Hello everyone! So this is a new story that I've been working on (don't worry, I haven't abandoned the old story yet) This was inspired by a movie I watched a few days ago and I just couldn't shake the idea off. My hands were itching to write this story! So this movie is called Overboard (1987) and I loved it! I just love Goldie Hawn! So here you go! enjoyyyy.

Chapter 1

"Could you please tilt your head to the left? Just a little.." Fuji adjusted the focus on his camera. "Yes, just like that, perfect." A shutter sound was heard.

"Move your hair over your shoulder- stop, keep your hand there." He bent down and took another shot as the model changed her pose like a professional. Multiple flashes and shutters were heard before it came to an end.

"Beautiful." He smiled behind the camera. He was satisfied with his work.

Fuji Syusuke has been working as a photographer in a well known magazine company for several years now. He had first started out his career in Tokyo but has since moved to Chiba, his birthplace, when he received a better job offer there.

He was startled by the vibration coming from his jeans pocket and pulled out his cell and looked at the caller ID.

"Everyone take five." Fuji instructed his crew members.

He made his way to the back of the room before answering the call.

"Fujikoooo! I missed you!" Fuji immediately pulled the phone away from his ear.

"Gosh Eiji, you're gonna turn me into a deaf man one of these days." He chuckled lightly at his best friend's antic. The two of them are 25 now, but his friend has not changed a bit since their school days. Eiji is still the same hyperactive, cheerful child as he was in high school.

"Nyaaa I'm sorry… I just missed you and I couldn't contain it! What are you doing now Fujiko?"

"'Me? I'm working with the models."

"So you're still working with them? But you're a freelance photographer. Why bother working under a company. It's not like you."

"It's no agreed with my terms and I only do this once a week. Besides, I need to feed three mouths you know."

"But Fujikooo you're already rich!"

"I enjoy working with people sometimes. Stop talking about me silly. How's your pet shop going?"

"It's fine. Someone bought the noisy parrot few days ago and I'm feeling lonely without that brat."

"Aww I love that birdie. She's always going 'fuji-ko-ko' I'll miss that stupid bird."

"Yeah me too." Eiji sounded a little sad at the end of the line. "But that's how a pet shop works."

"You still have the others to cheer you up Eiji. And you have me. Be strong!"

"Yeah, thank you." Eiji seemed to have lightened up a little. "By the way, Oishi told me something the other day. And I'm not sure whether I should tell you or not."

"Are you keeping a secret from me? That is so mean of you." Fuji faked a pout even though he knows Eiji couldn't see it.

"It's like a bad news. It's about Tezuka." Eiji sounded a little hesitant.

Fuji's eyes flew open at the mention of the name. He stood up from his seat, suddenly feeling restless.

"What about him?" He tried to sound nonchalant

"Well, urmmm yeah its- ah" It was hard for Eiji to find the right words and deliver the news to his best friend. "You know buchou is already engaged to that woman from his college right? The one with dark hair who looks like she's from the 70's?"

Hearing no response from Fuji he continued. "Well, yeah, you see Oishi told me they're gonna tie the knot soon. Umm probably on October."

Fuji could feel his heart shattering into thousands of pieces. His eyes quivered as he tried to contain the tears. He did not know what to say to Eiji.

"I'm sorry. I- um I know how you've always liked buchou but-" Eiji stammered as he tried to find words to console Fuji.

"It's okay Eiji. You don't have to comfort me. It has always been one sided from the beginning. What's the difference now." Fuji found the strength to reply.

"Sorry…" Eiji's voice sounded apologetic.

"And sooner or later I would have found out myself. It's just the matter of time."

"Fujiko you're good looking! And smart, and funny.. You can find someone better than him!"

"Thank you Eiji…"

"Umm and one more thing, that woman he's marrying is from Chiba too. Tezuka's going to Chiba to meet the woman's family to plan the wedding."

"Here in Chiba?" Fuji does not know what to feel. He should be happy that he will get the chance to meet his old friend but at the same time he is hurt knowing that Tezuka will be there for someone else.

