First time POT!!!!
Disclaimer: according to my passport I'm not Takeshi Konomi... if I were, oh the changes there would be...
------------------------------------------------
The first time's of Hirakoba Rin.
#1
The first time Rin knew he wanted to play Okinawa martial arts, was also the first time he saw Kite Eishiro. When he saw the boy practice on the beach, the sun dancing on his skin and his eyes full of determination, he pulled his father's sleeve, and pointed at the boy. "Daddy, what is he doing? It looks really cool!" "That, my boy, is Okinawa Martial Arts. Would you like to try it?" Rin looked at his father, a happy smile on his face. "Yes, daddy, I'd love to!"
------------------------------------------------
#2
The first time Rin can remember he cried, was when his father left his family. He doesn't remember much of that day, except that it wasn't a good thing that his dad was packing stuff in the car. When he felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked in the eyes of his sister. "Where is daddy going, Reika? Will he be back?" His sister looked at him and lifted him up. "No, sweetie. Dad is going to live with another woman. He won't come home." That was the first time (in his memory) that Rin cried.
----------------------------------------------
#3
The first time that Rin ever felt hatred to someone, was when he met his father's new wife. When his best friend asked him why he hated her, he said; "She smelled like Goya!"
------------------------------------------
#4
The first time Rin ever felt proud of himself, was when he won the Okinawa Martial Arts Tournament, a week after his 11th birthday. When he got the golden medal, he wore it for a week. Even the teachers at school were proud of him, because for that entire week, he didn't got any detention. Not even when he put superglue on Miyaki-sensei's chair. Off course, the week after that, he got two detentions on Monday alone...
------------------------------------------
#5
The first time Rin felt really small, was when he actually met Kite Eishiro for the first time. It was during the Okinawa MA tournament, a year after he won the first place. When he saw the guy, with his wannabe Elvis hair, he was sure he was gonna beat him. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. That guy beat him in four minutes flat. The way he towered over him after the match was done, really made Rin question his Martial Art abilities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#6
The first time Rin thought that he couldn't think of anything to say, was right after his match with Kite. That guy walked right up to him and said; "Hirakoba-kun, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful match. Have you ever considered playing tennis?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#7
The first time Rin ever held a tennis racket, he asked himself why the hell he ever agreed to go to Higa chuu, and play for their tennis team. Cause he sucked at tennis. He couldn't even hit the ball when it was his throw...or serve or whatever those tennis people called it. He was about to give up, when Kite walked up to him, and said; "Hirakoba-kun, I noticed you had some trouble with you tennis. Would you like me to help you?" Rin looked at him with a look that said 'leave-or –its-my –foot-up-your-ass' and tried to walk away. Suddenly a hand on his upper arm stopped him. "Where do you think you're going, Hirakoba-kun? It's still tennis practice."
Rin glared at him. "In case you haven't noticed, Kite, I suck at tennis. I never played it before. The only other sport I played before was Okinawa Martial Arts, which doesn't involve a racket or a ball. So, about where I'm going, I'm going home, and try if I can go back to my old school, thank you very much." Kite looked at him , and Rin couldn't look away from his dark eyes. "Hirakoba-kun, if you do not stay for practice, I will make you eat Goya." Rin stared at him, and suddenly he couldn't help but smile. "Fine, fine. Anything but Goya."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
#8
They had lost. They made it to the Nationals, but were defeated by some school named Seigaku. Three years they spent training like they were training for war, or something like that. And now, that was over.
But even though they lost, Rin felt happy. Seigaku was a damned good opponent, and he enjoyed the match he played with Chinen. In the bus on the way home, Rin was the only one with a smile on his face. "What are you smiling about, Rinrin?" Kai suddenly asked. "We lost, remember? You were defeated by that creepy smiley guy?" Rin looked around. Everyone was staring at him. Everyone except Kite. "First of all, don't ever call me Rinrin again. It is disturbing. Secondly, why is everyone looking like we just came from a funeral? Yeah, we all lost. Hell, even Kite lost. But, guys, we made it to the fucking Nationals! We defeated Rokkaku, a National classed school! We almost defeated Seigaku! We showed all of those schools that we, Higa chuu, are here, and that we are here to fucking stay!"
Finally, Kite looked at Rin. "Hirakoba-kun is right. We shouldn't mope around, but better ourselves from this experience. We all played very good games, and should be proud." Instantly, the mood was lifted, and even Chinen cracked a smile. Kite smiled, he smiled, at Rin, and Rin suddenly felt like he was flying. "But Hirakoba-kun?" "Yes Ei- ehm, Kite?" 'What the hell, am I stuttering?' "I will make you eat Goya for cursing."
"EEEEH??"

# 9
The first time Rin knew he was in love, he tried to kill himself.
No really, he did.
He found his mothers sleeping pills, and took about 20 of them to his room. There, he lay down on his bed, took them all, and drank the bottle of sake he stole from the supermarket. At first, he felt no different. Then, after a while, he began to feel drowsy and funny, like his head was filled with cotton.
He could hear his sister call to him that dinner was ready. 'No, don't come in yet. You can't see me like this, I'm not dead yet' He heard her knocking on his door. "Rinrin-chan? Are you awake? Dinner is ready." He loved Reika, he really did. She would understand if he told her he was...well...in love with a boy. He couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. Huh, he never realised how relaxing it was in the darkness beneath his eyes. He could easy fall asleep... he heard his sister scream in the distance, yelling that he should stay awake. 'I don't want to stay awake, don't you get it.'
Suddenly he woke up. He was in a room he didn't know. The walls were white, the curtains were white, everything was white. He felt something wet on his hand. He looked down. His sister looked at him, with tears in her eyes. "You fucking idiot, how could you do something so stupid." she cried, and then suddenly embraced him. Rin tried to speak, but his throat was on fire. "Don't try to talk, they emptied your stomach. You almost died, you idiot." Reika looked at him, and gave him something. It was the note he wrote to her and his mother, about why he did it. "I didn't read it. You should rest, while I tell mom that you were awake. Don't do anything stupid while I'm away." Rin looked at her, and then the note. He opened it, reading again what he wrote.
Dear mom, dear Reika,
Please don't hate me for what I did. I know that what I'm doing is something a coward would do, but I see no other way out.
You always told me stories on how a princess would meet a prince, and they would fall in love and they would live happily ever after. Well, I fell in love to. But not with a princess, but a prince.
You know him, his name is Kite Eishiro, he was my old tennis captain in middle school. I think I was in love with him since the Nationals, so that's three years now.
I can't keep on living with this lie, dating girls because its the right thing to do and keep on smiling with Kite in class when I really want to kiss him. I'm just so tired.
Again, I'm very sorry for all the pain I caused you. If I can make one final request, please don't tell Eishiro about this, and don't show him this note. I love him too much to cause him pain.
With love,
Hirakoba Rin.
He crumpled the note into a ball, and tried to throw in the trashcan, but he missed and the note rolled to the door. He was about to get up, when the door opened, and Kite walked in the room. He looked at Rin and then at the note on the floor. Rins eyes widened in horror when Kite picked the note up, and began to read it.
'O shit, oh, mother of all fucking shits. He is gonna hate me for sure. He is gonna break my face and never gonna speak to me again!'Rin decided to hid under the covers, when he heard a chuckle. He peeked over his blanket to Kite who looked at him. Kite threw the note in the trashcan, walked to Rins bed and grabbed his hand.
"I love you to, you idiot."
Rin never felt better.
