Pairing: Reader x Fuji syuuuske

In honor of the new Prince of Tennis Anime, I've decided to share here the old one-shot I've made of Fuji. Hope you guys like it ♡ ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Being Kunimitsu Tezuka's little sister has its pros and cons; the pros are being able to have private and hands-on training from none other than your own older brother. The cons that come with it, having to deal with the Segaku Tennis Club and its plethora of unique individuals.

Despite being part of the Female Tennis Club, [Name] Tezuka was mostly seen hanging around with the male regulars. Her closeness to them was due to her older brother being the captain, and the fact one of their regulars is in the same grade as her, which is none other than Ryoma Echizen.

Of course, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows as she saw the male prodigy none other than a rival. That story is for a different time, though.

At the moment, the younger Tezuka was busy the night before the 14th of February, making special sweets for her older brother, male rival, seniors, and of course, for one certain person.

"Right, tomorrow's the day I'm going to confess to Fuji-Senpai!" She promised as she continued making the sweets.

As morning came, [Name] awaited for her brother in the kitchen. Though the older Tezuka would mostly be the first person to wake up early between them, today was a different and special day. She had been cooking up a grandiose breakfast and a bento box for him. While doing so, in her mind, she had been trying her best to muster up the courage to finally do one thing she's been planning to do for so long.

"Good morning Nii-chan" She greeted sweetly as her brother entered the dining table.

The older Tezuka was slightly surprised at his sister's sudden demeanor. "You're cheerful today, something happened?"

[Name] pouted at her brother's response, "Geez, don't put me in the same grumpy boat as you. One of us should be the ball of sunshine in the family, after all."

Tezuka sipped the tea his sister had prepared earning a deadpan stare from his sister. [Name] then sighed, this was her brother she was dealing with- the stingiest man on earth. She always wondered how the heck her older brother could be so popular with the girls when in fact he'd probably bore them to death.

"Uhm Nii-chan" [Name] nervously stammered as she fiddled with the special chocolate she prepared for him. Her brother turned to her, one brow rose in curiosity. She then handed the chocolate to him along with him.

"H-Here..." She shyly mumbled.

Tezuka's brows rose seeing the gifts. He turned to his sister whose cheeks were tinted with red. In a low voice, she squeaked, "It's valentines day today, and so-I um baked these last night and made you a bento box."

"Ah, so that's why you slept late" Tezuka spoke.

"So you knew..." [Name] sheepishly scratched the back of her head. "Sorry if I made a bit of a ruckus."

"You don't have to apologize. It didn't bother me at all" He responded as he took a bite out of the chocolate. His eyes suddenly widened, "It's delicious... Thank you, [Name]."

[Name] was taken aback at how he just casually ate it. She was so nervous that it might taste horrible- so when her older brother instantly took a bite out of it, she almost had a heart attack then and there. To hear he loved it brought relief to her.

She exhaled deeply as she leaned back on their kitchen counter, "Really? Thank goodness... I was so scared I might have put in too much sugar."

"So you were treating me as your test subject then?"

"What O-of course not Nii-chan! Why would I do that to you? I'm not like Inui-senpai!" [Name] yelped. "Anyways, I've made a whole bunch of chocolates for the rest of the Segaku team. Can you give it to them for me?"

"I think it might be better if you were to hand over it to them" Tezuka replied.

"Eh?!" [Name] gawked. "But- but isn't that a bit embarrassing?"

Though being close to the regulars, [Name] wasn't really that openly affectionate and sweet around them. She can come off as cold to others, because of her strong admiration for her older brother; But she's been trying her best to break down her icy barrier and open up to others. The only people who she's confident in opening up to are mostly her older brothers, Sakuno, Ryoma, and to some extent Fuji-senpai as well.

Still, she was trying her very best to be much more friendly towards the other regulars as well. However it doesn't change the fact she's been considered a Tsundere. One of her senpais, Kikumaru-senpai to be specific, even gave her the nickname Chibi Tsun-Tsun.

"It's common courtesy that you should be the one to give to them" Tezuka spoke.

"B-But-" Her brother had a point though. [Name] let out a heavy sigh. There was no going back to the promise she made last night. It was time to pluck up some courage.

"Alright..."

Though she was fine with giving the treats to the other senpai's and Ryoma. Her problem was how she was going to accomplish her plan of giving it to Fuji. She may act cold at times. It doesn't change the fact she's very bad at hiding her feelings, especially her huge crush on him from time to time.

She would often be a blushing mess around him and tongue-tied whenever he'd talk to her. Sometimes, the other senpais would even tease her at how nervous she gets around Fuji-senpai.

"Let's go now [Name]. We'll be late for school" Tezuka spoke as he sat up, finishing his breakfast. "You should finish up as well."

"Right."

The brother and sister duo then walked together to school. It was one of their routines ever since [Name] finally entered Seishun Gakuen. In her bag were the numerous chocolates she had made which were wrapped nicely. While walking, she wondered if Sakuno had made chocolates as well- it was no surprise if she were to give some to Ryoma since her feelings for him were very obvious.

