CHAPTER ONE

"Okay people, gather now!!!" Coach Ryuzaki commanded.

It's another fine yet tough practice day for the tennis club as their coach called their attention and made them gather in line formation. Though it's beginning to be hot, the smile on their coach's face doesn't change a single tissue. With that kind of expression, the regulars and even the members didn't have a single clue why their coach is smiling.

"I have good news guys. We are lucky to be answered by the administration to have a new wall practice area." She announced gleefully.

All the members including the regulars are happy about it. On the contrary, Tezuka was the ONLY one not smiling and the LAST person on earth that would dare to smile. What he doesn't know is, Fuji was already staring at him and smiling so…so… Well…leave that to Fuji…

Anyway, the jumping-jack of Seigaku, Kikumaru Eiji glomped his coach and said, "Can we use it now? Can we, can weee?!!"

And as always, the mother hen of Seigaku, Oishi Syuichirou, restrained his partner, "Eiji! Let sensei talk will you?"

"Gomen sensei…" Kikumaru said in a low voice, answering like a child.

"It's okay, Kikumaru, Oishi. I'm happy that you were excited to use the wall practice area." She paused then continued, "Well, I just can't keep the fun all by self ne?"

Everyone nodded.

Coach Ryuzaki chuckled, "All right, as far for now, our dear regulars will have the chance to use it first, then followed by the members, okay?"

"YEY!!!" yelped Kikumaru.

"Settle down Kikumaru," the coach said, "there were a total of 15 wall slots with dividers in there. So you are free to choose where you will play."

Kikumaru was jumping for joy and can't wait any longer.

"Okay regulars, you may go now."

Tezuka, as always stoic and very concerned about his members' training, interrupted, "But sensei, how about the first years' and the second years' trainings?"

Coach Ryuzaki smiled and said, "Don't worry about them Tezuka. I'll handle this one. Now, move along with them."

Kikumaru and Momoshiro are waving a hand to Tezuka.

Kikumaru said, "Come on buchou! The fun is not complete without you!!"

Momoshiro seconded, "Kikumaru-senpai is right!"

With an inner sigh and a sigh of relief, Tezuka bowed and went away.

00oo00---00oo00---………---00oo00---00oo00

AT THE WALL PRACTICE AREA (which was practically made beautiful and relaxing to practice…)

A large WOW-sound was heard and echoed all throughout the place. Kikumaru was doing acrobatics, not because he's practicing but to show his utmost awe-ness to the area. Tezuka and Echizen remained straight-faced and Fuji wore his sweet, serene smile.

"I really love this place!!!" Kikumaru exclaimed then faced Fuji, "Nya Fujiko, do you also like this place?"

Fuji answered, "Yes Eiji. It's so kawaii!"

"You're being too Kikumaru-senpai-like, Fuji-senpai." Echizen commented as he walked at the side of Fuji.

"Hmm," Fuji sounded then spoke, "I'll take that as a compliment Echizen."

"Che!" Fuji smiled wider at him and ruffled his hair.

Echizen shoved away his senpai's hand and said, "I told you not to ruffle my hair right?!" After that he walked away and went towards the 4th slot.

"You made Echizen mad at you again, don't you?" Tezuka asked bluntly.

"Hmm…guess so?" Fuji replied with a teasing tone of voice.

Tezuka glared him.

"What?" Fuji teasingly asked.

"Nandemonai…I'll go now and practice."

"Is that the way you answer the person who beat you in the glare-innocence match?"

Tezuka death-twitched-glared him.

Realizing, Fuji stopped teasing and walked away as well.

After minutes of area-wandering and talking, the regulars have already taken their slots and practiced there. Loud thumping balls were heard as it were hit continuously back and forth. Not-so-far-away from the regulars, Fuji actually took the last slot and practiced there. His face was showing determination and his body was in its best coordination, shape and condition to play. The moment he stopped to wipe off his sweat from his face, a thin, sharp needle passed by the bushes and unnoticing hit Fuji's clear, cream neck, which made him jump a little and rubbed off the material without even knowing what it is. As he looked into his palm, he saw and felt the sticky, yellowish-white substance yet it didn't smell that awkward. He didn't even bother to doubt about the substance because he thought of it just as a gooey substance. Moments later, he felt himself shaken, with his eyes dizzy then eventually, collapsed to the ground.

