I do not own Prince of Tennis

Warning: Ryoma is a bit OC but this how I want my story to go so deal. Thank you.

Chapter 3

RECAP: "I'm sorry."
"That's not going to cut it! I loved you! You said I can trust you… You promised you wouldn't betray me… but I guess you were lying about that too." Tears began to fall to the floor.

"Ryo-"

"Don't call me that… We were never close…"

"Ryo…" Fuji tried to hug me but pushed him away.

"Was it fun?"

"What?"

"Seeing me fall for you so hard when you felt nothing towards me."

"No! I do lo-" I shook my head and took a step back away from him.

"DON'T JOKE AROUND! DON'T EVER COME NEAR ME EVER AGAIN!" I yelled and ran out leaving Fuji and Tezuka who was shaking his head.

"You brought this on yourself." Was all Tezuka said before leaving Fuji there who began to punch the floor in anger.

I ran away not wanting to look back. I somehow ended up at a park bench. I didn't care where I was just as long as I was far away from Seigaku. I didn't want to see Fuji or anyone who already might've found out what happened… I don't need anymore pity… I sat on the bench and cried not noticing a figure watching me not too far away.

"Echizen?" a familiar voice said. I looked up coming face to face to a purple-ish colored haired man. I didn't say anything to him but looked away from him not wanting to show him my tears.

"Oi Brat, listen to Ore-sama and tell him why you are crying."

"I'm not crying!" I growled trying to hide my face.

"Brat I'm not blind. Now tel-" I cut him off by surprising him by jumping into his arms and buried my face into his chest. He froze in shock but let me cry in his arms.

"I loved him! I fucking began to love him!" I yelled.

"Who? Tezuka?"

"No! Fucking Fuji Syuusuke!" I half yelled half cried.

"Everything was a joke to him! I was just a cause to him! He just loved me only because my fucking PARENTS told him to!" I cried harder. I felt his arms wrap around me and held me tighter until I calmed down.

"C'mon let's go to my house." He said while I gave him a confused look.

"I'm guessing you don't want to go to your house." He said.

"Hn…" I nodded and went with him to his limo.

- - - -

I ran out of the school not even caring about practice. I went straight to Ryoma's house.

I knocked on the door waiting outside for a while until someone finally opened the door.

"Fuji-san?" Nanako said.

"Hi Nanako-san… Is Ryoma here?"

"Oh… I'm sorry no. Why don't you come in for a while? He might be heading home right now." She said opening the door some more so that I could come in.

"Thank you." I said before coming inside.

"Sit down. I'll make you some tea." She said pointing out the couch before going inside the kitchen. I sat on the couch waiting. 'Where's Ryoma?' I asked myself until I came out of my thoughts by a purring sound. I looked down to find Karupin rubbing her head on my leg. I picked up the cat and put her on my lap to pet her.

"Fuji-san?" another voice said. I looked up and saw Ryoma's parents.

"Echizen-san." I nodded. But looked down in shame.

"What's wrong? Where's Ryoma?" Rinko asked sitting on the couch with me and Nanjiroh on the chair across from them.

"He found out." I said continuing to pet Karupin not wanting to look at the two.

"Oh… How?"

"He overheard me and our captain talking about it."

"How did your captain find out?" Nanjiroh asked.

"He noticed how I acted with Ryoma in the beginning and got suspicious." I said.

"Where is Ryoma now?"

"… I don't know. He ran out of the school before practice."

"I'm sorry." I said.

"It's not your fault… It's ours. We forced you into doing this without considering our son's feelings about it. We were just concerned because of his depression." Rinko said.

"We? You mean you." Nanjiroh said. Rinko ignored him.

"How did he react when he found out?"

"He was mad… sad… betrayed." I said while Karupin jumped out of my lap.

"Fuji-san, here is some tea. I'll make more for you two." Nanako smiled. I'm guessing she already heard of the situation and went back in to give us privacy.

"I see. I'm sorry. You don't have to keep dating our son now..."