"I wonder how that Baka-chibi's gonna react?" [Name] lightly chuckled at the thought.

"Is something the matter, [Name]?" Tezuka turned to her.

"Oh, nothing" She chirped. "Say Nii-chan, since it's Valentine's day. I'm not surprised if you get a ton of chocolates and love letters."

"If you want some of the chocolates, you can have them" Tezuka bluntly replied.

"What?" She squawked. "That's so mean! Shouldn't you appreciate the effort put into those chocolates?"

"Your chocolates are enough for me [Name]."

She was taken aback at her brother's words. How could he say something so embarrassing with a stern face? The struggles with dealing with a straight-laced older brother who attempts to be sweet and soft at times. It would sometimes cringe her.

"I think you should prepare to give the other one right now" He informed.

[Name]'s brows furrowed at what her brother meant until she heard a familiar voice speak. "Tezuka, [Name]-chan, good morning."

Instantly her body froze in place upon seeing the approaching figure. It was none other than Fuji. Her face blanched. Sure Fuji tends to join them in walking to school, but this was a different situation. It was Valentine's Day and he might be expecting some chocolates- though she had made some for him, she was planning on giving it to him along with confessing.

Yet now wasn't the right time to do so!

"Good morning Fuji" The older Tezuka greeted while [Name] was having an internal panic attack.

"What a nice weather we have today," Fuji said. "Did you know that today's Valentine's day?"

Tezuka gave a quick glance at his sister; though she didn't talk much about it, he was well aware of his sister's feelings for his colleague but didn't want to intervene with it. He then responded, "You don't say, Fuji?"

"It's no surprise if many of our club members receive chocolates today" Fuji mused. He then turned to [Name], "I'm sure [Name]-chan here's baked some for someone special as well."

"In fact she has," Tezuka said placing a hand on her shoulders.

[Name] turned to his brother with widened eyes. 'What the heck is Nii-chan doing?!' She internally screamed. Out of all the times he had decided to offer his help as a wingman, -not like she even asked for his help- it had to be now!

"I see," Fuji said with a small smile. "How lucky are you Tezuka to have a sweet sister making chocolates for you."

"Actually, she's been up all n-"

"Well look at the time?!" [Name] spoke up, cutting her brother off. If this was his way of trying to help, then his services aren't needed. "I forgot I still have to go meet Sakuno and Tomoka before class starts! I'll just go on ahead, alright? See you around Nii-chan, Fuji-senpai!"

She then dashed ahead leaving the two seniors behind. Fuji couldn't help but chuckle at [Name]'s antics, "Always energetic... She's really quite the ball of sunshine don't you agree, Tezuka?"

Tezuka let out a heavy sigh. "You don't say..."

Arriving at the school gate, [Name] panted heavily. "Stupid Nii-chan! You're so stupid!" She mumbled as she leaned on the gate, trying to recover the strength she lost after dashing a great distance. "I'm going to confess alright. Just not at that moment."

"Confess to Fuji?" [Name] quickly jumped back. Her heart almost stopped upon hearing that name. As she spun around, she saw the smirking look of none other than Kikumaru who had a mischievous aura radiating from him. "Good morning Chibi Tsun-Tsun."

"Oh it's just you Kikkumaru-senpai" [Name] sighed in relief. "Good morning."

"[Name], Eiji, good morning" Oishi greeted upon arriving. "Is Tezuka absent for the day?"

"Good morning, Oishi-senpai. I actually went ahead of Nii-chan" She responded, fiddling with the hem of her skirt at the reason why she ran off earlier.

"Huh? That's strange don't you usually walk with Tezuka?" Kikkamura pondered as he poked his chin. "I thought you always love to walk with him since Fuji always joins you together."

"It has nothing to do with Fuji-senpai ok?!" [Name] squeaked earning a chuckle from Kikkumaru.

"Come on Eiji, you should stop teasing her you know," Oishi told him. "Let's head inside already or else we'll be late."

"Righty hoo~" Kikumaru purred. He then lightly ruffled [Name]'s hair before going. "See you around Chibu Tsun-Tsun."

"Oh wait before you guys go!" [Name] called out to them. The two seniors stopped in their tracks as they watched her pull out two wrapped treats from her school bag. "Kikumaru-senpai, Oishi-senpai."

"Hm? What is [Name]?" Oishi turned to her.

"Oohhh~ What are you holding [Name]? Nyaa~" Kikkumaru purred eyes gazing at the gift in her hands.

She then bashfully hands the homemade chocolates to them. In a shy voice, she greeted, "H-Happy Valentine's day. I made them for you guys."

Kikumaru couldn't help but smile. "[Name] making chocolates for me!? Nyaa, this must be a dream" he purred as he threw his hands around her and nuzzled his cheeks on top of her head. "Thank you so much [Name]-chan!"

"Thank you, [Name]" Oishi beamed.

