Part 2
"Dismissed!" Oishi's voice rang through the court. The entire match stopped at once and the freshmen began to pick the ball scattered balls.
"Nyaaa…I think Inui is gonna kill us with all this practice." Eiji moaned as the regular minus Inui and Tezuka walked to the lockers room. "Not to mention his upgraded super deluxe penal tea." He muttered.
Everyone except Fuji shivered at that. Inui had made them 100 push up, 100 sit up, ran around the court, and other physic exercises. Moreover, the one who gave up or not fast enough had to drink 'that'.
"Saa…but it's delicious" Fuji said, smiling.
Everyone sweat dropped.
"Okay, let's not talk about this again" Oishi suggested. Everyone nodded and Kawamura began to talk about his sushi chef training. He asked everyone to come to his house later.
Momo and Eiji jumped happily at that, muttering about free sushi. Echizen have no comment, Kaidoh just hissed, while Fuji and Oishi smiled.
Minutes later they all have finished changing to their school uniform and ready to go home when their buchou came in.
"Where's Inui?" Oishi asked.
"He's still talking with the coach." Tezuka opened his locker and pull out his uniform.
"Nee, Tezuka, we're all going to Taka-san house now. Join us later, ok? But don't be too late or I'll eat all the sushi!" Eiji giggled.
"Aa" Tezuka nodded.
Oishi waved at Tezuka "See you later then" with that all regular except our tensai left the lockers room.
"Fuji?" Eiji asked when he realized Fuji didn't move from his previous position.
Fuji waved at them. "I'll wait for Tezuka" he said.
Eiji looked disappointed. "Don't be too long, okay?" Fuji nodded.
"So what is it that you want to talk about?" Tezuka asked when the other had left.
Fuji turned to look at Tezuka "I-" He stopped as he saw his buchou. Tezuka had taken off his tennis uniform. Unconsciously, Fuji let his eyes roamed over to his buchou's muscular chest. /Oh, god…he's perfect/ he thought. Suddenly he felt self conscious. He was too skinny and too pale compared to Tezuka or any other guy. Why would Tezuka want someone as himself?
Feeling his friend's gaze, Tezuka looked at Fuji and raised his eyebrow. "What?" he frowned.
Fuji's mind back to his head and he blushed furiously. "No-nothing! I-I'll wait you outside, kay?" he faked a quick smile and ran out. /Shitshitshitshitshit…/ was the only thing in his mind. It's always like this. He always lost his cool and composed self in front of Tezuka. /Fuji Shuusuke no baka!/
~~
The tensai was watching the scenery around him when Tezuka walked to him. He smiled at him even though his heart pounding so fast that he could only heard it's voice.
Tezuka stood beside him and folded his arms, waiting for Fuji. But the tensai stood still, making no sound at all. He looked nervous for an unknown reason. He sighed and turned away to leave. He didn't have time for this.
"Matte, Tezuka!" Fuji yelled, panicked. "I-I love you!" he said bluntly, don't know what to say. He opened his blue orbs nervously. "Tezuka?" his voice wavering slightly.
Tezuka stood still with his back facing Fuji. He didn't say a word. "Just say yes or…no, please? I can't stand this silence…anything…" Fuji pleaded, his vision blurred slightly with tears.
His buchou didn't respond and began to walk away.
/Huh, it's just like my worst dream/ he thought sadly. Tears ran freely on his face now. Fortunately for him there was no one there. /It's hurts…/ he clutched his heart. He fell down to his knees and sobbed.
/I'm so pathetic. What am I thinking? That he would smile at me and says that he feels the same? Baka/ he brushed his tears with his arm and stood up slowly. He picked up his bag and went home.
/I should have known…he would never look at me that way/ he bit his lip, trying to stop the pain inside his chest. /It always about tennis, nee, Tezuka?/ he smiled sadly as the tears running through his cheeks again. /I love you…/
~~
"Tezuka? Where's Fuji?" Eiji asked when the buchou entered the sushi restaurant alone. The entire regular were scattered around the restaurant, eating sushi.
Tezuka shrugged. "He's not coming." He said. He knew Fuji wouldn't want to see him right now. He felt a little guilty. It's not that he didn't like the tensai. He just never expected Fuji to felt that way about him.
Kawamura looked disappointed. "Really? But I had made him his favorite sushi. I thought he would like it since he doesn't look too well lately."
"That's right!" Eiji suddenly popped out. "He often daydreams in the class lately. It's not like him." He frowned.
Oishi nodded and sat beside his secret boyfriend. "I saw him looked sad a few times." He added.
"The way he played tennis is also different. It looks like his mind is elsewhere." Inui came out from nowhere with his notebook.
"SSsssssshh…" Kaidoh agreed.
Momo joined their conversation. "It's not like Fuji-senpai after all." He nodded.
"Maybe it was something about our buchou?" Echizen said. "I heard that he was searching for you at school"
Instantly all of them fixed their eyes to the said person, waiting for an answer. Tezuka glared at them. "Mind your own business!" he said sternly and left the restaurant immediately. Everyone was shouting at him to come back but he chose to ignore it.
/Why did I come here anyway? It's not like I have to come here./ he thought bitterly. Maybe it was because of Fuji? He wanted to distract his thoughts from him but it turn out to be a wrong decision.
He thought about what his team mate were saying. It's true that the usually calm tensai was acting strangely lately. Was it because of 'that'? He felt guiltier now. Sure Fuji was a good friend but to be more than that…he never thought about that. He sighed. It would be a long night.
