2 - Jersey
It has been two days since I've joined the Rikkai guys, and had been staying with Sei-chan at his house. We had just finished practice, and I was still stuck with Bunta's jersey.
Changing back to the Rikkai uniform behind the lockers, I buttoned up the short sleeved blouse, pulled on the dark bluish-green skirt, and tied my tie before pulling on my blazer.
" Yukiko-chan, you done?" Sei-chan asked.
" Yep! You can come on behind." I said putting the jersey into my bag.
" You can return the jersey to Bunta already. We'll be going to get your jersey later. Hurry." he smiled gently.
" Really?" I sparkled.
" Yea." he nodded.
" Marui-senpai! Thanks for lending me your jersey!" I said and handed him back the jersey.
" Err... welcome...?" he clearly was not used to it.
We bid goodbye to the rest of the club members, and made our way to the train station. As we walked, Sei-chan talked to me about the time when he went to collect the jerseys with Sanada and Yanagi.
Laughing at Sanada's antics, we arrived at the Kanagawa Special Jersey Design shop. Entering, I saw many self-designed jackets and shirts.
" Shop keeper, I'm Yukimura from Rikkaidai. I've come to collect the jersey." Sei-chan gave his beautiful smile to the shop keeper.
" Yukimura-sama, okay, size small, am I right? Please check if there's anything wrong." the shopkeeper placed the jersey that was packed in a plastic wrapper on the counter top.
" Yukiko-chan, come here." he said.
Walking there, Sei-chan took the jersey out, and slid it over my shoulders.
" Perfect fit. Thank you." he told the shopkeeper.
" Okay, please sign here. The costs have been paid by your school." he said.
" Thank you very much." Sei-chan repeated before we left the shop.
Once outside, I tried to take off the jersey.
" Don't take it out. It looks great on you." Sei-chan said.
" But its weird..." I replied.
" Shall I wear mine with you?" he asked.
" Eh?" I asked.
He took it as a yes, and put on his jersey over his shoulders along with me.
" There, we're the same now." he grinned.
" Mou, Sei-chan..." I gave him a face-palm.
" Isn't it great, you won't have to wear Bunta's jersey anymore. Wear it as sort of a celebration, and maybe for me too." he said, back facing the setting sun.
" Sei-chan, I do anything about the fact that I'm enrolled in Seigaku, and that we're rivals to Rikkaidai..." I sighed.
" I know. So I'll content myself with the limited time you're here." he smiled, took my hand and started on a slow jog.
Just like that, the two of us jogged back to Sei-chan's house.
Back home, after I bathed, I sat in my shared room with Seira-chan, Sei-chan's younger sister, looking at my new jersey, with the choice of a pair of shorts, the long pants and a white tennis skirt, as Sei-chan went to use the bathroom.
" Yukiko-chan! I'm home!" came Seira's voice.
" Welcome home." I took my jersey along.
" Woah! Yukiko-chan! You've got the jersey already? Your tennis must be really great! I really want to join the tennis club when I get into Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku." she took my jersey from me and admired it.
" Welcome home Seira." came Sei-chan's voice from the direction of the bathroom.
Looking there, we found Sei-chan wearing a light blue shirt, and a pair of long white pants, with his towel drapped about his shoulders and his hair still damp.
" Omigosh! Nii-chan's killer looks..." Seira pretended to nosebleed and faint onto the ground, with my jersey going along with her.
" Seira, get up from the floor. If you want to get into Rikkaidai, please work doubly hard." Sei-chan advised.
" Fine!" she immediately got up, handed me my jersey and headed into our room.
" Sei-chan, dry your hair. You'll catch a cold and Gen-chan would definitely kill you for it." I reminded him.
" I'll do it later." he said and walked back to his room smiling to himself.
The next morning, I got woken up by Sei-chan knocking on the door at 5 am in the morning.
" S-Sei-chan...?" I asked drowsily.
" Shh... We've got practice this morning. Don't wake Seira up. Quietly. Hurry go get ready." he smiled at my sleepy face.
Washing up, I went to the kitchen in my pyjamers. There, Sei-chan was making us breakfast still in his pyjamers too.
" Want my help?" I asked.
" Sure. You can make tea right? Or do you want milk or orange juice?" Sei-chan offered.
" Tea's fine." I said and set out making it.
After breakfast, we changed into our jerseys and packed our school uniforms into our bags. I had chose to wear the usual, white tennis shorts. Meeting Sei-chan at the living room, he kind of scanned me from head to toe before revealing a smile and taking my hand to leave the house.
" I think the jersey really fits you." he repeated his words from yesterday.
" Thank you." I replied.
" But you should wear the skirt sometimes too." he grinned.
" Ahem, I'm at the male side. Not female." I said.
" Its okay. Everyone in Rikkaidai knows that you're a girl, and that your skills are good enough to be together with the males." Sei-chan said.
" But its not easy to convince them that my skills are good enough." I said.
" I'll be there to vouch for you when that happens." Sei-chan ruffled my hair.
Seira-chan: Nii-chan's so pretty with his hair wet.
Alya: Seira-chan, "pretty" is not a word to describe guys...
Sei-chan: That's right... * grins smugly *
Seira-chan: But Nii-chan's really beautiful... * fan girls *
Melody: Its kind of weird seeing Seira-chan fan girl over you, Sei-chan... * sweat drops *
Sei-chan: Don't worry. She always does this. * grins *
Alya: Well, I'm being left out of the conversation * crys * But whatever. Review if you like! Thanks you! * bows deeply *
