Hi guys!! I'm back!! Thanks to all who reviewed!! ^_^
I'm happy you liked my story.., sorry if it takes me quite some time before I update but I swear I'm really doing my best to be able to update soon.., it's just that school is a real bother! Hehehe…
Anyways, just on with the fic..!!
PS. I OWN NOTHING!!!
He might not look like it but he was really annoyed.
Very much in fact.
Fuji sighed in annoyance as he once again reminded himself that he agreed to do this for the sake of both his job and his friendship with Tezuka.
But why the hell did he have to go to every place the couple went? They even forced him to stay on the same hotel they were at so that he could easily take pictures of them.
What's worse is that he had to endure spending almost all of his time with the two.
Fuji bit his lower lip lightly. Why was he getting so worked up? Wasn't it him who wanted it to be that way?
He shouldn't be feeling that way. It wasn't fair to Tezuka.
"Fuji kun, are you ok?" Chiharu asked softly as she looked at Fuji worriedly.
Fuji snapped out of his trance and gave her a polite smile and assured her that he was fine.
They were still at the car driving to the wedding venue which was going to be held at a garden park.
Fuji took a quick glance at the front mirror only to find Tezuka looking back at him. He quickly avoided the look as he stared out at the scenery.
"What do you think Fuji kun? Green is a nice color theme right? It's Kunimitsu's favorite color and my eye color" Chiharu giggled animatedly. Fuji just nodded in agreement. He wasn't really much in the mood to discuss about wedding matters.
After another half hour ride, they finally reached their destination. They were greeted by Chiharu's parents who arrived earlier that morning.
"Chiharu, this is a wonderfulspot! I like the ambience of it" Chiharus's mother acknowledge. "Thanks mom" Chiharu replied as they started walking to check out the whole place.
"And who is this lovely person?" Chiharu's dad asked politely as he eyed Fuji.
Fuji felt himself blush as he was acknowledged as a 'lovely person'.
"Oh, how rude of me. Mom, dad, this is Fuji Syusuke, he's the wedding photographer" Chiharu introduced.
"Nice to meet you" Fuji said politely as he held out his hand to shake theirs. The Kanzaki's gladly accepted.
"So Tezuka kun? How do you like the place?" Mr. Kanzaki asked. "It's fine" Tezuka replied politely.
Fuji watched them quietly. Tezuka fitted so well with the Kanzakis. It was like watching a perfect family taking a stroll in the park.
They continued exploring the park for quite sometime when Chiharu's parents decided to rest at a café.
"You guys continue checking the place out, your mom and I will rest here for a bit" Mr. Kanzaki said. Chiharu nodded in agreement as she pulled Tezuka to her and continued their stroll.
"I guess my work starts from here" Fuji muttered as he followed the couple.
Fuji knew from the moment he took the first picture he was dealing with trouble and pain. He felt his heart crush at every 'click' of the camera.
They look so happy.
Even Tezuka was able to smile. Fuji felt like crying, how come she could make him smile within a few minutes while it took him 3 years to get the same reaction from Tezuka.
Why does it hurt so much?
Why does his heart feel a terrible pang as he focuses his camera on the two?
He knew he shouldn't be feeling this way. This was work. Personal feelings have absolutely no connection to it at all. That was his own policy.
But still, he couldn't help but feel his heart aching more and more as he continued photographing the two.
He just wanted that day to end soon, and he meant very soon.
He wanted to get away from them.
He needed to, because he knew that he was falling apart.
Because he knew he was letting go of something so special to him.
Tezuka eyed the tensai secretly, he noticed that Fuji was somehow too quiet. Normally, Fuji would just chat away but right now the tensai was really quiet, he just took pictures.
Somehow he couldn't help but feel a slight stinging in his heart. He had no idea why but somehow his heart hurt whenever he sees Fuji.
He couldn't let go of the feeling that he was hurting the tensai.
He was getting confused. Ever since he saw Fuji again he couldn't stop thinking about him. His mind would always wander on the tensai. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help it.
It wasn't fair to both his fiancé and Fuji.
He was getting married soon, it wasn't appropriate to think of someone else. It wasn't as though he was doubting.
