Disclaimer: You should know the drill by now. So let's not waste Yukimura's screen time or Akaya will get you! Kudos to Konami! Weeee (:

Author's Note: I'm not a rabid Rikkai Dai fan, so pardon me if I make any silly boo-boos. Oh and is anyone interested in being a beta-reader? I need someone who is brutally honest and a radical PoT fan preferably. Drop me a message?

P.S. One-sided Kirihara x Yukimura if you squint and hints of Yukimura x Sanada.


Yukimura Seiichi

'Bad news sure travel fast,' the formidable Rikkai Dai Tennis Club captain thought. It was a day after his confession and the whole team was extra careful around him. If it hadn't happened to him personally, he might even laugh it off. But alas…

"Buchou, how can you look fukubuchou in the eye as though nothing happened?"

"Patience, Akaya."

There it was again, the famous you-will-understand-when-you-grow-older-tone that he always bestowed upon his favourite kouhai.

"But Niou-senpai told me that fukubuchou rejected you!"

"And you believe the Trickster?" Yukimura had this little mysterious smile on his lips that scared Akaya a little. He had no clue to how his beloved buchou's mind worked.

"Besides, Genichirou rejects everyone."

"But you're Yukimura buchou! You're not everyone!"

Yukimura couldn't help but smile at his youngest regular's obvious idolization. Akaya was still too young to understand the complexities of human relationships.

"Akaya, love is a funny thing," Yukimura returned his attention to the practice match between Genichirou and Renji. The stoic vice-captain seemed unnaturally disturbed. Missing simple shots while Renji had the easy upper hand.

"The line between love and hate is very thin. If one is not careful, it can evolve into something ugly."

"But buchou is not capable of anything ugly!"

With kind eyes and a sad smile, Yukimura faced his petulant kouhai. "Akaya, if Genichirou cannot learn to love me more than a friend, then friends it is."

"But fukubuchou is being a stupid…" Those gentle teal orbs were not as certain as it should be.

Akaya felt an indignant rage rise in him. "No more buts, break time is over. Your practice match with Jackal is long overdue."

Akaya may not understand but he knew if he had the chance, he would never make buchou smile like that. He was determined to crush fukubuchou even if it kills him.

Little did Akaya know was that his buchou's love was unconditional.


Owari! Reviews will be much appreciated. Cheers (:

P.S. Sorry if this is a little short and OOC, I think I may need to re-watch PoT a bit ):