"You're welcome" She replied, letting Kikkumaru's affectionate hug slide. She was already used to him engulfing her in hugs, so it was no big deal. "I hope you guys like it. I made sure to make enough for everyone"

"That's sweet of you [Name]" Oishi said. "Eiji, you're squeezing her."

"I-I'm used to it Oishi-senpai" I squeaked.

"Nyaa, [Name] you must've baked one for Fuji as well, haven't you? I can smell it being much more sweet than ours." The [hair color]-haired girl blushed at Kikumaru's statement. Seeing this, the red-headed senior laughed. "You have, haven't you? When are you going to give it to him? Are you planning in confessing?"

[Name]'s face was now as red as a tomato. It started to rival Kikkumaru's hair. "Eiji, stop teasing her" Oishi sighed, feeling bad for the girl. "You should get going now [Name] or else he won't stop messing with you."

"R-right" [Name] lowered her head, in hopes her hair would hide her blushing face. "I-I'll be going now!"

She then ran ahead into the school. Upon arriving at the cubicle where her shoes were, her attention was then caught by the sound of students huddling at a certain male. "Wow! No surprise Ryoma's got lots of gifts!"

In the middle of the crowding group was none other than her schoolmate, tennis club member, and rival, Ryoma Echizen. [Name] watched as he looked at the number of chocolates and letters pouring out from his shoebox. It was to be expected since Echizen was quite popular in the female group.

"Guess Echizen's got a haul," A tall male with dark spiky hair said. He turned to another male who stood beside him- he had a green bandana wrapped around his head and had a nasty scowl. "You think he's gonna share some for us, Kaidou?"

It was none other than Momo and Kaidou. One of the regulars who are one year higher than [Name] and Echizen.

"You're just jealous that you might not get any today" Kaidou spoke in a gruff tone.

"Hey! I'm quite popular too you know. In fact, I'm sure I'm much more popular than you" Momo huffed earning a nasty glare from Kaidou.

[Name] let out a sigh as her two seniors exchange deadly looks. Before they'd start cobbling each other, she decided it was best to give them their chocolates or else she'll get caught in the upcoming clash. "Here you guys."

The 2nd years glance down at the younger Tezuka with confused looks. They then swiped the chocolates from their hands.Eyes widened upon seeing the small trinket.

"Wow! Didn't expect I'd get one so early! Thanks [Name]-chan!" Momo ruffled her hair earning a frown by her. "I'll return the favor on White Day! Promise!"

"That's sweet of you Momo-senpai, but you guys enjoying the chocolate is enough for me" [Name] replied, shyly dwindling her thumbs.

Kaido nodded, "Thanks, kid."

"I'm not a kid you know Kaido-senpai" [Name] pouted as she fixed her hair. Unlike her senpais from the 3rd year, she found herself at least being able to casually talk to her 2nd year Senpais- although there were still times she'd give snarky remarks and cause some unwanted feud with them. Over time, she found herself getting along with them, probably because they were near her age.

"Hope you guys like it!"

As much as she wanted to give some to Echizen then and there, it seemed like it'd be a bit difficult since the tennis prodigy was still fazed at the number of gifts he had received; not to mention the Tomoka trying to get his attention.

[Name] let out a sigh. Out of all the people she had no plans on dealing with, the no. 1 will always be the leader of the so-called Ryoma Echizen fan club. She was too hyper and energetic for her liking- even saw her a somewhat of a rival for Echizen's attention.

"As if I'd want that Baka-chibi attention" [Name] muttered under her breath as she headed for class.

During the whole morning, [Name]'s focus flew out the window as her thoughts mostly consisted of her upcoming confession. She was aware she had made a vow the other night to finally admit her feelings for so long, but doubt slowly crept in. Who wouldn't be nervous about it?

Fuji was one of her first friends in Seigaku, even before she had studied there- thanks to the days her older brother would invite him to their house. She had known him for so long and even watched the matches he had ever since he became a regular. He even gave her advice on tennis practice as well. She always thought this might just be puppy love, but how come she hasn't grown out of it? Fuji was just an amazing person, a great player, and even a dear friend to her.

To some point, he might just even see her as a little sister. Would confessing be the right move?

[Name] let out a heavy sigh. 'Why am I even worrying about this? Out of all the dilemmas I had to have, it had to be about Fuji-senpai.'

As lunchtime came, [Name] decided to continue on handing out chocolates to her friends. She then spotted Echizen standing outside their classroom gazing out the window. Before approaching him, she first surveyed the area if his fans were around.

The young male noticed [Name]'s demeanor and let out a heavy sigh. "You look like a stalker you know."

[Name] scoffed, "I'm just checking if the coast is clear." She approached the male and handed him the chocolates, "Here have it Ryoma."

Echizen's brows rose upon receiving the gift. "What is it [Name]?" he asked inspecting the trinket. "Should I give this to someone for you?"

[Name]'s brows twitched at his question. "They're chocolates you dense shorty!"

"Chocolates? For what?" Echizen looked at her in confusion.

