"So," Ayaka started as she stared at Fuji's sleeping form on the bed. Kunimitsu just finished telling her everything and she was confused. "I understand you but you're going to have a problem with your father and grandfather," Ayaka said as she turned to look into her son's eyes.
"I know," Kunimitsu replied. "Are you really okay that I am in love with a man?" He asked, apparently, he couldn't make out what his mom was feeling about the sudden revelation.
"Frankly," she turned to look at Fuji again, "I don't know. You're my son and I'll always love you, but I won't deny that I was shocked with what you told me," her eyes were now void of any emotion. "I'm not going to tell your father or grandfather, this is something you should do on your own," she finally turned to look at Tezuka again. "Your grown up already too, I'm not going to meddle with that Shiro guy either unless if you ask me to," she told her son. As expected, Kunimitsu didn't reply and let her continue. Obviously, he didn't want his mom to interfere with this situation. "I'm going to go leave you now," she said as she stood up. "Don't worry, I won't turn you away. I won't get disgusted or anything, I just need time to get over this side of yours. In the end," she turned to him, "I'll always be happy for your choices in life," she finally smiled and left.
When the doors to his room finally closed, Kunimitsu turned to Fuji and held his hand. 'I'm thankful that my mom is that kind to accept me and that she didn't bash you in anyway, Syuusuke. I'll worry about my grandfather and father later once we fix your situation. Just, please, wake up, now.'

All the members were all gathered around the benches near the courts. Currently, they were discussing about what they were going to do tonight at the club.
"We're not even sure if he's going to go there tonight," Oishi said.
"Another thing," Kawamura added, "how exactly are we going to get rid of him? We can't just beat him up or anything. He won't probably stop stalking Fuji either."
Hearing that, everyone silenced and was brought to their thoughts.
One question stayed in their mind: How were they going to get rid of Shiro?
Originally, they were only planning to get some information about him then probably reveal his nature to his school and his family, however, who are going to believe them? So far, Shiro does get into trouble but the professors still think that he is a well-behaved guy. They don't know much about his family either unless if they go into his home or anything.
"We need to catch him in the act," Kaidoh said and everyone agreed.
"What, we are going to trick him into doing a crime and then make sure the police are there so that they could put him in jail?" Momoshiro questioned him.
"Actually," Inui suddenly spoke up, "that's a good idea. The only problem is, what could he possibly do? Catching him in a fight won't exactly bring him to jail or get him thrown out of the city unless he kills someone."
Surprisingly, "Fuji-senpai," Ryoma, who has stayed quiet the whole time, spoke up. "He's obsessed with Fuji-senpai."
"Nyah!" Eiji suddenly exclaimed. "If you were thinking that we're going to use Fuji as bait and make Shiro sexually assault him and have the police come in is not a good idea! Fujiko has been through that already and I don't want that to happen again!"
Everyone was buried in their own thoughts.
After a few moments of silence, Oishi spoke. "We can't just use what happened years ago because we don't have any proof of that. Even if Fuji does tell that to the police, that has happened years ago and we'll probably get ignored."
"We can't go against his friends too," Inui said, "even if all of us go after him, he still has his friends to back him up."
Momoshiro then stood up. "He won't stop going after Fuji. The only way to get rid of him is to get enough proof that he's abusing Fuji-senpai and turn him over to the cops. As much as I don't want to say this," Momoshiro looked into their eyes. "We have to use Fuji-senpai if ever we do want him gone" and everyone looked to the ground, worry etching their eyes.
"Unless," Oishi suddenly spoke, "we are able to get something to blackmail him to stop harassing Fuji," everyone's eyes lit up as this idea came up.
However, "No," Inui said, "we don't have anything against him to get him jailed. Even if we did, he will be able to defend himself. The only sure way, is to make sure that the cops catch him in the act of doing something."
Everyone faced away as they kept thinking on other sure solutions. Apparently, they were all blank.
"We need to inform Tezuka about this," Oishi suddenly said. "However, we all need to rest now and we couldn't tell him right now either. We need to tell Fuji too and I have a feeling that both of them wouldn't want to hear about anything of this matter for the while being."
"Oishi's right," Inui said. "We'll tell both of them once we see them on Monday. However, we need to keep constant guard on Fuji the whole day." He looked at Eiji, "Kikumaru, watch over Fuji the whole day on Monday. Don't leave him unless someone is surely going to stay with him. If ever he does attack Fuji again, it'll probably be in a public place or at school like last time. The moment you see him, call us."
"Hoi Hoi!" Eiji said out loud but he wasn't playing around, he was serious.

