play it after he finished his chess game. The sound of wood clicking against each other resonated through the room. Those outside would walk past the classroom as soon as they sighted the bright red hair in the room. This has allowed the redhead to play peacefully. He loves to play them alone. It helps him strategize and kill his boredom. Everything in his life was successful. His studies were very advanced so he always found classes boring. However, he just listened to refresh his memory. "Isn't ...

Presidents Chapter 27 | Chance _______________________ "So... we're waiting for Seirin to arrive for the practise match right?" "Yup!" "And tell me why are we in the cold with this huge attractive banner that says 'Welcome Seirin', Mibuchi -senpai?" "Hmm... Beats me, Tsuna-kun. Sei-chan told me to stand here with you so here I am!" The third year spread out his arms and tilted his body to the right and made a soft and light ' jjang ' sound. Tsuna could not help but chuckle at his senior. "Did he say when would they arrive?" Mibuchi hummed a little before checking his watch. "He did say that they should reach around two. So they should be appearing pretty soon." The brunet puffed his cheeks and blew his fringe in annoyance, being unable to take another second in the biting winds. The sun bearing down on them was no help either and he recalled that the stated temperature was about 0 degree Celsius (32 Fahre...
