CHAPTER 1 – GOLDEN MOMENTS

Kikumaru exclaimed, "Yay I'm going to the prom with Oishi!" and dashed out of the changing room happily.

Oishi ran out after his doubles partner, but stopped after he was just outside of the school gates. A figure stood right in front of him, blocking his way. The golden sunset behind the figure made it seem almost celestial, like a descended angel.

"Oishi," it was Kikumaru, but no longer hyper, "Oishi, do you hate me?"

Oishi jumped at the sound of the question. A bombardment of nightmarish thoughts ran through his mind: Does Eiji hate me? Does he hate me now because I said I didn't want to go to the prom with him? Is he going to leave me now? Is he going to leave me alone?

After what seemed hours, Kikumaru just turned and walked away. Eiji...! Oishi tried to reach out but he was still in shock. Instead he just walked home in the other direction, using the longer, winding route that he hoped never to use.

"Oishi, do you hate me?"

The usually hyper and friendly Kikumaru was now walking absent-mindedly, buried in his thoughts, unusually silent. As he walked, he tried to analyse his mistakes. Did he do anything wrong? Did he go too far to make Oishi hate him? It is atypical for Kikumaru, the jumpy acrobatic player to be worried, but he was now. He even found himself thinking that it didn't matter to him if he could never play tennis again, as long as he can still be with his partner, his beloved partner... He needed to go to a calm, quiet place to think.

---

Where has his subconscious self taken him to now? It's this place again. The place that belonged to Eiji and himself. The place where they had once came together so often.

"Go on to where?"

"Isn't it obvious? Prefecturals, Kantou Regionals, and then of course the Nationals. Number 1!"

Oishi smiled to himself. The memories of them reflecting back on the games in which they fought together, side by side. Those golden moments...

Rain seemed to come so suddenly, pouring down his face. Everything was becoming a blur. Why do my eyes sting? Why is there a lump in my throat? Why is my face so wet? What is this feeling? Eh? He felt something else on his face, something touching his face so tenderly. There was a whisper.

"Don't cry..."

"Ei...ji...?"

"Don't cry...or I'll cry too..."

The taller of the two felt the soft lips of the other affectionately kissing his eyelids.

"Don't cry...don't cry..."

"As long as you don't hate me..."

"How can I?"

Under the bright starlight, Oishi could just make out the beautiful smile on his partner's face.

---

A golden sunrise. A new day. A new dream...

Or is it?

"Oishi! Wake up! Let's go prepare for the prom now!"

Review Replies:

akari-hayashi – hmm...I'll probably try those pairings next time! I paired momo with kaido just because it's my best friend's favorite, hehe...

kasugaigummie – THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTIONS!! But I got a bit lost in the part about "don't wanna". And I don't especially favour any particular pairing so it's fine, really. But still, good for you that you're one who stands-by one's views!

PS. This is my first time replying and because of the time now, my head's probably not working very well and I may appear weird. Please forgive.

Author's Notes: First up! The Golden Pair! Hope I did ok... (too short...)
Well you can't really blame me for my bad quality work, due to pressure from school work and have so much extra lessons and not having enough sleep and... (Excuses excuses excuses)

OKOK! I admit. I'm not a very good writer and blah blah blah... So please review and give suggestions! (LAME)

OK I'll stop the rubbish talk. (YES THANK GOODNESS)

I know it seems somewhat confusing. The truth is I'm writing it in the middle of the night because I was too "busy" doing other stuff (yea, too busy SLACKING OFF) in the afternoons and too "busy" getting more sleep in the mornings...

Oh well, enough is said! (Yea, you should quit wasting your energy on blabbing useless stuff, and put it to better use in writing better fan fics!)