No.
Of course not.
He was certain that he loves Chiharu.
She was everything he needed.
Fuji is just a 'friend'.
"Kunimitsu, it's going to start raining pretty soon, I think we should go find a shelter first before it becomes a downpour" Chiharu suggested as she tugged on Tezuka's arm and motioned for Fuji to follow them.
The three of them headed for the nearest café and soon after it started to rain heavily.
"It's a good thing we found a place" Chiharu said as they settled at their seats. Fuji merely nodded in agreement as he took a seat on the opposite side of the couple.
Fuji fidgeted on his seat, he wanted to go back, he didn't want to stay longer with them. If he did he might break.
"Ne Fuji kun, don't you have someone to love?" Chiharu asked starting a conversation. Fuji smiled at her softly. "I do…" Fuji replied.
I do love someone, and he's sitting next to you…
"Really?! Who is it? That person must be really lucky" Chiharu exclaimed.
Fuji chuckled softly. Chiharu was surely an energetic person, she somehow reminded him of Kikumaru.
"Yeah… really lucky…" Fuji muttered as he took a quick glance at Tezuka.
And you're luckier to have him love you…
"Syusuke?"
All three of them turned to face the person who interrupted their conversation.
Fuji's eyes shot open as he let out a smile.
It was Atobe Keigo.
Fuji felt himself ease, Atobe's prescence made him more comfortable now.
"Keigo? What are you doing here?" Fuji asked as he stood up to greet the former king of Hyotei.
"Ore sama wanted to see you of course" Atobe smirked as he approached the tensai and patted his head softly. "You haven't change much Syusuke" he muttered.
Tezuka watched the two sternly.
They call each other at first name basis?
He didn't know why but he felt a strange sensation currently occurring on his stomach. He watched intently as Fuji gave Atobe a warm smile and he suddenly felt the urge to pull Fuji away.
Don't touch him!
Tezuka felt his eyes widen in surprise at his own thought. Why was he thinking that way? What right did he have to think that?
He felt the weirdest sensation in his body when Atobe touched Fuji affectionately, yet he couldn't fathom what it meant.
Jealousy?
Tezuka stopped.
Wait?
Why would he be jealous?
There was nothing between him and Fuji to begin with, and he was engaged.
'But what was it that you were feeling a while ago?' a voice echoed on his head.
Tezuka shrug his head to let go of the thought.
He wasn't jealous.
Definitely not.
"It's been a while Tezuka, I see you've become what you've always wanted" Atobe said.
Tezuka faced Atobe. "Thank you, so have you" was his curt reply.
Atobe gave a small smirk. "Still as stoic as before"
Tezuka ignored the remark.
"Ore sama heard you're getting married" Atobe remarked.
"Ah, sorry for my rudeness. Atobe, this is Chiharu, my fiancé" Tezuka introduced.
Chiharu gladly offered her hand to shake Atobe's.
"I'm glad to meet the heiress of the famous Kanzaki financial corporate, I am Atobe Keigo" Atobe said politely.
"Soka, the pleasure is all mine, your family are good friends of ours" Chiharu replied.
"Ne Keigo, I didn't know you could be nice" Fuji whispered jokingly as he pulled Atobe closer to him so that no one else would hear his comment.
Tezuka clenched his hand into a fist at Fuji's action. What the hell did the tensai have to say that he had to pull Atobe like that?
Why were they so close? Fuji didn't even like Atobe when they were in middle school.
Especially when he was badly injured in their match.
Tezuka stopped in realization of his own thoughts. Again, he questioned himself.
Why was he feeling that way?
Why did he have to question Fuji's relationship to Atobe?
Why did it matter?
Why did it even bothered him so much?
Why?
He couldn't understand it.
Wasn't it him who rejected the tensai in the first place?
So why was he acting like that?
He had no right to be angry or jealous, it was him who pushed Fuji away.
He should be glad that Fuji moved on.
He should be happy that there is someone who would love Fuji back.
"Kunimitsu!" Chiharu shrieked.
Tezuka looked at her questioningly and followed her gaze, his eyes widened in realization.
The glass he was holding shattered on his hand.
