Warning: shounen-ai, grammar, stupidity.... And very crappy poem.
A/N: It was so difficult finishing this chapter. But here it is. I hope you
like it. There is a poem in this chapter and it's horrible. Believe me. I can't
think of anyway to fix it, though, so we're stuck with it for now. And I don't
know whether Yuuta come home every week or not, but
let's just say he does. It'll make my work easier. And I’ll probably change the
chocolate’s flavour later… I’ll tell you when (if) I change it. I can't think
of anything else to say so you can enjoy the fic
now....
Disclaimer: The only thing I own is the idea, the restaurant, the park and
the crappy poem. And I get no profit from inventing them

Where the hell did that Prince
Charming put his message? Fuji
had been searching the house since morning with the help from Yumiko for no
result. Fuji
sighed. He even searched inside the house, which was of course useless; unless
this Prince Charming were a spectral or magician, it
just couldn’t be. But where would Prince Charming put his message? Fuji was getting anxious.
“Maybe you overlooked someplace.”
Yumiko supplied.
“Nee-chan,
I’ve searched the house three times, with your help, no less. It’s neither
outside nor inside the house. There’s nothing.” Fuji answered exasperatedly. He stared at his
cell phone expectantly.
“Well at least that proves two
things.”
“What?” Fuji asked.
“One, his not a
stalker. He
respects your privacy. Two, he is real and not a ghost.”
Fuji was about to reply that comment
when his cell phone rang in his hand. On the screen was the picture of his
redheaded friend. Fuji
sighed softly in disappointment. He had hoped it was from Prince Charming.
“Moshi moshi, Eiji.” He said with a smile despite his
disappointment.
“Fuji, come to the park with me, nya!” The bouncy red head said excitedly from the other
line. “You know, the one we came to last month?”
“What’s the occasion?”
“Oishi
said there was a small cozy restaurant nearby. He wants to treat us, nya!”
“Eiji, I think
I shouldn’t disturb you and Oishi.” Fuji said with a chuckle.
“No! Oishi
told me to ask you to come, nya!”
Fuji blinked slowly. “Why?”
“Everyone will be there. Oishi said he wants us to have fun together before the
final exam and our graduation, nya!”
“Everyone?” Did this mean Tezuka
would be there, too? Fuji
wasn’t sure he wanted to meet Tezuka now. It might
bring conflict to his heart. He was trying to focus on the development of his
relationship with Prince Charming. Being with Tezuka
would distract him from that.
“Fuji.” Eiji said
seriously all of a sudden. “ I think you shouldn’t run
away from your problem. You can’t avoid Tezuka
forever. You must confront your biggest problem.”
Startled by the sudden change of
attitude, Fuji
could only blink slowly. He knew Eiji was right,
though. He must confront his problem, Tezuka. With a
smile, he answered Eiji. “Alright,
then.”
“Great! Meet me there at twelve, nya!” Eiji said before he hung
up.
Fuji stared at his cell phone for a
while and then turned to his sister who was smiling in amusement. “You don’t
have to tell me. I’ve heard.” Yumiko said when Fuji opened his mouth to explain, proving the
loudness of an excited Eiji. “Go. It’s good for you.
I’ll tell you if I find the message.”
Fuji smiled sincerely. “Thanks, nee-san.”
“Anything for my otouto.”
Then a voice hollered from the
second floor. “Aniki! What
have you done to my room?!”
*
The park Fuji and Eiji were
talking about was rather hidden in the location of office buildings and during Sundays
it was quiet there. Very few children frequented this place since it’s built
rather far from housing specifically for refreshments for the employees of the
offices nearby. Fuji
had found it during one of his Tezuka-musing times.
The park had been quiet and provided Fuji
the solitude he wanted then. Not long after the discovery, he took his best
friend there and it seemed like Eiji had told of this
place’s existence to his boyfriend.
Naturally Fuji was the first to arrive there since Eiji almost always came after him. He guessed living with
eight other people made it difficult to do anything quickly.
Fuji stood near the entrance to the park
so Eiji could easily see him. A few minutes later, Eiji came running to him. “Fujiko-chan!” The redhead called out, waving his hand. Eiji hugged his best friend once he arrived in front of
him. “Have I made you wait too long?”
“Not really. I was early.” Fuji replied with a
smile, referring to the fact that it was only two minutes past the appointed
time.
