[Prince of Tennis] Grant Me Three Thousand Blossoms and Moonlit Nights

That photograph, that smiling face, the years never buried by dust. Your profile gradually came into focus, dazzling as a blaze of light. Shoulder to shoulder, crossing the zebra crossing, walking together through rainy days. Those fragments, that boy, brought to life a summer with no ending. Time does not dwell, and the seasons flow on. In that moment when you lifted your head, let time turn and the years run aground. May you always be that boy, your smile lingering tenderly. Every word and every phrase stays the same: your gentle eyes. You are right before me, and I silently tell myself to look forward to the day we stand side by side, with me beside you. [May time slow down, as youthful brows and eyes turn on the Yokosuka coast. I look closely at you, boy, as you stride alone beneath the heavens. You walk slowly to the song, undefeated, your serene smile turning countless fleeting moments into something bright. Before my song ends, you have already smiled your way through every quiet joy.] -- By Huang Xiaoqi. This story is dedicated to the people we love and the glorious years of our youth.