"Yes. Maybe next week. Do you wanna see him Fujiko?"

"I-I don't know. I can't think right now. Eiji, I'll talk to you again tonight okay? I have to work."

"Sure thing Fujiko."

Fuji ended the call and held his phone to his chest. His heart hurt so much. He wiped a drop of tear that fell on his cheek. He quickly opened his email and sent a message to the person he trusted the most.

From: me

To: saeki_kojiroh

I want to see you.

A reply came in quickly. Fuji opened his mail.

From: saeki_kojiroh

To: me

Wait till my shift is over. What's wrong?

From: me

To: saeki_kojiroh

I just wanna see you...

From: saeki_kojiroh

To: me

Alright then, meet me at the usual place. 6.00 p.m

Fuji shut his phone with a snap and headed back to his work. His mood wasn't as cheerful as before. Everyone noticed something was off with the tensai but when they asked him he simply brushed it off. They didn't want to probe further, so they just let him be.

TFTF

The place where they decided to meet at is a small pub at the end of the street. It was their hangout spot. They usually meet there for drinks and small talk after a long day of work. The walls are of a variety of brown hues that glow golden from the yellow lights hanging from the rafters. The interior has a warm glow to it to have a homey feel.

Saeki arrived a little earlier than the promised time and waited for his friend wondering what got Fuji all worked up this way. Ten minutes later, Fuji walked in and pulled up the stool next to Saeki. Seeing as how Fuji did not order any drinks, Saeki did it for him instead. The two sat there in silence before Saeki found it unbearable and broke it.

"Come on Syu chan, you've been quiet for a while now. You're not expecting me to stare at you the whole night without saying anything right?" The silver haired lad looked at his friend who had been staring at his drink without touching it for a couple of minutes now.

Fuji looked up at Saeki before he turned his head away. He sighed. "I'm sorry. I suddenly don't know why I texted you." Fuji ran his hand through his hair.

Saeki sighed. The tensai is usually good at hiding his feelings, but now he could read him like an open book. "Hey, tell me what's bothering you. I'm here for you okay?"

Fuji smiled a little at his friend and took the first sip of his drink. "I don't know Saeki...I mean there's nothing you can do to help me on this matter."

Truth is Fuji could not find the strength to tell his best friend about the news that ripped his heart few hours ago. He knew the moment he tells Saeki it will all be real. He could not pretend it's not happening anymore, and that he knows he is not ready to face that just yet.

"Fuji...you've known me for how long now? Your problems are my problems too okay. Come on, unload whatever that is on your mind." Saeki coerced Fuji to talk to him.

"Tezuka's getting married soon." He said it in a brisk sentence, trying to contain his emotions from showing on his face.

Shock flashed in the silver haired lad's eyes for a moment. "Oh, I see…"

Fuji lowered his head to stare at the glass again.

"Hey…" Saeki felt a sudden surge of hatred for the former captain of Seigaku. He knew Tezuka was not to be blamed in this matter but he could not bear to see his dear friend sad.

"Fuji, look at me." Fuji's shoulders were slumped and his honey brown locks shielded his face from Saeki's view. Saeki tucked Fuji's hair behind his ear and turned Fuji's face to face his. "Don't be down.. We've always known this moment would come one day. You're prepared for this right Syu chan? You're stronger than you think you are you know."

Fuji forced a smile. "I should be happy for him, but my heart refuses to do so. I'm a terrible friend aren't I?"

"You were in love Syu chan. That's not a terrible thing."

Fuji nodded with a sad smile on his face. He thought of all the years he had spent loving the bespectacled man from afar. He always thought that by some miracle Tezuka would come to him someday, proclaiming his love. He knew it was foolish, but that's exactly who he is, a foolish romantic who never knew when to stop believing.

"Tezuka has found someone to love and spend his life with, Fuji..now it's your turn. I know there is someone out there for you. Someday you're gonna find that person and all these heartache will go away. It's time for you to find your happiness. You have to move on. And i'll be here for you every step of the way." Saeki reached out and held Fuji's hand.

