For those who have read all the chapters (including the - chapters), or my dear older readers (Sorry, i know i haven't update this for a super long time!), I would encourage you to read this again. The scenes are the same, but the dialogues are slightly different and thus affecting how the next scene would play out. For new readers, you may continue to read the - chapters, however do note that i am going to deviate from my original idea, hence the newer chapters though may look similar, however it will eventually diverge from the original course.
Now let us begin the story...
"Ryo-chan..Ryo-chan..It's time to wake up, Ryo-Chan!"
There was a tinge of agitation in the usual gentle and calm voice.
I rubbed my tired eyes and open them slightly, trying to tolerate the beam of light shining into my pupil. As my vision regain its focus, I could blurrily made out the numbers on the digital clock. It's already 5.50am. I jolted out of my bed, only to slump into his arms again.
"Silly, you should not have sit up so quickly." There was a tinge of amusement in his voice now.
I winced and slowly open my eyes again, taking a quick look around my surroundings. The familiar green walls, with bookshelves filled with difficult looking English books. That simple yet elegant wooden study table at the corner of the room, which is usually kept neat and tidy, but it is particularly messy today, with papers, which contained my drawings, sprawled across the table.
I then close my eyes and take a deep breathe of the refreshing smell of the shampoo filling the room.. ah, Mitsu-nii must have just showered.
Lost in his endearing smell, I snuggled into the crook of his shoulder, which seems to fit my head rather comfortably.
"Let me sleep in some more, Mitsu-nee" I mumbled.
"No Ryoma, we need to be ready by 6am else father would punish us!" It seems like he is used to this scene by now.
Oblivious to the current predicament at hand, I continued drinking in the distinct Mitsu-nii's smell. How reassuring his smell is, it made me feel so relaxed and happy. Within seconds, I fell asleep again.
Mitsu-nii gave a chuckle, before he literally pulled my body out from bed - like always- and dragged me to the bathroom as usual. Well, as long as the one that is pulling me is Mitsu-nii, I need not to worry much, and can still sleep with ease.
"I am going to – hey Ryoma, wake up and change out of your pyjamas now!" he tried to be fierce. He really tried. But he would be more convincing if he had not concurrently proceed to unbutton my pyjamas at the same time.
"I am sleeply Mitsu-nii" I whimpered, before nodding off to sleep again.
KUNIMITSU's POV
Ryoma have never failed to impress Kunimitsu with his ability to sleep anytime and everywhere. He let out a sigh, and proceed to unbutton Ryoma's pyjamas-like always-.
-8 minutes to 6am-
His long and delicate fingers work around Ryoma's button, touching the buttons with such tender touch, and using just the right amount of force, pushing the button out from the hole. The buttons, as obedient as always, seemed to glide out of the hole gracefully, allowing Kunimitsu to get his job done as soon as possible.
As he is working through each button, his heartbeat seems to race even faster. It just feels so wrong to be doing this, especially when Ryoma is still sleeping away, displaying that cute and angelic look. But it will be even more wrong if Ryoma was up and they are…unbuttoning each other's and - Kunimitsu smack himself on his head violently.
'I don't have a choice, or else we will be late!' Kunimitsu reasoned with himself, pushing aside all the tempting thought he have.
Once he had finished unbuttoning the pyjamas, he tried to look away, and hurriedly put on a hakama on Ryoma. That means he would need to touch Ryoma, here..and..there….Kunimitsu blushed heavily, as his experienced fingers set to work around Ryoma's body. That may sound sick, but Kunimitsu had long known every inch of Ryoma by heart. He can even close his eyes, and still be able to precisely locate Ryoma's body with ease. But there is absolutely no reason why he would need to close his eyes. Even though he swore that he will never give in to his temptation, but there needs to be a balance, balance between ethics and…and…his-WHAT ARE YOU THINKING OF! He is just concerned as a brother, yea that's it, he needs to ensure that Ryoma is not injured anywhere, as an older brother. He needs to keep a look out for Ryoma in every possible way, so this is just out of pure brother's love-wait!- I mean brotherly concern!
He took a sneak peek..yea, at least he tried not to look but..sometimes..he will just take a small and brief look. Ryoma's smooth and luscious skin is so appealing not forgetting that messy, ruffled and teddy-bear like hair with a green tint. He usually looked cute and angelic, but when they are inside the bathroom, somehow, he looked even more.. loveable, more beautiful, as he exposes his beautiful and flawless skin and body. His body proportion is just in the right ratio, which always leaves Kunimitsu wondering just how more sexy he will become when he becomes more matured and starts tennis. Just by imagining, he could not help but tremble. When he glanced up, he saw a magnificent sight of an angel. The lips, the full and small lips looked just like petals on a flower, so pink, so delicate, shiny and so..tempting. Resisting his uncontrollable urge, he hurriedly look away and look at his watch instead.
2 minutes left! Shit, he spent that much time just looking at Ryoma? He had better hurry!
After completing the delicate job of putting on Ryoma's hakama, he hastily grab hold of the young boy's head and gagged his mouth open, hurriedly brush his teeth and comb his messy hair.
At 6am exactly, the Tezuka duo are up and ready as they kneel on the tatami mat (with Kunimitsu sweating profusely. He claimed that it is just some weird morning symptoms of his, but we all know too well what's the cause *wink), waiting for their dad, to start their day in the 'proper Tezuka' way.
I woke up-again. This time round, a more matured golden eyed senior greeted me. Geez, why do I always have to bump into golden eyed people? I thought to myself
"Ah, you are awake. I am Tezuka Kunimitsu, Captain of Seigaku Tennis Club. I sincerely apologise for what my member had done earlier. "
'Tezuka Kunimitsu? Tezuka? Kunimitsu? That sounds so painfully familiar, where did I heard it before?'
I tried to remember what landed me here, and then I just happened to glance at that senior's right arm. T appears that he took the hit for me.
"That's pointless" I carelessly muttered it out.
"What's pointless?" He raised his eyebrow.
"It doesn't matter whether that racket hits me or not. And yet you took that hit for me. How do you play tennis now, with that arms of yours, captain?" I asked sarcastically.
He threw me a questioning look.
I sighed, and rolled up my sleeve, revealing my prosthetic arms to him.
"Since you are going to be my captain sooner or later, you should know about this. If that racket were to hit my right arm, at most I would need to get a new prosthetic arms. But prosthetic arms are indeed expensive so I gotta thank you for helping me to avoid the hefty cost. Though I am not sure the price you paid just to protect this lump of plastic was worth it or not."
I looked at the bandaged arm of his, and somehow, I don't know why I feel so pissed that he would just throw himself just like that and got himself injured. 'What is he thinking about? Does he not treasure his arms?'
Tezuka furrowed his eyebrow. He do not like how nonchalant his potential junior is about his own safety. Fuji could sense the discomfort in Tezuka and was about to interrupt the negative atmosphere before Ryoma took the lead.
"Don't be so reckless anymore in the future, bu~chou~san"
Both Fuji and Tezuka stared at Ryoma with disbelief.
"Same applies to you too. I do not want my junior's plastic arms to be flying all over the place during training too. What happens if you are in a match and your arms are suddenly unavailable. Taking care of yourself… and the state of your 'plastic arms' is your responsibility, just like the rest of the other tennis players."
Now it's Ryoma's turn to look up at Tezuka with an incredulous look.
"Huh?"
I will update this next month. Till then! And please do review! They are GREATLY appreciated 3
