When Fuji Yuuta transfers to a boarding school to be closer to the girl he likes, twin brother Fuji Syusuke tries to follow. Unfortunately there are no more boy dorms available.
Gender Bender
Chapter 5
Anna and the Queen
Fuji Syusuke let out a small moan as he tightened his hold around Yuu-chan… his beloved Yuu-chan. Yuu-chan who was so warm, and… Fuji frowned and quickly spun his head around. Yuu-chan was sleeping behind him, which meant… He glanced down at the girl settled in front of him with her arms wrapped around his waist. Fuji let out a silent scream (in order not to wake up and deal with the crazy lady, not to mention that she was also the cookoo who was dating his twin brother) as he slowly removed her hands from around him and quietly crawled out of bed. He didn't even want to know what Ann had thought about doing or had done to him while he was asleep. Instead, he chose to slip his feet into extremely cute teddy bear head fuzzy slippers, sneak out the door, and run as fast as he could to the only place that would make him feel better. And of course he brought Yuu-chan along with him, because in times of war one should never leave a teammate behind.
"Syusuke. It's late." Yuuta glared, "And you're not allowed in this section of the building. It's boys only."
"But I am a you know what! Yuuta! You don't understand. Let your sweet sister stay in your room! We'll sleep in the same bed just like when we were little!" Fuji begged.
"No." Yuuta growled and shut the door in his face.
Fuji let out a small whine and started to bang on his door, "Yuuta! You can't do this to me! We're twins! It's like letting half of your soul sleep outside in this hallway surrounded by wolves!"
"Then go back to your room!" Yuuta yelled from inside his room, his voice slightly muffled.
"Listen, I can't because…" Fuji frowned, Yuuta would be surely mad if he knew his girlfriend wasn't into boyfriends, "But Yuu-"
"Excuse me Fuji-san, it's late at night and-" A… thing, wearing a purple fuzzy… thing opened the door.
Fuji let out a shriek, "Yuuta! Run! It's horrible!"
"Go to sleep!" Yuuta whined as he shoved his… roommate thing away and slammed the door shut for the second time that night.
"What's going on out here?" A teenager still dressed in his day clothing questioned as he poked his head from out of his room.
"M-My life is ruined!" Fuji cried.
"Well then, please cry somewhere else. It's two in the morning and some people are lucky enough to try and get some sleep." The brunet informed and was about to shut the door, if not for the fuzzy brown bear slipper in the way.
Fuji shoved the door open and let himself in, "Everything is going wrong!"
"Listen, you're-"
"I come to this school hoping to get closer to my precious Yuuta and all he does is push me away. Then I'm stuck in this room with his girlfriend who just confessed her love for me and everything's a total mess… I knew she was a bad egg… Yuuta will probably hate me even more now that what's her face keeps trying to get in my pan- under my skirt." Fuji whined as he sat a top the guy's large bed. He frowned, "Why is your room so big?"
The brunet shrugged, "I don't share a room."
"Why not?" Fuji questioned.
"Student council president." He answered.
"Oh. Well, student council president-san, my life is totally ruined!" Fuji exclaimed.
"Call me Kajimoto." He replied as he picked up his coffee mug and took a long swig from it. (He'll need it)
"Well Kajimoto-senpai, everything's just going wrong. When I came to this school all I wanted was to be with Yuuta. Since Yuuta and I are twins, it's only natural that we're always together. But Yuuta fell in love with some demon woman and I really felt like she was taking him away from me." Fuji began.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm a single child. But I don't think brothers are supposed to be that close." Kajimoto Takahisa shrugged.
"The thing is… Hey! What did you say?" Fuji blinked.
"Brothers aren't supposed to be that close?" Kajimoto repeated.
There was silence.
"Oh!" Kajimoto gave a slow nod, "It's just that your records say that you're a boy. Though I've got to say, you make a pretty convincing girl. Except for some minor details."
"Like what?" Fuji blinked.
"Look at the way you're sitting." Kajimoto pointed out.
Fuji frowned, looked down at his legs, and then looked back up in questioning.
"Cross your legs or at least keep them together." Kajimoto explained.
Fuji complied and wondered aloud, "My records?"