"NO!" I yelled surprising the two.

"I mean… It's just that… I-." I said.

"You love our son." Rinko smiled.

"Heh… Yea. I do. But now he won't speak or even look at me."

"Then prove to our son that you love him. That's the only way to convince him since he's a stubborn brat." Nanjiroh said.
"Don't worry our son doesn't let go easily." Rinko reassured me. I smiled and thanked them.

"I promise I'll take care of your son." I said and walked out.

- - - -

"Eh? Buchou what do you have there?" Gakuto asked. I came in holding a sleeping Ryoma in my arms.

"Is that Echizen?" Shishido asked.

"I believe so." Oshitari said while pushing up his glasses.

"Awww… He's so Kawaii when he's asleep." Jiroh said coming up to them. I walked passed them and went to the guest room and laid Ryoma on the bed and left the room. I walked back to the others who were waiting for answers.

"Ore-sama found the Brat crying because of the stupid act of that Fuji Syuusuke." I said.

"I knew Fuji was a sadist but to this level of making the cocky freshman cry?" Gakuto said.

"Poor Echizen." Ohtori said.

"Usu." Kabaji said.

"Where is Echizen now?" Hiyoshi asked.

"I put him in the guest room." I said.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" A familiar voice yelled. I looked back and ran to the guest room with the rest following not to far behind. We got to the guest room and opened it finding a sleeping Jiroh on top of a confused Ryoma.

"Jiroh get up!" I yelled.

"Huh?" He said waking up and noticed he was on top of the little freshman.

"Jiroh why are you on top of Echizen?" Gakuto asked.

"Oh…! Wait… I don't know." Jiroh said while laughing nervously not even bothering to get off of Ryoma who was just lying there.

"Oh wait! I remember! Well I thought he was too cute when he was sleeping, so I thought it would be cute to cuddle with him while we both take a nap together!" Jiroh smiled. Everyone just stared at him. Gakuto walked over the bed to smack Jiroh over the head.

"Baka." He said while watching Jiroh rub his head.

"Ano… Can you get off of me?" Ryoma asked in a soft voice. Surprising everyone in the room.

"YOU'RE SO KAWAII!" Jiroh and Gakuto yelled before pouncing onto the poor boy.

"Who knew the cocky freshman we knew can be… cute." Oshitari said while a tint of pink was shown on his face. I just watched the team crowd around the boy and tease him. I walked out the room taking out my phone. I looked on my contact list and called the number.

"Hello?"

"What is it Atobe?"

"Tezuka?"

"Yea?"

"The brat is here at Ore-sama's house."

"Good. Take care of him for a while."

"Yea, yea, We're taking good care of the brat. Can you call his parents to tell them that he's okay and that he's staying over the night?"

"Sure but why?"

"He doesn't really want to see them right now."

"Hn. Ok bye."

"Ok bye." I said before hanging up. I walked back into the room finding everyone on the bed in a comfortable position while watching TV. Ryoma was in the middle surprisingly not annoyed but sat comfortably and watched TV with them.

"Atobe Buchou! Come watch with us!" Jiroh said. He had Ryoma sitting in between his legs. I sighed and sat on Ryoma's left side. I felt a tug on my sleeve.

"Thank you… Keigo-senpai." Ryoma smiled. My eyes widened at the sight.

"You're welcome… Ryoma." I smirked and patted the boys head.

"Can we call you Ryoma?" Jiroh asked. Ryoma just blushed but nodded. I noticed Jiroh wrap his arms around the boy's waist and squeezed him onto his chest.

"Ryo-chan!" He smiled. I was about to say something until my phone rang. I growled but walked out the room to answer the phone.

"What?!" I said annoyed.

"Atobe."

"Tezuka?"

"Echizen's parents said it was fine. They found out what happened because Fuji was out looking for him."

"Why is that Bastard looking for him?"

"He cares."

"As if that Bastard cares! He made Ryoma cry!"

"Ryoma?"

