Tennis Stars (Ryoga x Reader)

Kanto Tournaments: Kirihara Akaya Part 2

I raised my racket and started to lightly bounce the ball on the ground. I tossed it into the air with my left hand, hitting a strong twist serve with my right. It flew right past his face and I smirked, lowering my racket. I served another twist serve and he returned it this time. He must've learned quick. but then again, Ryoga had used that move quite a few times as well.

Ryoga Echizen P.O.V

I blinked as my vision returned to me. Last thing I remember is Tomoka-kun and Sakuno-kun cheering me on. I had looked over at them for less than a second and then turned back to the match only to get hit in the neck by a fast tennis ball.
I looked around as I slowly sat up, my hands reaching towards my neck. It was bruised, quite badly too. I looked around again and saw that Y/n wasn't on the benches.
"Where's Y/n?" I asked loudly. Eiji pounced on me with a large bear hug and I pushed him off. "Where's Y/n?" I repeated, a bit more darker.
"She's playing a match," Momoshiro said with his eyes completely focused on the court.
"Tezuka," I said sharply. "I told you not to let her go on the court."
"She refused. Don't blame it on the Captain," Ryoma said quietly. "We rubbed off on her when we were in America. She's as stubborn as us now, if not more."
"Stay out of this, Chibusuke," I glowered. I stepped forwards and held onto the small wall for support as I looked onto the court.
She was fabulous. Her hair was tied back in a long ponytail and she was playing right handed. It was 4-3, Y/n in the lead. She dashed back and forth as she slammed the ball with her racket, forcing Kirihara to run back and forth too. She was turning the game into a stamina game. Whoever has the most stamina in this match will win. I hope Y/n wins.
"Y/n!" I shouted. I raised my left hand as she went running after another ball.
"How's it going, Ryoga?!" She called back.
"Focus on the match!" I shouted at her.
"Oi?! You're the one distracting me!" Y/n hollered back.
"How are those two even double partners?" Eiji asked incrediously.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" both Y/n and I shouted at him. His eyes widened and he muttered something under his breath.
"The two of you are double partners?!" Kirihara taunted. "Maybe if I hurt her, the other boy will come out so I can destroy him!"
"Not. Gonna. Happen!" Y/n shouted loudly as she scored another point. 5-3.

Y/n's P.O.V

I grinned as I got another win. I ran forwards to the net as I dove forwards to get a volley, expecting Kirihara's next move, rolling out of the way. At least I thought I had. But that was until I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder. I gritted my teeth as I poked it. It was dislocated. I saw Ryoga's eyes widen from the sidelines and then offered up a smile at him. I moved towards the wall and then felt Ryoga's hands on my shoulder as he shoved it back into place. I rolled my shoulder a few times, feeling the tiniest bits of pain and then turned back to the match.

Ryoga Echizen's P.O.V

I was shocked when she dislocated her shoulder. I knew it had hurt her, so I had moved forwards to the wall, prepared when she came to have it popped back into place. I heard the pop and then she returned to the court.
Kirihara served and she switched to her left hand as soon as the ball was in the air, shocking him. She slammed the ball back at him harder than before. She smirked at his dumbfounded face and then returned the next serve easily until she had 6-3.
"One set match to Y/n!" the umpire shouted.
She came running back towards us with a triumphant grin.
"That'll teach him not to mess with us, yeah?" Y/n grinned at me with her fist held out. I bumped my own to hers and then smiled slightly.
"Yeah," I replied in English. Only Ryoma could understand us. Maybe Tezuka, but I don't care if he did. We're double partners.

Ryoma Echizen's P.O.V

I sighed as I watched them, walking away to get a Ponta.( I think that's his drink). I pushed the button on the vending machine and blinked as Captain came up to me.
"Captain," I nodded, grabbing my Ponta and starting to walk away.
"Echizen," Tezuka called. I froze in my tracks.
I slowly turned around.
"They seem close. Closer than usual doubles," Tezuka remarked. I recalled every memory I had of the two of them. They were all good.
"Hai. The two of them are bound to fall for each other as double partners sooner or later. They're opposite genders and best friends from when they were ten and thirteen. The two of them are bound to fall," I replied.
"Hai," Tezuka replied softly.
"I'll see you later. I need to go see them now," I said, turning around and drinking my Ponta before leaving to find them. I threw the can in the recycling and then walked off towards the courts.
