Summary: It's past midnight and Tezuka is still chatting with Fuji. The stoic youth is called away by his mother to accompany her somewhere. [TezukaxFuji]

Tezuka was lying on his bed, staring at the screen of his laptop as he typed up a reply to one of Fuji's inquiries. One would only imagine the surprise on the buchou's features when his mother entered his room.
She asked him if he could accompany her to pick up his father at some place since he had no other way to get home. Tezuka looked at Fuji's window before groaning inwardly. He agreed as she bustled out of the room to get ready to go in about five minutes.
Tezuka stifled a yawn as he relayed the news to Fuji. Earlier in the evening, he had found out that the tensai was being bothered by one of his classmates, and it made him the least bit uneasy about things. But he forced himself not to be. The bespectacled youth wanted to look forward to their date tomorrow (their arranged meeting on Monday).
Tezuka said his farewell to Fuji, who had said that he himself was sleepy already. He turned his laptop off and took his cell phone and strangely, Kurt along with him, stifling another yawn as he headed out to the car with his mother. He settled into the backseat and stretched his legs out. His mother just wanted someone to accompany her, so the buchou was not obliged to instigate any conversation. He figured that a little nap while he was there wouldn't hurt.
His mind constantly drifted off to Fuji, and what they would do tomorrow. 'Our monthsary on Tuesday… Let's make a good first celebration tomorrow…' he thought in his head before everything else drowned out and the stoic youth succumbed to sleep, his head resting against a pillow and his arms wrapped protectively around Kurt.

Tezuka stirred when they had returned home. He nodded to his parents before straying off to his dark bedroom, not bothering to turn on the lights and headed knowingly to his bed and slumped down onto it after taking off his glasses and setting down on the bedside table. "Syusuke…" he mumbled before drifting off to sleep a second time.