"That's his name."

"I know that. I didn't know the two of you were that close to him."

"He called me Keigo. So might as well call him Ryoma."

"Hn."

"Well tell Fuji to stop looking. We'll be the one taking care of him. Plus Jiroh already took a liking to the boy. Whenever he likes something… He won't let go of it."

"He still has to go to school."

"Well… Then… That time you take care of him."

"Hn. Just take care of him."

"Yea we are." I said before hanging up. I sighed. I walked back into the room once again but found half of the team asleep. Gakuto was asleep in Oshitari's lap who was still awake. Shishido was lying on Ohtori's lap but Ohtori fell asleep. Kabaji just sat on a chair near the bed awake. Hiyoshi was awake but was lying on the pillow about to fall asleep. Ryoma was asleep still sitting in between Jiroh's legs, who was also asleep. I sighed. I told the one who were awake that I was going to my room and if they wanted to sleep somewhere else they could go to the other guest rooms. They nodded and went back to watching TV.

- - - -

Everyone began to wake up and noticed how late it was. They all went out and into different rooms where they probably usually sleep if they sleep over here. I woke up and noticed I was still sitting in between Jiroh's legs. I got up and walked out the room to looks for Atobe. I found his room and opened the door finding him at his desk.

"Keigo?" I asked.

"Ryoma? What's wrong?"

"Um… I need to go home. I need to change."

"It's fine. I told Tezuka to tell your parents that you are staying over. Oh and here are your clothes." He handed some clothes to me. They were white and it was silk. I smiled and took the clothes and gave him a hug surprising Atobe.

"Thank you Keigo-nii, for everything. You really helped me get my mind off of Fuji." I said. Not noticing the slight disappointment in Atobe's eyes.

"Sure thing Brat." Atobe smiled back before ruffling the boy's hair.

"Where's the bathroom?" I asked. Atobe pointed to the door. I thanked him and walked to the bathroom to change.

After a few minutes I came out. The shirt was a little too big and kind of slipped off my shoulder revealing creamy skin. Atobe was blushing.

"Umm… Are we having dinner?" I asked

"Huh? Yes let's go down. Everyone must be downstairs now." He said leading me out the room and into the dining room. When we came in, everyone stared at me.

"RYO-CHAN!" Jiroh yelled and pounced on me. 'This is worse than Kikumaru's hugs.' I sighed.

"Let's eat now." I said. Jiroh nodded and pulled me to the seat next to him. I sighed once again and ate silently.

"Is something wrong Ryo-chan?" Jiroh asked while drawing everyone's attention.

"Ano… Thank you… Senpai-tachi." I said.

"For what?"

"Helping me. If I didn't run out of school my Senpais there would have just taken pity on me… You guys on the other hand helped me get my mind off of him. I feel as if I can come to you all for my problems." I said as I looked at everyone.

- - - -

Fuji lay on his bed staring at the ceiling.

"I'm sorry Ryoma…" He whispered.

"I hope you're okay." He said. His phone began to ring. He noticed Tezuka's name on the screen and answered the phone.

"Tezuka?"

"Fuji, Ryoma is fine."

"He is? Where is he?!"

"At Atobe's."

"ATOBE'S?!"

"Yeah, he's staying the night over there with his team."

"At least they're not alone… I need to see him!"

"Don't go. At least not yet."

"Why not?! I need to prove to Ryoma I love him!"

"I know. But right now he's still calming down. This just happened all today… Let him rest."

"Fine. But I'll go tomorrow."

"Hn." I heard him sigh.

"Thanks bye." I said before hanging up.

I laid back down on my bed. 'Atobe huh?' I shook off the thought and went to sleep.

Chapter End.

I updated too!!! Yay! Ryoma thinks of the Hyotei regulars as his older brothers. Poor Atobe and Jiroh. He still has to get over Fuji first if he can. He may have got his mind off of Fuji but he' still not over him. Well review if you'd like. And if you did, thank you. Hope you enjoyed!
