*Flashback*

"Ne Tezuka" Fuji began. "What is it Fuji?" Tezuka asked as he continued to change clothes. They were the last two to leave the clubroom.

"I… If…" Fuji stuttered as he tried desperately to say something but found it hard to do. "Just move your mouth and say it stupid!" he argued mentally to himself. Tezuka eyed his teammate suspiciously as the tensai was trying hard to utter something.

"Fuji, just say what you want" Tezuka said a bit annoyed to why his friend was acting so strange.

Fuji swallowed hard as he breathe in deeply. He stared straight into Tezuka's hazel eyes. Tezuka was a bit taken back when he stared into two beautiful blue orbs.

"I really like you Tezuka…" Fuji blurted out, his whole face was red. Tezuka eyes widened at that.

"I… I also like you Fuji, you're a really good teammate and a great tennis player" Tezuka replied.

Fuji felt his heart crush. Was that all he was to him? A team mate? Fuji clenched his hand into a fist as he tried to calm himself.

"No Tezuka… what I mean is that I like you way beyond friendship…" Fuji pointed out.

Fuji waited for a reaction but it was just followed by silence, slowly he went near to Tezuka to check if he was ok.

He was about to touch Tezuka's forehead when his hand was slapped away before it could touch Tezuka's forehead. Fuji's eyes widened at the sudden action.

"Gomen, Fuji… I can't accept you… I… don't like you that way and I'm not gay" with that said Tezuka hurriedly dash out of the room without even looking at Fuji.

Fuji felt his knees go weak, well it was to be expected. He was prepared to be rejected anyway. He was prepared to be rejected but he never knew that it could be so painful.

*End of Flashback *

Fuji woke up with a smile on his face. It was weird to dream about that day since it had been already 8 yrs since he last saw Tezuka.

After his rejection, Tezuka had become so distant to him, they didn't talk to one another when it was not tennis related and Tezuka would never look at him anymore like he did before.

Fuji felt more depressed at that time wishing that he should've never confessed. Tezuka avoided him until graduation and when graduation ended he immediately went to America to study. After that they never had any contact anymore.

The fact that Tezuka didn't want to talk to him anymore was painful but the mere fact that Tezuka was communicating with all of his former team mates except him was devastating.

Fuji smiled as he headed for the shower, he shouldn't start his day with melancholic thoughts, today was his big day after all. It was the day that he would meet Chiharu Kanzaki for the preparations of their wedding.

After showering he dried himself and changed clothes. He went to his kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. He smiled wistfully to himself.

He had such a big and beautiful apartment but it felt cold. He had been living alone for almost 4 years.

Fuji stared at the picture frame on top of his table and smiled softly. It was one of his favorite pictures. It was a picture of his old middle school tennis team when they were on the mountains.

Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't called Eiji about the big news. He took out his cell phone and dialed Eiji no.

"Moshi moshi, Eiji here!" Eiji said on the other line. "Saa, Eiji… it's me Fuji"

"Aah! Fujiko! How are you?!" Eiji asked energetically.

"I'm fine Eiji, guess what, I actually called because I'm going to be the photographer for Chiharu Kanzaki's wedding, Isn't it great" Fuji began.

"Waah…!!! Seriously? Don't joke with me Fujiko!" Eiji exclaimed.

Fuji chuckled softly. "I'm not joking around Eiji, its true."

"That's great!" Eiji beamed.

"By the way, how's Oishi doing?" Fuji asked.

"Nya! He's fine too, but you know Fujiko… Oishi likes to be mean! He uses up all of my tooth paste!" Eiji whined.

Fuji just smiled at his best friend. "You have to get used to that Eiji"

"Hmm… you're right, Ah! Oishi's here!" Eiji exclamed. "Saa… I'll hang up then, I also have to get going. I'm going to meet up with Kanzaki san at 8" Fuji said.

"Ok! Bye Fujiko! Good luck with the job!" Eiji said and hang up.

"Who was that?" Oishi asked. Eiji smiled and gave his boyfriend a kiss. "It was Fujiko! He just told me some great news about his work" Eiji grinned.

Oishi smiled at his boyfriend. He knew how worried Eiji was over Fuji especially when the tensai was busy with work.

