Drabble Ten
To Be Number One
Masamune had only one ambition in life.
To be number one.
He wasn't quite sure why this was so important to him, only that it was and always had been.
He had to be number one at everything.
Perhaps it came from his childhood. He was constantly failing at simple children's games- and he was therefore made fun of mercilessly. Perhaps that was what had caused his obsession.
Being number one was the most important thing.
He made it his mantra. When he was doubting himself or his ability, he had it to fall back on. He was number one. He was number one. He was number one.
For the longest time, it was the only thing that had mattered to him. Being the best of the best at everything.
Being number one.
But then he met Gingka and Yuu and Tsubasa and Madoka and he had friends.
It was a foreign word, because Masamune had never before had a real friend. He'd always been much too concerned with becoming number one.
Friends had always gotten in his way before.
But now he realized that friends could help him accomplish his goal. They loved him and he loved them.
They helped one another achieve their dreams.
For the first time in his life, Masamune thought that there just might be something more important than being number one.
A/N: Thanks to all my reviewers! I love Masamune and my curiosity with his obsession over being number one turned into this drabble. Thanks to RinnyEjito12 for the idea in the first place. Next is a relatively ignored, minor character with tons of potential. Demure! Be excited.
Thoughts? Do you like Masamune? What's up with his hair anyways? Did he get struck by lightning?
