(Ryoma Echizen x male! reader)

Requested by : sakuraanimewitch

Your coach intended to make a practice match between your school and Seigaku in a week. The name of that school somehow rings the bell. Maybe someone you know goes to that school. Possibly a tennis player too. Hmm.. who is it? You tried recalling the name as you don't remember but you still recognize his facial features.

Ry- Ryo- Ryoka? Ryota? Ah! Its Ryoma! Ryoma Echizen!

You were so excited about it you told a teammate of yours about him. Ryoma was a childhood friend of yours. The reason you got into tennis is because of him. He liked to talk about it and sometimes play with you when you two were little. One of your teammates said that people call him 'Prince'.

He must have been really good to have a title like that. The thought of having a practice match with him made you pumped up for it.

"I'll be facing you soon after a long time, Ryoma-kun," you whispered to yourself.

A week later, the day of the practice match has come. As your team lined up at the court, waiting for the Seigaku members to come. As you saw the bus outside the gates stopped and players coming out from it, you kept an eye for Ryoma. Although he might have changed througout the years. You couldn't even remember when was the last time you met him.

One by one, the students got out and the last person to step out was Ryoma. You were somewhat happy to see him. Judging by his looks, he changed slightly but not too much when it comes to his height.

Soon, both your school and Seigaku lined up before having the match. Fate has brought both of you together for the practice match. You ended up competing with your childhood friend in singles after a very long time.

"Its been a long time huh Ryoma?"

"It has indeed. I hope to have a good match with you today after all these years, [name]. Don't chicken out like before alright?"

"Don't worry I'll make you go all out against me," you held out your right hand for a handshake.

Ryoma shook your hands and proceeded to his side of the court while you went to yours. The game started.

-Time skip until the end of the match-

You were panting due to the fatigue feeling inside. Sitting on the bench you looked down, "I lost to him again since we last played a few years back," you muttered.

A sudden cold sensation was then placed on your head, making you shocked. Immediately, you looked up to see Ryoma with a cold isotonic beverage in his hand.
"At least you did well, [name]. Eventhough you did not get what you hoped for, we were neck to neck during the last game for the final set," he handed over the drink to you.

"Heh. In the end you won anyways. But, the next time we play again, I will be the one who will be defeating you."

"And I will be looking forward to that. I'm sure we will cross paths and meet up again anytime soon so you gotta be ready," he chuckled.

"You have my word, Prince."
