So close, yet so far ( Chapter 1 )
" Ryoma-sama, Ryoma-sama ! Matte kudasaiyo ~ ! "
" Che. Not those obnoxious fangirls again. " muttered Ryoma softly to himself. Echizen Ryoma, 12, rookie of the Seigaku tennis team, has landed himself in yet another problem. Just last week, he was still a normal freshman who was only supped to pick up balls and do basic practices. Well, as I have said, last week. Through several incidents, Ryoma's exceptional abilities ( and cockiness ) came into the attention of the Seigaku regulars, not forgetting the captain Tezuka who had written Ryoma's name in the Seigaku ranking tournament list.
Having beaten 2 regulars at one go, not forgetting one of which is a third-year, no doubt has he gained respect, envy and ….. annoying fangirls.
" Hora Sakuno, hurry up or Ryoma-sama will be gone ! " shouting at the top of her lungs, Tomoe, one of Ryoma's fangirls, continued to chase after him, much to his annoyance.
" Mou .. Tomoe-chan is just so … " Sighing to herself, Ryuzaki Sakuno hastened her footsteps in attempt to catch up to Tomoe.
" YIKES, Another one ? " In his efforts to stay away from the girls, Ryoma failed to perceive what was ahead ….
THUD.
" Oww … what the hell ? " Echizen Ryoma looked up, only to find Fuji Syuusuke and his usual smiling poker face. He blushed a little at the constant staring from Fuji. After a few brief moments, Fugi finally broke the silence.
" And … ? Why were you running ? "
" … to get away from … them. " pointing to the duo, Ryoma gestured to leave before they catch up.
" Wait up, why not hide in my house ? It's close by here. "
" E… he ? " apparently shocked at Fuji's request, Ryoma stuttered a little. However, time was running out and with both girls pressing close, he had to make a choice.
" S-Sure … I guess … "
" Then what are we waiting for ? " Grabbing Ryoma's hand by the wrist, Fuji shot back a gentle smile, which caused Ryoma to turn a slight red.
Unknown to all, Fuji is actually Ryoma's boyfriend. They'd met at a tennis centre many a times and was starting to get interested in each other and eventually went out.
Staring at the man before him, Ryoma couldn't help but wonder if Fuji was really into him. The pair eventually made it into Fuji's house without getting discovered by the pesky girls. Entering the apartment, Ryoma noticed that it was rather messy, unlike how he thought it would be. Not only that, but the apartment was also exceptionally quiet.
" Ne, Fuji-senpa - " before he could speak, Fuji pressed a finger against his lips.
" Shh .. it's alright if you call me Syuusuke here. "
" Syu- Syuusuke, where are you family? Do they live here with you ? "
" No they don't, we do make frequent visits to each other though. So yea, there's just the two of us in this apartment. "
J … Just the two of us? Alone ? In one tiny apartment ? Ryoma's face reddened at the thought of the things they could do. He bit his lower lip in attempt to stay composed … no way was he ever gonna let Fuji notice any of this.
But of course, the prodigy Fuji realized this right away. He smirked a little and pushed the boy against the floor, pinning him down.
