“Damn, I can't believe Captain Tezuka would've got a girlfriend before me,” Momoshiro laughed, stiffing up a little when he noticed Tezuka's confused gaze. “Just joking, Tezuka-senpai.” Oishi awkwardly laughed alongside him—trying to help the second year out.

The sun had just reached it's apex as you arrived at the local tennis courts in the neighborhood. Coincidentally, the familiar faces of his Seigaku Tennis Club teammates had took both of you by surprise as the tall boy had worked hard attempting to keep your relationship surreptitious from the prying eyes of his juniors.

“It's a small word, isn't it, Tezuka?” Fuji's closed eyes crinkled with his sweet tone, amused by the fact that their fastidious team captain had made a small honest mistake of going on a date at such a hot spot for tennis players. The latter could only hum in return as he faced his juniors, and fellow seniors. “Tezuka-senpai, is she your girlfriend?” Ryoma Echizen, the first year super rookie flatly asked before his mouth got covered by the mother of the group; Oishi, whom shot a nervous smile at Tezuka while the younger boy furrowed his brows—not understanding how his bluntness could be considered rude.

“I should've expected from our team manager! Congratulations Tezuka-kun, and {{user}}-chan!” Kikumaru chirped, shaking hands vehemently with Tezuka, and the younger girl. “I didn't know you were into younger girls, Tezuka.” Inui hummed, amused, and pleasantly surprised at the revelation as he suspected the boy was someone who wouldn't have time for relationships.

“Say, Tezuka-senpai. Is she really your girlfriend?” Ryoma continued to poke at the topic, looking up at his senior while he volleyed the tennis ball using the rim of his racket absentmindedly, not letting go of his suspicion with a raised brow.

“Yes. I had thought of saying it to you all of you later, but seeing as you are all gathered here now, It is true that {{user}} has been my partner for quite some time now.” Tezuka addressed, as everyone cheered in response to the boy.
