fall in love with Echizen

The sun was too strong, even though I was huddled in the shade, I still felt the sun shining in, and it was so hot.

The dragons and horses didn't move, they were very quiet, their faces were still indifferent, and they felt cold when they looked at them.

I silently moved to his side, close to, away from the edge of the sun.

His arm touched Ryoma's side, and he looked down at me.

I put my head on his shoulder, my face squeezed against him, Ryoma lowered his head, the brim of his hat almost touched the top of my head.

My whole weight was on him, and I beeped softly: "I'm so tired."

"..." Ryoma's voice was right above my head, "Didn't you just sit here? You didn't move."

"Because the sun is too big." I said listlessly, "I'm going to get dark, it's so hot—"

I feel the light spots cast by the gaps in the woods sprinkled on my bare arms. It is very hot today, so I only wear short sleeves and bloomers.

In order to avoid it, he reached out and put one arm on the dragon horse's leg, and the other grabbed the coat clothes behind him.

Ryoma, who was completely hugged by me: "...Are you a koala?"

Because my face was squeezed, some meat was piled up, and my voice was a little blurred: "No, I am moldy bread and cannot be exposed to the sun."

Ryoma: "...what are you talking about?"

I looked lazily at the playing field, and changed the subject perfunctorily: "...It's Senior Haitang and..."

Long Ma raised his eyes and added: "Senior Taocheng."

I followed along and said, "...and Taocheng senior, eh, it's the senior who played doubles with you last time, right?"

Ryoma let out a hum from his throat.

After staying for a while, I leaned on him and squinted and almost fell asleep.

"I'm going to buy soda." Ryoma said suddenly.

I woke up in an instant: "Huh?...So, then you go."

I let go of him and straightened up only to find that Ryoma's palm was grabbing the end of my hair, but not tightly. As soon as I moved away, the black hair end slipped from his palm.

Echizen Ryoma paused, stood up with his hands up, "What do you want?"

I rubbed my eyes: "I don't want to. You go."

"Then I'll go play in the open field and come back after the game." Longma picked up the backpack on the ground, bowed his head, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Are you coming?"

I said decisively, "No, I'll wait for you here, bye."

Ryoma: "..."

He walked away, I thought about it, opened the sun umbrella and approached the field.

Two people re-entered the stage, are... the golden partner of the doubles?I just remember the title.

When the two of them played, they even clapped their hands in tacit understanding.

Opposite is St. Rudolph.

I was just looking at it casually, and the people around me were full of cheers and screams.

It won't work if you don't integrate it.

Everyone: "Qingxue, come on!!"

I followed and shouted: "Come on—!"

Everyone: "Senior Kikumaru, come on!!"

Me: "Come on—!"

Mixing in, I actually felt a little bit of excitement.

Especially the moment when Kikumaru-senpai lost a few goals, but turned the defeat into victory again.

I said happily: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The atmosphere is contagious, and the heart is excited.

……

Seeing that Qingxue was about to win, the reversal came quickly.

"Why... I thought I would win..."

"It seems that Kikumaru-senpai has lost his stamina..."

"I can't hold it anymore."

I listened to it, and let go of the hands on my chest.

It seems that I lost...?

I was stunned, and a young man with dark green hair in the distance walked slowly into the arena.

Echizen Ryoma took the racket with no expression on his face.

The opponent is Fuji Yuta.

I looked at the names on the playlist.

... not two?

Ryoma is preparing, and he will play first in singles.

I blinked outside the net, and he turned his head, as if he saw me after looking around, his amber eyes fixed on him.

I was about to look away, but out of the corner of my eye I saw him turning his wrist and walking this way.

I:"?"

Echizen Ryoma approached, and we looked at each other through the net. He held down his hat and bent down to pick up the tennis ball on the ground.

Did you come here to pick up the ball...

Ryoma straightened up, kicked the tennis ball in his hand, and said proudly, "Look at me winning."

I was stunned: "Oh... oh."

He curled his lips and turned around without hesitation.

I can't help touching my face.

Is it because the frustrated expression is too obvious...?

No time to think, the game begins.

Dazzling tennis balls.

My eyes followed the tennis ball, and after a while I looked at the sweat streaming down Ryoma's cheek, which slowly dripped to the ground.

...It seems that I am not very good at thinking. In short, when the cheers of the people around me sounded, I realized that I had won.

After Long Ma left the field, he didn't come over in a hurry, but sat on the stool in the field to wipe his sweat.

The next match will be between Senior Fuji and that...Guan Yue?

I watched their game in a daze.

...Isn't this a slap?By the way, senior, this ball looks terrible...

"Saint Rudolph lost."

"Qingxue won, as expected."

I listened to their discussion, holding the sun umbrella in my hand, and playing with it.

"What are you standing there for?"

When the people dispersed, they heard a familiar voice.

I turned my head, and Ryoma was standing not far away with his backpack on his back, his blue and white coat was open, and Amber Tong was staring at me with a proud smile.

"The game is over, I have to catch the bus back." Seeing that I didn't speak, he said calmly, "Hurry up."

I was inexplicably happy, and laughed: "To be honest, will you enter the national competition?"

"Of course." Ryoma didn't hesitate at all, as simple as asking what to have for breakfast, "They are still far behind."

"Eh—" I just thought of this question, "Ryoma, are you going to become a professional tennis player in the future?"

Longma glanced at me, chuckled lightly, and said, "I thought you knew."

"Now I know." I slipped my hand, and the sun umbrella fell to the ground, but I didn't care, I ran to him, wanted to hug him, and jumped into his arms.

I hugged his shoulder and laughed out loud: "Congratulations—!"

Ryoma had no choice but to put his hand on my thigh, and took a few steps back.

Ryoma stopped and looked up: "Are you really a koala?"

"No, I thought you were able to hug him, and I thought you would fall." I lowered my head, because my legs were clamped around his waist, which meant that the weight of the whole person was in his hands, and Ryoma still couldn't help but Changed color.

As expected of the sports department.

I looked at him, Ryoma's ears turned red, but his expression didn't change: "It's still far away."

There are some calluses on the palms of the lower thighs, which are hot and itchy at the same time.

I was about to speak when my nose sniffed, but the cap blocked me, so I took off his baseball cap.

"Hey……"

I leaned closer to his neck and sniffed, hesitantly said: "An illusion, Ryoma, you smell, it's not the smell of sweat, it's another..."

I speak slowly, because the smell in my nose seems to be beyond description in words, whether it's a scent or a bad smell... I can't say it anyway.

Before I finished speaking, the hands on my legs were suddenly released as if they were hot, and I was forced to wrap my arms around his shoulders and land.

I supported him to stand still, startled: "...what are you doing!"

I move my legs.

And it slipped down by rubbing against his coat, what's the matter with the pain in the inner thigh...

"...It's time to go." Ryoma didn't say much, looked away, didn't look at me, passed me to pick up the sun umbrella on the ground at will, put it up, and turned back.

He paused, pursed his lips, and explained, "Maybe I can't catch up."

I reluctantly accepted this reason: "Okay... let's go, let's go."

I hid under the umbrella and put a baseball cap on his head by the way.

Me: "By the way, I have a ticket for the drama club, do you want to come on the weekend?"

Echizen Ryoma: "Yes."

I excitedly said: "Remember to take a picture for me!"

Ryoma tilted his head: "Isn't it a mushroom?"

I shook my head and said seriously, "Mushroom is also an actor."

The corners of Long Ma's lips curled up: "You really... Forget it, I know."
