I do not own Prince of Tennis
Chapter 2
RECAP: "Ryoma… He won't be happy if you were acting like this… He wants you to be happy. Ryoma, you don't have to forget but you have to move on."
"How can I move on?! I loved him! He left me! How can I ever move on with this feeling still in my heart?! I haven't seen him! I haven't said my good byes! I haven't said I love you one last time! How the fuck can I move on?! How Fuji-sempai?!" I yelled looking straight into Fuji's now opened eyes. I felt weak showing Fuji this side of me… Out of nowhere, I felt a sharp pain on my cheek. I touched my now red cheek, and looked up to find angry cerulean eyes staring at me.
"Why did yo-" I was cut off by a pair of lips…
"I love you Ryoma…" Fuji said shocking me.
"Fu-Fu-Fuji…" I stuttered
"Syuusuke…" He corrected.
"Hn…"
"I will help you move on Ryoma… You just have to trust me…" Fuji said pulling me once again into his arms. I relaxed into his arms and nodded.
"I promise you Ryoma… I won't leave you." Fuji said kissing my head.
"Is it okay if I tell the others? They've been worried about you." Fuji said walking with Ryoma back to the courts.
"Hn."
"They were kind of shocked when you yelled at them." He said as Ryoma pulled the tip of his hat down. Once we reached the courts the rest of the regulars looked up and stared worriedly at Ryoma.
"Gomen…" He said not even looking at them.
"Ryo-chan… they can't see your face." Fuji said as he took Ryoma's hat off of his head showing everyone Ryoma's face.
"Gomene…" He said softly surprising everyone. They never expected Ryoma could talk like that… he sounded… cute…
"KAWAII OCHIBI! I FORGIVE YOU!" Kikumaru said jumping onto him.
"Kikumaru-senpai!" Ryoma coughed while he was being squeezed almost to death by Kikumaru.
"EIJI!" Oishi exclaimed prying him off of Ryoma.
"Echizen what happened?" Oishi asked still holding Kikumaru back. Ryoma just put his head down not looking at them and told them the whole story. Fuji wrapped his arms around Ryoma trying to comfort the boy.
"Nyaa?! How come Fujiko gets to hold Ochibi and comfort him like that and I can't?" Kikumaru whined. Ryoma was about to answer but Fuji beat him to it.
"Can't you see we're happily in love and now in a happy relationship?" Fuji smiled while Ryoma's eyes widened and struggled out of his hold. Once Ryoma got out of Fuji's hold he glared.
"Who says we are?" Ryoma huffed.
"I promised I would never leave you, my love." Fuji smiled wider and hugged him once again.
"Ochibi?! And Fujiko?! Are together??? KAWAII! NYAA~" Kikumaru exclaimed. The regulars just gaped at the newly couple.
"Echizen, I'm sorry for your loss but, are you ready to move on?" the mother hen, Oishi said.
"Hn." Ryoma blushed as Kikumaru squealed.
"Ochibi is blushing!" Kikumaru pointed out to everyone making Fuji amused. As everyone congratulated Ryoma, Tezuka pulled Fuji out to talk to him privately.
- - - -
"What are you doing Fuji?" Tezuka asked.
"What? Is it wrong to fall in love with someone Tezuka?" I asked.
"I know that's not the reason." He said keeping a straight face.
"Saa… You're no fun." I pouted.
"Why are you doing this then?"
"I was asked to by his parents." I said.
"Why?"
"Help Ryoma out of his depression."
"Have you ever considered how he would feel if he found out about this?" He said
"He won't. I'm just helping the cause."
"Fuji, I'm warning you, he will get hurt." Tezuka said and walked away. I just watched him as he walked away back to Ryoma.
'Ryoma wouldn't get hurt. Right? He's a strong boy.' I assured myself and followed Tezuka back to Ryoma.
- - - -
"Buchou?" I asked. Something in his eyes I knew there was something wrong.
