"Have you arrived safely? Is Yuta-kun still with you?" the voice from the phone asked.
"Yes, I have arrived. Yuta isn't here. He goes back immediately since the emergency service is still shorthanded." Fuji walked into the apartment building and waited the elevator. His brother dropped him from the car near his apartment building and went back to his office.
"I see. I see. Thank you very much for your help for all these time, Fuji-kun." He laughed.
Fuji smiled hearing the man's gratefulness. "It's my pleasure, Yamashita-san."
"Well, your leaving is a big loss for us here. If you ever need a job, please come to us. We will accept you anytime and it's a pleasure for us."
"Yes, thank you very much."
"Well then, Fuji-kun. I wish you all the best from now on."
"Same here, Yamashita-san. Good bye."
The head chief of emergency unit which he worked for months now greeted him good bye and hangup the phone.
Fuji pulled his suitcase and pressed his room's floor. He leaned over the elevator's wall and waited.
He just went back from his winter work in Yuta's office. He made a decision in a rush but he was glad he did it. The winter at that small town was harsh so they need more people to manage it. He spent almost all his day to help the farmers and sometimes their families to keep the house safe. Sometimes when incidents happened he had to help out, too. The emergency staff weren't as much as this town so they had to do their best to keep everything okay. The job was hard and stamina depleting but he was happy there. The people were nice and didn't hesitate to help each other. Fuji had one time lost in the forest when he had to help the farmers to collect the woods, it was an embarrassing moment but the citizens didn't think twice to go on search. The forest wasn't a small one and Fuji almost gave up in believing that someone would find him. They found him on the next morning, it was very frustrated and uncomfortable for him to make people fuss over him but he was grateful for that, too. From that time he never forgot to bring a compass whenever he had to go ibto the forest again.
If he didn't have a responsibility here he would be a volunteer to work there but he couldn't leave his job here, too. His contract clearly stated that he works till February moreover he had to complete his final papers for his graduation. He wished he could stay longer. Being there help him a lot, he didn't have time to think about anything else that unrelated to his jobs, when he had free time he would spent it by sleeping or attending the small party which held by the citizens. He ended as a helper too, but he enjoyed it. Being there helped him to forget about his problem, his fear and also about Tezuka.
He rarely thought about that man. He didn't think about him, he just missed him badly. Sometimes when the sky was clear and the moon was bright he would remember the time he spent with Tezuka. He wanted to hear from Tezuka; what he did, where he went to, how was his health, how was his Christmas day, who did he spend it with, there were many more he wanted to know. He didn't leave any information about his work to Sei-chan and his friends. He didn't want anyone to disturb him or rather he didn't want to hear the happy moments of Tezuka and Sei-chan. He was envious of them, especially Sei-chan because he could be with Tezuka whereas he couldn't.
Fuji passed the front door with a sigh. The suitcase was left on the hall and his coat was thrown on the sofa. Finally. The long journey made him tired. Fortunately he had asked a cleaning service to clean his apartment the day before so he didn't need to spend more time and energy to clean it.
He went straight to the kitchen and drank two glass of water. I will just take a shower and then go to bed. The food can wait, he thought.
He made a mental note to go to the grocery and convenient store to top up his foods and daily needs. He had to tell the emergency unit about his arrival, too. There were still many works to do.
"That can wait." Fuji went to the bathroom and took a long bath. The hot water was soothing his tense muscles and his hazy minds. He needed his sleep immediately, he sighed. It was definitely the best.
The bath helped a little, no it helped a lot. His headache wasn't as bad as before and his body was relaxed now after the shower. He drained his hair and body then went to the bedroom. Fuji was humming and putting his blue cotton sweater and trousers, his best outfit to go sleep when his doorbell suddenly rang.
