"FUJIKO!!"

"FUJI!!!"

"FUJI-SENPAI!!"

Tezuka turned around in alarm when he heard the regulars yell, his eyes widened when he saw Fuji drop his racket before falling on the ground. "Fuji!" he exclaimed before rushing towards the tensai, reaching him just in time to catch him before he hit the ground.

"I'll take him to the infirmary. Oishi, I'm leaving you in charge." he told his vice captain who nodded at him in confirmation. Without another word, Tezuka carried the unconscious player out of the courts.

Fuji slowly opened his eyes and realized that he wasn't in the court anymore. He groaned as he tried sit up, only to feel a hand on his shoulder that prevented him to do so. "Lie back down, Fuji. The nurse said that you fainted due to exhaustion. "

He recognized the voice and smiled automatically. "I'm surprised that you're the one whose here, Tezuka." he said, "But I feel better now, you should go back to practice." he said.

Tezuka simply stared at him and stated, "Oishi can take care of them while I'm gone."

Fuji blinked at him, "Are you sure about that?" he asked, "I think it would be better if you just head back."

Tezuka glared at him, "Oishi and the other regulars can take care of themselves. While you..." he said before grabbing the tensai by the wrist which caused the other to wince.

Fuji tried to pull his arm away but failed. He sighed heavily, "It's nothing serious. It'll be okay in a few days. Besides, it doesn't affect the way I play since it's my left wrist." he said.

Tezuka released the tensai's hand and leaned back a bit on the chair he was sitting on. "You should watch out for yourself and not just others."

Fuji chuckled, "What's this, buchou? You're actually worried about me?" he teased which caused the other to frown.

"I worry that this might be the cause of you not going all out against an opponent in a game. That would bring the moral of the team down." The captain answered.

"Is that so..." Fuji said offhandedly as he closed his eyes, smile still on his lips. "Don't worry. A little injury like this won't--" he was cut off when he felt Tezuka take his hand again, more gently than he had done before. His eyes snapped open as he looked at Tezuka who placed the others hand on his cheek.

"T-tezuka?" Fuji managed to say and the captain surprised him even more as his cold gaze turned into something more warm.

"I worry about you...Syusuke." Tezuka said quietly. Fuji's gaze softened, "I'm sorry for making you worry, Kunimitsu." he answered.

They held each others gaze for a moment before Tezuka leaned forward to capture the tensai's lips in a chaste kiss.

Fuji smiled at him, a smile more genuine than before. "I'll try to take better care of myself."

"Don't try. Do it." Tezuka said firmly which caused Fuji to chuckle.

"Hai...buchou"
