A Doubles Miracle

We did doubles again. We're doing it now. I can already see how hard everyone's trying to mend mine and Ryoga's relationship. It won't work. We're both too stubborn. We've rubbed off on each other. All of the Echizens understand that and so do I.
"Doubles!" Eiji shouted happily. "Oishi! Let's do this! I believe in us!" He reminded me of a bunny and a preacher of optimistical stuff.
"Hai, Eiji," Oishi replied. "We can do this."
"Oishi, Eiji, you'll be against Echizen Ryoga and Y/n," Tezuka ordered as he jotted down a few things in a notebook before looking over at us and waiting expectantly. I sighed with annoyance and then stepped onto the court with my racket in hand.
I didn't speak to Ryoga, I didn't look at him, and I ignored him the entire first half of the match.
But I couldn't ignore him the second half of the match.
We were losing 5-love currently and were taking a short break on the bench to rehydrate.
"Y/n," Ryoga spoke up. I looked over at him. He must be really serious to chuck his pride out the window.
"Y/n," Ryoga repeated. "You remember what I said when you asked if I loved you? How I said no? I lied." He looked down at his feet and then back at me, taking a small step forwards. And then he leaned in and I closed my eyes, feeling his soft lips against mine until he pulled away, making me miss his warmth.
I heard cheering all around us and saw Eiji and Momo shouting for us to kiss again. I shook my head stubbornly at them.
"Aww!" Eiji shouted. "Fine! If we lose this game, you two have to make out!"
"Deal!" I shouted. Ryoga sighed and I frowned. I had just agreed to make out with him if we lost the game. And they only needed one more game to win. We were toast.
"You don't have to make it so obvious you want me," Ryoga sighed. I punched him in the arm and then picked up my racket and spun it in my fingers, a new determination and confidence gleaming in my eye.
"Let's do this," I smirked.
"Let's do this," Ryoga repeated with his own smug smirk. And we were back to normal. Except this time we were better than ever.
I smirked again and then raised my racket and hit the ball back at them as hard as I could. It bore a hole into the ground and went through the metal fence. I smirked smugly at them as they looked at the hole. I held up a hand and Ryoga high-fived me and we took back one game. And then another and another.
3-5. We were losing by two games, but we could win this and turn it all around. I moved to the center line of the court and then felt Ryoga move into position behind me.
"Australian Formation!" Horio shouted from his position. Ryoma was in the Umpire chair and Tezuka and Coach Ryuzaki were watching from the side lines.
I laughed as I hit another powerful return at Eiji and Oishi.
We took back two more games.
And then we finally won.
6-5, us.
I grinned at Eiji and Oishi and they both smiled and held out their hands.
"That was a good game," Oishi said as we shook. I smiled and nodded.
"It was fun," I replied.
"Let's do it again sometime!" Eiji said hyperactively. He sort of bounced on his feet as he shook my hand.
I walked back to the sidelines to where Ryoma and the others were waiting for us.
"So, is anyone going to talk about what happened?" Momo shouted excitedly.
"What happened?" I asked, knowing fully well what he meant. I just wanted to hear it again.
"You know. That kiss between you and the Echizen," Momo said with a grin. "I want to talk about what happened!"
Fuji laughed. "Hai."
"Good data," Inui mumbled as he scribbled more notes down.
"Hai!" Eji shouted.
"Hai," Oishi said.
"Yes. Hai," Ryoma smirked at us.
"Hai. You two kissed. It deserves to be talked about. And how you played afterwards. That was amazing," Coach Ryuzaki said. "You won the game when the score was 5-love with you losing in the beginning and then came back six games without letting our Golden Pair score a single game. And the power behind those shots!"
"Coach Ryuzaki! We're talking about the kiss. Not the amazing game," Eiji butted in. Ryuzaki laughed to herself and nodded.
"Hai. We'll talk about the kiss now," Ryuzaki said with a grin at us. I turned ghastly white at the look on her face. She was going to try and do something to us. I turned around and made up some weird excuse.
"Sorry! Gotta go! I need to go help a pregnant lady at the hospital!" I shouted as I ran away.

Ominiscent P.O.V (Ominiscent P.O.V= all knowing narrative).

The regulars stared after where Y/n had ran away.
"She lied, didn't she," Eiji accused. "Why'd she lie to us?" He whined and felt so down at the moment. His features slumped.
"I believe it was because Coach Ryuzaki had a sadistic look in her eyes," Inui blabbered, talking on and on about random stuff.
"Hai. She did look a little bit sadistic," Fuji agreed with a nod of confirmation.
"You're one to talk, Mr. I'm A Sadistic Lunatic," Momo teased before covering his mouth and running away. Fuji laughed at his reaction and then turned towards the group of them.
"So the two of them kissed," Oishi said.
"What's gonna happen next, Chibi-san?!" Eiji asked, jumping up and down.
"Most likely they'll start dating and then make out in Ryoga's room. Y/n already spends her nights in there most of the time," Ryoma shrugged.
"How do you know Y/n isn't already secretly making out with Ryoga?" Eiji asked, tilting his head to one side.
"That's not something Y/n would do. Also, I'd hear their screams a mile away if it was happening," Ryoma said with another casual shrug.
"Oh. So no make out sessions," Eiji said, looking like a deflated balloon in the moment.
"Hai. No makeout sessions," Ryoma said.
EIji pouted and looked so sad in that moment.
He then looked back up at Oishi.
"Can we play a match?" Eiji asked. Oishi nodded and the match began.
