****O.O****

Continuing…

****O.O****

Tezuka's eyes widened slowly as he realized what just happened. He immediately whipped his head around to see Fuji lying 3 meters away. There was a pool of blood on right side of Fuji's chest. Tezuka got there first. Fuji's eyes were fluttering as his consciousness was slipping in and out.

"Fuji-san." Tezuka breathed out lightly. His voice was quivering. He wanted to touch Fuji, but he was afraid of hurting Fuji more. Finally, he got his voice back. "Get the paramedic!" He screamed.

Fuji's head lolled and their eyes met. Tezuka wanted to cry when he saw tears running from Fuji's blue eyes. They were sad. He couldn't hear anything when more people rushed to Fuji's side. He didn't pay attention to them. All he cared at the moment was holding on tight to Fuji's hand, hoping Fuji wouldn't let go either.

The red light to the surgical ward was still on, no matter how many times Tezuka looked up at it. His eyes were red and dry now. The tears had drained.

A warm hand landed on his shoulder. "Kunimitsu." He turned around.

"Grandpa."

"…" Asakura studied his grandson. Ever since the boy was born, he had never seen Tezuka let out so much emotion. It surprised and scared him at the same time. He was scared that Fuji's mishap would deeply affect Tezuka so much that there was no rectification. "You should go home. I'll be here until Fuji comes out."

Tezuka shook his head and pushed his grandpa's hand off his shoulder. He took a step back. "I have to stay here. What if something happens to him when I'm not here?"

Asakura's forehead creased. "Nothing bad is going to happen to him. I promise."

Tezuka bit his lips. He hoped he could rely on that promise to be stronger. "I didn't want to take it, but he kept insisting…"

Asakura understood. If Fuji had worn his bulletproof vest, then he wouldn't be in the hospital. But simultaneously, if Fuji had the vest on and didn't get to Tezuka on time, Tezuka would have taken heavy casualty. He shook his head and assured his grandson. "It wasn't your fault. Fuji knew what was best given the situation, and he did the right thing. Even though he is not awake right now, I'm sure he wouldn't want you to blame yourself."

Tezuka felt like crying again, but there were no more tears left. He rubbed his eyes in weariness.

Asakura stepped closer and patted Tezuka's shoulder. He pulled his grandson into a hug. "Listen to me and go home. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything." He hauled his grandson out.

****O.O****

As time passed, Asakura began to feel the numbness of sitting and standing in waiting. Fuji's fellow team members had come and gone, but he dismissed them all a minute ago. It had been so quiet that a simple sound of heavy doors opening took him by surprise. He turned toward the door to see a doctor coming out.

The expression on the doctor's face was a relief to Asakura's concern.

When Fuji woke up, he was in the recovery room. The bright light made his head hurt. He moved his right arm up to cover his eyes when he felt immense pain, eliciting a groan from him. A flood of memory came back to him and he felt his other hand being held tightly. He turned his head and opened his eyes slowly.

Asakura came into view. "Asakura-san." Fuji breathed out, almost too labored. His voice was barely audible.

Asakura gave him a soft smile. "You're okay."

Fuji smiled weakly. "I'm still alive?" He asked rhetorically.

Asakura patted his hand. There was a pause as he contemplated whether or not to let Fuji know about Tezuka. "Kunimitsu has been waiting for you."

Fuji's eyes widened slightly in surprise when he heard the name. Was Tezuka okay? It didn't escape Asakura's tentative eyes. "Where's he?"

"Home. I still haven't let him know that you came out."

They fell into silence. The feeling that Fuji was experiencing couldn't be described. He was glad that he was able to save Tezuka on time, but there was something that his boss wasn't telling him.

A moment later, Fuji's gaze fell on Asakura once again. "Why not?"

Asakura held his gaze firm on Fuji. "Because he's in love with you."

Fuji's mouth went dry. He didn't know how to response or react. Why would Asakura tell him that. Obviously, his boss didn't like the idea of his grandson falling in love with a male agent. In the end, he decided to evade it. "It isn't possible. We've only known each other for less than a week." Truth to be told, Fuji wasn't sure if he felt the same about Tezuka.

Asakura nodded. He understood something. "You don't love him back."

Fuji's eyes widened. It sounded almost like an accusation. "…I…I don't know." He held his head down, feeling guilt surging through his body out of sudden.

