Notes: Something that burned... a concept I'd like to explore further at some opportunity. Maybe a bit OOC, but Fuji is hard to convey via just dialogue.




"Do you ever get jealous?"


"Of who?"


"Oishi."


"You get jealous of Oishi?"


"Nyah! No!"


"Neither do I."


"Really? I mean...."


"Where is this coming from?"


"I... well..."


"Did anyone ever tell you that your face would freeze like that?"


"Grah...."


"You might as well tell me why...."


"I..."


"Are you jealous of Tezuka?"


"Sometimes."


"It's natural, I suppose. He and Oishi have been friends since they started school here."


"It's more than that! Even though he's gone, Oishi is always thinking about him!"


"I've noticed."


"Do you miss anything?"


"Saa."


"That's not an answer..."


"Hmmm?"


"I was being serious. I feel so guilty for feeling... jealous. There, I said it. I'm jealous of Tezuka."


"Everyone is jealous of Tezuka."


"Even you?"


"Maybe."


"How can you be jealous of him? You're dating him!"


"That would be a better reason than most have, don't you think?"


"I... he's perfect."


"No one is perfect."


"But you just said-"


"He's irritating sometimes, though."


"I thought most people said YOU were irritating..."


"Maybe."


"Do you ever give definite answers about anything?"


"Sometimes."


"You're not helping! And can you stop smiling for once! I'm having an emotional crisis here!"


"Sorry. But what do you think, about Oishi?"


"I think he loves Tezuka."


"Maybe. But there's more than one kind of love, isn't there?"


"Yes..."


"And does Oishi love you?"


"Yes."


"Then that's the answer, isn't it?"


"But... I wonder. If I wasn't dating Oishi, and you weren't dating Tezuka, would they be together? Would they be happier without us?"


"I don't really care. I don't intend to let them find out... do you?"


"I... isn't love about making the person you're with as happy as possible?"


"That's selfless love. But that's where jealousy comes in."
