Saeki x Ryoma
Ryoma was shocked at what he just heard. He did like Saeki. Heck may have even loved him but he was still scared. He never wanted to fall in love again. He might get hurt again. He opened the closet door and ran out the room with tears in his eyes. He was so confused. When Saeki saw Ryoma running across the room, threw the door, he looked stunned.
'Oh no!' he thought. 'He heard me confessing my feelings. He ran out the room after Ryoma. Ryoma was running towards the park he realized. He could barely see him though. Ryoma was way out front, about 100 meters away. God he was a fast runner! No wonder he could get to the net so fast.
Ryoma ran into the entrance of the park. The park wasn't crowded today so he didn't have to look where he was going. He rubbed the tears out of his eyes and moved his hair to the side which was in his eyes. He wanted to be alone! Didn't Saeki get that? He ran into the forest of the park. The forest was huge it was about a mile long so he was sure Saeki wouldn't find him and he could be alone. He sat down back at a tree and cried his eyes out. He didn't want to cry when someone else was around so he was lucky. It was embarrassing. He was also lucky that he could run now since the cast was off. He got off from the tree and decided to find a bench. While he was walking and found a bench he tripped over a root from an old sakura tree. He fell to the ground in pain. He tried to get up but he couldn't He had twisted his ankle.
'Damn it' he though grimly 'how am I supposed to get home now that I tweaked my leg' he wondered. He crawled to the bench without using his feet and sat up using his arms. He crawled up on the bench and took off his sock and shoe of his injured leg. His ankle was completely red from the fall. He quickly put back on is shoe and sock.
He then decided to think about his precious people to try to calm down. He knew whenever he was upset his friends could cheer him up. He thought about the time he first played with Momo in doubles. He laughed silently thinking about how bad he and Momo were at their first try at doubles.
He also thought about the first time he saw Kawamura-sempai hold a racket. He put on his cocky face back then but on the inside he was scared and was wondering if his sempai was sane.
He then thought of the time when his buchou left for Germany and Oishi-sempai was their captain. He was a good captain like Tezuka but not in the same way. Unlike Tezuka he wasn't that strict and was kind. He chuckled at the memory of the time Oishi asked all the regulars if there was something bothering them. Ryoma may have not showed it but he was greatly touched. He never had met someone as kind as Oishi in Japan or America.
He thought of all the times Kikumaru gave him noogies and hugged or attacked him. Same thing in Kikumaru's case. He always thought of this sempai as a big teddy bear.
He thought about Kaidoh or as Momo called him Mamushi. He always thought their fights were entertaining.
Last and not least was Inui. He first thought Inui had a weird way of playing tennis but when he found out he was training a lot he was regretful that he thought of him like that.
He then heard a rumbling in the bushes. He jumped up in surprise but fell down on the bench because of his ankle. From the bushes came Saeki.
"There you are" said Saeki "I've been looking everywhere for you." He had a look of worry on his face.
Ryoma began to cry again seeing Saeki's face. He felt guilty.
The same thing could be said for Saeki. He thought it was his fault for Ryoma's crying.
"Ryoma its okay if you don't like me that." He said "even though I love you I'll give you up."
"No!" Ryoma yelled. "I do like you! It's just that I don't want to be hurt again. I don't want to be hurt again." He mumbled.
"Ryoma I love you I'd never hurt you." Saeki stated.
That's what Shusuke said" Ryoma yelled.
"I'm not like him!" Saeki retorted. "I love you." He mumbled.
"Do you really love me?" he asked. Saeki nodded without another thought. "Then kiss me." He said shyly. Saeki didn't need to be told twice. He took Ryoma in his arms and kissed him passionately. He gently entered his tongue in Ryoma's mouth. He explored Ryoma's mouth eagerly wanting to know everything about it. He then gently sucked on Ryoma's bottom lip but he then stopped because Ryoma needed air.
"How was that" asked Saeki. Ryoma blushed. He was panting very hard.
"Can you walk" asked Saeki. Ryoma shook his head. Then, without warning he scooped Ryoma in his arms and took him home.
Unknown to them there was a certain Echizen Nanako watching.
'I knew my plan would work she thought.
