DISCLAIMER: I DON''T OWN POT.

5TH CHAPTER: FIRST WEDDED NIGHT

Ryuzaki Sakuno, I meant Echizen Sakuno got married earlier this day to the number 1 tennis player, Echizen Ryoma. It was already night time and she was now at his or their condominium. As of the moment, Ryoma was out doing something that doesn't concern her and she was left here to ponder the crazy things that has happened in her life in the past days.

She was MARRIED!

She was still wearing her white dress and she still remembered the small ceremony a while ago.

Flashback...

They were gathered in the small church somewhere in Tokyo city. The witnesses, His parents, Najirou and Rinko Echizen sat by the benches and Her Grandmother, Ryuzaki Sumire also sat in the corner watching as her granddaughter is being wedded. And there they are. The two of them standing across each other. Sakuno looked so ravishingly beautiful in her white wedding dress with her hair sophisticatedly curled which was made by Rinko. While Ryoma, looked stunningly handsome in his white suit.

"Do you Ryoma Echizen, take Ryuzaki Sakuno to be your lawfully wedded wife?" They heard the priest say.

Ryoma looked at the blushing Sakuno, this is the girl he would be with forever, "I do" he manly said. Sakuno blushed deeper and got more nervous. This is it. She heard the priest asked his question to her, "I-I do" she stuttered.

"By the power vested by me, I now pronounce you husband and wife you may now kiss the wife"

Ryoma ducked his head down and leveled his face with his wife and slowly pecked her lips. Sakuno didn't knew what to do so she just stood still and waited for the contact of their lips. As soon as she felt his lips upon hers, Shivers was sent down her spine. It was like having her first kiss for the first time. She involuntary kissed him back and cupped his face and the kissing part took longer than necessary. Meanwhile, Ryoma just planned to kissed her swiftly but was surprised when she cupped his face. He unconsciously smirked against her lips.

"*CHOUGH**COUGH**COUGH*!" Sumire CHOUGHED.

They wouldn't have stopped if they didn't notice Sumire but they did. So they slowly parted and stared in each other's eyes. Nanjirou wolf whistled, "You really are my son!" he cheered. Sakuno now is a scarlet colored person.

When the ceremony was over, they were bombarded with hugs and some tears by their guardians, specially Rinko who was ever so thrilled to know that her son was already married to Sakuno. While, Sumire was tearful, knowing that her Sakuno was already an Echizen.

End of Flashback...

Which left them here alone in this house. Ryoma's parents thought that it will be a better idea if they learn to live independently with each other. She remembered Ryoma insisted that it only have one room and Rinko said that he could chose whether to sleep in the bed or in the couch. And since they were already married, Rinko and Nanjirou practically became her parents and they also insisted that they would support her studies and it would be the same school were Ryoma goes to.

"Hey" a husky voice shot her out of her reverie.

"H-Hai?" She jumped out of her seat.

Ryoma walked in the room. "You haven't change?" He asked or simply stated.

"E-to, I'm hmm-"

"You want to eat?" He asked her.

"Yes"

"I'm gonna order pizza then" Ryoma said casually.

"Ano, I'm just going to take a bath" Sakuno said.

"Hn" he disappeared again.

Ryoma ordered pizza.

Actually he was really trying his hardest to make this casual for him and Sakuno. And as much as he really wanted to have a real honeymoon, he didn't want to rush things between him and his wife and besides they already had their honeymoon last, last night, you know what I mean. He was walking towards the refrigerator and was about to get some ponta for the nth time when he saw his wife walking in wearing a cute cotton baby blue pajamas with higuma prints all over, He smirked.

Sakuno was shy. This night was their first night being married and she was thinking that maybe something will happen and she was worried cause she wasn't ready for it. Last time they did it, she was drunk and she didn't remember a thing the next day. She took a long bath and dressed herself with her regular night attire, pajamas. Well, she didn't want to be uncomfortable right? She walked out of the room and saw her husband on the kitchen. She blushed, her husband, HUSBAND! She really wasn't accustomed in saying or thinking of Ryoma as her husband. And she remembered their kiss a while ago in the church. She hated to admit it but it felt nice so now she can't help but be shy in front of her husband.

"Hey" Ryoma greeted.

"Hi" Sakuno greeted back.

Ryoma already change to his casual attire. Tennis shorts and a simple white polo shirt. He glanced at his watch, "I ordered pizza but it's not yet here" he sounded pissed.

"Eto.. Are you hungry?" Sakuno sat on one of the chairs of the dining table near the kitchen.

"I'm starved" he nonchalantly commented.

"I could cook for you" Sakuno said.

Now, that got Ryoma's ears, did she said cook? As in Japanese food? "I don't have food in the fridge" he said.

Sakuno walked over the ref and opened it, it was all ponta! Really, he needs to eat real food. "Eto, there's only ponta in here" she said.

"Hn" Ryoma said, "There's a minimart nearby. Come on, Let's buy" he stood up.

"Wait, I'm wearing pajamas" Sakuno protested.

Well, being the American boy, he didn't find that strange, "That will do" he pulled her wrist lightly.

Sakuno was electrified with the simple contact of his skin.

They were in the elevator, "E-to Ryoma-san-" Sakuno didn't knew what to call him. She couldn't call him Echizen-kun right? Cause she herself is already an Echizen.

"Get rid of the -san" he huffed.

"Ano.. Ryoma-kun?" she tried again.

