Chapter two: Fuji's POV
Damn you Saeki. You've become way better that last time we played against each other… You can detect every little detail in our play… Even just now. Warning your teammate not to hit the net. It is a perfect lob indeed…
For a mere second I can see a flash of victory in your eyes. True, I cannot move. I cannot reach the ball in time. Nevertheless, do not underestimate us Sae…
A smirk reaches my lips. It is over. This point is ours. And thus, so is the match…
There is nothing that indicates it, yet I know. I know that it will only take a second for you now to be completely up and running.
And I am proven right when all of a sudden you jerk your head up and I can see the socked expressions on our adversaries' faces.
When you turn, your smiling face is a reward.
I know you will reach the falling ball in time. I know you will score the point immediately.
I've always loved playing with you. For lots of different reasons. And you know most of them. Yet there is one reason I will never tell you. For I fear that it might ruin our friendship. A friendship that means too much to me, that I can't bear to see it end… I can't bear to lose you…
But I love you Eiji. I really do…
