PAIRS: Echizen Ryoma/Fuji Shusuke/Tesuka Kunimitsu
Tezuka approach him too and put his hands over Ryomas so that he would know that he was there too.
After a little while Ryoma finally stop crying and because of the fatigue of crying he fell asleep in Fuji's arms. Tezuka took Ryoma in his arms and carried him back to his room with Fuji opening the doors for him.
CHAPTER 3
When Ryoma finally wake up, he pulled himself in a sitting position on top of the bed. He was once again in the hospital room, and he was alone. At first he didn`t remember how he had come back to the room, but then he start to remember the roof of the hospital, how he had felt so safe in his sempais arms, and finally the argument with his parents.
He felt how his cheeks were getting hot, he was blushing, it was so embarrassing- He had cry in his sempais arms.
A few minutes after he woke, he heard someone knocking on the door, honestly he didn`t want to see anyone, all he want was to be left alone and to forget what happened. But the person at the door did not expect an answer and opened the door. To his surprise the ones knocking on the door where Tezuka-buchou and Fuji-sempai the same sempais that had brought him to his room and comforted him the day before.
-Echizen how are you feeling?- Fuji asked with a warm and concerned voice, at the same time that he approach the right side of the bed while Tezuka approach the left side.
Ryoma turn his head down looking at his hands that where holding the sheets of the bed. He wasn`t brave enough to look them in the eyes, surly his parents would have told them already what had happened to him and he didn`t want to see the disgust or the pity in they`re eyes.
-I`m fine- he answer in a soft voice almost whispering.
-If you want to talk you know that we are here for you, you are not alone- Tezuka said putting his hand on Ryoma's shoulder to comfort him, even if Ryoma was trying to be strong, they knew that inside he was crying for someone to be there for him.
-Tezuka is right, even if we don't know what happened we are here for you, and nothing will change that- Fuji said.
Ryoma felt something warm spreading in his chest, but he didn`t understand the meaning, ¿why was he feeling like that? They were only his sempais and nothing more.
-thanks but I`m fine- Ryoma didn`t know what else to say so he only thank them- He didn`t want them to know what had happened, it was enough that his parent already did.
For several minutes they didn`t said anything and an uncomfortable silence settled, Fuji and Tezuka turned to look at each other's with a worried look, they didn`t know what to do.
-I think it's better if we leave- said Fuji standing up, he took Ryoma's hand -you know that if you want to talk, even if it's nonsense you can give us a call- when he finished he let go of Ryoma's hand.
-it doesn't matter if it's at midnight – Tezuka said just as he was following Fuji out of the room.
Before the door close they hear Ryoma's voice "Arigatou sempai", that phrase put a small smile in their faces, at least they knew that Ryoma had been listening to them.
After his sempais have left the room, he decide to go back to sleep, he was still tired and he didn`t want to have another argument with his parents.
ER/FS/TK
The next day Ryoma finally accept to talk with his parents, he didn`t want to remember but his sempais words about him not being alone help him decide to talk with his parents.
He told them everything, since the walk home to how he was feeling, at the end his mother, his cousin and him were crying, Rinko was in Nanako´s arms, while Nanjiro pick Ryoma up and sit down on the bed with him on his legs whispering comforting words.
After they calm down, they finally convince Ryoma to press charges, even if he didn`t know the person, just with the description the police were going to have something to focus the investigation on and find the person responsible, so that he wouldn`t hurt anyone again.
-Oto-sama – Ryoma turn to look at his father's eyes with tears falling down his face and said in a scared voice, like when he was 6 years old – would … would you be with … with me when they come?
-of course I will little one, I will not let your side even for a minute, I promise – Nanjiro smile tenderly, a face that Ryoma haven`t seen him make in a long time.
In that moment Ryoma was feeling safe and happy, and he remember what Tezuka and Fuji- sempai told him "you are not alone", and that brought a small smile to his face.
ER/FS/TK
The same day latter in the afternoon, he talk with the police once again describing the events but letting out the way it make him felt, the only ones there were his father and him, he didn`t want his cousin and mother to listen to him describing even the minimum details.
It was hard talking to the police, he was in his father`s arms for support and when it became too much he stop till he was under control again, in all the time that it took, his father never left his side and when he was upset he would whispered comforting words in his ear.
It took more than an hour but when he finally finish he felt so relieved, it was really hard but thanks to his father he did it, and the police told them that they were going to be informed if anything new came up.
That night Ryoma slept in his father`s arms, that didn`t stop the nightmares, however every time that he wake up his father was there to calm him down, never leaving him alone.
ER/FS/TK
Two days later the doctors left him out of the hospital, every day his team mates have visit him and to his immense pleasure Fuji and Tezuka were always the last ones to go.
No one knew what happened except for his family, they all thought that he was attacked on his way home as a revenge of his father, even thought Tezuka and Fuji suspect that there was more to it, they never asked.
The next day he went back to his routine, waking up, having breakfast and then going to the tennis club and to school, and at the end of the school day going with Momoshiro and Eiji to eat Hamburgers. The only think that change was that every morning his father took him to school and he never went home alone.
ER/FS/TK
After a week has passed after being released, it was Tezuka's an Fuji's time to take Ryoma home, it was a little awkward for him, since the hospital something change between them, he didn´t know if it was good or bad but something did change.
