Is it a crime to steal kisses? It is a crime to steal anything that doesn't belong to you. But could it still be applied to kisses that aren't known to be stolen?

Then again, the only person that witnesses these crimes is the one doing them. Fuji ponders this from his seat on the large tree branch supporting his lean figure.

The cause of his thoughts is laying beneath the shade of his tree during the mid-traffic lunch break. It seems, in order to avoid people and noise, he comes here everyday just to nap.

He has yet to realize that this is the same place that the tensai comes to relax. Too bad the young boy never looks high above to notice the familiar figure.

Almost like he's on a schedule, the small boy begins to admit soft, cute snores. This is the amusing daily ritual that Fuji observes.

Sliding down the tree gracefully, he leans over the sleeping boy. Sapphire eyes twinkle with mischief, strands of hair cascading around his face as he leans down to kiss the pouty lips.

The taste of grape-flavor Ponta amuses him. The deep breath of the sleeping figure continues, the boy not knowing that something has been taken. Standing up, Fuji looks at the sky and smiles as he walks away, happy that the ritual has been completed and things are set straight.

The thief has taken what he wanted and the unsuspecting victim is just that: unsuspecting. Sometimes, Fuji wonders what cute expression Ryoma would make if he ever told him that his first kiss was taken away by a silent thief.

Wind lightly dance as soft laughter carries across the field. Still, the napping figure of the Tennis Prince sleeps on.
