To our lovely Reviewers!!
XxMaster-ExX - Indeed, I'll make sure Tezuka would remain 'loyal' to Ryoma-chan forever XD XD
Jewelclaw Lady of Wind - Glad you found the whole chapter was funny. Because the middle and last part didn't seem funny to me ;; I'm surprised that you ((Or anyone)) will be interested in Akira's crush ((That's if she even likes anyone)) I probably WILL have Ryoma get revenge on his sister XD XD
Darkspider - Yup, it was Tezuka that asked 'Echizen' out XD XD, as for Fuji and the others, well, you'll find out in the future.
tsukihime418 - TezuRyo's relationship? I'm sure Akira-chan would make it interesting for them in the future ((smile))
chibisuke - Yup, I'm gonna add in Goldenpair in this chapter, hope you'll like it!! ((smiles))
aichan - I love TezuRyo too, and there's just not enough of them here ((cries)) And I know my update is always late...Gomen nasai!!!
Mercury Angel II - Thank you ((smile)) Well, Fuji is evil for now, but he'll be fine in the future ((smiles)) No, I'm not Japanese, well... I do watch a lot of Animes with Japanese speech and English/Chinese Subtitles, also some other people write Japanese in their fics and I learn from them that way ((sweatdrops and smiles)) Oh yeah, and I have a handy English-Japanese dictionary at hand too. Thanks, I'm honored!!
Nan - Hiya Nan!! Thanks for your support dear!!
Saki-kun - maybe I'll let her wear the uniform after all then?
Seriya Karize - Join them? I wouldn't recommend her to join the team, that's a sign of a mary-sue ((sweatdrops)) and I wouldn't recommend her to flirt with anyone of them... probably Fuji should be fine, because he can always 'play' at her back XD. If you want, you can probably make her as a manager of the team too.

Chapter 6 - Actions speak Everything
"Ryu-kun--Ryu-kun-- Wake up!" Echizen Akira, eldest child of the Echizen family was gently shaking a big lump on a certain bed. "I made your favorite Japanese breakfast this morning - grilled fish, come on!" She tugged and pulled the blanket off, revealing an unawaken face. Echizen Ryoma curled into a ball as soon as the warmth of the blanket was gone, plus reacting to the brightness of the sunlight from the windows.
".......Ryoma, I wonder if you'll get up if it was Tezuka-kun who came here to wake you up?" Akira poked her younger brother. Whether was it because of the Japanese breakfast or the mentioning of Tezuka's name, the boy immediately got up and dashed towards the bathroom. "Yare yare, so it's the crush in mind first eh?" Akira voiced out teasingly as she smiled.
"Mroew--" Karupin appears to be in the room as well.
"You think so too eh Karupin?" Akira greeted the cat as she hastily re-made her younger brother's bed.
"O.N.E.E.C.H.A.N." Ryoma lowly voiced out through gritted teeth. He was back fully dressed in his uniform, only that his hair seemed a little untidy. "Hai?" As soon as the taller girl finished fixing the bed blankets she then walked over to the window and pulled the curtains wide apart to let more morning light lit up the untidy room. Ryoma looked at the (stupid) smile his sister gave him and sighed. "I've got morning practice, that's all."
"Oh... then does that mean you're going to skip your favourite Japanese breakfast?" she asked standing from the window.
"No." Having Japanese breakfast is one of the favourite things Ryoma likes. "Besides, you woke me up way earlier than usual right?" the younger brother looked at his alarm clock to see that he's at least one and a half hour early for school before directing his gaze back at his sister again.
"Then it must have been you wanted to see your Buchou way early in the morning practice?" the girl leaned onto the windowsill and looked at the bright morning outside.
"........Oneechan, you really don't like anybody?" A scowl can be heard.
"...... Hai." A cheerful response.
"REALLY--?"
"Ara, Tezuka-kun's actually here!!" Akira suddenly said.
"Oneechan, don't think you can try to escape from this subject-"
"Ohayou ne Tezuka-kun!!!" Ryoma stopped dead in his tracks as he saw the mad wave his sister is doing while she is looking out of the window. She must be playing with me. Then again, is it true that Tezuka-senpai is here? If he is... ...THEN!!!--
"Ohayou gozaimasu!!" Tezuka's voice was actually heard, it was said aloud but not in a way of yelling.
So he WAS really here after all............EH!?
