"Tezuka, I want to meet your parents," Fuji said.

Tezuka blinked, stared at him, and smirked. "What for?"

"I want to talk with your parents," Fuji sighed. "It's really a waste of talent of you. You're smart, you know? Genius. Clever. Intelligent. That's why I want to discuss with your parents about you, and your future."

"My future? What do you really care about it?"

"Because ... You're my student."

Tezuka snorted. "Yeah right."

"So what did you expect me to say?", Fuji frowned and blushed at the same time. Tezuka smiled inwardly and shrugged.

"When?"

"Whenever your parents could meet me."

"Anytime for you, my dear Sensei."

"So?"

"Tonight?"

Fuji stepped backward. "Tonight? Um ... That's fine. So, see you ...tonight."

Tezuka smirked and walked away.

***

"Yuuta, I'm sorry, you go home first, okay?", Fuji said to his brother.

"Hmm? Do you have things to do at school?"

"I do, but not at school ..."

Yuuta stared at his brother. Fuji tried to look away, but he knew it. "You're going out with Tezuka-senpai?"

Fuji blushed hard. "WHAT?? No, not like that!"

Yuuta grinned. "Good luck, Aniki."

"I'm not going out with him! It's just that I have to go to his house -"

"Ooh, worse!"

"YUUTA!!", Fuji blushed hard and shook his head hard.

Yuuta stuck his tongue out and ran away. "Tell me about the date later, Aniki!!"

Fuji wanted to dug the ground and hid underneath it. Some students stared at laughing at him, making him nervous. //I'm not going out with Tezuka, I'm just going to his house to discuss things with his parents and ... IT'S NOT A DATE!!//

He gasped, and shook his head slowly. //Why am I suddenly thinking about it? What's it like to have a date with Tezuka?//

Fuji slowly blushed and he growled. //I imagined things too much ...//

***

"It's very nice of you to ask me out," Eiji giggled.

Oishi smiled. "It's nothing. Anyway, what do you want to watch?"

"Anything, as long as I'm with you ..."

Oishi stopped abruptly and stared at Eiji. "Eh? Did you say something?"

"No, I didn't," Eiji smiled innocently.

//He just said as long as he's with me//, Oishi thought and walked slowly. //I'm sure of it! I just wanted to make sure that he really DID say that ...//

"Do you want to eat or watch movies first?"

"Hmm . let's watch movies first," Eiji said. "But ... Can I buy some ice- cream before we watch?"

"Sure, no problem," Oishi looked around. He gestured Eiji to the corner. "Let's buy some ice-cream there."

"Oishi ..."

"Hmm?"

"I don't ... feel like watching movies right now."

"Why?"

Eiji sighed. "There's something I want to ask you."

"And? What is that?"

Eiji looked at the ground and twiddled his fingers. "Am I special to you?"

"What?", again, Oishi acted stupid.

"Nothing, just forget it," Eiji sighed and walked away.

But Oishi grabbed his wrist. "Yes, you ARE special to me."

Eiji turned around and stared at Oishi. "Really?"

"Yes, you are special for me. Since the first time I laid my eyes on you, I've ... always thought that you're special for me. And that ... you're the one for me."

Eiji smiled and Oishi felt relieved. Yes, Eiji is really special to him ... in everything. And he wanted to be special to Eiji too. "Oishi ..."

"Am I ... special to you too?"

Eiji stared at Oishi, but he didn't answer. Instead, he walked away slowly, leaving Oishi behind. Oishi frowned and walked after him.

"Eiji?"

"Do I have to answer that? I think the answer is clear enough."

"Not for me ...", Oishi frowned. "Am I? Or am I -"

Eiji cut him by kissing him in the lips.

Oishi's eyes widened in shock as he felt Eiji leaning on him and kissed his lips. It was just a kiss, a simple kiss, but it meant everything, and it solved everything. He liked Eiji since the first time he met him, since he laid his eyes on him, or should he say, he fell in love with Eiji since he met him. He couldn't deny the feelings that he love him, he wanted Eiji to be his.

Oishi slowly pulled back, and Eiji thought it was a rejection.

Eiji quickly stepped back, but Oishi held his shoulders firmly.

"Eiji ... thank you," Oishi whispered as he pulled Eiji into his arms. He wrapped his arms around the acrobatic player tightly. "I love you, Eiji."

Eiji couldn't answer; he just nodded and leaned into Oishi's touch.

Fuji looked around, desperate. He should've asked Tezuka to guide him or ask him to pick him up. All Tezuka did was giving him a piece of paper about the map to his house. And now he was scared, but he was too arrogant to admit it, that he's lost.

He'd never been to this area before, and he regretted why he didn't take Yuuta with him.

