chapter 11

Tezuka took a quick shower and quickly changed into his school uniform. He wondered where Fuji was right now. He saw Fuji's bag from the corner of his eyes. He let out a deep sigh. Maybe Fuji had gone back home. His heart felt heavy as he left the room together with Fuji's bag, planning to drop it off at Fuji's house on the way back. He would talk to Fuji then and make sure he really knows how important he is to him. When he opened the door, he was greeted by someone. It was Nanaka.

"Nanaka….What are you doing here? You should head home now." Tezuka said in monotone, his tone was merely a statement that demanded her to leave. Nanaka had a hurt look on her face, both of her hands ware clutching her chest.

"…Tezuka-sama, please consider my feelings. I-I really like you, Please go out with me!" she had already broken into tears. Tezuka admired her courage to ask him out twice but sadly he would never fall in love with her, because his heart already belongs to someone else. Fuji….Tezuka wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. He could not wait to look into the beautiful eyes of his beloved and say all the things that he knew he has to say. But first he has deal with the situation he has in hand.

He looked at Nanaka's tear-streaked face and sighed inwardly. He felt really bad for having to do this. He has never been the kind of guy that would be okay with making a girl cry over him. His mother did not raise him that way. She has always taught him to be kind, gentle and respect a woman's feelings at all times. He has rejected many girls before but that was before the presence of Fuji in his life. Now that he had tasted the pure bliss called love he can imagine how painful it could be to be denied that feeling. There never really is a right way to reject someone's love but he guessed the best way would be to just tell the truth.

Tezuka looked at Nanaka. She was sobbing silently, her breath hitched. He placed his hand on her shoulder softly. "Nanaka san, I'm really sorry but I can't accept your feelings for me. I cannot be with you when I already have a special someone."

"You…you have someone?" Nanaka was taken aback by this confession. She never knew that Tezuka was dating someone. She never would have made her move if she knew that. It is really strange though, she thought to herself. The story that the stoic captain of the tennis club had finally found someone of his liking would have been a huge gossip and she definitely would have heard it.

"W-who is she?" she asked despite the sobs and voice that caught in her throat.

"I'm sorry Nanaka san but I can't tell you that." Tezuka replied.

Nanaka was now crying harder. She felt really stupid. All these time she had been in love with a man whose heart had already been claimed by another. She always thought she would be able to make him fall for her eventually but she was wrong. She could feel her heart breaking into a million pieces and she wondered if she would ever be whole again, if she would ever be able to love again. She threw herself to Tezuka and cried in his chest. She clutched his shirt hard and let out the sadness that she had been holding in herself.

Tezuka wanted to push her away. Having her leaning on his chest like that just does not feel right to him. That spot was reserved only for his blue-eyed angel. Tezuka knew he could not push her away when she was already so broken inside. He stroked her hair softly, calming her down.

…

Fuji wandered around the school garden, millions of thoughts running through his mind. This has been the place he always found himself going to whenever he had problems and needed some alone time to think things through. The garden was a beautiful place to him. Rows of flowers decorated the ground and there was a fountain right in the middle of it, but somehow nobody really hangs out there. And so he found himself alone with the beautiful flowers.

He had been talking to the flowers as if the flowers were alive. If people saw him, they would suspect that he was crazy. He had been questioning the flowers if Tezuka really loves him. Whether a guy-guy relationship is accepted or not. Whether he should stop being in Tezuka's way or not and many more ridiculous questions that might earn him a tight slap on the face if only the flowers were alive.

"Ne pretty daisies, why aren't you answering me?" He asked the daisies like a 5 year old. When he heard no answer, he broke into tears. He was cried his eyes out until he realized how dark it had been. He was not aware of the time. "Oh my, it's going to rain soon, I better hurry." He thought to himself. Fuji sprinted to the locker room, wondering if Tezuka had left or not. Deep inside he wished his lover was waiting for him in the locker room so that they could walk home together.

When he reached the locker room, he was greeted by the sight of Tezuka hugging Nanaka. Fuji was in complete shock. He could feel his whole world tearing apart. Mitsuuu….

So it was true. Everything that he had doubt earlier was indeed true. Tezuka probably has grown bored of him. It was just a phase he was going through and now he had finally come to his senses. He should have known. He should have seen this coming. Good boys like Tezuka do not date guys. Tezuka's family will never allow it and being the good son that he is Tezuka will finally comply too. There is no future for them.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier outside. The thunder that roared in the sky reflected how he felt inside. It felt as if his world had turned upside down. Despite how much he had cried minutes ago, he felt like crying again, but this time it was more dreadful. He tried to contain his tears but failed miserably.

Tezuka heard a gasp and quickly turned to the source. He saw Fuji standing by the door, one hand covering his mouth. Streams of tears was pouring down his puffy eyes. Fuji looked so frail and dejected that all Tezuka wanted to do was gather him in his arms, hug him tight and tell him that everything was going to be all right. That what he saw does not mean anything. That Nanaka will never ever replace the special place that Fuji has in his heart.

Seeing Fuji's angelic face twisted in shock and pain tore him up inside. Tezuka knew he looked guilty being caught in that position but all he wanted to do was just to calm Nanaka down. But to be caught like that, even a 5 year old would have suspect that they were romancing.

"Fuji…." He muttered Fuji's name softly, bracing himself to explain the situation. Nanaka looked up when he heard Tezuka muttering something only to catch Tezuka staring at Fuji with a guilty face.

Nanaka was confused with the sudden tension filling the air around them. Why did Fuji have such a hurt look on his face she wondered to herself. And the way the two of them were looking at each other, she just could not find the meaning behind it.

Before Tezuka could manage to open his mouth again, Fuji had already stormed into the school building. "Fuji! Wait…" Tezuka tried to stop Fuji but the tensai was too fast. Tezuka gently pushed Nanaka aside and ran after Fuji. Nanaka was left dumbfounded there. "W-what was going on...?"

Fuji was crying really hard without realizing that his legs had already taken him to the dark school library. The lightning outside the window was the only source of light luminating the dark. The sound of the sudden heavy rain deafened his sense of hearing. Great, just the perfect surrounding for my pathetic condition Fuji sighed to himself.

Suddenly he felt that his arm was grabbed by someone. He looked at the assaulter with his cerulean eyes. It was Tezuka. "T-tezuka…leave me alone!" he pulled his arm from the other man's grip and walked further into the library.

"Syusuke….please let me explain" Tezuka called out desperately while catching Fuji's pace to grab his arm again. "No, you don't need to explain, it's just too obvious…Y-you don't love me anymore! Maybe you've never loved me from the start!"

Fuji's tears started to stream down his already red cheeks. He yanked his arm away from Tezuka and ran further inside the dark library. Tezuka was taken aback by his beloved's words. He never thought that Fuji would hurt that much.

He felt miserable for treating Fuji that way. Fuji deserved better than this. He is too precious. He had to clear things up with Fuji because seeing Fuji like this made his heart turn and twist in ways he's never felt before.

He ran after Fuji again, shouting out his name asking him to stop him. "Syusuke! Stop running. Please just listen to me".

"Go away Tezuka! Stop chasing me…just let me be!" Fuji did not slow down and ran deeper into the library.
