Hidden Plays

36: That will hopefully never dim

It was finally time. Satomi would be leaving, as simply Satomi. Her father was too busy to bring her, and so Satomi asked if a 'friend' could. Her father agreed without hesitation.

Satomi and Yukimura were standing near the security. After dropping off Satomi's bigger luggage and getting her ticket Satomi now had to part ways with Seiichi.

"Sei-kun...I know I'll be across the world...But I will promise you that you are my one and only. I want you and only you." Satomi mumbled as Yukimura was hugging her and Satomi buried her head in Yukimura's chest. She looked up at him who smiled down at her.

"And you are my one and only. I promise you that. There is no other girl that stuck by my side like you. You were my pillar of support. I would never trade you for the world." Yukimura said kissing her forehead. Satomi let go a little.

"Text me whenever you have the chance alright? The timezones will be different, so I might not reply straight away." Satomi said.

"I won't ever forget." Yukimura said. Satomi went on her tippy toes and kissed Yukimura's cheek.

"Soon...We'll see each other soon. I'll text you as soon as I touch down." Satomi said. Yukimura nodded and pulled her into one last embrace before watching her walk through security. As soon as she made it to the other side she turned and waved before walking away. Yukimura doing the same. He took a taxi back to the Rikkaidai training facility where all the members were waiting. He saw the regular sitting together while the non-regulars were interacting with the female tennis team and the cheerleaders.

Yukimura were annoyed with both the female tennis team and the cheerleaders. The female tennis team cared more about making their tennis skirts shorter than actually playing tennis. The cheerleaders were the clingiest people in the whole school and liked to use members of the boys tennis team for popularity. Same with the female tennis team though.

The worst of all was that the captain of the girl's team and the head cheerleader were good friends. Both were always vying for his attention. He always ignored them.

He beaded straight to the regular's table, but as soon as he approached them two girls clung to his arms, one on each arm. He shook them off and gave them a glare.

"Come on. Let's go." Yukimura said to the regulars who nodded and followed him onto the courts.

"Akaya practice with Renji...Court 1." Yukimura said.

"Yagyu and Niō. Court 2." Yukimura ordered.

"Yagyu and Marui. Court 3." Yukimura said.

"Where's Gei'ichirō?" Yukimura asked.

"He went to the bathroom." Marui said as he was heading onto court 3. The two girls appeared again.

"Yukimura-kun~." They said in unison. All the sudden he heard a 'ding'. He checked his phone.

Satomi:
We're boarding now.
I'll text you as soon as I land in Paris.
愛しています (I love you)

A/N: Remember this is over text. It really doesn't mean much, in my dictionary anyways, unless you say it to their face. That will count as the first 'I love you'.

Yukimura had a small smile as he read it and he replied.

Yukimura:
Ok, don't forget, 愛しています.

The girls watched as he had a smile on his face. No one, not even Sanad has made him smile like that.

"Who are you texting?" The head cheerleader asked.

"It must be his family if he's smiling like that. They must have told him good news." The female captain said.

"Actually it's my girlfriend." Yukimura said. They were both in shock.

They backed away and headed out. As soon as Sanada arrived the two started practicing.

After taking a shower and about to head to bed, Yukimura got a text from Satomi. She had landed in Paris, but since there was no signal she had to wait until she arrived at her grandma's villa to send the message. Satomi asked if she could FaceTime and Seiichi called immediately.

"Sei-kun!" Satomi greeted with a bright smile. Seiichi smiled and greeted her back.

"Despite it being only a few hours, I miss you already." Satomi said.

"I miss you to, hime." Seiichi said teasing her.

"Don't call me hime. It's too girly." Satomi said.

"Whatever you say, hime." Seiichi said. Satomi huffed but gave a smile either way.

"As long as you don't call other girls that." Satomi said. Seiichi looked surprise but smiled and nodded.

The two chatted for a while before having to say goodbye.

"I'll text you later, and possibly call you later. Muwah!" Satomi said blowing a kiss.

"Bye-" Seiichi started, but she hung up already.

'Hmm...To be she was a broken light blub that needed to be fixed, but once the light bulb was fixed, it was the only light bulb that was used, to me, she is a light bulb that never dims. My light.' Yukimura thought as he lied in bed before drifting off to sleep.
