Chapter Four
Cruel Intentions
"Do you still love him?" His words played over and over in my head. Of course I still love him. I'll always do. "Then if he's going out with someone else, will you be mad?" This is what worries me. He certainly is planning for something. There's definitely something fishy about this. I hope Fuji will be all right. Of course he'll be fine, he's a grown up man right now. He can take care of himself. Anyway, he'll just tell me to get lost. He's still ignoring me till now. Then again, this is Tetsu we're talking about. That person always does anything to achieve his purposes. What if he ever does something to Fuji? I won't ever forgive myself. Everyone thinks he's that 'Mr. Nice Guy', but I know better than that. I know the real him. That slimmy git. Enough of this I have to talk to him before he does anything to my Fuji, well, not mine anymore, right?

"So, Tezuka-kun, what was so important that you invited me here?" Tetsu asked, while he added a playful smile. "Or is it that you miss me so much? Can't want to meet me, can you?" He grinned. His remarks made the older man feel uneasy.
"Stop fooling around, Tetsu. I wanted to talk to you about-" Before he could finish his sentence, the younger man placed a finger on his lips.
"Nu-uh, you don't need to tell, let me guess. About a assured beauty with lovely blue orbs, right?" He chuckled as the cool, calm, confident Tezuka became tense. "He's so great, he can even make you lose your calmness. Even I can't do that. Such a great man, Syusuke-kun that is."
"Well, about what you said a few days before…" He took his glasses off and played with its frame. It's his habit when he's nervous.
"You know what?" Tetsu stared on him. "When you take off your glasses like that we look alike. Syusuke-kun loved you, so maybe he can love me too, after all we're 'twins' right, Tezuka-kun?" His remark made the older man furious, but he didn't care and gave him a sly grin. "We're just like twins. Or maybe we are? After all, your mother and my father are-" His sentence was interrupted by the waiter who came. Surprisingly, the waiter looked quite familiar.
"Good morning, Sir. What would you like to- Ano… Tezuka?!" The cheerful redhead's mouth formed an 'o' when he saw the captain.
"Eiji? What are you doing here?"
"Well…" He gestures at his uniform. "I work here, doesn't it look like that?" He blinked. "Ah, OISHI! Tezuka is here."
"What? Oishi works here, too?"
"Well, yes. It's summer vacation, right? So, I decided to get a part time job, you know to kill the time. It's been so boring since there were no practice lately."
"You little liar, tell him the truth. You work here cause you want to be with me, right?" Oishi blinked at his partner. Oishi happened to fill his holiday by working part time at the café. Knowing that Eiji also took the job just so that he can be close to Oishi all the time.
"No, well, yes… Eto…" His partner embraced his waist. The blonde watched everything they were doing but he remained silent. "Oishi, this is public place. And… Tezuka…" The captain stayed calm, despite the scene in front of him. Well, he was used to see things like that, not like it was the first time he saw Oishi flirting around with Eiji. Anyway, he knows how far their relationship are. Oishi always talks to him when he has problems, and vice versa, but he hadn't told Oishi about his problems with Fuji. He still felt the throb in his heart every time he things about the brunette.
"A-ano…" Eiji jumped as he realized something. He pointed his finger to Tezuka and Tetsu. Tezuka, then Tetsu again. Over and over. His mouth moved as if he was about to say something, but none of the words came out. "Two Tezuka's?!" He sent glances at his partner, but his partner didn't seem to be surprised.
"Oh, aren't you Tetsu-kun? It's been a long time." He smiled at the 'twins'.
"You know him?" He stared at his partner with saucer-sized-eyes.
"Of course I do, he and Tezuka are…" Oishi's sentence happen to be cut by the captain.
"Eiji, this is Tetsu. Tetsu, this is Eiji and Oishi. You already know Oishi, right?"
The blonde gave away a charming smile. "Nice to meet you, you're very cute, Eiji-kun. Tezuka told me a lot about you." He took Eiji's hands and placed a kiss on it, that made Eiji blush furiously. He smiled gorgeously as usual, his charming way to attract someone. Eiji almost fainted of the shock.
"Cut that out, Tetsu. Don't lay your hands on Eiji."
"Oh, possessive, aren't we, Oishi-kun. Don't keep such a beauty all for yourself, he isn't you're boyfriend, right?" Another playful smile from him, this time it was directed to Oishi. "Oh, anyway I think I should thank you for taking such good care of Tezuka while I wasn't here." A playful smile formed on his delicate face.
"Enough of your games, Tetsu." He gave a sharp look at his 'twin'. "So, Mr. Waiter, may I see the menu please?"
"Ah, sure here it is, Sir." Eiji went back to his 'waiter' mode, still blushing a bit. Then he walked leaving the 'twins' followed by his enraged partner.
***
"Oishi-kun…" Eiji whined while tugging on Oishi's shirt. It was only the two of them in the staff room, so they didn't need to worry about anyone overhearing their conversation.
"What is it, Eiji?"
"Were you jealous back then?" He grinned.
"No, I'm not." He blushed irately. "Why should I be jealous of you?"
