Disclaimer: Prince of Tennis and Tachibana Kippei's belonged to the Mighty Konomi Takeshi. While Matsuda Saki and the cheeses are mine.
“2 minutes to New Year!” Matsuda Saki exclaimed happily as she looked at her watch.
Both Tachibana Kippei and Matsuda Saki were at rooftop on Matsuda residence. Saki’s parents were out for work and her brother spent his New Year’s Eve together with his friends. Oh, boys friendship. As for her dear aunt? Working like a crazy robot, even on this time.
“1 more minute~” She stared amusedly at the night sky. The sky was rarely clear today; some stars twinkled brightly, while the others showed their weak twinkles. The weather was cold, but the amusement and excitement of the first New Year’s Eve on the rooftop warming her up.
And of course, the presence beside her.
People said, the bigger the person is, the warmer they become, because they have a lot of fat. However traces of fat were nowhere to be seen in Tachibana Kippei’s body, for it mostly consists of muscles.
A tennis player, you know.
Saki has known this person since middle school. A long-time neighbor, shortly. It has been years since their first meeting. And this was also the first time they spent New Year’s Eve together.
As an official couple.
She blushed furiously at her thought and quickly buried her head between her knees. She had never imagined her long-time partner-in-crime would be her boyfriend. Although they had been together for long, often went out together, spent times just between them, but the thought of ‘couple’ never really crossed her mind.
Until she realized her life was plain white without him beside her.
“Oi Saki, what are you doing?” Tachibana’s voices waken her from her reverie. “It’s time already.”
“O-oh? Is it?” She looked up to her watch. It read “12.00 A.M”.
“Happy New Year, Kippei!” It has been years since she called him by his given name. But now, it felt different. It caused a lot of thump in her heart.
“Happy New Year too, Saki,” he smiled warmly. She had known that smile for years too, but why it felt so radiant now? Why it caused a slight blush on her face?
Tachibana noticed the change in her face. “Why is your face red? Are you cold?” He asked concernedly. It won’t be good if she catch cold in the New Year, he thought.
“N-nope. I’m not,” she answered quickly. “Now, time to make a wish!” She exclaimed, tried to drive away his attention from her redden face.
Both of them closed their eyes, tried to concentrate their mind into one, or some wishes they had for the year ahead. Minutes passed, Saki was the first to open her eyes. She looked at Tachibana, who still closed his eyes.
“What is your wish?” She asked after he opened his eyes. He frowned at her.
“Wishes aren’t meant to share, Saki.”
“But why can’t I know?”
“Because it will lose its magic once you tell others about that.”
Saki let out a pout. “Hmph. Okay then.” She knew she was losing, and there was no point to continue the argument.
The silence stayed there for some good minutes, until Tachibana felt a sudden weight on his right arm. He looked aside and found already sleep Saki leaned her body against his arm. A soft sound of her breath was heard.
Tachibana smiled at his girlfriend, wrapped his arm around her shoulder to bring her closer. He kissed her hair.
“If you really want to know what my wish…” he leaned closer to her ear. “…it is to be with you, forever.”
A/N: Ryoma's Futarikiri no Merry Christmas inspired me so much to write this. It could be great if you able to listen it while reading this