"Thank you Saeki, i appreciate that…" Fuji replied earnestly.

"Come here big boy." Saeki pulled Fuji into his arm. Fuji rested his head on Saeki's chest and Saeki patted his back. "Forget about him. You deserved to be happy Syusuke."

"I'll try..." Fuji mumbled against the fabric of Saeki's shirt.

TFTF

Fuji stood in front of his house. He took a deep breath. Although seeing Saeki did not lessen his pain, he somehow felt like his mind was in better shape and he could now go on with his routine. He knows he should focus on the people he has in his life and try to forget the man that so often graces his dreams at night. However, he does not know if he is strong enough to move past Tezuka. Well, i guess i'm gonna have to try...Fuji sighed before reaching for his key.

"I'm home…" He entered the house and closed the door behind him.

"Papa! Papa!" A girl about four pounced on him and Fuji dropped his bag in surprise.

"Oh my miracle baby! I miss you so much!" Fuji rubbed his face against her cheeks as she laughed in delight.

"Okaeri papa." She planted a kiss on Fuji's cheek.

"Tadaima Hana chan!" Fuji rested his forehead on her.

"Papa is so late today and I almost fell asleep." She pouted.

"I'm so sorry, baby… papa had some important business with uncle Saeki just now." Fuji pouted back.

"Uncle Saeki is mean! He kept papa for too long. I'm gonna teach him a lesson when i see him next time!"

"Yes my baby, teach that porcupine head a lesson if you ever have a chance. Papa loves to see him suffer." Fuji blew on her cheek and she giggled ticklishly.

"Ah Kayano." Fuji looked up to see the young teenager with a messy bun and earphones dangling from her ears. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll pay extra for the over time."

"Thank you Fuji san, I'll take my leave now. Oh, by the way, Takahiro is in his room, he said he doesn't want anyone to disturb him tonight."

"Thank you for telling me, be safe on your way home." Fuji smiled sincerely at his babysitter. They exchanged farewells before she left.

Fuji squatted down next to his daughter with a mischievous face. "Ne, let's see what Takahiro is up to, shall we?"

"Yes papa! Onii chan did not let me enter his room since this morning! Let's go and see him!" She climbed on Fuji's back and Fuji carried her all the way to his son's room. When they were both in front of the boy's door, Fuji signaled the girl to stay silent.

He heard the boy talking faintly. Fuji wondered what he was up to. He opened the door slightly and peeked through the small opening.

"A thousand times the worse to want thy light. Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks..."

Fuji swung the open the door and placed the back of his hand on his forehead dramatically. "Oh my romeo, I'll do anything for you. Your love ravishes me, it's a power I cannot resist. If I was the planet and you are my moon I'll stop spinning to-" He couldn't continue as he broke into a fit of laughter.

"P-papa!" The boy, who look about nine was startled by the sudden entrance. "You should knock before entering someone's room!" He spat angrily all the while looking flustered.

Fuji and the small girl held their stomach as they laughed their heart out.

"Stop laughing both of you!" The boy was now as red as a tomato.

"I'm sorry Takahiro… Are you partaking in any school play?" Fuji snatched the note in his hand and scanned through it.

"There is this audition for the school play. I want to get the main role, so you see that's why I was practicing so hard." He scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"But you're already good at acting, Takahiro sama." Fuji said cutely.

"No I'm not." He looked away in embarrassment.

"Remember when you were in kindergarten you played the shepherd while your other friends were just 'baa baa-ing' as lambs behind you?" Fuji slumped on the bed, followed by his little girl.

"That was years ago. And it was kindergarten standard!"

"Gosh Takahiro, then this will be elementary school standard."

"Well, I'll get merit for my school project if i get the role." Takahiro defended himself.

"Darling you're only 9. You're too serious. You need to loosen up baby. Now how about you give your papa a hug hmm?" Fuji opened his arm with an anticipating look.

