Author's notes :
Hi minna! It has been more than a month since the last time I'm updating this fic. Sorry for the delay. Hmm.. one of my friends, TamaAki Kaeri has helped me making this chapter, she made almost the whole story.. heheh..
Well, please enjoy another angst chapter from me.. Thanks for my beta-readers and all readers. I'll wait for your reviews!
…Chapter 4 : Still Complicated…
Fuji and Eiji spent the last days genuinely. Neither of them talked about the previous case between them. Till one day..
" Minna-san (everybody)! Our class has decided to perform a drama for the Christmas Party. Does anyone of you have an idea for the script?"
The whole class was noisy in sudden. They were busy talking about their 'ideal script'. Somebody mentioned about Snow-princess. The other suggested Cinderella and Sleeping beauty. Others even had an idea of Little Mermaid!!! ^^;;
Eiji looked around, observing the noise. Unconsciously, he said,
"Hhh….I wonder if anybody would make a more realistic story for our class drama…"
Fuji, who sat next to him, surprised.
' It's unusual for Eiji to pay attention about this things…'" For example?"
" yeah.. maybe a story about the daily life.. The palace-centric story is too common. Why don't we make a different story this time?"
" Could you give an example?"
" Hmm… story of friendship…or even a story about a fight between friends or brothers.. Just make it from our daily life.. it's not too difficult and doesn't need expensive equipment.."
"Haaa…? Isn't it too simple? "
"Yeah Fuji, but that's the point. A story that is based from our daily life can be interesting and touchy if we want to... "
And then Eiji looked at Fuji,
"You know Fuji, sometimes, the simple things aren't as simple as how those look. For example, sorry.. I don't mean to make you remember an old story, but do you still remember the time when you and Yuuta hasn't been reconciled, don't you? At that time, Yuuta wasn't consider you as his old brother even though stately, you ARE Yuuta's old brother. Why that thing could happen? It was just because a misunderstanding, right? But, it wasn't easy to solve it, was it Fuji?"
Fuji shocked. He has never thought Eiji would say those words. He smiled at Eiji.
" You right, Eiji.."
Eiji laughed.
" naaannte! it doesn't seem like me at all nee.. to say those words.."
" yeah.. they seem too mature for an Eiji I know.."
" sou kaa (I see).. hahaha.."
In a sudden, Fuji raised his hand.
" Nami-san, Eiji has an idea for our drama's story!"
Nami, who was in bad mood because the students had made noise but no sign to give an idea at all, nodded.
" Okay Eiji, please tell us your idea. I hope it won't make us bored."
Eiji, in the other side, was so shocked. He didn't think Fuji would suggest his opinion for their drama's story.
" A, areee?? Ore no kangaeta?? (Eh? My thought?)" He said shockly.
Then he turned his face to Fuji.
" Fuji…..Omae~~~(you~~~)" he said with his face blushed.
Fuji just gave him his mischievous smile. Eiji gave up and said to the class,
" My idea is…"
And he told the idea in his mind. He explained it as it was a real story that has happened.
After he finished some of his friends looked at him with shining eyes. Others nearly cried.
And their impressions were..
" Eiji-kun!!! SUGOIII (unbelievable)!!!! You are very talented!!! "
" Right!! Your story makes me want to cry~~" said some girls with red eyes.
" HONTOU NI SUGEEE~~~~(really great)!!!!!!"
Then Nami said,
" Minna (everybody)!!! We'll use Eiji's story for our drama script this time!!!"
" Agree!!! " shouted everyone.
Suddenly, Rui, the one who had agreed that Eiji's idea would become their drama story, asked,
" But…who will be the brothers, the main character in this story?"
All eyes were looking at Eiji.
" E—eehhhh???? Ore (I)????" Eiji shocked.
" Agree again!!!!" They shouted.
" And the older brother is???"
" Fuji!" Shouted Eiji.
Now it was Fuji's turn to shock, while Eiji was looking at him with his grin.
"A-ano…Boku ka (I?)"
Everyone shouted again,
" Agree!! Fuji, you're perfect to be the old brother!"
" De-demo, doushite?? (bu..but, why?)" said Fuji confusedly.
" Because Fuji-kun are cool, handsome, smart and GREAT!!!" said one girl.
It seemed like that girl was Fuji's fan.
"And besides, if the main pair in the drama are Fuji and Eiji, of course there will be so many girls who are their fans will come and see our drama!! And boys also, because the ones who adore them were not girls only, but they were also boys, like me…" Kei said with a shy face.
Fuji and Eiji looked at each other.
" But.. we don't even have a resemble face at all.. How can we play as brothers? " Eiji said again.
" no problem.. no problem.." said everybody.
So, after that the whole class made an agreement for the actor or actress in their drama. After finished…
Nami clapped her hands three times, tried to get everyone's attention.
" So, we have decided that our drama would be adopted from Eiji's idea, and the main characters are Eiji-kun and Fuji-kun. Ne, futari-sama!! Ganbatte..!!! (ne, the two of you, please work hard!) Minna!!! We will start the practice tomorrow, let's do our best, everyone!!!"