"Baka-chibi... It's Valentine's day! My gosh, you are so infuriating!" [Name] exclaimed. "Didn't you just receive a butt load of letters earlier?"

"Oh those, I just thought Tomoka was just doing something extravagant again" Echizen replied tugging his cap. "Most of those letters and gifts were signed by her, and one from Sakuno."

[Name] sweatdropped. "Wow, didn't know she was that dedicated," she remarked. "Still... You should show some appreciation."

"It's sweet." She turned to the male seeing as he had taken a bite out of the chocolate. "They're delicious [Name], thanks."

Her eyes widened, taken aback by how casually he ate it. "Don't eat it here!" She exclaimed, cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

"Then where should I eat it?" Echizen retorted.

"Any place where I'm not around!"

"But you said I should show some appreciation?"

"That's not what I mean!" [Name] huffed as she turned her heels. "Honestly Echizen, you're such a big moron... I'm going now, see you later."

With that, [Name] then proceeded to look for Kawamura and Inui. She had later found them during tennis club practice. Her two seniors were elated upon receiving such a gift.

Kawamura beamed, "Wow! Thanks [Name]!"

"Thank you [Name]" Inuid said. "The contents of this drink might help me create a new concoction for my Inui juice."

Distraught washed over Kawamura and [Name]'s face at the mention of such infamous drink. [Name] wondered if giving Inui was the right option or if had she just dug her own grave even deeper.

"I heard from the others you've made these chocolates all by yourself" Kawamura began, deciding on changing the subject. "You're quite the little chef [Name]. Maybe you should try and do part-time for us?"

[Name] awkwardly chuckled, "Thanks but my schedule's already packed with training and all."

"That's true, well the offer's always open [Name]" Kawamura replied. "Just give me a call if you're interested."

"Maybe soon" [Name] chuckled. She then looked at her watch, "Oh my! I still have to help the other seniors. I'll get going now, see you guys around!"

The two then watched the younger Tezuka head to the tennis court where the other female members were. "It's nice to see [Name] starting to open up to us" Kawamura noted but the smile on his face quickly vanished upon seeing Inui begin on doing stuff with the chocolate. "Please don't let us drink that."

All the male regulars then began on doing their warm ups lead by their captain, Tezuka. After a couple of rounds, they all huddled together and took a breather- but for some reason, they didn't look that exhausted. Coach Ryuzaki noticed this strange and positive behavior and was then curious.

"You lot are sure happy" She noted. "Seems like you boys got some Valentine's dates."

"Well, who wouldn't be Coach? It's my first Valentine's day to get a gift!" Momo cheered as he pulled out the gift. "The young and icy cold [Name] gave us such a warm and kindhearted gift."

"You're exaggerating it Momo-senpai" Echizen noted.

"Let me have my moment!" Moko responded.

"Well, we have to hand it to [Name] in making each of us chocolates," Oishi said. "She must've worked all night for this."

"Are you sure she didn't ask for help from Tezuka?" Coach Ryuzaki suggested.

They then all had an image of the older Tezuka in a cute frilly apron baking chocolate with a cheerful smile on his face as he worked alongside his sister. The thought of it quickly frightened them.

"That's entirely impossible," They all said in unison.

"What are you talking about over there?" Tezuka approached them. Beside him was Fuji who had the usual smile plastered on his face. "Breaks over in 3 minutes, you guys better prepare."

"Will do captain!" Kikumaru, Momo, and Kawamura chirped.

"Say Tezuka-senpai, what did [Name] give you for Valentine's day?" Momo questioned.

"What [Name] gave me?" He was slightly surprised at the sudden question. "Well, she prepared me some breakfast and gave me chocolates along with a bento box."

They were all in awe at his reply. Kikumaru cooed, "Oh to taste [Name]-chan's cooking. I envy you so much Tezuka."

"I see, so that's why you stay back in the classroom," Fuji said in amusement. "Some of the girls in our class thought you're girlfriend gave you the bento box."

"What about you Fuji-senpai? I'm sure [Name] gave you something special" Momo asked eyebrows wiggling. It then spiked everyone's curiosity, eager to know what the younger Tezuka had gifted him.

Fuji tilted his head, "Well, unlike Tezuka... [Name]-chan hasn't given me anything." His response caught everyone off guard. "In fact, throughout the whole day she's been somewhat avoiding me. I don't know why though."

'It's probably because she's nervous around you'They all thought. Everyone already knew about the obvious crush the younger Tezuka had for the Tennis Genius, and at times it would infuriate them seeing how oblivious he was.

"Break times over, it's time for practice matches" Tezuka announced clapping hid hands. Everyone then stood up and went to grab their rackets, Tezuka picked up his bag- he was surprised to see that the racket inside was [Name]'s. "We must've switched bags."

Fujj chuckled, "Didn't expect the Tezuka siblings to be a bit scatterbrained as well. Why don't I go get your racket from [Name] while you and Inui discuss the match ups?"

