stringer13: one of my longest chapters.

Saeki x Ryoma

Ryoma woke up feeling slightly warmer then usual. He just realized that saeki was sleeping next to him. He blushed at how close they were. He was going to go make breakfast for Saeki as a suprise, since he didn't really get to make it by himself yesterday. He slowly pulled away, trying not to wake Saeki but Saeki's strong arms pulled him back gently. He looked up to see Saeki smiling down him.

"Good morning Ryoma" Saeki said cheerfully.

"Good morning Kojirou." Ryoma said, sitting up. He yawned drowsily.

"You look so cute when you yawn Ryoma" said Saeki. Ryoma blushed at that comment. "Anyway, I have great news ofr you." said Saeki.

"What is it" asked Ryoma eagerly.

"I made a a few phone calls yesterday so that today we could play tennis with some others. We're going to meet at Atobe's mansion and we're going to play doubles matches. The pairs will be the couples, so you and me, Momo and Sengoku, Atobe and Jiroh, Oishi and Eiji, Shishido and Ohtori, Oshitari and Gakuto, Yuuta and Mizuki, and Tezuka and Fuji." Saeki explained. Then Saeki realized that he mentioned Fuji.

'Oh no he might not be completley over Fuji.' Saeki panicked. Ryoma didn't seem to care though. He was too excited about the tennis match to care. Unknown to Saeki he was completley over Fuji.

Later when they went over to Atobe's mansion, they met up with others and heard great news.

Atobe made an announcment to everyone.

"Listen up everyone. Ore-sama has an announcment to make. Even though being her with Ore-sama is a great privelege I have good news. The winner of the tournament gets a free trip to Izu for a beach trip. In other words me and Jiroh are going to Izu." Atobe announced.

"Over confident Monkey King" Ryoma muttered under his breath.

The first matches were Ryoma and Saeki vs Oshitari and Gakuto, Oishi and Eiji vs Ohtori and Shishido, Momo and Sengoku vs Atobe and Jiroh, and Yuuta and Mizuki vs Tezuka and Fuji. Before the matches started, Fuji asked if he could talk with Ryoma.

Before Ryoma walked over to him, Saeki confronted Fuji.

"Fuji don't try anything or else I'll find you and torture you to death" Saeki warned. It didn't sound like he was joking either.

"I got it, I got it. Jesus" Fuji replied.

Then Ryoma walked up to Fuji.

"What do you wamt Fuji-sempai?" asked Ryoma warily. He didn't trust Fuji even after the talk with Tezuka.

"I just want to tell you that I'm completly over you. I just want to be friends now Ryoma" Fuji explained.

"How can I believe you" asked Ryoma.

"Just trust me" Fuji responded.

"That's what you always say."

"Look just... let's just try to be friends again."

"Alright. I think we might be able to be friends again but it might take time." Ryoma stated.

"That's all I ask of you" said Fuji. Then they joined the others and the games were about to start.

The first match Ryoma and Saeki vs Oshitari and Gakuto was more of a one sided match. Oshitari and Gakuto were winning in the beginning because they had alot more double experience. They won four straight games in a row. During those games Saeki had to cover most of the court becauase Ryoma wasn't very good at doubles. Later during the game though, he strted to work well with Saeki. They won the next six games because of Gakutp's stamina problem after his moon volley. He was exsausted, so Oshitari had to cover him and they won another game with the Higuma Otoshi. Ryoma then sealed the Higuma Otoshi when he changed the course of the ball by hitting it with the net. He won another game for that. Then they won the last two games because of Saeki aiming at the open spaces of the courts. That finished the match at a score of 6-4.

The next match was Eiji and Oishi vs Shishido and Ohtori. Ther were both experienced doubles pairs so it was a close match. The first game went to the Shishido and Ohtori pair because of Ohtori's scud serve. It was ace serves all of the game. The next three games went to the Oishi and Eiji pair because of the Australian formation. But the next two games went to the Ohtori and Shishido pair because they found the weakness of the Australian formation. Then the Oishi and Eiji pir used the Oishi zone where Oishi volleys and uses Eiji's Seal Step in the back. The game ended 7-6 games. During the match though, Oishi injured his wrist and couldn't play in the next match.

The third match was Momo and Sengoku vs Atobe and Jiroh. This game was completly one sided. Even with Momo's jack knife and Sengoku's tiger cannon they didn't stand a chance against Atobe's Rondo to destruction. It ended 6-1 games.

The last match was Tezuka and Fuji vs Yuuta and Mizuki. Yuuta was pumped up. He finnaly got to face his brother in tennis. To bad for him that he was beaten 6-1 games. Even though Tezuka couldn't use his left hand because of the Atobe match they dominated them. Fuji was still in pefect shape. He easily won with Tsubame Gaeshi and Hakugei.

The semi finals started.

The first match was Ryoma and Saeki vs Oishi and Eiji. Oishi and Eiji forfeited after 3 games even thoughthey were winning 2-1 games. Oishi needed his wrist to heal for a while longer before he could play long periods of tennis.

The next match was Tezuka and Fuji vs Atobe and Jiroh. This was a very long match. Atobe and Fuji were pretty evenly matched except Fuji had he advantage because Higuma Otoshi countered the Rondo to Destruction. Even though Tezuka could only use his right hand he could still use the Tezuka Zone, which gave them the advantage over Jiroh's volleys. In the end the Tezuka Fuji pair won 7-6 games.

The last match was between the Saeki and Ryoma pair and the Tezuka and Fuji pair. It was the longest match yet. Saeki and Tezuka were pretty much even because of Tezuka using his right arm. Ryoma and Saeki ahd the advantage because he had learned a new move a few weeks ago against Sanada during the Rikkai Dai match. with that even with the three triple counters he couldn't beat Ryoma. the game ended with Ryoma and Saeki winning 7-5 games.

Atobe gave them the tickets and every couple went there seperate ways. Saeki and Ryoma went to a resturaunt. They decided to go to Benihana a resturaunt that specializes in making soba noodles. They fed each other lovingly.

When they got home they looked for a good movie to watch. Saeki found some good horror movies in Ryoga's movie case. He decided on "IT".

"Hey Ryoma heres a good movie" he said showing hm his selection.

"No way! I hate horror movies! No way will I ever watch one." Ever since Ryoga showed him "Chuckie" when he was 5 years old he was traumitized every time he saw a horror movie.

"Don't worry Ryoma I'll be watching it with you" he said as he popped the dvd into the machine. Ryoma was about to protest when Saeki lifted him onto his lap. He kissed him sweetly telling him not to worry.

While the movie was going on, Saeki wrapped his arms around the younger boy's waist. Ryoma wasn't nearly as scared as he usually was. When It was eating people in the movie, Ryoma tensed up. In response, Saeki nipped on Ryoma's ear telling him to calm dodwn. He didn't want his boyfriend to be afraid. The movie ended with Ryoma falling asleep in Saeki's lap.
