Fill: Team Grandstand, T
501 words
The sun beat down on the crowds gathered at the starting line of the Interhigh, and the tension and excitement in the air were almost palpable. Teshima felt them especially strongly, and to him, their weight was stifling. The previous year, he had watched Kinjou lead the team to victory. Now, Kinjou was watching from the sidelines, and Teshima was determined not to let him or the team down. It had been his dream to ride with Aoyagi in the Interhigh, and his dream had finally been granted.
As they walked their bikes to the starting line, Teshima looked out at the sea of faces watching them. Everyone's eyes followed them as they passed. They were the defending champions, wearing the single-digit numbers, and everyone's eyes were on them.
Near the back of the pack, from teams whose only goal was to make it through all three days, the looks were mainly looks of awe. As the neared the front though, the looks became more calculating, teams sizing them up and already starting to plan how best to challenge them.
They didn't have Makishima's height this year, or Tadokoro's size, or Kinjou's presence, and Teshima could tell those who wondered if the two small third-years leading the team this year could ever live up to the greats of the year before.
"I'm nervous, Hajime," Teshima admitted as they passed yet another team that towered over them, and Aoyagi grinned at hearing his given name roll off of Teshima's tongue for the first time. Aoyagi's hand closed over his on his handlebars, the two kanji visible side by side.
"Certain victory," Aoyagi said quietly, squeezing Teshima's hand. Teshima smiled back back gratefully. "Team of Two," he finished.
Eventually, they made it to their starting position at the front of the pack, and as Teshima looked out at the sea of faces watching them, he tried to turn that energy into excitement rather than nervousness. He started to put on his helmet, but his fingers were shaking with adrenaline, and he fumbled with the straps.
Before he could try a second time, Aoyagi pushed his hands aside and took over, adjusting everything carefully until the helmet fit snugly over Teshima's unruly curls.
Then, without warning, Aoyagi pulled him into a long kiss.
"Hajime," Teshima said thickly when they finally broke apart.
Aoyagi didn't answer immediately. He raised Teshima's hand to his mouth, pressing his lips deliberately to the character written on the glove. "Captain," he said, never breaking eye contact.
Teshima felt as if his heart was about to beat right out of his chest. There, in front of the entire crowd gathered for the Interhigh, Aoyagi had kissed him in public for the first time. And as he looked out and saw Makishima wiping away tears, and Tadokoro beaming like a proud parent, and Onoda looking as if his favorite anime had just come to life, he knew that, no matter how they placed, it was going to be a good race.
