Author's note :
I like Fuji x Eiji / Eiji x Fuji pairings ( I don't know who's dominant ). They look cute being together. It's not that I don't like Tezuka x Fuji , Oishi x Eiji, or other pairings, but I like the first pairing the most.
I wanna say thanks a lot to TamaAki Kaeri-chan who has given me a lot of ideas and to HaruNatsu-chan who has helped me editing this fanfic.
Minna-san, please R&R…
…Chapter 1 : Confession…That Saturday evening, tennis club activity had just over. All Seigaku regular were in the changing room. Fuji Shuusuke walked approach a redhead boy who was packing his bag in the corner of the room.
" Eiji…"
" ow. looked up Fuji… doushita no? "
" ano, Eiji… Can you go to the park near the usual street tennis court at 5.00 p.m. tomorrow? "
" um.. I think so. Why? "
" N..no.. I just want to talk… about something… "
" Sou ka naa.. his face looked astonished Wait Fuji, we'll go home together, okay? "
" eh? Aa.. "
After finished packing his things, Eiji followed Fuji walked out of the room.
" Ja Na, minna-san! " said Eiji with a cheerful voice.
" Ja Na, Eiji… " Oishi replied.
" Bye-bye Eiji-senpai! We're going Echizen! " Momo waved his hand then asked Ryoma.
" Uiss(u)…" Ryoma walked behind Momo with his usual ignoring face.
Still inside the room, Tezuka Kunimitsu observed Seigaku no tensai and one of the Golden Pair member with a cold face.
:::~:::~:::
In the street…
Eiji looked at his best friend. Actually, he was vexed about what will Fuji talk about. But he managed to stay calm, then talked with a roguish tone.
" hehe.. Fuji, you're funny! Why it's so difficult to talk about? Why don't you talk to me now? Must it tomorrow, in the park, at 5.00 p.m.? "
" um… "
" What do you want to talk about, Fuji? " Eiji asked again. He was really vexed at that time.
" … "
" Fuji… "
Eiji stopped his steps then turned back n kept an eye on the light brown hair boy. Fuji, who was feeling observed felt ashamed.
" The.. there's nothing Eiji. Mata ashita! " Fuji ran and left Eiji alone behind.
" Oi! Fuji! "
' what happen to him? '
As soon as he got home, Fuji's body was so trembled. Yumiko, his sister surprised and asked him.
" Shuusuke, what's wrong with you? "
" Nothing.. I'm okay, neechan.. Just need some rest. Ah.. tadaima kaasan.. " Fuji answered.
" okaeri, Shuusuke.. " said his mother who looked worried.
After Fuji went to his room, Fuji's mother and Yumiko talked to each other.
" I wonder what had happened to Shuusuke. It's unusual that he came home in such that condition.. "
" Yeah.. I feel worry too.. "
" What's wrong kaasan? Neechan? Why aniki rushed to his room like that? " Yuuta, who was staying at home that day, asked.
" We don't know either, Yuuta.. " Yumiko answered.
Then her mother said,
" 10 minutes later, please called him to have dinner, Yuuta.. "
" Yes, kaasan.. "
:::~:::~:::
In Fuji's room…
' What's wrong with me? I couldn't talk with him as usual. What will happen tomorrow? I.. I have to confess my true feelings towards him. Even though maybe I'll be rejected. Even though he might hate me.. What should I do? '
" aniki.. aniki.. " a soft knocking sound came from outside.
" Ye.. yes Yuuta? "
" Dinner is ready… "
" okay. I'll be there in a minute.. "
:::~:::~:::
In the other place, Eiji was thinking about the same thing.
He walked entering his home slowly and that made his sisters amazed.
' eh? That's odd that he's coming home without saying "tadaima" happily.. ' thought one of his sisters.
Eiji was lying on his bed, thinking about what Fuji will talk about tomorrow but suddenly he fell asleep, until…
" EIJI!!! Time to dinner! "
Eiji blinked.
' aree?! What time is it? '
He looked at the clock. It's 8 o'clock! So, he didn't do anything from the time he came home – didn't change his uniform, didn't take a bath – instead of thinking what will Fuji talk about.
' uh.. what's wrong with me? ' he thought with a tiny smile placed on his lips.
:::~:::~:::
It was not 5 o'clock yet but Fuji already waiting nervously in the promised place. That place was their favorite place when they were kids.
" Fuji, menggo-menggo!!! " Eiji's usual voice could be heard from far away.
A few minutes later, Eiji who was breathing hard, arrived beside Fuji.
" mattaku. I fell asleep. Menggo-menggo Fuji.. last night, my sisters forced me to accompany them to watch a horror movie. So, after lunch, I was so sleepy and fell asleep.. I'm so sorry.. "
" Ii yo.. " Fuji said and smiled. 'sasuga Eiji.. he's always cheerful.. '
" Have you been waiting long? "
" no.. not really.. "
" Haah.. " Eiji said and stretched his body. " ne, Fuji, so what do you want to talk about?"
Fuji remembered again what's the matter that he asked Eiji to go out today.
" a.. ano ne.. Eiji… "
" hm? "
" er.. I.. I.. I like you.. "
' aree?! What's that? If I didn't get it wrong, he said that he likes me? ' Eiji suddenly panicked. 'wait! Maybe he just likes me as a friend… '
Then he asked innocently..
" e? I like you too, Fuji. If I don't, It's impossible we are still best friends after a long time.. "
" chi.. chigau yo.. "
" chigau? "
" I love you, Eiji.. I love you! " Fuji almost shouted.
" ee.. "
Eiji even didn't have an opportunity to say at least one word, when suddenly Fuji kissed him. He surprised. Fuji, who was amazed with his spontaneous action, immediately ran away with a blushing face.
Eiji stunned for a minute.
' Fuji.. kissed me? So, it's true? He really likes me? So.. '' Baka.. It's just makes him hate me even more. He will think that I'm such a weirdo... Why did I do that? But my body moved unexpectedly and I couldn't control it… '
Suddenly, Fuji felt his right hand was being caught by someone.
" Fuji! Wait! Please wait! "
It's Eiji. Fuji didn't have such a courage to look at Eiji's face. He was scared that he would hear a painful rejection.
Eiji knew that Fuji was so ashamed. He understood that.
Honestly, Eiji was so happy that he could "flying without wings". That phrase was what he had been waiting for a long, long time..
" Fuji.. " said Eiji slowly while raised Fuji's chin asking Fuji to look at him.
" me too.. I love you too, Fuji.. really.. since a long time ago.. " Eiji said softly.
" E.. Eiji.. " Fuji smiled happily. He hugged Eiji.
' I did it! I really did it! I can do it! I'm so happy..' Fuji felt relieved.
All his anxiety fade away. Eiji has accepted his confession. This was a different happiness for Fuji. Different from the happiness of winning a championship , different from the time when he became reconciled with Yuuta. Different.. so different..
