I know how to make Buchou Miserable – Fuji
"Psst, I heard Buchou and Sakuno-chan is going out yeah?"
Fuji smirked as he noticed Inui smiling proudly with his hands for once not wrapped around a book as he folded them across his chest.
"Nya! He is so lucky! Sakuno-chan is so cute!"
"Fshh…"
"10 laps now!"
Tezuka barked as he came upon these gossiping girls. True that Sakuno was his sweet girlfriend with the heavenly obento for him every day of the week, and that he viciously placed a claim saying any of his fan girls hurt her, will suffer consequences.
Still he didn't like to give his team anymore gossip than they already have. But the only reason why he wasn't too scared to show his teammates this reality was because he would not need to hear the teasing of Momoshiro and Eiji about Ryoma and Sakuno.
He personally didn't like that rumour now that Sakuno was HIS girlfriend. He didn't even know he had these personalities floating around him until he dated Sakuno. He became possessive, worried, and sometimes insecure.
He also can't take himself from her even if hell decided he should. Fuji smiled as his slipped his arm around Tezuka as he said in an evil tone.
"Ooh, make it 5. For I know how to make your life miserable buchou."
"15, because you threatened me."
Tezuka never hesitates, that was what being a captain means. Fuji threw a small cheeky smile as he walked out of the door cackling. Tezuka was careful for the whole day but found it was probably a false alarm. What he should have known through years of experience is that Fuji never does false alarms.
The next day, Fuji talked to Sakuno and Ryoma. Ryoma and Sakuno were now on talking terms with each other, which many would consider an improvement in their relationship. Ryoma secretly liked the new Sakuno, for buchou managed to make her smile and has greatly improved on her tennis skills.
What was better is that she never stutters anymore and rarely blushes at the sight of him. Once Fuji caught sight of Tezuka, he gave a big push on Ryoma who came stumbling only this time, he used his arms and legs to stop himself from landing on her. Tezuka caught sight of this, and he remembered his first awakening to his romantic feelings for Sakuno.
For that reason alone, he felt worried. One, he knew that Ryoma never really disliked her. Two, by doing this may awaken his feelings for her. Now he didn't want that. Ryoma apologized as he got up but Tezuka was already there helping Sakuno up as she smiled at her boyfriend and then at Ryoma.
"It's ok. It wasn't intentional."
"Chiz."
Ryoma yanked his cap lower shielding Sakuno from seeing his flushed face. Tezuka did see it on the other hand. Once after school training started, Tezuka had been haunted by the thoughts of insecurity when he caught Ryoma sneaking peeks at Sakuno. Now he was really miserable, he couldn't focus well.
What if Echizen confesses his feelings to her?
What if Sakuno still likes him?
What will happen to me if they want to be together?
Why can't I just walk away when she says so?
She hasn't said so. Has she been stealing looks at him too?
Maybe they had reciprocal feelings…
She is going to break up with me.
I will smile when she does so, because I need to be happy for her.
Damn it, I am losing control. I feel like killing Echizen, I mean he is the one with a tennis ball which Sakuno drew his face on…
Sakuno has been in love with him longer than she liked me.
I can't even best the younger man in tennis in a few more years.
Plus he is her age… Tomoe always talked about her crush on Ryoma… From the sounds of it, it seemed pretty deep to me.
Heartache, hey… is this a new illness to my Eros Fatality? Perhaps it is time to let it go. I will recover with a few battle scars.
Suddenly a voice rang out beside him, he turned to look as he looked back at the tennis courts after knowing who was the person beside him. Sakuno had been watching her boyfriend drag himself from the change room lockers and made his team work harder today.
She knew he was very occupied with the things in his mind, because Eiji managed to slip away to steal some cakes from the cook room. Momoshiro is about to pick a fight with Kaidoh also… Ryoma is already holding a ponta can.
She also knows that Tezuka had also seen the scenes that unfurled before his eyes this morning, yet she knew no words could change anything, so she curled her fingers over his hand as she felt his fingers curled around hers in return.
They quietly held hands as he supervised. He found that the miserable feeling was slowly ebbing away once he took hold of her hand. Once more his vision was cleared as he continued to cling onto her hand and barking the orders that were long due.
They even managed to yank Eiji back for most of them got extra 10 laps after the tiring 15 laps just before they started. But with Sakuno there, he was very sharp and attentive to the rest of the activities happening there…
Sakuno loves me, and that is all I need to believe in. Until the day she tells me otherwise.
There was no doubt a small curl on his lips which also told her she did her job as she leaned closer to him contented that he understood her underlying meaning.
I'll never leave you.
Fuji smirked at the whole team as they paid him excluding Ryoma and Inui as Inui betted with Fuji but Ryoma was never part of this scheme as he didn't understand why they were all trading money.
"I told you I could make him miserable."
"Fsshh! I never seen such a forlorn look on buchou's face."
"Nya! So sempai really loves Sakuno-chan."
"I think I am glad that they were happy. I am willing to pay the cash."
End.
