A/N: AU- Tezuka and Fuji are Tokyo University students and share an apartment together. A snapshot of their life together, sharing moments to make memories.


Memory: Switching places…maybe 





 

The ache burning from his shoulder radiated down his arm, all the way to the tips of his fingers. It rolled up his neck then down his spine. Tezuka’s eyes blurred as the nausea shot from his stomach up to his throat. He coughed when the acid taste reached his mouth, and the athlete couldn’t stop the wretched spill of puke. He didn’t expect his body to react so viciously from a simple ache emanating from his shoulder, but the pain shot so quickly and the effect rippled catatonic-like through his body. His temples pounded like gongs banged on each side of his head. 

Tezuka hadn’t experienced this much pain since his match with Atobe during middle school. It’s been over five years. Fear took control of the ever so careful Tezuka as he fell on his knees. Slowly, he adjusted his body and sat on the bathroom floor and leaned on the wall next to the toilet. Eyes closed. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead. He felt like the bathroom was spinning like he was in some roller coaster ride.

 Lucky enough, he was home but home alone. Fuji wasn’t due back for another hour and his cell phone was beyond his reach at this moment. Tezuka decided to remain still where he was until he managed to take control of his body. 

‘Mind over body. Mind over body. Mind over body.’

The athlete repeated the phrase like some form of hypnotic chant. It was more like some prayer. He thought. He fought this pain and won before, he won’t succumb to it now.

‘Mind over body. Mind over body. Mind over body.’

Tezuka continued repeating the phrase in his head until everything dulled, and he didn’t hear his mind chanting the words no more.

~0~0~0~

The soft dim light from the lamp next to the hospital bed was kind to his heavy lidded eyes. His sight blurry due to the absence of his glasses but he would always recognize the hazy form quietly resting at the side of the bed, holding on to his hand. Tezuka noticed the wires connecting him to the instrument measuring his pulse and blood pressure, as well as the IV tube connected on his right arm. His left shoulder held in place by a light gelled brace and a rigid wrap strapped his upper arm and elbow firmly. He gently adjusted his hand held by Fuji, turning so he could hold Fuji’s warm hand. The gentle grip of Fuji’s hand quickly awakened the sleeping man. His eyes now visible, and a smile radiated on Fuji’s lips.

“Kunimitsu,” Fuji pressed his hand firmly. 

Tezuka noticed the redness in Fuji’s eyes, and the worry painted dark rings underneath. Fuji’s smile failed to hide the nervous quiver of his lips when he tried to hold the tears wetting his fear laden eyes.

“I’m alright Syusuke.” Tezuka affirmed confidently but he knew it didn’t convince his boyfriend.

“You gave me quite a scare, seeing you unconscious and pale-faced in the bathroom." Fuji slowly muttered trying to maintain a calm voice without choking.  

“I couldn’t call you,” Tezuka explained, “I didn’t mean to…”

Fuji’s lips were on Tezuka’s, halting the athlete from his apology. Tezuka eyes openly meeting the set of blues already brightened by the pooling tears that slowly trickled down Fuji’s flustered cheeks.

“You need to slow down." Fuji scolded. The calmness in his voice disappeared when his throat tightened while holding back his sobs, “Tennis is important to you, but if you overdo it again like you did five years ago, you will end up …”

This time, Tezuka’s lips stopped Fuji from his fearful foreshadowing. Both intensely focused on each other.  

“I am not going to be that careless, Syusuke,” Tezuka stated firmly. “I promise.”

Tezuka watched his boyfriend close his eyes and sigh. Fuji sat at the edge of the bed and gently raked his hand through Tezuka's comb-starved hair. Tezuka reached to caress Fuji’s face, brushing aside the soft tresses draping his eyes, and tenderly wiped the wetness away from his cheeks.

Tezuka didn’t have the heart to tell Fuji it was their last sexual escapade that caused his shoulder’s swelling pain. Even though Fuji wasn’t heavy, his full weight was on his arms while he held his lover's legs, and balanced him as he thrust into his body. They had sex, with him in a standing position. Vigorously thrusting into Fuji's rear and Fuji slamming down on him with equal force until they reached their limit, pushed his tennis abused shoulder beyond the stressful pull it could handle.

Suddenly, the blue eyes widened like Fuji read his mind.  

“No, it had nothing to do with you." Tezuka interjected.

“But it probably made it worse for you." Fuji carefully laid his head on Tezuka’s chest, “I’m sorry. I should have thought of …”

“Shhhh,” Tezuka whispered as his fingers played with the silky strands of Fuji’s hair, “I wasn’t complaining. Best sex I’ve had and on my birthday. Just to let you know, that won’t be the last time Syusuke.” Tezuka kissed Fuji’s forehead. “I will need to take some precautions next time we do it."

"Maybe, I  should register you for one of those gadget." Fuji gazed up at him,  resting his chin on Tezuka’s chest.

“Gadget?” Tezuka queried, quite bemused.

“Yeah, remember the infomercial, “Help, I’ve fallen! I can’t get up!” Fuji blurted mimicking the elderly’s voice from the TV ad.