"Hai!! We'll be down in a sec!!" Akira beamed and then turned away from the window and just before she left Ryoma's room, she winked at him, "You better have that hair sorted out after you come down, I want Tezuka's 'bride' to look as good as always, ah-- it does feel like you're getting married isn't it Ryu-kun?" Akira hurried downstairs chuckling along the way because of the certain words mentioned - 'Bride' and 'Married' has affected Ryoma very much since his face blushed like the colour of a strawberry.
Oneechan no Baka.
"Ohayou ne Tezuka-kun," Akira greeted the teenager as he was invited into the house.
"Ohayou gozaimasu Akira-san," Tezuka greeted back as his eyes surveyed the interior of the house from his current position. "If you're looking for Ryu-kun, he's still upstairs, getting dressed," Akira smiled, in which Tezuka responded with a light blush, "Ano...." before he could speak, Akira have already begun, "Okaa-san went to work already, Nanako-chan is away to the university. I think Otou-san is in the yard. Nanako-chan said he was doing something when she left. So--- I made Japanese breakfast, Ryu-kun's favourite. You want some?"
"Does it bother...."
"It doesn't bother us, the more the merrier!! I'm pretty sure Ryu-kun will be happy about this," Akira smiled and then nugged Tezuka on his back with her elbow. "Hehe, I supposed you came here to see Ryoma bright and early and pick him up as well ne?" she whispered and a small tint of pink was seen upon the Buchou's cheeks. "Heh, actions speak everything--" Chuckling a little, she lead Tezuka into the kitchen and at the same time, Ryoma was stepping down the stairs, "Ohayou ne Ryu-kun!!" Her sister beamed him with a smile as she walked passed him and into the kitchen. And it was also that Ryoma noticed his buchou was right behind her, who has now stopped to lift his head up and stare at himself. "Ohayou gozaimasu!!" Tezuka nodded a little at Ryoma. "Oh...Ohayou...Senpai," Ryoma bowed his head down a little, an indication that he was trying to not meet his crush's gaze.
The two stayed like that for a minute or two until Akira popped herself out of the dining room door to see what was taking both lads so long, "Ara, ara, I don't mind if you two are in your couple world, demo if we don't have breakfast now, we're all gonna be late," she grinned at the blushing duo. And so, all three were seated at the dining table, Ryoma sat right next to Tezuka, with Akira sitting across them both, all devouring the Japanese breakfast. Silence was flowing around the air, both Ryoma and Tezuka were stealing light glances from each other. Akira, who sat across them thought this was quite amusing indeed. And so, she started to ease the tension for them, "Ne, ne, Minna? Is the breakfast tasty?"
"It's wonderful thank you," was Tezuka's stern reply.
"Iya," said Ryoma and he looked the other way. Akira just stared at her brother and then smiled at that remark. He's blushing.
"Echizen!" Tezuka knitted his eyebrows at the boy. "Hmm?" Ryoma looked back innocently. ".....Nevermind," now it was Tezuka's turn to look away and blush. How I wish I should have recorded this on video... Akira thought.
"Ne... Neechan?" Ryoma suddenly turned his attention back to his sister.
"Hai?"
"What is that you're wearing?"
"Clothes."
".......I know that, I'm asking why are you wearing Seigaku's uniform, more like, where did you get them?"
"Hmm.....Sumire Obaa-san got them for me....saa...ne...." Akira placed her index finger on her chin.
"....You... don't know?" Ryoma's eyebrow twitched.
"Hai!!" A cheerful reply.
"And you're only here for two weeks right? Is this necessary?" Ryoma pointed out while pointing his sister with his chopsticks in hand.
"Well... it's not like I'll be wearing this for eternity...so why not?" Akira smiled back.
"............." Ryoma's face paled a bit more. "I gave up."
"Ano... Akira-san, you said Echizen-san is outside doing something in the backyard?" Tezuka decided on a different subject. "Echizen-san...oh you mean Otou-san, hai Nanako-chan told me that," Akira looked back at him. "That also reminds me, what is he doing in the backyard so early?" Ryoma asked. Usually it was either Karupin or his good-for-nothing dad's job to wake him up. Of course, now that Akira is back, it's his sister's turn to do the job.
"Well...Nanako-san said he was at the yard doing something since this morning.......You don't think he's still frozen like a statue standing outside since last night there would you?" Akira wondered, while Tezuka stared blankly at the remark, and Ryoma replied, "You know our dad, he's always as unpredictable like that."
"....That is possible ne...." Akira smiled.
"..........................." Tezuka stared blankly.
"..........................." Akira continued to wonder.
".........................." Ryoma looked back in bored mode.
"Do you think we should go check up on him?" Akira finally asked.
