Title: Tennis Teens for Charity, 1/8
Author: Stormy1x2 (traveling_storm)
Word count: 5,000 (total word count hovering around the 40,000 mark)
Pairings: Kirihara/Kamio (established), lots of other pairings hinted at, some more strongly than others, but mostly you see what you wanna see. ^^
Summary: In an effort to make the youth of today respectable and responsible citizens of the future, the Education Ministry of Japan passes a rule requiring all graduates to complete a number of volunteer hours or fund-raising projects for the charity/organization of their choice. When Kamio comes face to face with a problem he can't fix by himself, tennis players from across Kanto rally to help one of their own.
Notes: Could not have been accomplished without the fantastic help of lucathia_rykatu who has been beta-ing like a mad beta-ing thing, suggesting word choice alternatives, reminding me to add this and remove that, and providing me with information about parts of the anime I haven’t seen yet so the fic blends somewhat closer to canon. I asked for a beta and I received a true partner. Thanks so much!

If he tried to explain to eight-year-old Miki that she was going to go deaf (and of course, having to try and explain exactly what that entailed), he was going to burst into tears before he could make her understand. )
Feedback greatly appreciated, loved and adored. :D
