Fuji was fixing things yet again in his children's nursery. He couldn't seem to be contented with the designs he had put in it. He wanted the best for his babies. He played Mozart music as he roamed around. He enjoyed the stillness of the apartment and he enjoyed the music. It gave him the sense of peace.

He was about to put the baby clothes in the cabinet when he suddenly had the urge to eat something sour. He smiled as he put the clothes in the cabinet before going to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He stopped short when he realized the he was lacking fruits already. He pouted as he closed the fridge. He wants to go and buy but his body doesn't seem to be in the mood to go out.

He slowly walked to the living room and stopped when he saw the bags that Tezuka had left there the day before. He was supposed to leave it alone but the curiosity overcame his will so he sat beside the bags and opened one of the bags. He saw clothes in there; baby clothes that were unisexual in colors of green and white. There were also baby shoes of the same color.

He opened the other bag and saw huge albums in there. He opened one of the albums and almost dropped it when he saw the contents. The contents were his pictures; pictures from when he was 12 years old. All of the pictures were obviously stolen but all of them were clear and his face was taken clearly. "H-how…" he couldn't even think of a reason why somebody would have his pictures when he was twelve. He opened the other albums and his questions were answered. From when he was twelve until lately, all of them were in the album. His images were there.

You do not know but I have been following you around these few months after graduation…. He heard Tezuka's voice in his mind.

Does that mean that ever since first year of middle school he had been following me? He thought. No, that's impossible! He never saw me! He never noticed me!

"Stupid, Tezuka." He murmured as tears flowed down his cheeks. He can feel Tezuka's love for him through those photos in the album. It had been six long years that the captain waited for him and it was not the captain who didn't notice him at all but it was him who didn't notice the captain. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." He cried as he embraced the album. Why does it have to be painful when one falls in love? He was not really sure who he was calling stupid; himself or Tezuka.

I love you! Tezuka's voice echoed in his mind again. His heart constricted in pain. I'm sorry for what I did that night. I never meant to abandon you. I was scared. I was hurt. I was stupid.

He was still crying when the doorbell rang. He wiped away his tears and took a deep breath as he slowly stood up and walked towards the door. He opened it and saw Tezuka standing outside with a basket full of fruits that looked really delicious for Fuji. "What do you want?" he asked in a cold voice to hide the excitement that he has for the basket full of fruits. Yeah, he was excited but it was for the fruits, not for Tezuka.

Tezuka smiled at him. "I have some fruits from my brother. I thought that you might want some because of the baby… you know…?"

"No." Fuji said then slammed the door. He smiled behind the door.

Tezuka stood dumbfounded. He pushed the doorbell again and smiled when Fuji opened the door. "I have some orange—"

Fuji slammed the door again. Deep inside he was happy that Tezuka was there and that he's trying to gain Fuji's trust again but Fuji won't make it easy for the ex-captain of Seigaku tennis team, alright?

Tezuka waited five seconds before pushing the doorbell again.

"Urgh! Come in!" Fuji said as he opened the door for Tezuka finally. His brows were knitted together so he'd look frustrated.

Tezuka smiled triumphantly. He entered the apartment and followed Fuji to the living room. He stopped short when he saw that his bags were already open and that the albums that he had since he was in first year middle school were scattered and opened too. He really didn't notice that he had left his bags in the tensai's apartment until now. He bought those baby clothes for the baby and he chose green coz he was not sure about the sex of the baby yet. And those albums… well, they should have been his secret until he dies but it seems that the other brunet has seen it and there's no turning back.

"Are you a stalker?" Fuji asked without looking at him.

"Uh… yeah, sort of…" Tezuka said as crimson colored his handsome face.

"Do you know that it's illegal to take pictures of people without their permission? You can be imprisoned because of that!" Fuji's voice lacked any emotion so Tezuka knew that the tensai was angry.

"Yeah, but I was not the one taking your pictures. It was my brother. I had to pay him my monthly allowance just so he'll give me the pictures he had taken so technically, it will be my brother who'll go to prison if ever and not me." The taller brunet said as he scratched his head sheepishly. He had kept that secret long enough and it's time for the tensai to know the truth behind all the playboy acts that he had done these few years. "I first saw you playing tennis at the park at summer before the start of first year middle school. You could say that I fell in love at first sight coz the truth is I thought you were a girl at first and it took me full five minutes to realize that you were a guy. My brother was there with me and he knew immediately that I loved you so he said that he'd help me take some pictures of you if only I'll give him my monthly allowance." Tezuka couldn't help but smile at the memory. He remembered how his brother had called him romantic that day.

