There is no telling really how one ends up becoming a part of another person’s life. Some say it could be fate, some say it’s sheer dumb luck. Others would rationalize it using the idea of reincarnation, souls connected from the beginning and irregardless of time and place, together, by fate or by luck.

 

Fuji wondered, reminiscing the years, how they started as schoolmates, then tennis club members, friends, and ending up to where they currently both are today. A smile would always appear when his thoughts mused about one messy haired man wearing a pair of rimless glasses,  he then sighed and a repressed giggle,  as he tried to hide his musing. After years of living together, he still couldn’t believe how he ended up totally enamored by a stoic man, between the two of them words needn’t be wasted for in silence their thoughts always connected, clearly with focused understanding for the other.

 

He reached his arms up over his head and stretched his legs as far as he could  towards the center table.  Cat-like he imagined himself, closing his eyes in full satisfaction of his current disposition, next to the one and only person he loves.

 

“Syuusuke,” Tezuka called, interrupting Fuji's silent pensiveness.

 

“Ha?” Fuji replied in surprise, glancing to his side where the messy haired man with rimless glasses sat quietly with a book on hand. He folded his arms and laced his fingers together, resting them on his nape.

 

“You’re doing it again.” Tezuka retorted, stoic as ever, not reprimanding, merely stating as he continued to read his book.

 

“Gomen, I didn’t mean to,” he answered smiling, slightly showing the glimmer in his cerulean eyes. He unlaced his fingers from behind, turned his body sideways and folded one leg on the sofa while the other dangled on the side. He locked his hands together, twirling his thumbs absent-mindedly .

 

He watched his lover, noticeably losing focus on the book he invested almost an hour reading, Fuji continued to ogle and finally Tezuka caught a glimpse of him, his breathing hitched momentarily. Fuji smiled, now blue eyes fully focused at the object of his affection.

 

“Never fails.” Tezuka closed his book, setting it down on the side table before he turned towards his ogling angel.

Hazel browns eyed back at the bright blues and then a smile before he reached to touch and made a connection. He cupped Fuji’s soft face then slowly traced the outline of his smiling lips.

 

“You take my breath away.” Tezuka declared softly before his lips locked with Fuji’s.

 

His kiss at most time was received by smiling lips, slowly, teasingly responding to his playful seduction.

 

“Ku-nnn…ni…mit...su,” Breathless in the end, Fuji surrenders to his lover’s sensual luring, “not… fair at …all.” He managed to assert in between Tezuka’s kisses.

 

Releasing Fuji from his hold, though not an easy undertaking now that his mind was focused on something more deliciously decadent but somehow he felt, he needed to verbalize his thoughts.

 

“Never was, proven by centuries of literature, Syuusuke.” Tezuka noted, giving Fuji a loving pinch on his nose, “You can overwhelm yourself with thoughts of how we ended up together, but there’s just one simple explanation to that.” He smiled, a rarity but he wouldn't deny his lover such warm expression, knowing that he has been showered with it without inhibition.

 

His momentary pause was taken with a slight tilt to the side by his lover, waiting for the explanation.

 

“You complete me,” Tezuka stated, a playful kiss planted on the tip of Fuji’s nose, “and I swept you off your feet.” Tezuka proudly declared and smirking deviously at his lover’s surprised reaction to his words.

 

Fuji leaned back on the sofa, leered teasingly at the stoic man while his index finger sensually traced his supple lips, “I guess I have to thank Yuuta for giving me a pet rock as my birthday gift when I was three.”

 

“…”   the stoic man stared, losing his smile.

 

“What?” Fuji asked with his melodious tone, “It aided in overcoming such stony façade," touching Tezuka's face, "Oh, and Robert Frost helped too?”  His cerulean eyes were now showing wickedness in thought.

 

“Frost?” Tezuka didn’t hide his curiosity. 

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
 I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."  Fuji quoted excerpts from one of his favorite Frost poems.

 

Tezuka remained quiet, once again  stomped by Fuji with his random banter.

 

“It made the difference because at the end of that road was you, Kunimitsu, and since then we trekked the path together and here we are.” Fuji reached for Tezuka’s hand where a silver filigree ring adorned his ring finger, similar to the one he was wearing. “It will be centuries before everyone could accept the path we chose, but I’ll do it all over again for you.”

 

If there was one person in this world who could break into his stoic resolve, the person was right in front of him. Tezuka could only affirm his statement with a tight embrace, there were no other words to say that could compare to Fuji’s locution, except

 

“The rock, what did you name it?” Tezuka inquired, Fuji gazed at his stoic lover, a slight blush painting his cheek, then a smile.

 

“Mitsu-kun.” Fuji stated. Tezuka tilted his head to his side, wondering.

 

“At three?” Tezuka asked.

 

Fuji smiled deviously, “You forget I am only five now.” 

 

Tezuka did the math and he smiled after realizing what Fuji was trying to say.

 

“I hope you kept the rock and remind me to thank Yuuta-kun for his wonderful gift the next time he joins us for dinner.” Tezuka noted.
