My little brother

Sanada had just gone to refill his water bottle and was on his way back to the courts, when he bumped into something or, more accurately, someone. At first he looked around to see who had he bumped into but he didn't see anyone. He then heard some noise coming from the floor; he looked down and to his surprise he saw Tezuka junior lying on the floor. Sanada looked around, trying to find those who were supposed to look after him. He couldn't find any of them. 'Where are they? It's not good to leave a baby unattended.'

Sanada decided that he couldn't leave him here all by himself; he could hurt himself or something. He bent down to pick up Ryoma but he backed away. Sanada then sighed as he realized, 'Of course, he wouldn't let me pick him up. Who would want to be held by a stranger?' When he was done scolding himself, he crouched down next to Ryoma and sat there for a while so Ryoma got a chance to get used to him.
After fifteen minutes Ryoma seemed to have gotten more used to him. He thought if he tried to talk with him he would come with him without panicking. "Is it scary?" he asked the child. Ryoma looked up, his eyes showing confusion. "Is it scary being away from your nii-san?"

He looked down at the boy, who nodded his little head. "Do you want to be with him?" He nodded again with a sad smile. "You don't want to be alone, do you?" Ryoma shook his head. Sanada could feel a smile trying to creep onto his face; he scratched the back of his head and said, "If you don't want to stay here all by yourself, you could come with me." Ryoma looked at the bigger man; he hesitated but reached out and took his hand.

They walked out of the building and toward Rikkaidai's courts. Marui and Jackal were playing doubles against Niou and Yagyuu, Yanagi was taking notes while Yukimura was watching from the bench. The weather was nice, the sun was shining, and the wind was blowing lightly.

Kirihara saw the duo enter the court and screamed "Oi! Sanada-fukubuchou, where were you? You have been away for a while." Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Sanada. He sighed. 'I feel a headache coming' he thought as he rubbed his temple. Yukimura saw his friend getting frustrated once again. 'Typical Sanada.' He thought with a smile.

He then, registered movement behind his friends' legs, and on a closer look, he saw something holding Sanada's leg. His eyes widened when he saw who it was. "Sanada, why is Tezuka's otouto with you and not inside with his caretakers?" All heads snapped his way and then they too turned to look down at Ryoma who was hiding. Yukimura got off the bench and walked over to Sanada, when he was in front of his longtime friend, they started to talk in hushed voices.

Ryoma's POV

After he had run into the nice man, that resembled Mitsu, who offered to go with him, he thought it was scary in the beginning, but he wasn't so bad. When the big boy, had taken him to one of those green spaces where his brother usually played tennis, he saw some other boys, those he never had meet before and instantly got scared, again.

One person came up to the boy, who he was hiding behind, and they started to talk but Ryoma couldn't hear what they were talking about. It was another girl, this one had also short hair like the one at lunch but instead of brown this girl had blue wavy hair and sea blue eyes.

He stared up at her and thought that she looked quite cute. 'I wonder why she is playing with the other boys in yellow? Is she like the girl Nii-san and I sat with?'
Mitsu number two was done talking to the girl and she went out on to the big green square, while he led him over to a bench and sat him on it. "Ryoma-kun, I want you to be a good boy and sit here and wait until I'm done okay. Can you do that?"
He nodded his head in response 'Of course I can do that! I'm a big and good boy. That's what my mommy says.' he thought proudly.

He watched as the girl played the stoic man. 'They looked cool, almost like nii-san.' The boys from before sat down on the bench to watch the game, the one that sat down next to Ryoma had red hair and was chewing on bubblegum. After ten minutes of silence, the red hair thought it was enough and decided to talk to the squirt.

"So… your brother is Tezuka, Is he as stoic at home as he in school? Is he really better than buchou? How old are you? You don't look very old and you don't even look like Tezuka-san" blabbed Marui leaning in on Ryoma.

Ryoma visibly started to get scared by the new boy who took up his personal space.

"Marui-kun! If you get any closer he will start to cry." Said a stern boy with glasses.

"Nah Yagyuu, you are overreacting. Hey kid, am I scary?" he asked moving closer to Ryoma

"Oi give him some space." the brown boy told the redhead and all of them started to move towards Ryoma.

Ryoma freaked out even more. 'What to do? What to do? I don't like strangers!' he whined. He couldn't hold it any longer and for the second time that day he exploded.

Normal POV

Sanada and Yukimura stopped their match abruptly when they heard little Ryoma scream. Both ran toward their team, Sanada barked at them to get away from Ryoma. While Sanada had his hands full with the team, Yukimura decided to aid the crying baby. Ryoma was curled up on the bench; Yukimura picked him up even though Sanada had told him that he was shy and did not talk to strangers.

He picked him up carefully and rocked the little boy, trying to imitate how a mother would care for her child. "Don't worry, I'm here now. No one is going to hurt you. I'll protect you so there now, don't cry. Smile for me Ryo-chan, smile." He said to him in a warm and smooth voice. Ryoma settled down after a few minutes, he took a few deep breaths and so then he finally calmed down completely.

Ryoma loved, how the person who held him was treating him so gently and and it felt warm. 'It's kind of feels like mommy. I wonder who this is? It feels really nice." Ryoma buried his face further in the person's shoulder finding it very comfortable. He looked up at the person who carried him. It was the girl from before, the girl with blue hair and a gentle smile.

"Hi there sweetheart, are you feeling better now?"
"Um." He nodded

"Good, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Yukimura Seiichi." He said

Ryoma was checking him out. Who was she? Where did she come from? Did nii-san know her? And many more questions ran through his head.

"Hi" was all he managed to say.

"Hi there." the other answered

They stared at each other a little more. Ryoma lowered his head back on to the "girl's" shoulder again. Yukimura was disappointed that Ryoma went back to hiding himself. 'I wonder what I should do to open him up, I don't know. But I do have to say he is the cutest child I have ever seen! Tezuka, you better watch out or I might take him for myself!'

He watched him as he adjusted himself in the elder's grip, his head peeked up a little and Yukimura couldn't hold it.

"Peekaboo, I see you." He said in a singing song.
"hihihihihi." Giggled Ryoma

'OMG he giggled! He is officially the most adorable child in this universe and he likes peekaboo too.. Tezuka, sorry but I'm going to steal Ryoma. Yukimura was so happy that he was feeling like a child himself.

"Peekaboo, I see you."

"hihihihi"

And so they continued on for a while in their own little world, ignoring the weird stares they were receiving from the rest of the team. Sanada just shook his head at his childhood friend. "Genichirou, should we remind him that we are the middle of training?" asked Yanagi. They looked back at the two again. "Is it only me who can see flowers and sparkles around the two of them?" asked Akaya. Marui put his hand on Akaya's shoulder and said "No, we all can see them too"

Jackal rubbed his head and said "this is going to be a long day" *sigh*
