Amethyst Fascination

One year later Kitakyushu Kawachi Fuji Garden

It was the first time for Atobe to step into this place that he had heard many times.Wandering in the quiet vine garden, looking at the purple vines hanging down like a waterfall, there is still a sad pain in the dark blue eyes that cannot fade away.

He remembered a day a year ago.

That day, when he finished his heavy business and walked out of the company as usual, he saw the figure that had haunted him for many years but never forgot.Many years passed, and the child he could only watch through the TV suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was still the familiar eyes from memory, and the cool expression was still there, which made his heart throbbing suddenly at that moment, so painful that he couldn't even say hello.

He just watched the child walk in front of him, showed him a familiar smile, and said, "Long time no see, King Monkey Mountain."

King of Monkey Mountain, that was the name the child gave him when he was young. When he heard it many years later, he still felt kind.

It turns out that time really can't change anything, such as the child's smile, such as the name, and his love for the child.At that moment, Atobe seemed to return to that summer more than ten years ago.Then, he raised his usual gorgeous smile, and responded with a low smile: "Smelly brat, it's still so annoying."

Taking the young man back to his solitary apartment, looking at the simple and bright ring on his ring finger, Atobe suppressed the pain in his heart and sat down in front of him.His eyes lingered on the delicate face that hadn't changed much for a long time, and he asked, "What's the matter for coming to see me all of a sudden?"

Atobe was sure that no matter what the child came to him for, what he most and least wanted to hear was the news that the child had separated from Yukimura.

Most hoped, of course, that since they were separated, he would have a reason to chase the kid again.

The last thing he wanted was because he knew that this child really loved Yukimura.If they were separated, he couldn't imagine how painful the child would be.He didn't want this beloved child to be hurt even a little bit.

But there is no doubt that Atobe was disappointed in the end.Because the child said to him after hesitating for a moment: "There is a Kawachi Fuji Garden in Kitakyushu. I hope you can help me buy it. The price doesn't matter, as long as you buy it."

This is the first time Atobe heard about the Kawachi Fuji Garden.So after the young man mentioned it, he immediately asked his private secretary to send relevant information.

Kitakyushu Kawachi Fuji Garden, the largest wisteria plantation in Japan, is privately owned.

Looking at the purple eyes in the documents sent by the secretary, Atobe immediately thought of Yukimura for some reason.So, he asked, "Have you never had contact with the master?"

The pair of golden cat eyes showed Atobe's familiar awkward expression, and the young man murmured in a low voice, "The master won't sell it. But I really want to buy it, and it doesn't matter if the price is doubled."

"Is it for Yukimura?" Even if you don't ask, the Real Estate Department already knew that it must be for Yukimura.As far as I can remember, the child has never asked him for any help, and the only one who can make the child let go of all his pride and come to him for help is Yukimura Seichi.

Sure enough, after Atobe raised this question, the young man's face flushed slightly, and he even looked a little uncomfortable.If it was young, Atobe was sure that the child would turn his head and leave, but this time, the young man nodded without any hesitation, and whispered: "I want to give Jingshi a wedding anniversary gift."

The hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, a bitter smile appeared in Atobe's eyes, and he lowered his head to look at the information on the table.What a big deal, even if he didn't inquire about the price of such a large vine garden, he knew how expensive it was, but the child said that it doesn't matter even if the price is double, as long as he buys it.

His heart was bleeding, but facing this child whom he had loved for more than ten years, Atobe couldn't bear it and couldn't refuse.He could only smile slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Understood, I will buy it for you."

In the following month, under the puzzled eyes of others, Atobe visited the owner of the Kawachi Fuji Garden countless times in person, exhausted all means, and finally completed their agreement before the child's wedding anniversary.

On the day when the contract was handed over to the child, Atobe's heart ached like a tear when he saw that childish smile that didn't match his age.Then, holding the child in his arms for the first and last time, he smiled and said, "Smelly brat, next time, don't ask me to do such an unglamorous thing."

Sitting under the fragrant wisteria, Atobe closed his eyes, there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but there was a little sparkle in the corner of his eyes.

He knew that even if he said that, if the child needed his help, he would definitely do his best.

Because of that child, the love of his life has been burned.He, Keigo Atobe, no longer has any spare energy to fall in love with anyone, so he is still single, stubbornly waiting for a person he will never get.

