Chapter 14: Fireworks
"Ne, let's go see the fireworks!" Momoshiro suggested one day after practice seeing a flyer.
You listen as Momoshiro talks happily about the fireworks. "I can't go, I'm busy that day." Fuji said, "My sisters want me to go with them somewhere."
Kikumaru nodded his head. "Mine too nya~! I wish I could go though!"
Momoshiro turned to Ryoma who shook his head. "I'm busy that day too."
One by one the team members shook their heads sadly until Momoshiro showed puppy eyes to you. You smile. "I'm free that day."
His back straightens and his eyes twinkle. "Really?" He asked grabbing your hands.
You shake your head. Momoshiro nodded his head happily. "Yosh! Then me and (y/n)-Sempai will be off to see the fireworks!"
You nod your head and turn to Tezuka who has his usual scowl on his face and smile at him.
Momoshiro and you walk to where the fireworks are to be held and spend the rest of the afternoon there. "So how have your classes been?" You ask him.
He shrugs. "Good, better than before."
You nod your head. "Do you know what High School you want to attend?"
He shakes his head. "There are so many choices. What about you Sempai?"
You thought if over and shrugged your shoulders. "I want to be somewhere not too far…I don't want to be too far from home you know?"
"You know the captain might go to Germany?"
You nod your head your smile slowly turning sad. "I know…but it's fine." You say with a smile, "I don't want to hold him back.
Momoshiro nodded his head. "I know what you mean Sempai."
You nod your head happy that he understood and the two of your walk around the area looking at the vendors. You turn to see that he is already taller then you and whistle. He gives you strange look. "You sure are tall." You say.
He blushes and chuckles. "Thanks, I've been drinking my milk every night!"
You laugh. "I guess I should start getting into that habit again if I want to get taller."
"That's never going to happen Sempai." Momoshiro said.
"Eh? Why not?" You ask shocked.
Momoshiro messed with your hair. "Because you're going to end up a squirt."
You gasp and pout at your kohai. "Mou!"
He puts up his hands in front of him. "Ma, ma, I was kidding Sempai! Mmmm…as an apology, I'll get you some cotton candy."
"Eh? Wait-"
But before you could say more he dashed off to the cotton candy vendor. You let out a sigh and sit down. "Mou," You say sounding exhausted.
You watch as couples passed by and think what if Tezuka was here with you. You let out a sigh and shake your head. "Hey, are you waiting for someone?" A group of guys asked.
You look up and nod your head. You hated these type of people, they always irritated you and no matter how many times you said no, they wouldn't take it as an answer. "Yes, my friend." You answer.
"Oh~ Is she cute?"
"Yes, she's the cutest thing you've ever seen." You say.
The guys whistle. "You mind if we met this friend of yours?" They ask.
You let out a sigh. "Not at all, but do not be shocked."
The guys laughed and sat REALLY close to you. You scoot over only to find the edge. You can feel him move ready to wrap his arm around your shoulder. You get up. "Ah, she texted me, I need to go." You say and hurry off before they could keep your there a moment longer.
You let out a sigh obviously frustrated. "Geez." You say looking at your phone and groan remembering that you never bothered to get his number.
You let out yet another sigh and shrug. You walk around as if you were against the world. No one paid attention to you. Shoulders bumping and noises all around you. You were somehow feeling dizzy ready to collapse. Your feet stumbled and then something grabbed your upper arm keeping you up. "What are you doing?"
You look up to find Tezuka behind you pushing up his glasses. "Tezuka?" You say your mouth feeling dry.
"Where is Momoshiro?" He asked.
"He went to get cotton candy. I was sitting down and then a bunch of guys came over and I left. I don't have his number either."
"Are you sick?" He asks.
You shake your head. "I'm fine…I guess all this noise was making me a bit dizzy."
You let out a squeal as he picks you up like a bag of potatoes. You wrap your hands around his neck tightly. "What are you doing?" You asked from his sudden action.
"Keeping you from being trampled on."
You blush. "I'm not that short!" You shot back.
He chuckles his rare chuckle and smirks. "At the moment you are."
You roll your eyes but allow him to carry you through the crowd. People aww and smile seeing the two of you acting like a couple. You hide your face in his shoulder. Suddenly, lights fill the sky and the thundering sound booms in your ears. You look up and see the fireworks. You smile. "Look." You gasp, "Their beautiful!"
He nods his head and looks up watching it with you. You look down to see him looking instead of the fireworks is looking at you. You can't hid the blush you find his face desirable and you stroke his cheek. He keeps his hands around you but squeezes. He looks up, his eyes softened with a curious look. You can't help but laugh at this foreign expression. You lean down and kiss him. He kissed you back. You smile and run your fingers through his hair. Even through the sounds and the lights and the crowds of people, you felt as if it was only you and him there.
Momoshiro dropped the cotton candy seeing the lips met.
