Piles of crumpled paper were thrown all over the bedroom floor. This was all Fuji’s failed attempt to shoot the discarded sheets in the trash can next to his bed. Fuji was frustrated and just sighed his disbelief. He looked at his desk clock to check the time. It was 11:45PM.

“That late?” Fuji noted to himself, surprised at the amount of time that already passed.

“Argh! I have been working on this essay since I came home from school.” Fuji stood up. He moved towards his bed and plopped himself down. Eyes closed, and all he could see was Tezuka.

Fuji never had problems with homework and essay writing were his most favorite subject. It did not seem to appear that way this evening. He went straight home from tennis to work on a couple of essays and take care of other reading assignments. Fuji was not one to be serious with school work. He never needed to be, but since Tezuka’s departure, he found the needed distraction in his studies. Fuji buried himself in school work and advance readings to make the evenings fly quickly. He occupied his late nights perusing books until sleep finally took over.

Tezuka’s offline message appeared on Fuji’s computer screen once he was online. The message was something he eventually knew would appear. To Fuji’s surprise this message, once again, left him unsettled with his thoughts.

“Tezuka you got me stumped this time!” he sighed.

He stared at his bedroom ceiling as he continues to hear the song in his mind. He smiled and could not hold the giggle and bubbly feeling in his heart. He sat up and headed back to his desk. He clicked on Tezuka’s offline IM and played the song once again. Fuji smiled.

He opened his desk drawer and took out the Seigaku team photo taken during their overnight trip to the mountains. Fuji reveled on his memories of that night. They talked all night while the other team members gave in to sleep. He recalled the one moment while they walked through a hidden path, moving away from the rest of the team. Tezuka held his hand and watched him with care. He waited for Tezuka to say something but instead, Tezuka held him close and tight as they shared their first hug.

Fuji touched Tezuka’s face. “I miss you too!”

Just then, an IM flagged popped up at the bottom of his computer screen. “Kunimitsu is online”

Fuji set the photo next to the computer screen. He clicked on Kunimitsu’s IM icon to open a message box and begun his online chat.

 

Syusuke: “Ne Tezuka watching a lot of MTV lately?

Kunimitsu: “Funny! More like waiting. For you! Took you this long to say hi online?

Syusuke: “ ^__^”

Syusuke: “Nice song. By the way!”

Syusuke: “I miss you too...just letting you know.”

Kunimitsu: “Glad to know, I am missed.”

Kunimitsu: “By you.”

Syusuke: “How can I not?”

Syusuke: “ Everywhere I go, I remember moments with you.”

Syusuke: “You left me with a hug, then a kiss and now, all I see before me are dreams of you.”
