I love the idea of Tezuka and Ryoma being brothers. This is more of a prologue so please be patient with me.

Title: Brothers for Life

Summary: Ryoma is Tezuka Kunimitsu's younger brother. He's arrogant and cocky and he's also starting his first year at Seishun Gakuen. There's only one thought on Kunimitsu's mind. Will he survive the year?

Warning: Umm, none yet.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN PRINCE OF TENNIS.

Chapter 1

My Brother

Tezuka Kunimitsu is my brother.

The unemotional brick wall known as Tezuka is my older brother. He might as well be a rock for all I care. He never smiles, never laughs and never shows any emotion whatsoever! Sometimes I find it hard to believe we're even related.

My name is Tezuka Ryoma. If you haven't already guessed I'm Kunimitsu's younger brother. Most people describe me as an arrogant, overconfident, cocky little brat. Not that I care what people think all that much. I don't exactly know how I feel about my older brother. I definitely don't hate him, but that does not mean I like him all that much either.

For the most part both our lives revolve around tennis. Kunimitsu is the captain of his team. A lot of people respect my older brother' tennis. I also play tennis. If you ask me I'm actually really good. Not as good as my brother, but still very skilled.

Many people find it odd how my brother and I have never played a match against each other. Of course I've tried asking Kunimitsu, but for some reason he always says no. I don't know why he says that. Maybe he thinks I'm not skilled enough or something, but either way I still respect his decision. I find it funny how whenever we go out in public, people always assume Kunimitsu's my father and I his son. Kunimitsu always sets them straight though.

Ever since I remember I've always looked up to Kunimitsu as role model. I mean what's not to like? Sure he's an un-emotional brick, but he's amazing at tennis, respected by his classmates and always gets top grades. Sometimes I feel a bit jealous, but I assume that's only natural.

Even though I think of him as a role model, sometimes my brother really annoys me. He's always lecturing me about getting good grades, staying fit, being respectful, etc. Even though I bring him A's in almost all subjects and spend half my day practising tennis. I may need to work on the respectful thing, but for the most part I don't understand why he's always being so critical. When I'm studying I should be practising tennis, when I'm practising tennis he wants me to be studying. It seems like nothing I do ever pleases him.

Not only that, but he always seems busy with other people and never really hangs out with me. When we were younger we used to spend all our time together, now he's always pre-occupied with other things and never has enough time. When it's not homework it's tennis, when it's not tennis it's student council, when it's not student council it's homework!

For the most part though Kunimitsu is a good older brother. He's super over protective, which I don't understand at all. I can take of myself. He also stops mom and dad from being too tough on me. It's pretty obvious they favour him, but I can tell he feels ashamed by that and tries to make it up to me by making sure they're not too hard on me.

Tomorrow I start my first day at Seishun Gakuen. I'm quite curious to meet the people my brother always speaks so highly of. I know a few of them such as Fuji and Oishi. Fuji and I have known each other for about 2 years now. We're always pulling pranks on Kunimitsu. Oishi comes over to study sometimes, but I don't really know that much about him.

Even though I may deny it I do love my brother to a certain extent. . Even though at times we may seem to hate each other like the worst of enemies, we'll make up in the long run. He cares for me and I care for him. We are brothers after all. Brothers for life.