Atobe just sat quietly like this, until light footsteps and a familiar hoarse voice came from his ears: "Why don't you go in, King of Monkey Mountain."

Opening his eyes slowly, Atobe was slightly dizzy from the bright sunlight.Half-closed his dark blue eyes, he was silent for a moment and then showed his customary gorgeous smile: "I'm lost."

"You will get lost at such an age." Slightly frowning, the young man muttered softly, stretched out his hand to Atobe, and hummed softly, "Let's go, everyone is here."

Quietly looking at the slender fingers with well-defined knuckles, Atobu stretched out his fingers slightly, and grabbed the young man's hand in a clasp.Standing up, tightening his fingers little by little, seeing the young man who was displeased but not struggling, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Atobu's lips: "Let's go, show me this one, it took a lot of effort to buy it. The place."

No matter what he thought about on the way here, what Atobe never imagined was that Yukimura would appear in front of him in such a posture.

When Atobe followed the young man to the private area in the second half of the Fuji Garden, he saw Yukimura at a glance.I didn't pay attention deliberately, but among a group of well-dressed guests, Yukimura was really different.

Wearing a fitted white cotton shirt and loose white cotton trousers, he sat barefoot on a chair made of wisteria, looking at everyone with a smile.

Seeing Yukimura washing off the lead, Atobe suddenly felt that he looked like a clown in expensive and comfortable casual clothes.

"Nice to meet you, Atobe-kun." Stepping on the soft lawn, Yukimura walked slowly to Atobe.First gave the young man next to him an elegant kiss, then slightly bent his amethyst-like eyes to look at Atobe, and smiled softly: "Thank you very much for helping to buy this place, Ryoma and I both like it .”

Forcing himself not to show too much emotion, Atobe nodded indifferently, and lazily responded with his usual gorgeous voice: "It's just a little effort, don't worry about it."

"Today I just invite everyone to come and get together, please don't be restrained, just do whatever you want." Smiling at Atobe, Yukimura rubbed his lover's hair lovingly, looked at his short coat and short sleeves, slightly frowned and blamed: "Ryoma, go change your clothes, don't catch a cold."

Frowning in dissatisfaction, the young man still obediently walked towards the two-story hut not far away under Yukimura's gentle gaze.After walking a few steps, he stared back at Yukimura, and said in a rough voice, "Put on your shoes."

Except for Yukimura, no one could see jealousy from the young man's expression, which made him bend his eyes in satisfaction.Signaling Atobu to walk side by side, Yukimura first went to the wisteria trellis to put on cloth shoes, and then walked towards the crowd not far away.

"To be honest, I really envy you, Yukimura." Looking at the faces in memory with half-closed eyes, there was unspeakable bitterness in Atobe's gorgeous smile: "You can have him, but what do I have?" nothing."

With a slight pause in his footsteps, Yukimura looked back at the face that was smiling arrogantly and gorgeously, with a happy smile slightly raised on the corners of his lips. "I'm very lucky."

"Yeah, you're very lucky. I've never seen him beg for someone, but the first time he asked, it was for you." With a look of desolation in his eyes, Atobe stopped saying anything, raised his head and walked towards his former teammates.

Standing where he was, Yukimura smiled, and his amethyst phoenix eyes looked at the young man who was walking towards him.Watching him change into the same attire as his own, holding a thin knitted coat in his hand, his elegant thin lips curled up lovingly.Stretching out his hands to him, and letting each other's fingers clasp tightly, Yukimura said softly: "Ryoma, go say hello to everyone."

In the crowd, Buer squinted at the two people who were walking together, his icy blue eyes still had deep love, staring at the young man he loved deeply for a long time.Then, he left behind his former partner and went up to greet him, sending his sincere blessings: "Congratulations, Yukimura, Echizen."

"Thank you." Thanks, Yukimura looked sideways at his lover's beautiful eyes, and said softly, "Ryoma, I'll go say hello to Sanada and the others, and you can chat with everyone for a while."

Watching the figure of Yukimura going away, Buer could not restrain himself from taking a step forward, and called out in a low voice: "Ryoma." He raised his hand, trembling fingertips, and carefully stroked the young man's hair scattered on his cheeks. Looking at the golden cat's eyes with a smile, he said in a hoarse voice, "You've grown up much better, Ryoma."

