So, I agree, Sawamura fits with Miyuki as well. But I have this horrible obsession, that I cannot ship one person with different people. i have to have me ships sorted. Preferably with every character happy. And so I ship Miyuki with Furuya and Eijun with Chris, which is super cute anyway :3 Although i cannot stand this stupid bastard. He reminds me too much of a certain angry german boy -_-
'The new first-string players are first-year Haruichi Kominato, and another first-year Eijun Sawamura! That's all'
One would expect, that for Sawamura, who's dream was to become ace pitcher, the coaches words would be like the first flash of light you see at the end of a long tunnel. But they weren't. Quite the opposite to say the truth. For him it meant to be separated from Chris-sempai. Why now?! He had finally managed to gain some of the older boys trust, he had finally understood his suffering and even played with him. And He saw that the man tried, he tried his very best and managed outstandingly, although his shoulder was still not fully healed. So why?! Why did coach choose him, a mere first year above a fantastic catcher like Chris-sempai. It wasn't fair!
'Oi! Shut up and stop crying already!' Kuramochi yelled from the bunk above Sawamura's. But the boy didn't listen. He continued to sniffles, curled up in his blanked. It was just so unfair! Chris-sempai had deserved it more than him! And even though it was his dream to become the ace pitcher, he also wanted to form a battery with the older catcher above everything else! So why where they suddenly so far apart?!
'Chris-sempai! Please do something about him! He's been crying all night long again, and it's a fuckin nuisance you know!', Kuramochi begged the older man. 'Hu? Sawamura? I thought he had recovered yesterday!', the catcher answered surprised. But apart from the guilt and the worry he felt towards his pitcher, there was something else, something he didn't want to be there: happiness. It was just a tiny spark, but it worried him. Had he falls so hard, that he was already happy if the younger boy missed him?! In any case he could not burden the team with this any longer. Sawamura could pretend to be happy astoundingly well, but his pitches would lack something if they didn't come from the heart. 'I'll try', the catcher answered and walked away, trying to come up with a way to cheer the pitcher up. Which proved itself as rather difficult. It was one thing to motivate him to pitch and take the difficult job of correcting his form, but it was a whole different thing if the normally hyper and stupidly happy boy was behaving like that. Well, lets start with talking to him, Yuu thought to himself.
