Chapter 25: Not so typical days

Chapter Summary: Everything went well just like the ordinary times. She only hoped that it would continue as long as she could.

She felt light that morning. The court was quiet and she felt like practicing that day. Since she used to be a member of that club, the teachers didn't mind her to play there as long as it was still school hours. She couldn't do beyond that unlike the regular members of the club.

Dropping her bag on a bench, she started on the wall and hitting the ball back and forth.

"Pretty serious now, aren't we?"

She hadn't rallied for long when she heard a familiar voice behind her. The tensai was watching her there, with his signature smile and such. Sakuno smiled back and raised her racket as a gesture that she was warming up;

"I kind of missing this place," She said and looked around, "It's been a while."

"That's right," Fuji agreed and mimicked her action, "Don't you want to go back here?"

Sakuno reconsidered this but decided against it, "I preferred my art club than this. I only love to play. I don't think I am fit to join any competition and such."

"Don't look down on yourself," Fuji said walking closer to her, "You know how good you are."

"Yeah, I can win at least one game." She chuckled when she remembered a game she had with Ryoma. It was too late to realize when Fuji also reacted at that.

Somehow, he knew what she was talking about.

"Things are doing well between you two, am I right?"

"Fuji-senpai." She whispered his name. He loved her and she knew it but he was the reason why she was back with Ryoma. They talked about before and he seemed to be fine with it.

"I just want you to be happy," He looked at her and smiled once again, "If he hurt you just come to me and I'll teach him a lesson that he'll never forget."

"Senpai," His words made her smile at least, "It's not like you to threat him like that but I appreciate the offer though."

"Saa," Fuji nodded, "We are alike, I guess."

She couldn't help but giggle at that. Fuji was an understanding person. She was glad to have a senpai like him.

Later on:

The first half of the class just ended and everyone went to their own activities. She was fixing her things when Ryoma spoke beside her;

"Where are you going to eat?"

"E?" She looked at him curiously.

"It's about lunch."

"Oh, probably at the cafeteria," She said as she was done packing, "Tomoka-chan's already there so—"

"Let's eat at the rooftop."

"E?"

"Let's eat at the rooftop." He repeated. He walked ahead after saying that.

Sakuno just watched him for a few seconds before she finally followed him. Ryoma seemed prefer to do the old habits they had before. Was he trying to revive what they had? She used to bring bento for him during lunch. She had one because he had asked her last night.