Takahiro slumped his shoulder in defeat. He could never resist that face.

"You're not my real papa." He mumbled under his breath as he climbed into the bed and got in between Fuji's arms.

"I know honey." Fuji wrapped his arm around Takahiro and kissed his forehead. He looked at his baby girl who had already fallen asleep next to him. He could never feel more content than this.

These two lovely souls were the gifts from his late sister. She died 4 years ago together with his beloved parents.

They were on their way for Yumiko's check up appointment. She was on her third trimester and was expecting her second child. His parents could not be any happier. They decided to accompany her for the check up but it ended with the three of them crashed by a drunk driver and the incident took away their lives instantly. The baby in her womb was miraculously unharmed. She was born premature and had to be placed under neonatal intensive care unit. The incubator was her home for several months. She survived all the hurdles and Fuji couldn't thank god more for this little miracle.

That day he became an orphan but he also received something precious in return, his Hana chan. Yumiko's husband could not handle the bad news and turned to drinking. Yumiko was the great love of his life and he could not bear to live in a world without her. Then the hallucinations started and he simply stopped functioning. Everybody thought it was best for him to be sent to an institution that handled people like him, people who simply had nothing else to live for.

That was when Fuji stepped in and took custody of his nephew, Takahiro, Yumiko's first child and Hana after that. He was so young back then, but he did not even think twice about taking in Yumiko's children. He struggled a lot as a new graduate who had only started working with a newborn baby to care for. Although money was never an issue, Fuji was drained emotionally with the new responsibility he never thought he would have to live with at the tender age of 21. Slowly he learned and he grew to love his new role as a father to the children he had now come to see as his own. They have been living together for four years now and he could not have asked for anything better.

Fuji's chest felt heavy as he reminisced those dark times. He looked at the children and smiled. He never could have gotten through the death of his family without Takahiro and Hana by his side. His eyelids felt heavy and closed slowly and he went to sleep with the two in his arms.

TFTF

Fuji was woken up in the middle of the night by his ringing phone. He fumbled for his phone sleepily and peeked at it only to find 9 missed calls from Saeki. He looked around and realized he had fallen asleep in the kids' room. He disentangled himself from them and walked out of the room slowly, careful not to wake them.

Fuji dialed Saeki's number and the latter answered immediately.

"Thank god you're finally answering the damn phone Syusuke!"

"What do you want Kojiroh? It's 3 in the morning..." Fuji replied groggily while rubbing his eyes.

"I have bad news. Tezuka was involved in an accident."

Fuji's eyes widened instantly at the news. "Tezuka? Oh god what happened to him? Where is he now? Is he hurt? Tell me Kojiroh!"

"Syusuke calm down. He is fine. His car lost control and he hit the port before he was plunged into the water."

Fuji gasped at the end of the line.

"Thank god there was a group of fishermen who saw the whole thing and they got him out of the car. He is in the hospital now."

"I'll come right now. Wait for me-"

"Syusuke, he is not injured. Don't worry about him. He is having some problems with his memory though. We call this temporary amnesia. The medical team couldn't notify his family because he'd lost his personal belongings in the car."

"Amnesia? Oh god, that's horrible. Please let me see him."

Saeki sighed "Syusuke, it's the middle of the night. You can pay him a visit tomorrow. Besides, he wouldn't even know who you are. Hell, he doesn't even know his own name."

"I just want to make sure he is fine." Fuji insisted.

"I told you Syusuke. He is alright. You have little kids with you. Get some sleep, you can see him tomorrow."

"Okay… if you say so. I'm coming to see him first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, suit yourself. I'm telling you this because I need your help to contact his family and let them know about this."

"Okay, I'll contact his parents…"

"Good, I have to get going. I have tons of work to do."

"Thank you for telling me this Kojiroh. I appreciate it."

"Anything for you Syusuke. Take care." He ended the call.

