I don't want to forget you

Because just the mere thought of you and I feel happy.

-o0o-

Fuji let out a groan as he woke up. Rubbing his eyes, he slowly sat up on his bed.

He went inside his bathroom and stared at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes revealed confusion, sadness and hurt.

'You've got to move on. He doesn't feel the same way for you so get over it.'

He then took as shower and after a few minutes, he emerged out of the bathroom with the towel only covering the lower part of his body. He ran his fingers through his wet hair and proceeded to wear his uniform.

"Ohayo, nee-chan" Fuji greeted cheerfully as he went down the stairs, "What's for breakfast?"

Yumiko looked over her shoulder and smiled at her brother, "Toasted bread, bacons and eggs."

Fuji smiled at his sister as he began eating. It was silent at first, and then Yumiko decided to talk.

"You know, Syuusuke, you can tell me anything that's bothering you."

Syuusuke cursed silently knowing he can't escape his sister. "What do you mean nee-chan? Everything's fine." He then stood up and grabbed his bag, "I'll be going now, nee-chan."

Yumiko only watched as his brother went out of the house before letting out a sigh, "Syuusuke's already grown-up…"

-o0o-

Fuji's mind wandered off as he walked towards Seigaku. He had thought that he should've not told Tezuka how he felt, because if he didn't then he wouldn't have to feel awkward when he's near him. But he somehow didn't regret telling him though because he finally got a load off his chest.

Giving out a sigh, he looked up to see that he was already nearing the gates; he put up his usual façade as he entered. As he approached the gate, he was met by Inui who was casually leaning against the entrance.

"Ah, Fuji, ohayou."

Fuji smiled at the data man, "Ohayou, Inui. What are you doing here?"

Inui was about to tell him the reason but then said, "Ah, Tezuka, just the one I need to talk with."

Fuji's breath hitched. He slowly turned around and gave Tezuka a smile, "Ohayou, Tezuka."

Tezuka, in return, gave Fuji a slight nod before turning back to Inui, "What did you want to talk with my, Inui?"

Inui took out his trusty notebook and then looked over to Fuji, "Fuji, if you don't mind, I need to talk with Tezuka alone."

"A – ah… ja ne." Fuji then left without hesitation. But not before giving Tezuka one last look.

-o0o-

"What do you need to talk with me, Inui?" Tezuka asked as soon as Fuji was out from the view.

Inui flipped through the pages of his notebook before glancing up to Tezuka.

"Ever since you've returned from the hospital, you've been acting out of character. There are also times wherein you would look at Fuji and your frown would deepen by 0.21 mm or more." Inui adjusted his glasses a bit before continuing, "I wouldn't be assuming if I were to say that you reciprocate his feelings for you now, would I?"

Tezuka's brows were knitted together, "I don't understand what you're saying, Inui. But if you're telling me about something as petty as this, then I must get going."

Inui gave Tezuka a side glance as he passed by him, "You have not been walking home together with him when you usually do. And you're sudden denial just increased the percentage. Ii data."

Tezuka paused a bit on his tracks after hearing what Inui had told him before proceeding to walk away.

-o0o-

"Everyone's dismissed!" Tezuka's voice rang throughout the court.

Everyone gave out a breath of relief before proceeding to change.

Fuji purposely took his time changing. He waited for everyone to leave before going out of the club room. He then saw a figure leaning standing by the gate. His eyes slightly opened before approaching the figure.

"T… Tezuka…." Fuji felt his chest tighten.

Tezuka turned around to see Fuji, "Fuji."

There was a moment of silence between them.

"Would you like to walk home… together?" Tezuka asked.

Fuji felt butterflies in his stomach.

The smile on his face became genuine as he smiled at Tezuka.

"Sure."

The walk was silent but comfortable. They both didn't want to break the silence.

"Tezuka," Fuji began, "Just forget about what I said, okay?"

Tezuka looked at Fuji, "What do you mean?"

Fuji gave out a light laugh, "I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. So, just please forget what I say."

Tezuka didn't say anything in return and before they knew it, they had already arrived Fuji's place.

"Thanks for walking together with me, Tezuka." Fuji smiled at his captain before turning around.

"I can't force myself to forget what you said, Fuji." Tezuka's voice rang through Fuji's ear.

Fuji stopped on his tracks before letting himself smile. He then proceeded to walk inside the gates.

Tezuka's gaze followed Fuji's body until it finally disappeared behind the door before proceeding his walk towards his house.

-o0o-

I can't force myself to forget what you said, Fuji.