"What is it Echizen?" Tezuka said. Everyone around them ignored them and continued to talk to each other.
"Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing." I looked at him worriedly. I noticed he didn't even look straight at me...
"Hai…" I sighed but I didn't take my eyes off him.
"Echizen."
"Hai?"
"Don't let your guard down." He said and patted my head. 'Buchou patted my head… He never does that…' I shrugged it off thinking it's just how Tezuka was.
"Ryo-chan!" Fuji's voice called. I turned around in annoyance.
"Nani Fuji-senpai?!" I growled. Fuji smiled that smile of his and moved closer to me and Tezuka.
"Tezuka." Fuji said.
"Fuji." Tezuka said. The two looked at each other for a second and looked away.
"Ryo-chan! Let's go on a date after school!" Fuji said happily.
"Yadda." I huffed.
"Let's go or else…" I was confused on why he didn't finish until I felt his tongue lick the shell of my ear.
"Y-y-yadda Fuji-senpai!" I blushed and pushed myself away from Fuji.
"Ochibi and Fujiko!!! Kawaii!" Kikumaru squealed.
"Ryo-chan we've been over this… Call me Syuusuke." Fuji said walking closer to me.
"Yadda." I crossed my arms.
"Say it."
"No."
"Say it."
"N-"
"Or else you know will happen." Fuji smirked at the reaction I made.
"Sy-Syuusuke." I blushed.
"You're so cute you know that right?" He said touching my face.
"Tch. Baka." I blushed. I looked at my watch and noticed it's time to go to class.
"I have to go to class." I said.
"Fine, we'll eat together in lunch."
"Yadda." I said and left before Fuji could say anything.
- - - -
I sighed as I closed my eyes to take a nap. I was at the roof for lunchtime to not only avoid Fuji but to also think. 'Is Fuji serious about this?' I asked myself. But shook my thoughts of him out of my head. My thought turned to the memories of Seiji… I sighed once again and took a nap.
DREAM:
"Where am I?" I looked around to find… nothing. It was just black… No one there.
"Ryoma!" A voice called. I looked around… No one.
"Who's there?"
"Ryo!" I looked around again and found Seiji right there. His crimson orbs staring at me lovingly, his messy blonde locks, that bright smile he wore that would brighten anyone's day.
"Se-Se-Seiji! Y-you're here!" I smiled and ran into his arms.
"Seiji! Seiji! Seiji!" I exclaimed happily as I nuzzled my face on his chest.
"Ryo… " I felt his hand touch my cheek so gently and lovingly.
"Echizen." A stern voice said. I looked back and saw Tezuka standing there.
"Buchou?" I was confused… Why was Tezuka here?
"Don't let your guard down."
"Huh? What do yo-"
"Ryo-chan." I jumped a little and turn back to Seiji who was not there but the one and only Fuji in my arms.
"Fuji-senpai?!" I exclaimed. I looked around for Seiji but found him long gone…
"Ryo-chan… I love you." Fuji said
"Echizen, don't let your guard down." Tezuka repeated. I was so confused… My head started to spin all I wanted to do was get the heck out of here. So I did what I thought first… run. I ran and ran without looking back. After what seemed like an hour of running I stopped and my knees collapsed making me go to the ground. I grabbed my head in pain.
"SEIJI!" I yelled. I looked around finding no one… just myself once again…
"Ryo-chan…" I turned to find Fuji behind me.
"Fuji?"
"Trust me… I'll never leave or betray you… just trust me." Fuji said before disappearing. Suddenly I felt this world start to shake. The floor broke making me fall into the bottomless hole. Before I knew it my eyes opened and I sat up, waking up from the dream. I held my head trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Dreaming about me ne?" A voice said. I turned to face the one and only Fuji who was smiling.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You were moaning my name Ryo-chan…" Fuji smiled evilly.
"Urusei."
