Aaaahh. The vast blue sky decorated by cotton-like clouds while the sun plays hide-and-seek with them. And cool air that makes the leaves and skirts dance.
"aaahh! what a nice day." My small and spiky brunette haired friend said as he stretch his arms upward.
"yeah, you're right! today is a very nice day to be out and play." I said and gave him a small smile.
"Tch! Today would have been perfect if you weren't here, woman!" shouted by my other handsome companion with a white octopus-like hairstyle.
I sighed not wanting to ruin the good vibes and said "saaa, Gokudera-sama don't worry I promise that I'll be good." and winked at him which made his cheeks go pink.
"today we are going to watch Yamamoto-kun's game.. I'm really excited!" I said after passing by a few blocks.
"Tsk! that baseball-freak should win or I'll screw him for taking up my weekend with jyuudaime." Gokudera-kun hissed
"I hope Takeshi and his team win today" Tsuna-kun said enthusiastically.
After a few minutes and some cursing from Gokudera, we have reached Namimori high.
"hiiiee! t-there are so many people" Tsuna-kun squeaked
"d-don't worry jyuu-" Gokudera-kun is about to say something when a gust of wind came rushing towards us.
"Hahi! Tsuna-kun! You're here too? Haru is definitely happy for coming here." My chocolate haired friend said with love as she hugged Tsuna-kun.
"Hiiiee! H-haru-chan! w-what are you d-doing here" Tsuna-kun asked as his blushed while struggling to be free from Haru-chan's hug.
I couldn't help but let out a small giggle... which was a bad idea for it annoyed even more our octopus haired friend.
"Damn you! waddya think you're doing to tenth?! You vulgar woman!" Gokudera-kun suddenly shouted "And you! what are you laughing at!?" he pointed to Haru-chan then to me as he tried pulling Haru-chan away from Tsuna-kun while Haru-chan desperately cling to the now beaten brunette.
"ah Tsuna-kun and everyone! good afternoon" my demure, oranged head friend said.
...Namimori's most beautiful student was now standing right in front of us.
"Oh good afternoon kyoko-chan!" I greeted her back and gave her a shy smile.
Haru-chan suddenly lets go of Tsuna-kun and hugged Kyoko-chan instead. "Kyoko-chan, I'm sorry for being late but but I was just so happy when I saw Tsuna-kun.." Haru said as Kyoko-chan patted her back telling her that it was okay.
I looked back to Tsuna-kun and asked him if he was okay, he nodded at me and gave me his reassuring smile while Gokudera-kun clicked his tongue out of annoyance.
"Go-good aaff-ternoon to you,too...Kyoko-chan" Tsuna-kun said while looking down with his cheeks now colored in pink.
And when everything was okay, we- I, Tsuna-kun,Gokudera-kun, Haru-chan and Kyoko-chan, went into the school grounds and proceeded to the field. We sat on the first row of the middle bleachers.
"Hahi! we're so lucky our seats get the best view of the field." Haru-chan shouted in delight while Kyoko-chan and Tsuna-kun nodded.
"yeah! and even though there are some people here, we still found a nice seat. we really are lucky todaaaay!" I answered back without taking my eyes out off the field.
"Uunn. This must be good luck." Kyoko-chan added.
And after a few minutes, the game finally began. Namimori was up against last year's champion and almost the entire Namimori high student's population was watching.
"whoo! Nami-chuu!" someone in the back shouted.
"Takeshi! You're so cool kyaaa!" a girl from somewhere shouted
"Oi Nami-chuu! Do you're best!" a deep voice shouted
"kyaa! - I! a group of fangirls cheered... And everyone became quiet and looked at the group of fangirls dressed in a blue polo dressed with each forming the word 'love' and with a big hat that spelled Takeshi on each.
"pfft." Haru-chan and I giggled while Kyoko-chan gave us an amused smile. And Gokudera just scowled at the sight of the girls and disgust was evident in his eyes whereas Tsuna just deadpanned and remembered a particular someone as eccentric to wear such outfits.
.The crowd was really loud, Yamamoto-kun who is the star player of the team was in his best condition.
After two hours, Nami-chuu's oponent is leading by two points. It seems the opponent really does live up to being last year's champions..
