MY FIRST FUJICEST STORY.

"Fuji; are you ok?" Eiji smiled and waved his hands in front of his best friend's face. Fuji snapped back from his mind back to reality.

"Yeah, I am fine. Just daydreaming."

"Really? That's unusual." Eiji smiled. "well, since you don't seem to have much appetite, how about giving that cake for me?"

Eiji looked with adoring expression to the cake inside Fuji's bento box. It is a small shortcake; with strawberry on top. It is clear that the shortcake is made by Fuji's older sister. She made the best cake, it is a universal truth.

"Yeah, sure. Take it. I have lots at home."

"Heh? Why don't you bring them all here? I guarantee it will be finished in seconds by the tennis club members. Especially Momo and Ryoma, hahahaha…"

Eiji took the cake and shouted 'itadakimasu!' before eating the whole cake.

Fuji stared at Eiji. Her sister made the best cake; even Tezuka admitted that. but still, it is no good against Yuuta. Yumiko-nee san even put the strawberries on top, just like Yuuta likes. But Yuuta still refuse to go home. He even closed the phone before Fuji could persuade him further.

His mother looked so sad last night. She was sighing and looking at Yuuta's baby clothes. Yumiko-nee san was smiling and teasing her, saying that Yuuta is no longer the baby of the family. And to their surprised, their mother nodded and cried. Sobbing at Yuuta's baby clothes, she said softly, "I missed him."

Fuji felt guilty.

Actually nobody knows, but Fuji was the reason Yuuta refused to go home. Yuuta; even make greater decision to move into boarding house; are trying to avoid him.

Fuji knew it is all his faults.

"Fuji-sempai! Please be my boyfriend!"

Fuji smiled. This is another confession he had this month. He has average of 4 confessions each moths, and this month proofed to be no different. He smiled and shook his head. They all sent him letters and asked him to wait for them in various places; usually the rooftop or school backyard. This time he waited in backyard.

The boy in front of him was blushing; and he is a head and neck taller than Fuji. Fuji felt bitter. He is a sempai; but his body is smaller than average.

"I am sorry, but I don't think I will be a good boyfriend; I am sorry."

"I don't care! I love you as you are!" The guy (yes, it is a guy—Fuji has fans from both genders) kept his stand; refusing to receive the polite rejection from his idol. Fuji looked annoyed, but he smiled.

"I… Ok. When did start you liking me?" Fuji smiled, but his voice sound cool and stern.

"The first time I saw you in the tennis court! I am a junior this year; and when you were inside the court, you were…"

"I was…?"

"Sparkling before my eyes…because you are so beautiful even though you are a boy!"

"…beautiful?" Fuji smiled bitterly. "I am not beautiful at all."

Fuji turned around his body. "I am sorry. I have practice now."

The kouhai was stunned for a few second. The face Fuji shown when he said that was utterly mesmerizing; painfully beautiful. But he recovered and grabbed Fuji's arm. "No! Sempai! I will take no!"

"Let him go." Tezuka looked coldly at the kouhai. Fuji was surprised to find Tezuka behind the wall. Tezuka blushed a bit; embarrassed because he was caught peeping. But he still looked stern at the kouhai. The kouhai knew his place and let go, run away before Tezuka have time to ask his name.

"I assure you he will get more laps today."

"Thank you, Tezuka." Fuji smiled, while placing his hand on Tezuka's arm. "Why are you here, peeping me?"

"I am not. I just heard some noises and I thought I heard yours."

"…hmm. Interesting. So you can distinguish my voice from other's?"

"It's just habit, I think. Well, you are one of my close friend…"

"Thank you, Tezuka. I am saved. So.. let's go to the court."

"… are you ok?"

"hmm? I am fine. I am used t this kind of confessions."

"is that usual? a boy confessing to you?"

"Kinda. Mostly the ratio is 1:3; Male: female. I just got another confessions last Thursday from a girl."

"Was she pretty?"

"well, she is cute in a way." Fuji smiled. Tezuka looked green—but he still remain nonchalant; stoically walking beside Fuji. Fuji sighed. If only Tezuka and everybody know what happened… they will look down on him, for sure. They will despite him and it is scary… being alone without friends and family.

Fuji shivered despite the summer heat.

I AM ASKING SHOULD I CONTINUE?
