On to the story

During lunch break Tezuka went to the rooftop in order to think, and to avoid his friends who would probably force him to help them look for their wayward freshman prodigy.

He knew they had good intentions, they were all worried about Echizen speacially since he stopped contacting them, and finding out that he had been back since at least the begining of the school year only made them even more concerned.

None of the regulars had been able to concentrate during morning practice and Tezuka had been forced to finish 10 min earlier because they wanted to see if they could catch Echizen before the begining of classes. Needless to say that didnt work and they were now trying to find him.

Tezuka was more worried about what their former coach was going to tell them, what happened to Echizen that made him stop all contact with them and hide the fact that he was back.

Opening the door to the rooftop Tezuka was surprised to find that someone was already there, and not just someone but the boy His friends were looking for, Echizen Ryoma.

The boy was laying on the floor his ever present cap over his face hiding his eyes from the Sun. He seemed to be sleeping so Tezuka walked closer examining him.

It has been almost 3 years since he last saw Echizen but the boy didnt seem to have changed much, he seemed shorter than Fuji who was the shortest among them. Tezuka kneeled beside him and carefully, as to not wake him, removed the cap hiding his face.

His breath got caught on his throat when seeing Echizen's face after 3 years. To be honest he hadnt changed much, lost baby fat and his features became a little more sharper, but he was still the most beautiful person Tezuka has ever seen.

Slowly he caressed Echizen's face with his hand, ran his fingers through the boys soft hair, leaned to softly whisper on his ears and left a small kiss on his forehead before standing up and leaving the rooftop again.

He didnt notice Echizen standing up, a shocked expression on his face while the three words Tezuka whispered kept being repeated on his head.

"I missed you"
