A/N: This is sort of a 2-chapter story half, no, one-third based on a song. As no lyrics are included and the song is just a little more than an inspiration, I'm not sure whether it's a songfic or not…Anyway, please enjoy it and review. It's my first fanfic in this style. This chapter will have Tezuka's view. Spoken words will be in italics so to create the dreamy type of mood. I have tried to make it as in character as possible, if there is any OOCness, let me know please!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own PoT.


-Tezuka

I get up slowly. The nightmare I kept having for the past few days returns to my mind. I am leaving soon. Leaving for Germany. In a few weeks' time, he'd be halfway around the globe from me. I shudder at that thought. I am leaving so many things undone. I know I'd regret for the rest of my life if I don't finish what I wanted to do. I only hope that it wasn't too late. I reach out for my clothes. It can't be too late. No, it can't be. I still have so much to do.

And I have to do it quick. And I know which one is on the top of my list.

So I'd better get to it soon.

I start to make my way to the dining room for breakfast. I stop at the entrance of the room.

Kunimitsu? Mother calls out.

I need to go. I say and I leave the house with unnecessary speed. Something tells me I need to be in school extra early today.

As I stand on the train, my gaze lost in the scene of the city, I reminisce that first meeting.

The day we met was in my Elementary school years. We met on the tennis courts of Seishun Gakuen. It was the day when Elementary pupils go for a 'taster' of Junior High. I marvelled the way the wind moved his soft brown hair. I had the urge to talk to him. I wanted to run my hand through his hair. It was that meeting that made me realise that the world wasn't just about tennis. He offered me the door to a wider world than the one I was in. I was stupid to not ask for the key. All I had to say was, Fuji, I lov–

Seishun Gakuen. We have arrived at Seishun…

I step off the train and head to the school.

The school is empty. It is very early after all. I start to turn back. And I spot the lone figure at the entrance of the school.

Fuji. I called involuntarily.

He sees me. What he does next takes me by surprise. He pulls us into the tennis courts. The place where we first met. The place that holds unfathomable amounts of memories for me.

His face becomes flushed in colour. Not soon after, tears make their way down his smooth skin.

Fuji, why are you crying?

I am confused. Could we have been thinking the same things? I call your name softly. Again.

Fuji.

It is as if I could claim him with my voice alone. I call and he respond. Time and time again, he shows me sides of himself no one has seen before. And Fuji Syuusuke is a being who unconsciously drew out my personality. He can complete me. I know that. He was what I lack. I look at his cerulean blue eyes. I searched for the thing that would fill my void. And that is Fuji.

I hand him a handkerchief and he hesitantly grabs my hand, I panic slightly, before realising something. All doubts vanish in my mind.

Kunimitsu, he addresses me by my first name, his voice so…pleasing to my ears. I smile. He did not see it. He continues in that gentle slightly husky voice of his, Remember that day? The day you asked me for a match. Ever since then, I looked for a chance to show you, not my tennis skills, but me. The Fuji Syuusuke beneath the mask, the façade. If you ask me, I'll show you. I'll show you everything. I'll show you the real me.

I pull him closer. The gap between us is no more than a few centimetres, but it seem like such a long distance.

I gently kiss his tears, willing for it to stop. It does not.

Show me. Syuusuke. Show me the real you. I whisper into his hair as I pull us into an embrace. It is an incredible wave of emotion. A tear rolls down my left cheek. It is out of joy.

I abandon my façade. My past. I throw away everything I used to mask my true self. My stern façade as the captain. My fake unfaltering will as the Pillar for Seigaku. I expose my true self for the one I love.

I won't hide either. Syuusuke.
