So I quickly went right to work on the sequel chapter, since I'm actually extremely bored. Why am I the only one out of school right now? -coughs- I'm only out because I graduated, but that's besides the point. I've been pondering taking up comissions, since I have the free time (and most of the time I'm dying of boredom without any RPs going on). I'll do any pairings, and make them extremely interesting if I love the pairings myself. But that's enough rambling. Onto the fic. Enjoy and R&R.

Dedicated: To my loyal fan squishythejellyfish.

Summary: Sequel to Chigiri, Promise. Ryoma returns and the high school life plays out. Pillar Pairing, with side Fujicest.

Disclaimer: I do not own Prince of Tennis, nor any characters in this fic.

Ryoma sat tapping his pencil on the desk. It was slightly agitating. He wasn't able to pay attention to the current lesson going on. His cell phone was resting on his lap. He wanted to stay in good contact with his boyfriend. Tezuka had always been so smart, and was even accepted into Tokyo U. All with common knowledge knew it was hard to get accepted.

Ryoma wondered how long they had been dating? A while now, wasn't it? The male was still at Seishun Gakuen, currently a second year. Summer would be starting in a week and it would mean he could see the elder male more.

"Ryoma." The said male blinked, looking at the chocolate locked male.

"Yuuta-senpai, what're you doing here?" Yuuta shook his head.

"It's the end of the day. Let's go." Ryoma nodded.

Tezuka had left Yuuta to be the Captain of the tennis team behind him, not trusting Kaoru or Momo together in charge. Ryoma was his vice captain, taking over when the year would let out. Ryoma had objected to being Captain and thus position fell upon Yuuta, who would never hear the end of it from his elder brother. Fuji was currently at a university in Kyoto, coming home when he could.

"Don't you think age differences suck?" Ryoma muttered to the other male as they walked down the hallway, Ryoma sending his current message to Tezuka.

"What brought that on?"

"I was just thinking."

"Hm, well it does. But there's nothing we can do about it. Were you thinking about Tezuka-san again?" Ryoma stuffed his phone away.

"Forget it." Yuuta chuckled. Ryoma frowned. The more he looked at it, Yuuta was becoming more like his elder brother.

"Why don't you just call him? It'd save you your sanity." Ryoma huffed.

"That's right. I still have mine. You lost yours the day your were born into Fuji-senpai's family." Ryoma still swore that that family were completely unnormal. Yuuta shrugged.

"Maybe. Don't be late for practice. We have Fudomine coming for practice matches." Ryoma nodded, like he needed reminding.

"When do I finally get to meet your mystery girlfriend?" Why was Ryoma's father still on this? Ryoma was passed out next to the table, his father was reading the newspaper, his mother was in the kitchen. As if on que, to get him out of the situation, his phone went off.

"Hello?" Ryoma answered, frowning at the voice on the other end.

"It's been a while, Ryoma-kun."

"Fuji-senpai." There was a chuckle on the other end.

"We're having a small summer party at our house and we're inviting you and your family. Tezuka and his parents are coming." Summer had already started.

"When?"

"This weekend."

"Hold on." Ryoma lowered his phone. "Fuji-senpai's family is having a summer party this weekend and wants us to come."

"Do you want to go, Ryoma-kun?" Ryoma watched his mother appear, wiping her hands on a dish towel.

"Yah."

"Then tell them we're coming." Ryoma nodded.

"We'll be there. What time?" Fuji smiled on the other end.

"Saturday. Come over any time after two." Ryoma got to his feet.

"Ah. Okay. I have a favor to ask, Fuji-senpai."

"I'm all ears."

Yuuta answered the doorbell when it rang. Stepping aside to let the family in.

"Chessu." Ryoma smirked at his senpai as he stepped in, leading him parents and cousin in. His mother had dragged Nanako along.

