Okay I'm gonna try and see how this works out. Please don't kill me if I epic failed at this. I just really needed it to get out of my head. Remember my inspiration was a letter that was aired on KOST 103.5 during the love song dedications.
Disclaimer: No I unfortunately don't own Prince of Tennis
I don't want to hide it any longer.
Stay With Me Baby
It was night and the apartment lights were all off, except for one that is. It belonged to the renowned photographer Fuji Syusuke. He was currently looking through the pictures he took today and listening to the radio. After a few minutes he stood up and stretched his body before heading towards the shower. Then the commercials ended and the letter dedications came up.
Dear Syusuke
Hearing that was enough to stop what he was doing and listened to the radio
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and that I am so glad for the times that we had together. I don't want to hide this relationship anymore, I don't want to use fake names to dedicate a song for us, I want us to be happy together. I know that I am about to another man and that our parents don't want us to be together, but I wanted to let you know that I love you. I want there to be a you and me because you're my one and only and maybe someday in another life we could be together. My secret love Syusuke
Signed
Ryoma
He was shocked and stunned. He remembered the first time he saw her.
Flashback
Fuji was walking to the lake and he spotted a girl by the banks of the river. She was beautiful with long emerald hair that was braided at the end. It swayed ever so gently in the breeze. She had creamy porcelain skin with the most stunning golden eyes. Fuji walked up to her.
"What's a beautiful girl like you doing here?"
She stared and him and scoffed.
"I'm running away from my oyaji."
"Why?"
"Why do you care?"
Fuji chuckled this was a very stubborn and cocky girl.
"I never said that you had to tell me."
"Che mada mada dane1"
"Saa that was mean."
"That's 'cuz you're annoying"
She gave him a good look.
"Why do have your eyes closed all the time?"
"Saa"
"Do you always say that?"
"Saa"
"Idiot" she mumbled.
"So do you mind telling me what's going on now?"
She gave and exasperated sigh
"My oyaji is making me get engaged with the monkey king."
"Who?"
"Atobe Keigo"
"Ah the owner of that multibillionaire company?"
"Yea that's the one."
"So why don't you want to marry him?"
"Because I don't want to be forced to marry someone I don't love."
"And you love another?"
"No, but I want to find one myself."
"That's good to know."
"Speaking of which what's your name"
"Saa I'll only tell you if you tell me your name"
"Its all over the newspaper though."
"True. But I'd like to hear it from you."
She hesitated then responded
"Ryoma"
"Well then its nice to meet you Ryo-chan"
"Since when were we on a pet name basis?"
"Since I said so." Fuji smiled at her.
"Che idiots will always be idiots."
"Now that hurt Ryo-chan."
"You're always smiling though, its kinda creepy."
"Saa"
The two of them were interrupted when they heard someone call Ryoma's name.
"Ryoma!"
"Chibisuke!"
Ryoma sighed
"Looks like their here"
"It was nice talking to you Ryo-chan"
"It wasn't nice with you"
"Saa that hurt"
"It's not like we're gonna meet each other again"
"Saa you never know."
She gave him one of her rare smiles. And started running in the direction of the people then she suddenly stopped.
"Ah I didn't get your name"
But Fuji was gone by then
End of flashback
That's right then we met again two weeks later.
Flashback
It was a nice day Fuji was getting ready for work at the studio. His boss told him that he had a new client today so he had to get a good first impression. When he got there he set up his camera's and lights and started fiddling with his camera. Then he heard the door open. He looked up to see a very familiar golden-eyed girl. She gasped.
"YOU!"
"Ara Ryo-chan what are you doing here."
"I was going for my photoshoot."
"Ah is your last name Echizen"
"Yes."
"Oh good then I'll be your photographer today."
"Eh! You're the famous Fuji Syusuke?!"
"Glad to know that I have spread my popularity."
"Why didn't you tell me your last name?"
"You didn't ask"
"Idiot"
They started the photo shoot after that.
"Ne Ryo-chan do you want to go out with me?"
"Don't you remember I'm engaged?"
"Did that ever stop you?"
"Fuji Syusuke are you telling me that you're attracted to me?"
"And if I am?"
Ryoma smirked and looked him in the eye
"I like you too."
"Even if you're engaged?"
"Yea, because I wouldn't trade you for the world"
End of flashback
It clock struck one o'clock, but Fuji didn't realize this he was too busy looking at the pictures he took of him and his Ryo-chan.
Flashback
"Ryo-chan smile for me."
She turned around and she gave him a sweet smile; it was a beautiful picture, the sakura petals were dancing all around her and the breeze made her hair sway a bit. She had caught a petal in her hands and the petals swirled around her head like a crown. You could have sworn she looked like a princess.
Fuji smiled at this picture.
"Ne Ryo-chan."
"What is it Syusuke?"
"I want to make more memories like these."
Her eyes softened
"So do I Syusuke." Fuji leaned forward and gave her a gentle kiss.
