Summary: Going on a first date, how exciting will it get?

PROLOGUE

After school practice ended, everyone retreated to the changing room, with the exception of some freshmen putting away the equipment.

"Hey, I'll give you a ride home on my bike," a voice said. That voice belonged to the powerhouse of the Seigaku tennis club, a handsome sophomore, Momoshiro Takeshi. "Don't be long. I'll wait for you at the school gates." With that he left the changing room to retrieve his bicycle.

The person in question was the young prodigy of the Seigaku tennis club, an arrogant freshman, Echizen Ryoma. He quickly packed his things and went to the meeting place. His sempai was already waiting for him.

"Get on," he said, patting the space at the back of his bike.

"Eh? Don't we always walk to McDonald's to get food before going home?"

"I…need to talk to you," came the short reply.

"We ARE talking."

"Just get on," said Momoshiro impatiently. He grabbed Echizen's arm and dragged him onto the bike.

He made sure his companion was holding on, and quickly rode away from school. They passed many houses and parks. About 5 minutes of riding on the bike, the biker finally stopped.

"Echizen," he started.

"Eh?" the younger of the two was very confused. He couldn't understand why his sempai was acting so weirdly today.

"I have something to tell you…I need to tell you something…I…" Momoshiro was nervous out of his mind. He took a deep breath and tried again. "Echizen, I like you. I really love you. I hope that we can date…"

Silence followed that confession. It's just like Echizen to think that it would be embarrassing if they did date. Momoshiro smiled to himself. It was a sad smile, very different from his usual light-hearted, friendly smiles.

"OK."

"What?" Momoshiro was shocked by the bluntness of that reply. It's impossible, he must have been dreaming just then.

"What do you mean 'What'?" was the reply.

"Nothing…" He knew it. Echizen wasn't the type to agree to this kind of thing.

"Oh, so you didn't mean it. Never mind then." The younger one jumped off the bike and walked away from the other.

A sudden urge rushed through Momoshiro. He threw aside his bicycle and wrapped his arms around the beloved young prodigy from the back.

"I meant it! I really meant it! I meant it with all my heart!" As he shouted those words tears streamed down his cheeks with the fear of loosing his precious loved one Ryoma, he who was treasured by the Dunk Smasher Momoshiro ever since they met. He quickly closed his eyes when he felt the other struggling to get out of his embrace, he didn't want to look at Echizen's face when he rejects him.

Something soft touched Momoshiro's face, it wiped off his tears. A surge of warmth went through his body. He opened his eyes just to see a smiling Echizen. This smile was different from his usual arrogant ones. It was filled with affection and sincerity.

"Sure, let's date."

Author's Notes: Yes! My first ever update in AGES. I'm not entirely sure were I was going with this prologue. Hopefully you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it! (Such a cliché line…)

Anyway please review!
