Chapter 1 – Three Wishes

"I'm sorry, Sue-san," Tezuka apologized for he thought to be the fifth time, "But I have to reject you." He said, hoping that he had made himself clear.

Standing before the Seigaku tennis captain with arms crossed was the flamboyant figure of a girl – a girl with unnaturally fair hair dressed off her face in a ponytail. Her slender body was dressed in the familiar Seigaku school uniform, although the skirt seemed to be too short for her.

"Never mind then," She replied with a sweet smile as she purred, "I will make you accept me someday, Mitsu-kun." With that, she fluttered her eyes at the stony-looking Tezuka before sashaying away from the taller boy, towards the direction of her classroom that was located on the second level of the school building.

Tezuka sighed heavily as he rubbed his temples tiredly. It seemed that the Seigaku captain was now being courted by a determined female who refused to back down despite being rejecting her five times.

Walking up the stairs, a brown-haired boy was making his way towards his classroom when he spotted Tezuka Kunimitsu standing near the top of the stairs, looking frustrated. Curious to know what was troubling the all-rounded tennis player, the boy placed his hand on Tezuka's shoulder upon reaching the top of the stairs.

Tezuka felt a hand on his shoulder. Trying hard not to roll his eyes, he thought, 'Don't tell me that it is Sue again.' Immediately, he shrugged off the hand in an aggressive manner, hoping that Sue would take the hint this time.

"How many times must I say, Sue-san? I really don't -" Tezuka stopped in mid-sentence, frozen when he realized at what he had done.

In a moment of his folly and aggression, Tezuka had pushed Fuji Syusuke slightly too hard, causing the latter to fall back. Luckily, the shorter boy managed to grab hold of the stair railing before he could take a plunge down the stairs. However, he had lost his footing on a step and cried out in pain as a 'crack' was heard.

"Fuji!" Tezuka exclaimed, immediately bending down to check on his friend who looked in pain, "I'm so sorry!" He apologized, sweat began to form on his forehead.

Fuji shook his head as he forced a grin, "I have no idea that you are so aggressive, Tezuka." He chuckled before grimacing, "...I think I have sprained my ankle." He said wistfully.

"I'm so sorry, Fuji! I have no idea it was you who was behind me just now," Tezuka apologized again, feeling very bad in his heart that he had hurt his friend. Without further delay, he turned his back towards Fuji and placed the injured boy's hands around his neck.

"Let me bring you to the first aid room," Tezuka said. Without waiting for a reply, Tezuka piggybacked Fuji towards the destination, not caring about the strange looks other students sent to them since his mind was preoccupied with the injured boy.

Fuji felt a blush creep up his neck. Despite the injury, the tensai felt warm and comfortable at the close contact with Tezuka – his Tezuka. Unknowingly, he wrapped his arms closer around Tezuka's neck, as he leaned in closer to feel and smell the person who held his affection.

"Are you in pain? Don't worry, we are reaching," Tezuka huffed in a apologetic voice, as he quickened his pace.

"He will recover in a week's time, as long as he does not worsen his injury," the doctor declared after wrapping some bandages around the sprained ankle.

"Thank you, sensei," Tezuka said quietly, feeling relieved to hear that Fuji would recover soon.

Slowly walking out of the first aid room, Fuji teased, "Tezuka, you know...You could have just let me walk slowly to see sensei instead of piggyback me," he paused before giving a soft chuckle, "Tezuka," he paused again as a sudden idea suddenly popped into his mind, "Don't you think that you should do something to prove that you are feeling sorry for causing me to get hurt?"

Suddenly stopping in his tracks, Tezuka stared at the shorter boy incredulously.

"I...I am really sorry to hurt you, Fuji," he stuttered as he tried to gather his mind, "What would you want me to do?"

Fuji looked at Tezuka with every evidence of delight as he said, with laughter bubbling in his voice, "Grant me three wishes then."

Tezuka blinked. 'Three wishes?' He thought skeptically as he raised an eyebrow questioningly at the smiling tensai.

"I will not ask you to do anything against your morals, or make you feel embarrassed," Fuji continued. Sensing that the Seigaku captain seemed unwilling to agree, Fuji faked a hurt look as he whined, "Tezuka does not feel sorry for hurting me at all..."

"Alright," Tezuka sighed in defeat as he spoke in a gruff voice, "What are the wishes then?"

A delighted smile flashed across Fuji's face as his eyes twinkled, "The first wish is for you to walk me home and to school everyday till my ankle recovers, since..." Fuji continued, without giving Tezuka a chance to interrupt yet, "...since I need someone to help me carry my bag and meanwhile make sure that I don't worsen my injury."

After thinking for a few seconds, Tezuka nodded as he spoke, "Okay, considered that wish granted. How about the other two wishes then?" He asked, feeling curious at what the well-known sadist would request.

"Well," Fuji said as he shot a thoughtful look at Tezuka, "I will tell you when I know what wishes I want." He grinned.

Heaving a sigh, Tezuka took hold one of Fuji's hands into his own, as he said, "That should be fine with me. Let's go to class. We are running late."

With that, he led the surprised Fuji towards the destination, trying to ignore the feeling of butterflies in his stomach at the close contact with the tensai.
