Be With You
Warnings: Boys Love, sadness yet fluffiness (?), stupid offer and uncontrolled desire (kidding)

Tezuka was really frightened when he saw Fuji, lying down on front of his apartment door, with bruises on his cheek and arms. It's 5 o'clock in the morning for God sake.
Ignoring his usual morning jog, he quickly carried his lover inside and laid him on his bed.
He went outside again to carry Fuji's suitcase.
"It's pretty heavy," he thought.
On his bedroom, Fuji was now burying his body deeper to the thick blanket which covered him, shivering. Tezuka sighed, a bit confused with this entire occurrence. But after hearing Fuji calling his name in his sleep, he decided to ask it later.
----
"Mm..." Fuji snuggled deeper to whatever thing that was under his head. It just felt so warm and comforting. He opened his eyes, and saw his boyfriend, sleeping beside him.
He reached out his hand from under the blanket, and absent-mindedly stroked his messy brown hair.
Suddenly, Tezuka's eyes cracked open.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" Fuji whispered softly, his hand moving to Tezuka's cheek.
The other shook his head. "It's okay. I already put on medicine on your bruise."
Fuji smiled, and kissed Tezuka's neck. Tezuka shifted his position to his side so he could held him tighter. He wrapped his arms around the slender body and buried his nose to the brown hair.
"…Syuusuke, what exactly happened yesterday?"
No answer. He just snuggled deeper to his chest.
"Syuusuke?" He repeated.
He looked down and raised Fuji's chin so he could see his face better. "Syuu-"
"Kunimitsu," he said, "its okay. I'm okay."
"I won't believe it. Who did all of this?" Tezuka backed a little, and pointed the bruises that were on Fuji's arms.
"Mitsu, can I stay with you? We've talked about this, right? I wanted to live with you, too."
He obviously was trying to change the subject. "Did your father do this to you?"
Yes, he realized something has happened between Fuji and his parents. And it must've been a bad one.
"They found out, Mitsu."
Tezuka raised an eyebrow. "About our relationship?"
The slender man released his boyfriend's hold and sat on the edge of the bed. He nodded weakly. Tezuka slowly tried to sit on the bed.
"…how?" he asked carefully.
"My father saw us," Fuji turned his head a little,"a couple of times. He said that he was already suspicious since we were in high school. "
"And yesterday, he had reached his point when he saw us kissing in front of my house," he continued.
Tezuka remembered. That was a really foolish act, considering they were in front of Fuji's house, and it was raining. His parents must've been worried and they could look out of the window anytime. But then, passion conquered all the doubts. Fuji was planning to go to Kyushu with his family for a week, so that was the last goodbye kiss.
He wrapped Fuji's body from behind and whispered," I'm really sorry. That was my entire fault."
Fuji shook his head. "No. It was nobody's fault. I wanted it, too. This is our fate, Mitsu."
Both of them were silent. Fuji changed his position to face Tezuka, and buried his head to the older man's chest. Tezuka sighed, trying to find the solution.
"I think you should stay here, and we'll try to make them understand, slowly."
"Aa," he replied, "we're lucky we still have Yumiko-neechan and Yuuta."
He agreed. Yumiko and Yuuta had already found out about this, maybe 3 years ago. Both of them were supportive with their relationship.
"Yumiko-neechan tried to help me. She even got pushed by father because of me."
Tezuka kissed his head. "…we really have to make it up for her."
Fuji nodded. "Mitsu…"
"Hm?"
He tilted his head. "Will we be… alright?"
The former tennis captain looked deeply to the blue eyes, finding worry and fear.
The only thing he could do was to embrace him tightly, hoping that will cease his negative feelings.
"I will protect you."
------
Tezuka put on his black coat. His boss had called him yesterday. He said he wanted to talk about something important. And now he's almost late. He then turned to see his beloved, sleeping soundly on his bed, topless. It's funny how he always smile when he saw Fuji's sleeping face.
Carefully, he grabbed his car key from the bedside table and left the room after taking one last look to the sleeping figure.
He drove to a famous 5-star hotel, located in the heart of Tokyo. After he parked his car, he got in the elevator and pushed the 24th floor button.
A neatly dressed waiter welcomed him after he arrived. "Hattori-san is waiting for you. Please come this way." He led Tezuka to a table near the window, with a old man sitting on its chair.
The old man waved his hand to Tezuka. "Here, Tezuka-san."
Tezuka bowed slightly to him and sat down.
Another waiter came and gave them the menu with a smile.
"I'll have a Cognac. And you?" He rolled his eyes to Tezuka.
"I'll have that, too. "
The other man added, "Ah, and bring us your best cake. Two slices."
The waiter nodded with a wider smile and left them.
"So, Tezuka-san how's your day?" asked the owner of the hotel Tezuka worked on.
This was a really great day. "It's fine, Hattori-san."
Hattori Kondou chukled. "Well, after you hear what I'm going to say, today will be your greatest day of all."
Tezuka gulped his water rather roughly. "What is it, Hattori-san?"
"Listen, I've been your boss since you were young, 23 years old?"
The bespectacled man corrected, "22."
"Ah, yes," he snapped his finger, "and you're like my own son. We built our company together, right?"
He nodded. Hattori was like his own father. He had helped him with all the troubles, and convinced him to be the general manager.
"Okay. Before I spilled the beans, you know that I am planning to open a new luxurious 5-star hotel and resort in Hawaii, right?" He was getting excited.
And Tezuka only nodded calmly. Although he was 65 years old, he sure didn't act like one. Before the white-haired man could continue, the waiter came with 2 Cognacs and two delicious looking cakes.
Hattori leaned back to his chair. "Now is the best part. I have suggested a perfect candidate for director of finance there, and everyone agreed."
With a raised eyebrow, Tezuka quietly drank his Cognac. "Who?"
The old man leaned forward abruptly. "You!"
The usually calm and collective man choked his drink. After that, he coughed. The Cognac now tastes like some weird bitter liquid. Seeing that, Hattori laughed, and quickly got off of his chair and sat next to the poor young man.
"Congratulation, young man! You are the perfect man for this position. I already bought you a nice, big house there, and you'll be moving away on Sunday."
Still gaining his thoughts, he asked, "Next Sunday?"
Hattori proudly nodded. "And you can bring one person with you to live with, your girlfriend, maybe? The company will afford all of your living costs."
"I don't have a girlfriend." But he does have a boyfriend. And now he is thinking very deeply how to explain this condition to him. Yes, today was going to be a great (1)day.
a/n:
(1) I meant that in a sarcastic way
I can't believe I can write a fic in the middle of an exam week. So, yes, I am stupid.
oh, and that 'tezuka working in a hotel' thing, it's just my personal obsession. but won't it be great to see him wearing a coat and black tie, ordering people around, in a hawaiian resort?
kill me if you must.
ah, I'll be waiting for your reviews and critics. Thank you.
