ep 162, "golden pair memories"
okay, i'm like 10 seconds into episode 162 and the golden pair are already holding hands. i have a feeling i'm going to like this one. ♥:) and... :X OH YES. oh my god. this is SO CUTE. they're already in love on like the second day of acquaintance. AND ALREADY HAVING SPATS! gaaah. how can they fit that much schmoop into one episode! it's like a whole romance novel in twenty minutes! öaklsjfdöfas.
see? hand-holding in the (approximately) first ten seconds. and it only gets BETTER (by which we mean GAYER) from there, because this is tenipuri.
ryoma's reaction: "where are they going in such a hurry? there's no time for a quickie before school... even if kikumaru-senpai DOES have really fast reflexes..."
eiji drags oishi to the Dumpster of Love, which is their special place to sit together and enjoy the sunset. it's going to be moved! eiji is distressed and oishi is plunged into nostalgia. prepare for the flashback cam of schmoop.
eiji, somewhat prophetically and in a glorious display of symbolism, runs into oishi and knocks his doubles how-to book out of his hand and almost over a cliff, then dives across the street under the railing and rescues it in midair. he bounces up to give it to oishi, and their eyes meet for the first time as their hands close around the book.
eiji: doubles, huh? are you in the seigaku tennis club?
oishi: uh - you're pretty - i mean - what?
eiji [grabs oishi's wrist to look at his watch.]: whoops, i'm late. see you soon!
oishi: soon...?
in fact, he sees him at tennis practise that day.
yamato-buchou: this is kikumaru eiji-kun. he's new.
eiji: hi! i'm twelve, 6th grade, sagittarius, blood type something, let's see, i like cats and eating and bouncing all over the place, i have a mom and a dad and a grandpa and two older sisters and two older brothers and a parakeet and my favourite colour is -
yamato-buchou: whoa there, thanks for sharing.
[everyone laughs]
eiji: hey! it's that cute boy! [bounces up and down excitedly, waving, while everyone stares at oishi, who blushes.]
they meet in the clubroom and eiji vibrates excitedly all over in a very friendly manner and eventually introduces himself, while oishi stares and stammers and is generally overwhelmed.
and can't decide if he's irritated or turned on.
but the next day at practise, the other freshmen are gossipping about oishi because he's a suck-up. then eiji watches oishi inadvertently piss off a senpai and asks to talk to him and tries to suggest oishi's social skills need some help.
oishi is embarrassed and baffled and kind of hurt. he is overly formal.
eiji yells at him.
oishi scowls and they part at odds! their first spat, and oishi hasn't even decided if he's in love yet!
but the next day oishi gets picked to play in an inter-school tournament and he has to stop to angst about whether he is worthy (his opinion: no), so...
...he runs into eiji on his way out without seeing where he's going...
...but he just responds by looking even sadder and brushing past, and...
...eiji's like, "wtf?"
since he didn't get chosen, he challenges oishi to a singles match...
...which oishi wins, surprising everyone (including eiji and himself) except for yamato-buchou.
also, during the match eiji inadvertently kindles oishi's soul and makes him realise how much he loves tennis again. and turns him on.
so then when oishi appears, doing solitary practise against the dumpster which eiji is napping on, eiji is impressed and friendly again.
he hops down.
eiji: wow! you're so good!
oishi: no, you're better!
eiji: no, you're great!
oishi: no, you're the most perfect thing i've ever seen and i think you may be my soulmate, and also, your acrobatic tennis is so hot!
eiji: i'm sorry about before.
oishi forgives him and eiji proceeds to give the most utterly charming artless shy, glowing grin of love ever.
that's definitely oishi's opinion anyway. look, everyone, it is the canonical first time oishi goes all soft-focused and shining-eyed with love for eiji.
so then eiji's adorably shy.
and then he nervously asks, in a rush, if oishi will play doubles with him.
oishi can only dumbly repeat what eiji has said, his heart swelling with incredulous hope.
yes, oishi! you really could be that lucky!
oishi says "but you..."
and eiji mistakes his hesitation for reluctance. how far from the truth!
"i'm not good enough, after all?" he says, with a brave little tiny smile, and these irresistably vulnerable eyebrow wrinkles.
oishi goes with his instincts. he knows the best thing that ever happened to him when he feels it. "yes!" he says! "let's do it!"
eiji leaps up onto the dumpster and helps oishi up after him and they have the first of many heart-to-hearts that are probably way too private and soulmatey for us to eavesdrop on. :X
back out of the sunset-saturated land of flashbacks, we see oishi smiling gratefully and recalling that they went there to talk after every match they lost. he says they don't need the dumpster anymore.
eiji: are you breaking up with me?
but oishi just explains that, on the contrary, they won't need to go to there because they will never lose anymore.
which seems like a good plan to eiji.

Also, every time we repeat adjectives in Japanese class I get the giggles, because "oishii" is the word for tasty and that's just so true :D