"Great, now I'm lost," Fuji muttered. He picked up his hand phone and dialed his house. He waited patiently until Yuuta picked it up. "Yuuta, hi. I'm lost. Please come here and - Don't you dare laugh at your Aniki!! - Please tell me Tezuka's house - YUUTA, PLEASE!! -"

He gave up. He waited until Yuuta finished laughing. "Satisfied? Now come here and guided me to Tezuka's house -YUUTA!! Stop laughing!"

***

Half an hour later ...

"I still couldn't believe," Yuuta tried his best to hide his laugh. "What would you do without me, Aniki?"

"Oh shut up," Fuji sulked. "If I have a boyfriend I wouldn't bother to ask for your help anymore."

"Yeah, Tezuka-senpai would make a great boyfriend for you," Yuuta said and got smacked. "Ouch! It's the truth, Aniki!"

Fuji sighed. "So? Where's his house?"

They walked further more until Yuuta stopped. "It's up there."

Fuji looked up, and stared at an apartment. It was just a small apartment, but it's pretty expensive and comfortable. But ... An apartment?

"He lived here? In an apartment like this? Would it fit him and his parents?"

Yuuta stared at his brother. "Parents? What did you mean?"

"I come here to talk with his parents."

"And he said yes?"

"Yeah ... Why?"

Yuuta went pale. "Nothing. It's better if you know it yourself. Anyway, I'm going home now. Mizuki is waiting for me at the train station -"

"What? Wait for me! At least until I finally meet Tezuka!", Fuji said panicky. "Then you could go home!"

Yuuta smirked and shrugged. "Well, okay."

They walked upstairs, and Yuuta stopped in front of the first door. He pushed the bell, and the bell rang. Fuji could hear the footsteps from inside, and seconds later, the door opened and Tezuka appeared. "Hmm?"

Fuji swore he felt his heart stopped beating. He suddenly felt relieved, and he didn't know why. He felt his heart was filled with things, things he never knew before. And it made his heart heavier than before.

"Good evening, Tezuka-senpai," Yuuta smiled. "I was only -"

"We walked together here," Fuji cut and glared at his brother, as if to say, "Don't humiliate me!"

Yuuta grinned and shrugged. "Anyway, take good care of my brother, Tezuka- senpai. I have a date with Mizuki and I'm going to be late if I don't go now. See you later Aniki. Good luck."

A vein popped on Fuji's head. //That idiot! He always did that to me ...//

They both stared at Yuuta until he disappeared downstairs.

Fuji felt his heart skipped a beat again as he turned his head to Tezuka. "So, um ... Good evening, Tezuka."

Tezuka smiled a little. "Good evening, Sensei."

Fuji stared at Tezuka awkwardly and Tezuka stared back. He couldn't move, no, he wouldn't move. He enjoyed Tezuka's gaze on him, and yes, he felt safe. He tried to remember Tezuka's words the other day ...

//The safest place for you is with me//.

Tezuka tilted his head a bit. "Would you like to come in?"

"Um ... sure, thanks."

Tezuka let Fuji entered his apartment first, and then he walked in after him and closed the door. "Sorry. This is all I've got. Sit wherever you like."

Fuji slowly looked around. He noticed that the place was nice and comfortable. He would love to live in a place like this. Fuji also noticed that Tezuka's apartment contained only one bedroom, one bathroom plus toilet, and a pretty large room, which consisted of kitchen, living room and dining room.

"So ... Where are your parents?"

"You want to meet them?"

Fuji turned around, only to see Tezuka smirking at him. He gulped and stepped backward. "Um ... yeah, didn't I tell you about it today?"

"Let's go then," Tezuka said and gestured the door. "We're going out."

"Wh - what?", Fuji said dumbly. "Are your parents going out or something?"

"Just follow me," Tezuka grabbed his jacket and stared at Fuji. "You're the one who said about meeting them."

Fuji sighed and covered his face with his hands. "Fine, I'll go with you ..."

***

"Where are we going anyway?", Fuji tugged on Tezuka's arm as they walked along the road for the last ten minutes. "Where are you going to take me?"

"I don't know. A hotel, maybe?", Tezuka smirked.

Fuji sighed. "Yeah. Thanks a lot. We're going to a hotel in an evening like this?"

"Why not?"

"And what are we going to do in a hotel?"

Fuji covered his mouth abruptly and blushed. //What an innocent question!//, he thought panicky. //I should've asked something else ...//

"Things that would make you happy."

Fuji stopped and held his breath. He opened his eyes and stared at Tezuka. //What did he mean by that ...//, he thought and gulped. Fuji stared at Tezuka, confused. "Well you should know then. I'm not that kind of guy."

Fuji looked away, still with his eyes opened, in disappointment. But to Tezuka, he looked kind of sad. Tezuka sighed deeply.

"And I'm not that kind of guy," Tezuka said and Fuji stared at him. Tezuka felt calm. Fuji's blue orbs are gazing on him. The cold man slowly spread his smile. "Have someone told you that you're so beautiful?"