Who is that? Is that Yuta? Does he forget something? Fuji discarded his towel and went to the front door. His apartment wasn't provided with a peeking hole so he didn't know who was there. It was risky and he knew it. He wanted to move into a better apartment but his job wasn't a well-paid one and it was nearer from here. He decided to add a DIY store into his long to do list.
When the door was opened he had to control his gasp. The men behind the door were the last people who he thought he might see. His cousin and his boyfriend were standing right in front of his door. Fuji tried to control his heartbeat and expression to be as calm as he could.
"Syuu-kun, I heard from Yuta this morning that you will be home this afternoon. Welcome back!" Sei-chan smiled and hugged him.
Yuta? When did he? How? But why? All of those thoughts swirled in his head.
Fuji nodded hesitantly, he didn't dare to look at Tezuka, he was afraid that Tezuka would find him strange staring so intensely and he was afraid that he would become sentimental and cried right there.
"Ah, let me introduce you to this man, this is Tezuka Kunimitsu, a tennis athlete. Tezuka, this is my cousin, Fuji Syusuke."
Tezuka extended his hand to give Fuji a handshake. Fuji looked at Tezuka and his hand, he was unsure what to do. Should he or should he not take it, "Syuu-kun?"
Fuji wiped his hand on his trousers silently before reaching out to Tezuka's hand. He just hoped that his hand wasn't too cold. "Tezuka Kunimitsu." He said with a steady voice.
Fuji almost said his name when he realized that from all aspects Tezuka knew about him, Tezuka knew his voice the best. Fuji didn't said anything and nodded politely instead. If his guests found it strange they didn't said anything at all.
"Well, would you mind to let us enter?" Sei-chan pouted.
Fuji bit his lower lip, he didn't want to have them inside of his apartment but he didn't have the chance or way or heart to chase them away so he moved aside to give them a way to come into his apartment.
Sei-chan walked in first while humming then followed by Tezuka. When Tezuka passed he looked at Fuji as Fuji looked at him, too. Tezuka's gaze met him and they spent several seconds to look at each other until Fuji casted his gaze away to hide his blush. Tezuka changed a lot, he was more handsome now after gained some weight and in his casual attire. Fuji closed the door and walked into the livingroom, Sei-chan and Tezuka sat on his sofa comfortably.
"Ah, I want orange juice, please. Tezuka what would you like?" Sei-chan asked the man.
"I don't need any. Thank you." He looked at Fuji, again.
Fuji blinked and turned to his cousin, he tugged, no, dragged his cousin into his kitchen. He didn't say anything until they were secured in his kitchen, "What are you doing here, Sei-chan?" He whispered, oh, how he hoped to be able to shout!
"Why? I want to visit my long lost cousin. Is it bad?"
"No, not if you don't bring Tezuka-san!" Fuji sighed, frustrated.
"What are you talking about, Syuu-kun? He is just Tezuka." His cousin laughed.
His cousin laughed. He dared to laugh! "Damn you, Sei-chan. Don't you remember that you asked me, asked me pretending to be you months ago? What if he realizes that I was you that time? How would you explain it? Don't you think at all?" Fuji wanted to stomp his feet, bang his head into something or rather his cousin's head.
Yukimura didn't listen to him but he inspected his fridge instead, "Syuu-kun, you have nothing in your fridge!"
Fuji rolled his eyes, "What do you expect? I just went back half an hour ago. I haven't have a chance to go shopping, well, you arrived in the wrong time. I have no food to eat and clearly no orange juice for you. Next time please tell me in advance so I can prepare a banquet for you." Fuji crossed his arm, "Shouldn't you bring a welcome back present instead?" Fuji rebutted.
"Silly me, I forgot. I just too excited to meet you until I forgot about it." He giggled.
"I have no food to eat, no beverage to drink and nothing to talk to you so if you may, please leave." Fuji sighed.
"So cold, Syuu-kun. After all the difficulties I passed up until now, I definitely have something to do with you!"
Fuji raised his brows, "What is it? Another faking scheme?" Fuji asked sarcastically.
