Two Sides

Chapter 5

-London, 6 a.m.-

Fuji woke up miserably and looked around him before he realized that he's in his dorm-room.

Oh, right… I've moved…He thought and sighed. Another meaningless day. It's hard for him to adapt in his new school. Not that the school is bad, though. He just… felt that something is missing in his life. Surely, it must be his friends and… Tezuka.

The prodigy shook his head. No, he can't think about Tezuka anymore.

He mustn't.

He had given his love up when he decided not to reply their last kiss. And that's the most painful decision he has ever taken. Fuji knew that if he did reply to it, he'll fall in love with his captain again.

Smiling bitterly, he got down from his bed and prepared for his day.

I wonder what they're doing right now…

***

-Japan, 9 p.m.-

"Ne, Ooishi… I think Tezuka's bad mood is getting worse by the day…" Eiji said as he sipped his cola.

"You're right…" Ooishi replied, "Since Fuji left, he did nothing but gazed at the empty court where he usually played with Fuji."

"And gave us punishment if we pissed him off." Eiji added.

The vice-captain chuckled. "Yeah, we can't forget that part… If Fuji was here, he'd be more merciful to us…"

"Merciful isn't the right word." The red-haired complained. "Tezuka is Tezuka, you know?"

"Ha~?" Ooishi frowned and smiled, "I think you're right…"

Tezuka is Tezuka, ne…?

***

Tezuka shut his eyes tightly and tried to sleep. Still, he knew he can't.

There's too much thought in his head right now. It's Fuji.

He couldn't believe what the prodigy did to him.

He left without saying anything!!

The captain clenched his fist. He was very angry because of that. It seems like his presence didn't mean anything to Fuji, that he could tell him nothing about the movement.

Tezuka stood up and decided to take a walk at the park. He can't sleep right now. He was afraid of the dream he had since Fuji left two weeks ago.

Right, since Fuji left he always had the same dream.

About the day Fuji left, when Eiji told him about the movement.

How hard he ran to the airport, how long he searched for him there

Only to find that the prodigy has gone.

At that moment, he thought that the world is turning upside down.

The strict guy smirked sadly. He had no idea that a Tezuka –the so-called ice hearted Tezuka- could feel this miserable. And he was sure that no one had the faintest idea neither.

God, why must I care about him…?

He startled as he felt warm liquid started to flow on his cheek. He didn't cry, did he…? It was just… the dust… It's just the dust…DAMMIT, why can't I stop it!?

Nevertheless, no matter how many times he told himself like that, he knew that he's actually too ashamed to admit that he was crying for the sake of a jerk that left him just like that.

Stop it, Fuji…

Please stop taunting me…

As the night continued, Tezuka's tears were dried by the wind.

But not the wound on his heart.

***

The bell rang, which means the break time has finally come. Students burst out of the class as soon as the teacher walked away. Tezuka were still staring at the blackboard that is full of the teacher's explanation about their subject. But he wasn't reading the writing. What for? He was good enough to pass this class even without paying any attention to the class.

"Too much day-dreaming isn't good for you, you know?" A familiar voice he recognized as Ooishi's called him back to reality.

"You don't need to concern about that." Tezuka replied coldly.

Ooishi only tilted his head. "But I must. You're our captain."

"If you think that I'm not good enough to be your captain, then go find another one." The taller man said. He sounded a bit pissed off.

"That's not what I mean…" Ooishi smiled. "You're really not yourself since Fuji-" His words was cut off when Tezuka stood up and banged the table, "Don't mention his name in front of me!" he said clearly and walked out of the room, tailed by the vice captain.

"Wait, Tezuka!" the raven-haired caught up to his pace.

Tezuka stopped and stared annoyed at Ooishi. "Now what?"

Surprisingly, he found his friend chuckled to see his attitude. Now, that really made him angry, "What are you laughing at?!"

"…It's just funny. I've known you for a very long time, but-" Ooishi cleared his throat and made a more serious tone, "There's nothing that can made you depressed like this other than him"

Tezuka was about to walked away again until he heard Ooishi continued.

"And you still don't know how's your feeling?"

The captain was stunned that he couldn't answer.

"Look, I didn't know what happened between you two. And I don't think I'm supposed to know." Ooishi smiled again. "But… mattaku… you guys are just too stupid."

They both fell silent.

"I…" Tezuka exhaled.

"You don't know how hard it was to leave us… no, you…"

"?"

"Before he left, Eiji asked him the reason."

Tezuka held his breath as Ooishi's word was heard. "He said… that it was because he didn't deserve you. That you need someone better…"

"…But…" Tezuka stuttered."…But he…"

"But he was the best, right?" asked Ooishi.

There was again a long pause before Tezuka sighed a deep breath and smiled. The very first smile since that day. "…un…"

"Then what are you waiting for, Tezuka?" the vice-captain raised his eyebrow. "Go and tell him what you just said."

"…You're… right…" Tezuka suddenly felt guilty. Fuji didn't blame him for what has happened. He was the one who feel uncertain towards his feelings and Fuji's.

I was too stupid to know.

I love Fuji the way he was.

Why did I hesitate just because he wasn't pure anymore?

Fuji stays the same, he still care about me…

That's right…

"Thanks, Ooishi…" He said and walked away.

This time, his step felt lighter.

Behind him, Ooishi turned around to a certain red-haired who was hiding behind a wall few meters from them. He grinned and signed an 'OK'.

Eiji winked. "Mission success, ne?"

The taller man laughed. "I almost lost my word. Luckily, it turned out like what we want."

"I know you're the best in this kind of thing, Ooishi." Eiji hugged the latter childishly.

Ooishi blushed. "This is still the school, Eiji."

"Aaaa~~!! It's okay. As long as you're fine with it, I don't care about what others think." Eiji replied and grinned widely.

The vice captain could only sighed.

***

"So, you're leaving for a while?" Ryuzaki-sensei asked after Tezuka asked for her permission.

"Yes. Ooishi will take my position again."

"Okay, but I hope it's not a long leave. Tournament is in a week. Without you and Fuji, our team will be short on players…" The coach continued, "Where are you going?"

"London."
