Stare

Ryoma stared into Sakuno's eyes.

Sakuno stared into Ryoma's eyes.

Neither looked away.

Near them, Eiji, Fuji, Tomoka and Horio looked on, a little perplexed.

'What's Echizen doing to Sakuno-chan?' asked Horio.

'He's looking into her eyes,' answered Eiji.

Tomoka snorted. 'Congratulations on stating the obvious.'

Fuji smiled. They looked so in love…..

'Wouldn't it be nice if they got married?' asked Tomoka dreamily.

The other three just stared at her. Then they looked the couple sitting a little away from them, looking intently into each other's eyes.

Actually, the idea didn't seem so bad….they looked like newlyweds already.

'I'll be maid of honour…' Tomoka went on in the same dreamy voice.

Horio raised an eyebrow and an amazing idea came to his mind. 'Maybe I can be best man…' he murmured thoughtfully.

Fuji and Eiji looked at each other. 'I wouldn't mind going for cake,' said Eiji. Then Tomoka hit him over the head for being shallow.

Fuji chuckled and went back to looking at the two apparent lovebirds.

The four continued observing the two people they were currently discussing.

Meanwhile…..

Ryoma stared into Sakuno's eyes.

Sakuno stared into Ryoma's eyes.

Neither looked away.

Until…..

Blink.

Ryoma blinked.

Sakuno laughed. 'I win!' she exclaimed happily, and looked at Ryoma, triumphant. 'You owe me a can of Ponta.'

Ryoma rolled his eyes and got up. 'Mada mada dane,' he muttered. Then he bent close to Sakuno and said, 'Whatever you say, Sakuno-chan.' Then got up and walked away, leaving a blushing Sakuno behind.

He didn't win the staring contest, but he did succeed in making her blush. And from that little piece of victory, he felt immense satisfaction.
