[Prince of Tennis / Tezuka X Fuji] Tender Years to Come

The perpetually aloof, snow-lotus-like captain has fallen for a boy so arrogant he thinks the world of himself??!!

The team members say: After all these years, we've eaten our fill of one-sided romance dog food. At least the boy is too oblivious to notice…

But things seem to be getting a little strange??!

Ryoma: "Captain, I think I have some strange feelings for you."

Tezuka: "Mm. I accept."

Ryoma: "…I haven't even said what they are yet."

Tezuka: "Then let me say it instead."

I like you.

That's all.

I like you so much that I'll give you all the tenderness I have for the rest of my life.

Note:

The story takes place after Seishun High wins the National Tournament for the second time. Seishun High is my own creation. Set after the New Prince of Tennis training camp. I'm not good at writing matches, so this is mostly everyday life.

There will be Momo and An. Apart from Tezuka and Ryoma, all other relationships are friendships. This isn't a BL world, thanks.

What? You say there aren't enough Tezuka and Ryoma stories?

I'll carry the Tezuka and Ryoma banner myself!!

I started writing this because the analysis posts by the forum regulars were incredible!

Mostly from the Little Prince's point of view. At first, Tezuka is the only one in love, but the Little Prince doesn't notice [at all]. Then Ryoma realizes he has feelings for him and thinks he's the only one in love, so he gets all troubled. So cute /// HE!

Ryoma is overpowered, but be warned: this is a one-on-one pairing. It probably won't be very long. If someone gives me another story idea, maybe I'll write something else.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Tezuka and Ryoma, Tezuka and Ryoma, Tezuka and Ryoma! I'm cheering for you!!
