Jet Lagged
Fuji pov
'I don't know why you left...but if your reading this...I still love you. I'm dating Seichii now but if I had to chose between you and him, it would be you no matter what. Please Ryo just talk to me. That night, the night you left, Seichii came to me he wanted us all to be together...like you wanted. Please, I don't understand...it jus-it hurts, o.k. It hurts so bad. Tell me. Why did you leave with Atobe? Please Ryo just talk to me. I love you. I love you so much.' I sent that same text every morning at 7 on the dot. Everytime... it hurts just to know he's out there...and he doesn't love me.
I feel arms tighten around my shoulders. I hastily shut my watered eyes.
"Is it seven already. You don't have to hide from me, Syuu". Seichii began as I stood to walk out of our dorm.
I turned with my smile in place,"It's not the same without him Sei, I'm sorry. I love you, I really do... but it's just not the same."
Ryoma pov
"Kevin are you sure you can watch him". I couldn't help but voice my fear as I laid my jet-lagged, sleeping so- brother on the couch in Kevin's office.
"I solemnly swear that I shall bring no harm to mini Echizen". Kevin said jokingly as he made a mock salute.
"I may not like kids...but I love this kid, he's special. Also while your teaching, I'll call the tennis team to tell them their new coach is here." I wonder whose on the team here. I couldn't help the shiver that ran down my spine.
"Ha ha...this might be funner than I thought. Well I'll see you later Kevin." I stooped low to peck Ryuu's forehead, then I walked out the door sending a wave behind my back
As I began nearing my soon to be class room, I could hear a few conversations.
"I wonder who the new teacher is.."
"I don't know but he's probably super old." I froze at the door listening to the class.
'I am NOT old. What a stupid stereotype. Maybe I should give out a ton of homework, nope, popquiz..first day yup, wow their gonna wish they didn't call me old." I chuckled maniacally in my head.
'Wow I'm starting to think Syuu's sadistic side really rubbed off on me...I mean Fuji...I mean DAMMIT..Even in my thoughts.'
I almost growled out loud at the thought when a student ran into me, I realized he looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't pin point from where. I was glad for the interruption as I internally face-palmed at my lack of non- chalance. He scoffed as he passed me.
"Move out of the way freshman". I smirked as I walked through the door frame, and flopped down on the teachers chair. The entire class ceased all conversations and stared at me in bewildered shock.
"Hey freshman you can't sit there" I sweat-dropped as I remembered the student. Ahh, Sasabe, the guy who coulden't get his grips right...hmm this could be fun.
"Why can't I sit here". I stated as I tilted my head to the side innocently, but I couldn't suppress a chuckle.
He was about to come and punch me when I decided, fun was over.
I stood and took the cap off my head and smirked as I heard some girls, and a couple guys swoon and yell,'kawaii'.
I chuckled out loud before I walked around the desk. I stood in front of the class looking at everyone and was surprised to recognize no one. Untill I realized the class was only half full.
I frowned slightly as I leaned back, against the desk. I placed my forefinger on my chin as I contemplated where my students were. Ahh of course, Kevin..meeting..tennis team , that must be it.
"Who are you?" A particularly annoying voice said , I looked up to see a bushy browed, uni-brow looking monkey. I laughed internally at the sight.
"You can call me sensei". The classes mouths dropped in unison, it was like a flash mob without the dancing.
"Now can you tell me where the rest of my class is." Sasabe began sputtering before he walked up to me, attempting to grab my collar.
I sidestepped him , grabbed his upraised arm and bent it behind his back, and pinned him against the chalkboard. I leaned in to whisper in his ear.
"Have you gotten your grips right yet? If not, I would be more than willing to teach you... again. At least now, I would have the proper qualification, and get paid for it." I heard Sasabe gasp.
"E-Echizen."
"Shh, secret Sasabe, don't tell anyone, just call me sensei." He stumbled away from me and bowed in shock.
"I'm so sorry to have doubted you, please accept my apology." I smirked, sometimes it paid to be the most powerfull tennis player.
"Of course, now go sit in your seat." I waved my hand dismissively at Sasabe.
"Hai, sensei." The entire class sweat-dropped as Sasabe returned to his seat, and stared at their teacher with awestruck eyes. It was borderline stalker. He sat ram-rod straight, with a blissful, obediant smile on his face.
Like a little puppy, with his tail going back and forth.
-Fuji pov-
"That was awesome, nya. We beat them and our captains didn't even have to play." Eiji said as we exited the bus.
