Favorite chapter in the whole freaking thing! Love these pairs but—of course—they are or else I wouldn't have chosen to write these pairings into the story. There is Perfect, Kamio/Shinji (which is very light), and Golden… kind of. But you'll have to read it to see what I mean! :) I'm uploading the first chapter of it's a Dream Live: 2nd along with this. It'll probably take longer to update because I'm still writing chapter 7 and it's only 1/3 of the way through. It is also going to be a little… serious… at parts. But that's what happens when you put Mizuki, Yuuta, and Fuji in a room together! ;D Also, I quoted a part from something (hint: Itte yoshi), who said it and what is it? Do you know?

Extra Chapter- The Pairs
The Perfect Pair
"I guess I should also go Fuji, it's been fun." He went to turn and walk away but before he could a hand on his am stopped him.
"Saa, actually, Tezuka, I wanted to talk to you about something." The buchou turned back around to see Fuji standing, eyes opened, and a small mischievous smirk on his face.
"Okay," he turned fully to face his teammate. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fuji gestured to the couch. "Please, sit," Tezuka obliged.
When the tensai made no move to start talking, Tezuka sighed. Fuji wanted to talk to him, so why was it that he wasn't talking and was instead staring at him like that? He didn't like that look in his eyes. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
What Tezuka didn't know was that this was what the shorter boy was going for. He loved watching the fifteen year old squirm, it was… amusing.
Finally, Fuji sat next to him. He just wished he didn't sit so close.
Their knees were brushing against each other's, sending shots of electricity down their spines.
The chemistry they had was unbelievable, even to themselves. They both knew this.
"This… concert from that other world has started me thinking on our relationship and just how much I value it." Fuji stated bluntly, leaning in a little too close for Tezuka's liking.
"A…aa, really?" He could swear that if his hear beat any louder, the people next door would be able to hear it.
Fuji nodded. "Really. And this made me think that maybe—just maybe—that I like you more than a friend." And slowly he innocently made his way to straddle Tezuka's hips.
Tezuka gulped as Fuji placed his (Tezuka's) hands on his hips. "I—uh," now this was completely out of character for the stoic boy. He never showed his emotions, around other people, but—for some reason—it seemed impossible not to show his emotions for Fuji.
"Call me Syuusuke."
"Eh?"
He laughed. "You called my name; Fuji, and I'm telling you to call me Syuusuke. You won't deny me that, will you?" For a second, the sadist looked mildly scared. The thought of rejection hadn't even crossed his mind.
"Aa… F—Syuusuke." A relieved smile made it's way to Fuji's lips.
"And I'll call you Kunimitsu!" The smaller boy wrapped his arms around the bespectacled teenager. He looked truly happy as he laid his head down on the firm shoulder.
Tezuka hesitantly let his arms wound their way around his friend's waist. Inwardly, Fuji squealed in happiness. He had never felt so… content and warm before.
Lifting his head from his buchou's shoulder, Fuji ordered, "Go on a date with me."
Choking, Tezuka couldn't help the expression of shock that crossed his face. "N…nani?"
Fuji shifted closer to the boy he sat on. "You heard me Kunimitsu, go on a date with me."
There must've been something wrong with his ears because Tezuka could've sworn that he had heard the words "date" and "me" in accordance to him.
"I…" he paused, looking Fuji in the eyes.
Those beautiful eyes for once looked so hopeful and innocent, like a child. There was jut no way he could say no.
He nodded. "I'll—I'll go on a date with you… Syuusuke."
He only saw a flash of the smile on Fuji's face as the tensai brought his own head down and soundly met their lips. Slowly, his eyes closed as his lips moved against Fuji's softly.
Tezuka was inexperienced in the ways of romance and kissing, but the fluttering of his heart surely meant that this was right. It just had to, because nothing that could feel this good could be wrong even in the slightest.
Their lips parted only for a second before they met again, this time with the added pleasure of Fuji's teeth on his lips.
The brunette gasped as his bottom lip was bitten and a tongue found it's way into his.
They moaned in tune and Tezuka hugged Fuji closer and tighter to him.
He vowed never to let go. This was something special.
Kamio and Shinji
When Shinji had disappeared in a bright white light, Kamio had been confused.
Of course, you would be too is you were playing a video game with your best friend and then they were suddenly just not there. It was weird, it was freaky.
It just didn't happen in normal life.
But then again, in a world completely about fourteen year olds and tennis you could practically call magic, not much was normal.
