Disclaimer: I claim to own them and then I found myself regretting what I said since it was a taboo to even say one claims them when Konomi Takeshi-sensei's the only one who does.

A/N: AU multi-chaptered~ I was challenged to write something…(x-lithium, if you're reading, it's because of your demands that I've racked my brains to write something AU…XD) It's just the beginning right now…but I hope you'll find this chapter…okay. I've only written this today, in an awe-inspired sudden moment. Okay~ Read on!

To Intoxicate, To Submit, To Fixate

Sweet Intoxication: First Part

Tezuka had never met the person the whole student body of his new university was buzzing about. He'd only transferred for the new semester only a week ago due to some reasons of his family despite him complaining about it, and he kept hearing the name 'Fuji Syusuke' around. Not that he minded, of course, it was just a curiosity thing since the mantra of his name is echoed among the hallways of the vast university.

So he went on with his days, particularly busy ones since he was trying to catch up some of the things he missed and adjusted to the new surrounding, the curiosity of who Fuji Syusuke is slipped from his mind.

It was until he heard the name again, not within the busy walls of the university, but on the hallways of the hotel he currently moved in, that he remembered it again.

He was making his way to his suite when he passed two men not a few years older than him, saying casually, "…that Fuji Syusuke, right? The one who just had his exhibit? Ah, right, the company's dropping hints on that pretty boy; they wanted to hire him immediately after he graduates…"

"I hear he's living here…" The voices of the two men trailed off as they stepped inside the elevator, and Tezuka made his way to his suite, reveling on the fact that that well-known student is residing in the same hotel as he is, but wondering if he would by chance, see him here.

And then he remembered he had no idea who that person was and what he looks like.

Well, so much for putting much thought to it. Tezuka finally located his suite and went inside, his mind now back to the tasks he still had to tackle.

---

Resisting the urge to yawn, Tezuka locked his suite and pocketed his keys and went off to the direction of the elevator. Pressing the down button, he waited for floor twelve to descend to the ninth.

The elevator door opened. Inside, there were only two people. A woman, with her chin held up high, and was tapping her foot impatiently, as if she were in a hurry to work. Tezuka watched her eye the other person next to her and Tezuka followed her gaze and it fell to a pair of intense vivid blue eyes owned by a young man that Tezuka knew was about his age, a slightly haughty and amused smile adorning his lips with his head tilted and arm leaning on the elevator's wall.

Tezuka stepped in and turned his back on the openly-staring-at-him guy. He made to press ground floor but the said button was already been pressed earlier on.

"Hi."

Obviously knowing that the surprisingly melodious voice belonged to the other guy and not the uptight woman next to him, he glanced at his shoulder and nodded curtly on the boy.

The boy was smiling at him, now his back resting on the wall to face Tezuka. "Going to the university?"

Tezuka nodded.

"Saa, I haven't seen your face there yet, are you new?"

Again, Tezuka nodded, this time surveying the latter with a scrutinizing look. He hasn't seen that person yet, and judging from the looks, the get-up and the confidence, he must be pretty popular.

A hand was offered for Tezuka to shake. "I'm Fuji Syusuke by the way. Nice to meet you."

Grasping the hand briefly, Tezuka replied, "Tezuka Kunimitsu. Nice to meet you to, Fuji-kun." So, he was the Fuji Syusuke, the campus' well-spoken and regarded guy. No wonder he was too eye-catching to begin with.

The door of the elevator opened, and they went out. The woman surprisingly disappeared without him noticing. So it leaves him to walk with Fuji, who from his periphery was strutting with a smile that made people turn to look at him. Tezuka suddenly want to shrink from the latter's limelight, since, much to his chagrin; he was receiving some as well. And he hated receiving that much attention.

"Tezuka, so, what year are you?" It seems stares that have the capacity to bore holes had no effect on Fuji anymore. He was not the least bit conscious.

"Third Year."

Fuji stared fleetingly at him again before saying, "Here I am thinking we're the same year. I'm in Second Year majoring Photography."

"Ah, I'm majoring Business Ad."

"Isn't it hard to switch schools just like that? Won't it be hard on your part?"

Tezuka felt uncomfortable being asked questions after questions like this but he still answered, "It's my family's decision."

Fuji didn't pry on but instead remained silent, occasionally smiling and waving at random people that greeted him as they neared the campus. Tezuka made to trudge a different way but Fuji's voice halted him.

"Tezuka, let's talk again sometime, okay?"

It was such an irresistible smile that Tezuka couldn't decline. He nodded, now aware of how students were stealthily listening to their conversation.

"Great! I'll see you then Tezuka. Ja!"

Tezuka couldn't believe how far his first meeting with the popular guy of the school went. It was weird enough that whispers ensued after their little talk, but when Tezuka heard one of the students pass and whispered to his friend about Fuji actually talking to an unknown newbie when he would tend not to do so, gave Tezuka one of the weirdest feeling he'd never had the chance to feel before.

A/N: It's the only AU scenario I could think of now, so sorry if it's not that good. I'm still on the look-out for new ideas…this was supposed to be a three shot, but since I'm tired of writing long ones…(my story, Roses, for example) I stuck with chopping it off bit by bit. The ratings might go up to M… (Will go up, I think. Since the submission part is going to have some smut…) I'll just inform you guys. Leave me some reviews~ some dose of encouragement is what I desperately need. Sankyuu~
