Disclaimer: I do not own the Prince of Tennis. If I did, Sakuno would be his princess. LOL. Forgive me and my corny jokes. AHAH.

Synopsis: A series of oneshots centering on RyoSaku and the myths of Ryoma's certain attitudes. First up,

Myth #1: How Ryoma Echizen hates sweets.

"Sakuno's packed lunch?" Tomoya, a friend and classmate of both Sakuno and Ryoma said in awe, looking closer into Ryoma's packed lunch, much to the latter's disdain.

"Hai." Sakuno smiled, pulling out a bentou of her own. The young man with brown hair grinned at her in reply.

"Nice." He said with a cheer in his voice. Noticing a little brownie at the corner of the lunch box, his eyes perked up. "You hate sweets, right Echizen?"

"Hn?" Ryoma hummed in question, turning his head to face the guy. And before he knew it, Tomoya had snatched the brownie from the bentou Sakuno prepared for him.

"I'll be taking this." He grinned cheekily before popping the piece of baked bread into his mouth. "Yum!"

Ryoma's mouth twitched.

"You like it, Tomoya-kun?" Sakuno asked in interest, the tip of her chopsticks were still lingering next to her mouth.

"Yeah! Tastes amazing!" He cheered. Sakuno smiled to him in reply, saying.

"Would you want some? For Valentines, I mean. People have been asking for some for quite a long while now."

"Really?" Tomoya grinned. Sakuno nodded, taking another scoop of rice from her obentou. "Awesome!" He cheered. Then, turning to Ryoma, he asked. "You eating that shrimp?"

Ryoma simply glared at him in reply. Tomoya backed off in an instant, leaving Sakuno and him to eat in peace.

"Why do you have to give out chocolates to a bunch of guys tomorrow?" Ryoma asked with a frown on his face as he and Sakuno walked home later that day. Sakuno turned to him, raising a questioning brow at him.

"Well, they've been asking for sweets for a long time now." She mused. "Wouldn't it be weird if I gave out a bunch of sweets on a regular day?" She told him more than asked.

"Wouldn't it be weirder if you gave chocolates to a bunch of guys at the holiday where chocolates equates to a confession?" Ryoma lashed back, giving her an annoyed glare. Sakuno simply frowned at him in reply.

"It would but… I've already promised them."

Ryoma could only sigh.

"As usual, you still have a long way to go." He said grimly for her, shaking his head in disbelief.

"It doesn't matter though, since I won't be giving out any to my crush." Sakuno said, suddenly reddening. Ryoma could only raise a brow at her.

"TMI?"

Sakuno puffed red.

"Sorry." She mumbled timidly, following behind Ryoma.

"Ryuzaki-chan gave you chocolates?" A voice murmered along the corridors. "Do you think she gives to girls too?"

"Yeah, Hanamiya-san was given a bundle." Another voice said in answer, holding out his bag of delights. "Want some?"

The girl immediately nodded, stuffing her hand into the bag. After popping a chocolate into her mouth, she cried and said.

"Heaven!"

The young lad, who was so unfortunate as to hear this, frowned as he made his way to his club room with his tennis gears in tow.

"Oi! Ochibi! Sakuno's sweets just arrived! Come on!" Momoshiro yelled from the changing room. Ryoma's eyes perked up in an instant. Dropping his equipment by the benches, he walked towards the paper bag in Eiji's hold. The redhead called their names one by one.

"Momo-chin! This one's for you!" He grinned, handing out the box of chocolates and other mouth-watering delights. "Oh, here's mine."

"Oishi!" He called. "There you go!"

"Arai-chin!"

"Thanks!" Arai smiled, taking his own box. Immediately, he sat by the benches and started popping the tarts into his mouth hungrily. The mouths of the onlookers watered at the sight.

"And the last box!" Eiji called out, much to the whole party's display.

"Echizen's, for sure." A voice mumbled grimly. Shaking his head, Eiji's brows raised in question, reading the name on the box.

"Horio-chin?" He said out loud. Horio hollered before walking up to take his price. Ryoma, though, stepped right in front of him much to his chagrin. The young lad had just stopped him from approaching the box containing Sakuno's chocolates.

"Echizen?" Horio said, halting in front of the ebony-haired young man still wearing his school uniform.

"Give it to me." Ryoma muttered with a frown. Horio raised his brows at him.

