Pairings: For starters, there's TezuFuji of course. More to come.

Chapter 2: Fuji's Dilemma

Fuji: If I do what you ask for, will you come home?

Yuuta: I guess so.

Fuji: Then tell me what you want me to do.

Yuuta: And you'll definitely do it?

Fuji: Yes.

Yuuta: Break up with Tezuka Kunimitsu.

-

Fuji: (silence)

Yuuta: You can't do it, can you? Forget it, I should have known.

Fuji: Is this why you refused to come back home?

Yuuta: Yes.

Fuji: (silence)

Yuuta: Well, I got to go. Mizuki-san is going to train with me.

Fuji: At this hour?

Yuuta: He does things at his own pace. I don't complain.

Fuji: Is he good to you?

Yuuta: Better than you are to me.

Fuji: Yuuta…

Yuuta: You can't even do what you promised!

Fuji: I…

Yuuta: If you can't even do that for me, I really have got nothing more to say.

Fuji: But-

Yuuta: Quit the "but's". I've heard enough from… Ah, Mizuki-san… Matte, I'm coming.

Fuji: He's waiting for you?

Yuuta: What's the problem with that?

Fuji: He's in YOUR room?

Yuuta: So?

Fuji: (silence)

Yuuta: Well are you done? I don't have so much time to waste on you.

Fuji: Yuuta… gomen. I…

Mizuki: Fuji Syuusuke. How nice to have you call up! How is it over at Seigaku?

Fuji: (silence)

Mizuki: Since you've got nothing to say, I guess we'll call it a day, shall we?

Fuji: Leave Yuuta alone.

Mizuki: Ahh… And why will I do that?

Fuji: Just leave him alone.

Mizuki: You can't make me.

Fuji: (silence)

Mizuki: At least I can be the person his aniki could never be. At least I'm here for him. At least I'm willing to do things, to sacrifice for him. Are you willing, Fuji Syuusuke? Not willing enough to let go of your boyfriend are you? Tsk tsk. You disappoint me.

Beep.Beep.Beep.

Mizuki: He hung up.

Yuuta: Whatever. Let's go.

Fuji slammed down the phone.

He was angry.
Mizuki…

The very one who almost destroyed Yuuta's shoulder.

The blue eyed tensai hated him with all his heart, and yet his younger brother thought so highly of his mentor.

Settling down on his bed, he contemplated calling Yuuta back, but decided not to.
He would probably have gone out to practice with Mizuki anyway.

Fuji frowned. He wondered what Mizuki was up to now.
Was he going to teach Yuuta something that would harm his body again?

He felt like screaming, he felt like beating Mizuki up.
Mizuki was a man who would stop at nothing just so he could win.

How could Yuuta have met someone as cruel as him? Fuji wondered.

But then his thoughts went back to the earlier conversation.

-

If I do what you ask for, will you come home?

I guess so.

Then tell me what you want me to do.

And you'll definitely do it?

Yes.

Break up with Tezuka Kunimitsu.

-

Fuji's heart sank.
How could he ever give up the love of his life?

It was impossible.

The tensai lay down on this bed and stared into the ceiling.

-

At least I can be the person his aniki could never be.

At least I'm here for him. At least I'm willing to do things, to sacrifice for him.

Are you willing, Fuji Syuusuke?

Are you willing?

-

He cupped his hands over his ears and suppressed an urge to scream.

-

Are you willing?

Are you willing, Fuji Syuusuke?

-

That voice haunted him. The taunting voice of Mizuki Hajime.
The person that Fuji hated the most was back to haunt him.

But why? Fuji wanted to ask his brother.
Why would this have stopped you from coming home?

He had suspected that Mizuki had been the cause of it all along, but it surprised him to find out that he was the one who had pushed Yuuta away instead.

-

I'm ashamed to even acknowledge you.

-

"Why are you ashamed of my relationship with Tezuka?" Fuji unconsciously blurted out.
"Why, Yuuta? Why?"

It was a hard promise to fulfill.
And it wasn't just hard.

It was impossible.

Fuji wondered if he could ever do it. The thought had never once crossed his mind.
If it did, he must have been mad.

Yet now, his brother had asked him to break up with his lover.

-

If I do what you ask for, will you come home?

I guess so.

-

Fuji knew that breaking up with Tezuka was the only way to get Yuuta to come home, but he wondered if he was willing to sacrifice this much for him.

Yuuta had never thanked him for the many things Fuji had done for him.
He had never appreciated what his elder brother did for him.

The tensai was troubled.

It scared him to think that that was the only way to get Yuuta back.

Yuuta was his brother and Fuji loved him dearly, but this…
This was too much.

Was his love for Tezuka more than his brotherly love for Yuuta?

Family had always been his top priority all his life, hadn't it?

Fuji was confused and distraught, and busied himself, thinking of other ways and means he could get Yuuta home, but thought of none.

There was only one way.

-

Break up with Tezuka Kunimitsu.

You can't do it, can you?

-

Those voices were back.

-

Are you willing, Fuji Syuusuke?

-

Fuji bit his lip.
He was apprehensive, he was worried.

And for the first time, he didn't know what to do.

To be continued…

Will Fuji give up Tezuka for his ungrateful brother?
And why does Yuuta want him to break up with Tezuka?

Was there…

A hidden motive?
