Chapter 10

-Few days later, Tezuka's apartment-

Tezuka walked wobbling toward the kitchen. His head hurt so much. He took a drink. He gulp in one go. His head still hurt. He searched the pills at the cabinet. Found it and eat it. He walked toward the couch at the living room. He slammed himself at the couch. His tilted his head back with hands at his forehead. Still hurting…

"Damn it, my head…"

Later, someone rang the bell his home. Its must be Oishi. Tezuka called him just a few minute ago to fetch him up. He didn't feel want to drive today. He walked toward the door and opened it. Outside the door were his friends, Oishi, Inui and Yushi.

"Tezuka, are you okay?" Oishi asked him worriedly as soon as Tezuka open the door. Tezuka knew Oishi was a caring person easily worried when his friend was sick or having problem.

"I'm okay, just a headache…let's go…we'll be late"

Tezuka gestured him hurriedly after he lock the door. Along the way to his training place, Tezuka shut his eyes to shove away the headache. Oishi kept the glances toward his best friend to ensure he was fine.

"Tezuka, are you sure?" Yushi asked, eyeing his friend.

"Yeah, I can accompany you" Oishi offered himself to stay with him.

"No need, Oishi…I just need a sleep …" After they were sure that Tezuka was fine leave alone. They went for the lunch. Suddenly his phone went off. Tezuka read the message from his trainer that he would be late and came at nine.

Tezuka was lying at the bench in his changing room with his arm at his face. He glanced at the clock. 8.00 am. The training would start in an hour. He had some time to sleep. He was about halfway to sleep when someone entered the room.

"Who is it? Oishi? Inui? Yushi?" Tezuka tried to guess who entered the room. He has no strength to lift up his arm to look who. His headache is killing him.

"Don't care who…if you guys try to check on me…I'm okay…so, leave me alone…"

"It's me!"

Tezuka rounded his eyes in surprise when he heard the unexpected voices. Fuji standing in front of him with his arm crosses at his chest.

"What...What're you doing here, Fuji?" Tezuka stuttered because he still in shock state.

"I was walking across your apartment when I saw you enter your car with Oishi-san helping you, so I am, well, little worried and come here to check on you" Fuji said, blushing.

"You... worried about... me?" Tezuka suddenly felt an unfamiliar energy ran into his body when he heard him. He removed his arm and sat up, looking at Fuji who was blushing. Tezuka let out a smile.

"Thank you Fuji, I am fine. I just need some sleep, I think." He said. Fuji looked up at him and nodded.

"Well, I better go home." He said. Tezuka nodded and smiled but it disappeared quickly and replace with confusion when Fuji held out his hand. Tezuka raised an eyebrow and looked up to him.

"Give money to go home!" Fuji said simply.

"WHAT?"

"Well, Tezuka. I was REALLY worried about you so I came here with a cab. You know what? Cab was so expensive today so it stole all my money. Now, I don't have any money to go home and if you don't want me disturb your practice, give me money so I can go home." Fuji said sweetly (^_^).

Tezuka sighed. 'He will make me bankrupt someday'(-_-;;)

Tezuka reached out his wallet inside his bag blindly since he closed his eyes because the new addition headache Fuji caused. He took out 10,000 yen and gave it to Fuji. Fuji's eyes widen.

"This is for me?" Fuji asked, surprised. Tezuka nodded. Fuji smiled brightly.

"Thank you Tezuka!" Fuji said before ran out the door. He spotted a small nice restaurant outside the building. He glanced at the money in his hand before walked to the restaurant to get some breakfast. The money was enough for him to buy something delicious and went home.

-Tezuka's training place, 11.00 am-

Tezuka closed his eyes when another headache attacked his poor head. He took a deep breath before opened his eyes and tried to focus. Meanwhile, Yushi and Oishi could see Tezuka looked miserable. They really worried about him and always asked Tezuka when he took a tome out so he could drink some water, but Tezuka still Tezuka, he never admitted it.

Inui stood up from his seat when suddenly the door was opened. Oishi entered the room in panic.

"Oishi…what're you doing here? Do you suppose to accompany Tezuka in practice right now?" Inui asked.

"Inui, do you have medicine…any medicine…" Oishi asked urgently.

"Huh?" Inui confused and curious what just happened to make Oishi like this." What happened?"

"Tezuka…he…he burning…and…collapsed…during practice"

"Where is he?" Inui asked.

"He's at changing room now, Yushi brought him there…"

They quickly walked toward to the changing room.

When the duo opened the door, they immediately found him lying on the bench. Yushi was talking to the trainer at the corner. Inui knelt beside him and put his hand at Tezuka's forehead.