Of course, this was only the opinion of one of those said fourteen year olds.
Didn't these unlimited fourteen year olds want to grow up?
But anyways, back to the story.
Kamio had searched his house nearly for a half an hour before finally giving up and moving back down to the living room. The rhythm freak was just so confused! How had Shinji disappeared? Was it even possible?
Suddenly, there was another bright light.
The redhead fell to the ground in shock as his dark haired, mumbling friend appeared in front of him.
Shinji looked around, a little dazed. "Oh, I'm back? That's good, I was getting a little tired of those Seigaku people—"
"Seigaku?"
"—they're so bothersome, I bet they didn't believe me when I said Tachibana-san is the best captain, that might be because their captain was there but whatever, Tachibana-san is the best, you agree with me, right Kamio? I know you agree with me, everyone in Fudomine agrees with me, why wouldn't you? I don't know why you wouldn't because Tachibana-san is very caring and nice and a brilliant tennis player, he's the best and we all know this, too bad Seigaku doesn't, but enough about them, did you look for me? I hope you did because it would be kind of sad if my best friend didn't look for me when a bright light took me away right in the middle of playing that cool video that I've never played before so that I can go watch some part of some concert from another world—"
"Anther world?"
"—you don't even know how weird that is probably. Of course you don't because you weren't there but it is very weird and where did that light come from and why did it take me without my permission? That's very rude you know, person who took me by a white light without my permission. Who are you anyway?" I—"
"Shinji!" Kamio snapped his fingers, finally getting his friend's attention.
"Eh? Oh, sunmason." Shinji sat on the couch and Kamio followed.
"So, let me get this straight, you were taken by someone or something to some place where Seigaku was at and watched a part of a concert from another world?" Kamio asked slowly.
Shinji thought for a second. "Yeah, that's exactly what it was. But while I was there the Momoshiro on the concert was ordering the me on the concert around and I thought that was very impolite so I told him and then I said that only Tachibana-san and you can order me around because you two are my buchou and fukubuchou and Tachibana-san is Tachibana-san and you are you even though you sometimes take advantage of your power to be able to order me around but I don't mind because you're my best friend and its nothing that will embarrass me, just stuff that helps you out so I guess its okay, no harm done, I don't mind, besides I like you, you're my friend though I guess that Fuji guy thinks I like you more than a friend, I don't know, maybe I do? How would I know that? I've never actually liked anyone before and if I had to pick one person to like I guess it would be you but how do I know if I really do like you? Do you like me? I don't know because you've never told me so if you do or not, I…"
Kamio sighed. He was used to this but sometimes—like now—it still got on his nerves. He didn't know how someone could talk so much!
Sometimes he just wished that Shinji would shut up.
"… what's the deal with all the redheads anyway, they're like everywhere, is red hair really that popular? Of course you look great with red hair, Kamio, I really like your hair but others I—" Shinji stopped when he felt a pair of smooth lips against his own. He looked around and saw that Kamio had kissed him.
Kamio pulled back and eyed Shinji nervously. Had he really done what he thought he had just done? Had he just kissed Shinji to shut him up?
The redhead had to answer no to that. He hadn't kissed him to shut Shinji up. He kissed because he knew he wanted to.
Shinji blinked and looked at his friend in a daze. "Did you just kiss me? Why did you kiss me? I don't mind but I'm just wondering why, its nice to know why someone kissed me out of nowhere, especially if that person is my best friend so if you could tell me why you kissed me that would be a nice thing to do. Though I did like the kiss, you're lips are very soft and taste kind of sweet, I like that, did my lips taste like anyth—"
Kamio rolled his eyes and kissed him again.
The Golden Pair
Oishi and Eiji walked out of the restaurant a little while later walking the opposite way that Momo and Echizen were going.
They didn't speak. Bonding just came naturally to them without it.
So, left to their own thoughts, they thought about the concert they had watched not that long ago.
That other world sure liked to make them seem like a couple, didn't they?
Inui: The third is even cuter!
Eiji's puffed up face as he eats a spoonful of ice cream!
Oishi: Is this from that time?
"That time" sounded so much like something. Was it actually anything?
Eiji grinned at his partner.
Inui: Oishi, what was "that time"?
Oishi: No, its nothing.
Eiji placed a finger over his lips.
Oishi: It's nothing.
Why didn't that other self not want Oishi to say anything? Was he just doing that for fun, to make people wonder? Well—if so—it sure did make people wonder.
