Electronic Love

by: Ryu Reikai-Akuma

Warning: the usual things... Grammar... madness... stupid poems... bad
analogy (you'll understand later)... too many to mention...

A/N: Waaa.... my computer crashed!!! The old thing decided to break down just
when I had so much to write *grumble grumble*. But thankfully it's now alright
(kind of) and I can write the continuation of Electronic Love!!! So anyway some
people have asked but I forgot to answer *scratch head bashfully*. This story
will have a happy ending because I'm completely against evil sad ending. And the
story won't be too long. I've decided the ending and won't prolong this story.
Maybe there'll be more than ten chapters, but I won't make more than twenty.
Btw, I've been wondering... in my country, junior high school students go to
school even on Saturday. But is it the same in Japan? I once heard that in some
countries student's don't go to school on Saturdays. Please tell me if you know
because it'll probably change the course of this story... Now on to the fic...

Disclaimer: The silly poems are mine but the characters aren't.

Of Hopes and Hesitations

�Shusuke,
what�s wrong?� Yumiko asked as she handed a cup of hot cocoa to her brother.

�Nothing,
nee-chan.�

Fuji

replied with a smile that they both know was fake. �I was
just enjoying the rain.�

Yumiko
stared at her brother then turned to the pouring rain outside the window of

Fuji

�s room. �You know, people said that when it rains, it
means that someone, somewhere, is crying. With this downpour, I bet that
person�s really sad.�

Fuji

stared at the brown puddle in his cup silently. She knew, of
course. After all, his sister was the one who knew him best.

�But
you know, everything moves on. Time won�t stop at the moment we feel pain.
Tomorrow will be a sunny day.� She turned to her heartbroken brother. �It
won�t rain forever, Shusuke.�

�I
know. But I think this rain will stay for quite a while.�

Fuji

replied with a soft, sad smile.

�But
who says that we can only wait until it does stop. The human mind is so creative
it created the devices called umbrella and towel.� Yumiko said with a playful
smile. �And life goes on until the sunny day finally arrives.�

Fuji

smiled at his sister. He understood what Yumiko was trying
to say. His relationship with Tezuka maybe hopeless but he still had his
friends. He knew that just a phone call to Eiji would brighten his day. He knew
that Kawamura would gladly deliver his favorite wasabi even if it rained cat and
dog. Even calling Inui would give him enough amusement to help him live through
the day. And there were his cyber friends, those who would understand his pain
and broken heart, his confusion and uncertainty.

Fuji

was in good company.

�Thanks,
nee-chan.�

Fuji

said with a genuine smile as he handed the now-empty cup.

�Anytime.
If you need me, I�ll be in my room.� Yumiko said with a smile of her own.
She took the cup and then left the room.

So
what if he wouldn�t get Tezuka, eh? He still had his friends,

Fuji

thought as he turned on the computer. He had very good
friends and some admirers still. Quickly, he checked his incoming messages and
found the reply from Prince_Charming.

My note is definitely not a jest

For all words came straight from my
chest

Mockery, concerning this, is something my brain would not
call

Now permit me to learn how to make you
fall

Fuji

�s smile softened as he read the message, then he clicked
the �reply� button. Maybe he�ll give this person a chance. Who knows,
maybe he�d be his Prince Charming for real.

*

The
first thing Tezuka did after he finished homework was checking the net. He
ignored other incoming message from other people who wanted to know him and go
straight to checking

Fuji

�s reply.

The
tensai�s reply was a complete one-eighty from the first one. If

Fuji

had been suspicious and reluctant before, the prodigy had
now easily relented. Tezuka almost smiled as he read the poem

Fuji

made for him.

It's not easy to make me fall

But when it happens

I promise to give my all

Yet nothing comes for free, as many say

Therefore there'll be a small price to
pay

An oath shall be taken

That you shall only be mine

And I shall be your only one

He
didn�t know what had happened to

Fuji

that he changed his mind suddenly. Perhaps it was Tezuka�s
own reply that caused it. He was certain that the poem he made had sounded at
least slightly annoyed that

Fuji

dared to doubt him. Perhaps

Fuji

relented because he saw how determined he was about this.

Or,
Tezuka�s mind produced a scary possibility,

Fuji

had known that it was him and decided to play along. Tezuka
paused to think. Eiji was the first to know that

Fuji

had joined the site. And everyone knew that the acrobatic
player would know that Eiji was not good at keeping confidential news to
himself. And when Eiji broke the news, there�s a very big chance (Tezuka
didn�t feel like asking Inui of the exact percentage) that the first who heard
about it was his double partner and lover, Oishi. And if Oishi heard� Tezuka
naturally had heard, too.

Before
he was aware of his own action, Tezuka had dialed Inui�s number. The phone
rang thrice before Inui�s voice greeted him from the other side.

