"talking"
'thought'
Today was a day where love and magic were in the air. Why? Because it was February 14th, it was Valentine's Day. Everyone in the college was talking excitedly about it except for our Oujisama. Echizen Ryoma was not one to believe in love or magic. Why again? It was for me and him to know and you to guess. Haha, just kidding, the answer would be revealed soon.
Besides Valentine's Day, there was also another reason why everyone (or should I say all female population in that said college) was excited about this day. It was the birthday of top five coolest guys in the college, Ohtori Choutarou. The top five coolest guys? Well. Other school has F4, so it was common for one of the most famous colleges in the country to have its own G5 (a.k.a. Geniuses 5) right? Who were the G5? They were Atobe Keigo, Fuji Syusuuke, Sengoku Kiyosumi, Ohtori Choutarou and finally the ochibi of the group, Echizen Ryoma. 1
"Ryoma 2, do you remember about the party tonight? Mum and the others miss you a lot," Ohtori said to Ryoma during their lunch break.
"Hn… Ne, Choutarou 2? Are you going home straight right after school or planning to go out with Shishido-san 3?" Ryoma smirked at the last comment.
Ohtori blushed at the mentioned of Shishido's name, "I'm going home straight after school, why?"
"Iie, I'm going back with you after school. By the way, where are the others?"
"They are 'horded' by the fan girls, so I don't think they'll be joining us for lunch."
"Speaking about fan girls, why aren't you surrounded by those fangirls? You are the birthday boy, right?" Ryoma asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Don't just talk about me, what about you? I don't see you surrounded by any of those fangirls."
Ryoma shrugged, "Anything is always better than all the fan girls surrounding me, isn't it?"
"Yea, I guess you're right. Those girls are scary."
"I'm going back to class," Ryoma said packing up his lunchbox.
"Hn. See you after school at the gate."
"Hai."
Just as Ryoma thought that none of his fangirls would be bothering him today, Sakuno had to come up to him. Sakuno, he could not help but found her rather annoying. Whenever he went, you could find her tailing him and every time she spoke, the only word he got from her was 'Ryoma-kun'.
"Ryoma-kun…ano…I…" Sakuno said, her face blushing at the sight of Ryoma, her eyes looking at the floor which seemed to look rather interesting and her hands holding a box of nicely wrapped present.
Ryoma waited for her to talk, finally after waiting for a few minutes and still the only words he heard was 'Ryoma-kun', he snapped.
"Could you hurry up and get on with it already? I'm in a rather bad mood now, so stop wasting my time."
The next thing Ryoma knew, Sakuno had already ran away crying "Ryoma-kun no Baka".
'Che. Girls are annoying,' Ryoma thought and he proceeding back to his classroom.
After school, Ryoma waited for Ohtori at the gate as promised. As he waited for Ohtori, lots of couples passed by him.
'What is so great about Valentine's Day? Love and magic are nothing but lies,' Ryoma thought. 'If love and magic do exist, he would have at least called me years ago, telling me he's fine. He would not have gone for three long years without any news and he would have been by my side now.'
After years of waiting for the news of his first love and praying for him to be back, he was getting tired of it and slowly, he began to believe that if love and magic did exist, the sun would be rising from the west.
"…ma…Ryoma!" Ryoma was brought back to reality when he heard his name being called. He looked up and saw a worried Ohtori.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Are you thinking of him again?" Ohtori asked and this question caught Ryoma off guard.
"Iie, let's go," Ryoma said hurriedly, trying to avoid the previous question and they began their journey to Ohtori's home.
Their journey home was spent in silence, with Ohtori checking on the younger boys occasionally. While Ryoma was back to his own thought. 'Maybe he has gotten himself a new girlfriend or boyfriend; even so he could have called and told me in person.'
Soon, they reached Ohtori's house. "Tadaima!" Ohtori said as he stepped into the house followed by Ryoma.
"Okaerinasai! Ah! Ryoma you're here, haven't seen you in a long time. How are your parents?" Ohtori's mother, Ayako 4, asked.
"Oyaji to Kaa-san are fine, they're still living in the states, together with Ryoga," Ryoma said, his voice softened. He had always liked Ayako baa-san, she was really kind to him and she doted on him as much as she doted on Ohtori, unlike his parents who were always busy with something else and Ryoga basically bullied him whenever they met.
"You're living alone? Choutarou, why didn't you tell me?" Ayako frowned, hearing her favorite nephew living alone.
"Don't worry, Ayako baa-san, I'm living in the school campus with Kikumaru-senpai," Ryoma smiled, feeling the warmth inside his heart that there was at least one soul that really cared about him.
"You should have moved in with us. Anyway, do you want to eat something?" Ayako asked, still worried about Ryoma, living in the school campus with no one taking good care of him.
"Iie, I'm a bit tired, I think I'll take a nap instead."
