Ryouma had decided some time ago that Momoshiro Takeshi must have a teddy-bear fixation.
He had yet to discover any teddy-bears in Momo’s room, but there was still plenty of evidence. It happened about half the time their team traveled anywhere. Current case in point. Ryouma resettled his head on his rather make-shift pillow and wondered idly how quickly Inui-senpai would be able to calculate the actual frequency. Western-style beds sometimes prevented it, but not always. It depended on the circumstances.
Whenever the opportunity arose, at any rate, Ryouma would wake up to find Momo curled around him like he was some kind of oversized plushie.
Elbows in the ribs and kicks to the shins failed to dislodge Momo, or even wake him up. Eventually Ryouma had taken the philosophical approach, and decided that, if he was stuck as Momo’s teddy-bear, Momo did make a passable blanket. He was even a decent replacement pillow. And Momo’s presence at his back was familiar and comfortable. It wasn’t an unpleasant way to wake up, and when you got right down to it that was all that concerned Ryouma.
Even though Kikumaru-senpai did insist on making aren’t they cute faces at them if he happened to wake up first.
That thought made Ryouma rub his eyes and take a look around the room, as best he could at the moment. It looked like everyone else had woken up before them, today. He prodded Momo ungently.
“Momo-senpai. It’s time to get up.”
Momo mumbled something unintelligible and didn’t move.
“It’s time for breakfast. Get up.”
Momo tightened his grasp, making grumpy don’t want to noises into the curve of Ryouma’s shoulder. Ryouma sighed and thought for a minute. “I heard there was ice cream this morning,” he tried.
An inquisitive noise. That was a start.
“So you’d better hurry up, if you don’t want Fuji-senpai to put wasabi on all of it.”
That did it. There was a brief flail as Momo tried to sit up before he completely let go of Ryouma; he ended up propped on one elbow, blinking. Ryouma congratulated himself on the success of his tactic, and turned on his back so he could watch Momo run their conversation past his brain one more time. Eventually his friend looked back down at him with a rather rueful, one-sided smile.
“There isn’t actually ice cream for breakfast, is there?” he asked, with a tinge of hope to his voice nevertheless. Ryouma raised a sardonic brow at his erstwhile blanket.
“Nope.”
“Brat.” Momo ruffled his fingers through Ryouma’s hair, and Ryouma ducked.
“Cut it out,” he said, without heat. When Momo chuckled, Ryouma gave him a half-hearted glare. He didn’t actually mind that much, as long as Fuji-senpai wasn’t around.
Ryouma swore that if he ever found out who had thought it would be a good idea to gift Fuji with a stockpile of small, highly portable, disposable cameras he would make that person regret it. Fuji-senpai had actually mailed one set of pictures, taken before either Ryouma or Momo were awake, to Ryouma’s house. His dad had almost seen them! He would never have heard the end of the teasing.
Ryouma had never again doubted the rumors of Fuji Shuusuke’s sadistic streak.
Momo unfolded himself to his feet and stretched before offering Ryouma a hand up, too. Ryouma accepted it as part of their accustomed give-and-take when they were around each other in the morning. He had to admit, it was nice to have someone there to remind him where he’d put his socks, and also to have something besides the sink to slump against while he brushed his teeth. Being Momo’s alarm clock was a reasonable trade-off. He wondered, sometimes, exactly what would happen when high school ended and they all stepped off the Seishun Gakuen escalator. He thought he would miss not being around Momo like this.
Momo’s arms wrapped around him, and for just a moment he leaned back against the solid support behind him.
“Ready to go?” Momo asked.
“Mm.” Time to think about all that later.
The arms tightened and then let him go, and they set out to see what breakfast their teammates might have left them.
End
Aww. Cute! <3
(Fuji so would take pictures, too. XD)
^___^ I knew right from the start that MomoRyo would get me eventually. (I think it was Eiji who gave him the cameras, but neither of them will say for sure…)
CUTE. XDXD I can see this happening. Only small nit is when Momoshiro calls Ryoma a tease, just because I can’t hear Momo actually saying that…. Um. XD Did I already say cute? I love MomoRyo fluffiness, especially when it’s more about what close friends they are.
