Momoshiro's Past Love

Chapter 2: Attraction?

The sky was of orange hue which indicates the sunset. A boy with raven-black hair and golden eyes at the age of 15 is grumpily walking towards a nearby park. He is wearing the Seigaku Junior High uniform and is also wearing a white cap. As he walks, he keeps mumbling something about…

"Stupid sempais… Making me go to the park… Stupid Momo-sempai…"

When he arrived at the park, he scanned the area for any sign of his sempai. Looking around, he noticed that the park is completely deserted. He then began to think that Momo has left already and is probably eating in some nearby restaurant. He then arrived at the playground and saw that it was also deserted and began to leave when he noticed a figure on one of the swings. Curious to who it might be, he began making his way to the swings. As he began walking, he could hear a soft hum coming from the stranger. As he got closer, he recognized the person swinging back and forth. It was his sempai.

His eyes widen a bit as he looked at scene in front of him. His sempai is slowly swinging back and forth, humming a soft melody, the breeze playing with his hair and the sunset as its background. He also noticed that this is the first time he saw a peaceful expression on his sempai's face. It looks so unreal. He's even wondering if he's dreaming. To put it simply, the scene in front of him is breath-taking. He was too busy staring that he hadn't even noticed that the humming has stop and his sempai is calling him. He was snap out of his thoughts when Momo shouted his name…

"Echizen!"

"Huh?"

"You okay?" Momo ask worry evident in his voice.

It took Echizen a minute to remember that he'd been staring at Momo for a while. He then put his cap down to hide his blushing face and fortunately Momo was too worried to notice.

"Ne, you okay?" Momo ask again.

"Yeah…" He answered.

"You've been staring for a while… that's not like you… what's up?" Momo ask still worried.

"I don't stare and nothing's up."

"Come on! I know something's wrong!" Momo whined.

Echizen then look at Momo.

"You look so…"

Momo blink at him and said…

"So?"

"You look so childish." Echizen said with a blank look on his face.

"Hmph!" Momo pouted cutely.

'I can't believe I'm thinking this… but he does look cute. Argh! Why am I thinking like this?!? Momo-sempai is just so childish… well… childish in a cute way.' Echizen thought with a smirk gracing his lips. Unfortunately, Momo noticed.

"What are you smirking about?" Momo ask curious.

"Nandemonai."

"Why are you here anyway?"

"Oishi-sempai asked me to look for you."

"Eh? Why's that?"

"He's worried about you."

"Why would he worry about me?"

Echizen look at him as if he had just grown another head.

"You don't remember?"

"Huh?"

Now Momo's even more confused. He knows that Oishi is the mother hen of Seigaku and he tends to worry a lot but why worry about him? As far as he knows, he's not sick or hurt… well… not physically hurt. That is until Echizen reminded him of what he did to make the mother hen of Seigaku to worry.

"You said you'll just go to the park to see if there's someone selling hamburgers at the park or if there's a nearby restaurant. He began to panic when an hour has passed and there was still no sign of you."

Now he remembered. The ex-Seigaku regulars with Echizen decided to have a little gathering today to play tennis together. He remembered asking Tezuka-buchou's permission to go to the park and he certainly remembered that food is not the reason. Like he's gonna tell them that.

"I've been gone that long?"

Echizen just nods.

"But why you?"

"What do you mean, why me?"

"If you didn't want to come, why did you come? You could just decline."

"They ask me to."

Momo grinned.

"What?"

"They didn't ask you. They threaten you." Momo said still grinning.

"…"

Momo burst out laughing. "I knew it!"

"Che…" Echizen then turned around to leave.

"Oi! Where are you going?"

"Back to the tennis court."

Momo stood up and followed Echizen out. Momo was walking behind him. Both walk in silence until Echizen spoke…

"You're quiet."

"Huh?" Momo ask startled.

"You're usually talkative."

Momo stopped on his tracks. 'He's right. How could I let my guard down? I should be more careful.' With that thought in mind, he put his happy mask back on and decided to walk beside Echizen.

"It's unlike you to be worried."

"I'm not worried."

"You've grown."

Echizen smirk. "It was just a late growth spurt. I'm taller than you now."

"Hey! You're just taller by an inch."

"Hn."

"Brat! Anyway, there's no one selling hamburgers there. It was really a shame…" Momo started to talk non-stop about how there was no one selling hamburgers and so on.

Echizen just kept quiet. 'Well… it seems his back to normal. But I've got this strange feeling that something's wrong with him.' He then looked at Momo from the corner of his eyes. 'If ever there's a problem I'm sure he'll tell me.'

Momo noticed Echizen looking at him from the corner of his eyes. He just kept talking and talking while thinking…

'I'm sorry Echizen. I feel guilty for hiding things from you but… It's for the best. Let's keep it this way.'

Echizen averted his gaze towards the road. He began to think back on the previous happenings.

'Before… at the park… I just thought of Momo-sempai as simply breath-taking. Just a while ago… I thought of him being cute. There's this weird feeling whenever I look at him. But why? He's not at all cute… he's… childish. He's also noisy, talkative, stubborn, clumsy, and tends to eat a lot but… he's a good friend, kind, caring, understanding, and tends to worry a lot sometimes. Sigh… I don't know what to think anymore. Could I possibly be attracted to him? Nah… impossible… besides we're both guys.'

The two tennis players just kept walking towards their destination.

Author's Note: Hi there! Sorry if Ryoma or Takeshi's OOC but I did give a warning before the start of the chapter. Sorry if there's nothing much going on between them. The others will appear in the next chapter. The fanboys will also appear in the next chapter!

By the way, for the next chapter I need a description on what Momoshiro household and Momo's room would be like. It needs to be big not as big as Atobe's but big. So please give me ideas. It will surely help me!

Sempai – seniors

Nandemonai – nothing
