'Kikumaru, I want to bring you somewhere. Today is as special as a day as our last day of school.'
'Hai Oishi'
It was nearly 5pm and Oishi wanted to bring Kikumaru to a familiar place. A place that they used to visit frequently. They took a leisurely walk from the Seigaku gates. It has been a year since they took this same route together. There was no need for words to be said. Just like in the old times, each of them understood the other perfectly. They took their time to take in their surroundings. The things that have and haven't changed since they separated. It was surprisingly peaceful as they walked.
At last, they reached their destination. It was situated in a nice spot. There was a slight breeze that blew by several times. They walked closer to it. It was their favourite place. It was the place where they came after every match that they had lost and they would review the match together. It was the place where they first agreed to be a doubles team. It was the place where they agreed to call themselves the golden pair. This special place is the green container.
The first thing that they did was to walk around the green container together. They came to the spot where the words 'Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji, the golden pair forever' and the two smiley faces were written. A smile started to form on Kikumaru's face.
'Nya Oishi. Golden pair forever! It has been one year since we left Seigaku and we have just met up. Do you think if we could really stay as the golden pair forever?'
'I am sure we can.'
Oishi then looked towards the sky. The sun was due to set soon. The golden pair climbed up onto the container and lay side by side with their heads facing the sky. The yellowish red sun was clearly seen in the sky. A small cool breeze blew across them.
Under the sky, the golden pair talked about their lives after their last day at Seigaku. There was so much to talk about. They were now in new tennis teams and were back to being the freshman again.
'Oishi! It sure felt weird to be called a freshman again. Soon, we would be in our second year in high school.'
'Yes, being freshman is a bit weird after once being the seniors in the school.'
They continued talking about their lives. Then they reflected on all the past memories that they had together. The happiness of winning a game together, the sadness of losing a game together, how they managed synchronization and finally, the many training sessions that they had together.
A flock of birds flew across in the sky. They were flying freely in the sky, just like their last day of school and when Kikumaru went back to the container a few days before. But unlike that day when Kikumaru was alone, this time, the golden pair was together again. They had united under the same sky around a year after they graduated from Seigaku.
The sun started to set. Its yellow colour turned to a bright orange. The sun got lower and lower.
The golden pair lay peaceful and silent as they watched the sunset together. It had been a long time since they were this peaceful. It was a beautiful evening.
Soon, the sun had set and the stars came out. It was just like their last day of school. The stars were twinkling brightly.
The golden pair decided that it was time to leave for home yet again. However, they were very reluctant to leave. The last time they left, it took one year to meet up again.
'Nya Oishi. I want to play a match against you someday. I want to beat you again.'
'Eiji! Why don't we meet up next Saturday at the tennis courts and we can play our match there?'
'Hai!'
'For now, we have to part the ways again'
'I guess so'
'Goodbye Eiji! See you on Saturday. Golden pair forever?'
'Golden pair forever! See you on Saturday'
And with that, they made their own way home. As Kikumaru walked home, he put his hand in his pocket and held on to his marker. This marker was more important to him now. It would serve as a reminder of Oishi and their promise to be the golden pair forever.
How is the story? I initially wanted to end the story at this chapter. But I guess I should continue? There is an opening for a continuation but this can also be the closing chapter. I am still undecided on whether to continue.
