Summary: Wacky headmaster of Seigaku decides to hold a prom. Who do the Seigaku regulars go with?- - - - - - - - - -
Chapter 5 – The Prom BEGINS!
"LET THE PROM OFFICIALLY BEGIN!"
"Eh? But it's only 8 of us here. What about the rest of the school?" asked the confused acrobatics player.
Their headmaster just smiled and continued, "I think I should leave you to continue having fun. I'll just get them–" motioning towards a group of waiters "– to bring in the food. A few of them will stay to serve you. The musicians will stay, too. Unless, of course, you're too shy to let outsiders stay here."
"Eh?" the Golden Pair exclaimed together, in sync as usual.
"Oh, I take it that it hasn't been explained to you then."
They all shook their heads simultaneously, even though some weren't particularly good at doubles. On a side note, everybody's eyes were as wide as dishes. Well, everybody except for Fuji.
"I see. Basically, I love tennis myself and I watch you practicing most of the time. I noticed there was something between you other than just friendship. And in case your worries of whether or not to confess to each other about your feelings would affect your performance, I decided to hold this prom for you. The rest of the school is having their prom in a different place, so no one would be here to bother you."
The school principal felt as if he had forgotten something, but he shrugged it off. He returned his attention to his audience, and satisfied with everyone's I-am-shocked-speechless expression, he laughed his ringing laugh and left.
I swear that principal's related to Fuji! Some of the members noted to themselves.
The only sound heard was the waiters arranging the food and the musicians tuning their instruments. It was Fuji who then broke the silent, no surprise in that.
"Well, we should not let this good chance slip by. Right, my Juliet?" He bowed a little and offered his hand in courtesy to the said Juliet. Fuji was wearing his friendly smile as usual, and although his eyes were closed, "Juliet" could see the sincere love "Romeo" had for him.
By this time, the musicians were already playing a gentle yet lively Waltz.
The usual Echizen would have just ignored the hand. But it was Fuji. He accepted and was led to the centre of the ballroom. The two danced beautifully and easily became the centre of attention in the room, even though one of them was a total beginner at dancing.
It was a touching scene, one could not deny that. Each guest was affected by it: Kikumaru was excitingly saying some of his meaningless phrases while dragging Oishi along with him. Mizuki was the one who took the initiative to show that he wanted to dance with Inui. Even Kaido tugged at Momoshiro's sleeve and asked for the dance in a soft voice, with a faint blush on his cheeks, how could Momoshiro refuse?
The sight of the couples graciously waltzing around the room was remarkable. Their costumes danced along with them, adding to the beauty of the picture.
However this moment did not last long. The prom was once again interrupted: a few couples walked into the hall. When they acknowledged the surprise visit, the dancing pairs stopped and immediately froze in hopes that it was just an illusion, especially Echizen who was known for his severe unwillingness to be embarrassed. But his partner had quite the opposite thoughts: he was very willing to have the whole world know about his relationship with his beautiful boyfriend.
It took quite some time before the people who just arrived were recognised.
"Ah! Isn't that Atobe?" Kikumaru said in his childish way.
Atobe wore a striking bluish grey suit to match the colour of his hair, and a pair of shiny platform shoes, made of polished black leather, to match the height of his date. If one didn't know better one would have thought that Atobe and Kikumaru were very close if not related, with their similar attire and similar hairstyle.
"Eh? Tezuka!" exclaimed Oishi, his face red in awkwardness of appearing in a dress in front of the captain, who was also wearing a dress.
Yes, the captain of Seigaku tennis club was wearing a dress, a dress of a light pearly green colour made of the finest silk, with gloves up to his elbows made of the same fabric. The left glove was made so that his hand was not covered up, the reason being that his partner wanted to feel the tenderness of his hand. There was no doubt that his dress was tailor-made, with the fabric personally selected by Atobe, and the whole thing paid for by Atobe. Like Echizen's dress, Tezuka's was a tight-fitting gown, which showed-off his unbelievably lithe body. Tonight, Tezuka did not wear his glasses, which only made him look better as a girl. If one didn't know better, one would have thought he was a sexy chick.
"Oh? Tachibana's younger sister!" Momoshiro greeted the only girl in the room with his usual enthusiasm.
"Wow, I never knew you were all gay," said the girl in reply. Being the know-it-all with the tennis players in their region, she had already recognised every person in the hall.
Tachibana Ann was wearing a pink frilly dress that reached just below her knees. Pieces of frayed fabric in the shape of hearts decorated her waist line. The edges of the frills were also frayed to match the design. Strands of pink hair, highlighted especially for the night, were held back with her usual heart-shaped clips that went quite nicely with her dress.
Ann's date pulled Momoshiro aside. "I've got Ann's heart now. Don't you dare touch her," he warned.
"What do you want, rhythm bastard?" Kaido stepped up to protect his boyfriend, a very rare sight.
It was advised that one took a picture of it when one had a chance. The percentage that one would be able to see such a scene again is very low. But then the expression on Kaido's face was so frightening one would probably not have enough courage to do so anyway. The said bastard backed off, obviously terrified of Kaido. But then who wouldn't?
It should be quite obvious who the bastard in question was by now. Yes, it was Kamio Akira of Fudomine. He had on a suit that was of a very pale yellow colour. If one didn't pay attention one would have thought he was wearing all white. It was a strange colour choice, but it surprisingly suited Kamio very well.
Remembering something, Momoshiro asked, "More importantly, why are Atobe san and you Fudomine people here in Seigaku's prom?"

KyotoXoX – you love FujiRyo? Hopefully I didn't ruin anything for you with my bad "skills" then! . "
analine – I took your advice XD I hope you like it P Sorry it took me so long… By the way, I'm planning to draw them in these clothes afterwards, I'll probably post the links here in the last chapter if I manage to finish them before I finish the story. That will help with the visualisation )
Chaco and Lily – good that you enjoyed it Sorry that it took so long to update
Yukimura – here's Tezuka P
Author's Notes: Yay it's the longest it's ever took me to update… First I have to apologise for this lateness… I've never been to a prom before and none of my friends who've been to one is helping… Please bear with me… But now that I'm back, hopefully there will be more updates before I disappear again (though of course it's better if I don't disappear again). But to tell the truth the comments really encouraged me. Thank you! I'm very touched! I never thought I'd be getting any more new comments after I haven't updated for so long. Thank you very much. Hope you enjoyed this chapter )