"No."
"Okay."
"......................." stares.
"......................." wonders.
"......................." looked.
"Are you sure?" This time it was Tezuka that asked uncharacteristically.
"We'll check on him when we're leaving," Ryoma stuffed some rice into his mouth.
"Okay then," Akira picked her grilled carrots with her chopsticks. Tezuka on the other hand, just stared at the both of them before returning to devour his breakfast.
"Otou-san?" Akira came to the yard to meet her father. "What are you doing?"
(Gong --- Gong)
It appears that Echizen Nanjirou is ringing the temple bell and muttering very out of character as well. "..............Well, since you're up and well, your breakfast is in the dining room, myself and Ryoma are leaving now. Take care Daddy!!" Akira waved good bye to her father even though she didn't notice that Nanjirou wasn't paying any attention to her. He was lost in his own world.
Both Ryoma and Tezuka were standing from afar, watching the 'ghostly' way that Nanjirou have acted. As soon as Akira came back to them, Tezuka looked at her with concern, "Ano..."
"Daijoubu, Otou-san is well and strong, he'll be fine," Akira smiled, "Ne, Ryu-kun?" Ryoma looked at his sister and nodded, "Hai, he's our Oyaji, he'll survive."
The trio then walked out of the entrance gates and as they were about to leave, a voice came booming at them. They turned around. It was Momoshiro riding on a bike going towards them.
"Oi---!!" Momo waved at the them. And before the view come into Momo's focus, he was shocked to see his tennis buchou standing right next to Ryoma, with Akira waving back at him, "Ohayou ne Momoshiro-kun!!" she beamed at him. Momo came to a halt in front of them and he began to stammer his morning greetings, "Goo-Good morning Akira-san, Echizen...Bu-Buchou." Tezuka nodded in response while a faint 'domo' was heard from Echizen, and Akira cheerfully asked, "Soo-- Momoshiro-kun, you're really up and early ne?"
"Ah..ahh... hai..." Momoshiro scratched his head. He's here early because it was his usual job to collect Echizen. And he liked the boy.
Because of Momoshiro's remark, Tezuka looked at Ryoma with a hint of jealousy in his eyes. The youngest boy somehow shifted uncomfortably under Tezuka's gaze upon him. Akira noticed the tension, and she so went up towards Momo. Both Ryoma and Tezuka wondered what was up with the daughter of the Echizen family seeing that she was proceeding happily towards Momo. "Ne, Momoshiro-kun?" she started. "Ah hai?" Momo listened but then noticed Akira's attire, "Akira-san, are you studying in Seigaku!?" Akira looked back with a smile, "Hai, and you know me Momoshiro-kun, I'm a direction-senseless person, therefore, can I ask you to 'give me a ride to school'?"
"Eh? But Echizen--"
"Tezuka-kun can walk Ryoma there, won't you Tezuka-kun?" Akira turned her view around and winked at them both. "Hai Akira-san. Momoshiro!! Make sure you take Akira-san to school safe and sound!!" Tezuka stared at Momo in a commanding way. "Eh!? But--" before Momo could say another word, Akira dragged him and made him sat on his bike, stating it is time to leave. She then came back over and whispered in Ryoma's ear, "Actions speak everything, Ryoma," smiled and then went back to Momoshiro, "I'll see you two later-- ja ne--" Akira waved as she sat sideways on the bike with Momo whimpering what on earth is this happening and such. As if I'll let you ruin their moment, Akira thought. As soon as they are out of sight, both Tezuka and Ryoma still stood on their same spot.
The two of them glanced at each other, and it was Tezuka who began, "Let's go Echizen, otherwise we'll be late." Ryoma nodded and followed closely behind Tezuka. During the long walk, neither of the boys said a single word. However there was a rather interesting interaction between the pair. The younger boy found himself eyeing the loosely hanging right hand of the taller boy's in front of him. Several times whether he turned corners or has walked really close up with his Buchou, he would unconsciously stretch out his hand to reach for that hand. Unfortunately, none of those chances have ever succeeded.
They came to a path and sighing, Ryoma decided to give up. I sound just like those girls that are in those fluffy love moods...yuck!! The boy shook the thoughts out of his head and just as he was about to take another step, he felt himself being pulled back into an embrace. And it was only then he realized a car in high speed came zooming by, ain't he lucky he got pulled back. Eh? By who?
"Echizen! Are you alright?" Tezuka studied the boy he pulled back at the last minute. Was he daydreaming or what? The car nearly killed him!!! While Tezuka's face remained unchanged, he could feel that his own heart was thumping loudly, about the fact that he could have lost the boy just there now.
