I do not own Prince of Tennis

Chapter 1

"Fuji-san, we are offering you this job because we can tell you have the potential for it." A voice said.

"Saa… I don't know if I would want to do that to my kohai but… I guess I'll help only because you're his parents and he needs this help." Fuji said to the two figures sitting across from him.

"Thank you Fuji-san."

"No problem… but what do I have to do exactly?" He asked.

"Make our Ryoma fall for you. We need you to keep him out of depression…"

"Why has he been depressed lately?" He asked

"He hasn't told you or your team?" Rinko asked quirking a brow.

"No… Why what happened?"

"You see, his boyfriend in America died." Rinko said

"Boyfriend?!" Fuji's eyes opened showing his beautiful cerulean eyes.

"Ah… I'm guessing now you should understand why he was never interested in girls." Nanjiroh grumbled.

"Saa…"

"Ever since he got the news of his first love's death… he couldn't take it… he trashed his room, ignored Karupin, and hasn't been eating…" Rinko said about to tear up.

"Don't worry Echizen-san… I will do my best to help Ryoma."

"Thank you… but please don't let him find out about us asking you to do this."

"I won't." He said getting up and leaving the house.

"I'm telling you this isn't a good idea." Nanjiroh sighed.

"Why not? This may help Ryoma get back on his feet." Rinko argued back.

"What if he finds out?"

"He won't."

"Don't tell me I didn't say so." He said lying back.

"Ochibi! Why have you been so sad?" Kikumaru said while glomping him.

"…Hn…." Was all Ryoma said not caring that he was even being glomped.

"Ochibi! Tell me!!!" Kikumaru whined.

"It's nothing."

"Yeah, Echizen what's wrong?" said Oishi, the mother hen, walking up to them with the rest of the regulars.

"I'm telling you it's nothing." Ryoma said pushing his cap down.

"We know it's not nothing… We could help you." Oishi said trying to persuade him to telling them.

"IT'S NOTHING!" Ryoma yelled angrily. He got out of Kikumaru's hold and walked out of the courts. Everybody stood there in silence, surprised that Ryoma yelled at them.

"Momo why don't you talk to hi-" Oishi's voice was cut off by Fuji.

"I'll talk to him."

"Ok…? Sure…" He said letting Fuji talk to Ryoma. Fuji smiled and walked away to where Ryoma was.

"Ryo-chan!" a voice called. I looked behind me only to find Fuji there smiling at me.

"What Fuji-sempai?"

"Call me Syuusuke." Fuji smiled.

"Why should I?"

"Because we're close aren't we?"

"No."

"Saa… We should."

"What do you want Fuji-sempai?"

"Syuusuke." Fuji corrected.

"Whatever just answer my question."

"I'm worried about you Ryo…" Fuji said almost chuckling at my reaction to the nickname given.

"I'm telling you its no-"

"Don't give me that crap. I know the reason why you're like this Ryoma... I talked to your parents about this." My eyes widened. Without noticing, my eyes were tearing up…

"Why…?"

"I'm truly sorry about your loss but I also care about you." Fuji said pulling me into his embrace. Once I felt my back touch his chest, I felt his arms tightened around me.

"He died… and I didn't even get to see him… I didn't even give him my last good-bye, a last I love you…why…? Why did he have to leave?" I cried…

"How did he die?"

"…"

"You don't have to tell me if you're not ready to talk about it."

"He had a heart problem… Seiji… His heart didn't work like regular ones do. The doctors tried to treat it but couldn't. They needed a donor… So I volunteered, but when Seiji found out… He got mad and told me not to. He said that I should live my life to the fullest and do what I love most even if it meant not being with him anymore. I didn't say anything but did as he wished. When I found out we had to move to Japan, I was mad, sad, confused. Why? Why do I have to move? I didn't want to leave Seiji's side but Seiji kept telling me it was fine and that he would be okay… He told me… keep doing what you love… even if he wasn't there with him. That was the last time I saw him… We didn't break up only because I thought I would come back to see him again… but… now… I can never see him again." I cried as I turned around and put my head on Fuji's chest.

"Ryoma… He won't be happy if you were acting like this… He wants you to be happy. Ryoma, you don't have to forget but you have to move on."

"How can I move on?! I loved him! He left me! How can I ever move on with this feeling still in my heart?! I haven't seen him! I haven't said my good byes! I haven't said I love you one last time! How the fuck can I move on?! How Fuji-sempai?!" I yelled looking straight into Fuji's now opened eyes. I felt weak showing Fuji this side of me… Out of nowhere, I felt a sharp pain on my cheek. I touched my now red cheek, and looked up to find angry cerulean eyes staring at me.

"Why did yo-" I was cut off by a pair of lips…

"I love you Ryoma…" Fuji said shocking me.

"Fu-Fu-Fuji…" I stuttered

"Syuusuke…" He corrected.

"Hn…"

"I will help you move on Ryoma… You just have to trust me…" Fuji said pulling me once again into his arms. I relaxed into his arms and nodded.

"I promise you Ryoma… I won't leave you." Fuji said kissing my head.
