Third Wheel
Title: Unconditional Love
Rating: PG
Characters: One sided Yukimura Seiichi x Sanada Genichirou and Kirihara Akaya
Summary: Akaya couldn't believe his fukubuchou could be this dense.
‘Bad news sure travel fast,’ the Rikkai Dai Tennis Club captain thought.
The day after his confession, the whole team was extra careful around him. If it hadn't happened to him personally, he might even laugh it off. But…
“Buchou, how can you look fukubuchou in the eye as though nothing happened?”
“Patience, Akaya.”
There it was again. The you-will-understand-when-you-grow-older-tone that shut Kirihara up at once.
“But Niou-senpai told me that fukubuchou rejected you!”
“And you believe the Trickster?” Yukimura had on the little mysterious smile on his lips that scared Kirihara a little. He had no clue to how his beloved buchou’s mind worked.
“Besides, Genichirou rejects everyone.”
“But you’re Yukimura buchou! You’re not everyone!”
Yukimura couldn’t help but smile at his youngest regular’s obvious idolization. Kirihara was still too young to understand the complexities of relationships.
“Akaya, love is a funny thing,” Yukimura returned his attention to the practice match between Sanada and Yanagi. The stoic vice-captain seemed unnaturally disturbed, missing simple shots while Yanagi had the easy upper hand.
“The line between love and hate is very thin. If one is not careful, it can evolve into something ugly.”
“But buchou is not capable of anything ugly!”
With kind eyes and a sad smile, Yukimura faced his petulant kouhai. “Akaya, if Genichirou cannot learn to love me more than a friend, then friends it is.”
"Then fukubuchou is a stupid…” The junior spat.
Kirihara felt an indignant rage rise in him as he watched those gentle teal orbs falter. Yukimura brushed it off gently.
"Break time is over. Your practice match with Jackal is long overdue.”
As Kirihara stalked off glaring at his fukubuchou, he made a vow. One day, he will crush the 'Emperor.' So that one day, buchou will finally see him for himself.
He may not understand but he knew if he had the chance, he would never make buchou smile like that. Even if it killed him, he was determined to see the light return to buchou's eyes.
Little did Kirihara know that his buchou's love was unconditional.
