Summary: She was the sweet girl of summer holiday who never failed to visit him and make him feel happier in his old, lonely house. Kunikazu had always thought that maybe, -just maybe- this one would be the perfect match for his grandson. How could he let them meet, though? He didn't know.
Notes: Hi! I'm back after a long while of not updating.
I hope somebody missed me.. *blushes and acts shy*
Well, the thing is, I've returned to college and we're already going ahead seriously, so my updates will be slower than my usual slow pace.
I wanna write a PU-L verse, but I have no plot in mind, so if someone could help me, I'd appreciate it. HaruMaru, MaruKiri, YanaInu, InuKai, ToriShishi. Those are the pairings, if you think of anything, please tell me.
Thank you for your kind words, my first four reviewers, they really made me happy, and I hope I won't disappoint you. Tezuka and Fuji will meet for the first time next chapter. I just wanted to show the relationship Kunikazu shared with the Fuji siblings.
I hope you'll like this chapter.
Please, let me know your thoughts.
Warnings: Genderbending, Fem!Fuji. Possibly, slightly OOC.
Time spent with the middle Fuji child, Kunikazu believed, was merrily priceless. Topping that, time spent with the three Fuji siblings was three folds the fun and merriment in the first case, having been familiar with them for over three years.
In his eyes, Fuji Yumiko was the semi-mother figure when their parents weren't with them, but she had her times when he fresh child in her would show and surface, and either bring fortune to the house or misfortune.
Fuji Syuusuke was the responsible older sister for their younger brother, and the possible disaster hat would befall on Chiba had she released all her aspects flowing emotions. Though in normal times (times spent with him include), she was the perfect, demure, pretty and sensitive maiden.
As for Fuji Yuuta, the poor boy, being the youngest after his two sisters, was the two females' toy. He was very often the victim to their teasing and playful jokes. And although the youngster showed irritation at those irks, he had once confessed- when it had been only him and Kunikazu- that he liked it when his sisters laughed wholeheartedly, even if it was at him. The boy cherished the two of them dearly.
But the most amusing times for Kunikazu were when the three of them were in exceptionally good moods and they would start telling funny stories or joking, laughing so deep and hard that their eyes would tear. Just as If they were drunk; nothing would make the least bit of sense, but it was an enjoyment for them, and for the old Tezuka as well, sharing everything and nothing, bonding over silly things.
That's why Tezuka Kunikazu hadn't refused an invitation of spending time with them, whether over dinner or just sitting around an talking.
…
The 'date' Fuji had taken him on was pleasant as always, and at the end of the day, they went back to the Fuji household to have dinner.
Kunikazu was walking with a straight back like the proud respectful old man he was, with a young chattering Fuji clinging to his arm to give the impression that she was his date. People who passed them gave them odd looks, because she was acting just like a real girlfriend that was dating someone fit to be her grandfather, but neither of them cared.
The walk home was nice, and once they reached the two-story house, Fuji left his arm to rush inside and invite him inside first thing. He nodded to her with a faint smile and went in, closing the door behind him then toeing off his shoes and placing them neatly aside.
"We're home!" the brunette called and they heard Yumiko's voice answering back with a welcoming. He followed Fuji with his eyes as she peeked through the living room then turned back to him with a secretive smile.
He knew that smile. It was a playfully evil one, and no doubt the victim was Yuuta to whatever it was that was playing in her mind. Kunikazu raised an eyebrow and moved to the doorway of the room where Fuji had tiptoed inside to find her standing behind an innocently seated younger brother, with headphones and a magazine.
Ah, so he hadn't heard them coming in.
And in a second, Fuji was printing a hard kiss on his cheek, startling him from his reading and making him jump in his seat before he tried vainly to let his older sister go, "N-nee-san!"
The middle child pulled back with a huge smile, "We're home, Yuuta!" but when she tried to give him a bear hug, he immediately sprang to his feet, magazine falling to the ground and headphones to his neck.
"Mou, Yuuta!"