�Moshi
moshi, buchou.�

�Inui.�

�I�m
rather surprised that you call. There�s very little chance that you, of all
people, would call me. Is there anything wrong?�

Tezuka
surprised the urge to sigh out loud. His data player could be so infuriating at
times. �What is the chance of Fuji

knowing that it�s me?�

�So
early? Five percent. He might have suspicions. After all, knowing Eiji, things
will first get to Oishi, then to you.� Inui said, confirming Tezuka�s
concern. �But right now at least ninety eight percent of the girls and boys of
Seigaku who also joined the site had known this fact. Not to mention those who
weren�t its member previously. It could�ve been anyone. Also if you have
followed my instructions, then there is nothing to be worried about.�

�Are
you sure? Isn�t it rather suspicious that I suddenly found him among all the
members of the site?�

�It
is. But the chance that it is you is still very slim. After all, I think no one
would even consider that you would visit such site.�

Tezuka
didn�t know whether to be relieved or not. Inui said that there was still a
chance that

Fuji

knew it was him. Should he reply

Fuji

�s message and take the risk or not?

�Buchou?
May I ask what spurred the question?� Inui asked. Tezuka could envision the
data player ready to take notes. He decided that he wasn�t ready to give Inui
some data about his level of insecurity so he tried to keep his voice as clipped
as usual.

�

Fuji

suddenly changed his mind about this. He was reluctant at
first but now he agreed to� communicate with me.�

Inui
noted the pause, of course. �You didn�t ask him to go out with you straight
away, did you?�

Tezuka
pushed his glasses up to hide his embarrassment, though Inui couldn�t see it
anyway. Finally he cleared his throat to make it clear to Inui that he wasn�t
up to discuss this. But the data player seemed to ignore the hint.

�That�s
not like you to push, buchou.�

Tezuka
scowled lightly and made sure that Inui could really hear it this time in his
voice that he actually didn�t want to discuss this. �We don�t have much
time.�

�Of
course.� Inui agreed. Tezuka knew he as taking note of this even without
seeing Inui.

�That
would be all, Inui, thank you. Good night.�

�Good
night, buchou.� Inui replied absently, clearly still engrossed in his taking
notes.

Tezuka
frowned at his cell phone�s screen after he cut off the connection. This was
what he wanted, right?

Fuji

agreed to give him a chance. But why did he feel so unsure?

The
change in

Fuji

�s mind was too sudden. Tezuka knew that this wasn�t
uncommon to the tensai to suddenly change his mind when he found something more
interesting to do than his previous plan. But would he still be that way when it
came to the matter of the heart? It seemed unnatural. Tezuka felt that something
had happened.

And
then there�s that new possessive tone to

Fuji

�s poem. It reminded Tezuka of the �evil

Fuji

�, the one that appeared in the match with St. Rudolph.

Fuji

won�t let anyone hurt, or even touch those he liked. Yuuta
was an example of one of those people. Tezuka didn�t think that

Fuji

would be possessive of someone he didn�t know.

But
Tezuka couldn�t deny that he was happy about

Fuji

�s positive response. He as almost worried that the tensai
would reject him. He remembered the conversation he had with Echizen this
evening. The boy had asked why he bothered to hide his identity this way. After
clearing his throat, Tezuka had answered that he was afraid that

Fuji

would reject him. Because although there�s still a chance
that

Fuji

would reject him, it wouldn�t be as painful as having

Fuji

rejected him in the face.

Echizen
must�ve been shocked that Tezuka was willing to admit fear and pain that the
boy decided to pay for their tea and food. Though most probably, and Tezuka had
a very strong suspicion about it, that he was planning to make a bet with someone
about his current progress with

Fuji

.

But
back to the issue at hand, Tezuka didn�t know how to reply the poem. After a
very long moment of contemplation, Tezuka�s hands finally danced on the
keyboard hesitantly, than slowly with more confidence. Once he was done he
re-read it and changed a few words to his liking.

Challenge is how I view the note you
sent me

I conclude it won't be easy

Yet with the reward, it�s how I
expected it to be

But forgive my manner

If I ask if you were sure of what you
offer

Happy
but hesitant and confused. Exactly how he felt about

Fuji

�s note. Finally he gathered the courage to slick the
�send� button. As he turned off the computer, he wished that

Fuji

�s next response would be no less than positive.

A/N:
Three poems in one chapter!! Hope you like it. Inventing them gave me headache.
And the horrible analogy (I don't even want to re-write it here. Check the beginning
of the chapter if you still don't get it. It's Yumiko's dialogue)... And now to
the most important note in every chapter... Please REVIEW.... Give
me your REVIEW... Please spare some seconds to write a REVIEW...
*Clear throat* that would be all. Thank you.
