Imaizumi and Naruko had been wondering, what the reason behind Onoda energetic attitude. He is way too full of spirit than he usual self and often daydreaming these past few days, they become more concern with his behavior and decide to ask him directly at their way home from club practice.

"No…it's nothing, it's just…I had a plan to go out tomorrow." Onoda admitted shyly while scratching his head when Naruko and Imaizumi manage to asked him.

"Oh, I see, it is a date!" Naruko replied with enthusiast as usual. His direct statement had make Onoda flushed and fidgeting.

"Eh? D-d-d-d-d-date?! I-i-is not like that!" The glassess male shakes his head in embarassment.

"You don't have to deny it!" Naruko give a friendly smack on Onoda back with his palm. "Onoda-kun finally blossomed, don't you think we should celebrate this moment Hotshot?" The later just shrugged uninterested. Imaizumi doesn't really like to snuck around other people problem.

"Che, you're not fun!" Naruko replied with a pout. "But, I wonder who's this lucky girl is…" Naruko asked with a curious tone.

"Yo-You got it wrong! I-it's not a girl!" Onoda statement gained both his friend attention, they both seems a little surprise. "It's Manami-kun, Manami Sangaku from Hakogaku."

"Manami…?" At first Naruko seems puzzled a bit as he tried to recall the person Onoda mentioned.

"Hakone Gakuen climber, Manami Sangaku, the guy with zekken number 6." Imaizumi release a sigh and explained it to him.

"Ah, that's blue haired boy!" Naruko said finally acknowledge the guy.

"You really slow for someone with nickname speed star of Naniwa." Imaizumi muttered in sarcastic tone under his breath.

"Shut up! I'm not good at remembering faces!" Naruko snapped in annoyance. Raised his fist at the taller male resist the urge to strangle him.

"So it just a casual outing eh? I thought it was something else cause you're really excited about it." Naruko add with a dissapointment sigh as he raise his pace and now walk in the front with Imaizumi. Both of them seem to not realize Onoda behind them slowly halted his step until they can't hear his step following them anymore.

"Onoda-kun? What's wrong?" Naruko asked when he turn around and find Onoda were not moving one step from his place. Naruko and Imaizumi exchange glances when they receive no reply from the glassess male before decide to approach him.

"Come on, you can tell us what has bothering you." The redhead said as he give Onoda a playful slap on the back.

"Naruko-kun, Imaizumi-kun…" Onoda starts with a low tone. "There is something I want to tell you…"

My chest is fluttering,

My heart beating so fast,

This kind of feeling what do you call it?

Hakone Academy

The Hakogaku cycling club just finished their practice for the day. Fukutomi and Izumida already leaving the locker room and Arakita already finished changing and also about to leave.

"I'm leaving first." He announces at Toudou that still checking himself in the mirror. "Don't forget to lock the room after you're done."

"Right, right, you don't need to remind me every time." The said male replied with dismissal wave at his teammate.

"If only you didn't forget every time I don't remind you." The taller male scoffed in annoyance before closed the door of locker room.

After Arakita left, Toudou send a glance at Manami whose locker besides him. The blue haired male is about to unzip his jersey.

"Hey, Manami." He said to catch the younger male attention.

"Yes? What is it Toudou Senpai?" Manami answered while taking off his jersey revealing his white creamy skin.

"Were you sick or something?" Toudou question seems to make Manami confuse, as he tilt his head to right side in cute manner, with clueless expression while saying 'eh?'

"No…it just, I notice that you've often placing your palm in your right part of chest nowadays. Is there something wrong?" The bandana guy asking out of concern for his junior. His junior is an airhead alright, but somehow he'd become distracted lately.

"No, of course not. I am completely fine!" Manami answered with carefree and cheerful tone.

"Then, what is it about?" Toudou raised one of his eyebrow.

"Well, if I had to say…the closest thing will be excitement." Manami answered truthfully as he put on his uniform shirt.

"Excitement?" Toudou asked again even more confuse than before.

"I'm can't wait until tomorrow!"

"Don't tell me, it's a date?!" Toudou exclaimed in surprise at Manami sudden enthusiasm.

"Well, you can say it something like that…" Manami replied while give him a meaningful and rather mischievous smile.

"It's definitely a date!" How come you already had a girlfriend before me?! It's unfair!" The older male seems experated by the idea his junior already going out with a girl before him.

"Well, then, good luck Toudou-san." Manami said as he zipping his bag. " I'll be going first and don't forget to lock the door." He add before close the locker room ignoring Toudou peeved shouted.

Naruko and Imaizumi both stared at Onoda with wide unblinking eyes.

They are currently sitting at the floor in Onoda's room. That room look like any other rooms except for anime poster (mainly from Love Hime) all across the wall and some figurine on the top of the desk.

The subject that currently become they main focus is now flinching uncomfortably from the place he sat in formal way. The sprinter and the All-rounder seems to loss at word after hearing their best friend confession. Onoda had told them about his last encounter with Manami. They are his best friends and he wanted them to know and if possible accept him too. Although he understand that it's natural, they are really shocked at the sudden revelation.

"Th-that's great! Congratulation Onoda-kun!" Naruko congratulate him with a wide smile after he come out from his shock state. Upon hearing the redhead positive response, Onoda release the breath he didn't know he'd been holding in relief before turn at Imaizumi.

