Summary

Wacky headmaster of Seigaku decides to hold a prom. Who do the Seigaku regulars go with?

CHAPTER 3 – TRULY PRODIGY

Fuji continued to look at him while wearing a most sinister smile on his face, I wonder…

-

It was finally weekend and Echizen was very grateful for that.

Since their headmaster announced that a prom would be held the next Friday, many girls tried their luck with the regulars of the tennis club. And Fuji sempai didn't help by starting to look at him in an odd way and giving him smiles that were different in some way to his normal ones. Echizen only noticed the change and thought that it was creepy, but just didn't understand why the hell his sempai was acting like that.

On the other hand, the senior just thought that the freshman regular's reaction to his behaviour towards him was so cute. He couldn't wait till weekend.

So, like every other weekend Echizen woke up late in the morning; like every other weekend he changed into his tennis gear and prepared to go out; like every other weekend his dad challenged him into playing one of his silly little games before letting him go out; like every other weekend he quickly got out of the silly games and left his dad behind… But UNLIKE every other weekend, Echizen found another person in his way.

"Fuji sempai!" a rare expression of shock was displayed on Echizen's face. "What are you doing here?"

Fuji smiled innocently and said, "Oh, I was on my way to see a movie and passed by your place. I thought that it might be nice if you would come with me. And in the next moment, you came out. What a delightful coincidence!"

Echizen eyed his sempai suspiciously. He was about to reject the offer when his dad came out and said, "Oh? If you're going out with your friend to see a movie, you wouldn't need your tennis things then. I'll help you take them inside!" Nanjiro grabbed hold of his son's things and whispered to him, "Your boyfriend? Good choice!" He pushed his son towards the "boyfriend" shouted a "Come home LATE!" at them and went into the house, while singing one of his silly songs again.

"Is that your father? He's a very interesting man," Fuji smiled sweetly at his date.

"He's not."

"Not what?"

"Never mind," Echizen turned and left.

"Where are you going?" Fuji asked innocently.

Annoyed, the shorter one replied in his laconic manner, "Where else?"

"Hmm," Fuji put his finger to his cheek and pretended to be thinking very hard, "The tennis courts?" His date just walked quicker. "So you're going to the tennis courts?"

Echizen suddenly turned to face the other. "Why do you deliberately ask me that when you already know the answer?" He was getting close to shouting and was giving his sempai the death glare.

However Fuji just thought it was cute. He circled behind the shorter one, wrapped his long, slender arms around him and whispered into his ear, "But I want to hear it from you!"

"I'm going to the movies with you. Now satisfied?" The younger one said it stubbornly quick, struggled out of the other's arms and walked off. It didn't occur to him that the embrace meant something different from Momoshiro and Kikumaru's hugs

-

The movie his sempai chose wasn't as bad as Echizen thought it would be. In fact it was quite good, one of the best he has seen, though he hasn't watched many. He had expected it to be one of those love stories, seeing as it was his Fuji sempai who chose the movie.

"The movie was great wasn't it?" asked Fuji, obvious that he's having a brilliant time.

"Yea, especially at the bit where…" Echizen immediately stopped himself, put on a cold face and started again. "It's not bad."

"Is that so?" the brown haired one asked, "Well I suppose it's not bad for a first date then?" he smiled innocently at the one under the cap.

"Wha–," he started, but he knew better than to argue with his stubborn sempai. He sighed, pulled his cap further down and followed his sempai.

-

They arrived at McDonald's just to see Momoshiro and Kaido together having lunch. There were many shopping bags on the seats next to them.

"We were just training together this morning!" the two sophomores shouted together when they noticed their team mates. Their faces were as red as tomatoes.

"Ha?" Echizen stared at the two, confused.

Noticing the numerous shopping bags at the couple's table, Fuji said, "I see that you had fun. Good luck on more 'training' after lunch then," he grabbed his partner's hand and started towards the ordering counter. He took a few steps, stopped abruptly and turned, "Oh! By the way, remember to tell me about any progress in your 'training'!" And, satisfied by how flushed the sophomores became, Fuji continued to drag his cute and completely confused companion to buy their lunch.

-

The senior ordered completely different food from the freshman, even the drinks were different. They settled at a table where they and the two sophomores couldn't see each other, which was a great relief to the latter couple.

Half way through their buns, the older one decided he wanted some of the other's lunch, "Hmm, yours look delicious," with that he bent towards the younger one to take a bite.

The senior prodigy's plan should be obvious to everyone by now, but not to the young Echizen Ryoma. "If you wanted this kind then why didn't you order this instead?" he complained.

Unexpectedly, the wasabi-sushi-lover exclaimed "So spicy!" and grabbed Echizen's drink in attempt to clear the taste from his mouth. Being the love-idiot that he was, Echizen just uttered another complaint and continued having his lunch.

-

"I can see why you come to McDonald's so often, it's really delicious," said Fuji light-heartedly as they walked out of the restaurant. "You look really delicious, too," he whispered to himself.

"I'm going home now."

"Let's go to the park," the taller one suggested, ignoring what the little one just said, while reaching for his slender hand.

They walked hand in hand to the park, of course with Fuji taking the initiative. They settled on a bench where they had a good view of the fountain in the middle of the park, with the sun setting behind it. A very beautiful sight indeed.

"Hmm, I can still taste your bun from lunch. Will you do me a favour and help me clear the taste?" the smile was on Fuji's face again.

Echizen's instincts told him something was about to happen, but he just couldn't figure out what it was. Then it happened. Fuji bent down to claim the long waited kiss. The white cap fell to the floor, revealing the flushed face of its innocent owner. "You lied. It tastes like grapes." It reminded him of his favourite drink. Loving the taste, Echizen reached up to kiss his sempai again.

-

"Very delicious indeed."