"How rude!" Yukimura pouted. "No, it isn't. Tomorrow is your birthday or it should be your birthday but it's nonexistent day for this year too, ne? So I want to take you to onsen! As a gratitude about last time and also as your birthday gift."
"No, thank you." Fuji replied deadpanly.
"Eh? Why?" Yukimura whined.
"I just got back here and I still have many things to do rather than going to onsen. You may ask another person to go with, Sanada-san, perhaps." Fuji reasoned.
"He is going too, you know?"
"That's good. So have a nice day." Fuji ushered Yukimura out of his kitchen.
"Tezuka will go too."
As if that would be better. "Definitely no. Can you just leave me alone?" If just now Fuji was annoyed this time he was clearly irritated, added with anger.
"No! If we go just by three of us, one of us will be a third wheel and it wouldn't be good for me and my boyfriend."
Screw that, Fuji swore.
"Please? Please? Pretty pretty please?" Yukimura blinked. Fuji didn't budge. Yukimura sighed dramatically, "Okay, if you don't wanna to go. Last time you asked me to stay right next to Tezuka and I do it. He is coming with me is the evidence, no? Don't you think you owe me one?" Yukimura put his forefinger on his chin as if he was thinking something.
Fuji flinched, that's right. He leaned on his kitchen set and sighed. He didn't know that his cousin would use his request to blackmail him, again. No, he already knew his cousin would use it one day but not this early.
He didn't want to go to the onsen. He had enough of it. He didn't want to see his love interest had a great time with his own cousin. He would rather die than watching them having a good time. Then again he had this request to pay back.
"Okay. I'll go." He said at the end.
"Really? That's good!" Yukimura laughed, delighted.
"Just send me the time and place, I'll go there after my work." perhaps I get lost and can't reach the destination, Fuji mused.
"No need, I'll pick you up tomorrow at two in the afternoon."
"But my work.."
"Tomorrow is Saturday, Syuu-kun so there will be no work for you. Got it?"
Fuji threw his hands, he would never win in an argument with Yukimura.
"Great. See you then." Yukimura stepped aside but Fuji grabbed his arm, "Remember, I am having a sore throat and I lost my voice at this moment." He glanced toward the livingroom.
"Okay, okay. I got it." Yukimura waved nonchalantly.
"Let's go, Tezuka." Yukimura said when they were stepping back into the livingroom.
Tezuka was standing in front of bunch of photos which Fuji took. They were collection of his life. Fuji felt uncomfortable with it, he was afraid that Tezuka would find something. "Hn.. I thought you want to stay longer? Is there something wrong?" Tezuka gazed over Fuji again. Fuji thought it was unsettling.
Fuji nudged Yukimura using his elbow, "Nah, my little cousin here doesn't have anything to eat or even drink and I am not in the mood drinking faucet's water." Fuji glared at his cousin.
"Should I go to buy you something? I'm sorry for not bringing anything for you." He looked at Fuji, not even lifted his gaze to Yukimura.
Fuji shook his head, wanted to reply Tezuka's words but he couldn't so he nudged his cousin one more time. "Don't worry about it, he will redeem it by coming to the onsen with us." Yukimura said happily.
Fuji rolled his eyes, he didn't want to appear as an ungrateful person in front of Tezuka even if they would be rarely meet. He nudged his cousin for the third time to gain his cousin's attention.
"I swear Syuu-kun, if you poke my waist one more time I'll tell Tezuka 'the park incident' right here and right now." Yukimura said in a pissed voice.
Fuji bit his lips and his hand fell beside his body. His cousin was an evil. He looked up to Tezuka and found the glasses man smiled at him. Fuji had to suppress his blush, he thought he would suffer a heart failure if he spent more time with Tezuka.
Tezuka replied Yukimura with an amused voice, "I would be glad to hear about it, though."
"Really? I'll tell you on our way home, then."