After the long and awkward walk home with the heavy silence. they finally arrived.
-Tadaima / Ojama shimasu – they said while entering the house.
-Okaeri Ryoma-san, dinner will be ready in half an hour- her cousin welcome him back from the kitchen, when she arrived at the door she was surprised that Ryoma wasn´t alone –oh! I didn´t know you were going to bring someone over today, do come in please, ¿can I offer you something to drink?- she said to Ryoma's sampais
Both of them ask for a glass of water and then they follow Ryoma to the living room, not to long after Nanako brought the glasses and a ponta.
-Would you be staying for dinner?- Nanako asked them with a smile
-No thank you, we do not want to be bother – said Tezuka while Fuji nodded in agreement.
-it's not a bother I … it would be a pleasure- Ryoma said looking at them with a hint of hope but shy, a small blush could be seen in his cheeks.
The truth was that Ryoma had been trying to talk to them since he was released from the hospital but he never got the chance and now would be the perfect time.
-well if you say that then it would be a pleasure to stay- said Fuji with a very sweet smile on his face, and to Ryoma's surprise, Tezuka was smiling to.
-Then I will let you know when dinner is ready- said Nanako while she was heading for the kitchen.
After some seconds of uncomfortable silence Ryoma took a deep breath and then he start talking – I want to … eto … I want to thank you, if … if it hadn't been for the both of you I would never had talk with my family- Ryoma was really nervous, and that was making him feel vulnerable and insecure.
Fuji kneel in front of him and took his hands, while Tezuka was behind him with his hands on his shoulders – you have nothing to thanks us for Ryoma, you are really important to us and because of that we want you to be happy- Tezuka told him.
-Kunimitsu is right Ryoma, we are really happy that you listen to us about talking to your family, we know that they adore you.- said Fuji in agreement with what Tezuka was saying.
-Even if that is true i want to say it, thank you Tezuka-bouchou Fuji-sempai- said Ryoma with a very beautiful blush. –But there is something else – Ryoma said when he saw that Fuji was going to say something.
-I … well I … even before of what happen … well I … daisuki da yo – at that moment Ryoma was looking at his lap like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Tezuka and Fuji were surprise with the confession, they never expect Ryoma to confess, and because of that they didn't know what to say. After some minutes in silence Ryoma start to feel really nervous and start to regret it –"I shouldn't have say anything, now they are going to hate me"-
Ryoma start talking, steel with his eyes on his lap –I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything, forget what I said, I don't know what I was thinking- he try to leave the room but two pair of hands stop him.
-Ryoma wait- Fuji took Ryoma's face in his hands forcing him to look at him –it's not that we don't like you too Ryoma; it's just that you took us by surprise-. Ryoma was shocked by that.
-Does that mean that both of you …?- he couldn't finished because two pair of arms took him by surprise when they wrap around him from behind, he knew that they were Tezuka's arms.
-Shusuke is right Ryoma, since you first came to the club, you start to break into our hearts, at first it was only respect and friendship, but little by little it was transformed in to love. We have been talking about telling you of our feelings, but then everything happened and we didn't want you to become overwhelmed- Tezuka put a very sweet kiss in Ryoma's forehead.
Ryoma give them the most beautiful smile, it was so sweet. He couldn't believe that they felt the same way, that they didn't hate him or felt disgusted by him. But the most amassing thing was that they have like him for some time now.
In that moment Fuji put a very tender kiss on Ryoma's pink lips, it was short but very sweet and was able to transmit all that he was feeling in that moment. The moment Fuji let go of Ryoma, Tezuka took his chance to kiss him too.
Ryoma felt how different they're kisses were, both of them had been short but tender; the only difference was that Tezuka had put a little more pressure.
None of them noticed how Nanako was watching them from the door with a very pleased smile, his little cousin deserved to be happy more so now after the horrible events, she was sure that this was going to help him overcome his trauma.
ER/FS/TK
After two months since they have been going out, it was time for them to meet the parents. They're family's have accept their relationship even from the start. They have been planning the event for a week, it was going to be in Ryoma's home because of the room, it was bigger and more comfortable.
Between Nanako and Rinko they organized the dinner, Nanjiro have been in charge of the cleaning and for the first time he didn't complain and did a good job.
Ever since that night when he nearly lost his little boy, Echizen Nanjiro changed, he looked for things other than tennis to spend time with Ryoma. The only thing that didn't change were his women magazines.
That day from Tezuka Kunimitsu's family there were his father Kunihasu, his mother Keiko and his grandfather Kunitaru. From Fuji Shusuke's family there were his father Shintarou, his mother Nanami, his older sister Reiko and his younger brother Yuuta.
It was a very enjoyable night for everyone even if it was a little embarrassing to the three lovers because of the stories that their parents decide to share about them.
They were all very happy, everything went well, after something bad there is always something good.
Apart of their families his team mates from the tennis club were really happy for them. Momoshiro and Eiji were always teasing Ryoma making him blush after every time Fuji would give them a very scary smile making them run for their life's, leaving the other members of the team in laugher.
The only ones that were not happy with the relationship were Sakuno and Tomoka, for Sakuno it was a rather sad thing, and for Tomoka it had make her angry and jealous.