Ryoma, on the other hand can feel the tight embrace his captain was giving him. The feeling of the older boy's arms wrapped around his chest since his back was against Tezuka's middle chest. So warm.... Ryoma tilted his head upwards, spotted the Buchou's face looking down at him and the first thing the younger boy noticed was his senpai's lips. It was at eye level. Feeling his face heating up and blushing, he turned his head back down and murmered, "Bu-Buchou-"
"Saa, let's go," Tezuka replied before Ryoma could say anything else, as he clasped his hand with Ryoma's. Ryoma, feeling himself being pulled, stared with wide eyes at his hand being pulled by the opposite's one. A fluttery feeling burst out inside his heart as he smiled lightly during the journey to school.
Actions speak everything, Ryoma.
"Safe--!!" Akira cheerfully waved her arms as herself and Momo stopped beside the bike shaft. While Momo was locking his bike, he was sighing and murmering, "Why is it that it turned out like this? It's unreal, so unreal." Akira then turned her head and faced the rather sad looking Momo, "Ara? Is something bothering you Momoshiro-kun?" Momo, hearing his name, quickly stood up and smiled back while scratching at the back of his head, "Iya-- It's nothing, nothing at all!"
"Hmm.... ok then..." Akira looked at him innocently before turning away and started to walk on. Momo followed her and asked, "Ano Akira-san, where are you heading off to?" Akirta turned her head 15 degrees to the right to look at the taller lad, "To the School's office, because I don't know which classroom I'm assigned to." "Is that so?" Momo said and then began again, "Well I'm going to morning practice." Suddenly an idea came into Akira's mind, "Can I go with you? I want to meet Ryuzaki-sensei," the young girl asked and the taller boy nodded a yes.
And while the two of them are making towards the courts, Akira noticed Kaidou jogging around and hence they came to a stop, "Ohayou ne Kaidou-kun!" the girl waved at him. Kaidou stopped his pace and nodded a little, greeting back, "Ohayou gozaimasu." Momo on the other hand started his usual routine with Kaidou everyday, "Che' Baka Mamushi!!" Kaidou then fought back by his reflexes, thus both bickering turned into loud quarrels. This have attracted many attention from either normal students or club members, and on Akira's mind right now was - Escape!!
The girl made her way out of the large crowd and jogged quickly into the side grounds of the tennis courts, and only then did she hear familiar voices and spotted Kikumaru and Oishi talking to each other. Kikumaru looks very upset. Akira thought. While Oishi-mama was hushing the poor boy, the girl leaned in closer to the bushes to have a better hearing of what the duo's conversation was about.
"It's not fair I tell you Oishi!!! And Inui then said Tezuka and Ochibi wear walking home together!!!" Eiji whined. If you looked closely, you can even see some tears are beginning to form inside the red head's eyes. "Maa, but Akira-san was with them right?" Oishi patted his partner's shoulder. Eiji give another look at Oishi and lowered his head, "Demo, demo... that doesn't guarantee they won't do anything together!! And Akira-san is naiive and all...." the big neko of Seigaku said.
Naiive? Akira sweatdropped at that comment. Oh well, at least they didn't notice what she was up to. Kikumaru-kun....really liked Ryu-kun after all.... Akira observed the boy with the band-aid and then at Oishi. Heh, Oishi-kun sure is having a hard time. Maybe I'll give them a little hand... With that said, the girl suddenly popped in them in a natural way and greeted them with a wave, "Morning minna--!!"
Hearing the girl's voice, Eiji quickly re-composed himself by wiping off his tears and Oishi hastily turned his head and greeted the sister of his kouhai back, "Ah, good morning, Akira-san," he smiled. Akira smiled back and then looked at Kikumaru, "Ara, Kikumaru-kun what happened? You look tired!!" She said and then looked back and forth between the acrobatic boy and the mother of Seigaku and then continued, "Could it be... I interrupted both of your 'precious' time? Gomen!! I'll leave at once!" she exclaimed and Oishi immediately replied in a stammering tone, "No! No! Akira-san you got us wrong!!! We're just... I just... uh...Eiji's just tired and I just asked him does he want to go to the infirmary, right Eiji?" Oishi blushed as Eiji give him a confused look, who questioned back, "Heh? But I don't want to-"
"So you both aren't a COUPLE after all?" Akira scratched her head and frowned fakely. This time, both partners of the Golden pair blushed furiously and Oishi just hurrily said, "Um, I wish, uh NO! I ah mean...uh, no we're not a couple... uh... I'll see you two later, I have to check upon the club members, I-I'll see you later Eiji, bye Akira-san," saying this, the vice-captain staggered his way back to the tennis courts. Eiji, staring his partner out of sight, felt the current situation to be quite awkward. "Um... Ano, Akira-san..."