Fuji was alarmed, he didn't want anyone hear about his embarrassing moments moreover it was Tezuka. He grabbed his cousin's arm, don't you dare!
"Oh, look, Syuu-kun is very happy to share it, too." Yukimura messed his hair.
Fuji pinched him, "Ouch.. Ouch.. Syuu-kun!"
Don't you dare to tell him! Was all his eyes said.
"Okay, I won't. Happy? Let's go, then."
Tezuka stood in front of Fuji, "Aa.. It's nice to meet you, Fuji-san." He extended his hand just like before, asking Fuji to reply it. Fuji hesitated but shook his hand. He bowed politely.
"See you tomorrow, Syuu-kun!" Yukimura waved when he and Tezuka stepped out of his apartment.
A loud bam from his door was Fuji's answer.
###
"Is that all of your belongings?" Yukimura asked when Fuji approached Yukimura.
Fuji glanced at his backpack on his back, he shrugged. Their small vacation wouldn't be that long, he must go to work on Monday and if Yukimura didn't want to drive him home, there is a reason why people make a mass transportation.
He wrote down on his notepad and shoved into Yukimura's face.
Remember that I lost my voice.
Yukimura didn't reply, "Come on, Sanada parks his car on the parking lot near there."
They walked for five minutes and arrived at Sanada's car. He was standing near his car with Tezuka. They were chatting about something but stopped when they saw Fuji and his cousin.
"Gen-chan, sorry for waiting." Yukimura strode to Sanada.
"No problem. Is this your cousin? Fuji-kun, isn't it?"
Fuji nodded and bowed to the taller man. He was taller than Fuji remembered.
Sanada thought the same thing too, "Are you shrinking or something? You wasn't this small when last time I saw you."
Yukimura laughed, "He is, isn't he? He even lost his voice from eating too many weird things."
Fuji sighed, he wouldn't want to come along if he was used as a joking subject.
"Are you okay? So you want to go to the hospital, instead?" a deep voice woke him from his thoughts.
Fuji looked at Tezuka in the broad light and sighed inwardly. He was extremely, indefinitely, indeterminately, so handsome. His hazel-eyes were all things he looked up to. How could Sei-chan got two best men in the species?
Fuji wrote down something on his notepad.
I'm okay, I just have a sore throat. I have to save my voice for my job.
"Is that so? What are you?"
An officer of emergency hotline.
"I see. Which part did you work at?"
The emergency call.
They sat into the car while Fuji and Tezuka were chatting. Fuji was too absorbed into his conversation so he didn't even realize that they had been on the way to the onsen. He might enjoy it.
###
Fuji didn't understand.
He truly didn't.
They used Sanada's car to reach their destination, okay, he understood that it would be more effective and efficient. What he didn't understand was their sitting arrangement. His cousin was sitting on the front seat next to Sanada and left Fuji sat next to Tezuka. Sanada's car was an small car for four so it was impossible for Fuji to sat far from Tezuka.
Sei-chan and his egoism. Fuji tried to sleep but it was futile if your cousin talk to you all the time. Tezuka and Sanada also talked but only when they knew about the topics. Fuji got irritated because his cousin always asking him and pushed him to talk but Fuji didn't say anything, he just scribbling on his notepad to show it to his cousin or Tezuka sometimes.
Half way to the destination Fuji felt nauseous and his cousin's conversation didn't help at all. His condition didn't get better and get worse, instead. He stopped scribbling at all and tried to mask his uneasiness. Tezuka seemed realized his condition and ask him carefully, "Are you okay, Fuji?" Sei-chan asked Tezuka to call Fuji without a honorific because Fuji was still a little boy much to Fuji's chagrin.
He nodded and that added oil into the fire. His nauseous feeling rose into the highest level. "Genichirou, stop at the gas station there."
Fuji was helpless about it but he also happy that Tezuka still wanted to help him. Sanada put his car into the parking lot and turned around, "Is he okay?"
