HJP's POV

{Moshi moshi.}

Harry looked at his mobile phone's screen to be sure he had rung the right number.

{Usagi-chan?}

{Harry-kun. Hey, shouldn't you be in the game?}

{I was calling to ask how Tommy-kun was...} he avoided the flirting looks from his teammates and turned away from them. {How's his fever?}

{Practically gone. You can relax and enjoy the game.}

Harry breathed relieved, not even realizing he had held-in his breath.

{Can... can you put him on the phone?}

{Sure.} Usagi left the receiver and Harry heard her move, before the phone's receiver was picked again. "It's Papa, Tommy-kun."

{Papa?}

{[Hey, Tommy. Be a good boy to Auntie, okay?]}

{Hai.} Tommy agreed on his side. {Obāsan.}

Harry frowned only for the phone to be passed along.

{Tommy-kun is great, Harry-kun. Now go to that match and defeat them all. Banzai!}

Harry turned deep red at Mrs Tsukino's voice showing up.

{Tsukino-okusan...}

{Don't worry.} She argued. "Tommy-kun can you say «Banzai» with Obāsan?"

Harry only turned even redder as the three (Tommy barely even a babble) said «Banzai» three time before they said goodbye and hung-up.

[What...] "guys, what does «Banzai» mean?" He asked embarrassed as he stored the mobile phone in his bag.

"It's what we tell someone to wish that person good luck. Can be for anything. For game matches, school tests, going out to go ask the girl you like on a date..."

"Oh... thank you."

They grinned back.

"No problem. How's the kiddo?"

"Usagi-chan said his fever is practically gone."

"That's great. In no time he'll be walking around and driving you crazy with him again."

Harry laughed because if anything Tommy was not the type to ran around and get into trouble. That was Harry's job. Tommy preferred a good book to exercise.