Tezuka didn't let go of Fuji's hand and just waited there. He didn't move as he only stared at Fuji's face and caressed his hand. He hasn't even eaten yet but he just didn't care. It has been almost an hour since Fuji fainted and he hasn't called the members yet.
After a few minutes more of silence, Fuji started to stir in which that movement caused Tezuka to scoot closer to Fuji. To his delight, Fuji opened his eyes. "Syuusuke," he said as he smiled for the first time that day, "you're finally awake."
"You know," Fuji said, "You should smile more often," and he gave out a smile with his blue azure eyes open.
Feeling glad that Fuji was awake, Tezuka didn't say anything but kept his hazel eyes on his love's clear blue ones.
"What happened?" Fuji asked.
"You collapsed and I brought you to my home. Also, I already told my mother about us."
"What?" Fuji's eyes widened as he exclaimed that question. "Why? Was she upset?"
With that, Tezuka tightened his hold on Fuji's hand and Fuji sat up. "She's just surprised but overall, she accepts us. I'll take care of my father and grandfather later on. What we should worry now is how to take care of Shiro," and with that, Tezuka's smile disappeared.
"Kunimitsu," Fuji softly said.
"Is there something wrong?" Tezuka asked.
Fuji shook his head. "No," his eyes avoided Tezuka's. "But, I think that I need to face everything on my own. This is my problem, not yours. Also, I've decided not to be afraid anymore. That's the past, I'm not going to be afraid of Shiro anymore," he decisively said. "Let me handle him by myself. Also, I need to go home also. My family will be worried about me," with that, Fuji looked back to stare into Tezuka's eyes. Once they made contact though, Tezuka grabbed Fuji and held him in his embrace and started speaking.
"I know that this isn't like me, but don't be selfish," he said as he tightened his hold on Fuji. "That's why I'm here. I'm here to protect you and stay beside you. Don't be selfish to keep me from doing these things. I'll let you go home but I'm not letting you walk alone. Tomorrow, I'll visit your house again just to watch over you. We both don't know what Shiro is capable of." Tezuka said with no emotion at all but for Fuji, it held a lot of meaning and feeling.
"Kunimitsu," Fuji whispered into his ear as he gently wrapped his arms around Tezuka too. 'I think that is the most that he said in one go in days.'
"Syuusuke," Tezuka pulled away, "don't be selfish and let me protect you," he said. Slowly, he brought his hand up to gently hold Fuji's chin and bring him closer to his lips. "That's what I'm here for: to protect you." And with that, he sealed their lips together.
Their lips stayed on each other as they softly kissed with no roughness or whatever, it was gentle. Slowly, Fuji pulled away. "Forget what I said, I want to stay with you tonight," he said as he felt Tezuka's hands on his hips.
"How about your parents?" Tezuka asked, his face was still close with Fuji's and they could feel each other's breath and their lips were barely touching.
"I'll just text them later," Fuji replied and brought his lips to Tezuka to kiss it again and then pulled away. His eyes were only half open as he kept them on Tezuka's lips, "after all, you're the one who's going to protect me," and with that, Fuji brought his lips to Tezuka again and Tezuka gently pushed him down on his bed, lips still on each other and this time, hands roaming around the other.

It was already 8pm and Ayaka was downstairs with her husband and her father-in-law. She just finished making dinner and the two men were wondering where Kunimitsu was. "He's in his room with a friend," she said as she stood up. "I'll go get him," with that, she left for Tezuka's room. When she got there, she knocked on the door. "Kunimitsu, dinner time," she said.
"I'll be there soon, mom," Kunimitsu replied as he continued drying his hair since he just finished showering. He looked back at Fuji and saw that he was still sleeping. 'I'll just bring him food up here in case he wakes up,' he told himself. He then went over to get Fuji's pants on the floor to look for his cell phone but didn't find it there. He went over to search the bed but didn't find it there either. 'Looks like I have to call Fuji's family with my phone to tell him that he's here.' With that, he took out his cell phone and dialed Yumiko's number. Fuji gave it to him before just in case something happens. After two rings, Yumiko answered.
"Tezuka-kun! Are you with Syuusuke right now?" she asked with a panicked voice.
"I am," Tezuka replied. "He'll be staying over at my place tonight. He fell asleep."
"Okay," Yumiko replied. "It's good that he's with you. Tell him to please come home tomorrow."
"I will." He replied and they both said their goodbyes. He looked at Fuji's sleeping figure on the bed again before he went down to eat dinner.

Shiros sat laid down on his bed as he kept thinking about what he was going to do. 'Today was a fun day,' he smirked. 'I think I'll go visit little Syuusuke after my classes this Monday too. It'll probably be fun.'
