Two for One

Mistake

Ryoko woke up feeling great. For some reason, she had felt like today was going to be a good day. Perhaps it was because she was no longer going to be alone.
Her brother was back in town for awhile, and she couldn't wait to spend all day with him. Of course, she had to go to school first, but once that was over, she could pop up at wherever her brother was staying. Speaking of which hopefully he sent her his address otherwise there will be hell to pay.

Ryoga has always been Ryoko's favorite person in the whole world. He was her best friend, and she could trust that he will be there for her. Despite the fact that Ryoga feels as if he doesn't deserve it, or felt as if he failed her in the past. It didn't matter to her. All that mattered is that he is here now and he has remained by her side as best as he could. Ryoko knew that he is only studying to be a psychiatrist because of her. She found it sweet of him but unnecessary. She doesn't need a doctor; there is nothing wrong with her. Sure she has Ryoma, but she doesn't see him as a problem only another part of who she is as a person. Ryoga doesn't seem to understand, and she doesn't expect him too.

However, Ryoga was not the only reason as to why she no longer felt alone. Finally, there was someone else that knew about her. That boy Fuji, who she met at the park, knew of her existence. It filled her heart with joy just thinking about it.

For the longest time, Ryoko was starting to feel as if she was a figment of Ryoma's imagination. She felt fake, like the imaginary friend one would have as a child. Her existence meant nothing and affected nothing because she was never there to begin with. Of course, she knew this was not true, that she was a real person, but it was hard. It was hard to have to hide a part of who she was, the central part of who she was because it would cause problems.

Now with Fuji, there was one more person she can be herself with, and she appreciated it very much.

With a long stretch, Ryoko jumped out of bed and started to get ready for school with a broad smile on her face.

Yes, she was so looking forward to today.

~241~

Classes had gone by rather quickly for Fuji, and that was because he wasn't paying attention but instead was lost his thoughts the entire time.

Today was the day he was finally going to try out his hypnosis theory, and he was very excited. He couldn't wait to get help his Ryoma out and finally confess properly. If all goes well, Ryoma may even be so thankful to him that he will agree to be his forever.

That would be nice, having Ryoma as his forever. Fuji could already imagine their beloved Future. They would get married and adopt two children, probably a boy and a girl. They would teach their kids tennis as well. Fuji would be a professional photographer, and Ryoma would follow his dream to be a pro tennis player. Of course, they would have a massive home so they would be enough room for the four of them. Maybe even get a pet, lots of pets if Ryoma wanted too. It would be magically he already knew.

However, before any of that could happen he needs to cure Ryoma. Once that's done he can confess, and they can start building their relationship until it gets to the point of his fantasies.
So once the bell rang for lunch break to start Fuji wasted no time in bolting out of the classroom to look for Ryoma.

He ran past all the other students, even his best from Eiji. Fuji also ignored the red-headed boy when he tried to say hello. Fuji didn't care or notice anyone else; his only focus was finding Ryoma.

Fuji did stop when he saw the freshmen trio though. Wherever the Trio was, Ryoma was sure to be close behind. So with a deep breath and a broad smile on his face, Fuji naturally made his way over to the three boys.

"Horio-kin, Kachiro-kun, and Mizuno-kun."

The trio looked over at Fuji and smiled.

"Hello, Fuji-sempai," Kachiro replied.
