Growing Attraction
By: sTrawBerRyfAnsz
Summary-
Growing Attraction is a story of love, trust, friendship, betrayal, acceptance and denial. Every person has a secret which they don't want other people to know, what if his secret involves someone he unconsciously love? Will the one he loves accept him? Or will he deny his true feeling?
Disclaimers: Takeshi Konomi owns them all; I'm merely borrowing them for this fic of mine! There will be some OC too, which are definitely mine…
Warnings: A bit AU, I created their past… And, maybe bits [or many] grammar mistakes.
Note- Hi people! Genki ka? This part is dedicated to the golden pair plus another pair and it will reveal something about Tezuka and *cough* someone…
Thank you for all the wonderful reviews! I love them all and read them as soon as I got some!

The Seigaku Golden Pair was seen sitting and eating at a burger place somewhere near the station. They were both exhausted by Inui's new method of strengthening them for the Nationals which was pure hell. They had to ran 50 laps as a starter, 100 push-ups and sit-ups plus squatting for warm-ups, had to drank his 'New Special Golden Remix Juice [the upgraded one] for break, and bla… bla… bla…
When they heard their captain's deep voice saying that it was over, Oishi and Eiji could almost cry in bliss. They rushed to the club room, changed and decided to grab some burgers and here they were.
"Ne Eiji…," Oishi started, "..Did you notice something odd about Fuji?" He asked his lover who was busy gobbling his burgers.
"Kind of… He's somehow, umm… scared of something?"
Oishi nodded, "And it's as if he wanted to forget something terrible…" Eiji frowned and paused to think for awhile. After some time, he came into conclusion and hit his lover playfully on the face.
"Nani… As far as I've known, Fuji always has a happy live!"
"But…," Oishi hesitated for a bit, "We didn't really know him personally. I mean, looks can be deceiving you know…" He finished softly.
"It's true…. But……. I don't think Fuji is that kind of person!" Eiji persisted. He was Fuji's best friend too. They had only known each other for three years but Eiji assumed that Fuji was an extremely kind, caring and gentle person with a bit of twisted personality… ^^;
The mother of Seigaku shrugged, knowing that it was fully useless to tell the red head to change his mind. Once Eiji had decided on something, he would not change it so easily. He was a stubborn, over-cheerful and funny person after all.
"Guess so, I just hope that he will opened up to someone, sometimes it's not good to carry all the hardships by yourself…"
His lover grinned, making Oishi more confused than ever, "What are you talking about Oishi? I think that sooner or later, Fuji and our captain will eventually become a very close friend!"
Oishi sweat dropped as the tone of Eiji's voice became uneven as he said the word 'a very close friend'. The black haired boy knew that his friend, Kunimitsu Tezuka was as straight as a steel rod.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that… I mean, Tezuka had a fiancée-"It was too late when he realized that he had gone too far and spilled one of the secrets which Tezuka had insisted to keep forever. As predicted, his lover turned into a bomb, he became hyper and super surprised in an instant.
Eiji tackled him square, sending Oishi to the flat, hard ground, "WHAT???!!! WHAT DID YOU SAY OISHI?! REPEAT THAT FOR ME!!!"
"E-Eiji… You are embarrassing us! We are in public for crying out loud!!!" Oishi shoved his lover from him and tried to calm him down which was fruitless.
"I won't calm down til you explain to me what you've just said, OISHI!!!"
"OOOOWWW…," The black haired man knew that he was a dead meat by now, "..alright…" The last word came out as a whisper.
"It all started when we were all in our second year of junior high school-"
"WOW! Tezuka had already have a fiancée at that time? How's he back then Oishi?! I didn't really pay attention to him because he was really scary and.. And not to mention that-"
"Do you want to listen to the explanation or not?!" Oishi cut in sharply before Eiji's ramblings became more longer than the Ryuzaki's granddaughter's hair.
The red head grinned and murmured a soft sorry. The black haired man sighed tiredly before he resumed his explanations.
"It was back then when Tezuka started to secretly like a girl. Her name was Fujisaki Sami. But as you know, Tezuka is Tezuka. He chose to stay silent and watched that girl from afar… Sami-san was in different school, she was in one of the private expensive schools for girls."
Again, he was cut by Eiji, "WOAH! Is she cute?!"
"EIJI!!!!!!"
"Eh? Gomen…, so and then?"
Oishi sighed again for the nth time for the day, "What Tezuka didn't know was that their dads, his and hers was a business partners. They both set up an engagements party for their children to tighten their relationship in business. At first, Tezuka disagrees. He believed that a marriage should be based on love… But then when the girl said that she loves him too, Tezuka gladly accepted it. And they are still growing strong until now…"
He waited until Eiji absorbed all the shocking information before continued in a low, dangerous voice, "You will keep this as a secret, even from Fuji, got that?"
The red head nodded repeatedly and asked, "You sure that our buchou can be that romantic?"
"EIJI! You don't know Tezuka at all!!!" His anger was clearly seen in the way he spoke.
"But, I've never think that our captain can be so…, passionate about love? I thought all he thinks about is to bring us to the Nationals and become the No.1"
"Surprising isn't it. Tezuka is actually warm inside. He's just shy…" Eiji broke into giggles.
"Shy? That didn't suit him after all!!!"
"I know… but he can be bold in certain times too…" Oishi started to enjoy sharing his secret to his loud lover. Sometimes, it was rather nice to just let go of the frustration of being the great secret keeper and enjoyed the life.
Eiji gasped and his eyes bulged out, like an egg, "You mean… H..He, O-our Bu-buchou had kissed her?" Eiji stuttered miserably in surprised and Oishi could only nod.
"WHAT?!" Eiji's high pitched voice echoed in the burger place. Everyone in the room immediately turned their backs to him and a chorus of 'SSHH!' followed soon. His face was as red as his hair when he sat back down with his lover who was blushing too.
"I told you not to shout!" His partner whispered in annoyance, Eiji pouted cutely.
"Sorry, can't help it. This event is too big and surprising. Does anyone else in the team know about this?"
Oishi hit Eiji softly on his head, extracting a soft moan from him, "Are you crazy? If anyone else knew about this…, Tezuka will kill me for sure!"
"Figures… Then it's a secret…," Eiji relaxed on the metal red chair then continued, "But I still couldn't believe that our buchou had kissed a girl… He must be pretty good at that stuff then…"
"Don't ask me…" Oishi answered, his face had a hint of scarlet.
"Maybe… I should ask for his advice sometimes…" Eiji smirked naughtily and ran in an instant as he heard his lover screeched out his name.
"Jodan da yo, Oishi! [It's a joke, Oishi!]
***
Echizen Ryoma was walking home with his best friend, Momoshiro Takeshi when he realized that his friend was not taking the usual route they took to his house. Frowning, he became more confused as he realized that they were going in the direction which leads to his home.
"Momo senpai, aren't you supposed to go left?" He asked while still reading at the tennis magazine which featured the new Japanese tennis pro.
"Dontcha know? I'm moving to an apartment which is real close to you?" Cheerfully, he answered.
"Hmm… I see…"
"Aren't you going to ask why?"
"Nope, everybody has their own reasons and life to go one with" Once again, the freshman answered his senpai's question.
"That's good to hear, you know what… You are a very good friend" Momoshiro suddenly grabbed Echizen's free hand and squeezed it hard. He was showing his gratitude in a rather odd way which was not totally unwelcome to the confused Ryoma.
Echizen let go of the magazine and patted the larger hand which was covering his, "Dou Itashimashite, senpai"
Then, they walked in comfortable silence, for there were no other words needed between them. As a simple gestures meant thousand words for them.