Upon hearing the unusual blag in the not-so-far-away spot, Momoshiro took a quick glance to the place and saw his senpai lying unconsciously on the ground. He shouted his name which shook the worlds of the other regulars.

"Momoshiro!" Tezuka annoyingly called, "What the heck are you shouting for?"

"Fu-fu…" At first…Momoshiro can't pull the right words out of his mouth because of the sight-shock he got, but then he continued, "Fuji-senpai…! He's…UNCONSCIOUS!!!" after saying with his lips trembling, he pointed out where Fuji was.

The regulars' eyes, most especially Tezuka's orbs, went wide at the picture they saw. They immediately dropped down their rackets and ran towards the poor, unconscious Fuji.

00oo00---00oo00---………---00oo00---00oo00

Well, not to mention, Echizen remained calm and poise. It was already in his nature to ignore the things that doesn't have any connections to him. Since everyone stopped from practice, he too also stopped and rested under a mango tree. As he took his seat, he noticed two quick flashes from the inner most part of the low trees and bushes. He blinked his eyes twice and thought of somebody in there. But with his unforgivable nature and of his laziness, he didn't even bother to seize them and just made his way to his dream land.

00oo00---00oo00---………---00oo00---00oo00

Just after Echizen made his way to slumber, the regulars took Fuji to the clinic. And at the clinic, the regulars were sick worried about Fuji's sudden faint until the nurse went out to report.

"What happened to Fuji?" Oishi asked with a worried face.

"Don't worry about him, "The nurse assured, "He's totally fine now. The only thing is his temperature gotten high all of a sudden that made him dizzy and faint out. He also has a fever."

"Fever?!" Kikumaru blurted out, "How can he have a fever if we knew he's still in good shape a while ago?"

The others nodded.

"Uhm, you can't say when the fever will come out or not. Surely, he got exhausted, didn't drink water and eventually cause to trap the heat inside his body."

"Oooh…" echoes emerged from the regulars' mouth.

"Right now, he needs the ultimate rest he could get. Since it's already 5:45 pm, you can tell your coach to go home. If you want, you can consult a doctor at the hospital."

"Ahhh…I'll try that," Tezuka said and offered, "I'll carry Fuji now."

"You sure?"

"Yes nurse. Thanks for the help."

"You're welcome."

After that, Tezuka bowed and went inside to carry Fuji in a piggy-back style. Although he knew that Fuji was a bit heavy, he sacrificed his broad body for his sweet boyfriend. As he walked out of the room, he nodded his head as a signal to his teammates and left the clinic. The nurse smiled.

As the team walked to the court, Momoshiro noticed the absence of Echizen,

"Have you guys seen Echizen?"

The regulars halted, giving each other a look and a shook of the head.

"Let him be Momo. I'm sure he'll be back. Besides, he could be as worried as us towards Fuji. Maybe he's still at the wall practice area." Oishi said.

Momoshiro did nothing but was helped with a sigh.

00oo00---00oo00---………---00oo00---00oo00

Later, they have approached the tennis courts and to a heaven's astonishment, Coach Ryuzaki saw the sleeping Fuji at Tezuka's back.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Fuji collapsed a while ago." Tezuka replied straightforwardly.

Placing a hand on Fuji's forehead, Ryuzaki-sensei said, "My, my, Fuji caught a fever."

"That's why we're hear coach." Oishi said.

"…We're asking for permission to be dismissed early so that we could bring Fuji home." Kikumaru seconded.

At first, Coach Ryuzaki thought with her hand under her chin. But then, she nodded as a sign of approval. How lucky they were to have a coach like her.