Yukimura walked out of his car and opened Fuji's door. He squatted next to Fuji and put back of his hand on Fuji's forehead and nape. "How do you feel? Did you eat something bad this morning?"
Fuji shook his head and looked around to find a place to throw up. The distance was too far for him to reach quickly. It was embarrassing but he didn't want to throw up in front of other people moreover Tezuka. He asked Yukimura to move aside and start to walk outside of the car but he didn't know whether he could reach the bathroom on time. He hoped he could.
Suddenly a pair of strong arms swept him off of his feet and brought him into the restroom quickly. He closed his eyes because afraid to fall down from the arms. He thought it was Sei-chan or Sanada but the smell was he so familiar with and missed so much, covered his nose. He somehow felt better.
"Can you stand?" the voice called him when they arrived in the restroom.
Fuji nodded and not long after his feet touched the floor. "Do you need something? I think it's better if you refresh yourself." Fuji knew what Tezuka meant but he would never threw up in front of Tezuka. No way.
Fuji nudged Tezuka out of the bathroom cubicle and closed the door. He squatted next to the bowl and emptied his stomach. He did two rounds of those. He could hear Yukimura and Sanada out there, together with Tezuka. He flushed three times and felt relieved. Finally.
Fuji was embarrassed. He never got attacked by motion sickness so far but he did this time. Was it related to his condition or his nervousness when he met Tezuka? He didn't know.
Yukimura knocked the door slowly, "Syuu-kun? Are you okay? I bring you some water and medicines. Can you hear me? Syuu-kun?"
Fuji tried to opened the door. He managed to do it after his third try. When he walked out of the room, Yukimura dabbed his mouth with a small handkerchief which smell a lot like Tezuka.
"Sei-chan, I'm okay." He tried to smile, his voice was a little hoarse and he was glad with it.
"The hell with it. Why don't you tell me that you are unwell? You, silly boy." Yukimura reprimanded him.
"I'm okay. I feel better, now."
Yukimura brought him out of the restroom and sat on the bench which was provided by the station. "Here, drink this. I bought it just now. What did you eat this morning?"
"I.. hadn't had anything yet."
"Right." Yukimura rolled his eyes, "Did you go to buy anything to eat yesterday?"
"Too tired. I woke up one hour before you came today."
Yukimura sighed, "I'll buy you something to eat, then we would continue our journey."
"Don't you think it's better if we cancel it?" Tezuka who sat next to Fuji asked. Fuji tensed by how close Tezuka was.
"It's okay. I'm fine now. We can go on after I take a breather. Don't worry." Fuji assured.
They continue going to the onsen as Fuji said. His cousin and Sanada didn't protest much as Tezuka did. Fuji found it sweet of Tezuka to do something so thoughtful for a stranger like him. Tezuka was always nice and proper. The fatigue affected him immediately after the car hit back to the road. He felt lightheaded and went to sleep, hoping that he would get better when they arrived.
###
Someone was shaking his shoulder, he didn't want to wake up and move from his comforter, "Syuu-kun.. Syuu-kun.."
It was Sei-chan's voice calling for him. The funny thing was Yukimura's voice came from his left side while he felt his comforter was on his right side so it wouldn't be Sei-chan, right?
"I can move him into the room. He looks so tired. Maybe this plan should be cancelled." Tezuka's voice was so near.
Tezuka! "No, I'm okay." Fuji raised from his position quickly. He was sleeping on Tezuka's shoulder, no wonder it felt comfortable and peaceful.
"Sorry, Sei-chan." He grimaced.
Yukimura looked at Tezuka and Fuji's position and shrugged. "Nevermind, it's not like you did it intentionally."
The onsen was beautiful and luxurious. It wasn't usual onsen which people could go everyday. They reserved two rooms and Fuji couldn't get more fascinated than before. The onsen was near a mountain surrounded by forest and nature, there was a small river near the mountain too, based on the travel notes. He wished he brought his camera so he could take pictures. Everything was beautiful, here. He was glad that he didn't turn down this invitation.
