A bird flew past Ryoma's window as he squinted his eyes to look at the bare ceiling above him. It was now the last day of the week and he was still feeling a bit embarrassed about what had happened at the flashy restaurant. The pictures of Atobe kissing him on the lips still remained in his head and he could not do anything to clear them away. His reaction was only led to the cold shower that he decided to take for the morning hoping it would cool him off a bit from getting flustered.

His thoughts then made their way in Tezuka's direction and images of his face and the stern voice he had, managed to get into his mind. He was careless to let Tezuka's face find its way into his head. He took a deep breath in and began to wash his hair with strawberry scented shampoo and scrubbed at his hair viciously. Feeling he got everywhere, he dowsed his head under the running water, washing away all the left over shampoo.

He finished with his shower ten minutes later and dried himself off. After he gave a chance for the extra water to leave his body, he got dressed, sprayed some axe on him and headed down the stairs. His cat was resting peacefully on his bed and he felt no need to disturb him. His father was already up and reading a women's magazine. He looked over at the table and saw three bowls of rice, four egg rolls and a couple of rice balls. He sat at his usual seat and began to eat some rice.

"OI, ECHIZEN" Ryoma heard Momoshiro's voice outside and he began coughing on his rice.

"Be careful Ryoma-kun" His cousin spoke out and sat across from him.

"Yeah..." He ignored the greeting and continued to eat.

"Ryoma, I think it's time for you to go off to school now!" His father came from behind and began to push him out of the chair and out the door, handing him a bento box at the same time.

"Uncle!" The man just grinned at his neice and pushed Ryoma's back gently, causing him to step out more.

"Echizen, hop on" Ryoma stared at Momoshiro for a moment but he turned away and began walking.

"Oi, Echizen, what's wrong?" No response.

"If this is about Atobe-san..."

"So you saw and you didn't make an effort to help"

"I wasn't expecting him to do that...he's officially a competitor"

"What?" Momoshiro was talking to himself.

"Ah, Nothing nothing!" Momo continued to ride the bike beside him.

They travelled beside each other in silence after that awkward moment and got to school before they knew it. The bell rang for students to come in and get to their classes. Momoshiro rushed toward the bike rack while Ryoma walked inside. He sighed to himself and watched Echizen walking to class. He quickly locked his bike up and hurried for class.

"I-Inui, Momo said we shouldn't show Tezuka!" Inui had a crazy look behind his glasses.

"It would get interesting if Tezuka could join in this small fight don't you think?" Kawamura sweat dropped.

The crazy scientist chuckled with delight as he sent a saved copy of the image to Tezuka. The bell had rung a few minutes after, telling everyone to go for lunch. The two of them heard the bell and walked out of the class and into the halls.

"Inui-senpai, have you seen Echizen?" The freshman asked.

"No, I haven't, did you check the courts?"

"Yeah, he's disappeared!"

"Hm...Kawamura, perhaps he's thinking about that?"

"That?" Hiro asked.

"Inui, don't tell them"

"Echizen was kissed last night by Keigo Atobe, though he didn't know it was Echizen"

"Echizen was?" Hiro asked and with a simple nod from Inui, he fainted.

Inui smiled as he and Kawamura walked away, leaving Hiro to be awakened by the help of his friends.

Ryoma blushed a little as he remembered the day that Tezuka took him into his arms. The sun's rays hit his face but were a sort of blocked by a large tree.

Flash Back~

It was good weather but dark clouds were on their way. Tezuka had informed everyone that he would be practicing for a while. Ryoma watched as Tezuka boldly stepped out on to the courts. He sneaked out of the room and went outside without anyone noticing. His heart was pounding by the time he ahd gotten outside and on the courts.

"Echizen...want to play a bit of tennis?" Without hesitating, he accepted the invitation.

His heart felt like it was going to burst and he couldn't concentrate well. He got a racket out from his bag that was left on the bench, and readied himself for the ball. Tezuka threw the ball into the air and slammed the ball with his racket. The ball passed Ryoma before he had a chance to hit it.

Again and again, Ryoma was missing the ball all because he felt like he needed to talk about something. His thoughts of Tezuka were getting in the way of his tennis. Tezuka saw that Ryoma wasn't his usual self and stopped the match.

"What is it?" Ryoma looked away and lowered his hood. He couldn't believe himself. He was actually crying, the whole tear situation that happens when you get too stressed or emotional about something.

"It's...nothing" Ryoma wiped away the tears carefully, trying to make it look like he was wiping away the sweat.

Before Ryoma knew it, Tezuka was in front of him in an instant. Ryoma had to step back a bit to see him better. Tezuka saw tears in his eyes and acted on instinct. He hugged him.

"T-Tezuka-senpai!" Ryoma's tears stopped coming out and he felt a little warmer.

Everyone else inside the room knew they were sort of crushing on each other, it was just a matter of time. Everyone was expecting it except for Momoshiro.

The feeling was weird and the even strangest thing was that it started to rain. Tezuka didn't let Ryoma go but held him a little tighter. Ryoma was still wondering what to react with. He wanted to hug the man back but something felt strange and he knew it. Instead of hugging him back, he cried like a little kid.

"Tell me what's wrong Ryoma" Ryoma blushed when he heard Tezuka say his name.

"I...I like you...senpai.." Echizen hugged him back.

Tezuka was a little shocked but brought Ryoma's face toward his own, placing his lips on his own. The kiss was simple but sweet.

End flash back.

'Tezuka...' Ryoma rolled over and cried to himself silently.

A/N: Well well well. I have to go to work so just review please ^^