Everyone's ears perked up at the sudden suggestion. This then spiked their curiosity once again. With keen eyes, they watch as the Tennis Genius heads towards the female court.

[Name], at the moment was doing stretches. Rather than joining in the practice matches for today, she decided to referee it instead. It may not be that obvious, but she was slightly drained from the late-night cooking along with the stress of dealing with her feelings for Fuji-senpai.

She felt bad for trying her best to avoid him throughout the day. She cursed her thoughts for making her all tongue-tied. "And I thought I was making progress with my nervousness around him."

"[Name]-chan!" Her eyes widened upon hearing him call out to her.

Instantly all hairs stood on end as he approached her. She wanted to run away as far as possible since she was not in the state to have a casual chat with him. No- she internally slapped herself. Running away would do no good! In fact, why should she run away? It's not like he's going to reject you all of a sudden.

The words REJECTION then flashed before her mind.

Realization dawned upon her as she knew their was a possibility he might reject her. Fear then washes over her at the chance that not only Fuji might reject her, but even ruin their friendship. It felt like her world was about to shatter then and there.

"[Name]-chan..." She snapped out of her trance as Fuji lightly shook her.

"Huh-what, Oh Fuji-senpai" She stammered in her words as the male tennis player stood before her. "What b-brings you here?"

He gave her a small smile- one that made her internally squeal at high decibels. "Tezuka told me to get his racket" he handed her the Racket that was from her brother's bag. "Apparently you guys had switched rackets."

"Is that so? Let me go get it" She then ran to her bag that was placed on the bench. She was trying to be as calm and cool as possible. "Now I know why my bag was slightly heavier."

As she opened her bag and pulled out her racket, a small trinket dropped from her bag. Fuji noticed then and began to pick it up, "[Name]-chan you dropped something."

As [Name] turned to see what it was, her eyes widened upon seeing what he had picked up. "Fuji-senpai wait-"

"Huh? It has a nametag-" He was about to read who it was addressed to but [Name] managed to snatch it away quickly. Fuji was surprised at how swiftly she was able to take it off his hands. He turned to the young Tezuka, surprised seeing the panic-stricken girl huddle unto the ground clutching onto the gift. "[Name]-chan?"

[Name] was sweating greatly. Her pupils were dilated at the close call. 'Fuji-senpai almost saw the gift... He almost saw it'Her hands clutched onto the chocolate tightly. She then gasped upon hearing a light crack coming from the gift she made. Their eyes widened upon realizing what she had done. "N-No..."

"[Name]-chan is something wrong?"

Of course there was!

[Name] wanted to tell him that. Her chocolates for Fuji were crushed by her own strength. If only she had let him pick it up and not get scared this wouldn't have happened. Now look at what had happened, the special present she made for someone special is now ruined.

She bit her bottom lip, trying to stop herself from crying. Her one chance of showing appreciation for Fuji was now gone...

All because of how she's afraid he'd find out about her feelings. Wasn't that the plan? Didn't she want him to know?

It's all because of her fear of rejection...

"[Name]-chan" She felt a hand place on her shoulder. She turned to see it was Fuji, brows slightly furrowed. "Is something the matter? Oh no, that gift in your hand- is it ruined? Were you planning on giving it to someone special?"

"F-Fuji-senpai" She croaked. She looked down at the gift, lips quivering. "I was supposed to give this to someone who means a lot to me. I made so much effort in making this and now its ruined."

"That's terrible" Fuji replied. "Maybe he'll still accept it, who knows? If it were me, I would happily accept whatever you make [Name]-chan."

[Name]'s eyes widened at what he said. "Y-you mean that?"

"Huh? Of course" Fuji beamed. "Everything you make is always from the heart, [Name]. You always put your effort into the things you do. Especially when it comes to the people you care about. If you were to give something to me, I would wholeheartedly accept it no matter what its shape or form."

[Name] could feel her heart beat rapidly. She was awestruck at his words. If she were to tell him then and there, then would he accept it? But what about the chances of rejection?

Screw it!

Who cares if she gets rejected or not? As long as Fuji-senpai knows how she feels and how much she cares for him, she doesn't care what the outcome is. She will always be there for him!

"Fuji-senpai... If you aren't busy," She began, the tennis genius tilted his hand in curiosity. Clutching her fists, she spoke up. "Can we talk somewhere privately? Some place where we can be alone?"

"Hm? Sure" Fuji responded.

It was time for her to tell him...

The male regulars were then doing stretches while Inui, Tezuka and Coach Ryuzaki were discussing the matchups for today's round.

"Fuji-senpai's sure taking his time" Momo sighed as he helped Kaido in stretching.

"Who knows, maybe Chibi Tsun-Tsun's finally confessing to him somewhere" Kikumaru suggested.

"That may sound possible, but it's [Name] we're talking about" Oishi replied. "I doubt she'll admit her feelings to him out of the blue."

On the side of the court, Echizen was taking a sip from his water jug when he noticed two certain people walking into the foresty area of the school. His brows rose up upon recognizing who they were. It seemed like the others noticed as well as Kawamura pointed out, "Hey isn't that [Name] and Fuji?"