"I thought we were going to have lunch together? But since we're alone… let me show you how much I love you." He crawled on top of me and pushed me back to the ground, straddling my waist as he used one hand to pin both of my wrists above my head.
"Fuji-senpai! Stop it!"
"Nope."
"ECHIZEN?! FUJI-SENPAI?!" an annoying voice exclaimed. We both turned to see who it was and found Horio, Katsuo, Kachiro, there with their mouths agape.
"Oh crap. Now he's going to blab to everyone that we're together." I growled.
"Well that'll let everyone know that you're mine now." Fuji said leaning down to give me a quick peck on the lips.
"ECHIZEN/RYOMA IS GAY?!" The three said simultaneously before fainting.
"Get off Fuji-senpai." I said trying to get his hand to let go of my wrists.
"Yadda." Giving me another peck on the lips.
"Fuji." A stern voice called. We both look back finding Tezuka right there.
"Buchou!" My eyes widened and then looked away… I was too embarrassed to look at him when I was stuck in this position.
"Tezuka…" Fuji growled but didn't move off of me.
"Fuji I don't think Ryoma likes you doing that to him." He said. I blushed for it was the first time Tezuka ever said my name. Fuji noticed the blush and growled possessively. We stood still in silence until the bell rang for class. Fuji got off of me, took my hand, and pulled me with him to class with Tezuka behind us. I sighed. 'Am I really going to love Fuji-senpai?' I sighed again looked Fuji who was dragging me to my class.
- - - -
After three months since the announcement of me and Fuji dating, I really did begin to fall for him… I don't know why but I did. The more I got to see him my heart sped up and I felt so happy to see him. Every time he first sees me he would always whisper an 'I love you' in my ear. It took me a while during those three months to answer back but once I got to, it made Fuji happy.
"Oi Echizen! Go find your lover and bring him back! Ryuzaki-sensei is calling for him." Momo called to me from the courts. I nodded and left to look for Fuji.
I walked up the stairs to the roof where me and Fuji usually spend out lunch time together. I was about to open the door until I heard two voices.
"You can't keep this up Fuji." Buchou? Why was he here?
"I can and I will… I'm doing this to help him." Fuji? Why was he with Buchou?
"If you don't tell him now he'll be hurt."
"Ryoma is a strong boy, and I know that for sure." Why was going to hurt?
"I know you're helping him that time but now he's falling for you and what happens when he would find out you're just with him because his parents told you to, to help him get through that depression." My eyes widened… he was just with me cause MY PARENTS told him to?! I was angry… but all I could do was cry…
- - - -
"Do you not care how he would feel?!" Tezuka said raising his voice a little.
"Of course I care! But he won't be hurt because he won't find out."
"He deserves to know!" Fuji was about to yell back until the door slammed open revealing a tear faced Ryoma. The two just stood there in silence looking at Ryoma.
- - - -
"Am I a joke?" I said breaking the silence.
"No Ryo… you're not…"
"Is this relationship a joke?!"
"No Ryo… Don't misunderstand…"
"Don't misunderstand?! I think you misunderstood everything!"
"…"
"You just dated me because MY PARENTS told you to?! Do you even love me? Or is everything you said to me a joke?"
"…"
"Huh Syuusuke?!"
"I'm sorry."
"That's not going to cut it! I loved you! You said I can trust you… You promised you wouldn't betray me… but I guess you were lying about that too." Tears began to fall to the floor.
"Ryo-"
"Don't call me that… We were never close…"
"Ryo…" Fuji tried to hug me but pushed him away.
"Was it fun?"
"What?"
"Seeing me fall for you so hard when you felt nothing towards me."
"No! I do lo-" I shook my head and took a step back away from him.
"DON'T JOKE AROUND! DON'T EVER COME NEAR ME EVER AGAIN!" I yelled and ran out leaving Fuji and Tezuka who was shaking his head.
"You brought this on yourself." Was all Tezuka said before leaving Fuji there who began to punch the floor in anger.
