A/N: I guess a pathetic attempt at an Omake? :P hahaha Thanks for liking the first chappie~


From afar, I saw my favorite little freshmen, not that I'll admit it, on the tennis court hitting the tennis ball against the wall. Thinking I might be able play a match or so with him, I walked a little closer. It was strange that he didn't turn around, cause he had the most annoying sense of hearing and it was almost impossible to creep up on him.

I stopped walking when I saw him miss the return against the wall. I thought he was trying to take his mind off… recent events… So I guess his miss was understandable… but for Echizen Ryoma to miss against the wall?

I took a step back, expecting a blow, but he laughed. He frickin' laughed.

"Senpai, go easy on me a little!" He laughed, turning around the pick up the abandoned ball. "Geez Momo senpai always hitting the ball so hard…"

That's when I saw it.

My soul literally felt like it was burning to see the once vibrant eyes so unfocused, having an almost deranged look in his eyes. He was smiling as if he'd just let everything go. His eyes dilated, his body scrunched, permanent tear stains running down his cheeks, his constant conversation with himself… He wasn't the cocky bastard we used to know and love…

I swallowed hard when he faced the wall and got ready to serve.

"Here I go senpai!" He shouted, once again starting his relay with the wall.
