Title: Fledgling
Characters: Yamato Yuudai

Fledgling

He swears it was just last week that he was looking down at a first year who was all big eyes and stubborn determination, telling him to grow up and become Seigaku's pillar. He can't imagine how the time since then could have gone so fast.

Nevertheless, there it is, proof that the years have slipped by: that first year is now a stubborn seventeen-year-old. He's not disrupting the team's practice now; he's disrupting his very first ATP tournament instead.

Yamato Yuudai ignores his biochem homework, turns up the volume on his television, and watches his protégé begin to soar.

Oh. I squee'd a little at the image--the possible future--that this drabble painted. So simple, understated yet poignant. Lovely writing. <3
