Better than Ice Cream [Tenipuri, SaeKiku]
title: Better than Ice Cream
author: yumeyana
genre: drama, wee bit of angst and sap
rating: pg
summary: No matter how you see it, there really is no reason for you to be together. This… this is just comfort food and nothing else.
crossposted over @ potfics, tenipuri_yaoi, and @ my fic journal quilled_dreams where it sleeps.
Author’s Notes: I was sitting through a business venture with my family when this came to mind. I had no pen and paper but I really had to write this so I used my mobile phone instead. (^^;) Anyway, this is my first for this pairing and I’ve never read works with these two paired because of certain reasons. I hope I get them ok…
Disclaimers: Tennis no Oujisama and all its characters belong to Konomi-sensei. Only the plot is mine.
Dedication: simply_kim, the challenge you gave me is finally finished. I hope it’s up to your expectations.

Better than Ice Cream
You know you shouldn’t be here anymore.
You are both too different and too alike that you often clash or cancel each other out. You constantly fight and jealousy seems to be the recurring root of all of it. You try to understand him and he does the same but some doubts are hard to erase.
You both know that this relationship started as a mere comfort from each other’s unrequited loves. The relationship you have is like how ice cream relieves your parched throat - comfort food.
No matter how you see it, there really is no reason for you to be together. This… this is just comfort food and nothing else.
Yet…
As you look at his sleeping form, you remember the old times you’ve spent laughing. The times when nothing else would matter as long as both of you are there for each other. Times when it seemed you had something better than ice cream.
You run your fingers through his soft locks, the memories just flashing before your eyes. A part of you is shouting that it is already impossible and that the heart can only pretend for a certain amount of time.
He opens his eyes, those lovely blue orbs stare at you as if you are just a mirage. And suddenly, you are paralyzed.
“Sae…”
But there is a whisper that persists and you can hear it even through the noise.
All those reasons for not staying are nothing but mere trivialities because there is one that cancels all of them out. The one reason why you should stay because this is better than ice cream.
And you realize that it’s the only reason you need.
“I love you, Eiji.”
