Yamamoto and Ryohei walked slowly to Tokyo Tower, swinging their held hands back and forth like little children. Yamamoto felt like laughing at the scene but held his urge too. They paused when they noticed that the road leading to Tokyo Tower was filled with many small food and game stores with lanterns. Yamamoto was really excited to see the stores filled with people and laughs, he was about to drag Ryohei forwards to the stores until he realized that Ryohei had already ran off down the road himself energetically shouting "EXTREME!" along the way.
"Senpai… That was embarrassing." Yamamoto said after finally caught hold of the hyperactive Ryohei. Yamamoto couldn't help but feel like a mum desperately trying to keep her naughty child in control.
"Sorry Takeshi. I was just really excited. Forgive me." Ryohei apologized bowing his head like a child.
"Okay I forgive you. Just promise not to run off without me next time." Yamamoto sighed with a smile.
"Ok I promise."
As they walked down the street of small stores, Yamamoto caught sight of a dog doll with yellow and white fur hanging over a game store.
"Hey senpai, look at this." Yamamoto said pointing at the dog doll. "Don't you think it resembles Jiro?"
"It sure does. Do you want it Takeshi?"
"Definitely." Yamamoto then realized that the game store was his favorite ball-target game, which will be quite a piece of cake for him. Yamamoto was about to proceed to the game but Ryohei stepped in front of him.
"Don't worry, Takeshi. I will win this for you." Ryohei said as he took out some coins from his pocket and gave them to the store owner.
"But senpai, I can…"
"Just watch me." Ryohei said turning his head to him with a bright grin. Yamamoto sighed and just watched his senpai proceeding with the game. Well, clearly target game is not Ryohei's area of expertise. Yamamoto watched his senpai's desperate attempt in ball throwing, but Ryohei was just too concentrated in the power of his throws rather than accuracy. Despite this Yamamoto was watching the whole thing with heart filled happiness, being ever so grateful for Ryohei making every single effort just for his sake, and that was what he likes his senpai about.
In the end, Yamamoto finally decided to step in and aid his beloved senior. To the shock of the shop owner, Yamamoto hit right in the bull's eye in just one throw. The two then proceed to walk down the stores with Yamamoto holding the "Jiro" doll in his other hand. Ryohei however did not look too satisfied.
"Senpai, cheer up. It's alright. You tried your best." Yamamoto said hugging Ryohei in his arms, leaning his own cheek against Ryohei's.
"No, Takeshi. I meant to win the prize for you. I am so useless." Ryohei said looking down at the ground sulking.
"No worry, everyone have their goods and bads." Yamamoto said comfortingly until he heard some shouts nearby, Ryohei looked to the direction of shouts as well. The shouts come from a store, or rather more like a ring, with a tall and muscular guy standing in the middle. Then another guy who is clearly much thinner and smaller guy stood next to the him and announced: "Welcome ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming to our arm wrestle competition." He pointed to the big guy next to him. "Whoever of you won an arm wrestle match against him will be awarded with a prize. All of you are welcomed to participate."
Yamamoto and Ryohei moved their eyes to the prize stand, and Yamamoto excitedly point at a specific doll. "Senpai, doesn't this look like you?" Ryohei studied the doll carefully. It was a boxer doll, the doll has grayish hair and a plaster on his nose, and wearing red boxing gloves in its hands. Ryohei can't find any reason to deny the fact that the doll does indeed look like him. But then Ryohei grinned excitedly looking at Yamamoto.
"This time I am really going to win this for you, Takeshi!"
"Sure, senpai, but…" Takeshi eyed towards the huge man worryingly. Yes, indeed Ryohei has a strong physique and great physical strength, but against this guy? This man looked like he has 3 times of Ryohei's mass!
"Takeshi…" Ryohei placed his hands on Yamamoto's shoulder reassuringly and kissed him on his cheeks. "Don't worry I will win! Remember I fought against bears before?" Ryohei said with a smile and run off into the crowded store.
Yamamoto blanked out for a second or so, but then returned to earth and called out to Ryohei. "Wait, senpai!"
"What is it?" Ryohei turned around.
"Be careful, ok?" Yamamoto said with a slightly worried smile.
Ryohei then grinned and gave him a thumb up. "No problem. Just wait for me, ok?" With that said, he dashed into the crowd.
Yamamoto hastily made his way through the crowd around the store. When he reached the middle of it, he saw that Ryohei was already sitting down in his positions against the huge muscular man. The crowd were cheering loudly for the competition. The man who made the announcement earlier declared that the competition begins, and Ryohei used all his mighty strength to try to keep his opponent's hand down, but the big man still had the upper hand. The crowd continued to cheer for the competition, but Ryohei looked like he is going to lose.
"Senpai, don't give up!" Yamamoto shouted in his loudest voice, but seemed like the crowd completely covered up his voice because even he couldn't heard himself. But then a sudden bang declared Ryohei as the winner as he turned the table around and won.
Yamamoto happily run up to his senpai to congratulate him.
"Here you go." Ryohei said as he handed Yamamoto the "Ryohei" doll.
"Thank you, senpai. I was worried that you might lose back there." Yamamoto said gratefully accepting his gift.
"You know? I thought so too, but I heard your extreme encouragement, so I don't want to give in." Ryohei exclaimed.
"But I thought you won't be able to heard me in the crowd." Yamamoto said confusingly.
"Oh yes, I can, Takeshi! I can't afford to miss anything to do with you!" Ryohei said happily ginning.
Yamamoto blushes and then he suddenly realized that Ryohei did not have any rewards now. He then showed to Ryohei his "Jiro" doll.
"Senpai, you can have this." He said with his trademark smile.
"No I can't accept this. Besides isn't this your favorite doll?" Ryohei said hands in the air.
Yamamoto smiled back at him and lifted his "Ryohei" doll. "No, this is my favorite now, 'cause you won this for me, right?" Yamamoto handed Ryohei his "Jiro" doll, "And in return with the gratitude, you can have this. I won this for you as well." Yamamoto said with a wide smile.
Ryohei smiled and happily accept the dog doll. He proceeded to hold on to Yamamoto's other arm. "Come on, to the tower now, Takeshi?"
"Sure." Yamamoto replied with his trademark smile, as they continued their walk to Tokyo Tower.
More fun is still yet to come for the night.
