Chapter Two

(Tezuka's POV)

"TEZUKA!" every one cheered excitedly jumping up form their seats to greet him. It was like nothing ever changed, it was just like their school days all over again. No one asked where he was all those years. No one preyed into what made him come back they were all just happy to see him. Tezuka had never felt so wanted in this life, it was obvious they had missed him but no one judged him for running away, not that he could tell anyway.

Everyone enjoyed them selves immensely that night drinking till they passed out. Only few remained sober enough to walk, Tezuka and Eiji were among them. Momo had to carry Ryoma on his back, back to their hotel room, Fuji and Yukimura seemed to be unaffected by all the alcohol they consumed and walked home in the crisp night air. Inui had to close up shop for Kawamura and help Kaidou home after Eiji and Tezuka put Kawamura in bed. Tezuka was the charge with helping Ooishi home with Kikumaru tailing to keep him company. In truth Tezuka was wary of the company, he knew that Kikumaru would have no balls about asking certain questions. Questions Tezuka wanted to avoid at all costs.

"So….. Tezuka you have anyone special in your life?" Kikumaru asked glancing at him cautiously.

"Not at the moment" Tezuka answered. The two walked on in silence.

"Why did you come back here?" now these were the questions he wanted to avoid.

"Work" he replied in monotone.

"What do you do?"

"I am a P.I."

"A what?"

"A private investigator." The conversation ended their, neither one of them commented on anything after that. Once they got to Ooshi's apartment they took out a spare key form its hiding place and invited themselves in. Tezuka laid Ooishi on the bed while Kikumaru got some things from the kitchen. He walked into the room with an empty garbage pale, and a jug of water with a glass. He set the three items down beside the bed, encase Ooishi got sick during the night. With that they excused themselves and left locking the door and returning the key to its original spot.

Tezuka left in the direction of the hotel, wishing Kikumaru wouldn't follow.

"Why are u following me?" Tezuka found himself asking.

"I lie in this direction" Eiji explained solemnly.

"Is something wrong?" Tezuka pried slightly worried about the red heads mood.

"Why'ed you leave Tezuka? Why didn't you say good bye?" Kikumaru stopped looking at his captain right in the eye. Tezuka had to hand it to him from the look in his eye he knew Kikumaru wasn't going to back down. Even so Tezuka was stubborn and refused to give in easily.

"That is none of your concern." He stated flatly and continued on his way.

"You always we're cold, I just didn't realize we we're so expendable to you." Kikumaru muttered. Tezuka was slightly hurt by the comment; he didn't want to be hated by his team especially by Kikumaru.

"You guys were never expendable." Tezuka stated sadly. Kikumaru's eyes widened as he perceived the hurt tone in his voice.

"Ah ha ha, Captain lets go some where for a drink. I was only joking, jokes. My treat." Kikumaru made an attempt to lighten the mood.

"To be treated by a tennis star, how could I refuse." Tezuka chuckled slightly, surprising not only Kikumaru but also himself, he had never showed this much emotion in public before. And never before to his old team mates, he could never show feeling around them, to show emotion was to show weakness. He was always envious of Kikumaru he showed what ever he was feeling but was no means classified as weak.

"Oh Captain my Captain, lets go" Kikumaru exclaimed happily as he jumped off into the direction of a local bar. They ordered their drinks well into the night; Tezuka knew his limit and stayed within it. Kikumaru on the other had still had yet to learn that he was wasted after his 13 or 14th beer. Tezuka had to admit he had a high tolerance since he wasn't really wasted till his 11 or 12th beer, but everyone has a limit. Tezuka discovered Kikumaru's. Tezuka stared down on the smaller man, and couldn't help feeling a deep sense of happiness and contentment come over him, he had forgotten what it was like to be respected out of love and not out of fear, and he had forgotten what it was like to have friends.

"Tezukaaaaaaaaa. Whyed you leave us?" Kikumaru slurred as he tried to down the last of his drink. That statement brought Tezuka crashing back into reality. He had left them; he had run away from the people who trusted him the most, the people he trusted the most. He had run away, like a coward. The coward he was. For the life of him now he couldn't remember what drove him so far from them in the fist place. He loved it here he loved the country he loved his friends, and oh my god he loved the food. Sushi is always the best in the mother country no matter how hard he looked he couldn't find a great sushi bar in Germany. With that he decided he was going to move back here after his job was done. He was sure a P.I would be useful in Japan. He would just have to give it a shot. Even if it hurt him to be around Kikumaru, he would just have to deal. Maybe one day the spunky redhead would be his. He sighed happily and paid both their bills.

"Come along now Kikumaru, lets get you home." Tezuka said hoisting the smaller man on his shoulders. Together they stumbled out of the bar and onto the street. After walking for a bit Tezuka realised that he had no idea where Kikumaru lived, he doubted he still shared a house with his parents. Realising this he headed to a near by park and set him down on a bench and took the seat next to him.

"Kikumaru," Tezuka called as he tried to rouse the sleeping man.

"hmmmhmm… whhhaaaa?" Kikumaru hiccupped?

"Where do you live I need to take you home" Tezuka asked patiently.

"I doonnn wannnna go hommm." Kikumaru chuckled.

"Hmmm. Whys that?" Tezuka found himself asking, he this was all very amusing to him.

"cause you not there silly." Kikumaru stated happily -very drunkenly- as he snuggled into Tezuka's heat.