"Hai?" the girl smiled.
"Why...why did you say me and Oishi are...?" Eiji frowned at Ochibi's sister. "Well....You both are always together right? And you two can communicate quite well with each other so I thought...." Akira placed her index finger on her chin. But I already have Ochibi.... Kikumaru thought, "But I....I.....I-"
"Oishi-kun is a really nice person, don't you agree?" Akira swung her head to the direction in which the vice-captain was hushing over the first years. Eiji then followed her view and somehow strangely he saw a couple of the tennis club's fangirls to be cheering within the courts. More precisely, Oishi's fans. Eiji somehow felt his eye twitch. Before he could sulk for another minute, a voice interrupted them, "There you are Kikumaru. Back to the tennis courts now or it'll be this," Data Inui appeared with his special drink in hand which Eiji quickly felt his back shiver and he shaked his head figorously before running back into the courts.
Inui gave off a silent mad laugh before noticing Echizen no Oneesan was standing near him, "Ohayou gozaimasu ne Akira-san." "Ohayou," Akira smiled back. "I see that you are doing some match making around here," Inui pushed his gleaming glasses up. "Ara?" Akira blinked innocently and played dumb. "Akira-san, you can't hide it, from these days of researching, I have found that you are finding the right one for your brother." Akira just stood there looking at him and then smiled again, "Heh, is that so? Then perhaps you came here for something?" Akira then turned her focus on Kaidou, who was still arguing with Momo.
You really are a member of Echizen's family. Inui thought.
"Well, my tips for you are you should spend more time with him, don't make a white mice out of him, and take care of that problem for him, and it should work," Akira winked as she pointed at Kaidou and Momo. "Thanks for your advice. In exchange, I have some news here. Fuji doesn't look like he'll give up yet," square-framed glasses glowed. "And Atobe won't leave the issue so easily either." The girl nodded at the information, "I thank you. Let me know how you're doing afterwards." Inui nodded back and he left. Seeing the data man began scribbling something again and walking out of sight, Akira then realized she was supposed to search for Ryuzaki-sensei to help her about her home class. Oh No!! Panicking, the girl quickly dashed into the courts to find the sensei. God love her direction-senseless character.
Meanwhile, Seigaku's King and Prince have just arrived on time for practice. Before proceeding to the tennis courts, Tezuka released his grip on Ryoma's hand (Which Ryoma felt a bit of disappointment inside his heart) and then lowered his head a little and whispered into Ryoma's right ear. This is the second time Buchou did this. Ryoma's heart thumped loudly as Tezuka told him, "Meet me at the top of the school at lunch time today, "Tezuka gave a tender look at Ryoma before walking off to the courts.
Ryoma on the otherhand, stood still with his face heating up for the 3rd time today. Chanting himself to calm down, he slowly proceeded to the locker room. Opening the door to the locker room, he saw that Tezuka was already fully dressed in his Seigaku Tennis uniform and was walking out. The captain give him a little nod, and Ryoma just lowered his head with a little tint of red on his cheeks. He quickly paced inside to where his locker was situated and placed his bag down on the floor. It was then he noticed Kawamura-senpai was actually inside there as well. He looked at his older senpai, who give him a nervous smile as always. Ryoma nodded back and continued to change into his tennis club attire.
"Ano...Echizen?" Kawamura moved towards Ryoma anxiously. The boy stopped putting on his Seigaku jacket and looked above him. Kawamura-senpai sure is blushing a bit. What's up with him? One of Ryoma's eyebrows were tilted upwards, an indication of confusion. "Echizen...what happened yesterday after the match?" the third year scratched the back of his head a little.
".......I went home with Oneesan and Buchou," was all the boy said and he continued to put on his jacket.
"Just that?" Taka-san anxiously asked again.
"Hai...?" the boy looked back plainly.
"Didn't anything happen?"
................ Didn't anything happen? Well, you can't say there's nothing that didn't happen, having your Buchou suddenly challenging your good-for-nothing old man for a match and asking a favour from him... and the favour was just.... with this, Ryoma suddenly blushed at the words his captain said to him once again.
"Um, if you don't want to talk about it, it's fine," Kawamura then suddenly said.
