Title: I'll Come For You
Pairing : Miyusawa, Misawa, other side pairings
Chapter 1 : Feelings
Baseball was everything to Sawamura Eijun, there was nothing else that he cared about but suddenly he started to notice something that was happening to him. He was now in his first year of University, he ended up in the same University as Miyuki Kazuya the catcher he admired greatly but of course he would never let him know or he would never hear the end of it.
Eijun started his first day of classes but he kind of got lost, the University was so big that it was hard to find his way through everything. He wished that Haruichi and Furuya were in the same school but he couldn't always rely on them. Everybody were in separate University which upset the brunet but it couldn't be help.
The brunet finally found his class room with a help of one of students in the University. The first year sits down where the window is. He is leaning on his hand as he looks out the window and watches the cherry blossom flow in the air. It was a nice sight to see.
Around noon the brunet explored the University so he could get the whole picture. He kind of looked like a new born with curious in his eyes. Eijun had a habit of doing this since he wasn't from Tokyo. When he had told his parents that he was going attend University in Tokyo, they sounded a bit sad but they wanted what was best for him so the brunet was allow to attend the same University as Miyuki.
Miyuki wasn't the only one who attended the University.
Eijun stopped walking when he ended up on the baseball field. It was bigger than Seidou. The brunet couldn't forget that day he arrived at Seidou and formed a battery with Miyuki, it was something he would never forget.
"Sawamura!" Eijun knew this voice. It was his former roommate who used to always try his wresting moves on him, not like he doesn't do that anymore.
"Kuramochi-senpai."
"I heard from Miyuki that you were attending here."
"It's not like I followed him or anything!"
"I didn't say a thing idiot." Kuramochi could see the blush on Eijun's face. His senpai wonder how they never got together in high school. Everybody knew they had a thing for each other but nothing happened, He and the others even helped them to make a move yet nothing happened.
"Is something the matter?" Eijun asked.
"Nothing."
Eijun watched the field as the players practiced in the field. He didn't join the team yet since he couldn't at the moment but he didn't tell his senpais about it yet.
"You haven't joined yet. How come?" Kuramochi asked.
"There some things I have to deal with." Eijun said like there was nothing wrong but that was far from the truth. When Eijun said those words something clicked inside Kuramochi but he couldn't tell since the boy looked cheerful like nothing was wrong.
"I would thing you would be the first one to join." Kuramochi laughed. Kuramochi was right since that is how Eijun is like but at the moment he couldn't.
The brunet looked at his watch on his hand and saw he had to hurry.
"I'll see you around Kuramochi-senpai." Eijun waved goodbye and ran out of the field.
"He's acting strange."
Eijun headed to the train station. He was still wearing his uniform and had his school bag on the side. There were a lot of people in the station, well it was a week day. The brunet noticed somebody he didn't think he would see today.
"Miyuki Kazuya!" He yelled out the name of the person he admired. Eijun had a grin on his face when Miyuki turned to face the brunet. Miyuki was wearing a jersey and holding a book while he had a bag on his right side.
"Loud as ever, I see." Miyuki closed his book shut and Eijun walked toward where his senpai was standing.
"Are you going somewhere?"
"I could ask you the same thing since you live in the opposite direction."
"You're right." Eijun chuckled. To Miyuki it was bit strange for Eijun to be here at the station since he is always with somebody like Haruichi and Furuya even thou they are in different University they still are friends and spend time with each other.
"I didn't think I would see you today." There was a faint blush on Eijun's face. He wouldn't admit it but he wanted to see Miyuki. The two stayed silent for a while.
"What do you mean by that?" Miyuki asked, he himself had a blush on his face.
"It's not like I wanted to see you or anything!"
The train arrived and the two got in, there were a lot of people which made the train crowded. The two were so close to each other and Eijun couldn't look anywhere beside Miyuki's face.
"Why did it have to be crowded?"
"Hey. How come you didn't join the baseball team yet?" Eijun knew this was going come from Miyuki since Kuramochi had asked him the same thing but he couldn't let them know yet. How could he even tell him of all people?
"I just have some things to deal with first." He smiled. Miyuki wasn't buying it and thought the boy was hiding something from him but he didn't push it any farer.
After the ride the two parted ways.
Eijun arrived in front of a huge hospital. He didn't want to be here but he didn't have a choice. He was allowed to attend University in Tokyo, only if he did his daily check-up and Eijun wanted to stay in Tokyo so he obey what his parents told him.
In Eijun's last year of high school he was the captain and he overworked himself that hurt his hand that he could barely pick up anything anymore. He was angry at himself that he couldn't take his team to victory but they didn't blame him.
The only people who knew about his injury was probably those back in his last year in high school, like Haruichi and Furuya. He had told the two to not tell anybody else that doesn't know. He wanted to keep it a secret. He thought if more people knew they would worry about him.
