Lady Monozuki: Okay, you all made me seriously happy. I got six reviews and I was elated, to say the least. So, thank you all for the wonderful reviews! You are the best!

Chapter Six: Practice

He hit the ball against the wall again, aiming for the same spot. The yellow ball landed slightly to the left this time. A scowl formed on his face. No matter how many times he tried to hit that one spot, the control was never there. He caught the ball instead of hitting it again; deciding that two hours of practice would be enough for today. Besides, he needed to rehydrate. He walked over to where he put his tennis bag and replaced the racquet before closing the blue bag. A cool can pressed against his warm cheek. He turned around to see a familiar smiling face.

"You looked thirsty," the person stated.

"Thanks," he muttered before taking the can. He opened it up and took a sip, delighting in the taste. After a couple of seconds, he took another sip. The two of them headed over to two tall trees. They sat down, making themselves comfortable, before starting any conversation.

"Did your control improve any?"

"A little, but my left hand is still better."

"Saa, but practice makes perfect."

"I disagree," he muttered.

A chuckle escaped from the other person. "That's so like you, Ryoma."

"Whatever."

"I'm curious to know what makes you disagree."

He took a sip before sighing. "Practice makes habit. You play every day to make sure that your body remembers the movements. If you practice the wrong way for so long, your muscles will react based off of memory, thus increasing the chance of injury. However, if you practice perfectly, you reinforce good habits."

Another chuckle met his words. He frowned.

"What's so funny, Syuusuke?"

"I didn't expect you to come up with something like that. Where did you learn that from anyway?"

He snorted. "You."

"Saa, so you do learn something when you come over to my house."

Yeah, I learn one useless fact and end up with five hundred more questions.

"I'm surprised I even learn anything when we're there, especially when I do homework there. Lately, you seem more interested in making out in various places of the house."

"That's because I can't get enough of you."

He frowned. "Yeah right, you see me every day at school, and after as well. Then you schedule dates on weekends, and when I am alone, you find me. I call this stalking."

Silence greeted his words. He took another drink of his Ponta.

"I bought you a drink, didn't I?"

"Is that supposed to be a peace offering?"

"Saa, will you accept it as one?"

He glared at the person sitting next to him. "Yadda."

"I expected that answer from you. I guess you've left me no choice then," his boyfriend said.

"What are you talking about?"

His boyfriend leaned in and kissed him softly. After the shock wore off, he relaxed and returned the kiss. After a few moments, they broke apart.

"You know Ryoma, you've gotten better at kissing, maybe it's all the perfect practice we do."

So, I got asked if I was going to write a chapter on Ryoma/Syuusuke's date (you know, the one with the dress). I decided to leave it up to you guys. So you all can vote with your reviews. I have ideas of what to do if I was to write a chapter, but I want your opinion. So please vote/review. The poll ends whenever I post the next chapter.