Also, does this mean you have given in, and will begin to write Tenipuri fic? Often and much…? *tweedles thumbs, hopeful gaze up*
*nibbles nail* Yeah, that one bit doesn’t feel quite right to me either, but my brain went on strike and refused to cough up anything else. Hopefully when I get around to final revisions I’ll think of something.
*deep sigh* Don’t know how often, but yeah, I think I’m probably in for good. *thinks* That is, almost word for word, what I said after the first FMA fic I wrote. Oh, god, I’m doomed…
DOOOOOOOooom!!
X3
And I knew I would be, which is why I made so much effort to share the joy. *wicked grin*
Doom for all! *glee*
OMG teh cuteness! That was adorable. XD
(Sorry, Hikari gave me the link. Hope you don’t mind I read it, I love MomoRyo!)
Oh, heck, I’m as much a feedback addict as the next writer. Welcome!
I really think those two are the cutest thing in the entire show, short of the chibis. I squealed madly all through the bowling.
Kyaaaaaaaa~~~~~~!!!
Ryoma: Be gentle with me.
Momo: You tease!
*snickers* ^___^
Momoryo! Momoryo!!!!!! Momoryoooooooooooooo!! *o* That was so cute! ^o^
Thankies for the cutesness!!!! *o* ^_______^
That’s pretty much how I feel about them, too, so you’re very welcome!
*pokes kerina* Ne, where’d you get the MomoRyo screenshot? *wants*
^_^ The fanfic was just kawaii and fluffy and so freakin awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww-worthy. I can actually see that happening in the canon, and I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it did.
…Do you think Fuji would sell me those pictures?
Thank you!
Fuji has refused to let go of the pictures, no matter what I bribe him with. *sigh*
Er…that’s a screenshot I took from the end of episode 137, I think… ^^;;;(When the boys are in Germany and Momo goes to hug his
loverkouhai at the end of a match against a woman wearing pink ^^)=^o^=
ehehehehehe… yes… disposable cameras… but it was so cute! momoxryo! awesomeness! (squeak)
A bit below Fuji’s usual level, to be sure, but I can see him doing it for mischief. *grin* Glad you liked!
Absolutely ADORABLE. You put the biggest smile on my face, and I love your writing style.
*blushes* Thank you!
[“There isn’t actually ice cream for breakfast, is there?” he asked, with a tinge of hope to his voice nevertheless. ]
This line really convinced me, although I liked both your Momo and Ryoma. Very sweet.
Thank you! Ah, Momo-the-bottomless-pit; gotta love him.

SQUEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[bouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebouncebou
Just so you know I’m going to be like this for the next week or however long it takes me to plow through this crack.
*grins* As it should be. MomoRyo is the cutest thing on the face of the earth.
this was an absolutely wonderful view of the two! ^.^ And I would’ve *loved* to have gotten my hands onto some of those pics… Oiya! Fuji! Darling….
*happy* Luco said her Fuji-muse had a few suggestions, but she’s mired in other work so I’m not sure if we will see them or if Fuji will keep them close and grin.
{pouts} darn… you know, it’s times like these that I realize… I should do something to get PLNun interested in Prince of Tennis… {nods}
Aw, sweet. 🙂
*grins* Even when I write angst for these two it comes out like syrup.
Oooh….niiiiice….now I am all warm and fuzzy inside. ^_^ <3 MomoRyo is teh CUTE. You’ve captured them both so well, it’s adorable. ^^
Um hi…came here from![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solitude1056‘s journal, that post about Otakon and I saw ![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravenwoodiii and realized omg, that’s Emily Ravenwood…*awe* Love your FMA fics, and am positively delighted to see you writing for PoT as well. ^^ I haven’t been into it that long myself, but I like when my favorite authors branch out into the same fandoms I’m reading. ^_^ It makes me happy. I shall have to read the rest of your PoT stuff when I get the chance…I don’t have time at the moment. gah, I need sleep….anywayz, friending your fic journal and you shall be hearing from me, eh…soon-ish. ^_^
Hey, welcome, glad to hear you liked this one! I’m actually working on more MomoRyo right now (after a substantial detour).
Ah, so you’ve fallen to tenipuri, too? It really is crack; completely railroaded my FMA fic. Though Ed-muse does seem to get along very well with Atobe-muse. *shakes head* I must admit, though, I’m having a ball writing this stuff. It’s such a great story–complex in the most wonderfully fluffy ways. Hope you enjoy the rest!