Inui: Whatever. The fourth one.
A picture of Eiji grinning at something opposite him in a booth.
Inui: Kikumaru, why are there two parfaits?
Eiji laughed and looked over at Oishi who grinned and turned away.
The crowed cheered as Fuji walked a step forward to see them both.
Eiji placed a finger over his lips again and looked at Oishi. The egghead did the same.
The redhead shooed people away from looking at him as he and his partner continued to grin.
Eiji breathed deeply, feeling his face flush, but he didn't let go of Oishi.
There was something there, there had to be.
Oishi was having the same kind of thoughts. What were these feelings he felt whenever he was around his partner? Did they mean something?
He had always thought they were only feelings of friendship, but thinking back on it, he never felt that way around Tezuka or anyone else, only Eiji.
Inui: Frightening. And the second!
The dark haired boy was looking oddly at something in the tank.
Inui: What did you discover?
Oishi hesitated.
Oishi: I think that day, in the tank, I'd found a tiny Eiji.
Said teen blinked. "You found a tiny me! Sugoi! I hope you take good care of me, nya!"
Oishi flushed.
When Eiji had said to take good care of him, Oishi had just felt some type of desire shoot through his entire body. He wanted to take care of Eiji because that was his Eiji and would forever be his.
But Eiji would only forever be his friend, that he was sure of.
The crowd went wild as Eiji got a shocked, but happy, look on his face.
Inui: I see, I see. And that would explain your facial expression in the third. It's this!
The audience went wild once more as they saw a picture of Oishi kissing the fish tank!
He had kissed the fish tank! What was that about? Was he so fond of Eiji (even a tiny Eiji) to kiss a fish tank? He must have been.
Oishi was very fond of his Eiji after all.
His Eiji.
"Oishi, you must really like Eiji to kiss a fish tank like that. It's so kawai! Maybe you should just kiss Eiji though, I'm sure it would be more pleasant."
Both boys melted to a puddle.
The egghead was positive that kissing Eiji would definitely be more pleasant, but would Eiji object to this? Probably. Eiji would never like him like that after all.
Eiji was laughing as both of them blushed.
Inui: What sort of relationship do you two have?
Eiji covered his face.
Oishi: You can't hide anything from Inui.
Inui: I already have a very good idea.
Just what was this idea that Inui—that everybody—seemed to have?
Was it what Oishi thought it was? Was it—
"Oishi," a voice broke through Oishi's thoughts. He turned and looked at the red head peering up at him curiously, a cute band-aid on his cheek. He wanted to kiss it.
"Uh, yeah?"
Eiji looked away, a red tinge to his cheeks. "I've been thinking about the concert and…" his voice trailed off.
Oh, so he was also thinking about it?
He nodded. "Me too," Eiji head shot up to look at him.
"Really?" Oishi couldn't miss the hopeful sound to his voice.
The fukubuchou looked ahead of himself. "Hai," he answered.
"So, were you also thinking about… about what Fuji said?"
Oishi didn't have to ask what he was talking about.
"Oishi, you must really like Eiji to kiss a fish tank like that. It's so kawai! Maybe you should just kiss Eiji though, I'm sure it would be more pleasant."
"…Hai…" he looked back at his partner.
Eiji looked so cute biting his lip like that and looking down at his worn shoes.
"Do you maybe want to—to try… it?" He looked back up, face expressing his nervousness.
Oishi thought for a little bit.
"It's—It's okay if you don't want to, I mean, I shouldn't have asked anyway, of course you wouldn't want to—to try it and—"
Oishi stopped walking and smiled in amusement. "Eiji," the said boy looked up, looking as if he were about to cry. "We can try it."
"Really?" he smiled. Oishi would try it!
He nodded. "Really."
Slowly, he lowered his head as Eiji tipped his forward, they were standing far enough apart so that not one other point was touching as they met lips.
Fireworks seemed to ignite around them and their eyes slowly slid close.
They thought it was over too soon.
The two parted, breathing too heavily just for a three second kiss.
"That… that was nice, nya." Eiji admitted as they started walking again.
"It was," he agreed.
At once they turned to each other. "Friends?" They laughed. "Friends."
They couldn't even admit to themselves the feelings they felts so how could they admit to each other? But—for now—friends would fine, and maybe one day they'll be more than that, but right now, being only friends was what they had to be because that was what they were. Only friends.
But still, the linked their hands and walked off.
It had been an exciting day.
