Admiration, Respect, Tennis...And Love?

Chapter 14

I was overseeing the first years practice when I noticed Tezuka and Masayo-san talking in a surprisingly friendly manner, I wondered what they were talking about so I got closer, Masayo-san's cheeks turned a bright red, and looked around in embarrassment, and now that I notice, Tezuka's cheeks are on a soft pink shade.

what did happen to make both of them react like that?

I get even closer, close enough to make some words over the noise from the rest of the team, is then when Tezuka answer her with words like 'I' 'embarrassed' 'actually' interested' 'you' 'romantic'.

Wait, is he confessing to Masayo-san?

Masayo-san cover her mouth, and giggle, once she calm down she clean a stray tear, smirk and kiss his cheek, "thank you, I definitely like you!"

I freeze in place, she what!?

Tezuka's cheeks turn a soft pink and look away with a frown, "If you have energy to waste fooling around like that, you should go train instead"

he...he is not turning her down either, does that mean he is interested on Masayo-san? that he return her feelings?

are they...dating?

She pout playfully and nod, "okay"

Masayo-san walk away, while Tezuka glance her way with a thoughtful frown and a barely concealed smile.

I feel my heart constricting in disappointment, they are truly dating...

I shake my head and push my glasses up, it does not matter, if Masayo-san is happy then I don't care, I can always be her friend.

I nod to myself and turn around, I should record this data though, it can be useful in the future.

But I wonder, when did they developed feelings for each other?