Tezuka was left behind with the coach so that he could take care of the tensai while the regulars went back to the wall practice area to pack and get the bags of Tezuka and Fuji, including theirs too. After a while, the regulars bowed their heads and left the court. Shortly before they exited the school, this time, Kikumaru noticed Echizen's absence.

"Ne, minna," he called, "Has anyone seen Ochibi? I haven't seen him since Fujiko collapsed."

The other regulars looked at each other and realized that Echizen wasn't really with them. In conclusion, all of them sighed. Their minds can't decide if their young tensai's gesture was really natural or he was just scared to see fainting people. Double sigh.

"What's the problem with that guy?! Can't we just even get a single SUPPORT from him?" Momoshiro exclaimed madly.

"Calm down Momo," Kawamura said, "You know Echizen, he doesn't like these kinds of things but I do believe he does worry about Fuji right now."

Momoshiro can't still believe it but he stayed himself put.

00oo00---00oo00---………---00oo00---00oo00

Speaking of which, the youngest tensai of Seigaku was still under the mango tree, sleeping peacefully like a child that got tired after a long play with his playmates. Echizen didn't even know that his senpais already left him already and left the school as well. Good thing that in his own little sense, he has a good memorization of direction. As he woke up, he saw two distinctive figures – one is a little bit chubby and the other one is just fine. As his eyes began to see clearly, he said,

"What are you staring at?"

"Uhm," Kachiro said, "We are kind of planning to try this wall practice area when we saw your bag lying at one corner of the 4th slot."

"Since we cannot see you around," Horio seconded, "I used my 4 years of tennis experience instincts to find you. And here we are."

Echizen's eyebrow twitched. It seemed like he already wanted to kill Horio for boasting himself to him.

"Where are the others?" Echizen asked.

"Didn't you know that our senpai's left already?"

Echizen was dumbstruck, "Honestly, no."

"Eh?!" echoed the two.

"Yes, my knees are already craving for the need of rest so that's why I'm here."

"Unbelievable…" Horio mumbled.

"What did you say?"

"Uh nothing…"

Echizen stood up, afraid of Horio telling his senseless stories, "Well, I might as well leave."

"Wait, how about telling Ryuzaki-sensei about your leave, huh?" Horio asked.

"Then tell her that I left with the others."

After that, Echizen left the two behind, got his bag and exited the practice area.

00oo00---00oo00---………---00oo00---00oo00

ANGEL'S HAVEN CONDOMINIUM…8:30 pm…

Fuji and Tezuka were actually living together. Ever since Tezuka was disposed from the family, Fuji gladly accepted him with all his heart. Not to mention, Fuji was a son of a great photographer who gets a very big salary from work. Though Fuji accepted Tezuka in the Condo, he never let his lover pay in return. All he wanted is his love and loyalty for him and the promise that no matter what happens, they will stay intact at each other.

Right now, Fuji was resting at Tezuka's lean, bare chest, while Tezuka was taking the joy of staring the tensai's serene face. He does really look a sleeping child, he thought. Suddenly, the tensai moved his head side by side, then opened his eyes. With those blue orbs meeting the hazel orbs of his lover, he saw his precious Tezuka staring at him,

"Where…what…" Fuji said in confusion.

"Shhh…" Tezuka hushed, "We're back at the condominium."

"But…"

"Don't worry okay? Besides, you made me worried…"

"Worried?"

"Yes. We saw you lying unconsciously on the ground."

Fuji was simply speechless. He never received such care and love as what Tezuka showed him. It was indeed that he never regretted the day he accepted Tezuka in his arms. Returning the favor, Fuji tried to move and motioned himself to Tezuka to give him a kiss. But due to his condition, he felt dizzy again and fell on top of Tezuka.

"Oh, careful Syusuke."

"Thank you Kunimitsu."

Tezuka planted a chaste kiss on the tensai's forehead then said, "I guess we have to sleep."

"Yeah…"

And that's the beginning of a new journey of Fuji and Tezuka.
