Chapter 2-Feeling The Way
Disclaimer: Do Not Owe Prince of Tennis!
Tezuka stared at Ryoma for the longest time, he was about to say something but the doors to the classroom opened.
"Kunimitsu, may I have a moment?"
Tezuka looked to see who it was, "ah, Professor Greene. Of course," he said as he went to stare at Ryoma.
"Echizen, this is Professor Greene. He teaches Biology and the English language," Tezuka said.
The man was as tall as Tezuka, he had blonde hair and white skin, and he has brown eyes.
"This is the famous Ryoma Echizen I've been hearing," Daniel Greene said as he took out his hand for a shake.
Ryoma looked at it and then at Tezuka who didn't do anything as Ryoma looked at the awaiting hand before him, he shook his hand.
"This will be an interesting year I believe," Daniel said with a smile as Ryoma looked and he knew he saw lust within his eyes, Ryoma frowned.
Daniel coughed suddenly, "well then Kunimitsu, should we take our leave then?"
Tezuka nodded, "Echizen, I'll be seeing you tomorrow in class bright and early without being late," he said as Ryoma snorted and he left before the two.
"He looks cute, don't you agree Kunimitsu?" Daniel asked with a smile after Ryoma had left.
"I have no interest in men," Tezuka answered as he knew it wasn't true.
"Besides the fact, weren't you his captain in that tennis team?" Daniel asked as Tezuka didn't say anything, Daniel sighed. "If we don't get a move on, we'll be late for the staff meeting," Daniel said as Tezuka nodded and the two left for the meeting.
Later that night, Tezuka sat at his desk in his apartment as he stared at the computer screen in front of him, he should be working right now, but all in his mind right now, he was thinking of Ryoma Echizen and nothing else. He sighed as he looked at the phone that was sitting by his computer, he stared at it for a moment before picking it up and dialing a familiar number.
"Hello?" The voice asked from the other line.
"Fuji, this is Tezuka," Tezuka said slowly.
"Ah! It's been awhile Tezuka. How's it going?" Fuji asked with a smile even though Tezuka couldn't see it.
"Guess who came into my University?"
"Can it be none other then Echizen Ryoma?" Fuji asked.
"You got that part right," Tezuka said as Fuji chuckled.
"So, did you tell him how you feel?"
"How could I? Another teacher came in right before I got the chance."
Fuji sighed, after the split of the Seigaku tennis team, right after Fuji had found his wife, Tezuka had told him the growing feelings inside him for the young tennis player and he knew it would be too late if he had told him now that the group had broken up and Ryoma had felt devastated right after that moment. He hadn't had the chanced to tell him, not until now.
"I have a feeling there's a 'but' coming in, right?"
"Fuji, you know everything," Tezuka said as he rolled his eyes.
"Hey, stop rolling your eyes on me. Well, what happened during that moment?"
"For some reason, Professor Daniel Greene, I think he has a liking to Ryoma."
"Hmm, looks like you have a competition with you."
"You don't really think that Ryoma will go with him, do you?"
"If you are that worried, then tell him immediately."
"There is another thing in my mind Fuji."
"What is it?"
"Right before Professor Greene had came in, I was telling him about the tennis team in Aichi. I suggested he should participate in it and I will recommend it for him, but he told me 'your not in it' and I was sort of surprised by it."
Fuji cheered, "he has a thing for you Tezuka!"
"Quiet down!" Tezuka hissed.
"This is all too good for me," Fuji said.
"Oh, tomorrow, I might call the rest of the players to have a reunion now that Ryoma is back."
"That's a relief. I was wondering when I could see the others for some time."
"Eiji and Kaidou should be back home now, right?"
"Yea. After a long travel, they want to be home near us," Fuji said excitedly.
Tezuka agreed, "this weekend, we'll be having our reunion for Ryoma Echizen."
