Midnight Maverick (Aya's POV)
I looked at the alarm clock on my bedside table and groaned. It was already 11:54 p.m. K'so, we still have a practice tomorrow morning and I have to be there early. I have to sleep now.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock…
I opened my eyes and sighed.
Why can't I sleep?
Is some stupid lovesick fool is thinking about me right now?
If I found out that that Miyagi Ryota was the one who's fantasizing about me right now, He's going to be sorry when I slap his sorry ass with my fan of doom.
I stood up and walked to the balcony and saw the stars in the sky. I opened the sliding door and breathed in the cold night air. I shivered.
Then suddenly I saw a figure walking. Who would be still out on this time of night? I wondered as I leaned and saw to my amazement that it was Rukawa.
He was walking like he did not know where he is going.
I frowned, and then grinned. So the narcoleptic can't sleep too huh?
Hmmm… Maybe he was thinking about the fire of our team?
I knew of his hidden desire, (no matter how he tries for it to stay hidden), to Sakuragi Hanamichi. And I'm really getting impatient for him to get a move on, if he doesn't make a move, he'll lose him, preferably to a spiky haired Ryonan player.
Oh yeah, speaking of Sakuragi, I wonder what is wrong about him? He didn't attend practice this afternoon, and when we visited him, he was subdued. He didn't even make a fool of himself in front of Haruko who came with us, rather he look at her with something like hurt and with a hint of loneliness.
And Rukawa was too lost on his own thoughts this afternoon to notice that the love of his life is gone. He even left early, too early in fact. It was still an hour before the practice is over that he went home without even a word to his captain, which made Ryota very angry.
Sighing, I rest my elbows on the rails of my balcony putting my chin on my palms; those two were like brothers to me and all I want is for them to be happy. Together.
I looked at the star filled sky again and closed my eyes, whispering "I wish that the two of them will be happy together, zutto"
As I opened my eyes I emitted a soft gasp. The star above me blinked. Well, well, well, maybe my wish will come true after all.
I head to my bed again and lie down, maybe this time after wishing for those two bakas I could finally sleep…