"Okay, okay, you're home. Welcome back. What else?" from the corner of his eyes, the young boy noticed Kunikazu standing in the doorway so he bowed slightly in show of respect, "Hi, Tezuka-san."
"Yuuta-kun." The olderman acknowledged with a nod of his head then turned when he heard shuffling footsteps coming from the kitchen's way. Yumiko was there, still drying her hands with a towel with a smile.
"I hope Syuusuke didn't give you a hard time today." She said lightly and there was a protest of a whiny 'nee-san!' coming from the living room which both adults ignored.
"Ah. As always, Syuusuke's company was pleasant. Thank you for the invitation, Yumiko."
The brunette smiled wider, "It's a pleasure to have you with us, Tezuka-san. Would you like something to drink before dinner is set?"
"Cold water, please." And he followed her into the kitchen, smiling unconsciously.
Kunikazu took a seat for himself on one of the chairs around the table and watched as the young woman moved around with a glass to the fridge. "How are your parents?" he asked her.
"Oh, they are fine. They are coming back tomorrow, to be exact. Their trip this time took longer than it was meant to take, but everything is getting along fine." She placed the water-filled glass in front of him with a smile then turned to the oven, "I can't wait to hear from them again. They seemed pretty excited when I last talked to them and it's hard to get dad to talk that much about anything."
"I hope they come back safely."
"Thank you, Tezuka-san."
A few moments passed between in them in amicable silence, that much he was familiar with this family. Calling them by first names, listening to them talk about whatever crossed their minds and just being there with them. It all just came by time naturally and it just felt right when they realized that it happened.
When Yumiko started setting the pots on the table, Kunikazu volunteered to call the younger ones and went out to where he heard their voices in the living room, and the scene that he walked on in made his eyebrows rise in confusion.
"No use, nee-san! You can't beat me in this!"
"Uh! Yuuta, you're so unfair! Let me go!"
"Oh, yeah? Take this!" and the younger boy held both of his older sister's wrists in one of his bigger hands and started tickling her side with his now free one.
"Ah! No, let go!" Fuji started squirming and trying to kick his legs to make him stop, but when her eyes caught sight of the old man at the door, her tactics changed. "Ojii-chan! Save me!"
Yuuta's attention moved to the door at the call and it seemed like he froze for a second before trying to compose himself again.
"Yuuta-kun, you must not handle girls this way." Kunikazu reprimanded him softly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"Whaa?! She started it!"
"Syuusuke?"
"You must not handle girls this way, Yuuta."
Kunikazu looked at the brunette, "Were you the one to start this time?", but Fuji just smiled and added, "You'll never get a girlfriend that way, Yuuta."
The white-haired man sighed and stepped towards them when the youngest Fuji sibling let go of his hold on his older sister. He patted both their heads and said "Dinner is set. You don't want to keep your sister waiting, now, do you?"
And he witnessed as both their eyes widened and they gasped silently as they fought the urge to flee from the room to the kitchen. Kunikazu suppressed his chuckle and removed his hands then watched them run to where Yumiko and dinner were waiting.
He shook his head, amused, and followed them out in a more reserved manner.
"Hello?"
"Good morning, father."
"Good morning to you, too, my dear. How is everything going on with your family?"
"We're all good, thank you. We're missing you. How were you?"
"The same."
"I actually called to tell you that Kunimitsu and I will be coming to visit you next week, father. I hope you don't mind?"
"Of course not, Ayana. You're welcome anytime you want."
"Thank you. Would you like us to being for you anything with us?"
"Just Ayana's good news and Kunimitsu's smiles."
A chuckle sounded on the other line and the hint of a smile was evident in her voice, "Ja, we'll be seeing you next week."
"Ah."
"Take care of yourself."
"You, too, my dear."
And the phone call ended, leaving Kunikazu very satisfied and eager to see next week. It's been almost two months since he last saw his only grandson, and he missed him greatly, (and his parents, too).
A/N: Tezuka will appear next chapter and there will be plenty of meetings between him and the summer girl. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and will leave me some reviews?
Love you all.
