Chapter 4: Don't Smoke!
We hid behind the bushes and peeked at the strange scene.
"Eiji, what are they doing?"
"They're going to make out, baka!"
"Really? You think Tezuka has that much guts?" Looking at his partner with uncertainty.
"Well, to be honest… Nope, but that's our part." Smiling at his beloved friend.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Grinning to the other man.
"What are you guys talking about?" I didn't understand what they said; they really are a strange golden pair.
"Hehehe… something…"
"Come on, just tell him, Oishi. Maybe he can help them, too." He smiled at Oishi.
"Okay, if you say so. We're going to… umm... I mean, don't you think Tezuka and Fuji would make a cute pair?" He smiled at me.
"Pair? How could they? Tezuka always plays single. Fuji and Tezuka? I don't think so." I got more confused.
"No, not that kind of pair. What Oishi means is, don't you think that Fuji and our captain will make perfect couple?"
'What? Fuji and… Tezuka? But, how about me? It can't be… It can't be Fuji and…'
"Taka? You were staring." His face looked confused.
"Umm, ano…"
"Well, how bout it? Are you with us?" Suddenly, Oishi stepped on a dry twig. *CRACK* "Oh, my God…" Ooo… it was loud. And the two people who were busy with their matter realized it.
***
Who the f**k is it? Disturbing me at such an important moment. Uh, an important moment with Fuji… Uh, I'll just kill you; you're destroying my beautiful dreams. Fuji and I was just about to… well, at least I thought so…
"Eiji? Oishi? What the… Taka too? What are you guys doing? Peeking at us?"
"No, we weren't peeking, we didn't see anything. We didn't watch the entire hugging scene. We didn't see you and Fuji…"
"Oh, so you WERE peeking, Eiji…" I felt like I could explode anytime. These two are really annoying.
"Eiji, you baka!"
"I'm not stupid, Oishi. You were the one who cracked the twig. Baka!"
"Eiji, you…"
"Eiji! Oishi! Enough! You two are going to do 30 more laps when we get back to school!" I'm really going to make them be sorry for this.
"Tezuka, don't be too strict. You know that they always argue like that. Just take it easy." He was smiling at me. The sweetest smile ever.
"Well, if you ask so, okay. Hey, you two have to thank Fuji. Okay, I'll change the punishment, you two have to pay the bill today."
"Hey, you're the one who invited us here. You're the one who has to treat us."
"No whining, Eiji. Or you prefer to have another 30 laps?"
"Uh, no… Okay, we'll pay, right Oishi?"
"Umm… yeah…'
"Okay, let's all have some fun now. But, where are Momo and Echizen?"
"I don't know, Tezuka. Maybe they…" Looking everywhere trying to find the two little brats.
"Well, don't mind worry bout those two, Fuji. They might be in a quarrel right now. Let's just have some fun now." As we walked, I took Fuji's hand in mine. And we all enjoyed the rest of the day.
***
I can't sleep, his words keep repeating again and again in my mind. I don't know for how long I've been thinking about this.
"Don't you think that Fuji and our captain will make perfect couple?"
Well, I know that Fuji and that man are close friends, but Tezuka never had any feeling for Fuji, right? Or am I wrong, maybe he DOES have feelings for Fuji? No, it can't be. Tezuka never showed that he had any sort of feelings for Fuji, if he did Fuji would've been with him. So I guess that Tezuka doesn't like Fuji the way I do. To me he isn't an ordinary teammate; to me he has a special place in my heart. In the team, he is my best friend. Well, but I'm not contented by just friends, I want more, I want to be the one who he thinks of everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. I want him to be mine. Well, maybe I am possessive, but I just can't stand it. I just want to be with him, is that too much to ask? He is the one who understands me the most, with or without the racket (you know, the ordinary Taka and the super Taka ^^). Then why? Why did they say that he and the captain would make a perfect couple? I just don't get the point. Wouldn't we make a better couple? Aren't I the best for him? Whatsoever the captain doesn't care for him. It's better for him to be with me, cause I love him. And the captain doesn't, does he? Well, I don't know, and I don't care about Tezuka's feelings. After all he is a cold hearted person right? So, I'll never give up, I'll get Fuji no matter what. I'll never give up. Syusuke Fuji will be mine…

Ring… Ring… Ring…
"Yeah, yeah, wait a minute, I'm coming, I'm coming." Gosh, I feel a bit stupid talking to the phone.
"Hello. Who is it? Who are you looking for?" I mumbled. Huh, these days are really tough. Yeah, it's true that I'm always with Fuji. But, too much things, yeah those troublemakers were with us, too, what did you expect? They always manage to make me lose my temper.
"Moshi, moshi. You don't sound to be in a good mood today, Tezuka." A familiar cheerful voice on the other line of the phone answered me.
Damn it. Him again. Now, what does he want? Torture me again? "What do you want, Oishi?"
"Umm, since it's such a nice day, right? At 9 o'clock sharp."
"Nani?"
"Coming to your house today. See you. Bye…"
"Hey, hey… Oishi, wait, I didn't…" Damn brat. Shit he hung up.
***
9 o'clock sharp…
Ding… Dong… Ding… Dong…
Woah, he is really, really, on time. Damn, when I open this door, I'll see that guy. Or maybe I'll just let the door shut? *Grins* thinking of Oishi standing in front of the door for about an hour, yelling so I'll let him in.
