Electronic Love

Warning: the usual thing... stupidity, rants, blah, blah, blah... Oh and "blah"
is text message.

A/N: First of all... Gomen nasai!!!*bows very deeply* I know I'm being
childish and all but things hadn't worked out very well to me at the new place.
I'm having a three (now two) weeks vacation to relieve the stress since it's
starting to affect my health too. And I'm very much of age, thank you very much.
It's just the stress that makes me more emotional than usual, like crying one
moment and went angry the next. Please bear with it for a while. Actually
during this vacation I only brought chapter 5 and 6 to send you all and left
the still unsatisfactory chapter seven. But as an apology I wrote chapter seven
so probably when my holiday has ended, I'll change this chapter. I'll let you
know then. Now on to the fic.

Disclaimer: Tezuka and Fuji
are still not mine... Damn!

Short Messages

Unbeknownst to Fuji,
Tezuka had decided to take a step farther. With an advice from Inui, Tezuka got
a new cell phone number and started to contact w:st="on">Fuji with it. He thought it's a faster way to
communicate with the tennis genius. Fuji
was telling his sister about the love letter when he got the first message.

"You know, Shuusuke, this Prince Charming started to sound like a
stalker to me. Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. Everyone at school does this... Except for several people... But
it's normal!"

"The love letter in the shoe locker is normal. But all this
e-mails..."

Yumiko was in the kitchen, cooking for dinner when her brother went home
with the widest smile she had ever witnessed and proceeded to tell her what
happened at school today. The red rose now sat in a small glass vase containing
water on the dining table with Fuji
staring lovingly at it. She had never seen w:st="on">Fuji so interested in plants other than cacti
before.

"I think he's just shy." Fuji
said, playing with the flower.

"Shyness can only go so far." Yumiko reminded her brother.

Before Fuji
could defend his beloved Prince Charming, though, his cell phone rang. He
frowned slightly when he saw the unfamiliar number but the frown quickly
disappeared as he read the short message.

"Good evening, nekoboy. Just wondering if you've got my note. Do
tell what you think of it."

It's from Prince Charming! Fuji
didn't know how he came to get his number and he didn't care. He looked up to
his sister to tell her this but it seems like the wide smile on his face had
told it all.

"Who's it from? Prince Charming?" At w:st="on">Fuji's nod, she sighed softly though with a
smile still. "See what I'm talking about? Stalker."

"It's going to be okay, nee-chan." w:st="on">Fuji assured his sister. "I'm going to
my room."

"Okay. Don't forget your rose!" She called out when w:st="on">Fuji almost left the
flower in his enthusiasm.

She smiled as she watched Fuji
skipped to his room upstairs. She had never seen w:st="on">Fuji so happy before, especially since
Tezuka. Fuji
had seemed so depressed before and Yumiko suspected his sudden decision to move
to St. Rudolph was caused by this depression. His smiles were false and Yumiko
knew that Fuji
was on the brink of desperation then. Desperate to forget Tezuka and desperate
to cling to that glimpse of remaining hope... But ever since this Prince
Charming guy appeared, Fuji
seemed happier. Yumiko admitted that this guy was truly charming and provided
the necessary distraction to Fuji.
He made Fuji
forget, even just for a while. But still, it's a good start...

However, Yumiko still couldn't help but feel worried about this. She knew
that some of Fuji's
admirers out there have impure thoughts about her brother. w:st="on">Fuji's feminine look didn't help things much
either. Granted, Fuji
wasn't entirely unarmed. He could defend himself against some perverts as he
had shown once in his first year in Seigaku. Yumiko shook her head pitifully
when she remembered the perverts. The poor boys should spend a few weeks in the
hospital after trying to corner Fuji
in an alley. Maybe she should just watch for a while and let w:st="on">Fuji handle this mysterious Prince if he
turned out to be a real pervert. And if he failed to do so? Well, a little
head-bashing from her and Yuuta should help.

A positively evil chuckle escaped Yumiko's pink lips.

Once he got into his room Fuji
put the rose next to his beloved cacti and then threw himself onto his bed with
a happy sigh. Happily, he started to punch on the keypad of his cell phone.

"I have gotten your note. The rose was a lovely touch. But when will
I get those hints?"

Unfortunately for Fuji,
the reply from Prince Charming didn't arrive until a few hours later. Since it
was Saturday there was no studying for him to do, there was nothing to distract
him. Fuji was
tossing and turning impatiently when the message finally arrived. w:st="on">Fuji was almost jumping
in happiness when his cell phone finally rang to signal the incoming message
from Prince Charming.

 “I’m glad you like the rose. And
the hints will arrive tomorrow in a place you might find unusual.”

A place he might find unusual? Fuji
made note to himself to search the house tomorrow. Right now he wanted to experiment
on something.

“I definitely can’t wait for those.
But tell me now, what do you think of communicating this way between us?”

The reply arrived shortly afterwards. “If
you don’t mind, I’m rather fond of the poems actually.”

Time for the real test, Fuji
thought as he punched the keypad. He’d find out whether his Prince Charming was
a pervert like what his sister said or not. w:st="on">Fuji surely prayed that he was as kind as he
seemed to be.

“Yes, don’t you agree that though
convenient, it isn’t as romantic or exciting as one of your poems?”

“You continue to surprise me, kitten.
I hope you don’t mind me calling you that. And yes I agree with you.”

Kitten. Now he started to sound a bit kinky. w:st="on">Fuji wasn’t sure whether that’s a good thing
or not. He wouldn’t deny having some fantasies of his own, mostly involving a
lot of leathers and not so innocent toys and other things that would make some
people cringe. But still, having someone he didn’t know calling him kitten made
him rather uneasy. Fuji
decided to test him further.

“I don’t really mind. I suppose some
would say the nickname suits me well.” Now let’s see how the Prince
Charming handle this.

“I’m glad you don’t mind. I was
worried you’d be affronted. I’d like to say more but I don’t want to keep you
up so late. Good night, kitten.”

Well, well, well… What do we have here? No seduction. No gross oyaji in
sight. It seemed like Fuji
had hit the jackpot and found himself a real Prince Charming. He seemed to
genuinely care and like Fuji.
Fuji smiled
sweetly as he typed his final message for the day.

“Good night, my Prince.”

A/N: I actually think this new version is better than the one I wrote
before. There are some problems though. One is that I forget whether I spelled w:st="on">Fuji’s name as Syuusuke
or Shuusuke. I think peeking from the previous chapter is cheating so remind
me, okay? And then there are the short messages. They’re awful! *cries* I tried
to make them more poetic but failed. They’re better than the original one that
I wrote, though. But I’ll probably change them some time in the future. Now no
more chapter kidnapping and threats but give me two weeks to get better okay?
Thanks for your understanding. R&R, minna-san!!! ^_^