"Iya...betsuni...nothing happened. Buchou just walked us home," Ryoma replied.
"I see, well, shall we go?" Taka-san smiled and opened the door. Both of them each went out of the locker room and onto the courts.
Time flies when you're having fun... or rather much more when you're practicing. It is now lunch time and there are many things going on around the place. Students either ate in their classrooms or there was a queue in the school's shop, or the canteen was filled up with people as always.
Among the third year classrooms, the 6th classroom is the one where Fuji and Kikumaru is in. Both were having lunch and a light conversation.
"....Nyah Fuji?" Eiji began as he poked the carrots in his bento. "What is it?" Fuji smiled back as always as he fished up a rolled fried egg off his lunchbox. "....er....... what do you think of Oishi?" Eiji give off wondering eyes to his best classmate as he stuffed a cucumber into his mouth. "Hmm.... I think of Oishi as a great friend. And the mother of Seigaku if I have to add to that," Fuji chuckled as he placed his chopsticks near his mouth. "Uh...yeah I know that too........b-but....but..... but what about..... what about....uh...nevermind..." the red head sighed as he began to chew the food in his mouth. "Hmm? What's wrong Eiji? Is Oishi bothering you?" Fuji stopped his actions and looked at his best friend.
.........Not really.... "No, not really...." The voice of the genki teenager among the two didn't sound too convincing.
"........." Fuji observed his friend and then looked out of the window, since his desk is right beside it. He looked for a certain egg-head shaped figure and spotted the person he was looking for, who was actually surrounded by some kouhais. The tensai then turned his view back at the red-head, which was having a sulk expression on his face while looking outside the window like he did earlier. Yare, yare.... the tensai finally understood and bitterly smiled, "Eiji..."
"Hoi?" Kikumaru snapped out of his sulky daze. It was then he realized what he was doing, blushed and quickly waved his arms madly, trying to reassure his best pal that he is fine. "What is it Fuji?"
Fuji on the otherhand smiled back, "Eiji, it's not what I think of Oishi, it's what YOU think of him right?" the tensai continued to smile as he rested his chin on the back of his palm. "Right?"
"Er...but...." but I like Ochibi more..........
"Eiji, who do you think of most of the time?" The tensai asked.
"Eh?"
"Who do you like to spend time with most of the time, who is it that you tend to get 'jealous' if somebody gets too close with that person?" Fuji stopped.
"Ah...." A confused expression was plastered on the red-head's face.
"Ne?" Fuji smiled as he pointed at a certain figure out of the window. Understanding his friend finally got the hint, he got up from his seat and dragged him out of the classroom, "Come on Eiji, let's go meet him, I have to go find Taka-san as well."
Bright, cobalt blue sky was occupied with a few random fluffy clouds, the sun's rays heated the surface of the highest point of the school building. A small figure was lying at this certain place right now, greenish-navy hair appeared to be shining in might and fluttering gently along with the cool breeze. The sun heated the black uniform up and placing shines here and there. The eyes of the small figure was closed shut, appeared to be sleeping. This was indeed a beautiful scene, as if it was constructed using soft pastels.
And that, was what Tezuka Kunimitsu have seen as soon as he came out of the entrance to this top building. His view of the boy was sleeping against the wall of the room structure that holds the entrance and exit to the outside of this place. The older teenager silently approached the young boy, noticing for once that his main objective had really long eyelashes. He held out a finger to touch the soft cheek, and doing so, have caused a reaction to the kid to shuffle a little and then golden eyes started to open up.
Ryoma blinked a few times before looking around him. He previously quickly ate his bento in class and then hurrily came to the top of the building since he couldn't withstand the noise of the people around him in his homeroom any longer; and that he was to meet up with Buchou here.....buchou....eh?
Blinking two more times again, Tezuka's face came into his focus. After five seconds, he realized the awkward position he was in, he was lying against the wall for support and that his buchou was kneeling down, whole body hovering above him and that their faces were a few centimetres apart..........
Blushing, Ryoma quickly stammered, "B-Buchou!"
Tezuka give him a silent nod, but had no intention of getting up. Ryoma could hear his heart thump very loudly, and he couldn't help himself either when his eyes landed on his senpai's lips....it's eye level like.....
"Ryoma..." His captain suddenly called. Ryoma, not Echizen. But Ryoma.
"H-hai?" The boy could feel his back was sweating heavily.
"The thing I said to you yesterday.........have you a reply yet?" Tezuka gently voiced out. Ryoma blushed at this comment and it also enabled him to remember his conversation with his sister last night...