"Okay! Choutarou could you bring Ryoma to your room, I still need to do some preparation for the party tonight."
"Hai."
Ohtori brought Ryoma to his room, and told him that he would wake him up before the party started.
As Ryoma was sleeping, he dreamt about the past. The very first time he found out about his feelings for Tezuka, and unexpectedly Tezuka was the first one to confess. Their first date, the first time they kissed and their very first time 5. He also remembered the day when Tezuka was leaving, the last few words he had said, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon and I promised to either call you or send you e-mails." Unconsciously, Ryoma shed his tears. All those 'calls' and 'e-mails' were all lies, after all these years he didn't even receive a single bloody message and he was really tired of waiting.
Soon, Ohtori's birthday party started, Ryoma had changed into a simple white tux that Ayako picked for him. Ryoma preferred wearing the clothes that Ayako picked to his mother's. Mainly because Ayako had better taste than his mother and Ayako had a better idea of what type of clothes that suited him better.
When Ryoma found Ohtori in the ballroom, he was talking to the other members of the G5 gang and some of his senpais. When he walked towards them Sengoku was the first to regard him.
"Wow! Lucky! I get to see Ryoma-kun in tux. You look great, BABE!" teased Sengoku. Ryoma gave him a glare and if looks could kill, Sengoku would be dead by now.
"Saa… I have to agree with Sengo-chan 6, you really look great. If I'm not dating Saeki, I would go for you." Fuji said teasingly.
"I can hear that Fuji," Saeki said from afar.
"Don't tease Fuji-senpai. By right shouldn't Choutarou be the one who is being teased instead? It's his birthday after all," Ryoma said in-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"Hey! I know it's my birthday, but that doesn't mean I have to be teased by you guys." complaint Ohtori.
"You guys are childish." Atobe said suddenly.
"Yea and you are also a childish one to befriend with a bunch of childish teens," Ryoma said sarcastically.
"Why you…" Ryoma smirked when Atobe could not find any word to counter. Fuji, Ohtori and Sengoku all laughed (as for Fuji, chuckled), it was always hilarious to see a speechless Atobe.
"By the way, where's Shishido-san? I don't see him anywhere," Ryoma asked Ohtori, looking around for the sign of Shishido.
"He's bringing a friend along, so he'll be late." Ohtori said, wondering why the sudden concern.
"You're his boyfriend, and today is your birthday but he's going to be late just for that friend of his?" Ryoma widened his eyes, couldn't believe what he had just heard, "What is so great about that friend anyway?"
"You'll see when he's here," Ohtori said, eyeing Fuji knowingly at the corner of his eyes and Fuji nodded, luckily for them this went unnoticed by boy wonder.
As the guest increased constantly, Ryoma began feeling a bit stuffy, so he decided to go to the balcony to get some fresh air. When he reached the balcony, everything was calm and smoothing, the wind was blowing gently against his face and he felt relax. His mood was getting much better than earlier at school. He was enjoying so much that he failed to notice someone had walked up to him, until the person spoke.
"You're still the same, aren't you? Prefer quietness to noise and crowd."
Ryoma snapped open his eyes and stood frozen on the spot. He knew the voice too well, the voice that had been hunting him in his dreams, the voice that spoke all those sweet words to him… he knew it too well even after all these years. Up till now, it still sent shiver down to his spine when he heard it.
"It's none of your business and who are you to interfere anyway?" Ryoma said, not daring to face the person that he had dreamt so much to be by his side all these years.
After a few minutes of silence and Ryoma still had not get an answer, he began to ponder, 'Was he upset or had he gone already?'
"Tezuka?" turning his head, he was then met with a pair of hazel eyes that had attracted his soul back then and now it still did.
"Hmm…who am I to interfere… let's see," Tezuka went closer to Ryoma and slipped an arm around Ryoma's waist, "Because I'm your ex-captain, your friend and your lover?"
"Okay! I understand the ex-captain part, but friend and lover? Who are you kidding?" Ryoma yelled. "All these years, I've been waiting for your calls and mails. What did I get? Nothing, absolutely nothing."
"Ryoma…" Tezuka said and raised his hand to touch Ryoma's face.
"Don't 'Ryoma' me." Ryoma shouted and swatted Tezuka's hand away.
"Look, I …" before Tezuka could finish what he wanted to say, Ryoma cut him off.
"You don't understand. I've been waiting everyday for three damn years for your news. You said you will call me and send me mails, but in the end I get nothing. I'm really tired of this, Tezuka. If I keep on waiting for you I will never be able to move on," with that said Ryoma decided to walk back to the ballroom.
Before Ryoma could go any further, he was pulled back by Tezuka and the next thing he knew, he was lost in the kiss and the teasing of Tezuka's tongue against his. Slowly, Ryoma began to give in to the kiss and respond back with the same fierceness. All these years of longing and desire were shown in that one kiss. After a few minutes, Tezuka broke the kiss to give them a chance to breathe.