Fuji threw the phone on the couch. He buried his face on the cushion. Tezuka was not supposed to be in Chiba for a few more days. That was what Eiji had told him on the phone. Maybe he had something to do beforehand Fuji thought to himself.

God, he wanted to see Tezuka so badly. The last time he saw him was during their reunion five years back. He could still remember how his mouth went dry and he ran out of words when Tezuka greeted him. That was the first time they had seen each other again since graduation from high school. Fuji thought Tezuka could not look more handsome. He still remembered vividly the moment his heart shattered when Tezuka introduced a woman who was by his side as his girlfriend. She was pretty, and was more on the traditional side, exactly the kind of woman Fuji thought Tezuka would end up marrying.

Fuji wiped a drop of tear that had escaped from his eye. He tried to push the painful memory away. There is no use reminiscing about the past he told himself.

Fuji sighed and laid back on the couch. He had wanted to spend some time with the bespectacled man before he got married. Fuji knew he would not be able to look at Tezuka the same after the marriage knowing that the guy has someone waiting for him at home, to cook for him, to give him children and to warm his bed. He looked at the spinning fan on the ceiling as his mind went over an array of thoughts.

Something suddenly clicked in his mind and Fuji got up from the couch abruptly. He suddenly felt nervous but excited all the same as he processed the idea. He does not know if it is going to work but he is going to give it a try. He is going to make Tezuka his in this few days. Fuji was bursting with adrenaline as he reached for his phone.

He texted Saeki quickly. He knew Saeki might not be able to text him back at the moment but he couldn't help it. His heart was beating hard with anticipation.

To saeki_kojiroh

From me

Can I borrow some of your clothes?

He got his reply in no time.

From saeki_kojiroh

To: me

God, what are you up to Syusuke?

TFTF

Tezuka felt a pang of headache as he opened his eyes slowly. His eyes adjusted to the light as white background came into focus. The smell of antiseptic filled his nose. He looked around in confusion. He was in a hospital.

His brain went into a frenzy as he tried to figure out what got him into the hospital. However hard he tried, he could not remember anything.

"Oh good Tezuka san, you're awake. You must have many questions. I'll get the doctor and he'll explain everything." A nurse walked towards him with a warm smile.

Tezuka looked at her and tried to register what she just said. Tezuka? Is that my name? How come I don't remember that?

A man who looked about fifty with greying hair approached him. "Ahh, good morning Tezuka san. I am Dr. Nishimura. You were involved in a car accident last night. Don't worry, you did not suffer any external injuries. We had a conversation last night, do you remember that?

Tezuka shook his head. He did not recall any conversations with the doctor.

"Do you know how old you are and where you live?" The doctor proceeded to ask.

"No." Again Tezuka shook his head.

The doctor asked a few other personal questions, all of which Tezuka could not answer.

"Alright, Tezuka san. You have what is called temporary amnesia. It can happen with accidents. Now don't worry, as the name indicates it is only temporary. You will slowly regain all your memories. There is no reason to believe that this condition in permanent."

Tezuka nodded slowly as he tried to take in the new information.

"Do you think you can answer some questions from the police? They have been waiting to get your statement since last night." The doctor enquired.

Tezuka nodded yes. Two policemen walked in and greeted Tezuka before asking him about the accident. Naturally, he could not remember anything. Fifteen minutes later the policemen left leaving Tezuka to contemplate the whole of his life that he has forgotten. He was informed that his spouse will be here to get him soon. That piece of information did relieve him a little. Maybe then I will be able to piece my life together he thought to himself.

The nurse brought him some breakfast and he ate a little, lost in his own thoughts. Millions of questions ran through his mind. He searched his mind trying to find even the slightest bit of clue as to who he is. All the thinking got him mentally drained and he dozed of for a while.

TFTF

Tezuka had only been sleeping for ten minutes when he heard the door to his room open. He opened his eyes to find a man with silver hair and black undertone enter his room. Judging from his appearance, he was a doctor too.

"How do you feel?" Saeki asked as he checked Tezuka's vital signs.