"The principal of this school is actually my aunt." Kajimoto replied, "She doesn't hesitate to pass down her work onto me, while she spends school club and events money going to spas. Besides that, since no one in the office or student council office actually do their jobs; I usually end up doing them. When I looked over your application into Shukuen, it clearly states that you're male. But good disguise."
"Oh…"
"I haven't told anyone, so don't worry. And I believe that all the teachers and my aunt overlooked your gender." He added at Fuji's sudden silence.
"That's a relief." Fuji replied.
"Listen, I'll promise to keep it a secret if you help around the student council office. You don't have to be competent in the work, but I'm sure you'll be more useful than some of the idiots there." Kajimoto offered.
"And I'll do my best only if you listen to my problems." Fuji replied.
"Deal." Kajimoto nodded, "Mind if I do some organizing while you talk Fuji-kun?"
Fuji nodded, watching as the older teenager arranged several loose sheets on his desk and floor and picked up a stray fountain pen, reading, writing, and signing a bit on each sheet before moving on to the next one.
"Did you lose your voice or something?" Kajimoto questioned arching a brow.
"Oh… Well, recently… I feel like I don't know who Yuuta is. Yuuta and I were always so close growing up. It was like we could read each other's minds, like we were the same person. When he suddenly left to Shukuen, I felt really sad. I was really hurt inside. He's a half of me and when he was gone he left a really empty feeling in my heart. So I followed him here. At first I was really happy. But then he fell in love with this… Tachibana Ann. And now they're dating… Well, I think. Because last night she told me that the only reason why she's dating Yuuta was to get closer to me. And now I can't sleep in my bed and in my room because I'm scared of what she might do to my body while asleep. The point is, Yuuta is just drifting further and further away from me.
And then I met Tezuka. Tezuka was the first friend I made coming to Shukuen. I don't usually hang around the girls because all they talk about are things that don't really interest me. So I was all lonely. But Tezuka and I have so much in common! And I haven't noticed it, but it turns out that he's fallen in love with me and I just want him as a friend. But when I told him this, he pushed me away and said that we can never meet again. On top of all that, some girls who are Tezuka fans have been following me around… And I just don't know what to do. I just really want to stay Tezuka's friend."
Kajimoto sighed, "The way I see it, Tezuka will realize that he's being childish, and that being around you and seeing you happy is all that matters when you truly love someone."
Fuji let a shaky smile make its way onto his face, "You say the most knowledgeable things… but it's not that simple. Yesterday this disgustingly charming senpai named Atobe who's been following me around recently protected me from Tezuka's fan girls, and then kissed me. And the worst part of all of it was that Tezuka saw the whole thing. How am I supposed to apologize?"
"You're not supposed to apologize." Kajimoto shrugged, "Is it your fault that you don't feel the same way as Tezuka-kun does? And is it your fault that Atobe-kun kissed you? Besides, you're overcomplicating things. All you need to do is be honest and explain the whole situation to Tezuka-kun. Tell him how much you value his friendship and hadn't realized his feelings that you can't reciprocate. Tell him that Atobe Keigo is a spoiled sophomore class representative who hasn't attended any of the meetings and to think he wants to be student council president next year, and that in turn Tezuka-kun also on the student council as the freshman class representative should at least help around from time to time rather than playing with that racquet of his every single moment of every single day."
"Kajimotousan? Thanks." Fuji smiled.
"… What did you just call me?" The older boy blinked.
"Kajimotousan!" Fuji repeated more clearly.
"… What?" The older boy blinked once more.
"I've always wanted a papa to share all my problems with and to give me guidance. Because when growing up, my father moved to New York, since he's working as a diplomat, so I never really knew him." Fuji explained, "You've really helped me and gave me great advice like any good father would."
"Fuji-kun, I'm too young to be a father and-"
"Please call me Syu-chan." Fuji insisted.
"Why?" He frowned.
"That way I'll feel more like your daughter." Fuji replied with a big smile on his face.
"This is all karma. I was probably a serial killer in my previous life." Kajimoto explained aloud to himself.
"Do you think I can sleep here tonight? I'm kind of scared of my roommate." Fuji asked with a tad bit of shyness, now that he was in front of his new papa.