"I love you Ryo-chan." He murmured.
"I love you too, Syusuke."
End of flashback
Fuji gave a bitter smile.
It was after that day that your parents found out and we were separated
He will never forget that day.
Flashback
"Ah Ryo-chan you came!"
"What made you think that I wouldn't come?"
"Saa ne"
They walked to the park and sat by the pond
"I'll always remember this place." Ryoma whispered in a sad tone
"…You may be engaged, but I'll still love you." Fuji said in a hushed tone. Ryoma looked at him with glistening eyes
"I will too." They leaned forward for the kiss
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO MY DAUGHTER?!" The two of them jumped and they saw a very peeved looking man in monk robes with dark skin and short hair. He had the same eyes as Ryoma though.
"Shit it's my oyaji"
"What?" Fuji was confused and scared.
'If this man was Ryo-chans dad then we'll be in so much trouble'
"Oyaji what are you doing here" Ryoma gave Nanjiro a glare
"That's what I'd like to know! What the hell are you doing with this man even though you're engaged!"
"Because I love him!" By now her father was as red as a really ripe tomato and he looked like he was going to explode any minute now. He turned to Fuji.
"I forbid you from ever seeing my daughter again!"
"Oyaji!"
"Ryoma you're already engaged I will not let this hoodlum ruin your marriage!"
Ryoma looked very angry and she glared at her father.
"You forced me into that marriage I didn't have a choice!"
"It was for your own good"
"My own good my ASS! I don't love Atobe!"
"You could learn to!"
"NO because my heart and soul belongs only to Fuji Syusuke!"
Fuji felt touched. It wasn't everyday that you hear something like this. Unfortunatly it wasn't the case with Nanjiro
"I made you married him for your own good."
"Why?"
He was silent, then he grabbed Ryoma and turned to Fuji giving him a menacing glare.
"If I ever see you near my daughter again you will wish that you were dead in hell."
"I'm afraid that if Ryo-chan was not by my side I would already be living a life worse than death, worse than hell, and worse than anything you do to me." Nanjiro was steaming mad, he punched Fuji in the face, much to Ryoma's horror, and dragged his daughter away leaving Fuji there alone.
End flashback
Nothing could stop us though we were still together
Flashback
Fuji was walking to the park Ryoma and he used to go to. It was dark and the park was abandoned the only light was the moonlight that shone. Then he saw a familiar figure standing near the lake. It was Ryoma. Even after a month of being separated he could still tell that it was his Ryo-chan. Her emerald hair shone in the moonlight and her eyes were even more dazzling then before.
"Ryo-chan" She turned her head and he could feel the surprised yet happy look that she gave him.
"Sy-Syusuke?"
"It's me Ryo-chan" She ran to Fuji's outstretched arms and they embraced each other.
"Syusuke I missed you."
"I did too, Ryo-chan"
"I want to stay with you I don't want to marry Atobe"
"We'll figure it out, don't worry we'll get through this together."
"Promise me Syusuke?"
"I promise Ryo-chan." They kissed each other will all the passion and sorrow they had.
End of flashback
Fuji stood up with resolve written all over his face.
I'll keep my promise to you Ryo-chan. We'll be together just wait one more day.
Next day
It was the day of the wedding everyone was excited, except for the groom and bride. Ryoma looked at her reflection in the mirror.
I guess this is it. Goodbye Syusuke.
Ryoma walked down the aisle in her beautiful white wedding gown. She reached the alter and held Atobe's hand. The priest opened the Bible
"We are gathered here today ...."(I'm fast forwarding this)
"…there are many…."(Nope not there yet)
"Do you Atobe Keigo take Echizen Ryoma as your wife?" (There we go!)
"I do
"And do you Echizen Ryoma take Atobe Keigo as you husband"
All the regrets were going through her mind all the love and moments with Fuji were fading and breaking her heart
"…I d-"
"Ryo-chan!" Ryoma spuned around and saw Fuji panting and sweating.
"Syusuke!"
"Ryo-chan is this what you really want?"
"I don't kno-"
"Just tell me what to do and I'll do it!" She knew he would Fuji would never defy her, she could tell him to leave and he will do it, but then she looked at Atobe he nodded his head and smiled. She smiled as well and shouted
"I want to be with you Fuji!"
"Then marry me!" Ryo-chan ran to Fuji's opened arms and picked her up bridal style
"Ryoma you can't do this!"
"Yes she can Echizen-san" Atobe had a triumphant look on his face.
"I will still merge companies with you just not by marriage. It's the 20th century for pete's sake."
Tezuka it looks like we'll be together after all.
Nanjiro looked at Ryoma
"Bishojo is this what you want?"
"Yea." Nanjiro sighed then he smiled at her
"Whatever makes you happy bishojo."
"Thanks Oyaji"
Right then and there Ryoma felt like she finally felt real happiness. They would make it through whatever the obstacle
