"How's he?" Saeki asked as a doctor came out of the room.
"He's okay now. He just passed out due to lack of sleep, fatigue and stress. We gave him some medicine so he can get some rest. He should be able to wake up after an hour. You can take him home first thing in the morning tomorrow."
"Thank God." Oishi sighed as he heard the news.
"Nya! I thought Fuji has some illness or something! Good thing it's just fatigue!" Kikumaru exclaimed.
"Well I need to go." Oishi said. "It's getting a little dark now. Kaa-san might get worried."
"I'll go too!" Kikumaru said as he walked towards Oishi. "Won't you come with us Saeki?
"Iie…I'll spend the night here with Fuji." Saeki replied as he waved his friends goodbye.
Saeki went to Fuji's room and sat on the couch looking at the sleeping Fuji. Saeki sighed as he remembered what happened last night.
…oOo…
"Hello?" Fuji asked while trying to make his voice as normal as possible.
"Fuji? Have you been crying?" Saeki asked noting the soft hiccups and the change in the voice of Fuji.
'Iie." Fuji lied still trying to steady his voice. Saeki heard something being put inside a cabinet before saying, "Okay. I just called to ask if you want to play tennis tomorrow." Saeki said now sounding worried.
"H-Hai." Fuji replied after a short silence.
"Ja." Saeki said before he hung up.
'I hope he's okay and I'm just imagining things.' Saeki thought before going back to bed.
…oOo…
Saeki was cut of his thoughts when Fuji started to move. He was calling someone, someone that sounded like…
"Tezuka…" Fuji murmured in his sleep before he went back to his peaceful slumber.
Saeki felt his heart being torn into pieces. He frowned and sighed again before he decided to take a coffee in the lounge. He might not be able to take it next time if Fuji called for Tezuka again. He can't, even if he tried.