After that incident he had gone to do daily check-up but the doctor said it needs time to heal. Eijun didn't get the doctor, he doesn't say much except time to heal, meaning he can't hold a baseball for some time now.
Even so the doctor said Eijun would hold a ball but he couldn't throw it. He try to use his other hand but it wasn't the same.
That night the brunet lay down on his bed. He then took out a magazine from his side table drawer. He flipped through the pages until he stopped at a certain page with an article about the catcher. Miyuki had gone famous over the years and Eijun became more interest and it wasn't just about baseball.
"My heart won't stop beating." Eijun closed the magazine and held it toward his chest. He then closed his eyes trying to forget about his beating heart but it wouldn't go away. This feeling was something the brunet had never experience before. He didn't want to admit this feeling he was getting.
A certain catcher was also in his apartment. He couldn't forget that face the pitcher was making, it was making Miyuki crazy. It was just like when both of them were in high school. Miyuki thought he forgot about these feelings but it had come back when every time he looked at the brunet.
Miyuki wanted to forget it all. He couldn't deny the feelings he was getting. The truth was he loved Eijun since high school but he never had the guts to tell the brunet his feeling. How could he tell the dense boy? He knew the fact that Kuramochi and his senpais tried to get them together but he just didn't have it in him to tell the boy how he felt.
Now what was he going to do. They were in the same University and he would join also, making them see each other a lot. How was he going to control this feeling?
"You make me go crazy." Miyuki let out a sigh and lay in his bed then closed his eyes, hoping to forget everything but of course that was impossible even for Miyuki.
The continue days went by like normal and Eijun still hadn't joined the baseball team which made Miyuki and Kuramochi worry. Even the coach wondered why Eijun didn't join the team. The coach had heard about Eijun and wanted him in his team, he even went to talk to the brunet, but all he got was he had to deal with some things before he could join.
The brunet was walking down the hall of the University when his phone ring. Eijun took his phone from his pocket and looked at it.
"It's from Haruiichi." Eijun clicked the answer button and put the phone toward his right ear.
"Haruiichi." He said.
"Eijun, I think it's best that you tell Miyuki-senpai and the others."
"What are you talking about?" Eijun didn't understand why Haruichi was suddenly saying all this. Haruichi knew very well that the brunet couldn't do that, not right now.
"Aniki came and talked to me about you." Haruichi then explained to Eijun that his brothers and the others had a meeting and it was about him.
"They're noticing the change in you."
"Either way, don't tell them." Eijun said as he hang up his call on Haruichi. It wasn't something that Eijun would hide since it was nothing serious but he just didn't want others to worry about him, he was fine on his own. He could take care of this mess on his own. He knew that time would go by and he would be on the team and maybe become the ace. Eijun just couldn't wait for that day to come.
"Miyuki, what are you going to do?" Kuramochi asked.
"What are you saying?"
"I mean about Sawamura."
"I'm going to do nothing since he's not going to tell us."
"Are you serious about this?" To be honest Miyuki wasn't but he couldn't force the boy to tell him what was wrong. He was sure the brunet would tell him on his own when the time was right. Plus he seemed cheerful so there was nothing else that bother him since he was still the loud annoying boy he knew from Seidou.
The team had a practice game with another team. Eijun had come to watch the match. The brunet felt strange watching instead of playing, since he always did the playing so seeing them play made him a bit jealous.
Miyuki was up on bat. He watched the ball carefully, he made sure always see how things went. This Eijun knew very well. The pitcher then did the unexpected and let Miyuki walk.
"Nice walk, Miyuki Kazuya!" Eijun yelled. Miyuki looked up to where the brunet was sitting, he suddenly felt a Deja vu.
"Does he have to always be this loud?"
"They're being caution of me, huh." Miyuki then looked where Kuramochi was. He was up to bat next. The team they were playing knew who were good and did what was best for them, to Miyuki he thought they were just cowards.
"This game seems one sided." Eijun turned around to the familiar voice.
"Narumiya Mei."
Narumiya then turned to Eijun who had called his name.
"If it isn't the bunt master?"
"Can you not say that?" Eijun was called that in high school since he was only good bunts when being in bat. Narumiya wasn't the only one here. The players that Narumiya had gathered before he entered high school were also with him.
"Why are they doing here?"
"How come you're not playing?" Narumiya asked. Eijun didn't want to answer since he had gotten these kind of questions a lot.
"I'm not in the team yet." He said.
"Why is that?" Narumiya asked. It was a question he got a lot and to be honest the brunet was getting annoyed.
"I will. Just not yet." He said.
Narumiya and his friends looked at Eijun confused. Eijun also would be to if somebody he knew said the same thing.
The game had ended and Miyuki's team had won the match. Eijun watched them with envy in his eyes. He wanted to play so bad.
"Kitten, I hope we can play each other again."
"Who are you calling kitten?!"
"You're same as ever I see." Narumiya giggled.
