PoT: Mirror Writing: Ripple

Fic post from my archive.

Ripple

The day after the events of "Twist", Ryouma tries to sort out his thoughts. Drama With Slight Romance, I-3

Ryouma snorted a laugh. If he ever admitted to Momo that his protective streak made Ryouma feel better, he'd be doomed. Probably for life. Momo would never again believe Ryouma was serious when he grumbled or swatted Momo away.

*nods vigorously* I always kind of wonder whether Ryuuzaki-sensei is disappointed by Nanjirou. I mean, she loves seeing the boys go to their limits, and it kind of seems like Nanjirou never quite did...

i get the feeling she's...resigned. like, she doesn't agree with what he did, but then again she's NEVER managed to control him. what he needed was for someone to whup his ass in tennis, but that just never happened (or at least not fast enough.) i'd bet she'd be the first to be pleased if she saw ryoma surpass him, though.

i wonder if anyone has ever written an AU fic where nanjiroh doesn't quit, or any nanjiroh-centric fic at all. *ponders*
