Stringer13: should I make this into a lemon later on?

Saeki x Ryoma

While Saeki was wondering about what he just thought, the rookie trio went up to the bed to talk to him.

"Oi, Echizen" the annoying boy named Horio cried, "The other regulars are coming to visit you soon."

"That's nice" Ryoma mumbled nonchalantly. He didn't really want all of the regulars to visit him. He hadn't confronted Fuji since that day. He finally had gotten over Fuji. He knew even if they made up this would happen again.

'I won't be hurt again!' he thought. 'Even if I never date anyone ever again' he thought triumphantly. He tried convincing himself that but he was slowly falling in love all over again. To the person that has been taking care of him more precisely. In other words Saeki.

'I wonder if he feels the same way.' He questioned. 'No! Bad Ryoma never fall in love again! But why'd he kiss me. Probably to…..' No matter what Ryoma thought of it all came down to the same solution. Saeki liked him! He still didn't know what to say to Saeki though. He could either tell him how he felt or try to never fall in love again. He had to think about it.

While he kept wondering about this he forgot about Tomoka. Sigh. What a relief. Then he was rudely interrupted in his own little word by that loud mouth Horio.

"Oi Echizen don't ignore me!" the male loud mouth yelled.

'God he is so annoying! To bad I don't have the strength to shove a sock in his mouth' thought Ryoma glumly. 'Oh well it looks like everyone else has had enough with this non stop talking.

Then a voice yelled loudly "Shut up Horio." Everyone looked at where the voice came from. Everyone's eyes opened wide when they realized that the one who screamed was the so called quiet girl named Sakuno. Everyone looked at her strangely, even Ryoma. He was especially surprised at her. He knew her as the girl that always mumbled quietly.

"Gomen" she said quetly. "I don't know how I lost control of my emotions.

'Looks like the sheep, has turned out to be a wolf." Ryoma thought smugly. He was surprised though.

Then a loud bang came from the door. In came the Regulars of Seigaku. Ryoma looked pale looking at two of them but he was happy to see the rest of his team. Momo looked as cheerful as ever. Okay not anymore looks like he got into a fight with Kaidoh about who knows what. Taka-san seemed as kind and shy as always. It looked like he wasn't holding his racket. Ryoma sighed in relief. He didn't want to deal with hearing burning all day long. He already had a headache thanks to Horio and Tomoka.

Then he saw Kikumaru, who looked very happy to see his best little buddy, Ochibi. Next to him was the mother hen of Seigaku holding his hand? Inui was looking at them mumbling "Data".

Then he laid his eyes on the ones he despised. Fuji had his eyes closed like always and had that sheepish smile. Next to him was the emo captain who looked at Ryoma hate filled inside of him. It seemed that Fuji was thinking a lot about him by the look in his eyes. Oh well Ryoma would never forgive him now.

Momo then the first one to react at seeing Ryoma jumped at him giddily. He completely forgot about the fight he was having with Kaidoh. He must have really missed his kohai. He was his best friend after all. He was like the little brother he never had.

"How are you feeling kid" Momo asked. "When will you be released?" he asked eagerly.

"I get to leave in a few days but I can't play tennis for two months." He said flatly not happy that he couldn't play his favorite thing to do.

"Oh" Momo said glumly "Well obviously you can't ride on my bike for a while so we can walk to school earlier together."

"Sure" Ryoma said. He was happy to travel to school with his friend but he didn't want to wake up even earlier. He sighed in his mind.