"Fine. But we're going to keep this a secret." Kajimoto replied.
"Kajimotousan?" Fuji questioned.
"What now?"
"I have a problem where I can't sleep alone." He explained.
"I'm still in the room." He replied matter of fact.
"Saa… But… Can you sleep next to me and Yuu-chan?" Fuji asked as sweetly as a boy dressed up as a girl possibly could.
He frowned, "I really have a lot of work that needs to be done by tomorrow."
"But I've always wanted to sleep with my daddy… Please? Just for one night I want a daddy who puts his children first instead of work. I promise I'll be a good daughter and make you proud." Fuji begged.
Kajimoto arched an eyebrow then sighed, "Fine." With that said, he switched off the lights and crawled into bed next to Fuji. He supposed it wouldn't be too bad having a daughter… son?
That morning Fuji woke up feeling refreshed and absolutely great. There wasn't school today, so he wondered how he would apologize and explain everything to Tezuka. But more importantly, he glanced down at the older teenager sleeping next to him and let a grin make its way onto his face. He always wanted to prepare coffee for his otousan, and his Kajimotousan was also a fan of coffee. With a wicked smile, he slowly slipped out of bed and sneaked out of the room with his Kajimotousan's coffee mug. He whistled as he walked down the hallway into the boy's common room, pouring some coffee beans into the machine and waiting for it to do its thing. He wondered what kind of coffee his Kajimotousan would like, whether it was black, creamed, and how much sugar was just right.
"Fuji-san?"
Fuji dropped the task at hand and turned around to come face to face with the person who had been invading his thoughts recently. He smiled, "Tezuka-san."
"What are you doing here? Girls aren't allowed in the boy's dormitory, vice versa." He frowned.
Fuji took a big breath to calm himself down. Now was the moment of truth, it came a little earlier than he expected and he wasn't quite sure what to say. But his Kajimotousan said to be truthful, so if his words came from his heart he would surely have no regrets on what he was about to say.
"Listen, Tezuka… I really like you as a friend and your friendship is especially important and precious to me since you were one of the first and closest friends I made here at Shukuen. Though I can't reciprocate your feelings, I don't want to lose such a good friend. And what happened earlier with Atobe-senpai… Nothing really happened. He suddenly kissed me and I was just as surprised. So, I'm really sorry you had to see that and if you got hurt." Fuji said with a quiet voice.
Tezuka remained quiet.
"I understand if you don't want to see me ever again… but to me, Tezuka-san will always be my close friend." Fuji offered a bright smile.
"Fuji I-" Tezuka began.
"Syusuke! What are you doing here?" Yuuta exclaimed as he entered the boy's common room followed by Atobe and some… thing dressed in some furry purple thing with magenta… what the heck is that?
"Syu-chan! I couldn't find you anywhere this morning." Ann called out as she pushed her way pass the group of boys, made her way in front of Fuji and gave her roommate the greatest kiss she could muster at 7 a.m. in the morning.
Tezuka, Yuuta, Atobe and… that hideous purple thing remained quiet.
Watching.
Jaws dropped.
Too shocked for words.
"That's right." Ann announced spinning around to give the boys a great big grin, "I kissed a girl and I liked it. I'm in love with Syu-chan!"
To be continued.
Now a quick summary for those who might be lost: Both Tezuka and Atobe like Fuji who is only here to chase after twin brother Yuuta who in turn is here to chase after Ann, Yuuta and Ann were dating forcing Fuji to create a 3 feet tall stuffed bear named Yuu-chan. Ann is only dating Yuuta to get closer to Fuji, which totaly freaked Fuji out of his dorm room. Fuji and Kikumaru sit next to each other in class, and they're becoming great friends. Kikumaru sure does talk a lot about Oishi… And most recently Fuji is the self-proclaimed daughter of one Kajimoto Takahisa.
Note: I don't think that Yuuta will be too pleased next chapter for reasons above. Can someone tell me whether the characters are still in character or starting to get OC? Cause I'm getting that feeling.
Thanks for reading and I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! I'll try my best to upload the next one as soon as possible! :D
