When lunchtime was only minutes away, Eiji found himself swaying left and right in his chair. He knew that he had to talk to Fuji about the way he was feeling, but he was starting to get nervous. As the bell rang to signal the end of class, he quickly rose from his seat.
"Fuji, lets have lunch together."
Fuji smiled and looked up from gathering the papers on his desk. "Don't we usually eat lunch together?"
"That's true…it's just…"
"Is something wrong, Eiji? You don't seem like yourself."
"Fuji…" Eiji grabbed the slender wrist of the boy and pulled him out of his seat. He began to walk out of the classroom pulling Fuji behind him.
"Where are we going?"
"Just come with me."
Eiji made his way through the hallway and spotted a door. Nodding to what he saw, he entered through the door dragging Fuji along with him. In the room was a row of tan colored stalls along with sinks of an off-white color.
"Eiji, why did you take me to the bathroom?" Fuji questioned as his wrist was given back to him.
"Because there's no one in here," Eiji headed towards the back wall. "I thought it would be easier to talk with no one around…but I'm still not able to figure out what I want to say."
"You don't have to be afraid to tell me anything that's on your mind."
"Is there someone else…someone that you like more than me?" the taller boy looked down to the right. "If there is, I wish you'd tell me. If you want to be with someone other than me…you should just say something. I don't want to continue to go nowhere. I just want to know the truth!"
"Eiji, do you think I'm being unfaithful to you? Do you really think I would go behind your back and see someone else?" Fuji solemnly looked at him with his icy blue eyes.
"With the way you've been acting lately…I don't know what to think anymore," Eiji let himself slip down onto the ground as tears streamed down his cheeks. "I don't want to believe that you'd cheat on me, but I don't even know what you might be up to anymore. I love you, Fuji…I love you so much, and it hurts just thinking about the things you could be doing."
Fuji sat next to the boy and softly wrapped his arms around him. "I would never do anything like that."
"Then…why do I feel so lonely even when you're right here next to me?"
"I don't think I'm the one who can answer that, Eiji."
"Will you at least hold me for a little bit longer?"
Fuji's grip around Eiji grew tighter. "Sure."
The two of them stayed right there on the floor of the bathroom until it was time for their next class to start. Even thought Eiji felt completely alone with Fuji holding him so close, he was slightly relieved. He knew that Fuji was telling the truth when he said those words. The fear that Fuji was cheating on him was completely gone. Though, there was still the fear that their love was slowly drifting apart. Just like the snow on the ground would soon melt into nothing, would their love do the same? It was a thought that Eiji just could shake off. There were still so many questions he had yet to get the answers for.
NOTE: I know, this chapter is really short. I took forever to update and this is all I give you. Sorry, sorry. I hope you'll forgive me.
I have been terrible at keeping up with my updates lately. I've been so busy, and I'm so sorry that it's taking me so long to get chapters up. I'm going to try my hardest to keep up with everything.
As I said, this chapter is short. I didn't plan for it to be this way, but I decided I'd rather keep the next part for the next chapter. I hope you liked what happened in this chapter at least.
I've been announcing in all my updates that I have a poll in my profile. I don't think I've said it here yet, so…I have a poll up in my profile. Please vote in it. I'm trying to figure out what fic to write next (KaidouXRyoma, TezukaXKaidou, EijiXKaidou, OshitariXEiji, or a Fuji Family fic that has no pairing to it). All of them have story ideas to them, so I just need to see which one people would like more. After that poll is finished, I have more that I'll be doing because I have a lot of ideas lately. So many ideas…so little time. I can't wait until February because I'm going to write a fic for Fuji's birthday (I'm not that sure if it'll have a pairing to it or not though.). I need to work harder on what I've already started though.
Anyways, I'm really just rambling about nothing. I have no idea what I'm going to do for my next FujiXEiji fic. Or did I say I was going to take a break from this pairing after this one is finished? I can't remember. If I come up with an idea for them, I will probably write a new fic once this one is over. That reminds me, I want to start working on the sequel to "Senpai or Lover?" (My first Tenipuri fic to be posted.). That'll take some time though, but I know I had some reviews for that asking about a sequel or something like that. I don't know why I'm talking about this here though because it's totally unrelated to this fic (mainly because it's EijiXRyoma).
Oh, may I say something that made me get very embarrassed? I have a website, and I posted something in the forum asking for help on deciding which song to sing for a PoT karaoke contest. I ended up posting myself singing so they all could hear how (horrible) I sound. I was really shock when I was compared to both Kaida Yuki (Fuji Syusuke) and Minagawa Junko (Echizen Ryoma). I was kind of embarrassed, but extremely flattered at the same time (I love both Kaida's and Minagawa's voices.). Sorry, sorry…I was rambling about silly things again.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter (How did this note become so long?). Thank you for continuing to read this fic. It makes me know that the things I write can't be a horrible as I sometimes think they are. Thank you~!
