A/N : Call me crazy but I really wanted to try this out since there's lack of this pairing (TezuMomo) and this really not mainstream. Wish me luck! If you don't like it, you can leave it. In order to continue this, I need some positive review, or I'll simply discontinue this. Please read and review!

Warning : AU because Momoshiro didn't play tennis instead he was in newspaper club. Light shounen-ai. Grammatical error.

Chapter 1

Through the Lens

Momoshiro Takeshi smiled as he looked at his first camera. Nothing too fancy. Just a normal prosumer camera, but he was glad with it. He tried to snap a few pictures of his class mates to familiarize himself with his new camera. Momo smiled, satisfied with this camera. He sat casually on the windowsill and stared down at the tennis court where he could see the members of tennis team were practicing as usual.

"Ne, Momoshiro-kun? Are you really planning on joining newspaper club? I heard that you used to play tennis before… Seigaku has a good tennis club by the way…" said one of his class mate (he thought her name was Chiharu or something).

Momo only bite his lip at this comment and shook his head.

"I'm quitting tennis. Anyway, I really enjoyed photography right now," said Momo. He didn't want to remember it. He really didn't want to. Unconsciously his hand moves to his right foot and grasped it. "Are you joining newspaper club too?" asked Momo. He smiled brightly at the girl.

"Uhm… No. I'll join girls' tennis club," said her. "I'll see you tomorrow, Momoshiro-kun."

The girl walked out of the class room while Momo once again playing with his camera. He looked around the tennis court and saw Kaidoh Kaoru among the others first years. He stood out as usual with his green bandana and so on. Momo chuckled a little and took a picture of Kaidoh who was picking up ball on the court. He tried to take a picture of another member of tennis club when he saw one face.

He was wearing Seigaku regular's jersey with a serious expression on his face. His glasses covered his yellow-ish brown eyes. Momo smiled as his hand moves to the shutter and his left hand adjust the focus of his camera.

Snap!

Momo smiled.

He knew Kaidoh since a long time ago. They were rivals, or that was how they called themselves if not best friend (which was none of them like this term). It was a ritual for Momo to be in Kaidoh's house every evening just to annoy the boy. Since they went to the same school (again) it was easier for Momo to go to Kaidoh's house.

"Ah! Takeshi-kun! You come just in time to try my new sponge cake!" Kaidoh's mother greeted him with a bright smile on her face. She always liked Momo, since the boy would eat whatever experimental cooking she made and gave her an honest opinion.

"Thank you, Hozumi-san! Is Kaidoh home?" he asked.

"Ara? Kaoru haven't got home yet. But you can wait for him in his room. Here, take this with you," Kaidoh's mother handed him a plateful of sponge cake. Momo smiled and went to Kaidoh's room. He made himself comfortable and ate the cake. As usual, it tasted great. Momo only smiled brightly. He drank the tea that Kaidoh's mother prepared for him and pulled out his camera from his bag.

He turned it on and browsed at the picture he took today. His candid shots of his class mates made him smiled as he browsed further until the shots from tennis court. Once again, his hand went to his leg and he sighed.

Momo looked up as the door to the room was opened and a certain snake-like boy stood by the door.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" asked the boy.

"Oh! Mamushi! You home!" said Momo as he grinned at the boy. Momo liked to call Kaidoh Kaoru 'Mamushi' since they were in elementary school because of a documentary film about Viper snake. Since then, Momo always called Kaidoh as Mamushi.

"What are you doing in my room?" asked Kaidoh.

"You're Mom asked me about her new sponge cake and let me wait for you here," said Momo. "It's not like I'm bothering you."

"You are."

"Anyway, you should look at the shots I took today! They were awesome!" said Momo as he showed Kaidoh the pictures. Kaidoh looked at them passively and he stopped at the shot of him. He blushed a bit at the picture.

"You took my picture, you moron!" said Kaidoh.

"What's wrong with that? It's a good one though, with all the composition and lightning. Geez, Mamushi…"

Still a bit blushing, Kaidoh went to the next picture when he saw the picture of a certain boy.

"You took picture of Tezuka-fukubuchou?" asked Kaidoh.

"Fukubuchou?" asked Momo. "Ah! So he was the vice-captain! Well, I just took random pictures of tennis club."

There were pregnant silence between them when finally Kaidoh turned the camera off and handed it to Momo. Momo filled the room with a one-sided conversation about the awesome cake Kaidoh's mom make and how he liked it while Kaidoh's mind was on a totally different matter.

"Do you miss it?" asked Kaidoh.

"What?"

"Tennis."

"Oh."

"Well?"

Momo only smiled at his rival. "Well, there's nothing we can do, right? I'll just deal with it."

"I'm sorry."

"Not your fault."

"Still…"

"I don't want to talk about it, Mamushi," I really don't, he added in his mind. Momo stood up and gathered his thing and threw it into his back pack before placed his camera carefully. "I better head home now."

Momo left after he thanked Kaidoh's mom and gave her his honest opinion which caused the woman to squeal at her success. She forced him to bring some for his family which Momo accepted gladly. He headed home after that.

Tennis, huh?

He was accepted in newspaper club the next day. With his tennis background, he was asked to cover the news from tennis club which he gladly accepted. Their school newspaper wasn't ordinary newspaper. It was almost as professional as Pro-Tennis Magazine, so it wasn't easy to join this club.

As his first job, he would documented the tennis club's practice this afternoon for future reference and collect some information about the current freshmen. It wasn't an easy task, but with the helps from his senpai and his friends, he thought he would make it.

Right now, he was standing outside the court with his camera ready as he took picture of the tennis club. He could see the second year with their green jerseys and the regulars with their white and blue jerseys. He took as many pictures as he could. That was when he caught the sight of Kaidoh. He chuckled and took another picture of the snake-boy.

He shifted his gaze at the other side of the court when he saw him again. Still with the stoic expression. He was talking to another regulars (Momo guessed he was the captain of tennis club) seriously. The captain nodded and shouted orders to the members as they started practice match between regulars.

"You there! What are you doing?" a stern voice shouted from the court.

Momo took his eyes from the camera and looked up. In front of him, there was the vice-captain, stood tall with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He threw a sharp glare at Momo which Momo countered with a nervous smile.

"Eeh… I… I'm from newspaper club…" he answered, suddenly feeling nervous. What on earth?!

"And?"

"Uhm… I want to make report about the tennis club activity if it's okay…?" asked Momo.

The vice-captain nodded and left him. Momo sighed as he knew he wasn't in any troubles. Only God knew what would happen if he ruined the relationship between newspaper club and tennis club.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu-san, huh?" Momo wondered. He smiled slightly as he remembered the name.

Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Note :

fukubuchou : Vice-captain
