Author's notes: First attempt at this pairing...

Kajimoto Takahisa couldn't help but mused, the thought of sitting in a cafe enjoying the frangrant of a cup of coffee with a piece of carrot cake together with Saeki Kojiro have never occured to him before. It was by mere chance that they met up in the very same cafe which serves carrot cake one beautiful morning.

Enter Flashback

Kajimoto was given the task of babysitting his cousin under the orders of his mother that fateful day, they were walking along the neighbourhood doing window shopping when his cousin let out a shrill scream that he wanted to have carrot cake. Desperate to stop the relentless wailing, he'd caved and brought his kid cousin to the cafe nearby which sells carrot cakes. Apparently, he'd heard from his team mates, Wakato, that this particular cafe bakes very nice carrot cakes.

Kajimoto and his cousin were seated by the window seat, he was feeding his cousin with the carrot cake when the one of the workers came over and asked if another customer could joined their table for it was peak hours and none of the other seats were free of occupant. Being polite by nature, Kajimoto had agreed naturally only to find himself face to face with the vice captain of Rokkaku Tennis Club, Saeki Kojiro.

The two exchanged a solemn nod of acknowledgement, while Saeki placed his order. He continue feeding his cousin as if there's nobody around, while Saeki watched on in amusement while he tried to get his cousin to behave. Saeki's order have just been served when Kajimoto's cousin tried to reach for Saeki's carrot cake as the previous piece have already been finished. Kajimoto shot a helpless look at Saeki who smiled in sympathy, but when the child started whimpering; Saeki decided to let the child have the cake while he ordered a new piece.

Kajimoto had thanked him, while he continue feeding his cousin with carrot cake. It takes three pieces of cakes to satisfy the child's hunger, Saeki had ended up paying half of their expenses for Kajimoto's have not sufficient amount of money with him. Ever since then, the two have taken up to meeting up once per week in the very same cafe to enjoy breakfast with each other as companionship.

End of Flashback

Now as Kajimoto stared across the table at Saeki, he couldn't help but smiled at the sight of the piece of carrot cake sitting on their table; waiting to be eaten. If it weren't because of his cousin's love for carrot cakes, and this cafe; he seriously doubt that he will be able to know Saeki outside of the tennis courts.