“Oishi
said he might be a little late because he have to do something first, nya.” Eiji pouted as he let Fuji go.
Fuji chuckled and pulled his best
friend’s hand. “Let’s wait for him over there.” He pointed to two small swings
near a camellia tree.
Eiji quickly agreed and soon they were
sitting side by side on the twin swings. The tree provided a nice shade and
made a nice view. Every now and then soft wind would ruffle the hair gently and
the sound of the rustling leaves would add the feeling of peace they got every time
they went to the park.
“It’s a nice park, nya!’ Eiji exclaimed softly, not
wanting to disrupt the comfortable silence engulfing them. The redhead swung
slightly as he enjoyed the wind caressing his face and hair.
Fuji nodded quietly, with a smile. He was
happily looking around the quiet place when something blue caught his
attention. It stood out among the natural colors of green and brown of the
trees and bushes. For a moment he thought it was a piece of junk someone threw
under the camellia tree. But when he looked at it carefully, he realized that
it wasn’t. Fuji’s
heart skipped a beat as he recognized the item.
Under the camellia tree beside the
swing Fuji
occupied, a blue heart-shaped box sat innocently and attached to it was an
envelope. It was Prince Charming’s promised note, Fuji realized. How did he
know Fuji was
going to come here? And Fuji
was quite sure it wasn’t there when he arrived. When did he put it there?
Briefly Fuji
remembered leaving the park for a while to buy candy on a nearby shop before Eiji arrived. Did Prince Charming put it there that time?
How come Fuji
didn’t see him?
“Fuji?” Eiji asked
after realizing that his best friend had been very quiet and still for the past
minute or so.
Ignoring Eiji,
Fuji stood up
and slowly approached the tree, still not quite believing what he thought he
saw. He stared in shock and disbelieve when the item he spot were indeed a
heart shaped box and a letter. His name was even printed neatly on the
envelope. It was a letter from Prince Charming, indeed.
“Fuji?” Eiji asked
behind him as Fuji
bent down to retrieve the letter and the box. The redhead gasped when he saw
it. “Fuji is
that…”
Fuji held his breath as he opened the
envelope. To his surprise the envelope didn’t contain a letter but a picture of
a beautiful house he recalled seeing in a magazine once. When he flipped the
picture he found a date there. What could this possibly mean?
“Is that from Prince Charming?” Eiji asked.
“I think so. I’ve seen this house
somewhere… and this date… Is that a date for the rendezvous he told me about?”
“Fuji, this is great! You could finally see
him!” Eiji cried, hugging Fuji from behind tightly.
Fuji laughed softly and opened the box.
Inside were delicious looking chocolate pieces. Then he noticed a small piece of
paper inside the top lid of the box. On the paper several words were printed
neatly.
Please reply the usual way, if you
may.
Fuji smiled brightly and pulled out his
cell phone to text his sister. But before he could type a letter, Oishi came to the park and called out to them.
“Eiji! Fuji!
Sorry to keep you waiting!”
Eiji waved back to his boyfriend. But
before he could say anything, Fuji
grabbed his hand and pulled him close to whisper something.
“Please don’t tell him about this, Eiji. I don’t want anyone to find out about this yet.”
Eiji nodded and ran to Oishi to jump him. Fuji
observed all this from under the tree with a smile. Quietly, he hid the box of
chocolate and the envelope in his jacket before approaching the couple.
“Oishi.” Fuji
greeted the vice-captain.
“Hi, Fuji. Sorry, but we must wait a bit for
the others. Inui, Kaido and Kawamura will be here
shortly. But Ryoma and Momoshiro
don’t know the place so Tezuka must take them here.”
Fuji felt a jab in his heart at the thought
of Tezuka and Ryoma
together but ignored it. He busied himself watching the couple in front of him.
He tried to focus on the feel of the box against his chest and converse with
his friends. Fuji
could only hope he didn’t fidget too much in his anxiety.
A few minutes later, they had all
gathered and soon headed to the restaurant. Fuji refused to look at his captain and
busied himself talking to and teasing his other teammates all the time. He also
kept glancing at his cell phone in case Prince Charming text him or something.
Tezuka, being a captain, had of course
kept his eyes on everyone. If not by habit then by other
ulterior motives. He knew that Fuji
avoided him and he noticed how the prodigy kept glancing at his cell phone.