"Welcome." Yuuta gave a bow. The family took their shoes off and entered the house. Ryoma smiled at seeing Tezuka already there with his parents. Fuji was with his sister, talking, Tezuka with them. Yoshiko Fuji was talking with Tezuka's parents. As Ryoma and his family entered, Fuji elbowed his sister gently, whispering something to her.

"Ryoma-chan." Yumiko walked over and hugged the younger male. They had encountered each other before, but today would be something special. Ryoma muffled a little sound of surprise. "Ah, you must be Ryoma-chan's family. I'm Yumiko, Ryoma-chan's girlfriend. Isn't he so adorable?" Yumiko had taken up with playing with Ryoma's hair. The said male was trying to hold back a smirk at his father's jaw dropping. Nanako and Rinko had both covered their mouths.

"You hit it big time. She's a total babe." Ryoma mentally smacked his forehead at his father's words.

"She's so much older." It was all Rinko could say. Yuuta, who had joined his brother and Tezuka, was now chuckling.

"Nee-san makes a good actress."

"Saa...but it wouldn't work if Ryoma wasn't good at lying." Fuji laced an arm around his brother's shoulders.

"So why did he do this again?" Tezuka questioned, crossing his arms.

"To break the ice and introduce you properly to them. It was all his idea." Fuji smirked.

"She's not really my girlfriend, she's Fuji-senpai and Yuuta-senpai's older sister. I asked her to help me out." Ryoma now was smiling. "Arigato." He would give a nod to Yumiko, who kissed him on the forehead.

"It was fun. I like helping out Syuu-chan's and Yuu-chan's friends." Yuuta twitched.

"Don't use that nickname! I'm not a baby anymore, Nee-san!" Yuuta yelled from across the room.

"Yuu-chan, Yuu-chan, Yuu-chan." Syuusuke poked the other in the cheeks. Yuuta began to swat at the other. Tezuka took it at as his time to move over.

"Actually, I do want you to meet him."

"Hm?" Both parents looked at their son. Ryoma had taken a hold of Tezuka's hand.

"Kunimitsu-san, my parents. Oyaji, Kaa-san, my boyfriend."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Rinko smiled and bowed. Ryoma knew she wouldn't be a problem. He looked to the one who would be.

"A guy? He looks extremely older, too. How old are you, thirty?" Tezuka twitched, Ryoma laughed.

"He's Tezuka-bouchou, Oyaji." Nanjiro scratched his head, thinking back.

"Wait, that Tezuka? The captain of Seigaku?" Ryoma and Tezuka nodded.

"Oh." Nanjiro fell silent.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Nanako, Ryoma's cousin." Tezuka shook her hand.

"Pleasure to meet you, too." Ryoma knew exactly why Fuji had decided to create this little get together.

"If I didn't do it, you'd never get the point across to your family, Echizen-kun." Fuji poked the younger boy with his chopstick while they were eating.

"Domo." The boy replied shortly.

A week later, all members of Seishun's tennis club were gathered at the Echizen residence for a party. It felt like good times, including Inui bringing his newest Inui juices for losers of all their activities. Yah, they turned it into sports events. Playing anything from card games to tennis, and all between.

Tezuka left Tokyo University to go to Seishun University, to be with Ryoma. Alot of other regulars were there, Inui, Eiji, Momo, Oishi, Taka, and Kaoru. Yuuta left the school ring to go to St Rudolph University, going with the Kisarazu twins, Shinya, and Akazawa. Fuji was still in Kyoto, but halfway through the year, transferred to Tokyo University.

Tezuka and Ryoma sat alone in Tezuka's dorm room. The cd player playing soft music.

"I can't believe you still have it." Ryoma muttered, his words being silenced by a kiss.

"They're love songs. They're like you. I can never lose them. I always want to sit and listen to them with you." Ryoma smiled, he'd chosen the right person to end up with.

Crappy ending, but I really...I dunno. Trying to kill my internet because I had one episode to go before I finished watching Code Geass and it hates the site. Anyway, review.
