PROFESS: To declare or admit openly
AUTHORS NOTE: I kind of like this one. It's mysterious about who Tezuka is talking about at the end. Is it Eiji? Oishi? Someone completely different? Who knows haha.
"So after he professed, you ran away?" Tezuka clarified Eiji's prespoken words.
"Yea, I didn't know what else to do! Oishi and I have been friends since before I can remember," Eiji said glumly as he plopped onto a nearby desk.
"You like him though, don't you?" Tezuka probed, not looking up from the papers in his hands.
"Yea…" the word was barely audible but he knew Tezuka could hear.
"Then hurry before someone else takes him," Tezuka shooed his teammate away.
"Thank you!"
"I should be taking my own advice," Tezuka grumbled as he watched the boy leave.
END.
