You are the reason that I cry.
But you are also the reason I live each day.

"How could you be so stupid?" A voice asked.
"I don't know…" another voice replied.
Hazel eyes stared at the cup of tea he held in his hands.
"He loves you, Tezuka. How could you reject him?"
Said man tightened his grip on the cup as he felt his heart twist and turn.
"He does not deserve me, Atobe. He deserves someone better! Someone who can let him smile truly." Tezuka's voice then became softer, "Someone who isn't me."
The diva abruptly stood up and turned around to leave. Not before saying something.
"If you are that stupid, then you may be right. He doesn't deserve you. But he never thought of that, didn't he? He still chose to love you because of who you are." Atobe scoffed, "And ore-sama can't believe that you still rejected him."
Tezuka then followed suit and stood up, "But we can't be accepted by society, Atobe. You know that."
"You think that he didn't think of that? You think he didn't think of the consequences?!"
Tezuka couldn't think of anything to say.
Atobe was right.
Would Fuji love him if he didn't know the consequences?
Tezuka never felt so stupid in his whole life.
And all it took was one conceited diva to wake him up.
"You better make the right decision, Tezuka." Atobe spoke once again, "You don't know how much one suffers when one sees the person he loves the most get hurt loving someone. Someone who isn't you."
With that Atobe did his dramatic exit.
-o0o-
Fuji ran away as fast as he can.
'That was the main reason why he couldn't love you, baka! He already has Atobe!'
Fuji roughly wiped away the tears with his knuckles as he turned around a corner and leaned on the wall.
He planned on spending his afternoon peacefully. He only wanted a peaceful walk.
But instead he just had to see Tezuka with Atobe.
"You're so stupid, Syuusuke…so…stupid…" Fuji slid down further as he hugged his knees sobbing out his heart's content.
-o0o-
"Ohayo, Fuji." Tezuka greeted as Fuji entered the courts.
Fuji only gave him a glance, his eyes momentarily opening revealing sad cerulean eyes, before continuing towards the court not before muttering.
"Ohayo, buchou."
Tezuka blinked.
Fuji had never called him 'buchou' it was always 'Tezuka'.
Why now?
Tezuka's eyes lingered on Fuji a bit more before letting out a sigh and began giving out orders.
'Interesting. Just yesterday too Tezuka met with Atobe. Presumably, Fuji saw them and jumped into conclusions. That's unlike him. But he might have.' Inui adjusted his glasses 'But why would he when they just walked home together? Then that means that their relationship is getting better.'

Dinner that night at the Fuji residence was uneventful. Yumiko was out late for work and only left them food to reheat in the microwave. Yuuta decided to stay there for the week since their school dorms was undergoing small renovations.
Even though he'd say that he hates his brother's guts, he still respects him. And he also cares for him. And for that reason, he's going to talk with him.
"Is there anything wrong, aniki?"
Syuusuke looked up and smiled, "Nothing's wrong, Yuuta. Why'd you ask?"
Yuuta only shrugged, "Just asking."
Just as they finished eating, the dorrbell rang.
"Please get it Yuuta, I'll do the dishes." Syuusuke's voice rang from the kitchen.
Yuuta decided to obey him since he seemed out of it.
As he opened the door, he didn't expect himself to meet a man wearing a white polo shirt with khaki pants. Chocolate eyes hidden beneath glasses and mahogany hair ruffled but still looked decent.
"Tezuka-san."
"Is Syuusuke home?" his deep voice rang through his ears, 'Syuusuke? Since when – '
"Yuuta, who is it – oh…buchou…what can I do for you?" Fuji's voice seemes cold and Yuuta was the unfortunate one to stand between them.
Great. Just great.