“I was thinking more in the lines of strengthening my upper body." Tezuka replied flatly and seriously glaring at his lover. “Maybe, we’ll just stop being adventurous with sex and do it the easy way,” Tezuka continued, leaning closer to whisper in Fuji’s ears, “doggy-style.”

“Maybe, we should just not do it at all." Fuji glinted at him. Smiling deviously he continued, “Or maybe, we should consider switching positions.”

Tezuka stared at his lover, “That’s vicious coming from you.”

“Hmmm? We’ve done it before,” Fuji purred, “Me pounding in you, you panting and groaning, oh and begging…”

Tezuka kissed Fuji so hard, his tongue teasing his lover until he surrendered to him moaning. “You were saying?”

“It was just a suggestion,” Fuji glassy blues beamed at him.

“Maybe,” Tezuka uttered before kissing his lover deeply once more.

Tooo hooootttttt!

I love the interaction between the two of them, it's so sweet! The love and concern they have for each other is just perfect ♥♥♥

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
just like how a perfect pair should be... I feel guilty for always exploring their sexual debauchery...gomen for that practicing in prep for NaNo, and my Fuji-chibi muse simply wants to play with his Tezuka-kun...when Fuji-chibi gets that whimpsy, he tends to tow the hot-line!

Thank you for reading.

[identity profile] bluewings-lagoo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
-nods- Haha, I am not sorry about that; if you wrote more of it I would be a very happy, drooling fangirl xD

Haha, Fuji-chibi is naughty and can't resist the sexiness that is Tezuka-kun~~♥ I haven't even done any preparation for NaNo!xD;; My muse has gone all quiet and I can't think up the setting and characters ><

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG...the ideas tossed in my mind of the different positions Fuji wanted to explore...

I have a plot outline and characters for my original story for NaNo but I might be going way over my head with it, exploring a setting I am not very familiar. I did some research all night and I am not confident about pulling it together, but I have one more week to read about my setting and learn more...so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

think of a simple setting and plot you can be comfortable with. If you can't think of original characters write fanfiction. good luck!

[identity profile] bluewings-lagoo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
-coughes- =DDD

I won't be going with a original story; it would be my first shot at writing length prose for TeFu :3 My idea would be to write a medieval time period AU piece and while I have read a number of novels with plots based in this eras, I am still pretty unsure of how to go about creating the noble families, places and conflicts between the various factions ^^;

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahhhh...medieval AU could be very tricky, really need to know a time period or at least have a good reference to it. I am not very good with historical AUs, unless it relates to anything Shakespearean - that I might be able to do, but still with a lot of research on the setting. Renaissance period is my favourite of all historical periods. In the Asian setting, probably anything World War 2 era since I did a lot of reference research on that time period while in school.

I hope you will be able to work out the setting and characters for your NaNo story...I would love to read a historical Tezfu novel. Ganbare!

[identity profile] bluewings-lagoo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly, I can just see all the possible ways the story could go wrong; be it plot holes, insufficient development, cliche plots, poor descriptions of settings etc... ><; I think I might be borrowing on whatever references I can think up of/research up so I wouldn't be surprised if some Shakespearean stuff pops up somewhere in there too xD;; I think my setting is more European-centerd with all the castles and noble families with their knights etc :'D

You do realise that if I can even make the 50k wordcount, the story would need heavy editing for me to even dare post it up? That in itself would probably take some time too ^^;

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well NaNo month is all about just writing...concentrate on the writing and get the story done. I guess December you start the editing...if you need help with editing, I will be more than happy to help you out with it after NaNo...

I am not in a hurry to get mine edited, I have the entire winter to work on my piece.

[identity profile] bluewings-lagoo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose so OwO;; I probably would take more than just December to clean it up cause I plan on making use of the break to catch up on my epic fail studies ^^; If you could help me I would be really grateful!:>

Haha, the main point of NaNo is afterall, to get the main story down, ne? We can worry about the quality later once we have succesfully made it to the finishing line ^^

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it's a whole month of free-writing....challenging the creative mind and enjoying it...that's actually what my instructor suggested...take the time to free-write on a daily basis without worrying about grammar and stuff...this would allow you to keep the creative juices going.

Just send me a message whenever you need editing or other beta work...more than happy to help out.

[identity profile] bluewings-lagoo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a good idea :3 I can only hope I don't end up writing too much broken sentences and make horrible grammar mistakes; it would make the story kind of hard to flow cause they are an major eyesore to me when not properly phrased xD;;

Thanks for the offer; I will definitely take you up on it when I get working on the editing of the fic! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!:3

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
After NaNo, you could go back and do some re-writes if you want.

I plan to do the same before I send my work to show my writing buddy, since we try to limit grammar editing so we could concentrate on critique discussion of the story. Self-editing also helps improve your grammar. But I have no problems doing beta work concentrating on grammar edits...I like doing that kind of stuff.