"Exhausted." Tezuka answered honestly.

"Well, that is normal given what you have been through. Try to get some rest. Your husband will be here soon."

Tezuka raised a brow. "Excuse me?"

Did he just say husband? Tezuka looked at Saeki dumbfoundedly.

"Your husband? Spouse? He said he'll be here as fast as he can."

Tezuka sat up on his bed. "I have a husband? You mean I'm…" Tezuka cleared his throat. "I'm a homosexual?" Tezuka looked at Saeki expectantly as he waited for the answer.

Saeki had to control himself from laughing out loud. This is the first time he's seen the captain of Seigaku this flustered. "Homosexual? Nah, I wouldn't say you're gay. It's hard to explain. Just wait till you see your husband. You'll know right away why you are married to that guy."

Tezuka had his eyes glued to his hands, a look of dread alternating with confused face. He could hear the doctor rambling away some nonsense in the distance but all he could think of was the word homosexual.

Saeki chuckled to himself as he wrote something in his report. "Man, you're lucky to get him, he is lovely. He might be childish but inside he is a good guy. He is one in a million, good looks with a pure heart, now that's not a package you can find easily."

Saeki, realizing what he'd been babbling about quickly shot his head up and looked at Tezuka. He must have sounded like an old man praising his son.

He was greeted by a pair of sharp eyes staring back at him intensely. It was a look that could drive a predator away. Saeki gulped.

Shit! Was that too much information? Saeki looked around nervously as he thought of what to say next.

Tezuka did not have to ask how Saeki could talk so casually about the person he called his husband, his expression and sharp gaze did it for him instead.

Crap! Saeki cursed inwardly.

"Well, you see, your husband came by last night to see you. He stayed for a long time but you were not awake at the time. He made a good company." Saeki fabricated some lies and hoped Tezuka would buy them.

Tezuka shot Saeki a killing look. It sent shivers down his spine.

Saeki gulped. Does he know I'm lying? Man this guy can just kill me with his eyes.

Saeki almost winced when he saw Tezuka open his mouth to say something. "So I'm married…to a guy..." Tezuka asked again, although it sounded more like a statement.

Ah, so he's still thinking about that. Why did you drag me into this mess Syusuke?!

"Yes, yes, Tezuka san, you're married to a lovely guy. You guys make a beautiful couple. Geez, I'm so jealous of you two. I bet you spent thousands of dollars for your rings, it was lovely and I had to restrain myself from trying on someone else's property." Saeki let out a nervous chuckle. Crap! I talk too much when I'm nervous!

"I have a ring?" Tezuka asked as his eyes landed on his empty ring finger. "Where is it?" He demanded.

"Ah, that. The nurse in charge last night must have kept it somewhere safe. I'll ask her to bring it to you later." A lie came out swiftly from Saeki's lips.

Why did I lie about that fucking ring. Where are you Syusuke?! Do you know my job is on jeopardy here if people find out about this?!

A knock interrupted their conversation.

Saeki breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid he would get entangled in his own web of lies if he talked to Tezuka any longer.

"Excuse me." Fuji entered the room awkwardly. "Am I interrupting something?"

"No, no you're not interrupting anything Fuji san. Your husband has been eagerly waiting for you all day." Saeki smiled fakely. You're going to jail with me Syusuke!

"Okay…" Fuji looked nervously at his 'husband'. He has never felt this anxious before. Tezuka was sitting on the bed looking a little disheveled although it did nothing to mask his handsome face. Fuji gulped and took a second to compose himself and get his act on.

"T-tezuka. I mean Kunimitsu. Oh look at you, you poor thing.." Fuji reached for the bed as he feigned a worried look.

Tezuka eyed the man in front of him. Beautiful was the first thought that pop into his head. Very beautiful indeed. This must be what the doctor meant. Tezuka thought to himself.

"Kunimitsu?"A velvety voice spoke. "Are you alright?"