He looked at her, "Just Ryoma." He said. And they both heard the bell sound of the elevator and the doors flew wide open. Both of them continued walking.

"R-ryoma" she finally said and he smiled. Ryoma was walking ahead of her so she didn't see him smile.

"hn?"

"Y-ou're famous right?" Sakuno asked.

Ryoma could feel his masculine pride building up inside him. he muttered "hn".

"So, if we we're spotted together. Wouldn't be there a commotion?" Sakuno was in deep thought.

Ryoma stopped walking, she was right. He needed to make sure that she would stay out of the media's eyes not for his benefit but for hers. If they knew she was his wife, all his fans might just kill her on the spot. And he couldn't bear the thought of the paparazzi swarming on them everywhere they go.

"Ryoma-kun?" She asked. she really couldn't call him Ryoma just yet.

"You're right" he said to himself. "Do you have your phone with you?" he suddenly asked.

"Eto, I just lost my phone" Sakuno said.

Ryoma muttered incoherently and pulled her wrist to his car. He drove quickly and stopped in front of a gadget store. Sakuno was puzzled, didn't he said to the grocery store? What are they doing here in a gadget shop? "Wait for me. Lock the doors" he commanded. And he leaped out of the car.

Sakuno unlocked the door and waited for him for about 10 minutes. He was carrying a small paper bag in his hand. When he was inside the car, he handed Sakuno a brand new, expensive and sleek white iphone 4.

"What is this?" Sakuno asked, confused. She still didn't take it from him.

"It's a cell phone" Ryoma replied with a isn't-it-obvious tone.

"I know, but why are you giving it to me?" Sakuno needed answers.

"Because you're my wife. So stop asking questions and just take it" he nonchalantly said. Sakuno unsurely took the phone from his hand. And he roared the engine and started driving again.

When they arrived at the grocery store. Sakuno here who's only wearing pajamas was being shy as always. She looked at Ryoma, "Now what?" she asked.

"Walk 20 steps ahead of me" he said. She was ever so confused and she came to a conclusion that he was making fun of her. But well, she obeyed. When she was 20 steps ahead of him she mouthed the words "What Now?". Ryoma smirked at his wife's adorableness. He snatched his black iphone from his pocket and started dialing the numbers...

Sakuno's brows was starting to burrow. Is this some kind of a joke? She was beginning to think. She noticed her new phone ringing, she glanced at the caller ID and it indicated...Ryoma calling...

She answered it. "Is this some kind of a joke?" she asked.

He was fighting a smile, "No" he said to the other line.

"Then what are we doing?"

"It was your idea" he said.

"Huh?" Sakuno was beyond confused.

"If the people see us together, It will be front page tomorrow" he said.

"Oh" she understood.

"Now, you can start walking and scan for the things you need" he said.

"I don't have a cart" Sakuno said.

"That would be my role" he pulled a cart to him.

"Okay" she said.

She walked and walked until she was in the vegetable area. "What do you want to eat?" she asked through the phone.

He was observing her 20 steps behind, he was kind of enjoying this. "Japanese food" he replied.

"You like Japanese food?"

"Hn"

"'kay I need this cabbage, the small one. Okay?" she said and started to walk again.

"Hn" he picked the small cabbage and put it in the cart that was when he heard two girls approaching him.

"Ryoma-sama. Can I have an autograph" the girl was sweating and she seemed to be fainting anytime soon. "Do you have a pen?" he asked. "Hai!" she quickly handed it to him and he signed it quickly. "THANK YOU SO MUCH RYOMA-SAMA!" the two of them squealed in chorus.

"Shhh, not too loud" he didn't want to have an autograph signing right now, he was hungry.

The two of the fan girls nodded simultaneously.

After the two fan girls left, Ryoma placed his phone over his ears again.

"Is that your fan girls?" Sakuno's sweet voice asked.

"Hn, annoying fan girls" he grumpily said.

"Hey, don't be like that. You should be thankful that they adore you"

He huffed. If only she knew what did those lunatics has done to him ever since he debuted as a tennis player. So many horrible stuffs, he didn't wanted to think about it.

They continued to shop like that until they were finished and they go back to their unit and Sakuno started cooking. Ryoma could smell the scent of the food she was cooking. After minutes of waiting, it was already prepared at the table. "Ittadakimasu" Sakuno muttered before eating.

It was so delicious, She really could cook and he was happy for that. Sakuno was staring strangely at him like she was expecting him to say something, he looked at her.

"Is it good?" Sakuno was anxious to hear his answer.

"Hn. It's good" he honestly said.

Sakuno sighed. "Yokatta! Didn't want my husband to think that I can't cook" she bragged cutely.

Ryoma looked at her. Some feelings of fulfillment overwhelmed him when he heard her say that 'my husband' part, and again she realized what she said and blushed furiously. He smirked.

After cleaning the dishes it was bed time. Sakuno was already laying at the bed, when she felt the bed moved because of someone's weight. She quickly turned around and saw Ryoma positioning himself to the bed. She questionably stared at him.

"What?" he asked.

She just stared at him.

"The bed is big for the two of us. And don't worry I won't do anything" he said as if reading her mind.

Leaving her with no choice, she also positioned herself to sleep. "Oyasumi, Ryoma-kun" she sweetly said.

"hn" Ryoma also said his goodnight.

Both of them lost consciousness in the matter of minutes.

What a way to spend their first night together.
