((Okay. U-Um.. I don't know why, but my 6th fic (which is this one. =D) will be GouFubu again.. OAO My 7th would probably be a death fic.. If not my 10th cause I don't really know how to kill people.. O_O Thank you for all your reviews! But.. Gigi-san! =( Really? I thought that Tsurugi would cry cause he was thinking about both Tenma and Yuuichi, two people he really loves.. Never mind! =) E-Enjoy! =3))
He knew. He knew it.. Yet.. He couldn't help but feel jealous. Knew what, you ask? He knew that they were in a relationship, and he was supposed to be happy for them, but.. He couldn't. He couldn't do it. It was hard to let go of him, much less be happy for them. He was already trying his best, throwing fake smiles, hanging out with them, tease them whenever they were acting lovey-dovey.. But every time he did one of those things, his heart would ache a little more than the previous times. He wasn't sure his heart could take anymore of this torture. Even sakka practice had become a torture chamber. Seeing them on the field was a pain, especially when they were all mushy. He pretended to be happy when his friends were there, but once he got home.. That was an entirely different story. He was pretty sure that most of his friends had seen through his disguise. He couldn't tell anyone about this problem, though. It was.. Kind of personal. If only his brother was here..
Sighing, Fubuki Shirou sat on the bench, watching his friends practice. He had escaped from sakka practice with the excuse of not feeling well.. But.. His friends kept shooting him either worried or puzzled glances.. And it made him uncomfortable. He buried his face in his hands to avoid seeing yet another hug occur between them. Them.. Gouenji.. And.. Toramaru. Fubuki had always known that Toramaru liked Gouenji.. But.. What he didn't know was that Gouenji liked him back. Thus, he was shocked when the couple made their relationship official.
''Fubuki-kun? Mind if I sit here?''
Fubuki looked up upon hearing the all-too-familiar voice. It belonged to one of his good friends, Kiyama Hiroto. He nodded weakly, not having any strength to try and escape again. He was sick and tired of running away, and he wanted to tell Hiroto about everything.
''Fubuki-kun..? I realised that you've been avoiding Gouenji-kun and Toramaru-kun lately. A few weeks back.. You still would have smiled forcefully at them, but now..''
''.. As expected of you to realise, Hiroto-kun.''
Hiroto was shocked. Fubuki's voice was so dry and emotionless.. Almost as if he was sucked off all his energy.
''I'm just.. Exhausted. Exhausted from everything..''
''Fubuki-kun.. I'm sorry this had to happen.. Come with me, I want to bring you somewhere. How about we get ice-cream on the way?''
''Ice-cream? Really? Thank you, Hiroto-kun! Where are we going? Let's go there now!''
Hiroto chuckled. It was amusing that the word ice-cream could bring out a real smile on Fubuki's face. He narrowed his eyes as he saw Gouenji walking towards them.
''Fubuki..? Do you want to hang out today?''
Hiroto watched as Fubuki's smile faltered slightly. Worried, he reached out and gently squeezed Fubuki's hand. The ice striker/defender looked at Hiroto, surprised, but he still smiled, a real smile, reassuring Hiroto.
''I'm sorry, Gouenji-kun. But I already have a date with Hiroto-kun! We're gonna eat ice-cream!''
Hiroto chuckled when Fubuki said the word ''date''. He would probably call getting ice-cream a date, no matter who he went with.
''How about next time, Gouenji-kun? Alright? See you later then!''
Gouenji watched as Fubuki grabbed Hiroto's hand and dragged him away happily. The fire striker clutched his chest tightly. What was this.. Feeling..? Why.. Did his chest hurt when he saw Fubuki so happy? Shouldn't he be glad that Fubuki was smiling and laughing..? He sighed in frustration and walked off to find Toramaru.
''Gouenji. Can I talk to you for a minute?''
Widening his eyes a bit in surprise, Gouenji turned towards the source of the voice and found Kidou standing behind him, his cape flowing.
''Sure..''
Kidou nodded and beckoned Gouenji to follow him. The ace striker of Raimon followed the strategist, puzzled. Kidou usually said whatever was on his mind on the spot. Asking Gouenji to follow him.. It must be serious.
''Well then, Gouenji. I'm sure you know that I hate beating around the bush, so I'll go straight to the point.''
Gouenji gulped and nodded. He was prepared to do whatever Kidou wanted of him.
''Tell me honestly, Gouenji. Do you.. Feel anything.. Special.. For Fubuki?''
... If he had one, Gouenji would have spitted out his drink. What kind of question was that? Kidou wasn't the type to ask these kind of questions.. Though, recently, Gouenji felt that Fubuki should not hang out with anyone but him, and he was unusually happy whenever Fubuki was smiling or laughing because of him, even if he was sad before that. He also felt really depressed these few days, cause Fubuki had been ignoring him, even if Fubuki didn't, his smiles were fake. Plus the fact that Gouenji had the urge to punch Hiroto in the face when his Fubuki went on a ''date'' with Hiroto, the ice lover had even smiled a real smile at that.. Red-haired.. Green ice-cream loving.. Guy..
''Gouenji? Why are you balling your fists up like you want to murder somebody right now?''
''Ah.. It's nothing, Kidou. Anyway, answering your question.. Truthfully, I don't know. I feel really happy when Fubuki smiles, a real smile, and when he's sad, I feel.. Depressed? I also think that he can't hang out with anyone else but me, and today when he went out with Hiroto I felt like punching that ex-alien in the face.. But. But I still love Toramaru, so I can't possibly be in love with Fubuki.''
Kidou stared at Gouenji with an ''are you an idiot'' face. He facepalmed and was about to open his mouth when Toramaru ran over to them, apparently wanting to spend time with his boyfriend.
''Well, bye, Kidou. Talk to you later.''
Kidou blinked as Gouenji walked away with Toramaru. He stood there, pondering about what Gouenji said for a moment, before making a decision. He needed to call Hiroto if he was going to make the plan work. He watched Gouenji and Toramaru fade into the distance before muttering something.
''You really are an idiot, Gouenji. Maybe Endou rubbed off you.. Cause.. You're obviously in love. With Fubuki..''
((Okay.. Done with chapter one.. O_O I.. Um.. Think I made Kidou a little OOC.. O-O Anyway I'm soooooooooooooo sorry Hiroto! T-T I don't hate you or anything! I swear! I just needed Gouenji to be jealous.. T_T I'm so sorry! I'll definetly put you with Midorikawa later in the fic.. Promise. =3 Cheesy ending, yet once again! XD))
