PoT is not mine.

Ryoma got home from his practice. He opened the fridge to grab some water when

"Yo Seishonen." His dad greeted with a cheeky grin.

Ryoma looked at his father for a while and ignored him.

"O-oiii! Ryoma-kun is so cruel~" Nanjiro mockingly said.

"What do you want?" Ryoma dryly said.

"Well, I think it's about time we have that father and son talk, y'know." Nanjiro said with a

smugged face.

Ryoma paused for a minute and declined.

"No, thanks."

"Listen here Seishonen, girls are complex creatures. One minute they're happy and the next sad.

They complain about us not being sweet and they force you to hang the laundry and-" Nanjiro

explained.

"Your point?" Ryoma cut him off.

"My POINT is that, there are certain steps to handle them. A precaution, to make sure you can

nab her." Nanjiro cleared his throat.

"Not interested." Ryoma replied.

"Speaking of girls.. I heard Sakuno-chan grew into a cute young lady. I bet she'll have alot of

admirers. Especially in the future." Nanjiro said.

Ryoma's ears perked up.

"Hmmm..Ryoga should meet her.. lemme give him a call." Nanjiro added trying to sound serious.

Ryoma quickly dragged his father and placed him on the dining chair.

"Talk." Ryoma coolly said.

"FUFUFUFUFUFU." Nanjiro snickered.

"TALK." Ryoma commanded.

"First things first son, Make her smile. Be funny and spontaneous." Nanjiro replied.

Ryoma looked at his father in response.

"You should open up to her, it will make her feel assured that you want to be close to her."

Nanjiro added.

"It doesn't hurt if you have physical contact here in there, fufufufu you should control your

hormones Ryoma-kun~" his father teasingly said.

"Hurry up old man." Ryoma looked annoyed.

"Okay, okay..well complimenting a girl always helps.. flirting too.. let's see.. being romantic

and all that crap. Try to be approachable! You're like a wall! Stiff and lifeless." Najiro

yawned.

Ryoma got up and headed towards the stairs.

"Hey Seishonen.." Nanjiro sighed making Ryoma stop in his tracks.

"Don't screw it up." Nanjiro smirked.

"I won't" his son smirked back.

Ryoma was playing around with Karupin in his room.

"Ne Karupin.. do you know how to make her smile" Ryoma asked.

"meow" the cat purred.

"Hmm then how do you open up to her?" Ryoma asked again , holding his cat.

"Meow?" The cat said.

"Is it okay? To atleast hold her or pat her shoulder?.. I mean, we held hands but.." Ryoma

blushed.

"It was necessary.." He muttered.

"meoooooow" Karupin could only say.

"Stupid old man, how can I flirt? romantic? tsch!" Ryoma hissed while lying down.

"Meeoooww meeooww" Karupin purred.

The next day ..

"Oi Echizen! that serve was too weak, too weak!" Momo commented.

"..." Ryoma didn't reply.

"Ochibi is out of it nya" Eiji conversed with Fuji.

"You're right, I wonder what could it be." Fuji said.

"Echizen is distracted, ii data." Inui scribbled on his notebook.

"Sakuno! Sakuno! Hurry! It's Ryoma-sama!" Tomoka shouted in the entrance of the tennis court.

"S-stop shouting Tomo-chan." Sakuno panted beside her loud friend.

"Mou whatever, Look it's Ryoma-sama!~" Tomoka sang.

"Y-Yes , Yes I know." Sakuno replied feeling embarrassed by the loudness of her friend.

Ryoma shifted his gaze from his opponent to the side. As soon as he heard her voice, it was

different. The practice match shifted, Ryoma became stronger.

"W-Woooaah Ochibi became different! His game is totally different!" Eiji exclaimed.

"Hmmmm.." Inui sighed, looking at the sides and easily spotted the tennis prince's source of

strength.

"Inui.." Fuji smiled signalling that he knows why Ryoma suddenly changed.

"I know...Ii data.." Inui smirked as he fixed his glasses.

"Ryuzaki-chan." Fuji called.

Sakuno shifted her gaze from her prince to her smiling senior.

"Come here for a moment." Fuji smiled as he signalled her to go to him.

"Hai?" Sakuno asked as she approached Fuji.

"Could you do something for me?" The genius asked.

"Sure, what is it?" Sakuno happily replied.

"Well, you see.. I'd like you to.." Fuji continued whisphering in her ear making Sakuno blush

furiously.

Meanwhile, Ryoma and Momo took a breather. Ryoma had his attention on Sakuno, looking at her

blush while his senpai whisphered to her, it was fist clenching for him.

Ryoma didn't even noticed that Momo was blabbing away about Anne.

"Wonder what they're talking about.." Ryoma thought to himself, thinking deeply. The prince

didn't notice that his princess was headed towards him.

"Uhmo.. Ryoma-kun.." Sakuno sighed.

Ryoma snapped out in his thoughts and look at the girl who called out to him.

"Wha-" Ryoma stopped himself and remembered what his father said to him.

"Approachable...approachable.." He repeated in his head.

"Y-Yo, what's up?" Ryoma said.

"D-Do your best Ryoma-kun! I'll be cheering for you!" Sakuno blushed as she cheered.

Ryoma was suppressing his blush, he really wanted to do something to her.

"Th-thanks" Ryoma barely replied.

"Well.. Good Luck!" Sakuno smiled.

"Yeah.." Ryoma simply replied as he took off his cap.

"I should get going no-" Sakuno was cut off, she found herself having a cap on her head, Ryoma

is still holding the tip of his cap.

Sakuno blushed by her prince's actions.

"Thank you Ryuzaki." Ryoma smirked letting his cap sink on to her head.

"You already thanked me Ryoma-kun." Sakuno peeked under the cap.

"I know." Ryoma smiled, Sort of.

There was silence between them, it wasn't awkward at all. More like a comfortable silence.

"Be there.. next week.." Ryoma reminded.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Sakuno smiled at her prince,taking the cap off and holding

it on to her chest.

"I'll bring some bento." She added as she gave back the prince's cap.

"Japanese food." Ryoma unknowingly said.

"Hai hai." Sakuno gave a gentle smile and walked away.

"Echizen! You sly fox you! Too distracted to even listen to me! So young, so young." Momo said.

Ryoma didn't even listen to his senpai mocking him, he was too busy looking at the figure

walking away from him.

Today was a good day for the prince.
