Author's notes :
Uh.. sorry, I was busy with all my school activities recently, so I couldn't upload this chapter sooner..
Thanks for everybody who had reading and reviewing my fanfic! And, as it always, special thanks to HaruNatsu-chan n TamaAki Kaeri-chan (sorry for bothering you again..)!
To Neri Maxwell, thanks a lot for your suggestion.. I really appreciate it. ^_^ Sorry, I forgot to put the translations on chapter 2. Do you want me to re-update chapter 2 with the translations? It's okay! If you want it, I'll do it! Heheh.. On this chapter, I put the meaning on the brackets next to the words or the sentences like you want. Actually, it kind of confusing for me to put the translations on the top or the bottom of this fanfic, so I chose to put them in the brackets. Hope you like it! Thanks for reading n reviewing my fanfic!
…Chapter 3 : Complicated…
Fuji spent his school holiday confusedly. Tezuka, day by day, became more and more aggressive chasing him. Till one day, Fuji decided to choose Tezuka. It's not that he didn't love Eiji anymore, but… when was spending his time with the cold captain, he felt more like lovers.
A few days afterwards, they came back to school again and did the club activities as usual. Until that time, Fuji didn't tell anything about his decision to Eiji. He didn't know how to tell the redhead boy about that.
After the club activities…
"Heeh… I'll have a Physics test tomorrow! Muzukashii naa.. (so difficult naa..) Ja, minna-san! I'm going home now! Mata ashita! (see you tomorrow)" Eiji left the changing room in such a rush.
" eh~.. ano Eiji-senpai.. always high-spirited as usual…" said Ryoma.
" Sou! Sou! (that's right!)" replied Momo.
" eh, by the way, Momo-senpai, you had promised to treat me a hamburger, darou?! Don't pretend that you've already forgotten about that. You lose from me at yesterday's match!" Ryoma smirked.
" shouganai naa.. kono yaro! (can't help it.. this brat!) okay..okay.. in the usual restaurant deshou?!"
Then the two of them left.
Seigaku regulars came home one by one. There were just Tezuka and Fuji left. Outside the changing room, Fuji was waiting for Tezuka who was locking the door.
" So, you still haven't told Kikumaru about us?" Tezuka asked Fuji.
Fuji nodded hesitantly.
" When will you tell him?"
" mada… wakarimasen.. (I still don't know..)"
" Fuji, I want to clear all this things. I don't want an unfigureable relationship like this. You know that I love you so much, Fuji…" Tezuka pushed Fuji to the wall and kissed him passionately.
:::~:::~:::
On another place at the same time…
" Shimatta! (Oh no!) I left my Geography notebook in the changing room. Uh! That's annoying!" Eiji shouted loudly.
With a cute *hmph!* expression, he turned back to school. When he almost reached the changing room, he could hear some voices, but not so clear.
' Hm? Who is still in the changing room at this time? I think all of them already went home. Heeh.. who cares!? I just need to hurry..'
He walked again. But, just a few meters from his destination, the view that he saw in front of his eyes made him shocked.
' Fuji and Tezuka were… kissing? "
Eiji smiled bitterly. Without saying a word, he left that place. Tears were flowing swiftly from his eyes.
' Fuji, how could you do that to me? You deceived me… how could you… It hurts… It really hurts…'
:::~:::~:::
The next day in the class, Eiji looked so sleepy, pale, and his concentration was completely deteriorated. His usual 'genki'(cheerful) attitude was missing too. That made his classmates puzzled and worried, especially Fuji who sat next to him.
" Eiji, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
" hmm? ah, iee.. daijyoubu dayo, Fuji.. (no, I'm okay, Fuji..) Just lack of sleep cause studied Physics till midnight yesterday.."
" Are you sure you're okay?"
" um.. " Eiji nodded slowly.
But.. the truth is.. he was so sad and couldn't sleep even a minute because of what he saw in the evening. It really hurt him to think about that. And when Fuji was talking to him like before, it was hurt even more. He knew exactly that Fuji wasn't his anymore. But why he didn't say a single word about that? Honest words couldn't hurt more than saw the truth in front of our eyes..
:::~:::~:::
That evening at Fuji's house…
" Shuusuke! Eiji is coming! He wants to see you! " Fuji's mother was calling Fuji. But there is no answer.
" Gomen ne, Eiji. (I'm sorry, Eiji). Maybe he didn't hear my call. Why don't you go to his room. You know where it is, right?"
" Is it okay, obasan (auntie)?"
" Of course! You have been Fuji's close friend since a long time ago, haven't you? Don't need to feel uneasy. You are welcomed at this house at any time…
" Thank you obasan.." answered Eiji, smiled.
Then, Eiji went to Fuji's room, er… Fuji Shuusuke's room I mean.. ^_^;; He knocked the door. A few seconds later, the door opened. Fuji looked surprised when he saw Eiji.
" Eiji?"
" hoi-hoi Fuji! What are you doing? Your mother have called you a hundred times before.."
" eh? Sorry.. I was listening to my discman at that time. Please come in.."
" thank you! Am I disturbing you?"
" No, of course not.."
Silence…
Fuji was confused. Must he tell Eiji about his relationship with Tezuka or just waiting for another time?
" Fuji.."
" ha..hai (ye.. yes..)?"
" Did you see my Geography notebook? I think I left it in the changing room yesterday. I forgot to ask you before."
" Oh.. yes, here is your book. I'm sorry, I forgot you give it back to you.."
" It's okay! Thanks Fuji!"
Silence again for a minute.
" a.. ano.. Eiji.. I.."
" hm? "
" I.. ano.. I.."
" ? "
" um.. iee.. nandemo nai..(no, nothing..)"
Eiji looked at Fuji like he had known what Fuji wanted to talk about. He was ready to hear the admission. What he saw yesterday was a prove. Even though it was hard, but he managed to stay calm.
" So, Fuji.. You had chosen Tezuka?"
Fuji snapped.
" Eiji! You already know about that?"
" um," Eiji nodded. " Sorry, I saw you and Tezuka um.. last evening.."
Fuji didn't know what to said. He felt guilty.
' Last evening… Oh my god.. He saw that. It must be so hard and painful for Eiji…'
" E..Eiji.. I'm so sorry. I'm really really sorry. It's not that I want to hide my relationship with Tezuka from you, but.. but.. I can't.. te.."
" It's okay Fuji. I understand.." cut Eiji.
" Sorry.. I didn't mean to hurt you.."
" I had told you before, right? It's okay. I just need to know the truth, Fuji. I just need to know your true feelings.." He touched Fuji's cheek. He could saw the sadness in that boy's eyes.
'yeah.. it's hard for me to accept this, but it must be hard too for Fuji to tell the truth.."
" ne, Fuji, we are still best friends, aren't we? If you have something that you want to share with me, I'll be there to hear you anytime. Just like what you will do for me. Do you still want to be my best friend?"
Fuji nodded. Eiji smiled warmly.
" You don't need to worry about me. Find your own happiness! Don't pretend me to be a burden." He tried to cheer up Fuji. " okay, I'm going home, Fuji! Ja! Mata gakkou de! ( See you at school!)"
After Eiji left, Fuji still felt so guilty.
' Eiji.. I'm so sorry.. I'm the one who started our relationship but I'm the one who breaks it too. I feel so guilty that I think I can't even face you anymore..'
