This is a Golden Pair Fan Fic (aka Oishi x Eiji) other pairings will later be incorporated into the story (some will be boyxboy and some boyxgirl)
I do not own Prince of Tennis (I wish I owned it : Fuji would be my bestest friend and Eiji oh Eiji mwahahaha! *High fives Oishi*
The entire story will be in Eiji's PoV unless stated otherwise
Prologue:
I hate them, nya. I completely hate them! Those jerks on the tennis team just don't know when to stop. If it weren't for Taka intervening I don't know if I could put up with it. Sure it's only during home room and lunch but it is ridiculous. Don't they have a life? Every day they bother me, calling me gay because I'm the only boy in the drama club. Tell me how on earth being the only guy in a club surrounded by girls makes me gay because I honestly can't fathom it. Truthfully I don't even know what my sexuality is. I mean come on, we're only in Jr High School and I've never been in a relationship with anyone before, boy or girl!
I'm usually a rather cheery flashy person as I love being the center of attention (which is why I love drama club) but when the tennis team is around I try my hardest just to blend in with the scenery. In my home room there are four of the Segaku tennis regulars Tezuka-San, Fuji-san, Oishi-san, and Taka. They actually aren't that bad at teasing me normally they only do it if Fuji-san starts it. It's actually Momoshiro-san and Kaidoh-san that are the worst, which is ridiculous, I mean come on I'm their sempai! Taka is actually a friend of mine so he tries to stop his teammates from torturing me but he's a rather soft spoken person and they are his friends as well (though I don't understand how he can be friends with them) so I often just suffer through it gritting my teeth.
Of course I know how to defend myself, I'm not spineless at all (even if I am quite flexible). I've just gotten used to their teasing as they've done it all year and frankly I just don't care anymore...most of the time.
Pinning the musical audition signup sheet to the bulletin board I took a pin and drew a chibi of myself winking and holding up a "V" for victory and stood back to admire my work. "Ah, Kikumaru-kun!" Momoshiro called to me smirking as he walked over along with Oishi-San, Fuji-san, Inui-San, Kaidoh-San, Echizen-kun, Taka, and Tezuka-san. I frowned this could only be bad. Momo eyed the paper Id finished putting up. "I was going to make a comment on how especially gay you're looking today but that piece of paper has to be the gayest thing I've ever seen. Pink, for musical, and your face. "I glared at him.
"Enough Momo we need to go change for practice." Tezuka said giving me a weird look. Honestly I don't know if he pities me or is disgusted by me but I really hate that look.
"Yeah, you all need to go change together, while I, the "gay drama geek", go hang out with fifteen cute girls' backstage, ne?" I said winking at him.
"Why you?!" Momo said through gritted teeth glaring at me and my smile melted away as grabbed me by my shirt. "I dare you to say that again." I winced getting ready for the punch... I opened one eye when it never came.
"Viper what do you think you're doing" Momoshiro yelled letting go of me. I turned around to see Kaidoh next to the signup sheet his name written on the first open slot. I my jaw dropped as I stared at the paper.
"What?! Tennis is pretty much done now anyhow, and besides I'd rather hang out with anyone other than you!" He shouted.
The two went into a big argument but I tuned them out as I watched in shock as Echizen Ryoma, Segaku newest star tennis player, came and wrote his name neatly on the spot underneath Kaidoh.
"Mada mada Dane Momo-sempai." He said walking off. Smirking as Momo pursued him calling "Oi! Echizen!" Everyone just stood there staring off at them. Suddenly Taka was standing in front of me writing his name below Echizen's.
"Taka?!" Inui said surprised and started scribbling in the notebook he always carries. My friend blushed and turned to face his teammates.
"It could be fun. With us not having a matches till next tournament and the times it won't get in the way of tennis practice. Besides if you got a chance to get to know him I'm sure you'd all like Eiji. Plus like he said there are a lot of girls." He paused and bowed. "Please join me in this."
My eyes widened even more and my jaw was still slack. Timid Taka was trying to get them to accept me. Soon after Oishi-san was at the board signing his name on the next available slot looking at the floor avoiding eye contact with anyone.
"Tch. I guess I'll sign up too then" Fuji said adding his name. Then Inui and Tezuka as well. I stood there completely stunned.
"Come on we're going to be late for practice." Tezuka said and they left not saying another word, but Taka smiled at me and Fuji-san gave his normal closed eyed smiled as he roughly bumped into me.
I walked home in sort of a daze. When I laid down at night and played over the day's events the only way I could comfort myself was by saying it was just a dream and I'd find out Momo had knocked me out with punch after all. Thinking of those guys in my musical I couldn't help but believe that would be the less painful thing.
The next morning before going to home room I went and checked the signup sheet. Sure enough all their names were there, along with a few others but the name that surprised me the most was written mess scrawl above Kaidoh's. Momoshiro Takeshi.
The next two days no one on the tennis team so much as looked at me, including Taka. I took a deep breath as I entered the auditorium and handed the signup sheet to Mrs. Amane the teacher in charge of drama club and director of our musicals. She nodded looking over the names and smiled at me. "Thank you Eiji. Please give this to office and tell them to put the time of the audition on tomorrow's morning announcements. That'll be all for today." I nodded and smiled doing as she asked. Mrs. Amane was an awesome teacher! She is the music teacher and also a drama instructor. Before teaching she was a well-known actress and she still has many fans. Her husband is a play writer so we often perform his work. The spring play hasn't been announced to anyone yet but Mrs. Amane said she's really excited about it so I am too, Nya! I just hope those tennis jerks don't screw it up.
I am sooooo excited about this story! I have got tons of ideas and the coolest part is that this is TWO stories in 1, as i will be writing the play out when it come time for show time :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Golden Pair and am REALLY surprised there are not more stories about them. I have tons of story ideas for them and have drawn them 3 times in the past two months (they're my new OTP)