"Now the main thing is do you like him or not?" Akira stared back.
........I think.....I do."
"Well then, you should say that to him ok?"
Ryoma's eyes glimmered with courage and he opened his mouth, ......Say it to him, say it to him!
...........But, a few minutes passed and Ryoma never did get to have any sounds coming out of his voicebox. Probably too nervous or excited to speak?
....... I guess it's still not time.... Tezuka's face remained stoic, but a hint of disappointment reflected within his eyes. Ryoma saw this and he suddenly clapped his hands around his buchou's and they sat facing each other in a praying stance, the boy tried to urge himself to speak up. However, the boy panicked when no voice came out, he was either too nervous that Tezuka would probably tell him to stop and may think he's not ready yet or that the buchou thought he will reject him, or even that he probably won't get another chance to confess properly.
"Actions speak everything, Ryoma."
Suddenly this phrase clicked inside the boy's head. Actions speak everything..... debating on this Ryoma, decided to risk his chance.
He quickly shut his eyes and tilted his head upwards, pressed his own lips against his senpai's while blushing along the way. However, he waited and felt no response from the older guy, Ryoma began to tremble in fear. Did I...just ruined it?
Tezuka, kind of startled with what his kouhai has done, or should we say, he never expected Echizen to do such a thing(yet) remained in a petrified state until he felt the one underneath him was trembling. Tezuka smiled inside his heart and he began to give a response back to the boy by gently biting a little on the boy's red lips, who opened up in shock(Tezuka felt) allowing Tezuka's tongue to gain access in further.
Ryoma could feel the opposite tongue teasing his own, randomly and lightly touching him in some spots and the other time dancing with his own tongue. These little actions give a tingling sensation in his hands and to his body, his heart was thumping faster than usual and some heat rose up reaching his face. He was shocked that his buchou have actually replied back, he thought he had angered him.
But the little boy can think of no more...since he finally realized he is running out of breath and may collapse any minute now.....
Tezuka pulled back as he noticed the lack of oxygen the boy needs, since it's all indicated by his red face. He then felt Ryoma's warm figure collapsed into him for support as he can hear the heavy panting from the boy. The edge of his lips tilted up by 0.00001 degrees upwards and while he had a hand placed around the boy's back, he placed his other hand and lifted Ryoma's chin upwards. Gleaming Golden eyes stared back, puffy red cherry lips were now lightly gasping for air, Tezuka tilted his head towards and his nose touched Ryoma's. "I take that as a 'Yes'," Tawny eyes smiled back at him as they pulled together for another tight warm embrace, another tight warm kiss.
At the top of the room structure that the two students were leaning against, a ladder was next to them, which lead to the highest spot of the building, sat a girl in Seigaku uniform. It was Echizen Akira, who sat there during the whole time with a finished bento and a finished can of beverage beside her....holding a camcorder(!) in her hand as well!? It appears the two below her didn't notice her presence at all.
From above she smiled at her brother's fortunate moments. Well done Tezuka-kun. Same to you as well Ryoma. She then turned around and looked at the school courts below, and spotted some Seigaku regulars around the place. Inui was holding something in his hand and was advancing towards both Momoshiro and Kaidou. Fuji somehow led Kikumaru towards Oishi, and then left them when he spotted Kawamura. After a few seconds of observing, she decided to zoom in on Oishi and Eiji with her camcorder.
She then heard that the footsteps below her started to move, walking back in the same pace together back into the interior of the building. With the sounds out of her hearing distance, she decided to quickly pack up and jumped down from above and planned to go to her next victims.
Finding the exit sure was hard(In Akira's case), greeting new people along the way and asking for quick directions, she finally managed to get out the building's ground floor. She walked out and looked around for signs of the golden pair. The girl decided to check the courts, and was somehow, greeted by a rather 'sad' Inui. The tall bespectable data man had a depressed aura surrounding him, which would make people stare, feel sorry for and also stay away at the same time since a type of 'beverage' was still clasp in one of his hands. Akira approached Inui and a gleam twinkled on Inui's glass frame as he turned to look in Akira's direction.
The girl gasped in silence as a big red hand mark was printed on Inui's right cheek, recomposing herself, she give a smile back(Though the smile was one of a little fear), "Inui-kun, are you alright?"
"Kaidou......Kaidou.......Kaidou....he....." with that, a flood of tears suddenly bursted out of the data man.
"A...ano....what....happened?" Akira immediately tries to calm the opposite teenager down anxiously.
"I did what you said!!" Inui's eyebrows suddenly twitched.
