"Hey Kuroko, don't you have your private tutoring thing today?" Haruichi asked.

"Kagami said he was unavailable today," Kuroko replied. He found it weird though. Kagami never missed a tutoring session.

"Hey Kuroko, watch us batting masters do our thing," Sawamura said proudly directing Kuroko and Haruichi's attention to him. Sawamura stepped up to the batter box and waited for the ball to come.

They decided to visit the batting center near the cafe where Sawamura worked. They took the last free spot at the end of the building. A net separates them from the rest of the people.

Haruichi went first and being Haruichi he was able to hit all balls with no difficulty. Sawamura was pumped up to show his talent to Kuroko.

The ball machine suddenly threw a ball to Sawamura's way. Sawamura swung the bat with all his might.

...

"Uh.. Sawamura. The point of baseball is to hit the ball right? You didn't even touch it," Kuroko observed. The ball rolled to a stop behind Sawamura.

"DAMN IT!!" Sawamura exclaimed. He was really embarrassed right now. He wasn't able to show off to Kuroko.

"Well, batting wasn't Eijun's forte,"Haruichi commented. Kuroko nods in understanding. He previously had  problems with shooting the ball too.

Sawamura was able to hit the next ball but he wasn't hitting every ball. Out of ten balls, he was able to hit only six.

"Well at least you hit some Eijun," Haruichi comforted. Sawamura pouts. Haruichi was able to hit all ten. That made Sawamura jealous.

"It's your turn Kuroko," Sawamura said as he handed him the bat. Kuroko accepts the bat enters the batter's box.

"Go Kuroko!" Sawamura cheered.

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

Sawamura's phone was ringing.

"Haruichi, I'll be right back," Sawamura said as he pointed at his phone. Haruichi nodded in understanding. The batting center was too noisy so be decided to exit the building.

The caller ID was Furihata.

"What's up Furihata?"

"Umm, someone is waiting for you outside our cafe,"Furihata said.

"Don't tell me.."

"Yes it's him," Furihata confirmed.

"I'll be right there," Sawamura then hanged up the phone. Sawamura ran back to his cafe. Once the cafe was in sight, he saw Miyuki leaning on his car. He clenched his fist and approached Miyuki.

Miyuki was waiting for Sawamura. He   decided it was the time to tell his feelings to Sawamura. He has been thinking about it for days but when he saw Sawamura on that stage shining and stunning, he knew the tine was now. He also bought a gift for Sawamura. It was actually just a small keychain where you pick the decor. Miyuki picked a baseball and a small piano, perfectly fitting Sawamura. He smiled at it and put it back in his pocket. Just at that moment, he heard footsteps and looked up to find the he was waiting for.

"You look messed up," Miyuki teased. He couldn't help it. It became a habit for him to tease Sawamura right away. But Sawamura had no time for teasing and jokes.

"Miyuki-senpai, what are you even doing here?" Sawamura asked. He stared at Miyuki with a serious look.

"What do you mean? As I said I am a customer here and-"