"I wonder what Kevin-kun wants us for, nya". A jumping Eiji said as the entire team headed towards Kevins office. Oishi tried to stop his jumping but failed.
"Eiji you should really calm down. What if you pull a muscle?" Oishi fretted before a bubble gum popping interrupted him.
"Then we can all laugh at his cotton -candy head". Marui said in an uncaring tone.
Eiji looked ready to pounce, when I placed my hand on his shoulder. He visibly calmed as I smiled serenely.
"Ahh..Kuso, you're so loud, shut it." Kirihara exclaimed.
I was about to hit the red-head and Bakaya for - when I cought a glimpse of emerald.
"No way. It can't be." I was shocked as I stood in Kevins office. My eyes flashed open. There on Kevins chair slept a child. His hair it-it. I reached out a hand and ran my fingers through the childs hair.
I couldn't stop the feeling of love that came with it. All those memories...all of it.
I felt Sei come next to me as we both kneeled beside the sleeping child marveling at his emerald tinted hair. A cap was half on his head, and half off, and I couldn't help but wonder. I closed my eyes, as I thought.
The child began to stretch, when Eiji bent his head to see him. All the regulars flocked around the peaceful child.
"Sugoi, h-he looks like".
"He's soo Kawaii, Nya!" Exclaimed Eiji.
The child lifted open one eye lid, as he rubbed the remnants of sleep from another. He leaned forward and gripped Eijis head and pulled him towards himself. The child mumbled.
"Neko-chan, shhh...sleepy time". Eiji's smile widened and he purred as the child began to rub his head. I chuckled at the cuteness of the child, and his eyes snapped open.
My jaw dropped as my eyes snapped open in shock. I stared into a pool of hazy molten gold. The child smiled a breathtaking smile and jumped at me.
"You're so pretty, can you be my new mommy? Daddy would love you. You're so Kawaii." I held the child still in shock when I heard Seichii clear his throat.
He reached out to turn the childs attention away from me." I don't think that would work".
The child turned away from me seemingly reluctant, and faced Seii. His jaw dropped as he saw Seichi and I couldn't he;p but chuckle at his cuteness.
"You can be my mommy too, You're both so kawaii." The child exclaimed as he pulled us both into a hug.
"Daddy's kawaii too, but he won't get me a mommy." He crossed his arms as an adorable pout formed on his lips.
He let go of Sei and began burrowing his head into the crook of my neck, marveling at the warmth. The door to Kevins office slammed open.
"What the hell are you doing, Fuji". The child jumped out of my arms and ran to Kevin.
"Kevin!". Kevin opened his arms just in time to catch the running child. He walked around the desk and sat in his chair as the child burrowed his head into his neck.
Kevin began to pet his head as the child giggled and the he fell back asleep. He looked up to face us with a blissfull smile. It morphed into one of suspicion.
"Who woke him up". I closed my eyes and chuckled as I rubbed my head ruefully.
"That'd be me I guess". I heard Kevin sigh and I stared at him.
"It's just... he's still jet-lagged. I was hoping, he'd be over it by now...but nope still as lazy as his dad". I looked at Kevin with open eyes.
"Jet-lagged?" I questioned.
"Yeah, they just got in at 6:30 this morning...i'm just babysitting."
"Oh." Was the collective response.
"Anyway are all the captains, vice captains, you know every one here. Lets see...hmmm. Tezuka, Yukimura, Sanada, Yanagi, Hiroshi, Fuji, Marui, Kirihara, Kikumaru, Oishi, Kawamura, Momoshiro, Kaido, Inui,Sengoku, Shiraishi, Kentaru , Niou, Chitose, Tachibana , Kamio-"
"Okay we get it were alot, can you just tell us what you called us here for." Marui said impatiently as he popped his gum.
Kevin dropped the list in front of him and leaned back on his chair, as he held the child to his shoulder. I watched how Kevin smiled a genuine smile, looking down at the child in his arms.
"Kevin, if you wouldn't mind me asking-". Kevin peeled his eyes away from the child to glare at me with a hardened expression.
"Actually I would mind, cause frankly, I don't like talking to you. Especially after what you did, I only just tolerate you." Kevin said as his voice turned steely. I felt Sei's hand on my shoulder.
"That's a little harsh, Kevin-kun." Sei said since I couldn't seem to find my voice.
"Oh and Ryo seeing what he saw wasn't." Kevin said bitterly.
"What, what did he see". I said desperately, trying to know what I did wrong.
Kevin stared at me patronizingly but was interrupted by Tezuka.
"Enough, what is it you called us here for?" Tezuka stood behind me with his arms crossed, with an emotionless mask.
