A/N: A story dedicated to our favorite pun guy from Rokkaku. Please enjoy.
It was not long after Rokkaku Chu's match against Seigaku. Hikaru Amane was upset that he lost in the match against Seigaku's powerhouses. Not only was he upset, he suffered from shock. They were leading just fine, but then all because of Momoshiro's "that", they lost it. After Momoshiro's "that" came Kawamura's Dash Hadoukyuu, which shocked them and even cracked Hikaru Amane's racket.
He told puns, but didn't bother laughing at them, until one day he met a girl who liked watching his team play tennis. She was a few years younger, but she was adorable and loved to chat with the regulars, all of them, besides Amane.
Amane was known as 'Davide' to others, and he quite enjoyed that name. However, the one girl that he wished to talk to did not even look his way. His puns meant nothing, he was no longer affected by the kicks sent his way by Bane, but still, that one girl did not look his way.
He couldn't take it anymore as he saw the girl talk to Saeki, his vice captain and watched as her adorable face lit up in a smile.
Her smile sent him a wave of calmness, serenity and sincerity. He decided to talk to her. As he approached her, she flinched and turned around to face him with a small frown. He was hurt.
"Davide!" The girl greeted. She still had a small frown, but her eyes lit up in realization.
Amane nodded at her. He didn't know how to begin the conversation, but the little girl was smart for her age.
"You want to know why I never talked to you, right?" The little girl asked. Amane nodded. "It's because of the smell of wax."
"Wax?" Amane asked confused. The girl pointed at his hair.
"It's too much wax or gel or whatever you prefer to call it." The girl said looking at him innocently.
"Oh…"
"Why do you bother putting so much anyways? Doesn't it take a long time?" The little girl asked.
"To me, gel is like a make up to a girl." Amane said. The little girl laughed happily.
"You're a funny guy, Davide. I regret not talking to you until now because of the amount of hair wax you have on. But I just can't the smell, so no offense." The little girl said smiling sweetly.
"None taken. Hikaru Amane, what's your name?" Amane said stretching out a hand.
"Hiyoko Sakuya, nice to meet you and thanks for telling me your full name, Davide." The little girl, Sakuya said smiling. She then looked at the time and waved. "I have to go now, bye, Davide."
It was the beginning of a new friendship or maybe a new love. Hikaru Amane was no longer affected by the loss, and the other matches that he participated in, the little girl cheered for him as well. He loved to see her smiling and hear her laughter when he tells her jokes and puns that Bane would kick him for. It was just a new beginning. After all, the gel to Amane is something that he favors, and because of the girl's confession, he didn't put less or more on his head, but the same to show that he is still the same person no matter what happens.
The End...
A/N: I'm not sure if the ending made sense, since I was rushing to do my homework. But I got this idea during class when one of my classmates shouted after some girl messed up his hair and he had gel on. Hope you enjoyed it!