[Name] wanted to tell him in some place where no one could hear or see them. She wasn't the type to openly tell the whole world she's fallen for someone- though she felt a bit hypocritical since almost all of her friends knew about her feelings for Fuji. Nevertheless, she's willing to gamble it. She wanted this feeling she had been holding to be finally freed.

"[Name]-chan, where are you planning on taking me?" Fuji asked.

"This place is enough" She replied as she stood by a tree. It seemed there was nobody around except for the two of them. This was the best place she could find to finally tell him how she really felt.

She took in a deep breath, gathering all the courage she muster. She balled her fists tightly, she could feel her body quiver at what she was about to do. Yet she gave no heed to it, it was now or never.

"F-Fuji-senpai"

The brown-haired senior turned to her. "Hm?" He hummed, curious about what the younger Tezuka had in store. "What's the matter, [Name]-chan?"

[Name]'s lips quivered struggling to find the right words to say. Unbeknownst to her, the other regulars have hidden behind some bushes and trees watching the confession unfold.

"Come on [Name]! Give it to him" Momo rooted.

"You can do this!" Oishi whispered.

"You can do this kid" Kaidou muttered

"This is exciting" Kawamura was thrilled. "Win Fuji's heart"

Inui was there as well, calculating. "Chances of [Name] confessing are 99.9%"

Upon hearing this, Kikumaru smiled. "Go Chibi Tsun-Tsun!"

Ryoma watched as his seniors were all huddled together eavesdropping on the two. "Why am I even with you guys-"

"Shh!!! We'll be caught!" Momo hushed him. Kaido and Momo then grabbed a hold of him and covered his mouth. The poor 1st year could only attempt to struggle as he was forced to accompany them.

"It's starting" Oishi informed them. Everyone then turned their attention back to the two.

Finally finding the resolve, [Name] began. "Uhm... Fuji-senpai, I"

"Are you alright [Name]-chan?" He questioned as he leaned closer, causing the girl's blush to worsen. "Your cheeks are red, do you have a fever?"

He then placed his hand on her forehead. "Your temperature seems normal, thank goodness" he sighed in relief. "You'll make me worry if you get sick all of a sudden."

"F-Fuji-senpai will get worried!?" [Name] stammered head overheating upon hearing what he said. She could probably faint then and there.

'Damn, Fuji is smooth' The second and third-year regulars all thought together. On the other hand, Echizen focused on [Name] curious to see how she handled the situation.

It seemed like she'd finally snapped out of her trance as she looked down at the ground. Head finally clear, she looked at the male with admiration.

'Fuji-senpai...' She looked at him in awe. Eyes softened as she contemplated, 'You're the most caring person I know. You always watch out for me. Supported me in everything I do. Even though I'm just some pathetic tennis player who could never reach up to your standards, you still stood by my side. I thought I'd be just some nuisance to you...Yet, here I am standing in front of you... About to say the words I've been wanting to say for a long time now'

With head held high, and eyes focused unto she spoke. "Fuji-senpai, I-"

"It'll be no good if you're absent for the next game" His words suddenly cut her off. Which caused the girl to pause. The Tennis Genius stood there with brows furrowed, "How could you do well if you're not in top condition for your future games."

The male regulars were infuriated by this. They were so close, [Name] was so close. Out of all the times he could have been talking about Tennis, it had to be now. Their attention turned to the girl, seeing the look of surprise plastered on her face.

They were worried that [Name] might have lost hope.

But she begs to differ as a different thought crosses her mind. Realization dawned upon her. 'That's right... Tennis is the only thing connecting us. The bond we share is through tennis and... I doubt we could go farther from there... If so...'

She balled her fists tightly and looked up at him with an eager smile. "Fuji-senpai, I want to play one game with you!"

Everyone was eavesdropping was stunned. Even Fuji was surprised at this, "Why the sudden invite?"

"I've always wanted to play a match with you" She responded. "Don't hold back... Treat me as if I'm a true opponent!"

"But [Name]-chan I-"

"No excuses Fuji-senpai!" She cut him off. "Don't you dare look down on me just because I'm Kunimitsu Tezuka's sister... I'm also a tennis player who strives to be one of the best!"

Fuji turned to her in awe. "[Name]-chan..." the corners of his lips then curled into a grin. "Then, I will gladly accept it."

[Name]'s eyes widened with delight. The male regulars who were eavesdropping were surprised at this. Fuji wasn't the type to accept these kinds of offers and yet, here he was accepting the challenge of the younger Tezuka. They didn't know if they should be worried or excited- the third-year regulars recalled about the clash their captain and Fuji had. It was a great brawl- seeing Fuji up against [Name] will be an interesting match.

They already knew how skillful [Name] was. But she hadn't fought up against Fuji- only Echizen, Momo, Kaido, and even her brother.

"Then why don't we have a match at this moment? Maybe Oishi and the others can volunteer as our referees" Fuji suggested as he turned to where the others were hiding, alarming them. "Kawamura, why don't you be our referee?"