Inui narrowed his eyes, it's hot…it's not an average hot…it's burning Hot…

"Inui, how is he?" Yushi asked Inui. Inui opened his bag and takes the medicine in his bag.

"He has a bad fever. He should rest for few days before he can train again."

It had been three days since Tezuka's illness. Tezuka was on the phone, talking to his trainer that he would take a few more days off. He needed to come home to Kyusu. Tezuka sighed when he realized that he had to bring someone to his parents' house.

"Tezuka, I heard that you will take few days off. Are you sure, Tezuka?" Oishi asked. He had rushed to Tezuka's apartment when he heard Tezuka would come to Kyusu.

"I am fine, Oishi. Now, let's go. We have to fetch someone up" Tezuka said, walking out the door. Oishi sighed.

"I really hope that he won't freak out."

-Fuji's apartment-

"Hai, uh, what can I do for you?" Yukimura asked, eyeing two strangers outside the door. His eyes widen when he recognized the tall man with glasses. There was no way in hell Tezuka Kunimitsu would come to his humble apartment!

"I want to pick Fuji Syuusuke up." Tezuka said, smiling at the blue haired man in front of him. Somehow, he looked familiar. Yukimura frowned. He never known Fuji was Tezuka's friend. How could that even happen? Yukimura glanced at Tezuka and Oishi. He nodded before let them in.

"I'll call him. Please sit down." Yukimura said as he went to Fuji's room after gave them another odd look.

Fuji was about to opened his room door when Yukimura suddenly yanked his door and stared at him oddly. Fuji titled his head.

"Why didn't you tell me you're friend with Tezuka Kunimitsu?"Yukimura hissed. Fuji's eyes snapped open as soon as the name was voiced.

"WHAT?"

"He's at the living room now. Syuusuke, why didn't you tell me?" Yukimura asked. Fuji bit his lips! Dam that guy! Why should he come here?(.)

"Yuki-chan, I-I don't know. He just came out one day and suddenly we became close and everything. I am sorry...!" Yukimura sighed.

"It's okay. I was just surprised."

"You said he's here?"

"Yeah, he said he came to pick you up." Fuji frowned, why should he pick me up?

Fuji's blue eyes widen in horror. Shit he had forgotten...!(O_O)

"Yuki-chan, can you tell him that I am not at home or something?" Fuji begged, using his best puppy dog eyes. Yukimura shook his head.

"I am sorry, nut no. He's waiting for you so just meet him. Fuji sighed and followed Yukimura out the room. He saw Tezuka was sitting at the sofa with Oishi by his side. Tezuka got up when he saw Fuji.

"Let's go!"

"I don't wanna!" Fuji said stubbornly, pouting and crossing his arms on his chest like a sulking child. Tezuka sighed.

"You promise to help me. Can I ask for your permission, um...?" Tezuka looked at Yukimura.

"Yukimura Seichi" Yukimura said.

"I want to take Fuji away for a rest of the weekend. Can I ask for your permission, Yukimura-san?"Tezuka looked at Yukimura who raised an eyebrow before turned at Fuji who was shaking his head.

"Well, its okay but makes sure you take care of him." Yukimura said suddenly felt like a parent who gave his daughter permission to go to a date.

"Of course, Yukimura-san. He'll be back in one piece."

-Tezuka's apartment, 07.00 am-

Fuji looked at his figure at the mirror and saw a young woman with honey brown hair, cherry red lips, and big round eyes. Fuji glanced at his outfit. He had a fake bust, and was wearing a pink top and tight black skirt. He dreaded looking into the mirror and loathed that fact that he allowed Tezuka to dress him up.

"Stop pouting you look hot," Tezuka said coming up behind him and checking him out once more.

"Do you want to get punched," Fuji replied glaring at the younger man. Tezuka laughed.

"No no Your voice doesn't compliment your appearance try it a little more high pitched," Tezuka reprimanded.

"What makes you," Fuji begun but stopped when he noticed Tezuka's glare.

"What makes you think that your parents won't be able to tell that I'm actually a woman? I mean just because your mother didn't recognize me long ago, doesn't mean your father won't recognize me." Fuji tried again this time high pitched. He glared when Tezuka dropped to the floor laughing.

"Because you're hot." Tezuka simply stated after his laughter died down. With the way they said it he wanted to know if he was hideous before but before he could open his mouth Tezuka already started speaking.

"Let's go. My parents are waiting at Kyusu" Tezuka said as he dragged the poor Fuji out of his apartment.