"Oh, I got an e-mail from Tezuka" Oishi said. "Really?! That's great! Maybe this time we could set him up with Fujiko!" Eiji wailed.

Oishi stopped. "Uhm… I don't know about that Eiji" Oishi muttered as he stared at the floor. "What do you mean Oishi? Don't you want Fuji to be happy too?" Eiji asked

"Of course I want him to be happy… but I don't think it's gonna work out with Tezuka anymore" Oishi murmured,

"Why?" Eiji asked.

"Because… Tezuka's getting married…"

Fuji waited at the café where he and was to meet his clients. He glanced at the mirror on the café to check out his appearance.

He looked stunning and almost everyone in the café was taking glances on him. Both male and female felt attracted to him. Some women were even jealous of his looks.

Fuji sighed. He was starting to feel uncomfortable when Chiharu Kanzaki finally came.

She was beautiful.

She had long black hair paired up with emerald eyes and a fair complexion. She was tall and had a slim figure.

Everyone on the café eyed her too. Fuji's eyes widened as well, but not because he was overwhelmed with her beauty but rather, he was more focused on the person standing next to her.

Dark brown hair with hints of golden streak, a stoic face which was now looking at him with surprise.

Fuji couldn't believe it.

It was him.

"Hi, you must be Fuji san, I'm Chiharu Kanzaki, and this is my fiancé, Tezuka Kunimitsu…"

Tezuka's eyes widened as he was astound to see Fuji.

He couldn't believe it.

After running away from him and avoiding him, fate had finally brought them here. And fate was surely playing with him. Why did Fuji have to be the photographer of their wedding?

"F-Fuji…?" Tezuka stammered, he wanted to bite his tongue for sounding so stupid and surprised, but he maintained his stoic feature as he gape at the beautiful man in front of him.

How many years has it been since he last saw the tensai?

Fuji felt his heart beat fast and he mentally cursed himself for feeling that way. But it had been so many years since that low husky voice had called out his name.

"Ah… do you know each other already?" Chiharu asked.

Fuji blinked as he snap back to reality. "Uhm… actually we went to the same middle school and were both a member of the tennis club" Fuji explained as he returned back to his usual smiling face.

Tezuka just nodded in response. Chiharu smiled as they all sat down.

"Ne Fuji kun, the wedding will be held three weeks from now and I had hoped for you to join us in this whole three weeks and take pictures. It will then be made into a slide show during the wedding and the wedding reception" Chiharu explained.

Fuji frowned on the inside although he was still smiling in the outside.

He could cancel the contract with them, but then again, his boss might kill him if he did. Anyway, Fuji Syusuke is a professional. He wouldn't let personal matters mix in with work.

"Sure…"Fuji replied smiling. "Great! I'm really happy, I'm sure darling is also happy" Chiharu giggled as she clinged onto Tezuka's arm.

'Darling? What kind of a stupid nickname is that?' Fuji thought annoyed although it didn't show on his face as he was still wearing his smiling mask.

"Well anyway… I'm sorry but I have to go, I still have an appointment, you can discuss the rest with Kunimitsu" Chiharu winked and left the café.

Fuji felt his smile drop upon hearing Tezuka's first name.

He smiled bitterly to himself.

It's ok.

Tezuka never did belong to him. Not even once.

He just had to accept that Tezuka would never be his.

Tezuka stared at the tensai who was sitting in front of him. He couldn't stop staring at him ever since he got there.

He gave out a small sigh as his fiancé left them alone in the café. What was he suppose to say? He had always been a man of few words.

"Ne, Tezuka… it's been a while" Fuji finally said.

"Hn." Was all that Tezuka replied. He didn't know what to say.

It was soon followed by a long silence.

Tezuka took a deep breath.

There it was again. The awkwardness between them. Ever since Fuji had confessed to him, he had found it hard to talk to the tensai when it was not tennis related.

"Tezuka…" Fuji broke the silence once more.

"What is it?" Tezuka asked.

"Congratulations…" Fuji whispered softly.

Tezuka's eyes widened and he could have sworn he heard the slightest resignment in that voice, furthermore, he felt a pang inside of him and he could not fathom why.

Tbc…
