Chapter 2 : A trying day...

Like every other normal day, there was tennis practice after school which Ryoma obediently attended. So he assumed today was also going to be like any other day where things would go smoothly...They, however, did not.

Definitely not especially when Fuji-senpai kept staring at him. He didn't know why this affected him but it was disturbing to have two sharp blues eyes paying attention to one's every move.

He tried to concentrate on the match before him. It was Tezuka against Eiji. A surprising match which he was supposed to be engrossed in but...he sneaked a glance at Fuji-senpai. 'Damn, he's still looking here.' Ryoma pulled his cap further down in hopes of blocking Fuji's gaze. He was so bent on ignoring Fuji that he missed the first call by Oishi for the next match.

"Ryoma..Ryoma!"

'Wh...What!' And for the first time, all of Seigaku's tennis players and fans were able to see Ryoma get flustered. A tinge of blush appeared on his cheeks at his mistake. Most of the Ryoma Fanclub fainted and Tomoko could be heard hollering Ryoma's name. Sakuno could only blush lamely and think 'He's so cute'. With her gaze on Ryoma, she missed another person's gaze on her.

The next match was Ryoma against Kaidoh. They had played against one another before where Ryoma was the winner. However, the outcome for this match shocked everyone. Ryoma actually lost. With a final score of 4-6, Ryoma gave the sets away easily. Most of the people who were there couldn't believe their eyes. Ryoma could only stand there, unable to move. Kaidoh's face was dark. He was angry. Angry at the way Ryoma had played against him. Marching towards Ryoma, he grabbed his shirt and pulled to faces level.

"How dare you make fun of me! Did you think that I was a worthless enough player that you wouldn't have to play seriously against me!" Fuming, Kaidoh tried to control his temper but all he saw was red.

"Hn. You were just lucky today. Be happy that you actually won." With that Ryoma pushed Kaidoh hands away and landed gently on his. He placed his racket on his shoulder and walked away slowly.

"Why you!" Kaidoh pulled back his fist and was about to hit Ryoma when his arm was grabbed by someone.

"What are you doing you...?" Inui just shook his head. 'Don't pursue the matter' he seemed to be telling. Kaidoh felt his anger deflate and let his arm down.

'What were you thinking Ryoma?'

By the time practice had ended, Ryoma was already gone. Everyone took their showers, got dressed and went home. Tezuka told Oishi to go home first and reassured him that he would solve the matter soon. Oishi ,though reluctant, was pulled along by Eiji who said goodbye.

By that time, there was only Tezuka and Fuji left at the lockers.

"Fuji."

Fuji continued packing his bag.

"Fuji." This time the voice was stronger.

With a sigh, Fuji finally looked up at Tezuka. He, with his sharp piercing gaze, managed to even give ice cold Tezuka a shiver but he endured it and continued.

"I know what you're doing and I want you to stop it. He doesn't need this distraction. He needs to be strong for Seigaku and what you're doing is preventing him from being that."

Fuji however, Tezuka knew what he was doing.

Finally, " I'm in love with him, Tezuka. I really want this to work. I know it might seem a little too hurried to have him accept me, but you know what happened last time. What happened to HER. I don't want it to happen again." Fuji's reply was soft.

Sighing, Tezuka let his guard down. He let his shoulders droop slightly and rubbed his eyes tiredly. Only Fuji was allowed to see this other side of him.

"That was not your fault Fuji. You can't help it if the relationship couldn't be salvaged. It was impossible for the both of you anyway. Forget her, Fuji. Move on."

"Thats what I'm trying to do!" Fuji suddenly shouted. He let his true self out ." You must be thinking that I'm making a big mistake, right? Well, you're wrong. I love Ryoma with all of my heart and you can't do anything to stop it!" With that, He grabbed his bag and proceeeded towards the door. He opened it angrily and came face to face with Ryoma.

A/N: I hate cliffies! So I'm not going to make you guys go through it now...not yet anyway ;)

Ryoma was obviously shocked. He stood there, with his head tilted and looked straight at Fuji with widened eyes.

'Why is Ryoma still in school! I thought he went home earlier on!' Fuji couldn't move.

"Ryoma, it's not what you're thinking..." Tezuka trailed off.

"What WAS I thinking? What do you think? Hn." With that Ryoma walked off without a backward glance . Tezuka and Fuji could only look on in horror.

PoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoT

"Tadaima..." Ryoma took his shoes off and placed them in the corner.

"Okaeri , Ryoma. Go and take a bath and come back down for dinner."

"Hn." Ryoma trudged slowly up the stairs and went into his room. He dropped his bag on the floor and proceeded to fall back on his bed with a thump. He stared at the ceiling and he went back to the previous conversation that he had stumbled upon on.

'I love Ryoma with all of my heart and you can't do anything to stop it!'

What WAS he thinking when he heard it? He couldn't remember himself. Karupin who had been sleeping beforehand, woke up when it felt a hand stroking it --him. Finding that it was his master, he meowed and moved towards him gracefully. As Ryoma continued sroking the cat, he felt comfortable and started to fall asleep...

"Where's Ryoma? It's dinner time already."

"Let the shounen have some time to sleep. He must be tired from all his practice." His wife was shocked. When was her husband this understanding?

"Hey, I'm not that bad alright!" Nanjiroh said indignantly.

She smiled sweetly and kissed her husband. " I know. I'll just leave some food for Ryoma to reheat later in case he wakes up and gets hungry."

With that, the family had their meal peacefully.

PoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoTPoT

He could feel soft caresses on his arms and cheeks. The warm, sweet smelling breathe that he 'tasted' was close upon his lips. He opened his eyes to find himself in the dark. His hands could feel the smooth silk sheets that were beneath his obviously nude body and he reached up to his eyes only to find his hand batted away gently.

One finger was sliding down his cheek, a barely known presence until it reached his lips where it pressed gently, as though begging for entrance.He opened his mouth slightly to let the digit in. It tasted of strawberries as he let his tongue touch it hesitantly. It was such a sweet, irressistable taste that he couldn't stop himself from sucking the finger.

Suddenly, it pulled out only to be replaced by a mouth. Soft, pliable lips that plundered his mouth with a tongue that seemed to be mapping it out, over his teeth, everywhere. It was such an amazing feeling that he couldn't help but respond to it. As they were kissing, he soon found out where the previous finger had went to. It made a blazing trail down his chest to his navel where it slowly circled it.

He was teasing him! Ryoma whimpered, wanting the person to go lower...lower where he needed it the most. The person chuckled but it did not make his finger go lower. In fact the person made the digit go up towards his right nipple and touched it. The mouth left his and went to his nipple to blow on it. Oh the agonising pleasure! It bit and sucked on it gently making Ryoma's arousal increase tremendously. He moaned and gripped the soft hair of his pleasurer none too gently.

"Please...", he begged. "I don't think I can last much longer..." The person released his nipple and made soft kisses downwards...'Just a little bit more...'

All of a sudden, the person stopped. Ryoma was horrified. Was the person going to stop? Bright light penetrated his vision as his blindfold was taken off.

Blue eyes...

Ryoma woke up.

"What the hell was that!" He looked down and found an even bigger problem. 'I need a cold shower.'
