By: Imitation L// ahh! I'm so happy that people read my last Tennis no Ohjisama fanfic, maybe it was rushed, but the second chapter came out, not as good. Thank you for the comments as well as constructive criticism. Addicted To you is a song by Utada Hikaru. {Kikumaru X Fuji}

Perfection, that's what you are.
I can never imagine someone like me with you, impossible. I use to think my attraction to you was your natural abilities in tennis, and my envy for that, I always thought that we are only good friends that are on the same tennis team, I always thought..
My eyes steered towards the direction of the tennis prodigy; your perfect form shines out and deflects everyone else. Your smiling eyes always showcases your kind heart. Your close relationship with Tezuka burns a hole in my heart. For someone like the Captain, where love is not allowed, the effect softened, when you appeared. I can't help but let my eyes water, you're so near to me yet so far away.
"It's Fuji isn't it?" A mono toned voice startled me. I turned around to find Inui leaning against the fence. His talent for seeking out the unknowns amazes me. Even now, after so many years.
"How .. did you know?" I wiped away the few drops of tears; Did I want Inui to know? Did I care if Inui knew?
The brilliant data collector adjusted his glasses; he simply nodded towards the direction of Fuji. "Every time he is around, you tend to miss a few of the easy ones, every time Tezuka is with Fuji, your serves are always faster and more aggressive."
I nodded, taking in what Inui said, it's true, I tend to let people affect the way I play tennis. My face reddened, I felt angry that I let Inui notice, I felt angry that I let something like this effect me so much that it's evident. I turned around and walked towards the path of the main school. I have to control myself.
"Wait." Inui pulled a manila envelope out of his jacket's lower pocket. "I guess I understand how you feel."
"How I feel?" Anger passed and confusion took over. I opened the envelope to find a smiling picture of Fuji, holding a bright green tennis ball. The picture wasn't big, but I cherished it with all my heart.
"Arigatou nya" I let my usual self now take over. But something wasn't right, what does Inui mean by he understands. I asked the startling question.
"Addiction, Kikumaru, it's simple as that. The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or involved in something. " Inui recited. "Even though I'd never think I would be, but I have been, captivated by someone as well. He defies all my data; attracted my cold emotion less heart. But I manage to control it, I hope you will to." Advice was given, Advice was received.
"Thank you!" Being caught in moment of receiving that photo of Fuji has made my day. It is safely secured in my tennis bag, in a picture frame decorated by Sakura petals. Surely, I can control it.
