Chapter 21- The Bus Ride
Uhmm. Hi guys =D HAHAHA. Truly am sorry for not updating but as promised I'll never abandon ER. This is my first story after all. =3. Also I'm now a college freshmen. XD like omg, with all the academics. HUHUHU. So yeahhh. Bear with the slow update. XDD
"Would you just shut up! Singing 'young love young love'." You're voice is annoying enough. You singing is TORTURE!" yelled Kaidoh. Good thing they were the only passengers on the bus.
"Ahh? If my voice is annoying, what more can your face do? Ah?! Oh, that's right, it will send us straight to the hospital with all the hurling we would be doing!" countered Momo.
"Momoshiro! Kaidoh! Anymore of this, you two will jog back home." warned their captain. The two immediately shut their mouths. Well, it was a long ride home after all. It was better shutting up than taking that option.
After a while, silence once again reined their trip. But of course, Seigaku would never that take that offer for so long. Momo could never shut himself up unless they were in trouble.
"Fshh. Can't you shut up?!" yelled the ever so angry sophomore.
"HUH?! Did you say something Kaidoh? I thought I heard a sissy just now." replied Momo who was smirking at his doubles partner.
And so, once again the two fought against each other with Oishi breaking them off, the other sempais snickering in the back staring at their ridiculous juniors- just the normal routine for them, but riding-the-public-bus version.
"Noisy…" murmured Ryoma who was leaning his head back because of the headache he knows will come soon. Imagining why things got out of hand so easily. Plus obviously they're ruining his alone time with Sakuno who is by the way leaned against Ryoma's shoulders while they hold hands.
Ryoma looked over Sakuno who had a slight blush on her cheeks, her braids a little loose yet it charmed him anyway. He sighed, if it was the old him he will definitely smack himself for the thoughts his having. He didn't plan on showing any affection towards the girl but as they say, desperate times calls for desperate measures.
Not noticing that he's been staring at Sakuno's face for a while, he tsked and leaned his head on hers while murmuring "Well, I guess it's fine…" as he started to close his eyes and take a short nap when his sempais called him. 'What now?' he thought irritated.
Eiji, the mood-killer, grinned at him "Ochibi really likes Sakuno-chan, nyaaa~."
Ryoma just rolled his eyes at his sempai which earned a pout and another comment.
"Mouuu, Ochibi should be honest. If you don't change now, Sakuno-chan would fall for another guy!" Now all the attention was on them.
"Leave me alone Kikumaru-sempai." said Ryoma still not looking at them.
"Echizen is shy after all Eiji, can't be helped." Taka-san said in a teasing tone. The tennis prince blushed at what he heard. Here he was trying to take a nap and then his sempais suddenly decided to ruin it. 'What a life.'
The upper classmen continued with their little teasing but Ryoma didn't pay any attention to them. There was only one thing on his mind and that is sleep beside Sakuno. 'Is that too much to ask?' he thought. But knowing his sempais for much too long… 'Probably, it is.' He added when he heard lines along how much a baby he is, or something about getting on with it, percentage here and there… 'Baka sempai-tachi.'
"Are you two going steady now?"

All the regulars were laughing their butts off after they processed in their brains what their captain just said, except Ryoma though who was desperately trying to hide his blush which of course added fuel to the fire, poor Ryoma always making fun of his sempai-tachi.
"Mataku, didn't I tell you guys to never let your guard down?" Tezuka said. With that the laughter and Ryoma's blush died down.
After all that no one said a word which made them sweat drop. Minutes had passed but no one still spoke so even more sweat drops came.
"…. No, we're not…" The awkward atmosphere disappeared immediately and was changed into a tense, over powering, confusing one. Numerous "Why nots" "Buts" "Really?!" can be heard through the entire bus.
'~Ah~. Headache came!' thought Ryoma while he gently held Sakuno's head to let him adjust himself so this time it was his turn to lean on her shoulders.
While Ryoma is taking his time to find a comfortable position his sempais realized what he was doing and shut up. Some were blushing (preferably kaidoh), grinning but most of all they have satisfies smirks on their faces.
Ryoma finally found himself a comfortable position. The upperclassmen finally shut themselves up, their kouhai was so comfortable and their aim now is to get his 'son' back so they'll do the teasing some other time.
Ryoma wasn't surprised in his thoughts though but at Sakuno at the time. It seemed that Sakuno woke up because of all the ruckus their sempais made. Sakuno let her hand gently push Ryoma's head in her shoulders which made our blushing tennis prince snuggle to her more. Ryoma felt that Sakuno was comforting him and was about to fall asleep when he heard Sakuno whisper something…
Blushed, buried his face even more, hugged her because of a simple comment…
"Baka sempai-tachi ne, Ryoma?"
Ok. So I know that you gusy are going to kill me right now. XD HAHAHAHA.
I always loved a good cliffhanger. ^o^V

"I think Ochibi broke a fuse nyaaa~" teased Ochibi while the others were wearing a wide wide WIDE grin.
