A/N: Since I'm inexperienced and burdened with schoolwork, I will most likely not continue Loved and Lost. Because of this, I'll probably only be posting one-shots and all. Enjoy the collection!

Opposites Attract


He didn't know why.

It still crossed his mind daily, how someone like her could love someone like him.

He supposed that it started from when they first met at the park, when he couldn't help but pull on those tempting braids.

She couldn't help but cry, which led her to be the first and only girl he'd ever apologize to.

Soon after exchanging names, they began talking until they became friends.

He learned that she played tennis; she learned that he played tennis as a regular.

It took two months until they took the pledge.

Full of feeling and wonder, fights and arguments, they still made it.

Even when her grandmother and the Seigaku Regulars found out.

And boy, was that hell. For him.

But today was the day they'd join together happiness. Companionship. Love.

He saw his old teammates in the front row, grinning widely, still holding that intimidating yet joking aura around them.

He repeated the promise he made years ago; the only motto he'd stood by.

He pledged to never lose. To never lose her.

After all, only she could love him like this. The way that makes him full of bright sunshine, something no one would expect from a person like him.

And as she walked down the aisle, he knew that this day will forever be one of the most blissful days in his life.

It was, after all, the day Sakuno Ryuzaki would become Sakuno Niou.
