On the day before my birthday, my team mates gave to me…
To say Sengoku Kiyosumi was bored would be an understatement. He was beyond bored. He was uninterested, blasé, dull, fatigued, inattentive, sick and tired, spiritless, tired... The opposite of enthusiastic, excited, exhilarated, interested…
And apparently looking up boredom in the thesaurus was not the answer.
Everyone he knew now a days were paired up with someone else. Was there no one left for him? He wasn't picky, he didn't care! He just felt lonely, and wanted someone to actually spend today with…
Because today was a special day for him! I mean, it's not every day you turn 16… But then, for him, he felt every birthday was special, and worth celebrating.
And he didn't really need his team mates to remember that it was his birthday. Nor did he need the few friends he'd made on the tennis circuit to acknowledge that it was his birthday… They didn't even know!
But any teenage guy wouldn't want to be alone on his birthday, even if it were just his team mates, or his friends. Sometimes he just felt so left out.
So what does a teenage boy who's bored on their birthday do?
Why, they go play tennis, of course!
But because it was a Saturday, Sengoku just had to put up with the fact that he'd have to check out the newly renovated street courts. He didn't mind; maybe he could find some of his friends, and they could rally a bit…
But his eagerness to play tennis was dashed when he got to the street courts only to see them packed. Nearlly every tennis court was full! He couldn't see any of his friends from where he was standing, because of all the people, so he sighed. This day just seemed to be getting worse and worse for him…
He turned around, and started back down the street. Maybe he could get a few burgers on the way home… Then again, that might ruin his favourite home made birthday dinner… Maybe some pockie from the store would do…
"Oi! Sengoku!" came a voice from behind him, and Sengoku spun around, surprised at hearing his captain's voice. And sure enough, there was Misami-buchou, standing with Muromachi and Dan-kun.
"Buchou! What are you lot doing here?!" he asked, surprised, as Dan-kun started jumping up and down.
"It's a surprise desu! You have to come and see desu!" he yelled, before turning around and heading back towards the tennis courts, not looking back. Muromachi and Misami shook their heads, before turning to Sengoku.
"Who let him have sugar anyway…" Muromachi asked, before turning to look at Sengoku. "Come on, Sengoku, everyone's waiting."
"Everyone?" Sengoku asked, bewildered, and Misami just smiled.
"Come on, you'll see," he said, and the three of them headed back to the tennis courts, and the entire crowded tennis courts turned to look at him.
"Oi! Sengoku-kun!"
"Momoshii-kun!"
"You're late, Sengoku."
"Rhythm-kun!"
"Mura-Buchou Mura-buchou Mura-buchou! Why did you make us come!? Oh, happy birthday, Sengoku…"
"Demon-kun! Wow!" Sengoku turned to look at his team mates, who were both smiling. "What did you do, invite the entire Japanese tennis circuit players?!"
"Of course not," replied Misami. "Only the good ones." He put a hand on Sengoku's shoulder. "You didn't really think we'd forget your birthday, do you?"
Sengoku rubbed the back of his head, before looking at his feet. "Maybe a little…"
"Come on, Sengoku-kun! We're starting a tournament!"
"Coming!" he yelled, running off to play tennis.
Miss Ella: You know I first looked at this, and thought it looked really long, but apparently isn't…
Ok, so here's the thing. I originally thought 'Oh, there's six days until her birthday, I'll write six fics, with our favourite pairing on her birthday…' then I realized I hadn't counted her birthday into the six days. So… Sengoku gets his own fic! Because he's the only one of our main characters who doesn't have much of a pairing right now… but we are open for suggestions...
It's her birthday tomorrow! Get ready for the shortest ultimate birthday fic ever!
Also, I'd like to appologise to the reviewer who asked for more perfect… I'm not much of a perfect writer… And I don't much like Perfect fics unless their very well written, as much as I like the pairing itself. And even if I could write it, this fic is already planned out, so sorry!
