My Teammates are Idiots

July, 19th

Zaizen Hikaru, the only 2nd grade regular of Shitenhouji Chuu tennis team and soon to be captain, always thought that his team mates were idiots. They were indeed very kind and caring people, but they were also idiots.

However, he had never thought that they were that idiots…

On a certain day, he headed to the clubhouse, just like usual, before the afternoon practice.

He opened the door. It was really dark inside. It was strange. Usually the room was quite bright even without the lamp because of the sunlight that went through the window. He looked to the window; it was somehow blocked by something. Being a bit anxious to find out what the thing covered the window was, he approached the window.

He was in the middle of his steps from the door to the window when the door suddenly shut and locked.

'What the?'

It was pitch black now. He could see nothing.

…

…

…

"SURPRISE!"

The light turned on. Now he could see everything clearly. The room was decorated with colorful balloons and ribbons. On the wall, there was a big banner with HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIKARU. A big cake and a dozen cans of Ponta on a table in the middle of the room. And the last but not least was he could see his teammates stood around him, cheering.

"Happy birthday!" They cheered in unison then started to sing happy birthday song.

Zaizen could only blinked seeing them, speechless.

"Look! Hikaru is too surprised to speak!" Kenya laughed, pointing at his junior.

"Hikaruchan is so cute!" Koharu squealed.

"Nn, ecstasy!" Shiraishi randomly exclaimed.

Chitose smirked."Tsk tsk, it's too early to be surprised."

Each of them took out box that was warped with bright paper and ribbon. "We still have… presents!"

"Here! Open mine first!" Kenya handed his blue and white box.

Zaizen looked at Kenya, then at the box, then at Kenya again."Thanks, but…"

"Dude, don't be so shy. Ok, I'll open it for you." The Speed Star opened his own box quickly. "Ta da!" He exclaimed as he took out a pair of rollerblade.

"Rollerblade?"

"Yep! Now you can even follow my speed play on tennis." Kenya said proudly as he gave the rollerblade to Zaizen.

Kintarou bounced in excitement, his sparkling eyes pinned at the rollerblade in Zaizen's hands. "Aah, that's so cool! I want that too, Kenya!"

"But Kenya, we're not allowed to use rollerblade on court." Shiraishi remind his friend. Kenya looked at him in shocked.

He really forgot about it! Stupid him.

"Next, next!" Koharu opened a pink paper bag with heart patterns. "Here, Hikaru-chan." He handed a white towel with red HIKARU LOVE words sewed on it.

Zaizen raised a brow as he saw the words. "Err, thanks?"

Koharu squealed. "Aw,I love you, Hikaru-chan."

"What? That's adultery! Die!" Yuuji protested, as usual.

"Hikaru-chan.."Koharu ignored his boyfriend, he even tried to hug the poor Zaizen, but luckily Zaizen dodged just in time, making him bumped onto the floor in result.

Everyone sweatdropped.

"Hikaru-chan, you meanie." He sobbed.

"Koharu! Are you okay?"

"Yuu-kun…"

"Koharu…"

"Yuu-kun…"

They became closer and closer and closer and…

"Senpai, please stop."

The two looked at their junior, who had just complained.

"Okay okay. This's your day so I guess we'll do as you wish." Yuuji pushed Koharu gently away, making Koharu pout girly, so girly that made Zaizen feel sick. "Anyway Hikaru-chan, here's my present for you," He handed a harinsen warped with transparent plastic warping. "Use it wisely."

Zaizen knew that he would never ever use it.

The next was Gin's present. He handed a box to Zaizen. It was small but kind of heavy. Later the present was revealed to be a Buddha statue as Kenya forcefully opened the box. Why Buddha? Nobody knew the answer nor dare to ask Gin why.

"I also have something special for you." Now it was Chitose who handed a very heavy thing warped in green clothes. Zaizen took a peek. It was a pair of geta. From the weight, he was quite sure that they were the same with the ones Chitose usually wore.

"It's good for training, you know?" Chitose smiled as he patted Zaizen's shoulder.

"Thanks senpai, but I'd prefer to use power ankle." Zaizen replied plainly.

"My turn! My turn!" Kintarou shouted. The kid gave a package which was untidily warped in crimson. "Open it!"

The 2 grader was forced to unwrap it. He froze as he realized what Kintarou gave to him.

"Leopard… pajamas?"

"Yup. Actually my mom bought it for me a while ago. But you see, it was still too big for me. So I decided to give it to you. I'm sure it suits you well." Kintarou grinned widely, not realizing that his senpai mentally swore to himself that he would never ever wear those pajamas.

"Now it's Shiraishi's turn!" Kintarou turned to the said person. "Hurry up, Shiraishi!"

"It's not good to be overexcited, Kinchan." Shiraishi try to remind the youngest of them then he turned to Zaizen, who looked very different from Kintarou.

"First, this is from Osamu-chan," He handed a brown small box. "He said that he would treat us another nagashi soumen after practice… Oh, and this is from me." He handed another box, it was a little bigger that the previous one and it was clean white.

"Thanks, Buchou. But…"

"Don't open it now. It's some packs of bandage. I'm sure you'll need it soon. Well, at least, next year." Shiraishi added in whisper then he winked to his kouhai that was looking at him in disbelief.

The last person, Koishikawa, smiled as he handed his gray presents. "Happy birthday. Anyway, It seems that you wanna say something?"

"Wow, words from the birthday boy!" Kenya applauded, follow by the other.

Zaizen put the unopened last present on the desk. He looked at his teammates, they were all excitedly waiting for his speech. He sighed, then finally opened his mouth to speak. "Today's not my birthday. It's tomorrow."

'Really, my teammates were idiots. All of them even misremembered my birthday!'

Yeah, his birthday is actually tomorrow: July 20th. Happy early birthday Zaizen! X)