[identity profile] bluewings-lagoo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely; I wouldn't be able to bear it otherwise xD;;

I would probably try to clear up all the grammar mistakes first before sending the piece to you since that would allow you to focus more on the important aspects; clearing such stuff up is the bare minimum I ought to do and am capable of anyway ^^ Me too!:D

[identity profile] mitsu-syusuke.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
arhhh.. something so angsty become extremely sweet in the end...
Can't help but falling in love with this couple again.. *dreamy sigh*

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Just can't get enough of these two men...they are such a wonderful pair to write, read or dream about. That and seeing my plushies so snuggled in bed makes me think of just what the two had been up too all day when I'm not around!

Arigatou for reading Ivy-chan!

Omg, I shouldn't have read this right before going to a volley match! I won't be able to concentrate at all!!!!

The beginning kinda scared me. Ever since I almost passed out in the metro I'm so scared of passing out >_< The way you described it was exactly how it feels and it's scary.

But the ending was soooo great! I loved it XD Fuji can tease again!

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Gomen Ann-chan! I didn't mean to cause you such trouble!
I didn't mean to make Tezuka suffer but sometimes he could be reckless when it comes to trying things with Fuji...but I guess now they both know the limits for the time being, until Tezuka becomes stronger.

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the read.

[identity profile] tacuma811.livejournal.com 2010-10-24 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine, I just was a little shocked.
They know their limits an they also know their love has no limits ^_^

[identity profile] paranoid-fridge.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe, so sweet.

The first scene with Tezuka being sick, and ending up in the hospital honestly had me worried... but luckily enough Fuji was there to make it all better. ^^ The scene where Fuji sat by his bedside was really cute.

And as for the cause of the pain in Tezuka's shoulder, I guess they'll just need to find another position. And I fully trust Fuji to be creative in that respect. ^^

Thank you for sharing!

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I love that moment between the two as well... a sqweee moment...gomen if I made you worry about Tezuka, he will recover from his injury! He will not let anything prevent him from enjoying his moments with Fuji...he will work to make himself stronger. Fuji of course will have the ideas on how they both can enjoy each other!

Thank you for reading Mona-chan!

[identity profile] shutterbug-psi.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm soooooooooooooooooooo lovin this one, junn-chan

Their interaction was soo beautiful...although i got scared in the beginning but the ending fully made up for the initial scare and the reason behind the aching shoulders just blew me away..soo funny.

Nice piece, junn-chan. I can have something else to think about aside from my RL

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Toni-chan I am so glad you enjoyed this piece. Thank you for reading. Lols, sometimes injuries do happen ... hehehe, especially since Tezuka already messed up his shoulders playing tennis.

I hope RL is not too much of a pressure of late. Take care always.

[identity profile] aoi-aka.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Pfffft, only Fuji could suggest that kind of gadget for Tezuka. Thank you for sharing. Their relationship is always so hot, specially what they do in the bedroom.

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuji sure knows how to lighten up the mood for Tezuka. Thank you for reading. Yes I agree 100%...their bedroom activities are quite hot! Lols!

[identity profile] petapepy.livejournal.com 2010-10-16 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
With all the angst TxF I've recently read, even though this one started off rather sombre, the ending was *love*.

I wonder how they would explain how Tezuka ended up in hospital to their family and friends, lol.

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
THank you for reading! Gomen... for the angst... I try not to linger too much in such a mood when it comes to my Tesfu TU arc drabbles, I do dabble with it once in awhile but lighten in up in the end.

Lucky for Tezuka, he did injure his shoulder due to playing tennis...we'll let him use that excuse and keep the real reason among us fangirls! lols.

[identity profile] anyajulia.livejournal.com 2010-10-18 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
aiissssshhh.... aaaw... sweet with a tinge of hotness... waaaaah..

keep the tefu coming... i miss it so much...

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for reading! Glad you likeys....

I shall try to come up with different situations for the two...

[identity profile] waraningyo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Nooo...I don't want to imagine Tezuka being molested by Fuji! ahahhaa...

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Waaaahhhh....but...but...but...it happens, you know that!

[identity profile] waraningyo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
try not to let it happen! LOL!

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear...not sure if I can promise anything...at the rate my Fuji-chibi muse is currently coming up with ideas on how to drive Tezuka crazy...he just might one day drive into Tezuka as well....lols. .... oops....didn't mean to suggest such imagery again ...lols

[identity profile] waraningyo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
haha, its awright...I'll just stay away then...

[identity profile] lovefujitez.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I will make sure to post a warning, if it does happen so I do not surprise you!

[identity profile] waraningyo.livejournal.com 2010-10-23 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, thanks for the heads up ;3

[identity profile] chibikaoruchan.livejournal.com 2010-12-10 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely love this piece. The way you portray them to be and the way Fuji realized that Tezuka's injury was partly his fault... It was so perfect and so very like how I see them to be. Also love how you make it clear they had tried different ways in going about making love. It's just like them to tolerate the other and switch places from time to time. Though I absolutely love a dominant Tezuka it's good to know he loves Fuji enough to let him take the lead sometime.

Wonderful as always!