Fuji blinked. "What? Why?"

"Because you are the most beautiful person I've ever laid my eyes on," Tezuka said, staring at Fuji fondly.

Fuji opened his mouth and clutched his chest. He slowly shut his eyes and smiled. He chuckled, and stepped closer to Tezuka. "Tezuka ..."

Tezuka stared at his watch. "Come on, we're not gonna make it if we don't hurry."

Fuji nodded. "Aa."

Tezuka offered his hand to Fuji. "Shall we?"

Fuji gasped inwardly, and blushed. He shyly put his hand on Tezuka's. "Yes ... Let's go."

***

"It's here," Tezuka stopped and Fuji frowned.

"It's ... a graveyard," Fuji stammered.

"Hmm. Let's go in," Tezuka gestured and opened the gate of the graveyard.

"Are you ... Are you joking with me, Tezuka?"

Tezuka ignored the question, and walked further more inside until he stopped in two tombs. Fuji suddenly became breathless as he stared at the tombs. "This is my father's tomb and this one is my mother's."

Fuji couldn't say anything. "Tezuka ...", he whispered. "Are you saying that ... they're ... they're dead?"

Tezuka nodded. "Too bad you couldn't meet them. If you meet them, they'd like you."

//And they'd accept you as their son in law too//, Tezuka silently added.

"Why ... Why you didn't tell me about this sooner?", Fuji whispered, trembling. His eyes were started to fill with tears.

"You didn't ask," Tezuka shrugged.

Fuji finally cried, sobbing. "I'm so sorry ... I'm sorry, Tezuka ... I should've ..."

"It's not your fault."

"Even so -"

"Stop crying! It's not worth it!"

"Why did you say it's not worth it? It's worth it, you know!", Fuji yelled with tears. "Didn't you cry when they died?"

"I did. Everyday. And I couldn't cry more."

Fuji opened his eyes, glaring at the taller guy. "Why did you -"

"They were killed," Tezuka said in a very dangerous voice. The look in his eyes has changed. He looked angry, and his eyes were filled with hatred. He looked scary right now. Fuji suddenly felt afraid and hugged his trembling body. "They didn't do anything ... But they were killed. I should've did something. But ... I couldn't do anything."

Tezuka covered his face with his right hand. "I shouldn't face them. I shouldn't have come here again. I'm not a good son. I shouldn't -"

Fuji hugged Tezuka lovingly. "Shh," he whispered. "It's okay, Tezuka ... Just let it out ... I'm sure your parents were proud of you."

"You didn't know."

"I'm just sure of it," Fuji pressed his head on Tezuka's chest. "Because I'm proud of you too."

Tezuka's eyes widened, and he slowly nodded. He stared at the guy in his arms. //Warm ...//, he thought. He slowly wrapped his arms around Fuji, as if to say, it was the safest place for him. Fuji snuggled to his chest and sighed.

"You're right ...", his teacher murmured. "I'm safe if I'm with you ..."

Tezuka smirked and kissed Fuji's hair. //I already knew that from the beginning ...//

***

"Are you okay?", Fuji asked as they walked out from the graveyard.

"I should be the one who ask you that," Tezuka shrugged. "You're the one who crying."

"Oh no! It's this time already!", Fuji gasped as he stared at the big clock in the park. "I should go home and make dinner for Yuuta ..."

"Well, why don't we just buy some take-out and I'll walk you home after that. So you don't have to cook for tonight. Simple, isn't it?"

"Really?", Fuji smiled. "That's very nice of you."

"It's not a bad idea, right?"

Fuji pondered about it for a moment. "You're right ... I think Yuuta will have fun with Mizuki ... Thanks for the suggestion," he said and tilted his head. "Do you really want to accompany me to order take-out?"

"Why not? It's dangerous for you to be alone at night."

"Hey! I'm not a child anymore, you know?"

Tezuka continued to tease his dear teacher along the road. He finally stopped as he stared at a sport station. Fuji followed his gaze and smiled. Tezuka was staring at the tennis rackets.

"You missed the old times, aren't you?"

"Hmm ..."

"I quit playing tennis, you know."

"Really?", Tezuka stared at him. "Why?"

"I injured my wrist," Fuji stared at his wrist. "It was really painful. I remembered, I cried in pain all day and the next day I woke up, the Doctor said that I couldn't play tennis anymore."

" ... I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's fine! It's nothing to be worry about!", Fuji waved his hand. "But poor Yuuta. He never beat me since we were children!", he giggled. "And now I couldn't play tennis anymore. So he would never beat his Aniki!"

Tezuka smiled, and shrugged. "Let's go."

"So why did you quit, Tezuka?"

"I won't tell you," Tezuka teased.

"Oh, come on, you're mean! Why?"