Kevin looked at the sleeping child for a few moments...trying to collect his thoughts, before he responded.
"You're new coach is starting today. You'll meet before practice. Make sure you assemble by captains, so the full team is visible. From there, I don't know what he plans." Kevin rubbed his temple as he dismissed us. He stood and placed the child back on the couch, and pecked his forehead.
I stood hesitating in the doorway.
"Kevin." He turned to face me, and kept his eyes lowered.
"I'm sorry Fuji, I could see... how much you're in pain." He looked at me with determination.
"But it's better this way, trust me." He said almost pleadingly.
"How old is he Kevin". He looked at the child then at me with pained eyes.
"He's a little over two years old." 'No that's impossible, if he's really his-'
"Fuji, you should go now, it's lunch time."
-Ryoma pov-
"Did you still want that album."
"Ryoma-sama?" I smirked at the incredulity.
"The one and only." I chuckled.
"Of course, when can you come in to record it?"
"In two days."
"And the tour".
"In three months, it shouldn't be an issue"
"Wow, how about your health. Are you sure this is safe?" My manager began to frett over me worse than Oishi- sempai.
"That's why it wouldn't be an issue. My surgery is in a month." I said reluctantly.
"I'll call you later with more details, untill then I expect this entire conversation to remain confidential. Ja ne." I hung up as I hunted for some place peaceful to relax. All the student traffic in the hallway started thinning as they all went to the lunch room.
I walked into the atrium, and sat on stage.
'Everything is so, much more different, than it was two years ago. Even so, I wonder if I can still sing this song. I guess it's meaning is just for someone else.'
I sat on a chair in the middle of the stage and grabbed a guitar. The melody was effortless. This song used to be so effortless. It feels like a lie now. I still love him, and the love we had then is what I'll sing this song with.
You can be the vodka and I can be the chaser
You can be the pencil and I can be the paper
You can be as cold as the winter weather
But I don't care as long as were together
I stopped strumming as I thought of the lyrics. I can't remember them, but as I thought of Ryuu...I remembered more.
Don't know if I could ever be
Without you 'cause boy you complete me
And in time I know that we'll both see
That we're all we need
Ryuu is all I need, Why do I need a cheater anyway. I hope he's happy with whoever he's with now.
Cause your the one for me
And I'm the one for you
You take the both of us
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
Were all we need. I don't need a lover. All I need is Ryuu. After all, it was only Ryuu that stood by me in that hospital.
"Ahh, now I remember!"
You can be the peanut butter to my jelly-
-Fuji pov-
I was walking with Sei when I saw Kevin leave his office.
"Is daddy done yet...can we go find him?" The child stood near Kevin pulling on his shoulder forcing Kevin down, to speak with him.
"I'm not sure where he's at but lets go look for him. Knowing him he probably found the atrium." He lifted the child and they walked past us, not even noticing us.
I smiled at Sei.
"Should we follow them." I said with closed eyes, as Seichi smiled back.
"How about we just walk to the atrium and see who we see."
"Of course." I grasped Seichii's hand and all but ran to the atrium. As we approached I could here a guitar and a voice singing but the lyrics kept stopping.
Cause your the one for me
And I'm the one for you
You take the both of us
And we're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
We're the perfect two
Baby me and you
We're the perfect two
The song came to a close as Sei and I snuck into the back. On stage sat a man with a guitar across his lap and his eyes were closed. I gasped at the emerald tinted hair.
"Ahh, now I remember!" He exclaimed as his eyelids flashed open revealing wonderful golden orbs.
My heart ached as my eyes laid on Ryoma for the first time in two years. He began to strum the guitar once more, and opened his mouth to sing.
You can be the peanut butter to my jelly-
The door to the left of Ryo slammed open as a child ran through the door singing.
Peanut butter jelly time, peanut butter jelly time
Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly
peanut butter jelly with a base-
"Ryuu, I take it you're hungry." The boy now labeled as Ryuu ran into Ryoma's open arms and snuggled in. Ryoma chuckled at Ryuu's antics.
"Yup tousan, I want food." He stared up at Ryo and pouted. Ryoma just patted his head and stood.
My thought's at this point were completly jumbled as my eyes were open and my face was devoid of any smile.
"He- son..two; dad..Ryoma, how?" I felt Sei's hand on my shoulder.
"We should go Syuu practice starts in a few minutes."
'He left me, it wasn't anything I did wrong...he just didn't want me.' I stood from my crouched position and placed my smile back. I walked away from Ryoma and his...son.