"What I've said?" Akira stared and then began to re-thought what she have said.
"According to the data I've taken down, you said, 'Well, my tips for you are you should spend more time with him, don't make a white mice out of him, and take care of that problem for him, and it should work' and you even winked at him!"
"Ahhh....I did say that....." Akira placed her index finger on her chin and sweatdropped.
"I did spend time with him, I chased him to here and there and then, even helped him power up his training by giving him more of my special drinks, dragged him away from Momosjiro even though they still do tend to quarrel-"
"Er, wait a second, what did you just say? Chase him?" Akira stared at Inui.
"Why yes, you said spend more time with him so I go everywhere he goes, even the bathroom-"
What!? Akira raised her eyebrows.
"-you said not to make a white mice out of him, I didn't, he asked for a more hard training schedule so I may as well give him some of this(Inui juice) as an encouraging gift-"
WHAT!? Akira could feel veins were popping out on her head.
"-And you said take care of that problem for him, you winked at Momo, so you must mean I should avoid having Kaidou see him again right, and he was just fighting with Momoshiro, all I did was trying to separate them apart, Kaidou told me to get out of the way and he..he...give me this!?" Inui finished, pointed at his red cheek and then sighed deeply.
"............Ano....Inui-san..." Akira could see what's gonna happen next.
"What is it?"
"You got my words ALL wrong," with this statement, Inui froze like a sand statue on the spot.
"Er...well, not entirely, but your methods are wrong. When I say spend more time with him, yes you did it, but don't you think it's a bit overboard? Couples yes, but you'e both still not THAT yet right? You may scare the little snake away! There are people in life that liked their privacy." A straight hit into Inui's heart.
"Secondly, when I said don't make a white mice out of him, I mean don't give him any of your vegetable drinks, but you still continued to do it. And as an 'encouragement gift' too...he won't like it." Another stab was placed in Inui's heart.
"Finally, you don't drag him away from a fight with Momoshiro, you should SCARE Momoshiro away. I guess you should know what to do right?" Akira finished and looked at Inui, who appeared to have a final hit in his heart again. ".....Ano.......er.....Inui-kun, don't take what I said too harshly, ok?" Akira reassured the data man with smile.
"....................If I do what you've said, are you a hundred percent totally sure it'll work?" Inui asked.
"99.9999 percent sure it'll succeed. That other 0.0001 percent won't work, depending on your own judgement," Akira smiled.
"........I'll try it again then," saying this, a sparkle emitted from the glass part of Inui's spectacle and a dark smile appeared on his face once again.
Looks like he's back again, Akira sweatdropped.
"Oh that reminds me," Inui pushed his glasses up, "Fuji and Kikumaru went to find Oishi, Fuji then left the two of them when Kawamura has appeared," Inui said as he checked his notebook. "It appears that Kikumaru stated to meet up with Oishi after school." Inui closed his copybook and then smiled with a sly on his face, "That is all I know."
"Oh my....you're really helpful around here, why is that so?" Akira smiled back.
"That is-" Inui give another wider sly smile, "For MORE data of course." With this Akira sweatdropped and then backed a little away with a smile, "Saa.... is that so? I'll talk to you again some other time, I have work to do--" Akira smiled and then left while waving a small goodbye. With her out of sight, Inui then smiled wickedly and scribbled more stuff in his databook, "Splendid for being a daughter of the Echizen family," Inui then tilted his head upwards and wondered, "Maybe we can get her back with something, what do you say Tezuka?" the data man turned to a certain bush, beyond that bush laid a sleeping Ryoma on Tezuka's lap, which Tezuka was leaning against a tree.
"Inui," Tezuka placed his view away from his little prince and stared at Inui with a gleaming reflection on his oval glasses.
"Yes Tezuka?" Inui replied.
"20 twenty laps around the courts. NOW," A hint of anger was heard form the buchou's tone.
For disturbing your time with Echizen eh? "As you wish," the data man turned around and proceeded to run his laps, with a smirk plastered on his face.
Watching Inui smirking deeply and running out of sight, Tezuka sighed and went back to look on his 'koibito'. Echizen Ryoma had his head laid upon the King of Seigaku's lap, curlig into a ball and unconsciously moving towards the warmth of Tezuka, somehow clutched on one of the older boy's sleeve with a sweet smile plastered on his face. Tezuka smiled an unnoticable smile as he gently caressed the younger boy's dark green shiny locks before embracing the younger figure and lowering his head against the younger one. For the first time in life, Tezuka Kunimitsu does not want this moment to end.
