Eiji and Oishi are the greatest friends ever…until Eiji started to have feelings for Oishi. Since Eiji started having feelings he's been thinking about Oishi non-stop. "Can Oishi ever love a boy back? Can Oishi ever love me back?" Eiji wanted to know this…but he's too afraid to ask Oishi how he feels.

One day Eiji was at practice with Fuji. They were sitting on the side of the courts…slacking off that's what Tezuka would say, but Eiji wanted to ask Fuji something.

"Fujiko, what do you think about me being…gay or…bi?" Eiji asked shyly. There was silence. Fuji eyes were open. "This can't be a good sign…" Eiji thought.

"Eiji…you know we are friends right?"

"Y-Yes?"

"…I wouldn't be mad or displeased with you because of what gender you like."

"…" Eiji didn't know what to say. He loves Fuji but as a friend…and he's very grateful to have an awesome friend as him. So he didn't want to lose him…nor Oishi for that matter.

Fuji closed his eyes and smiled at Eiji. "Eiji…you love someone don't you?" Eiji blushed. What is he supposed to say? No one knows about his feeling towards Oishi…no one.

"Eiji!" a voice came up. It was Oishi.

"O-Oishi? W-What's up?" Eiji asked.

"What are you doing? You're slacking off…again!" Oishi's voice was rising.

Fuji got up and bowed to Oishi. "Gomen, Oishi. It was my fault. I needed to ask him a very important question."

"Oh…okay then. Back to practice, the both of you."

"Hai!" Eiji and Fuji both said.

Tezuka came up to all three of them. "What's going on here, Oishi?"

"Oh, Tezuka! We just have a couple of slackers on our hands…but no need to be angry. I fixed it."

Tezuka just stood there and stared at Fuji and Eiji. "Fuji! Kikumaru! Twenty laps!"

"Dem-!" Eiji got cut off by Tezuka.

"Fifty laps!"

"…H-Hai…" Eiji sighed out.

Eiji and Fuji then stared to run. Meanwhile Oishi was watching them with Tezuka.

"T-Tezuka…don't you think that was…uh…a little harsh?"

"No." Tezuka said without skipping a heartbeat.

"Ah…gomen." Oishi bowed.

"Oishi…you shouldn't go too easy with Kikumaru." Oishi was done bowing and looked up at Tezuka. "…Even if he is your best friend…and/or doubles partner…you shouldn't go easy. Got it?"

"…H-Hai, Tezuka!"

"Alright. Back to practice!"

"I-I'll watch Eiji and Fuji…you know to make sure they run their laps."

"…Alright then." Tezuka walked off leaving the green eyed boy to watch the two tennis players run their laps.

"F-Fujiko?" Eiji panted out as they were still running.

"N-Nani?" Fuji asked.

"Why did you cover me?" Eiji looked over to his best friend. Fuji was beside him. Fuji was sweaty and his hair looked beautiful in the sun shine…Eiji thought.

"Because, Eiji, you're my best friend and that's what friends do." Fuji smiled.

Eiji giggled a little. "Heh…thank you Fujiko!" Eiji stopped and glomped the tensai.

"Hmm…Eiji." Fuji hugged back.

"Fuji! Eiji! Keep going! You have two laps to go!" Oishi yelled.

"Ah…gomen Oishi! Nya!" Eiji yelled back smiling.

Oishi blinked and watched Eiji as he ran and talked with the tensai. "N-nani? Why am I…being ruff on him? Gah! I hope he isn't a little mad. That would be bad for our doubles."

Eiji and Fuji ran their two laps and sat on a bench resting. Eiji is drenched in sweat…so was Fuji. It was a hot day. The sun was beaming on them. "So hot…nya." Eiji panted out.

"H-Hai…it is." Fuji panted out.

"Fuji! Kikumaru! Don't slack off more!" Tezuka yelled at them.

"T-Tezuka…it's hot out here so we were taking a break." Fuji said.

"…Fine. Five minute break no more than that." Tezuka said walking away.

Eiji was still sitting, panting, and sweating. "God…why did we have to have practice on a day like this?" Eiji said wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Well…it's better to practice than not practice at all, ne? Fuji asked sitting down next to Eiji once again, but this time closer than before.

Eiji nodded weakly. "But still…it's hot." Fuji then chuckled. "Nani?" Eiji asked.

"Oh nothing, Eiji." Fuji smiled at the redhead.

Practice was over ten minutes later. All the boys were sweaty, tired, and wanted to go home and sit in front of an air conditioner. Everyone left but Eiji, Fuji and Oishi were the only ones there.

"…Eiji…can I speak with you private?" Fuji asked. Oishi blinked.

"H-Hai, nya?" Eiji said and they both walked out of the clubroom and walked home together. "Oi, Fujiko. What did you want to talk about?"

"Eiji, is Oishi the person you like?"

Eiji gulped. "W-Why asked such a question?"

"…You're right. Why did asked? I don't really know for sure."

"Fujiko? Are you…okay?" Eiji was a little worried. Fuji was acting strange and he wanted to know why. "Do you want me to stay over at your place?"