Tezuka looked up. "It was really painful too."

Fuji stared at Tezuka, confused. Tezuka was so hard to be guessed. He could never guess what was Tezuka thinking. "Well ... if you need someone, I could always lend my shoulder to you."

Tezuka smirked. "You're so nice."

Fuji fell silent as they walked again, and finally sighed. "What ... about me?"

"Hmm?"

"If I need someone ...", Fuji frowned and smiled sadly. "I ... I -"

"I will always be there for you," Tezuka said.

Fuji opened his eyes in shock, and he stared unbelievably at the cold man. Fuji sighed happily and nodded, and dragged Tezuka on his arms. //Thank you, Tezuka ...//

***

"Wah! It's so crowded in here!", Fuji busily fanned his face with his hands, as they walked into a fast-food restaurant.

"What do you want to order? I'll order it for you," Tezuka said.

"No it's okay! I'll order it myself."

"I insist," Tezuka frowned.

Fuji gave up and told Tezuka what he and Yuuta usually ordered. While Tezuka disappeared in the crowd, Fuji leaned his back against the wall and looked around. //It's really crowded in here! Damn, it's really hot! Oh please make it quick, Tezuka//, he thought.

"Fuji-san?"

Fuji startled and stared at the person who just called him. "Oh! Mikihisa- san, good evening!"

Mikihisa smiled. "Good evening. What are you doing in here?"

"I'm just ... well, I'm ordering take-out with ... a friend of mine," Fuji stammered and smiled nervously. //Oh don't come out now, Tezuka ...//

"Oh ..."

"What about you?"

"I've just finished eating and I'm going home, but ... Fuji-san, do you still remember about the date you owe me?"

Fuji blinked. "Ah? Oh, um, well ... Yeah ..."

"Great! So, when can we ..."

Fuji gulped hard. "I, I don't know ... I'm pretty busy lately ... I'll tell you about it later, Mikihisa-san."

"Sure, anytime. As long as you still remember."

Fuji smiled and sweat dropped. //Dammit, I don't even remember ..."

"Hmm ...Can I walk you home?"

"You don't have to," Tezuka suddenly appeared and glared at Mikihisa.

Fuji gaped and covered his mouth. //Uh-oh, bad timing!//

"Tezuka?", Mikihisa frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"What are YOU doing here?", Tezuka glared. "Let's go, Fuji."

Tezuka glared at Mikihisa once again before grabbing Fuji's arm and walked out from the restaurant.

"Fuji? You called your teacher with his name? No Sensei or something?", he heard Mikihisa yelled something like that but he didn't care.

"Tezuka, that was rude -"

"I told you to stay away from him!", Tezuka pushed Fuji hard to walk in front of him. "Didn't I tell you that? If you don't want to get into trouble, stay away from him!"

"Tezuka -"

"What were you talking about?"

"Nothing, it was only -"

"Why didn't you ignore him?"

"Please, Tezuka!!", Fuji begged as Tezuka kept pushing him forward. "Because he's my friend, and he ... He ..."

"He likes you."

"Right, whatever. He said I still owe him a date -"

"What??"

"But I didn't even remember!", Fuji yelled in desperation. "Stop it, Tezuka! You're acting like you're my boyfriend!"

Tezuka fell silent and loosened his grip on Fuji's shoulder.

Fuji frowned in confusion. //Say something, Tezuka ... You're really acting like you're my boyfriend ... Are you ... Are you jealous?//

They stayed silent until they reached Fuji's apartment and stopped in front of Fuji's door.

Fuji leaned his back against the wall. "I'm sorry, Tezuka. And thank you for everything today," he whispered and sighed.

Tezuka didn't answer, and Fuji braved himself to stare at Tezuka. Tezuka was staring at him solemnly, and he slowly pinned Fuji on the wall. Fuji opened his mouth. He was cornered! What will Tezuka do and what should he do about it?

Tezuka leaned forward and Fuji almost shrunk.

Fuji's heart beating like it would explode in any minute, and he suddenly became breathless. //Oh God, oh God, what are you going to do?????//

Tezuka moved his arm to Fuji's hair, and took something. "Spider."

Fuji opened his eyes abruptly. "What??"

"There was spider on your hair," Tezuka showed him the spider and threw it on the wall.

Fuji frowned and blushed. "Oh ... okay. Good - good night, Tezuka," he said and quickly opened the door and closed it. "See you tomorrow at school."

Fuji leaned his back on the door, clutching at his chest; trying to make his heart beat back to normal. He slowly fell on the floor, buried his head on his knees, and blushing furiously, ashamed and angry to himself. //What was I thinking??//

Outside, Tezuka scratched his head. "Good night, my dear Sensei. See you tomorrow."

He turned around and walked away slowly. Tezuka looked up at the moon and smirked.

//Damn, I should've kissed him//.