"No way! I ordered that!"

Ryoma deadpanned.

"Ordered?"

"Yeah! Kind off, I mean, I asked for it!" Horio yelled. "I could give you some if you really want a taste, but only if you ask nicely." He frowned at Ryoma before brushing him aside to proclaim his goodie bag.

"And Horio claims the last box!" Eiji yelled, grinning cheekily at Ryoma in particular. The young man glared back at him before turning back into the changing rooms.

"Oi, Echizen!" Ryoma turned his head to find Tomoya beside him. "I was looking for you." The brunette said. "I think Sakuno wanted to give something to you."

Ryoma's eyes lit up.

"She's in the classroom." He grinned, slapping Ryoma on the shoulder before heading off. A familiar bag of delights were on his hold. Not wasting any more time, Ryoma started walking towards the class he shared with the doe-eyed brunette with a skip on every step. Upon arriving at his destination, he looked around for the brunette.

"Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno called out from a corner of the room. Ryoma turned and walked towards her nonchalantly.

"You were looking for me?" Ryoma asked aloofly. He could swear that he could already taste those sugary delights.

"Hai." Sakuno smiled at him before turning to get her bag. "I was wondering where you were." She started, pulling out something from her bag. Ryoma waited in anticipation as he kept his eyes on her.

Chocolates. Chocolates. His brain couldn't help but cry.

"Lunch time's almost out,"

Chocolates.

"And you forgot your lunch." The brunette finished, naively placing an obentou box into the flabbergasted young lad in front of her.

No… Chocolates?

"Are you okay, Ryoma-kun?"

Ryoma deadpanned in front of her.

"Yeah." He managed to grunt, lifelessly falling to his seat next to her. Sakuno's worried eyes followed his disgruntled figure as he opened her home-made lunch box.

"Ittadakimasu." He mumbled under his breath before digging in. At least he had her lunch boxes, he thought to himself bitterly.

Later on that day, Sakuno caught up to Ryoma who was headed home. Trudging next to him, the brunette smiled in greeting.

"Neh, Ryoma-kun." She started. Ryoma grunted at her in question, trying to remain contented with the lunch box she made for him. "I-I have a leftover box of chocolates, I know you don't like sweets and all but I was wondering if you would have them. I mean, not for you, because you don't like sweets. Ah well, you can give it to Nanako-san, or your parents. Or Karupin, ah! No, no. Ano, not Karupin... he might die."

"Ryoma-kun?" Sakuno said in question, spinning around to find that Ryoma had stopped a few steps before her. And as usual, his face was unreadable. "I-I could give it to someone else, so." She laughed lightly. "You don't have to force yourself."

"I'll have it." Ryoma finally answered as he held out a hand in front of the flustered brunette. Sakuno smiled at him before shuffling through her bag, not noticing the pink hue creeping into the young man's cheeks.

"Here." Sakuno finally said, giving a box of chocolates to Ryoma.

"Thanks." He said before opening the box in front of her and taking a piece. After popping it into his mouth, his eyes lit up as he drowned in the flavor. "It's delicious!" He couldn't help but blurt out. Sakuno flushed in an instant, her heart flipping along with it.

"Thanks." She smiled at him. "Ah!" She suddenly gasped. Ryoma had just popped another piece of chocolate into his mouth. "You don't have to force yourself!"

"I'm not forcing anything." He uttered almost incoherently because of the food melting in his mouth. Sakuno's eyes eased in realization.

"So, you do like sweets." She said with a dashing smile before turning around to continue walking, Ryoma in tow. Behind her, the ebony haired young man shook his head, taking another chocolate from the box.

"Nah, only yours."

A/N: Thanks for reading! If you liked it, feel free to review. :) I'll be updating if you do! :D

You can help me out by giving out characteristics of Ryoma you think are false or a myth created by authors based on the original story AND your own perspective on how Ryoma should act. :-bd

It was only when Ryoma stepped into his house, proceeding to dispose the empty box of chocolates, that he realized something more vital than the chocolates themselves were amiss.

And the longer he thought about it, the wider his eyes got by every second.

Sakuno had told him that she wouldn't be giving chocolates to her crush. In short, she gave some to him. Then that just meant that-

FUCKING DAMNATION.

Suddenly, Ryoma felt like puking.