:::~:::~:::
After that time, Fuji and Eiji were busy practicing for their drama. Tezuka and Fuji's meeting frequency became rare. Tezuka , because he was busy with his school and tennis activities, rarely see or go home with Fuji. But, both of them didn't mind it at all because they were so busy.
Until one day…
Fuji and Eiji were in their way home from school. It was already night because they had practiced the drama for hours.
" Ne, Fuji!!! That was so exciting!! I'm so happy because I've thrown an egg at Aizawa's face!" Eiji said happily.
" Eh? Didn't you say that it was a coincidence before?"
" Yes, It was a coincidence but I'm happy he was the one who got my egg!! Hehehehe…. Because I think he is someone who hate me. I don't like him!"
" Um, yeah.., Aizawa is that kind of person. He doesn't like the well-known type in school; like the brilliant students, funniest student or else. He is jealous, you know?"
" Fufufu….That's why I'm so happyyy!!! Ahahaha!!! Omoshire~~ (it's so interesting)!!"
Fuji laughed a bit. He didn't know why, but if Eiji's happy then he would get happy too. Yeah, Eiji had a thing that could make everyone around him became happy with him. Fuji had already known that. Yeah…. He had known it since a long long time ago.
" Fuji, I haven't seen you laugh recently.." said Eiji.
Fuji surprised,
" really?"
" Yeah, since that time, I've often seen your sad face… Fuji, are you happy with Tezuka?" Eiji touched Fuji's face with his right hand.
A single tear rolled down Fuji's face, unnoticeably by Fuji.
" I-I…Eiji, why? Why do you still care about me? Why do you have to be so kind with me? After All that I've done to you, after I've hurt your heart…After….after…"
Eiji put his thumb -with hand still touched Fuji's face- in Fuji's mouth, trying to make Fuji silent. Eiji smiled.
" Enough, Fuji…Don't talk about that again. Of course it's because you are my best friend, so you are the one that I care much besides my family ….It's impossible I don't care about you…"
After hearing Eiji's words, Fuji's tears were flowing swiftly. In his heart, he still had a question… "that" question..
' Why he still care about me? Why he still can be so kind to me? Even though I've been hurt him, made him unhappy…Why?'
Fuji could feel Eiji stroked his tears gently.
" Fuji, don't cry…. Nothing has to be regret… I don't want to see the one whom I love the most in this world cry…"
Fuji sighed, tried to stop his tears. He held Eiji's hand.
" Eiji….gomen…"
Eiji surprised.
" Fuji, why do you say sorry to me?"
" You always care about me, but I waste it all. I really sorry Eiji…"
Eiji caressed Fuji's cheek. He really didn't want to see the one whom he loves the most in the world sad, And it's because of him, He really couldn't stand it. Even though that person didn't love him, it's all right. He just wanted to see that person happy…
I've often heard about this aphorism
True love doesn't have to get what they want
True love doesn't force
and
I want to believe it
I want to make it sure
but
Can I do it?
Can I really able to see him with another with leisured heart?
"Fuji…It's okay. I've said it before, haven't I? It's enough for me if I can see you happy. I am happy if you are happy…" Eiji tried to convince Fuji even though he hesitated himself.
"Eiji…do you really happy if you see me with Tezuka?" Fuji asked.
'If only Eiji said no. If he said no……Then I…..'
The question made Eiji confused. It was a hurtful question. But…
"Yeah, sure. If that can make you happy, then I…"
"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Eiji looked at Fuji. Honestly, he was not happy if he saw Fuji with Tezuka. He often hoped that the one who went home with Fuji every day, the one who always went everywhere with Fuji, was him… like before…
"Fuji, I…."
'But, I'm not the one who could act! I can't camouflage my feeling! I'm not the one who can wear a mask in my face! I can't! I'm tired! Every time I remember it, my heart aches. I can't stand it!!'
Suddenly, He took Fuji's chin and kissed him. It was the first time he kissed Fuji.
Fuji surprised.
"Eiji, I think.. you…."
Eiji became red. He didn't know why he did that. His body moved uncontrollably.
"I..I …."
Then he turned his body and went away.
Fuji was still shocked.
'When Eiji kissed me, It felt so warm and relaxed. It was so different from Tezuka's kiss.. Were there any weird feeling when I was kissing with Tezuka because I've never been kissed by anyone else before him?'
Eiji, in the other side, hated himself. He has decided to be Fuji's good best friend, but why…
'Damn!! Why did I kiss him?? Then, why my tears can't stop now? Fuji….I truly love you!! I really love you!! I love you more than anyone else..!!! Even though all that time I've been acted like I was okay….but…now I really can't stand my sorrow!! Damn, my tears..please stop flowing! But,, Fuji, Do you know how many tears I've been dropped, how many days I couldn't sleep at all? How many days I couldn't eat? How many days I felt that I wasn't alive?…..Fuji….omae wa ore no kimochi o shitteruka?(Fuji, do you know my feelings?)'
:::~:::~:::

"Minna!! Gladly we present the play from class 3-6 with the title "I Love You, Aniki".

The curtain opened. There was a big applause from the audiences.