-Tezuka's parents' house, 01.00 pm-

Fuji looked at the big traditional house in awe. He never saw a traditional house this big before. Wow... Tezuka must be lived like a Japanese Prince. Fuji felt Tezuka grabbed his hand and they went to the front door and rang the bell. Barkings were heard and a lady came to open the door. She was beautiful with an elegant kimono wrapped around her slim figure. Fuji almost didn't recognize her until her eyes brightened and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Syuuki-can!" that voice, Fuji's eyes widen when he heard it.

"Uh- Ayana-san" Ayana broke the embrace and looked at him in the eyes. Fuji gulped when those dark brown eyes bored into his blue ones.

"I think you forgot that I have asked you not to call me that!" Ayana said. Fuji bit his lips.

"Um... M-Mum" Fuji said once again. Ayana's beautiful face lit up and brought him into a tight embrace again.

"Come in!" Ayana said happily before she dragged Fuji inside, leaving alone Tezuka at the door. Tezuka shook his head as he watched his mother fussed over Fuji. He felt like his mother loved Fuji more than him. She didn't even greet him and ask him to enter the house.

'I feel like my own mother has abandoned me' (T_T)

"Where're father and grandfather?"Tezuka asked.

"Oh, your grandfather is at the garden and your father is still at his office." Ayana said, finally noticing her own son. She was too happy of the fact that Fuji would stay here.

Fuji smiled happily when Ayana asked him to help her preparing dinner when Tezuka went off to see his grandfather. He felt like he had a mother like he used too. It didn't matter that Ayana thought that he was a female or Tezuka's girlfriend, as long as he could feel the love of a mother once again.

Fuji sat nervously at dinner. He could feel the stares from Kuniharu and Kunikazu. Kuniharu's stare was more curious and amused while Kunikazu's stared was hard, like he was watching Fuji's move and trying to find a mistake. Tezuka's eyes went from Fuji, his father and grandfather and back to Fuji again. He really hoped they didn't give Fuji a hard time, especially his grandfather.

"So, you're Kunimitsu' girlfriend." Tezuka Kunikazu said. Fuji found himself didn't have courage to look up. He nodded.

"Well, you have to prove that you're good enough for my grandson." Kunikazu said and he back to his meal. Tezuka let out a sigh that he unconsciously held. He looked at Fuji, who still hang his head and took his hand. He gave a reassuring squeeze. Fuji looked at him and gave him a smile.

-Next morning, Tezuka's room, 08.00 am-

Fuji opened his eyes and found himself staring at Tezuka's bedroom ceiling. Tezuka's mother insisted that they should share a room. Fuji turned his head to his left and found Tezuka was gone. Fuji took a shower and went out of the room and headed to the kitchen. He found Ayana cooking some food. The latter smiled when she saw the young man.

"Slept well?" Fuji smiled.

"Yes, Mum."

The woman served her a plate of food. Fuji jumped up, "I'm so sorry, should've helped!"

"It's okay. Just eat, ne! I want to show you something after this." Ayana smiled secretly.

-after breakfast-

"Mum, are you sure about this?" Fuji was in the middle of being dressed by Tezuka's mother. The latter was tying the obi that tightened the kimono. Ayana had insisted that Fuji would wear one of her kimono. Fuji was glad that he had an experience about wearing a kimono (a result of having many jobs) so Ayana didn't have to help him much that could blow his cover.

"I'm very sure about this. I wanted to see how it looked on you. You're so beautiful!"

"But," Fuji protested, "It must have cost a fortune."

"Which kimono doesn't?" She had a point. Fuji watched through the mirror as Ayana tied his hair into a bun with a kanzashi.

"Aw, you look just like a yamato nadeshiko!" the lady exclaimed. Fuji turned around and was surprised at how appealing it made him.

"There you go!" she had finished making sure that the kimono was well adjusted. "Now, could you make me some tea," she teased.

Fuji grinned, "If you don't mind it being a long process." Minutes later, they were both drinking tea in the living room.

"Tadaima," a masculine voice said.

"Okaeri," replied the two from the living room. Tezuka walked to the living room and surprised when he saw Fuji. He was mesmerised by the view of Fuji in a kimono. Tezuka made his way to the young man and grabbed him by the arm, making her stand.

"Let's go on a date."

"EH? W-wh-what did you–" Fuji stammered.

"Mother, don't bother making dinner for us! I'm taking Syuuki out!" he said to his mother who was watching them in interest.

"Alright sweetie, have fun!" She said, smiling sweetly.

"W-w-wait, Tezuka! I've got to get changed!" Fuji said, trying to escape from Tezuka's firm grip.

"Nah, you're fine as you are." Tezuka said, pushing Fuji into the car.

"But this is not fine, it's too fancy!" He protested.

"It's fine being fancy then." Tezuka said before turned on his car and both of them went off to one of the fancy restaurant n the town.
