Title: Captured! Fandom: POT/Tenipuri Pairings: Shishido/Ryoma Genre: General Rating: General Disclaimer: No, I do not own Prince of Tennis. Author's notes: First time attempting such couples, I seldom put Ryoma with someone else that's not in Seigaku team. Do pardon me if it's not well-written. This fic written from Shishido's Pov...
Shishido Ryou glanced around his surrounding, he felt oddly out of place standing outside Seishun Gakuen. He mentally cursed Oshitari for being sick today, he wondered what Atobe was thinking about by sending him for the job. Usually it was Oshitari who did them but with Oshitari away for the day, someone else must take over the job. However, why must Atobe send him when there's more than enough members on their team who's able to do the job much better than him.
Atobe was determined to make him suffer, everyone in school knew that he didn't like doing socialising work. Yet, Atobe still send him for the task. Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the school unwillingly. He was walking around aimlessly, not knowing his directions around the school. It was by chance that he passed by the tennis court, and decided to stick around, hoping to receive help for direction from their rival team, Seigaku tennis club.
His eyes landed on Tezuka Kunimitsu, the captain of Seigaku tennis club as he scanned the area for familiar faces. 'Aa... just the person I'm looking for...' Shishido thought as he took a determined step towards Tezuka.
Shishido was five steps away from Tezuka when the gate to the court opened, a freshman with a cap came out from it. However, Shishido failed to notice the gate opening as all his attention was upon Tezuka hence when the freshman walked out of the court. The both of them crashed into each other, the crash alerted the rest of the regulars of Seigaku team. All of them came rushing out trying to understand the situation, however, neither did Shishido nor the freshman heard the loud commotion going on.
They were too busy staring into each other eyes, golden orbs met his dark brown eyes. For a moment, it seems like everything had been frozen in time. It's as if everyone disappeared, no one else but them existed in each other eyes. The magic moment vanished, when their eye contact was broken.
"Echizen, are you all right?" Shishido heard someone addressing the younger boy.
"Aa... I'm fine, Momo-sempai..." Echizen re-adjusted his cap and left with Momoshiro.
Shishido was left staring at the back of Echizen's head longingly, it was not until Tezuka stood in front of him that he recovered his wits.
"Shishido, I believe you are here for Ryuzaki-sensei?" Tezuka asked.
"Huh? Oh, yes! I need someone to show me the direction, since it's the first time I'm here..." Shishido hurried to repond.
"Oishi, bring him to Ryuzaki-sensei." Tezuka signaled to Oishi, before turning his attention back to the rest of the members. "The rest of you continue with your practice!"
"Shishido-kun, I'll show you the way..." Oishi gestured for Shishido to follow him.
"Thank you..." Shishido replied as he fell into steps beside Oishi. Shishido decided to take that chance to question Oishi about the boy whom he had crashed into earlier. After hesitating for a moment, he asked "Oishi, who's that boy whom I crashed into earlier?"
"Huh?" Oishi paused for a moment as his mind registered the event which took place earlier on outside. "Oh... that's one of our first year, Echizen Ryoma."
'So that's the famous Echizen Ryoma who defeated Hiyoshi...' Shishido mused. That was when he came to a decision of courting Echizen Ryoma, and he's determined to do it, irregardless of the costs. Now that he had made his decision, he's going to fix a plan soon... For the rest of the week, Shishido spend all his free time thinking up various tactics which he believed will attract Ryoma's attention.
As for Echizen Ryoma, the younger boy had no idea what's going to happen in the near future...
