Fuji woke up early that morning, quite excited to see Tezuka once again.

He went downstairs and eagerly ate his breakfast with his family before spending some time with Yuuta to watch a movie. When the clock struck 12 decided to start getting ready so that he won't be late.

'I've been late most of the times I have been going out with Kunimitsu. I think it's about time that I break that certain habit.' he thought resolutely. After exactly 30 minutes he was all ready to go.

He bid his family goodbye and headed out, arriving at the meeting place 15 minutes early. He checked the time and decided to head to a nearby bookstore to see if they have the certain book that he wanted to give to his sister as a late Christmas present.

While inside, he had informed Tezuka of his temporary whereabouts as he looked around the shelves of books. As soon as he spotted the book that he needed he felt his phone vibrate and pulled it out; it was another message from Tezuka saying that he will be at their meeting place soon and he should head over there as well.

He hastily explained his reason for being there in the first place to which the captain said that he would be heading to the bookstore instead.

Pocketing his phone, Fuji looked around once more before deciding to head out. 'Well...Tezuka isn't here yet, I might as well return to the meeting place....I seem so indecisive today....' he thought with a chuckle. Again, he texted his boyfriend about his decision before heading out....

....where he saw Tezuka getting off the car and looking at his phone. 'He just got my message...' Fuji said to himself with a chuckle.

"Kunimitsu!!" He called out, successfully catching his boyfriend's attention.

They headed straight to the train station that would take them to where they were going. On the way, the captain pulled out a little stuffed dog from his bag and showed it to the tensai. 'Sasha...' Fuji thought in amusement as he patted the small dog and was distracted with it for the rest of the way.

The train ride was pleasant enough, and when they got to the mall Fuji had one observation that lasted all throughout the day: Tezuka is easily distracted when it comes to kids. As long as they aren't annoying him, that is.

Once they reached the arcade, Tezuka had reminded the tensai about something he wanted the captain to do. Something that he had mentioned in his journal before. Fuji grinned inwardly, 'Of course I remember, Kunimitsu...I just want to see if you'll take the initiative even if I say that I don't.' he said to himself.

For some strange reason, the tensai didn't feel up to playing a games today. Sure he went off to play once or twice on his own but he did it halfheartedly and he didn't exactly know why.

'Snap out of it Syusuke, don't ruin the day' he mentally scolded. Soon, he and Tezuka went to another arcade, just one floor down from where they were. Fuji, still faking forgetfulness, was surprised when Tezuka suddenly opened the door to a KTV booth and looked at him pointedly. He chuckled and just said that he finally remembered. 'So he does plan on singing today'

Once inside, the captain pulled out Sasha -who was placed in Tezuka's bag at some point in their travel- once more before selecting a song to sing. Fuji didn't know the song that the captain chose but as he listened to the lyrics, he realized that it was a love song. He smiled as he continued to listen.

After a round of songs, -where Tezuka had also managed to get the tensai two sing- they headed out to play a few games and made a stop at an ice cream shop before heading back to the area where they met up earlier.

Fuji had gotten a message from Yumiko that everyone was out of the house and that they would be back by 7 in the evening, meaning that Fuji has to yet again, find something to occupy his time with until he can go home.

Luckily Tezuka was going to be picked up by his mother around six which meant it was enough waiting time for Fuji before heading back home as well.

The two decided to stay at a food establishment that had recently re-opened, and settled down at a table near the windows when they got there. They talked a bit, and the tensai had noticed yet again that at a certain point, Tezuka was distracted by two children who were with their father.

Soon Tezuka's mother arrived to pick the captain up. After saying their good-byes, the two parted.

On the way home, however, Fuji felt as if something was terribly wrong. The bus he was on wasn't cramped and the window was open but he was having difficulties in breathing. He got of in front of his subdivision and walked the rest of the way home, almost halfway he was already feeling dizzy.

Not having the strength to open their gate anymore, he rang the doorbell and about three second later the lights outside went on and Yumiko rushed out, eyes widening in alarm when she saw the state that the tensai was in.

"N-nee-san..." He managed to say before his knees gave in.
