A Long Way To Go- Chapter 2
Tezuka felt a surge of anger in him.
'Why was Syu with that guy?'
He squared his shoulders and turned to meet the white-haired man who strode towards them.
"Tezuka!" Saeki exclaimed as he stopped short in his tracks. "Er...Oh...I see...You met Syusuke..." He trailed off.
Tezuka's eyes narrowed.'What did he mean by that? Trying to hide Syu from me?'
Sensing the tension between the two men but having no clues at all what had happened, Fuji stepped between them and said brightly, trying to ease the suffocating silence, "Saeki! I think he is my friend," Fuji explained as he tilted his head towards Tezuka, making the latter think that Fuji was more adorable than ever, "But I am going to be late for work. Invite himto my house, would you? I'm sure Nee-san will take care of him." Before waiting for Saeki's reply, Fuji gave him a hug and waved goodbye before hurrying away.
Tezuka's eyes narrowed dangerously and his face frozen into hard immobility.
"It is not what you think," Saeki's words snapped Tezuka back into reality. He continued with a strained smile, "Let's go to Syusuke's house. I'll explain everything to you. Yumiko and Yuuta will be at home too."
Three months ago...
"Nya! You really like Buchou?" Eiji exclaimed happily, jumping around Fuji, still as hyperactive as ever, "Why don't you confess to him?"
"No...I can't. What would Tezuka think? Besides, Tezuka did not show any special interest in me..." Fuji replied, as signs of disappointment showed on his face.
Eiji sighed. What an irony. While Fuji was a tensai at everything he did, he could be an idiot when it came to relationships. It was obvious to everyone that Tezuka treated Fuji differently from the rest. His eyes would soften whenever he talked to Fuji. Eiji gave a cursory glance to his let where Oishi and Tezuka stood.
Oishi shot a quick look at Tezuka, who seemed even more tensed up than ever. Before he could even open his mouth, anger flashed in the vivid eyes of Tezuka as he snapped, "What is this? Trying to make fun of me?" Without waiting for Oishi's reply, Tezuka stomped off.
Oishi was amused.
"Since when did you lose your cool, Tezuka? It is obvious you like Fuji..." Oishi murmured to himself.
A/N: Thanks to everyone for the reviews. They are very encouraging to me! I really appreciate your efforts!
I think all of the reviews said that my first chapter is too short. So i will try to make them long for each subsequent chapter. )