Knowing there was no point in hiding anymore, everyone came out of their hiding spot. [Name] was frazzled at her eavesdropping senior. She shot them nasty looks but decided to deal with them later. She turned to Fuji, "Let's get started then Fuji-Senpai."

They all then headed to one vacant court. Kawamura was the one who volunteered to be the referee. The other male regulars watch anxiously at the upcoming match.

"Do you think [Name]-chan will be alright?" Momo asked in worry. "Sure she's one of the strongest in the female regulars, but she's up against Fuji."

"Who knows, maybe Fuji might dial it back a bit?" Kikumaru wondered as he looked at the two preparing. "How in the world did this confession turn into a match?"

"I guess as Tezuka's sister, [Name] has her quirks as well" Oishi replied. "Although, this will be an interesting match."

"The No. 1's sister vs. Seigaku's Tennis Prodigy" Inui mumbled as he fixed his glasses. "This will be an interesting match indeed."

The match then was about to begin. Fuji gave [Name] the privilege to serve first. "I think it would be better for the person who started this match to serve first."

"Such a gentleman you are Fuji-senpai" [Name] cooed as she began to serve. Everyone was stunned at what happened next. The ball managed to pass through Fuji easily. "But I have no intention of holding back."

Kawamura's jaw dropped. "15-L-Love."

The female tennis club members cheered at the quick point their member had gotten. The male regulars were stunned to see this.

"That was a fast serve" Momo gawked.

"Like I said, Fuji-senpai..."[Name] turned to him, raising her racket at him. Her eyes narrowed as she gave him a stern look. "Don't you dare look down on me because I'm your captain's sister."

Fuji's brows rose. "Very well then..." The corners of his mouth quirked up, "Then today... You will be my opponent [Name]."

"I'm betting on that."

The atmosphere suddenly tensed up. It was still the start of the match but everyone could sense the firey tension the two players had emitted. It soon reflected on their game, as neither of them were holding back.

"[Name] style: Tezuka.... Zone" She exclaimed as she finally did her version of her older brother's technique.

"There it is! [Name]'s Tezuka Zone!" Momo exclaimed.

"Is this even a friendly match anymore?" Kikumaru yelped.

"It's [Name] and Fuji-senpai we're talking about" Echizen spoke up. "A match is a match to them no matter who the opponent is."

Fuji then counters [Name]'s swing with his Tsubame Gaeshi.

"None of them are holding back" Kaido noted.

"And it's what both of them liked," Echizen said as he focused on [Name].

Despite the serious look on her face. Sweat dripped down her forehead as the match continued. This may be one of the most difficult matches she's ever participated in. Yet, maybe one of the best as well. She looked at Fuji who had a serious look on his face.

A small smile crept on her lips, thankful that he did what she asked him to do...

'Fuji-senpai... Ever since I've started playing tennis, it was one of my goals to play against you. Not because of my feelings but because I love tennis. Seeing you play, your skills... It was one of the things that made me strive to practice more! This is why, Fuji-senpai... May I convey my feelings through this game. No matter what the outcome is...I'm grateful!!!'

[Name] then hit the tennis ball with all of her might. Fuji watched as the ball flew upward. Everyone anticipated on the next counter he was about to perform.

'This is strange' He pondered as he focused on the ball. 'I may have seen [Nams]-chan plays like this before, or maybe... It's because she was serious about playing against me. Her style, I expected it to be the same as Tezuka's. Every game she's been in, what I deduced was that she tries to be like her brother...But as I play against her, I could now tell the difference. [Name] may be striving to surpass her brother but she isn't aiming to be like him...'

The memory of watching the Tezuka siblings have a match with each other flashed before his eyes. He had found it adorable how [Name] would happily jump around whenever she'd win a point against her brother. He always knew she had the potential to one day be stronger than Tezuka, in fact, she might even surpass him one day.

'[Name]-chan, how great it is for us to finally have a match like this. You're even making going all out... You certainly are special, despite having a long way to go, I could see that you'll finally reach your goal one day...' He then was about to do his special counter. His eyes shot open stunning everyone. "But first you have to defeat me! Hoo Gaeshi!"

All the regulars are shocked at the sudden turn of events.

"No way! [Name] made Fuji-senpai serious!?" Momo's jaws dropped.

Kikumaru's eyes widened. "Wahhh, I'm now worried. It may just be a friendly match, but they're starting to get even more serious Nyaa!!"

"I think we should end this game already" Oishi suggested.

"No" A voice joined in. Everyone was stunned to see their captain arrive.

"C-Captain?!" Oishi yelped.

"No way... You really came to watch?!" Momo was in disbelief.

"I've actually been looking for you guys for our match to begin... But it seems a far much more interesting match is happening here" Tezuka said as he looked at the players giving it their all. Despite noticing that [Name]'s body began to tremble, he knew that stopping her would only anger her.

"Tezuka-senpai, do you think we should end the match now" Momo suggested. "[Name]'s getting more and more weak."