Slightly intrigued and hopeful, he shifted in his seat -which was conveniently
located next to Fuji-
silently when the latter was busy with his cell phone again.
“Are you waiting for a call?” He
asked softly, not wanting to draw attention from his other teammates.
Fuji stiffened slightly but then turned
and smiled at Tezuka sweetly. “Not
exactly. Why?”
“You keep looking at your cell
phone. Or do you have something else you should attend to?”
Tezuka watched with his cryptic eyes as Fuji hummed thoughtfully.
“Not quite. Are you jealous that I’m probably waiting for a call from someone?”
Fuji teased.
Fuji didn’t know what made him say that,
but the light blush on Tezuka’s cheeks definitely
worth the regret for the slip of tongue. His smile faltered, however, when he
heard a chuckle from the other side of the table. Ryoma
was smirking at them mischievously and upon realizing this too, Tezuka suddenly backed away.
Fuji’s heart ached. He didn’t know why
he wasted his time here, hurting himself eith the
sight of Tezuka and Ryoma
together. It wasn’t his place to make any remark about jealousy to Tezuka in Ryoma’s presence. It
wasn’t his place at all…
Abruptly, Fuji stood up, drawing confused and startled
looks from his friends. “I’m sorry.” He said pleasantly. “But my sister
expected me soon. I’ve promised to accompany her shopping today.”
“But Fuji…” Eiji whined.
“You haven’t finished your food.” The redhead said, referring to Fuji’s only half eaten
meal.
“I’m sorry. I really must leave if
we don’t want to be caught in the traffic later.”
“Fuji…”
Fuji merely smiled to his best friend
and left the place after saying goodbye to everyone. Once he could no longer be
seen from the restaurant, he broke into a run. A run to escape the pain of his
heart…
*
“What do you think this means?” Fuji asked his sister. In
an attempt to forget the earlier event in the restaurant, he directed his
attention to Prince Charming’s note. Once he arrived
home he showed Yumiko the note and the gift from Prince Charming and asked her
opinion about them. Yumiko was only too happy to discuss her brother’s love
life.
“He must’ve wanted to meet you there
on that date. It’s a good place. I’ve read about it in a magazine. He must be
rich if he could afford to rent that house.”
“I thought as much.” Fuji agreed.
“But what about
the time?”
“I don’t know. He didn’t write
anything about it. I’m thinking about asking him about it. But about this
‘usual way’… you think he means Internet or cell phone?”
“I think it’s
Internet. You usually communicate this way, right?”
Fuji nodded and went to his computer
while Yumiko looked at him happily from his bed. She had been rather surprised
when Fuji came home earlier than expected but
her confusion was answered when Fuji
showed her the note from Prince Charming. She had started to take interest in
this Prince Charming, too. From what Fuji
told her this far, he seemed to be a decent man worthy of being her brother in
law.
Yumiko was glad her brother had
found a distraction from Tezuka. She knew Fuji was still hurting
from his unrequited love for his captain. Besides, it’s rather difficult to
forget someone when you meet that person almost daily. But Yumiko believed that
her brother would probably forget about Tezuka
eventually. This Prince Charming also helped the process and now she could only
hoped that Fuji
would come to really love Prince Charming and forget Tezuka
completely.
“It’s done!” Fuji exclaimed
Yumiko stopped her musing and went
to her brother to read the recently-made poem.
Clues
taken
And
despite my silence
I can't wait
for our rendezvous to happen
Now if
you would be mind
Please
do be kind
For this
stranger needs to be enlightened
At which
number should his time be signed?
“It’s quite nice. Now send it! We
want to hear from him as soon as possible, ne?”
With a nod and a happy smile, Fuji clicked the send
button.
^_^
A/N: Is this still not long enough? Well, I'll work harder next time, then.
I have plan for the next instalment and if I do it right, you're going to get a
very long chapter. Unfortunately it also meant more to edit while I still have
projects to do here. But I promise you all that I'll do my best and finish next
chapter ASAP. In the meantime you can rate and review this fic!!
^_^
PS: I've been wondering about Tezuka's nickname.
I've never known another anime character that goes by the name Kunimitsu, so I've no clue. Do you think it should be Katsu, Mitsu, Mit-chan
or what? Kunimitsu is such a long name, I think.
