2nd - Unexplainable
"It's raining… just like that day."
A forlorn figure was leaning on the wall with his sapphire eyes focused on the outside. It was raining heavily outside of the school, reminding him of a particular match he had against their team's youngest regular months ago. The match was thrilling as both prodigies tried to win against each other. But, Fuji did hold back, only displaying half of his strength instead.
Vividly, he remembered after the match, Tezuka approached him and asked him two questions. He answered the first one and ignored the second one by keeping silence.
"Where does your real self lie?"
This question, no matter what, Fuji admitted he could not find an answer to that. Maybe he already had the answer and was reluctant to reply the soaking captain. Or maybe he did not understand himself well enough to find such answer within himself.
The sandy-haired boy emerged from the shelter and walked into the rain, welcoming the sensation of the coldness on his skin as he was soaked wet. He looked upwards at the dark clouded sky with a small bitter smile.
"I am sure you won't be able to find an answer to that, Tezuka."
As if on cue, he felt someone's presence behind him and he already predicted who it was. Fuji closed his eyes, ignoring the other to enjoy the rain a little longer. Meanwhile Tezuka only stared at the shorter boy in silent. They needed not to speak in full sentences to know what was going on. It was ordinary for them to communicate with a few words, or sometimes, without using any words. Actions spoke for them, and both comprehended it well.
"I don't understand why you asked me that." Finally, Fuji decided to quit his mind games and go for a direct question as he gave a bemused look at the taller.
"Not everything is explainable, Fuji," Tezuka replied shrewdly as he gently pulled the prodigy closer to him, shielding him from the rain with his umbrella.
Perhaps, they really did not need a reason to stay together after all.