Tezuka turned to them. "Do you think if you end this match, they'll be happy about it?

They contemplated for a moment before agreeing.

"Thinking about it, I think I don't want to be on the receiving end of their furry" Momo noted.

"Not just that..." Echizen began. "Fuji Senpaj and [Name] don't intend to end this match and see the victor. They're testing each other's strength."

The other regulars turned to him with a confused look. Ryoma's brows furrowed seeing the dumbfounded looks on their faces, "Come on, isn't it obvious? They're having fun... Right captain?

Tezuka nodded in response. "Fuji and [Name] have always known each other for a very long time. But neither have ever engaged in a match before."

He then returned his attention to the two. 'Fuji...[Name]...Never have I seen you two face off like this before. [Name], is this how you convey your feelings to Fuji? Fuji is this your response to [Name].'

"Game set and Match 6-5" Kawamura announced. "Winner Fuji!"

Everyone applauded at the outcome of the match. [Name] dropped to the ground, panting heavily.

"I guess I lost..." She sighed. "It was arrogant of me to think I could face of against Fuji-senpai. But, it was such an amazing game..."

"[Name]-chan." She glanced up at the senior who held out his hand. "That was an amazing game. You certainly are amazing. I'm glad we got to have a match.

"F-Fuji-senpai" [Name] looked at him with widened eyes. She then smiled as she grabbed it. "I had fun."

"I did too" He replied.

The other regulars then ran towards them to congratulate them on an amazing match that had happened. Some of them couldn't help but express their worry at the possibility that things might get rough which caused the two to chuckle. Tezuka even expressed how proud he was of [Name].

At that moment, [Name] felt like she was the happiest girl in the world. To be surrounded by great friends, to experience such a marvelous game with Fuji, that moment felt surreal- unaware that she and Fuji were still holding hands even as they made out the court.

The only person who noticed this was none other than Echizen. A proud smirk crept on his lips as he tugged down his cap. "Not bad..."

"Wahhh!!!! I forgot to give the chocolates to Fuji-senpai! I'm such an idiot, after all that trouble" [Name] whined as she plopped herself into their living room on the couch. She felt stupid for forgetting the one thing she was planning to do on that day. She had only recalled about it the following day.

"I can't believe forgot!" She whined.

"Kunimitsu, your friend Shusuke is here" [Name] heard her mother announce.

"What?! Fuji-senpai is here?!" She gasped. She then slowly peeked out the hallway seeing the brown haired male meet up with her brother.

"What brings you here Fuji? Did the coach need me?" Tezuka asked.

"I apologize for the intrusion Tezuka, but I didn't actually come here for you" Fuji spoke.

"Eh?" [Name] blinked back. "Fuji-senpai's not here for Nii-chan?"

"Is Mieko here?" He suddenly asked which made [Name]'s jaw drop.

"What??????"

"Ah, I see" Tezuka spoke. He then turned to where his sister was. "[Name], Fuji's here for you. You don't have to hide and pretend you're sleeping."

[Name] shot a deadpan look at her brother. As she begrudgingly walked to them. "Geez Nii-chan. I wasn't even planning on hiding" She grumbled. She wondered if her brother was being a wingman or straight-up punishing her for the unplanned match.

She then turned her attention back to Fuji. "So, what is it Fuji-senpai?"

A soft smile formed on his face. He then pulled out something from his coat which caught her off guard. "[Name]-chan, here."

[Name] was shocked as Fuji gave her a rose. Her eyes widened at the beautiful flower given to her. "E-eh... F-Fuji-senpai, I what-"

Fuji chuckled at her dumbfounded look. "I actually saw it as I passed by a flower shop when I was heading home. So I decided to buy it for you, as a thank-you gift."

"T-thank you for what?" She stuttered.

"It's a secret..." He playfully winked at her causing her cheeks to redden. "Well, that's the only thing I came by here. See you tomorrow [Name], Tezuka... And I hope you'll love the rose [Name]-chan."

Without another word, he then ran off. [Name] was awestruck at the gift she had suddenly received. As she looked at the flower, a small note was attached to it.

"This rose reminds me of you, it has it thorns... But it blooms beautifully like you" She read it. Cheeks flushing red even more at the message. "F-Fuji-senpai..."

"Ahem," Tezuka coughed, making his sister jump back.

"N-Nii-chan" She was frazzled. "I forgot you still-

"I'm not really against what's going on between you and Fuji-"

"But nothing is going on between us!"

He sighed. "I know... Just don't grow up too fast..." he gave her a small smile as he ruffled her hair. "You're still my little sister after all"

"Hey, cut it out!" She whined as she jumped away from her brother. Her eyes widened at the soft expression her brother had. One that could only be seen once in a blue moon. Suddenly, realization struck at her.

"Oh no! I forgot to give Fuji-senpai my chocolates... I wasted another opportunity" She whined.

Tezuka just sighed. The struggles of having a little sister with a love life filled with mishaps.
