Ryoma x Sakuno
Based on a true story
Please pretend that Ryoma and Sakuno are best friends.
I do not own Prince of Tennis.
I think I have finally realized it, I'm unconditionally in love with my best friend. I don't know what to do… At first, I only thought that I had a little crush on him, and that it would pass in a few weeks. But boy oh boy, was I ever wrong! Now my very existence is about him. I can't get him off my mind! He's the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and the last thought on my mind when I drift off to dreamland. Even my dreams, they are filled with him, and only him. When I get home from school, the only thing I want is for time to pass quickly so I can see him the next morning. I always look forward to that certain class I share with him. I love that class! I get to sit next to him, even though most of the times he just dozes off. He doesn't care about the grade anyways. And of course I don't mind, because as long I get to see him, I'm happy, since I can never get enough of him. Lunch time is also really fun, because we go outside with a bunch of friends, and he teaches us (me) about his sport, the one that he excels and is really passionate about. His sport is so hard! I can't swing and hit the ball! At least he's patient and is willing to throw the ball at me so many times. Though the daily basis of talking, teasing, fooling around and flirting, I slowly fell in love with him. As much as I don't like this, I can't pull myself out of this quicksand.
Oh I forgot to mention that he definitely does not like me. Why? Well, what an easy question. He likes one of my best friends. And she's really pretty, cute and nice. He's not the only guy crushing on her. Whenever he's around her, you can see that he likes her. It's so obvious! I don't stand a chance against her. My heart hurts so much. Especially when I see them together, I just want to turn around, walk away and cry. But I can't. I'm both of their friends; I can't just see them and not talk to them. Every time, I have to wear a smile and talk to them as nothing happened.
The few people that know of my interest in him always ask me why I like him or what part of him I find attracting. Let me answer the first question first. Why I like him? Well, I kind of like him just because! I like everything that he is! And he's so funny! He makes me laugh all the time. He's shown me simple kindness and gentleness. He's the first guy that has done that to me. And I idiotically fell in love with him. When asked the question of what part of him I think attractive, I will not hesitate to yell out: "His eyes!" His eyes are the most amazing and beautiful thing I've seen. They can change colour depending on his mood, so I can usually tell what mood he's in. Well, even without his eyes, I can still probably recognize what mood he's in. Even though his eyes are most capturing, the rest of him is also attractive. (Or at least to me it is, not that I was checking him out or anything!) I'll just leave the details to your imagination.
Another thing I forgot to mention is that I'm leaving the school next year, my family's relocating to another city. I'm probably never going to see him again. The thought of this makes me really upset. I don't want to leave him! I don't ever want to! He's my everything! Without him, I am nothing. But I guess this is life, I can only hope that fate will one day let us meet again… If the same thing in Grease happened to me, I would be so grateful, but it's only a story. My wishes never come true anyways, no matter how many times I wish on a wishing star.
Though the best solution is to get over and forget him, then I won't have to hurt so much. I should really give up. Even though I'm unconditionally in love with Echizen Ryoma.
