Outside Looking In
I wasn't part of the trinity, nor was I that valuable in doubles. They had played me before with Yagyuu-sempai and Jackal-sempai but we lost, badly, and they both ended up hurt. It was like the team was in a house and I was just outside of the window, watching their closeness and longing for something like that. It was lonely for me so I'd ride around aimlessly on the bus, trying to find a school where I might fit in. All I did was cause trouble because people were afraid of me. I didn't mean to hurt people but, I was just playing my style of tennis.
I didn't notice how much I was cutting myself off from people until Yanagi-sempai mentioned it. I tried to shrug him off, he had people that he belonged with, I was a cast off. He persisted though, almost demanding that I tell him what was wrong. I'd never seen him so passionate about something, regarding anyone. I relented a tiny bit, telling him I was a little lonely. He kept giving me this look as if he could read my mind and didn't believe it was all. As I turned to leave and go be by myself, he caught my wrist in a tight grip and spun me so I was face first in his chest. He put his arms around me and whispered softly in my ear that I could tell him anything.
Tears welled up in my eyes because of the sheer tenderness of his actions. He really cared about me, it made my heart leap for joy. Suddenly I knew that, yes, I had been looking in the window but, Yanagi-sempai had open the door and let me in. When he softly kissed my cheeks and wiped the tears away with the calloused pad of his thumb, I realized that Yanagi-sempai had been lonely too, because he had been waiting for me. He did belong with Yukimura-buchou and Sanada-fukubuchou but, unlike Buchou and fukubuchou, Yagyuu-sempai and Niou-sempai, and Jackal-sempai and Marui-sempai, he didn't have someone to hold and love him. He was lonely, just like me.
He slowly kissed my lips and told me everything was going to be alright and that he'd never let me go. I was no longer outside the window, I was sitting next to Yanagi-sempai surrounded by my friends. That was the one place in the world that I knew I would always be happiest, I hope with all my heart to remain there.
A/N: Sorry, this is really random. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this. I think it came out alright.
Right now, I'm trying to type all my written fanfiction so I hope to be posting a lot of stuff soon.
