Fuji walked out of the school. As soon as he did, he was surrounded by the paparazzi. He calmly smiled and waved as he continued down the sidewalk. Even though he had just become a model a few weeks ago, he was already popular among everyone.

"Fuji-kun, how does it feel to be an up and coming model?" one woman asked.

"How is it supposed to feel? I don't feel any different. I'm still just your average high school student," Fuji responded.

"Was there anything you liked to do in you free time before you began modeling?" another person asked.

"Hmm…tennis."

"How about your friends? What do they think about you being a model?"

"My best friend hates me now."

"How does your friend's reaction make you feel?" the female asked.

"I'm not that sure. I was just told it today so…I'm still not sure how react to the thing he said," Fuji stopped walking and looked at the mid-age woman. "I guess I should think about his feelings. I did drop out of the tennis club out of no where. It was rather rude of me. Maybe it couldn't of been helped."

"Fuji-kun…"

"Well, sorry, I think that's all the questions I'll answer today. I have to get home and do my homework. I have a lot of catching up to do. Bye bye," the boy ran off as cameras began to flash again.


"Eiji! Time for dinner," his mother called for the boy.

"I'm not hungry," he mumbled back.

"Eiji?"

"I said, I'm not hungry!" his voice became louder.

"Ok," she didn't even bothering asking if anything was wrong.

"Ugh!" Eiji squeezed his pillow in his arms. "I shouldn't be so frustrated about this. I shouldn't care about Fuji and what he wants to do. It doesn't even matter to me."

He began to flip through channels on the TV. Eiji wanted to forget everything that happened from that day. He didn't want to remember talking to Oishi or telling Fuji he hated him. Though, more than anything, he didn't want to remember the true feelings he has for Fuji. Every time he thought about them, he would begin to cry. It was getting harder and harder for him to control his feelings, but he was beginning to realize that he was already too late. Even if Eiji did admit his feelings to Fuji, he'd more than likely get rejected. Fuji only cared about modeling…nothing else. At least, that's what Eiji thought.

"Fine! I'll just forget about Fuji and tennis," Eiji decided. "I'll start over. I'll make friends who won't abandon me for modeling. No matter how hard it is…I'll forget about Fuji…and the way I feel about him…"


The next day, school slowly went by. Eiji sat in his classes taking notes. He had noticed that Fuji wasn't there. It was obvious that he must have been off modeling. Finally, it was lunch time. Eiji decided he'd go outside to eat seeming that it was such a nice day.

"Ah~! What a beautiful day," Eiji giggled as he sat in the grass. He opened his lunch and began to eat.

"May I eat with you?" Oishi walked up to the boy.

"Of course, Oishi."

Oishi sat down and looked around. "I would have thought you'd avoid being outside today."

"Why do you say that? It's so nice out. Why would I sit inside to eat?"

"Because of that," he pointed past a few trees. There were a few cameras set up and a group of people.

"So, Fuji is doing modeling today. It must be nice to be able to skip school for it," Eiji smiled and continued to eat.

"It doesn't bother you seeing this?"

"Not at all. I'm happy Fuji is doing things that he wants to."

"Eiji…"

"Yes?"

"You're lying again."

Tears began to form in the boy's eyes. Moving his lunch off to the side, he held himself close. "I should be happy for him…but I can't be. I hate it…I hate him…"

"You don't hate him, Eiji," Oishi placed his hand on Eiji's back. "If you don't talk to him about how this makes you feel, you're going to end up getting hurt."

"Can you keep a secret, Oishi?"

"Of course I can."

"I'm in love with Fuji…"

"What?"

"I've been in love with him since 9th grade."

"Why haven't you told him then?"

"Because…the last thing I wanted to do was ruin our friendship. I already did that though. I'm so selfish. I want him all to myself. I don't want to share him with anyone. Now…I can't have him for my own. Fuji now belongs to all of Japan."

"Eiji, don't think like that. If you don't say something to him now, he will become more distant. You have to tell him how you feel as soon as possible."

"The last time I tried to talk to him, I told him I hated him."

"It's going to be hard. Don't you think it's better if you yell and scream everything than never saying anything at all?"

"You're right, Oishi," Eiji let out a sigh and wiped away his tears. "How come you always know what to do?"

"I don't. I'm just trying to help you the best I can. That's what friends do," Oishi smiled.

"You're such a great friend!" Eiji embraced the other boy. "Thank you."

"It's nothing, really. We should get back to class," Oishi stood up and helped the boy onto his feet. "Remember, Eiji, I'm always here when you need someone to talk to."

"Right!" the two of the walked back towards the school building.


Fuji was given a break from his photoshoot. As he grabbed for his water bottle, he looked towards the school. When he did, he saw Eiji and Oishi hugging.

"I guess you don't need me anymore, Eiji," Fuji let his eyes open showing their icy blue color. "I should be happy for you though. Maybe we can both move farther away and forget about each other…"

"Syusuke-kun, are you ready?" a young woman smiled as she made her towards the younger boy.

"Sure."

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing. I'm ready to finish up the shoot."

Fuji began to pose as pictures were being taken of him. Unlike his normally happy face, there was some sadness to his smile. Eiji's love for Fuji might not be one sided after all.

NOTE: Woo~! Chapter two is completed. Hmm…did I take too long to update? Sorry if you think I did. Anime convention, video editing, other fics, and being sick. There, those are my excuses.

So far, it hasn't been explained how Fuji became a model. Well, once Fuji and Eiji sit down to talk (…argue?), this will be explained. Also, please don't think that I'm even hinting on this becoming a Golden Pair fic. Oishi's only here for a support system for Eiji (That's all Oishi ever seems to be in my fics. Sorry, Oishi~!).

I've been thinking for awhile now. I only write PoT fics for Dream Pair (FujiXEiji), Thrill Pair (FujiXRyoma), and Neko Pair (EijiXRyoma)…and every once in awhile ShinjiXKamio. Anyways, I was thinking I should make a fic for a different pair. I just don't overly like any other pairs. I mean…I might be able to do InuiXKaidoh…but I'm not that sure about that. I don't know. I should probably wait about even thinking about that until after I'm finished with at least one of my chapter fics.

Thank you for reading and for the reviews. I hope that you'll continue to read this fic until the very end. Thank you~!
