I was having a great day. Really. I got through to the third round which is great. Then I got a question about my secret relationship instead of my tennis, when exiting the courts. I didn't have any idea what was happening, honestly. You can see my shocked face on live TV. Then I was shoved this article by my manager afterwards.

Yukimura Seiichi has been taken?
The prolific tennis player, currently number 6 in the world tennis rankings after a long hiatus, who is openly gay has been sighted in Japan with an unknown person, holding hands and kissing in the Botanical Gardens. This raises the question for how long has this secret relationship being going on and who exactly is this mystery man?

The article goes on for ages with speculations and interviews with people I've never really exchanged more than a few words with, but they have pictures of Shiraishi and I. Which is...exactly what I didn't need right now. Thanks a bunch, media. Here comes the hate-mail from the people who forgot I was gay and the screams of despair from the fangirls and fanboys.



Didn't we get rid of those pictures? What happened? How do I even react to this? I'm worried for you, Kura. All it means for me is a lot of annoyance and trouble, what does it mean for you? Call me. Or send a message back here.

Some days, I just want to throttle someone and let my manager deal with the consequences. The capacity of their fear of the unknown just baffles me. They'll resort to so much to keep the world in the perfect way they view it. More than anything, I wish I could throw a tennis ball at all of them and tell them to grow up. Which is all rather violent of me, but you know how frustrating it is.

I know. You tell me. Sometimes I wish I had gone pro just to still have a powerfull smash and a tennis ball within reach to shoot a hole through their head.

Oh, by the way, did you know? The M in 'manager' is the same as the M in 'masochist', so never be afraid to let them deal with your screw ups. I never am! ^__^v

Tennis balls are only good enough for dents. I'd need a cricket ball or a baseball for anything really lasting...

My manager is a lot less easy-going than yours, I suspect. Mine would have my hide, and she has an annoying shrill voice when she's angry that's impossible to block out...

[ooc: Hara is Yukimura's favourite senpai.]

You just need a really strong smash. ;)

Oh he's just used to my mishaps. At the start he always atempted to kill me, but nowadays he just sighs and offers his head for the guillotine (before biting my head off). Although, you're right, his voice isn't as shrill. xP

[ooc: Tetsuya is honored! ^^ And Yukimura can always count on tetsuya to tell him to NOT be responsible and just go for it. xD]

There's the problem of blood being difficult to wash out of tennis balls, alas.

I swear, when she's angry, she's more shrill than a vocaloid. But I think since I get into less media trouble and more 'can I kill them' trouble, she has a reason to be upset....

[ooc: Much better than Mori XD Yukimura really doesn't like Mori. But yes, sometimes he likes to debate hypotheticals]

True, but on the other hand, you'd have to get rid of it either way. Burn all the evidence!

I'm sending you a virtual pat. I believe that all your reasons for wanting to kill people are perfectly justified. Invite me when you go on your next spree? The more the merrier!

[ooc: Oh Tetsuya could sing a song about Mori xD. It's my headcanon that they were rivals and that they grew up in the same neighbourhood, so the stories would be limitless.]
