The Prince Of Tennis // Oneshots

Yuushi Oshitari - Partners

"A joke? Anyways, where will you get 1,000,000 dollars?"

"I swear! I really meant it as a joke, please don't take it seriously." She pressed her hands together, hoping he will listen to her. He fixed his glasses and held his book tighter.

"Well..."

"Eh? What is it?"

"You're going to participate in that competition?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"I read about it. You don't have a partner that plays a violin, right?"

"That's right."

"I can be your partner."

"Eh? What did you say?"

"Is my voice that low? I said I'll be your partner, young lady."

"Really?!"

"It's to keep safe people, you might scam them."

"Yah! I really don't mean it!"

"Hahaha, what's your name? You're an interesting one."

"I'm L/n Y/n, how about you?"

"Eh? You don't know me? That's strange, I'm Oshitari Yuushi."

"Oh, you're in the tennis club, right?"

"So you know me after all."

"Only the name!"

"Hm?"

"Oh! I have to go now, Oshitari-kun. Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome. Anyways, you still have to apply, right?"

"Yes."

"Let's exchange e-mails then."

"Why?"

"So you can contact me?" He rose an eyebrow, stating the obvious with an interrogative tone.

"You're right!"

"Practice?"

"Whenever you're available!"

"Okay, okay. You don't need to pay me 1,000,000 dollars, just to let you know."

"Eh? I won't actually pay you even if you say that. I'll go now. Bye~!"

Oshitari smirked and placed his hands on his torso, "What an odd girl..."

-

The duo started to practice. When Oshitari is done with tennis practices, he always sends an e-mail to Y/n thereafter. He won't deny, she is fun to be with, however, she is always so slow. Yet that made things even more fun.

Sometimes they go to the movies at weekends as soon as their session ends. He expend his leisure time getting to know her more. How come he didn't know a girl like her is wandering around the school?

"What if you didn't find a violinist? You're going to scam people instead?"

"No! I thought you already thought of it as a mere joke?"

"Hahaha, I'm just messing with you. But really, what if?"

"I don't know. Honestly, I'm clueless about what to do if we didn't cross paths that day. Maybe if it didn't happen, I guess I'm still looking for someone up to this day."

She took a sip of her milkshake and threw him a glance, peeking at his expression. Yet she flinched when his face is plastered with an untrustworthy smirk.

"W-what?"

"Sorry, don't mind me."

"You're...kinda weird."

"Not as much as you, L/n."

Y/n smiled and giggled. She stared at his face as her hand fisted in front of her shoulder.

"Let's do our best, Oshitari-kun!"

He shot her a surprised look, feeling his own eyes widen a bit. He did encounter an odd girl and he is weirded out but why is he having so much fun with her?

That sincere and jolly smile on her face made his heart skip a beat, something that he can't seem to explain.

He nodded in response and took a sip of his tea for it might calm him down. Oshitari must've not only encountered a strange female, but a strange feeling too.

➸

"Congrats, L/n and Oshitari!"

"T-thank you." Y/n nodded and swept herself in between the crowds. Her head turned repeatedly, looking for someone.

Y/n pulled her long dress up a bit to prevent others from stepping on it and proceeded to the balcony. She found him leaning against the rails, wind meeting his gorgeous figure which Y/n thought so ever since he get through her world.

Devoid of any hesitation or doubt, she sprinted near him and tugged the formal attire he wore earlier when they both performed.

He looked at her and smiled slyly, "I've been waiting for you."

"Huh? Why? Do you need something?"

"No. I just want to have a small chat, is that okay?"

"Of course, isn't that the reason why I'm looking for you?"

"Hm, I see."

"Why are you outside? I thought you were going to meet up with your friends."

"Am I not able to be alone for a while?"

"Why are you asking me? Um, I think it's up to you, not me." She shrugged.

"I don't know if you're trying to piss me off or what."

"Piss you...off?"

"Nevermind."

"Oshitari-kun."

"Yes?"

Her eyes diverted to the sky and sighed through her nose, "Uh, first of all, I just want to say that, thank you for being my partner."

"Why do you sound like you're bidding goodbye? Are you going to find dollars to pay me?"

"N-no, silly! Hey! Don't ruin my monologue." She pouted but pouted even more when she heard him laugh.

"You're cute."

"Eh? Ah, thanks. Anyways! Thank you again and look, I know you're popular and all but..."

"Hm?"

"Oshitari-kun!"

"Oi, don't shout out of the sudden..."

"S-sorry."

"It's fine, so?"

"Can we duet again?"

"Of course."

"And..." She clasped her skirt and stared at his eyes, full of heartfelt appreciation and a lot of befuddled feelings for the male.

"I still want to know you more so...let's stay friends even inside or outside of school!"

«Omake»

"Damn Yuushi, you got friend zoned even though you're not confessing yet? That sucks."

"What? At least I always have her by my side."

"Even when you go in the bathroom?"

The members near them slapped their foreheads, brows twitching over that one idiotic question that Mukahi asked his friend.

"Idiot, of course not."

"Oh."

"I think she has nice legs though."

"Did you say something?"

"No, nothing."

"Oh, but I thought I heard you say legs..."

END!