~~
Fuji was sitting alone on his bedroom. His eyes were red from crying. He never thought that it would hurt this much. Why did he have to fall in love with his captain? He didn't think that he could bear seeing Tezuka anymore.
He hugged the plushy teddy bear that Eiji gave him on his birthday last year. Fuji smiled slightly as he remembered what his red haired friend had said back then. /'Talk to this bear if you miss me'/ he remembered.
He turned his attention to his nightstand. He gazed at the picture there for some time. It was picture from last year when he, Tezuka, Oishi, Eiji, Kawamura, and Inui had succeeded to be regular for the first time.
/Except for Tezuka. He always one step ahead me/ he caressed Tezuka's picture softly. He could feel his chest tighten again. He took the picture and placed it inside the drawer. He didn't want to see it again. It would only bring back memories.
He couldn't help but wonder if Tezuka still remember what had happened last year…
~Flashback~
"I heard that your brother move out from Seigaku" Oishi said to the tensai.
Fuji smiled to Oishi. "Aa" he answered softly.
"Do you know the reason?" Oishi asked as he picked up his racket.
Still smiling, Fuji shook his head. "Saa…who knows"
"Well then let's go to the court."
Fuji sighed as Oishi went out and leaned back to the wall. "Maybe it's because he hates me…" he murmured sadly.
"Who hate who?" Fuji was surprised to see Tezuka in front of the door. He didn't realize that someone had come.
Quickly, he put his innocent smile on his face. "You forgot something Tezuka?" he asked, changing topic.
Tezuka opened his bag and pulled out his racket. "I forgot my racket"
"Hee…I never know that you could forget your racket." Fuji smiled.
"Hn."
Fuji chuckled and walked to the door slowly but Tezuka walked passed him. "No one hates their brother" The glasses man said quietly before he was out from Fuji's sight.
Suddenly the prodigy felt something stir inside him. He thought about Tezuka action and words. Then he smiled a genuine smile.
~end flashback~
He instantly fell in love with his buchou that time. It was because of his words that he didn't give up about Yuuta. And guess what? Tezuka was right. No one really hated their brother.
Fuji hugged his teddy bear tighter. He knew that Tezuka just being kind to him that time. He couldn't do anything but hoping that the stoic man felt something special toward him. But his fantasy was shattered today. The truth always hurt. He wondered if Yuuta felt like this back then.
/Yuuta…How is he?/ he picked up the phone and dialed his brother's cell phone. He waited for a while before Yuuta picked up the phone.
"Moshi-moshi." He could hear his brother voice.
He smiled. "It's me."
Fuji could heard Yuuta sighed in relieved, "Oh, it just you, aniki. I thought mom called me again." He said. "What's up?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice."
Yuuta smiled. "You're still strange as usual, aniki. I'm fine here."
"I know. Can't someone miss his younger brother?" Fuji said. "So anything new? Girlfriend maybe?" he teased.
The younger boy went quiet for a moment. "HOW DID YOU KNOW??" he yelled in embarrassment.
Fuji was actually surprised by this. Yuuta never told him about that. "Ee…it is true then."
"Who told you that?" he asked.
The brunette smiled at his brother embarrassment. "No one. Just a lucky guess." He chuckled. "So how's it going?"
Yuuta blushed. "Great!" He answered.
"Is she beautiful?"
"You should meet her sometime, aniki. She's wonderful, you'll like her!" Yuuta laughed. "I never thought that she likes me too. Thank God I told her about my feelings back then."
"Yeah…it's good that you could be together with someone you love…" he whispered.
Yuuta frowned. "Eh? Are you alright? Your voice seemed different."
Fuji shook his head. "Ne, Yuuta you're the fourth person to ask me that today." His voice was back to normal.
"Really? It must be serious then. Tell me what happened."
"Nothing happened. You're imagining things, Yuuta" he lied.
"Aniki…" Yuuta warned.
DIIINGDONGGG
Sound of the bell relieved Fuji. "Sorry, Yuuta. There's someone coming over. I have to open the door. I call you later. Bye" he hung up. /That was close/ he thought as he opened the door.
"Fujiiiii!!! Are you alright??? Why didn't you come to the restaurant?? We were so worried about you!!" Eiji talked with one breath. Fuji just blinked.
"Calm down, Eiji. Don't make him confuse." Oishi clamped his boyfriend's mouth with his hand.
"Mmmppppphhhh!!!!" The red haired protested.
Fuji smiled. "It's okay. I don't mind."
Eiji looked at Fuji with his teary eyes and jumped him. "You're really my best-best friend, Fuji!!"
The smaller brunette grinned wider and patted his friend's red hairs. Sometimes Eiji's childlike feature could soothe him from his trouble.
The vice-captain sighed and smiled at them. "Release him, Eiji. You'll crush him with your so-called hug" he teased. Eiji pouted cutely but obeyed his black-haired boyfriend. Oishi gave Fuji a small pack.
"For me?" Fuji tilted his head aside. He took the pack as Oishi nodded. Slowly, he opened it and saw rolls of wasabi sushi. He looked at the golden pair, confused.
"Taka-san asked us to give it to you." Eiji explained. "He hopes that you'll feel better after you eat this."
The brunette opened his blue eyes. "He worried about me?" he asked.
"Baka, of course! Everyone was worried about you." Eiji pouted.
"I don't know about your problem and I won't ask but I want you to know that you're not alone. You have us." The mother of Seigaku's tennis club said.
Fuji felt something stir inside his chest. He was so lucky to have great friends like them. For the first time in weeks he smiled genuinely at them. "Arigato"
