Fuji sighed as he stared at Tezuka's chat window. He won't be using it tonight, he knew that, but he didn't exactly know what drove him to open the said window anyway.

'Maybe it's because I miss him..' he thought sadly as he watched the virtual fish swim around in the chat window. He had contemplated to send an offline message but stopped himself from doing so since he deemed that it would make him look like he was already longing for his boyfriend.

'Come on Syusuke...it's just like all the other weekends...the only difference is that you two aren't chatting like you always have been and you are aware that he's in another country and the only way you could communicate is through e-mail...'

He sighed again as his train of thoughts continued towards a downward direction. It was during these times that he had something to cuddle that came from the captain just like the other would with either Kurt or Hershey (A golden Labrador puppy stuffed toy that he gave Tezuka for valentines) when he felt lonely.

His gaze wondered towards the ring he was wearing, something that Tezuka gave him. A small smile found it's way to his lips as he looked at it. "Maybe I don't need a stuffed toy, after all..." he said in amusement as the ruby gem glittered in the light.

Shaking his head and turning his attention back to the screen of his laptop. He reluctantly closed the chat window and took a few deep breaths before going online to take care of something.

'Now to focus on something that I have to attend to...' he said as he typed up a certain website. He waited for it to load as he reached for his phone to inform the rest of his group that he was already online so that they can talk about the last parts of the paper that would be submitted by the end of the week.

By the time that he had finished all he had to do, his groupates inquired if he was going to bed already in which he answered a negative.

"Don't tell me that you're waiting for Tezuka! He's coming back tomorrow not tonight!" one of them said.

Fuji blinked and asked himself what, indeed, was the reason as to why he will be staying up. That was the time he had realized that somewhere through the conference with his group, he had subconsciously opened Tezuka's chat window again.

He chuckled to himself, "Saa..." he said before closing the windows and giving in to his group's request to get to bed early.