"It's really pretty here, right?" Sei-chan asked when he sat next to Fuji.
"Yes. It is." Fuji agreed with a low voice.
"I heard from the owner that we can see fireflies at night near the river, it is the best season to see it." Sanada said across the table.
"Let's go see it tonight! I want to see them!" Yukimura suggested.
"Sure." Sanada replied.
Yukimura, Sanada and Tezuka went to the onsen before the dinner, leaving Fuji alone in bedroom. His stomach was better now but he still felt a little weak. He promised himself to enjoyed the onsen after the dinner. Now he needed only to refill his energy.
###
"Thank you very much for the food!" Yukimura said happily. Sanada and Tezuka nodded in agreement and Fuji whispered his gratefulness.
"I don't think I can move after this!" Yukimura giggled.
Tezuka sighed, "You eat too much. You shouldn't let your guard down."
"I know. I know. It's my habit when I see many delicious foods."
"I wonder where all of the foods have gone." Tezuka said. Sanada laughed at Tezuka's attempt to joke.
Yukimura pouted, "Mou, that's very rude of you!"
Fuji smiled and drank his green tea, just as he thought he felt like a leftover of the group. He didn't understand almost all of the topics. All of them were about tennis, tennis and tennis. He never met tennis obsessed people like them. Fuji thought they would die if someday the tennis dissappeared from the world. Well, they had no similarity at all. Fortunately his food was great and the unfamiliar topics help him to keep his silence.
Fuji tugged Yukimura's sleeve who sat next to him, "I'll go to the onsen." He informed.
"Okay. Be careful, okay? Don't wanna to drag you out of the water." Yukimura poured sweet sake into his and Sanada's glass.
Fuji glared at him, That's rude, Sei-chan!
Tezuka scolded the blunett, "You shouldn't say that, Yukimura."
Fuji looked at Tezuka in a confusion. He felt something was off but couldn't put his finger on it. He left without hearing his cousin's answer.
The onsen was the best, Fuji sighed. He felt his fatigue left him for ever now. The outdoors onsen gave him a clear view of the sky. It was pretty, too. He scooted into the corner of the pool and put his arms on the stones, his head was propped on his arms. There were many things swirled in his head; about his job, about his fear, about his cousin and even about Tezuka.
Can someone tell me what to do? I definitely can't deceive Tezuka forever about my voice. I want to stay next to him but don't want to spill the bean. I can't imagine being far from Tezuka, too. It's so complicated.
Half an hour later he finished his bath, he would visit the onsen again early in the morning on the next day. He put on his yukata and drained his hair. He stretched and felt refreshed. He certainly should thank his cousin about it.
He went straight to his and Sei-chan's room because he remembered that they would go to see the fireflies. He would bring his phone to capture the moment, too.
He opened the bedroom's door and shocked by the view. His cousin and his best friend were kissing each other, hard and sloppily. His cousin's yukata had lowered on his arms and showed a wide span of his milky skin. The dark-skinned man put his hands anywhere he liked. They didn't realize about Fuji's presence.
Tezuka-san.
Where is Tezuka-san?
He isn't here, is he?
He shouldn't see this! He mustn't! Oh my god!
Fuji ran toward the men and pulled his cousin out of Sanada's arms. He didn't care if he hurt his cousin, he deserved it!
"Sei-chan! What are you doing?" He squatted next to his cousin and asked angrily, Yukimura put his yukata back to its place calmly. "Don't you have a relationship with Tezuka-san? Why were you kissing Sanada-san? Don't you know this can hurt him badly! Why can't you understand!" Fuji grabbed his yukata and burst into tears, "Why do you hurt him? Again? Why?"
