Thanks to demoncat13, Shanu and Faoiltierna for reviewing and Blue bird of paradise for favouriting!

Shanu: Don't mind! :) I couldn't not start it with 'puri' XD Hope you enjoy this one too, and thank you for the review!

Just refreshing, this is a companion drabble to Kikumaru Eiji's one. Some of the phrases used might hold more significance if you go back and read that one again ^_~

Oishi Shuichiro

When Oishi saw the flash of red disappear overboard, his mind went blank.

As Momo ran over to the side, the situation became horribly clear.

"Momo!"

Eiji – his partner – had been pushed off the side.

"EIJI!"

Nothing slowed down like in movies; rather, it had all speed up. Fears of Eiji being swept under the ship—

"Oishi," Fuji said (when had he gotten there?). "Eiji is safe; Atobe just pulled him from the water."

Oishi Shuichiro couldn't believe it until Eiji hugged him, as if worried that he would disappear. He hugged back just as tightly for the same reason.


Just to clear it up, Momo isn't mentioned much for a reason. I took some leeway with this and had Oishi only truly notice Eiji going overboard with his mind too focused on that to really register Momo following over. Fuji only mentioned Eiji because, as a tensai (and by just being Fuji), he knew that was where Oishi's mind was.

Once again, this drabble is open to interpretation. You can see it as two very close friends or something more; if the something more offends you, then see it as something less.

Read & Review and let me know what you think!
