DISCLAIMER: The sole thing I own in this piece of fanfic is the storyline.
P/S: Perhaps it's a bit OOC.

            "Sekai ga owaru made wa…hanareru koto mo nai…"
            Hanagata Toru frowned deeply behind the magazine he was reading.
            His companion, Fujima Kenji, was channel surfing. At the same time, he was singing his favourite song, Sekai ga Owaru Made Wa. Silence filled the room soon after the song ended. Hanagata sighed in relief.
            Approximately five minutes later…
            "Daitokai ni, boku wa mou hitori de…"
           
Hanagata nearly exploded. Not that he hated the song—he was merely frustrated. Who wouldn't, if one listened to the same song over and over again? That was the fifteenth time Fujima repeated the first line, the same song, that day alone. Besides, the song contained memories of their bitter defeat against Shohoku. And yet…and yet his koi…
            "Tagai no subete wo, shiritsukusu made ga…"
           
Hanagata could refrain no longer. He tossed his magazine aside, slowly as to not to show his irritation. "Kenji-kun…"
            "Ai naraba, isso towa ni nemurou ka..." Fujima ceased and looked at Hanagata. "Yes?"
            "No offence or anything, Kenji-kun…but, don't you have any other song to sing?"
            "Huh?"
            Hanagata attempted choosing the suitable words so that he would not hurt his Fujima's feelings. "It's just that—I'd like to hear you sing some other song—I mean, it's a pity you always sing the same song countless times…"
            Fortunately for Hanagata, Fujima did not seem to be annoyed. "I understand, Toru…you'd like to hear another song, then?"
            "By all means, Kenji-kun…"
            "Promise you'll like it?" Fujima brushed Hanagata's cheek lightly.
            "Promise."
            "Hontou ni?"
            "Hontou…"
            Fujima took a few steps backward, motioning Hanagata to take a seat. Fujima switched the television set off.

Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

~

Oh, mama mia!!!

~

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight

~

But I was the one who walked all the way here…and now is broad daylight…

~

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever think of me

~

You doubted me? Ah Kenji-kun…how could you? Hanagata was fighting urges to cry (significantly).

~

Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in
Your precious memory

Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by,oh
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight

~

Knowing you, you won't be walking…you'll be running a thousand miles, Kenji-kun…

~

And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I've fallen...

Making my way down town
Waking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

~

Most of which are your fans and admirers…cheh! Hanagata frowned.

~

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time, would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...

~

You don't have to walk a thousand miles…because I'll be by your side forever…

~

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
If I could just hold you... tonight

            Fujima wrapped his sparse and sinewy arms around Hanagata, looking at him with puppy dog eyes, as always. The very eyes that brings out the boyish look within him; the same eyes which Hanagata could never resist in a million years.
            "Did you like it?" asked the shorter boy.
            Hanagata closed the gap between them. "Yes, very much, Kenji-kun."
            "I'm glad."
            Finally, something else than Sekai ga Owaru made Wa…
           
"So, do you have any comment?"
            "Kenji-kun, you sang so well, I almost thought the singer—what the name of the singer again—"
            "Vanessa Carlton…" supplied Fujima.
            "Yeah, she herself was standing in front of me!"
            "Oh, Toru…you're such a—" Fujima paused abruptly, grasping something wrong in Hanagata's remark. Chotto…
            "Kenji-kun?"
            "My voice—was almost like the original singer's?"
            "Well, yeah!"
            "That—that would mean—"
            "What's wrong?"
            "That means my voice sounds like a girl's!"
            "Ah? But I meant—"
            "You know I dislike it when people say how unmanly I am!"
            "Demo, Kenji-kun!"
            Fujima let go of Hanagata almost immediately. He threw the front door open and ran out.
            "A-re? Kenji-kun!" Hanagata rushed out the door a second too late. He thought he was complimenting Fujima with the statement; instead…
            "Kenji-kun! I'm really sorry!!" He glanced to his left and right, finally taking the one on his left. The consequence? Hanagata really ended up walked a thousand miles in search of his Fujima, because the Shoyo point guard had in reality taken the right one—and at a faster speed.

Author's Senseless Ramblings: I'd like to thank Tina, Nellie (hey, you're right! It's supposed to be 'her parents'. Thanks for pointing it out to me!), Rei and nanami27 for the generous reviews. Don't worry, I won't wreck Mitsui and Kogure's relationship, nor would I spoil Hanagata and Fujima's.
            Another track done. Hope you enjoyed this one too. Leave me a review before leaving, ne? [Background: "Kenji-kun!!! Where are you? I'm really sorry! Please come back! Kenji-kun!!!"] *sweat drops* Poor guy. Well, until the next track, ja ne!
