The Unrequited Series: Part One

"Hoi, are you in this class too?"

Those beautiful dark blue eyes.

He didn't know when he'd started feeling this way. Was it the time when he'd first looked into those beautiful eyes? Or was it the time when he'd been glomped and been told "Fuji, you're the best friend in the world!"

Maybe it was both.

He snuck a sideways glance at his catlike friend seated at the desk next to this, the latter busy doodling in the margin of his notebook.

Sometimes, he thought, he felt like throwing it to hell and just confessing to the innocent child-like face, because maybe, just maybe, he felt the same way.

After all, he'd always proclaimed that his Fuji was the best in the world.

He'd always told Fuji how much he owed him for saving him from the countless evil questions that sensei always threw him.

He'd always said in that innocent, sweet way that only he could pull off: "Fuji, we'll always be best friends nya?"

Eiji wouldn't reject him now, would he?

The bell rang.

Eiji stood up and grinned at Fuji even as the sensei was yelling out last minute instructions about homework. "Fuji, I'm just going to go get a curry bun okay? Don't start eating without me!" Then he cheerfully bounced away.

He smiled at his best friend's retreating back.

"Oops, sorry," a classmate mumbled as he knocked into Eiji's desk in his haste to leave, sending Eiji's notebook to Fuji's feet.

"It's okay. I'll take it," Fuji said with an easy smile.

He continued smiling after he had bent down to pick up Eiji's book, which was opened to the page he had been doodling on.

And he smiled still, even when Eiji came back and blushed pink upon realising that his notebook was open and his doodles were free for the world to see. "E-eh? Fuji….you didn't see….did you?"

He had just smiled.

"Nya, don't tell anyone Fuji please? It's so embarrassing! Especially not…you know…"

And he'd still continued to smile.

"It's okay. I won't tell Oishi."