"So…will you give me a chance to explain?" panted Tezuka.
"What kind of explanation you will give?" Ryoma whispered, not willing to look into Tezuka's eyes.
Tezuka had Ryoma in his arms. "Look, I know it was my fault for not keeping my promise to give you a call or send you mails, but it's not that I didn't want to, it's just that I couldn't."
"You couldn't? What do you mean by you couldn't? All…"
"Listen," Tezuka tightened his hug on Ryoma, "Please, let me finish first. I know this may sound absurd, but please believe me. I got into a car accident the very first day I reached England. After that I was in coma for two years. My parents were too worried about me to inform you about the accident and I had to spend the last year to remember everything and get use to my life."
"You could have at least sent me a message telling me what happened; instead you chose to make me wait," Ryoma said, his tears threatening to drop.
"I'm sorry! I really do, but I love you Ryoma. I really love you. That is why I was scared to tell you about the accident. So will you forgive me?" Hearing these words, Ryoma shed his tears.
"Kunimitsu, I love you too. I'm really sorry for yelling at you minutes ago. How's your injury? Is it okay now?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. I would not have appeared in front of you if I have not recovered yet," Tezuka smiled. "Let's get back inside, they are worried for you."
When they went into the ballroom, Ohtori saw Ryoma's stained face and worried. He went up to him and comforted his cousin. While Tezuka walked towards Fuji and company.
"Saa… Tezuka did you tell him?" asked Fuji.
"Yes, I've told him about the accident, why?"
"Unya! Tezuka no baka. Fuji is asking you whether you proposed Ochibi 7 already?" exclaimed Eiji.
"Eiji!" said Oishi.
"I don't think now it's the right time to propose him, besides he was angry with me. How do you think he will react if I propose suddenly?"
"Whatever that is, my advice to you is, you better propose him now before someone else does," stressed Atobe.
"You know, Kei-chan is right. Recently, Ryoma has a lot of suitors. You better hurry or you'll turn out to be unlucky," Sengoku added on to what Atobe said.
Sighed, Tezuka went over to Ryoma. This short distance seemed to take forever. During this 'journey' Tezuka pondered, 'Will he agree? Or will he reject it?' Although Tezuka did not wish to admit it, he was really nervous. Yes, Tezuka Kunimitsu was nervous. Soon enough (?), he reached his 'destination'.
"Ryoma," called Tezuka.
Ryoma turned around and was faced with a kneeling Tezuka, hands holding a jewelry box and inside laid a simple white gold ring, with his and Tezuka's name engraved on it.
"From now on, every guest in this ballroom shall be my witnesses," Tezuka paused for a while… "I, Tezuka Kunimitsu, am going to propose Echizen Ryoma. Will you be my first, my only and my last to live with for eternity? I promised to love you and only you no matter where you are and who you are."
"Wow, go Tezuka!"
"Nice one."
"Today is your birthday, yet they have stolen your limelight," Shishido whispered to Ohtori.
"At least Ryoma no need to worry now, since Tezuka-san is back," Ohtori whispered back
"Heh… I know why don't we steal their limelight on Echizen's birthday?" Shishido teased.
"Shishido-san!" Ohtori blushed a deep red.
Ryoma was really embarrassed when Tezuka proposed him; thus, the only wise word he came up with was, "Mada mada dane."
"So will you marry me?" Tezuka asked again.
"Say 'yes' Ochibi!"
"Nod your head already, Echizen!"
"Saa… if you don't say 'yes' now, someone else will."
With all the cheering around, Ryoma finally nodded his head. Although Tezuka saw that Ryoma had nodded his head, he could not help not to tease Ryoma for a while.
"What did you say?" Tezuka asked innocently.
"I say 'yes' already," Tezuka smiled and put the ring on Ryoma's ring finger.
"Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him…" could be heard from the guests. In front of all the witnesses, Tezuka showered Ryoma with passionate kisses.
Echizen Ryoma did not believe in love or Valentine's Day magic, but just for today, he decided that love and magic might really exist.
Owari.
Explanations:
1--- Basically, this is an AU fic (which means alternate universe), so Atobe, Fuji, Sengoku, Ohtori, Ryoma and some of the characters study in the same school. Shishido studies in a different school from Ryoma and the gang.
2--- As I said this is an AU, so in this fic, Ryoma and Ohtori are cousins and it's normal for cousins to call each other by their first name.
3--- Shishido studies in a different school from Ryoma and the gang. Ryoma knows Shishido eventually, because he is Ohtori's cousin and they are the G5.
4--- Just a random name, cause I don't know the name of Ohtori's mother.
5--- You know what I meant, if not the word is "s"
6--- They are best friends so it's normal to call their friends by their nickname
7--- Again this is an AU, in this AU, yaoi is very common, and they are even allowed to get marry.