The taller male simply sat in silence, seems haven't get over his shock yet.

"I-Imaizumi-kun…?"

"Oi, Hotshot!"

"A-ah…I'm sorry, I just don't know what to say…" Imaizumi scratched the base of his head, glance downward to avoid Onoda nervous looks and Naruko confuse glare. "But, yeah, I'm happy for you."

"Imaizumi-kun!" Onoda seems to tear up from joy and Naruko only smiled satisfied.

"So…what does it's felt like?" Naruko asked in curious tone while scooted closer at Onoda.

"What, what felt like?" Onoda asks, puzzled by the redhead question.

"You know." Naruko raised his eyebrow mischievously. "The kiss."

His statement make Onoda burn in embarassment, his face become really red.

"K-k-kiss?"

"What you felt when you kissed him? Describe them." The last part however sounds like a demand rather than request.

"Ehm…but, aren't you have way more experience than me? I mean you told me that you used to kiss plenty of girls and fondling their b-b-breasts…" He said the last part with a small voice almost a whisper. Onoda look generally confused at Naruko curiosity and enthusiasm to find out about his. His question has successfully struck Naruko as he became speechless.

"Erm…it's…you know Onoda-kun…" The redhead tried hard to come out with reasonable excuse.

"It's obviously a lie, there is no way this idiot had ever going out with girl much less touch them. He even barely have a talk with Miki." Imaizumi sneered in mocking tone.

"Shut up! Like you're one to talk, you never going out with a girl either!" Naruko accused him while point a finger at him.

"I don't have and currently not interested." Imaizumi crossed his arm and throw his glance away in indifferent manners, pay no heed to Naruko that growl in frustation at him.

"O-oh…I see…" Onoda nodded in understanding while watching the interaction between them.

He then slowly raised his point and middle fingers and brushed them against his lip."It…felt…soft…" Both Naruko and Imaizumi halt their brawl when they heard Onoda words.

"At that moment our lips touched it felt like the time has stopped, there's an ecstatic feelings I can't clearly explain and my heart start beating so fast. My mind went blank, the only thing I knew is I don't want this to over." Onoda were surprised when he remembered how much that light kiss had taken his breath away.

The silence overwhelming the room as the three of them decide to sat in silent and only enjoy the silentness in content.

"Then, have you decide what you're going to wear tomorrow?" Naruko asked again after a fifteen minutes of true bliss had passed.

"Yeah, of course! In fact I want to know what your opinion about this! Just wait for a moment!" Onoda said as he rushed toward the other room. Naruko can only shakes his head a little seeing how enthusiastic Onoda become. Then he glance to his side and startle when he found Imaizumi staring at him.

"W-what?" he asked while raise his eyebrow. He obviously getting nervous under Imaizumi piercing stare.

"It's nothing." Imaizumi said as he threw his glance away from Naruko. And before Naruko had a chance to ask him what was that all about, Onoda already barging in.

"I am sorry for the wait! Now, what do you guys think?" He asks as he walked in the room with casual orange and yellow plaid shirt with the edge tucked behind his beige cream trousers which he pulls slightly above his waist. For the last touch he part his hair in *7/3 style (remember the second day of interhigh when they ask to take a shoot of him?) And without doubt, he had transformed to a perfect dork now.

"Onoda…"

"Onoda-kun…"

Was all Imaizumi and Naruko manage to say at their friend ridiculous appearance.

"You know, actually I can't decide which jacket I should use? The black one or the white one?" He seems oblivious by his friends expression raise two different color jacket but the same size and style.

"Wait, wait,wait a minute, Onoda-kun!" Naruko interrupt him waving his palm.

"Yes, what's the matter Naruko-kun?" Onoda ask brightly, ready to hear his friend comment.

"This clothes…how should put it? umm, rather out of place?" rather than giving suggestion is come out more of question.

"I mean, if I have to say it…honestly it's out of fashion! And didn't I said you look really uncool with that hair?!" Naruko finally snapped when he saw Onoda certain obliviousness.

"Come here! We really need a lot of work for this!" The redhead said as he dragged bewilderement Onoda to the other room where he kept all his clothes. "Come on Hotshot! You help too!" he order when he realize Imaizumi sat still in his place.

They then spend the rest of evening tried to fix Onoda's horrible style.

.

Manami sat on his chair before his desk. He were glancing at the water bottle Onoda returned to him at the end of the third day of Interhigh, when Sohoku achieve the victory and rise as the king replacing them.

Even until now, it's hurt, everytime he look at the bottle. It's like a symbol of defeat that remind him of their loss at the last Inter-high.

But at the same time, this bottle also remind him of Onoda. The best climber he ever knew and admired. Also the very same person with a bright smile that make him feel warm and content inside, the person who make his heart beat faster every time he remember him.

He smiles softly as he trace his finger over the sport bottle, from the edge of the bottom through the top of the tip.

Sakamichi-kun also drank from here…He thought while watching the tip before lift the bottle closer and put the tip in front of his lips. It feels like an indirect kiss…

He really excited, tomorrow will be they're first date and he determined to make the most out of it so it will be memorable for both of them.

To be continue…
