Her (Yukimura Seiichi x OC x Tanegashima Shuuji)

SIXTEEN: New beginnings

"So, what are we?"

"What do you mean?" he looked at her.

"What are we Shuuji?"

"Well, seeing as you're the one that kissed me, I think I should be the one asking you. What are we Satomi?"

Her face heated up, he'd said it so matter–of-factly, she had kissed him, fully, and she had enjoyed him, savored him. And when he kissed back, she didn't stop. His tongue had prodded ever so slightly for an entrance, and she had let him have it. They battled for dominance, and her fingers had gotten tangled up in his hair. She had made out with someone, and not just anyone, Shuuji. She felt the euphoria as it built up inside of her, all their pent up feelings finally explode. Was she, irrevocably, in love with this boy? She remembered the feeling from her time with Yukimura, how it enveloped her in warmth, and made everyday even more worth living. But now it wasn't Yukimura Seiichi that filled her such, it was the boy who now sat in front of her, on her bed, staring at her with those brilliantly violet eyes of his.

"Shuuji."

"Hmm?"

"Can we give 'us' a try?"

"Took you long enough." He said as he pulled her into a hug. "Come on, let's get some sleep."

And with her head on his chest, she was lulled away with nothing but a smile on her face.

"So, you guys are thing now?"

"Kazuya, why do you sound so unexcited? We've been waiting for this for the past three months!" Irie exclaimed.

"It's just, come on! I wanted more! More secret rendezvousing, MORE TEASING!"

The four friends stared at the tall boy in disbelief, never would they have expected for him to have such a flair for the dramatic.

"ANYWAYS, we're in a relationship now, everybody say 'yay'!" Shuuji coaxed as he attempted to break the awkwardness imposed by Tokugawa.

"Yayyyyyyyyy~"

"Now you say yay." The white haired boy said, staring down at his girlfriend.

"Hehe, yay~" and she smiled.

Yukimura was steaming. His encounter with Satomi from the night before still firmly in his mind. He was mad at her, somewhat, he guessed, or was it just him being mad at himself. There he had a god given chance, a chance to possibly make things right and amicable, but he'd spoilt it. Again. With his own selfishness no doubt.

"She called you a coward. I guess you really are one aren't you Seiichi? You can make life or death decisions when it comes to your own ability to stand on the courts again, but you can't even muster up a bit of courage to face the woman you loved. Or love? How do you feel about her..."

His thoughts trailed off, slightly distracted by the murmuring that started to fill the cafeteria. And as he looked up, his lip quivered, his eyes slightly watered, and he felt the most gut wrenching pain in his chest.

They were holding hands.

A/N: I'm back(ish)! but just a short one for right now, sorry for the year and a half wait. I PROMISE I WILL BE BACK SOON. 🌚❤️
