So, I've recently started watching Prince of Tennis. I don't usually do this, but I've written a fic for it, even though I've only seen 24 episodes...Hopefully it's okay anyway.

Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis. :sigh:

Warnings: Mildly implied GP, but other than that...nothing, really.

Nothing

Someone told me a joke once.

I watch as my doubles partner chases after the tennis ball, catching up to it easily before its second bounce. My own match is over, and I haven't been assigned another opponent, as practice will be over within the next few minutes.

Why should you never date a tennis player?

I lean back against the fence. Through my tennis jersey, I can feel the heat of the sun-warmed chain links. They make a scratching, metallic noise as they scrape against the ground.

Oishi returns another shot. I can see the faint sheen of perspiration on his skin.

Because love means nothing to them.

Again the violently-colored orb flies over the net. Oishi returns it hard and fast; it bounces right on the line. A point. I cheer.

Oishi turns and sees me grinning at him. He smiles back and flashes a quick thumbs-up before returning his attention to the match. My smile stays firmly planted on my face.

Maybe I'm just different.

But love has always meant something to me.

There you have it, my first try at PoT fanfiction. I hope it was okay.
