A/N: I'm back! . And I'm really pressured because of schoolwork and finals but I can't help it. I just had to write another one. And I'm still thinking of ideas for other schools, so I'll post this first.

And without further ado,

~*~HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FUJI SYUSUKE! ^^-

February 28, 2013

[6:44am]

*Beep Boop Beep Boop*

Fuji wakes up to the annoying beeps of his phone. Soon, he was greeted warmly (or was it disturbingly?) by the rays of sunshine seeping through the windows. He opened his eyes for a second, then closed them again. He didn't know what it was, but it suddenly felt like… everything's in slow motion.

He turned to stare at the source of the noise, only to land his gaze on his phone.

Why was it beeping that way? Maybe there's a message. But then again, it wasn't even his ringtone. What time is it anyways? 6:44am. What day is it? Thursday, Febr-

Wait.

…

WHAT?!

Asdfghjkl ! It's 6:44 already!

Then, as if the clock was provoking, it suddenly turned to 6:45am.

Qwertyuiop!

What happened to the alarm he set 6:00am? Oh, that phone is gonna get IT later.

For now… RUN!

Fuji dashed to take a quick shower and dress up in record time. He was never one to panic and rush things… but hey, he's never been late! And he wasn't going to break that record today. He hated being late, in case you didn't know (without reason, that is). According to historical records (or Inui's data), Fuji had never taken a full shower in 3 minutes and 38.09 seconds… Not to mention dress up for 59 seconds.

He reached for his books on the desk and dumped them on his bag. He was a neat person, everybody knew. But he'd rather break that than suffer the pain of embarrassment for being late. He didn't even have time to realize what day it was. The adrenaline rush wouldn't allow him to glance at the calendar and recall what day it was yesterday.

Saa… but why does it feel like the calendar is suddenly calling his name? Why is there some kind of magnetic pull that tempts him to look at it? Hmm…

Well, maybe it wouldn't hurt to lo—

*Beep Boop Beep Boop*

A pair of irritated eyes glared at the phone. His earlier thoughts had vanished. For now, the beeping phone had caught his attention. The logic was: maybe if he glared enough, the beeping would stop. But heck, you didn't have to be a tensai to know that the laws of Science wouldn't allow that. In 0.097 seconds, he had the phone in hand (even if it was on the other side of the room).

Full Battery.

No calls.

No alarms (it's too late anyways).

No alerts.

No mes—

Oh wait, there's one. Fuji raised an eyebrow at the unregistered number for a fraction of half a second and opened the message.

Don't worry; If things don't go well today, there's always tomorrow to make you feel better. You are Fuji after all.

Oh, n don't forget the sock! ^_~

BTW, hav u heard that Shitenhouji's Zaizen has piercings on his tongue?

What.

Like, what did it mean?

Sock? What sock?

And Zaizen has WHAT?

Fuji knew he wouldn't get answers now. Not now, when he mentally winces at every turn of the clock's hand that indicates a second has passed.

Tick. Tock.

Certainly not now. Saving the message for later, he took a glance at his cactus by the window (a daily routine), and noticed just how deserted it is alone there (get it? Deserted. Cactus. XD). After so, he (practically) sprinted downstairs (or should I say teleported?). Breakfast wasn't really very appealing when you have too much adrenaline. He was trying his best to stay calm, yet move at the speed of light (considering that we're talking about POT here, anything must be possible).

"Good Morning, Syuusuke," Yoshiko greeted him with closed eyes and a warm smile. "Breakfast is in the table." Fuji Syuusuke was used to hearing these words in the morning. But right now, they didn't really seem to fit the situation.

"Sorry, Okaa-san.. but I'm running late. I don't think I have time for breakfast," Fuji explained with closed eyes and an apologetic smile (yeah, they were having a conversation with closed eyes).

Yoshiko opened her eyes for a moment in concern. "I thought I told Yumiko to wake you up." She was now looking at Syuusuke as if he might have an explanation.

Where was Yumiko anyways?

*Beep Boop Beep Boop*

The annoying beeps of his phone from upstairs (though it sounded very near) helped him get back to the matter at hand. There's only less than 10 minutes left before class starts and a walk to Seigaku might take approximately 7-8 minutes.

Fuji Yoshiko seemingly ignored the noise and turned to her son instead. "Well, you should atleast eat something when you get to school."

"Yes, I will. I'm leaving, Okaa-san. I'll be back after training." With that said, Fuji left and ran for his lif—

I mean: Fuji left and ran FAST.

All this while wearing a calm and composed smile, of course.

After he left, Yoshiko continued to stare at the door. Did he really not know? Was he so much in a hurry to not realize what today is?

This wasn't part of the plan, but it might just add to the fun. Speaking of it, where was Yumiko anyways? Well, she'd deal with her later.

Smiling to herself, she secretly wanted to see her son's reaction when it finally hits him. And as she puts aside the special dish she made for Syuusuke (Hint: it involves a lot of wasabi, I guarantee), she unconsciously whispers to nothing:

"Happy Birthday, my Syusuke."