"Hmm." Some moved uncomfortably, the young man stared at Fuji for a moment, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Senior Fuji is still the same, it hasn't changed much."

"That's right. Ryoma has grown up and learned to love others." With a slight smile, Fuji just stood there, staring at his beloved child with tears in his eyes.

Even though the face is still young, the heart is already old.The child in front of him has exhausted all his love, and he can no longer love anyone.

Not far away, Tezuka watched the two quietly, but couldn't move his feet no matter what.

He knew that since they couldn't help confessing to the child that year, they would never go back to the past.Although they often met on the field, the child always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, and they had nothing to say except to say hello.

"Tezuka, don't you want to say hello to Echizen?" Following Tezuka's gaze, Oishi looked at his former elementary school brother, and turned to ask his friend who was gloomy in his eyes, "Are you still unable to let go?"

Tightly pursing his lips, as if unable to face Oishi's question, Tezuka looked away.

It is no longer a question of letting go.That child has long been engraved on his heart, even if he wants to erase it, it is impossible.The only thing he can do now is to bless.

"Minister, long time no see." Just as Tezuka was in a trance, the young man had already walked in front of him.Looking up at those slightly stunned black eyes, there was a slight smile in the golden cat eyes.Raising his glass to him, the young man said softly, "Congratulations on winning the grand slam again."

After clinking glasses and drinking the full cup of bitterness, Tezuka looked deeply at those smiling cat eyes, unable to speak for a long time.At the end, he asked hoarsely, "Are you planning to leave ATP too, Echizen?"

With the departure of Yukimura and Tokugawa that year, ATP only left him and this kid.Tezuka didn't want to think about the point of leaving him alone in the ATP if the kid left too.The arm injury has troubled him for many years, and the only reason for him to persevere is this child.

Tennis was the only bond between them, and he didn't want to break even the last bond.

Slightly stunned, the young man looked at Tezuka's sad eyes, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips.Turning his eyes to the dazzling purple not far away, he squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "Jingshi hopes that I can continue to fight."

"That's good, we can still be rivals." He breathed a sigh of relief, Tezuka's tightly pursed lips curved slightly, and his eyes were relieved.

Fortunately, this bond can continue.Although he knows that there will always be an end, but if he can extend it a little longer, even if it is a day, he will go all out.

Taking a step forward, under the puzzled gaze of the young man, Tezuka lowered his head and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry, Echimae. I shouldn't have said such things, it troubled you."

Knowing what Tezuka was talking about, the young man frowned in embarrassment, and then muttered in a low voice: "What the minister said, forget it after hearing it."

Yes, I forgot after hearing it, this is what he said at the beginning.But I got the desired result, why does my heart hurt so much?Tezuka knew that he had never left anything in this child's heart, but he has loved this child so desperately for so many years, and will continue to love him.

In the distance, Sanada stood beside Yukimura, his eyes slowly moved away from Tezuka and the young man, and turned to look at Yukimura who was surrounded by his former teammates, and asked in a low voice, "What are your plans for the future, Yukimura?"

"U-17 is a very good place, I think I will continue to stay." With amethyst-like eyes and a slight smile, Yukimura looked up at his beloved child, and his gentle voice was full of love: "When Ryoma retires Yes, we'll live here."

"Then, I wish you happiness." With a sincere smile in his condensed black eyes, Sanada looked with him in a blink of an eye to the child who had left traces in his heart, and now thinking of it still makes his heart throb, and sent blessings.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Yukimura nodded his thanks, and walked slowly towards the figure who was walking towards him quickly.The amethyst-like eyes are full of deep love, facing the pair of golden cat eyes shining dazzlingly in the sun, and slightly opening his arms.

Happiness has long been in the palm of your hand.

What he wants is to go on with his beloved child in the years to come and grow old together.

finally:

The serialization, which lasted for more than two months, finally came to an end today.I don't know why, when I finished writing this ending, a very old song "The Most Romantic Thing" repeatedly appeared in my mind.

The most romantic thing i can think of

just grow old with you

Collecting bits and pieces of laughter along the way

Let's sit in a rocking chair and talk slowly

The most romantic thing i can think of

just grow old with you

Until we're too old to go anywhere

You still regard me as a treasure in the palm of your hand