Ding… Dong… Ding… Dong…
"Okay, I'm coming. Stop all the fuss, Oishi. What are you doing disturbing people in this time in the morning? Well, be patient will ya? Just wait a sec…" *blink* can't believe my eyes. Well, maybe I'm still dreaming. No, I'm hallucinating, how could Oishi turn into… "Fuji??"
"Ohayo, Tezuka. Am I bothering you? Are you all right?" *placing his palm on my forehead* "Eiji said you're sick. So I came to see you. But, you fine. Feel better?"
"Umm… No… umm… yeah…" Arrrrggghhhh… that Eiji, I'm going to make him run laps for all his life and I'll be happy to watch him suffer. *Grinning*
"Tezuka? Can I come in?"
"Sure, please come in. Make yourself like home."
"Oh, you're kind of polite now. What happened? Don't worry, I always make myself home here, it's like my second house." *smiles* "Here, it's for you. When I get sick, I eat chocolates and get well immediately." *handing me some chocolates*
"Thanks."
"Tezuka…" Looking at me with 'those' eyes, I just can't stand looking at them, so beautiful….
"…" *Placing his hands on my cheeks*
"Smile."
"Nani?"
"Smile. I know you're not in a good mood today. But, try to smile. You look handsome when you smile." *he's blushing while he said that*
"I… Umm…" Okay, if he's the one asking, who am I to reject? *Smiling to Fuji*
"Yup, that looks good."
"Let's watch some animes, okay?" Turning on the television.
"Ooo… it's X-1999, I love it…" His eyes were gleaming while he watches the film. All along the film, I didn't fully concentrated on the film, most of the time I was watching him. He looked so enthusiast. He's just too good to be true, can't take my eyes off of him. So damn beautiful…
"Tezuka…" *leaning on my shoulder* Hmm… I love it when he goes like this. It drives me crazy…
"Fuji…" Circling my arm around his waist.
"Tezu… Isn't Seishirou-sama very, very sexy?" What the… He was thinking of that guy all the time? Not ME??? Hmm… this is my part, that Seishirou guy again. I'm going to show him that I'm sexier than him.
"Umm… maybe…" *Fuji snuggling closer to me* Shit, I can't even think when he is this close. Making me nervous. *Taking a cigarette and lighting it*
"Tezu…" He looked confused. He looked at me with strange emotions running through his eyes. I don't know, I can't read through his feelings, I don't know what he is thinking of and I don't like it when I can't predict what will happen next. Makes me even more nervous.
"Nani?" It calms my nerves when I smoke, thanks to that Seishirou guy. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known how it felt to smoke.
"Tezu… You're acting strange lately…"
"Strange? Am I?" I don't feel so. He is the strange one. Popping up here in for nothing. Well, maybe it's because tactics from those two baka guys.
"Well, you've been smoking recently. I never knew that you were a smoker."
"Oh, well smoking makes me look cool, right? And it relaxes me, when I get nervous. And it…"
"Oh, so you're feeling nervous right now?" Did I just imagine or I just saw a flicker in his eyes? *Circling his hand around me* He's just driving me crazy.
"Tezu… ka… I asked you are you feeling nervous now?" I'm losing all my senses. I can't think.
"Umm… I…" Shit, how can I think is he is this close to me?
"Well, I'll take that as a yes. Tezu, you're so stupid, you know? Smoking can kill you, sooner or later, and I don't want you to be dead. Anyway, you're always cool, with or without smoking so you don't need to smoke." *playing with stands of my hair*
"I…" Shit. I still can't find the ability to think.
"I know some other ways to get relaxed without smoking." *taking the cigarette out of my mouth*
"Hey, hey, Fuji why did you… humfff…" He kissed me. Oh, NOW I AM the luckiest man in the world. Thank you, God. I'm so damn, lucky.
"Now, still nervous? This is the best way I could think of to relax. Better than smoking, right?"
"Umm…" Feels so sweet, just like I imagined. Well, even though it's just a soft kiss, but hey, it's Fuji of course it's sweet. He is sweet. You can't expect anything else.
"If you have more 'important things' to do with your mouth, then why smoking?"
"I…" My emotions took over of my brain, I can't think well…
"Tezu? Still nervous?"
"Umm…" Still can't think straight now. I'm drowned in my own world.
"I guess that's a yes. Well, maybe you need more to relax yourself." Kissing me again. Beginning with a light kiss. Then I urged myself to kiss back. Then we deepened the kiss into a more loving one. "Tezu… ka…" Really driving me crazy. Making me want more, more and more of him. I draped my arms around him. Then I lined my tongue on his lower lips. "Hmm…" He parted his lips and let my tongue in. "Tezuka… I…" We only broke apart to catch our breath. "Fu… jii…" I don't want this to end. It feels so good, so right, after all its with the one I love, its with Fuji. Somehow I just want the time to stop right now so it could be forever. He slipped his one of hand under my shirt and I could feel those soft hands caressing my chest. The other one is behind my neck, playing with the soft strands of hair there. "Fuji…" He was smiling at me. "Tezuka, I believe you're a bit more relaxed now?" I pulled his small body closer to mine. "Umm… nope…" *evil grin* "Oh, so that wasn't enough to relax you? Its okay with me, I can stay as long as you want. What do you want now? Just name it." Forming a mischievous smile on his face. I never knew he had that kind of expression, too. Maybe he's not as innocent as he looks? "Umm… Fu… jii… I… want…"