Fuji blinked and nodded. "That would be nice, Eiji." Fuji held out his hand to hold the red heads hand. Without hesitation Eiji grabbed Fuji's hand and they both walked to Fuji's house.

When they got there Yuuta was there taking out the garbage. "Hello, Aniki. Oh…Kikumaru hello." Yuuta greeted them.

"Hello Yuuta. It's been awhile since you've been home." Fuji said.

"Ah…yeah. Gomen." Then Yuuta noticed the boys holding hands. "…"

Fuji blinked and noticed that they were still holding hands and let go. Eiji was confused at what was going on.

"Yuuta did you bring anyone with you?" Fuji asked as all three boys went inside the house.

"No. Why?"

"…Just asking, so I don't have to get my chainsaw out." Fuji smirked. Yuuta and Eiji had the 'oh my god' look on their faces. "Heh heh…just kidding." Eiji and Yuuta then began to breathe normally.

"Nya, Fujiko! Why did you let go of my hand so quickly?"

"…Gomen, Eiji. I didn't mean for you to think it like that. I was just letting go of your hand that's all."

"Really?" Eiji hugged Fuji. "I thought it was because Yuuta was all blush-like." Eiji giggled.

Yuuta blushed. "I was not, Kikumaru!"

"…You are now!" Eiji pointed out teasing Yuuta.

"…" Yuuta turned around and headed to his room.

Fuji chuckled a little. "That was entertaining?"

Eiji nodded. "Yeah!"

Fuji smiled. "I'm going to see if Yuuta is mad. You stay here or watch TV or something."

"Hai!" Eiji then jumped on a couch in the living room and turned on the TV.

Fuji walked up the stairs and knocked on Yuuta's door. "Who is it?"

"It's me, Yuuta. Open up. I need to talk with you." Fuji said and then the door slowly opened up. Fuji walked in, closed the door and locked it so no one could come in.

Yuuta sat up on his bed. "What is it, Aniki? Look if it's about your feelings towards Eiji don't worry it's safe with me. I won't tell." Yuuta was right. The conversation was going to be about Fuji liking Eiji more than a friend.

"How did you know it was about Eiji?"

"Aniki, I know you more than anyone. I can read you…err…most of the time. It's about Eiji. Like I said 'it's safe with me'."

"Thank you, Yuuta." Fuji bowed to Yuuta then unlocked the door and walked out shutting it. When Fuji shut the door Eiji was there. He stared at Fuji. "…E-Eiji?" Fuji's heart was pounding and he was afraid Eiji might of known what they were talking about.

"You like someone too, Fujiko? Nya? Tell me! I'll tell you who I like if you tell me who you like!" Fuji blinked and knew that Eiji didn't know about his feeling towards him. "So is it a deal?"

"Gomen, Eiji, but no one is to know about who has my heart. No one but Yuuta. When I'm ready I'll tell you. Okay?" Fuji patted Eiji's head.

"Nya….fine." Eiji pouted. Eiji's pout face was adorable to Fuji. Fuji knew that Eiji loves Oishi, but it won't stop him from taking his heart, or at least trying.

Later on that night when at around 6:30pm. Fuji and Eiji were in Fuji's room. Eiji was laying on Fuji's bed while Fuji was sitting at his desk watching the red head play with an old teddy bear. Fuji was smiling and was amused at Eiji. Eiji looked over at Fuji and blinked.

"What are you looking at?" Eiji said sticking his tongue out childishly.

"I'm looking at a fifteen year old sticking his tongue out like a child." Fuji chuckled at the reaction Eiji made. Eiji had a pout face and playing with fingers. "Heh what is it, Eiji?"

"Nothing…just am I really that childish?" Eiji pouted more.

"Hai, but nothing to be sad about. It makes you yourself…" Fuji then got up and pinned Eiji to the bed. "And it's another thing that I love about you." Eiji blinked and then started to giggle. "What's so funny, Eiji?"

"Oh its that you had me going there, Fuji. God…my heart was pounding cause I thought you were serious about you loving me! Nya!" Eiji was thinking Fuji was just acting.

Eiji really did think that Fuji was just acting, but Fuji wasn't. He was serious about him loving Eiji. "If only Eiji could love me…or understand me more. When will he relies that I love him?" Fuji thought to himself. "Eiji, what if I was in live with you? What would you do about that? How would you react about it?"

"Huh? Anou…why ask me? I-I would treat you the same…and maybe sometimes be sweet to you when I want something from you! Nya!" Eiji giggled.

"Oh I see." Fuji got off of Eiji and walked back to his desk and sat down. "So…you don't believe me when I said I love you?"

"Well…I-I don't know. I mean…were you serious, Fujiko? Are you really in love with me?"

Fuji smirked. "Maybe I am…maybe I'm not. Beats me who I am in love with actually."

"…Fuji…I-" Eiji was cut off by knocking.

"Aniki! Kikumaru! It's time to eat." Yuuta said then walked away.

"Hai." Fuji said opening the door. "You coming, Eiji?"

"…Demo…I really want to continue this conversation." Eiji got up and walked to the door.

"We will after supper, okay?" Fuji said as Eiji passed him.

"Fine." Eiji sighed out.