"There were times when I couldn't take your pictures from him for a few months coz I needed the money to buy some things and I'll only be able to take them when I have the money." Tezuka continued. "I knew everything about you since the first day of school except the fact that you had told me in the infirmary when you got yourself injured. I never knew that you were raped. But even though you were a whore, I still loved you nonetheless. You were my target, the reason why I kept going to school and practice tennis even though I so wanted to just stay home and play with my games."

"That's crazy." Fuji said as he turned around and looked at Tezuka. His eyebrows were knitted together in a frown. I never knew that he was this talkative. And for Fuji, that's a sign that the ex-captain really is crazy. "You're crazy."

"I know." The former captain said with a smile. "I'm crazy for you."

Fuji grabbed the bag of fruits from Tezuka and walked towards the kitchen.

Tezuka just stood there, not knowing what to do anymore. He had told the tensai the contents of his heart and it seems that the other brunet hasn't accepted it yet. He sighed as he knelt and took one of the albums and looked at it. There was a photo were Fuji was wearing an over-sized shirt coz he was drenched due to the naughtiness of Echizen and Momoshiro who accidentally poured juice all over him. He had borrowed one of Kawamura's shirts that had been too huge for him. Tezuka smiled at how sexy Fuji had looked back then. He remembered how everyone in the team who saw the tensai blushed furiously. He licked his lips.

"Getting horny just because of my pictures again, Tezuka?" Fuji said who was already standing by the center table. He was carrying a tray full of sliced and unsliced fruits, a pitcher of juice and two glasses.

Tezuka smirked at Fuji. "Well, you did look hot in this picture." He said as he pointed at the picture he was staring at.

Fuji smirked back. "I suppose I'm not as hot now." He said as he sat down on one of the sofas. He caressed his rounded stomach.

Tezuka stood up only to seat down on the sofa opposite Fuji again. "Not really. You're really beautiful right now. You look like an angel." He said truthfully.

Fuji laughed. The sound was like music made in heaven for Tezuka. "Shut up, playboy." He said as he took a piece of orange and peeled it.

Tezuka laughed too. "Hey, what the hell are you saying? The baby can hear you, you know." He said as he took a slice of apple and bit it.

"Babies." Fuji corrected.

"Hnnn?" Tezuka looked at Fuji with a piece of apple in his mouth. He couldn't understand what the tensai was talking about.

"They're twins so you should say 'babies' not 'baby'." explained Fuji as he tossed a part of the orange in his mouth as muttered an 'uhm-hmm' grunt.

Tezuka's jaw dropped for a full minute before his eyes glinted with excitement. "D-do you know t-their sexes yet?" he asked. His heart is stammering hard against his chest as he had realized that he'll be a father of two. He was excited and that's obvious in his face.

"Girl and boy." Fuji answered simply without looking at Tezuka. He knows that Tezuka is excited just by hearing the former-captain's voice and he was happy for that.

"D-do you have names f-for them yet?" Tezuka asked with those shiny, glittery sparks on his eyes.

"Do you have any suggestions?" asked Fuji as he gave Tezuka the give-it-to-me-now look that seems to challenge the former-captain.

Tezuka thought about it for a minute before he smiled at the tensai. The thought of being the one to give names for his children warmed up his heart. "What about Umi and Nisu?" he smiled when he remembered the nickname Fuji had given him before. Nimi… "Syuumitsu and Kunisuke"

Fuji choked on the orange that he has eating at the names given by Tezuka.

"Are you alright?" asked Tezuka as he rushed beside Fuji and gave him a glass of water from the pitcher on the side table.

Fuji sipped the water slowly and looked at Tezuka. "You thought of those names?" he asked with the I-can't-believe-it look.

"What? I think they're cute." Tezuka said with a pout. He felt as if Fuji was making fun of the names that he gave the kids. He wanted his children to have their names and he thinks that the names he had given are the best for an amateur name-giver like him.

Fuji stood up and asked Tezuka to follow him. He led the taller brunet to the nursery and showed the father of his children the room that he wanted to be their children's palace.

"Syuumitsu and Kunisuke?" Tezuka looked at Fuji before moving into the room that was painted with blue and pink in different shades that gave it a soothing feel. He touched the cribs.

"Yep and I was supposed to give them the nicknames Syuumi and Nisu." Fuji said. "But I suppose Umi is better than Syuumi. Umi as in the sea."

Tezuka smiled at Fuji.

"But that doesn't mean that I'm forgiving you."

"I know. This is enough for me for now. At least, I'm having some steps towards you at a time." Tezuka said. His heart expanded with the happiness and love that he was feeling for Fuji and himself.

Fuji smiled back at Tezuka.