The red head got upset and frown. "Because…"
"I was worried that he put some moves on you. I knew him since junior high and he was already such a playboy back then. And furthermore he even kissed your hands. So, I…" He turned his head away so Eiji could see the blush on his face. "I… even I hadn't kiss you before."
Eiji blushed, but behind that he smiled. "Then, just do."
Abruptly Oishi lift his head not believing what he heard. "Pardon me?"
"Just do it, Oishi-kun." His blush deepened, not believing he could act this forward. "Kiss me." He mumbled beneath his breath, but the taller man already heard what he said.
"Eiji…" He pinned the red head and held his wrist. "He's right, you're very cute, Eiji."
"I…" The statement turned the red head's cheek as crimson as his hair. Before he could reply, Oishi locked his lips with his own and embraced the smaller man.
Swiftly, Eiji pushed Oishi away. "Wh-what's the matter, Eiji?" Scared he was, frightened that the red head regretted what just happened.
"How could you?!" A bemused red head with big saucer-shaped-eyes was glaring at him.
"Eiji? I don't understand." He was even more scared now. Did the red head regretted it and didn't want to see him again?
"How could you? That was my first kiss and you…" The owner of Daigorou looked as he was about to sob.
"But, didn't you tell me to kiss you? Did you regret it? Eiji, I'm sorry, I…"
"I told you to kiss me like he did. Here." He pointed at the place Tetsu kissed him. "I never mentioned anything about doing it here." This time he pointed at his lips. "But, you took my first kiss away." He pouted.
"But, I thought." Oishi suddenly felt completely stupid. It's true that Eiji didn't mention about kissing him on the lips. Maybe it was only he who thought too far away. The red head looked so upset, maybe he wouldn't even forgive Oishi. It was his first kiss after all and a first kiss should be with someone you love. Anyhow he was only a dear friend to Eiji not more. "I'm so sorry, Eiji, I got too carried away. I'm sorry it was me whom you had your first kiss with. It should have been with someone you love." 'Isn't that bitter. I just wished I were the one. But, why holding hopes for something impossible?'
The red head still pouted. "I'm upset with you, Oishi. How could you?! My first kiss with Oishi in a place like this, you are definitely not romantic at all, Oishi. I was dreaming to have it on a candle light dinner or on a balcony watching the night sky. But, you came up with a so-un-romantic idea like this. My first kiss in a staff room?! I hate you, Oishi."
"…" Oishi could only blink of what he heard. So, it wasn't what he thought about at all? He was so happy, whole-heartedly.
"Oishi…" The red head once again tugged on Oishi's shirt. "Say something. You're so irresponsible. You-" The words trailed off due to the fact that someone captured his lips once again.
"Then how about going home now? Want to stop by at my place? No one's home, so I think we can arrange some plans, can't we?" He winked and smiled playfully.
Then the two walked home hand in hand. "Ano, Oishi…"
"Nani, Ei… um, Koi? The new nickname for him made Eiji blush, once again his cheeks were as red as his hair.
"Syuchiroh…" Oishi smiled being called by his first name. "Are Tezuka and Tetsu really twins? They really look alike." Oishi chuckled.
"He is Tezuka's…" Oishi whispered in Eiji'd ear.
"Wh-what?!" Once again we can see the saucer-shaped-eyes of the cute little red head. "No wonder…"

"What are you planning on Fuji?" He talked without bothering to look at the blonde.
"I'm not planning anything, Tezuka-kun." He gave the sweetest smile he could ever make.
"Stop acting innocent like that. I know all your tricks. What ever you're plotting, if you ever hurt Fuji in any way, I'll…"
"Hurt him?" He mocked. "How could I ever do such a thing? He's such a beauty, you know?" His cheerful appearance changed into a serious one. "Besides, it was you-" He gave a sharp look at Tezuka. "You who hurt him. Betrayed him, didn't you?"
"But, I didn't…"
"Yes you did. He didn't tell me anything, but I know that you betrayed him." He looked angry this time. He seldom showed his true feeling, more over it was only a few times Tezuka saw him mad. "You didn't see his expressions, he was truly hurt by you. He loved you so much, love with an 'ed' on it. Even I can notice his feelings. You're just such a bloke head to realize. And betrayed him over, well was it some woman?"
"…"
"Don't remain silent like that. He is still such a beauty, even if you compare him to a woman. You're such an idiot, Tezuka."
"But, I said I didn't betray him. I was framed." He furiously clenched his teeth.
"Framed? That's what they all say. Traitors are traitors."
"Say what you want to say. I just want you to lay your hand off of Fuji. That's all." He stood up to leave.
"Too bad, Tezuka-kun. Ah, no, Kunimitsu-kun, I like Syusuke and I won't let go of him now. But, don't worry, I won't betray him, even if I do I won't let him know. An affair without being caught isn't an affair, is it, Kunimitsu-kun?" He formed an evil smile. "Ah, one more thing, Kunimitsu-kun."
"What else do you want?" He turned to face the speaker.
"If you miss me, just call and we can have another sweet date like this." With that he turned back to his former self, the cheerful Tetsu.
'Bastard.' Tezuka mumbled beneath his breath as he left his 'twin'.
