FOR YOU (1/2)

boldface - conversation on the other phone line.

"Here."

Fuji blinked. "What it is?" Shiraishi's hands were still encasing Fuji's fist. Something cold was in his palm.

Shiraishi smiled and retracted his hands.

Fuji warily opened his fist slowly. His eyes widened as he saw the object that Shiraishi put in his hands. He looked back up at Shiraishi's smiling face. "This is…"

"Yeah. Do you like it?"

Fuji fingered the cold object with great fascination. "Why?"

"A gift of reconciliation."

Fuji stayed silent as he examined the object on hand.

"I didn't mean to make you cry." Fuji seemed to ignore that statement, but Shiraishi continued on. "I'm sorry."

Fuji sighed and looked at the coffee store across the street. He remembered that fateful match with Shiraishi. It was his first loss in an official match and he couldn't help but cried in disappointment.

Shiraishi eyed Fuji with adoration. "Do you like it?"

Fuji looked back down at the object. He said softly. "How did you know?"

Shiraishi smiled and picked up the object from Fuji's hand. "Here, let me put this on for you." He opened the lock and looped the silver gold necklace around Fuji's slender neck.

Fuji fingered the charm, which was a bear with a stone in the middle, on the necklace.

"You named one of your moves Higuma Otoshi, so I thought you'd like the bear on this necklace." Shiraishi said as he hooked the two ends of the chain together. He pulled back after he was done. "It looks nice on you. I hope I picked out the right tint of blue as your eyes."

A smile slowly stretched across Fuji's face. "It's close."

"I'm glad."

"Thank you."

In the midst of their talk, 2 inconspicuous people were nearby eavesdropping.

"Shiraishi gave Fuji a necklace today after school."

"Who?"

"Shitenhoji's Shiraishi Kuranosuke."

"…I see."

"So, you'll be back tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then."

The next day when he attended class, almost every one noticed Fuji's new possession.

"Whoah, where did you buy that Fuji-kun?" A female classmate pointed to the necklace around Fuji's neck.

"This?" Fuji fingered the bear as he smiled brightly. "Someone gave this to me."

"You must be very special to that someone to have received this." The girl pouted.

"Why?" Fuji asked in confusion.

"It's really expensive. I saw it on displayed at White diamond's New Arrival and asked my boyfriend to buy it for me, but he refused, saying it is too expensive. It's around 27,000 yen."

"Really?"

The girl nodded with an envious face.

"That is expensive." Fuji touched the bear thoughtfully.

By the end of the day, almost everyone who saw the necklace commented how beautiful and elegant it looked around Fuji's neck. As a result, Fuji almost felt special in Shiraishi's eyes.

After tennis practice ended, the team walked home together. When the team turned the corner on the block where Fuji's house resided, they stopped and gaped all together except Fuji, who was bedazzled at the sight before them.

There was a huge black truck in front of his house and a sleek black limo in front of it.

"I never knew you are so rich, Fuji-sempai!" Momoshiro exclaimed.

Fuji's eyebrow rose in amusement. "Neither do I." He resumed walking and the rest followed him.

"Kaa-san!" Fuji called out when he reached the gate of his house.

A few seconds later, instead of seeing his mother, an unexpected person walked out flamboyantly. "Welcome home, Fuji."

Fuji frowned and crossed his arms across his chest. He hated this person. "What are you doing here, Atobe?"

Atobe chuckled deeply and stopped in front of Fuji with his arms crossed as well. "Visit you of course."

"There's no need. You may go home now." Fuji made a move to walk pass the Monkey King, but Atobe grabbed his wrist. Fuji turned and glared at Atobe.

"Don't touch me." Fuji yanked his arm back from the loose hold.

Despite the unwanted aura, Atobe smiled confidently as if to jeer the petite Tensai. "I have something for you."

"I don't want it." Fuji responded defiantly.

Atobe chuckled again and snapped his fingers in a smooth motion. "Make you judgment after you see what I have for you."

Seeing how Fuji's glare showed no interest, Atobe sighed and physically turned Fuji's body toward the big black truck. "You'll like it, trust me."

The back door of the truck opened slowly. Before he saw what was inside, he saw the flabbergasted look on his teammates' face that told him something in the truck must be very awesome to strike those reactions. Fuji's curiosity rose up a notch as he anticipated this so-called thing that Atobe wanted to give him.

Fuji's eyes widened when a giant green gummy wrapped in a giant plastic bag appeared.

Atobe took pleasure in looking at Fuji's incredulous face as the latter blinked his eyes a few times.

"Is it what I think it is?"

"Oh yeah. 98% Wasabi content in a 50 lbs. and 7 feet Gummy Bear made from the Midwest." Atobe informed him. "Only the best place on earth."

Fuji's smiled grew bigger as the gummy bear neared him. "Wow." He made a circle around the green object. "Really?"

"Of course." Atobe boasted. "People with high-profile don't lie."

Suddenly, Fuji flung his arms around the jiggly candy and he laughed softly. "Is it really for me?"

Atobe grinned, showing his rows of pearly white teeth. "Who else can handle this much Wasabi besides you?"

Fuji nodded in agreement.

Atobe stood beside Fuji. "I knew you'd like it." He smirked haughtily.

"I guess you are right for once." Fuji grinned back and squeezed the bear. "I'm going to keep this to myself!"

Fuji happily pushed the bear into the house, and Atobe followed him. Half way across, Fuji stopped and turned around. "Since you're done giving this to me, you can leave."

"What?" Atobe blinked.

"You know. You can go home now." Fuji rolled his eyes.

"Don't I get a thank-you gift? Like a kiss or something?"

Fuji raised his eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"At least of word of thank you."

Fuji crossed his arms. "Well, since you injured Tezuka's arm, I'll accept this as a reconciliation gift." With that he turned around and continued pushing the bear into the house.

Only after when the door closed did Atobe chuckled. "I see how it is."

The forgotten members stood with envious as they watched the limo and truck drove away.

"Hello."

"I'm back."

"Good thing you called."

"…What is it this time?"

"Do you remember Atobe?"

A scoff.

"I guess you do. Anyways, he came to Fuji's house and just left."

"What for?"

"He brought a giant—when I said giant, I meant huge, humongous, colossal…anyways—gummy bear for Fuji, wasabi flavored. By the look on his face, he loves it very much, possibly more than what he got from Shiraishi yesterday."

An annoyed sigh.

"You need to think of something better or Fuji is going to get wooed before you get the chance."

"I know…My mom's here. Bye."