Sanada tried to pry Fuji away from Yukimura, afraid that the brunette would wound the ex-captain. Yukimura shook his head slowly to show his disagreement.
"Didn't you promise me, Sei-chan? You promised me that you'll always be with Tezuka-san. Did you know how much he suffered? Do you know what he feared the most? Why can't you cherish him? Why are you doing these things? He believes in you. He loves you! Why? Why? I regret it, I regret for helping you that time. I wished I had told him then." Fuji sobbed and let his hand off of his cousin. He tried to talk to Yukimura and Sanada too, but the two men set their eyes behind him. Suddenly Fuji realized who that was.
He turned around and found Tezuka stood in front of the door with a phone in his hand. He looked so serious and unreadable.
Did he hear those? Fuji's tears stopped flowing. Oh my god! He just revealed all of their secrets. If there was someone to be blamed, it was him. It was his stupidity. After this he would be called as an idiot than a tensai.
"Tezuka.. san." Fuji stammered.
Tezuka strode to Fuji's direction confidently and Fuji scooted nearer to his cousin. He was afraid of Tezuka's wrath. He wouldn't be same again if by chance Tezuka shouted at him. He would be broken.
When Tezuka stood right in front of him and towering over him, he flinched and closed his eyes, "I'm sorry—"
Fuji felt a hand wrapped around his and Tezuka said to him softly, "Come with me."
He dragged Fuji out of his room and from Yukimura and Sanada's reach. Fuji looked back to his cousin and Sanada but they ignored him, Sanada kneeled beside Yukimura and inspected the man, afraid that Fuji hurt him. Yukimura looked at the man lovingly. Fuji knew nobody could help him now. He was alone.
Tezuka dragged Fuji through the hall and to the front door, Fuji almost didn't have time to wear his shoes properly. Tezuka didn't wait long and continued walking into the forest.
What is he doing? Where is he going to take me? Is he going to kill me?
He didn't see Tezuka's face but even if he could, he couldn't read his expression. He was one stoic man. But his hand was another case, it was calloused yet warm around his cold hand, just like Tezuka he knew.
They went further into the forest. Fuji couldn't see their way from and where they were going to. Everything looked same for him. "Tezuka-san.. Wait.. Tezuka.. Tezuka-san."
He remembered his incident in the small city in the winter and afraid that they got lost, nobody would search for them. Adding a very angry man in front of him didn't help at all.
Tezuka stopped his track suddenly and Fuji hit his face into Tezuka's back. "Oofh.."
Tezuka then brought Fuji below a large tree. Fuji put his hands on Tezuka's chest to put a distance between them, he didn't want to stay too close to Tezuka. He didn't know what he would do if they were too close. They breath fast, Fuji could smell Tezuka in every breath he took, he blushed and his hands were cold. Tezuka lifted up Fuji's chin hoping Fuji's gaze would meet his, Fuji cast his eyes behind Tezuka. He tried to move his head out of Tezuka's hand but Tezuka was smarter. He put another hand on Fuji's waist until Fuji couldn't move or breath without touching Tezuka.
"Look at me." Tezuka commanded with a harsh tone.
Fuji closed his eyes, too afraid to do the opposite. Tezuka repeated his order one more time, this time with a light squeeze on Fuji's waist. The impact was immediate, Fuji looked at Tezuka's eyes. He couldn't see the color since it was so dark but he could see that Tezuka'seyes were filled with determination, uncertainty and disbelief. Fuji felt his body trembled, he was afraid yet embarrassed by their closeness.
Tezuka breathed words that he was so familiar with, "Yuki.."
Is he going to kill me? Was the only thing which filled his head.
Okay, I did a little time skip because if I didn't will be so slow, right? I'm doing my muse dancing so I can get much better idea to write this. Lol.
Thanks for my loyal reviewers, I love your thoughtful reviews, I read them, every single time I feel down. You make my day. Thank you! Keep reading my story, please? Have a nice day!
