Summary: Oneshot A TezuxFuji fic, need I say more?
Save the best for last
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Who would have thought that this thing would happen? That the Tezuka Kunimitsu, Seigaku's legendary stoic tennis captain and student council president, after six long years would finally be wooed into Fuji Syuusuke's arms? After all, Tezuka was raised in a very traditional household where everything that is "not normal" is detested.
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
Fuji Syuusuke who once had been Seigaku tennis club's resident tensai had never expected for things to turn out like this. He had been content to stay by his captain's side and support him through everything.
And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Never in both teens' wildest imagination, especially Fuji, as eccentric as he was, thought that this would be happening to them, they never expected that they would be holding each other in a passionate embrace.
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
Contrary to the popular belief, Tezuka Kunimitsu had had several girlfriends. Despite his cold exterior, the captain of debate club, the vice-president of the chess club, the captain of the swimming team and several other girls who posses at least a great talent or two in one area or another had been intimately close to him.
Sometimes, the tensai can't help wondering what was wrong with his beloved. He had the most intelligent not to mention, most sought after girls in his beck and call and still he couldn't stick to any of them long enough.
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
It's odd, although he had several girls by his side; he had never shared the same interest with them. It had been Fuji, Fuji the first who noticed that his arm was injured back when they were in seventh grade. Fuji whom he first told that he would go to Germany to have his arm treated. It had always been him who Tezuka confided into and shared his interest. Only the tensai had been the constant element in the captain's life for the past six years.
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can see
Have you ever heard of: 'it had been staring straight at your face and you still don't notice it'? This phrase had hit Tezuka hard. For six years, the tensai had stayed by his side and he never once noticed the love and devotion that the tennis genius had offered to him.
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
Fuji, by the end of their third year on senior high had almost given up on Tezuka. But maybe, just maybe, the gods took pity on him and made the stoic buchou realize his love for the tensai.
Flashback:
In a hotel where the school decided to hold their graduation ball. . .
"Buchou? Can I have a word with you?"
The other boy followed the petite figure out in the deserted balcony.
Without facing his captain Fuji said, "Kunimitsu I..." then he turned around showing his cerulean eyes mirroring all the feeling he have for the brown-eyed boy, "I have loved you ever since we were in seventh grade."
An awkward silence met the honey-brown haired boy's confession. Tezuka stood frozen.
"Just forget what I've said." Fuji said before closing his eyes once more and putting his smiling mask back on as if the confession had never happened.
As Fuji walked passed by the captain, he added in a barely audible whisper, "Goodbye Tezuka..." Then a single tear fell off from his eye.
Somehow, Tezuka knew that what Fuji said would be permanent. That if he don't tell the smaller boy that he loved him too, he would lose him forever and it sent a cold shiver down his spine. With that, his body moved on its own accord.
Fuji gasped as he felt himself roughly being pulled to the other's body.
"Te-tezuka?" was all he managed to get out.
Tezuka held the genius's wrist up in the air and quickly snaked around his other arm around the tensai's waist before he let his head descend to the slighter boy's head and stopping until their noses were a hair's breadth away from each other, "I love you too, Syuusuke." Before he claimed the others lips.
The kiss was tender and passionate at the same time and said it all. No more words were needed to be spoken between the two of them; they understood what each other wanted to say.
You went and saved the best for last
"Ne, Kunimitsu..."
"Hm?"
"Do you love me?"
"Syuusuke, you're the only and the last person who would be in my heart." Tezuka pulled Fuji close to his body and whispered to him "Besides, now that your mine, I would never let you go,"