It was down to the last set where Namimori is to bat. There are two runner, one at second base and first base and Yamamoto-kun is next to bat.
...
...
The tension in the whole area is heavy. All the cheerings have stopped and only the gust of wind can be heard.. Yamamoto-kun swinged his bat twice before signalling a go for the pitcher..
The ball was finally released and the pitcher threw a curve ball..
swish!
.."Strike one!" the umpire announced. The crowd let out a disappointed sigh... while Yamamoto-kun concentrates on the pitcher while the his group of fangirls started their chants, again.
"Yamamoto-kun, you can do it.." Haru-chan whispered... I smiled at her and gave her a thumbs-up to reassure her that Yamamoto-kun will hit it.
Swish!
tap! I heard the ball made contact to the bat.
..."Fault!" the umpire announced. I could hear some sighing at my back and some girls cry. And I even heard Gokudera-kun clicked his tongue again
I was looking around.. when I felt like someone was looking at me.. and there I saw that the popular baseball player was looking at our direction.
I instinctively stood up "Yamamoto-kun just relax, you can do it!" I shouted without even thinking and the whole crowd was silent..yet again and Yamamoto-kun, amidst the crowd was now looking straight at me with a reassuring smile plastered on his face.
...And the third ball was released. It was a sinker! A ball that Yamamoto-kun had a hard time hitting. I closed my eyes and prayed..
...
...
Clank!
I heard the sound of wood as it hit something hard. And when I half-opened my eyes the crowd were all standing and cheering. Even Haru-chan and Kyoko-chan were standing there hands clasped together.
"Homeruuuuuuun!" someone shouted. And my eyes immediately opened wide while my mouth hanged open.
"he did it!" Tsuna-kun said as he looked at me in the eyes and smiling ever so wide.
"Yeah!" I said as I high fived Tsuna-kun and we both giggled while Gokudera-kun sighed in relief.. so even Gokudera-kun is worried..
And with that Namimori won with the lead of one point. A very close match, indeed. Everyone in the crowd cheered so loud, even Yamamoto-kun's fangirls while they jumped and twirled up in the air like monkeys.
It was gettimg really rowdy in the field now when Tsuna-kun suggested to leave, we all went to the entrance gate of Nami-chuu..aah! It was very peaceful here..
And upon waiting for a certain star player Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan and I talked about the new cake shop near the train station while Tsuna-kun tried calming his impatient right hand man.
It's been almost half an hour now after the game ends and Gokudera's mood is now at its worst when we heard laughter from behind. We looked behind in unison and there it was the whole Namimori's baseball team, all smiling ear to ear.
Us, three girls looked at each other and nodded. "Congratulations on winning!" the three of us said as we bowed our heads in respect. The players grew quiet and they all started to blush.
"Mmm.. Arigatou minna!" Yamamoto-kun was the first one to react as he stepped forward and flashed us a wide grin.
"yeah, thanks for supporting us!" and all players bowed as they removed their hats.
Gokudera just clicked his tongue in annoyance as he muttered "stupid baseball-freaks" under his breath while Tsuna-kun bowed and congratulated them as well.
We congratulated the players and Yamamoto-kun bid farewell to his teammates. We were all now heading to Tsuna-kun's house to celebrate Yamamoto's victory.
"haa.. Why are we even celebrating at my place?" Tsuna-kun sighed in exhaustion of just thinking of how troublesome things might get.
"because I said so!" Suddenly a deep voice spoke. And Tsuna-kun who was leading the group came at an abrupt stop, his face turning paler and paler.
"hiiieee! R-reborn w-what are you d-doing here?" Tsuna-kun squeaked while he shivered at the sight of his tutor.
And their usual banters continued as we made our why to the Sawada residence. While a small smile escaped through my lips at the peaceful sight.
"Arigatou!" Yamamoto-kun suddenly said as he bumped his elbow to mine breaking my reverie.
I looked up at his mesmerizing eyes as I raised my eyesbrow in confusion.
"Haha! for cheering me on, arigatou. You really helped me there" Yamamoto-kun said as he looked up in the sky while scratching his nose bridge and for some reason his face was pink.
I smiled and copied what he did and then punched his arm and giggled... it continued that way, the fluffy atmosphere lasted until we reached the Sawada residence.
