THANK YOU FOR THE ANSWERS. HERE IS THE SECOND PART OF THE STORY.


"Yuuta, you must go home. Dad is coming back just for two days this weekends. And he wants to see you." Yumiko shouted at the phone. Fuji opened his shoes while listening to his sister's voice.

"This weekend, don't forget. I will not tolerate any reasons. Bye."

Yumiko nee san closed the phone abruptly without giving Yuuta a chance to answer back. His sister as usual is a woman with strict demand and policy. Fuji smiled. "I am home."

"Welcome. Oh yeah, dad will come home this weekend from Australia—just for two days and he needs to go Germany. So make sure you stay home this weekend."

"yes, nee san." Fuji smiled, putting his bag on the sofa. Yumiko came near and touched his face. "What's wrong, Syuusuke? Stomach ache?"

"your cake was too sweet."

"stupid." Yumiko slapped his brother's head jokingly and went into her room. They both know that no way in the world Fuji have a stomach ache just because some sweet food. Fuji's stomach has greater resistance than that. Fuji sighed.

Yuuta is coming this weekend. He is coming… and Fuji knows that he better not run away. It was a funny feeling. He wanted to chase Yuuta because he knows Yuuta will refuse him. But when Yuuta is coming to him… he has this feeling of wanting to run away from him.

It was all his faults.

He entered the bath. It was warm and comfortable. He soaked his foot; then slowly immersed himself into the hot rose-scented (from his sister's bath foam) water.

You are crazy, Aniki! I don't want to see you anymore!

Fuji splashed the water to his face. It helped him to reduce the painful guilt he felt now.

"Nii chan is beautiful!" Fuji could hear some imaginary voices of small Yuuta whispered those words in his ear.

Fuji smiled when he remembered small Yuuta who always running behind his back. And whenever Fuji turned back, Yuuta will smile and looked utterly happy.

"He,he… nii chan… you look at me!"

"Yuuta, why are you running? You can just ask me to wait and I'll wait for you, you know."

"Hehehe…." Yuuta always smirk gleefully and caught Fuji's backside T-shirt. "I love nii chan the most! Nii chan is so strong and beautiful!"

"Hey, hey… I am a boy too, don't call me beautiful. I prefer handsome."

"no! Nii chan is not handsome! Nii chan is beautiful! More than Yumiko-nee chan!"

"What did you say, huh? BRAT!" Yumiko nee san used to be angry with Yuuta whenever she caught him comparing Fuji with her. Their parents always laughed at the comical situation. Their father were still mostly spend time at home; their mother was still smiling all the time. A picture of the perfect family.

"I am not… beautiful. I am not." Fuji closed his face with both hands and immersed his whole head into the water.

It has changed a lot since then.

"Fuji; are you ok?" Eiji stared hard at his best friend. "You look paler and you haven't talk anything since morning."

"Yes, I am fine."

"You better go infirmary, Fuji." Tezuka suddenly added. "There is no need to go practice if you feel unwell; I can change your practice match time to tomorrow."

"No, Tezuka. I am fine. Really."

Fuji smiled; a tensai as he is, he will never lose just from lack of sleep. He smiled when Ryoma aims his racket at him. They precede the match.

Today, Yuuta is going home.

Fuji hit Ryoma's powerful twist serve.

Should I run from home? How should I greet him?

Ryoma lost the ball. Fuji served.

You are beautiful, nii chan.

Fuji didn't know where the ball was. The next second, a loud thump sound was heard and Fuji fainted with a big red mark on his cheek.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Fuji could see the hurt and anger in Yuuta's eyes.

"What did you do with that letter?"

"I disposed it since you have no use of it anymore."

"That's my letter! You don't have the right to do that!"
"I do. You said you love me; didn't you?"

"…It was long time ago when we were children!"

"But I still think it's true. Don't you? is that… how shallow your feeling was? After all I have done for you?"

"Done what?"

"I have protected you from all those crazy girls who wanted to get you just because they wanted to get close to me. I have been there for your support when mom and dad were fighting each other. I was the one who always take care of you. I always think about you first. What's wrong? Am I not enough?"

"Aniki, you are crazy!"

"You stopped calling me nii chan. You stopped following me. You stopped depending on me. You stopped… calling me beautiful…"

"Because you are not! You are crazy, aniki! I don't know you anymore!"

"What? I have never changed!"

"You did. You are scarier… and you are not beautiful anymore."

Fuji couldn't breathe. He is not beautiful… anymore…

"Fuji! Can you hear me?"

"Te…Tezuka…?"

"Just relax. You are still weak. Luckily the ball didn't hurt your brain. It's just a simple bruise." Tezuka sighed; softly patting his friend's hair. "I was panicked."

"You were?" Fuji couldn't help but tease his buchou. He knows he must pretend to be fine; otherwise he would start crying anytime soon. Yuuta related dreams were never good for him.

Tezuka flushed. "Well, yes. Because I was the one who set the practice match. I don't want you to injure yourself before the upcoming tournament."

"Well… thank you." Fuji closed his eyes. "How long have I passed out?"

"Almost 3 hours."

"Eh? That's mean it's already late!" Fuji immediately woke up, but due to low blood pressure, stumbled back again.

Tezuka put his arms protectively and softly around Fuji's back and waist. "I'll help you get up."

"..Thanks." Fuji; even though he didn't know why; blushed.

"I will take you back home."

"No, it's fine. I think I can walk…"

"Don't refuse. You are still weak. I will take the responsibility to make sure you are safe."

"…Tezuka…"

"Yes?"

"…" Fuji closed his mouth; the word 'Thank you' he was ready to say was swallowed back into his trachea.

Instead, he smiled. "Can you carry me princess-style?"

"… such a bother. Don't think you can aim that high." Tezuka chuckled, for a second. But he immediately put his mouth back to the original stoic position and nodded.

He carried Fuji princess style to home. The gate keeper was smiling when he saw Tezuka carried Fuji home.

"Am I light?" Fuji purred.

"No. you are as heavy as potatoes."

"Stupid." Fuji playfully slapped Tezuka's cheek. "Let me down. I can walk myself if I am that heavy."

"I have the responsibility to make you go back home safely. So let me do it in a way that I enjoy."

Fuji blushed. Is that means he liked to carry him like this?

Tezuka's stoic but red face shows the truth. Fuji giggled.
