Oh. This is a shoty, guys - so I'll update another time this week. Just wanted to get this up.
More in sight, but this time from Fuji's perspective - can be compared to 'Fuji's Interlude' from Capture! But this was actually the first one I wrote.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed!! And anyone else who reads my stuff as well!! I appreciate it!!
Fuji didn't hate Oishi.
It was hard to hate Oishi, because Oishi was kind and intelligent and sometimes a bit of a mother hen - but it was always for the best. Besides, it wasn't as though Oishi had ever actually done anything to him on purpose. He was supportive of Tezuka and Fuji's relationship and completely comfortable with both of them and tried not be intrusive. Oishi was fine as a person - no it was his effect and just being around that made Fuji frustrated. Because Fuji knew as much as Tezuka loved him now - Oishi would always be Tezuka's first love.
It would be sweet if it was anyone but his boyfriend that constantly hung out with Oishi, took him out places and was generally fascinated with his very presence. But it was Tezuka who was doing these things and it drove Fuji crazy. Not that Tezuka ignored Fuji - he made sure of that himself. But when he first started going out with Tezuka he had set a goal - he would keep Tezuka all too himself and they would spend all their time thinking about each other and everything would be perfect. Because that was what Fuji wanted and that was what Fuji was going to get.
He hadn't realized the depth of feeling Tezuka had for Oishi.
He may be a genius, but he had completely missed the mark when it came to Tezuka's feelings for Oishi and Oishi's feelings about Tezuka. But mostly Oishi's feelings about Tezuka because as far as he could tell - Oishi was completely oblivious. It was incredibly hard to hate someone who just didn't know and incredibly painful to watch his boyfriend struggle through the fact that Oishi felt absolutely nothing for him. It should have been a good sign - all things considered - but it only succeeded in making Fuji confused and thus even angrier. He became intensely fascinated with Oishi, trying to study and figure him out. Was he really as good-hearted as he put on? Did he secretly keep Tezuka strung along out of pure spit? He found himself spending more time with both Tezuka and Oishi and soon spending time with just Oishi.
It happened gradually - him liking Oishi. At first he did it to find a way to cut Oishi off from Tezuka and find his core weaknesses. Whether Oishi knew this or not - he wasn't sure. But Oishi seemed to enjoy Fuji's presence and soon he wasn't just a schoolmate or teammate they had become friends - maybe even good friends now. It was hard to feel threatened by Oishi - who whole heartedly agreed with Fuji's relationship with Tezuka and wasn't afraid to tell embarrassing stories of Tezuka when he was young. Soon his relationship with Tezuka blossomed into his relationship with Oishi and it seemed like something had clicked.
The final point in a perfect triangle.
I swear I'm not cheating you~