A beautiful voice to match a beautiful face. Another thought pop into his head. "I'm fine." Tezuka still could not break his stare. Sure this man is beautiful beyond words, but did I really marry a guy? A long thought of process ran through his head.

Fuji's eyes wandered around. He was uncomfortable under the intense gaze. It was as if Tezuka was trying to decipher him and anytime now he would be called out on his lie.

"You don't recognize me Kunimitsu?" Fuji continued with the lie. He plastered a fake hurt look on his face.

Tezuka searched his brain hoping to find any remnants of the man that might be left in his memory. Unfortunately, nothing came up. "Sorry, I don't." Tezuka answered honestly.

"We were high school sweethearts my dear." Fuji took out his wallet and showed Tezuka an old picture of them together. It was taken during a school festival in their third year. Fuji had pressured Tezuka into going to a cosplay booth where he was dressed up as a maid and Tezuka a prince. Fuji had said something something about their evil math teacher in sailor costume and Tezuka wasn't able to to contain himself and broke into a small laughter, that was when the photo was taken. It was one of Fuji's prized possession, a rare instance where Tezuka Kunimitsu actually smiled. They looked like a happy couple in the picture. Fuji could not remember how many times he had held and stared at the picture along the years.

Tezuka scrutinized the small polaroid photo. He exchanged his gaze from the photo to Fuji before giving Fuji a small nod.

"So my name is Tezuka Kunimitsu?" Tezuka started.

"Yes, that's your name and my name is Fuji Syusuke. We've been married for 4 years."

"Hn."

Fuji smiled at the short reply. Still a man of few words. He was happy he could see Tezuka again but not in this situation. Tezuka did not change much although his body got a little bigger. His features had always been sharp and matured even back then when they were in school. That perfect, strong jaw, hazy brown eyes and even the dent mark on the bridge of his nose due to his constant use of spectacles was still there. Fuji remembered laughing every time someone mistook Tezuka for a teacher.

"Oh Kunimitsu, you made me worried sick. Thank god I found you." Fuji had a fond look on his face, he missed the guy terribly. "I missed you so much."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"Let's get you home hmm?" Fuji gathered his courage and intertwined his fingers with Tezuka's larger one. His heart almost popped out of his chest for his bold action.

Tezuka nodded slightly. His eyes were fixed on their joined hand.

"Oh my, you've lost your wedding ring!" Fuji faked a shocked face. "You spent a lot of time and money looking for the right rings for us and now it is gone?"

Tezuka looked at the golden ring adorning Fuji's beautiful finger. "I didn't lose it. The doctor said it is with him. He'll pass it to me upon my discharge."

"That's good to hear. You love that ring more that your life Kunimitsu."

Saeki was getting restless watching the scene unfolding in front of him. He is not a good actor to begin with.

"Saa sensei, do I have to fill any form before taking my husband home?" Fuji looked at Saeki with expecting eyes.

What an act, please consider changing your profession Syusuke.

"Yes yes, only a few forms and we are done."

"Thanks a lot sensei! I can't imagine what would happen to Kunimitsu without you."

"S-sure, let's get the form. Tezuka san please rest while we get everything done."

"Hn."

"I'll be be back soon." Fuji stood up and gave a lovely smile to his husband before leaving the room with Saeki.

TFTF

"Sign here and you're done." Saeki guided Fuji on filling the form. "I'll inform the police officer about this so they will have the case closed."

"Thank you Kojiroh, you helped me a lot." Fuji squeezed Saeki's arm.

"Nahh I'm a crappy actor. I think I messed up a little before you arrived."

"It's not about your acting dummy. You agreed on doing this for me. I couldn't thank you more."

"Hey don't be a sap. You know I'll do anything for you right? Now get your man home and enjoy your time with him." Saeki pinched Fuji's nose playfully.

"Hmm thank you. Here please pass it to Tezuka later." Fuji handed Saeki a ring.

"Bless you for buying a golden ring Syusuke! You're too perfect, it made my hair crawl."

"Idiot." Fuji nudged him with his elbow.
