[The Prince of Tennis/Ryoma] Cherry Blossom Snow

I once traced your likeness again and again, until everything in my eyes connected to you was etched into my life forever.

Written by Hitoshi Yukino, Year 7 of Reiwa

Later, Echizen Ryoma finally realized that the reason he loved that painting most wasn't because he liked the fleeting bloom of cherry blossoms.

It was because beneath the flower-laden trees, their petals scattered by the east wind, stood the person reflected in those eyes.

Reader's guide:

· A pampered young master manga artist x the aloof little prince in his work

· As usual, the characters are adults. A reunion after years apart. Ryoma is the top.

· A little backstory can be found in the Starry Night story.

· Any deviations from canon are my way of reconciling things I found unreasonable in the original anime. If anything bothers you, please be kind and understanding. (/ω\)
