Unspoken Love

Choosing of rooms

The wind was blowing just enough for the grass to sway with it, the sun is hiding behind the clouds. Ryoma was walking around the place, waiting for someone.

Suddenly a voice called his name, "It's been a long time when I last saw you, Ryoma."

The tennis prince turned around to see who it was and saw a lady with long hair tied with a red ribbon to keep it in place, the person smiled at him. Ryoma couldn't stop thinking that the person seems familiar to him, her voice and smile as well. But how can he say so when he had just met this lady for the first time?

The lady talked again, "It looks like you are excited to meet your new opponent Ryoma." The tennis prince just stared at her and suddenly a small boy peeped behind the lady, clinging to her legs and looking at Ryoma with the same intensity in his eyes.

"Wh-who are you?" Ryoma asked as he began walking towards the lady and the child. But as he was near them, the lady and the child began walking farther and farther away from Ryoma. "Wait! Tell me who you are," Ryoma said as he tried to catch the two.

The lady smiled again, "Don't worry Ryoma, when the right time comes you'll know who we are. Until then, enjoy your time with your friends. Until we meet again."

"No! Wait! Wait! Hey," Ryoma shouted as he sat on his bed. The tennis prince was sweating and was panting heavily, he looked around the room to see that his senpais had already woken up. "It was just a dream..." he whispered as he got out of the bed and went to take a shower.

Ryoma got out of the room dressed in his usual black short and white with red shirt, his mind was focused on tennis again.

He went down the stairs to eat breakfast, just as he was entering the kitchen to get a plate he bumped into someone. When the person was just a meter from falling, Ryoma caught her body. Feeling a strong hold upon her waist, Sakuno opened her eyes to see Ryoma's face staring at her.

"Ry-ryoma kun!" Sakuno said as she scrambled to get away from his hold.

"Ryuzaki, are you alright?" the tennis prince asked with a raised brow. The auburn haired girl stood and nodded. "Very well, watch where you're going next time to avoid accidents like these again," Ryoma said as he began to walk pass her and get a plate.

Sakuno frowned, she stumbled again not just with anybody but with Ryoma himself. She felt like crying as she embarrassed herself in front of her long time crush, so Sakuno decided to walkout of the room. But before she could do so, Ryoma called her.

"Ryuzaki, do you have anything to do today?" he asked as Sakuno's back was facing him, the auburn haired girl shook her head. "Then, can you stay here for a while as I eat?" Sakuno's eyes widened with surprise upon hearing those words, did Ryoma just requested her to be with him in breakfast? Sakuno thought it was just one of her dreams, so she pinched her cheek. Upon doing so she felt the pain in it,So I'm really not dreaming,she thought then turn to Ryoma with a questioning look. Ryoma was looking at the refrigerator to avoid Sakuno's gaze.

"Why ryoma-kun?" Sakuno asked and the tennis prince replied, "If you don't want its fine." After that he walked out of the kitchen and sat at the dining table, while the auburn haired girl sighed and followed him. Sakuno sat in front of Ryoma and watched him eat, the tennis prince then said "You know that it is uncomfortable for a person to eat when people looked at him/her."

The auburn haired girl sigh, "I'm sorry...I won't look again, by the way Ryoma-kun. Momo-sempai said that after you eat, you need to get ready for the reunion." Ryoma didn't answer and just continued eating, 5 minutes passed by and Ryoma finished eating. He stood and began walking to the kitchen, Sakuno suddenly hold his plate then said "It's fine Ryoma-kun. I'll take this to the sink, you should go change your clothes now."