Asakura looked at the young agent in front of him. The boy was barely into adulthood when he joined the quad. He had watched Fuji like a father watching over his son. He knew Fuji enough to know that Fuji had never loved someone before. The boy was confused, and it wasn't his fault. He gently placed a hand over Fuji's shoulder. "I understand. You don't need to say anything."

"What would you like me to do?" Asakura asked.

Fuji looked down. "…I want to take a vacation."

Asakura raised an eyebrow in slight confusion. He would have given Fuji time off to recuperate even if Fuji didn't ask. He meant to ask Fuji what to do about Tezuka. "How long?"

Fuji swallowed dry. "A year."

Asakura was taken back, but he didn't show it. "What about my grandson?"

Fuji closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

****O.O****

"I'm sorry."

Tezuka couldn't tell whether or not his grandpa was telling the truth. His mouth suddenly went dry, and he couldn't speak. He didn't want to believe it. He wanted to scream at his grandpa for lying to him. He shook his head in denial as tears fell, and he ran away.

"Kunimitsu!"

Ayana held her son as he drifted off into sleep. She cried for his lost. As his mother, she understood what was going on. Her son had found his first love, but they couldn't be together.

Tezuka Kuniharu remembered the first time he found out that he was in love with Ayana. The feeling was bliss and fresh. He could sympathized with what his son was feeling. If he lost Ayana, he would probably be the same as his son. He knew his son was in love.

If Fuji was still alive and Tezuka came out and confessed, Kuniharu would've prevented his son from seeing and loving Fuji. Seeing his son like this, he would prefer having Tezuka and Fuji together.

Kunikazu refused to acknowledge that his precious grandson was in love with a man. So, he turned down the thought of seeing Tezuka, else he would have changed his mind like Kuniharu did. In the end, he loved his grandson too much to deny the boy anything.

****O.O****

Fuji knew Tezuka was sad. Watching Tezuka for the first few days after leaving the hospital was difficult for him, but he knew it was best for them both. The main reason Fuji didn't want to admit was that he didn't love Tezuka the way Tezuka loved him. Fuji liked Tezuka more than anyone could know, but love? He wasn't sure.

Tezuka was getting better day by day. Fuji spied on Tezuka every night until Tezuka was no longer in despair. That was when Fuji decided to leave.

No one on Fuji's team ever said anything, although they all knew Fuji was alive and getting better.

The day Fuji left for his hometown was the day that Tezuka vowed he would never love anyone else like he loved Fuji. His eyes became colder and his emotions were kept to himself. He had shut the door to his heart.

****O.O****

The breeze of the ocean from Chiba was a memory-maker. When he was little, his family used to come to the beach every weekend for a swim. It was a highlight of Chiba. Everyone swam.

"Syusuke." A female voice called him back from his trance. He pulled his face away from the window and turned to his sister.

"Yeah?"

Yumiko smiled, not the mischievous one. She missed her brother too much to tease or pull a prank on him. But after all, Fuji was too smart for prank. She wondered if her new ones would work on him. "What makes you decide to take a year off from your job?"

His smile didn't reach his eyes as he looked away, back to the moving scenery outside the window. They just passed the park. "Many reasons."

Yumiko's eyes were perceptive. Her brother's smile was sad, but why? "Mind telling me?"

Fuji looked back at her. He wondered why his parents didn't come to pick him up from the airport but let Yumiko came in their stead. He shrugged nonchalantly. "I got shot, so I need recovery time."

Yumiko chortled. "Wow, and that is not obvious enough."

Fuji chuckled. "I missed you guys. Can't an agent take a year off to spend time with his family?"

Yumiko smiled at that. She missed him too, more than he could ever know. "I see that shot brought out some senses into you. We haven't seen you for more than a year."

"But you know, that day, mom broke a plate and my right eye was twitching like crazy."

Fuji stayed silent.

Yumiko let out a long sigh. "We called Yuuta up, but he didn't pick up his phone. So, we called the school." Yumiko chuckled softly without merry. "Turned out, he was taking an English test. Mom and I were so glad. If one of us gets into trouble, Yuuta is the most likely candidate."

"Then there was dad. Unfortunately, he was oversea that day. Mom went crazy when she couldn't reach him. But I told her, maybe he was in the middle of the meeting. That was why he couldn't pick up the phone. So, we waited and mom tried calling back every 5 minutes. He picked up after the 5th call. He was okay. Then,"

Fuji could empathized his mom's and sister's predicament then. He would have freaked out too.

"We thought of you. Mom could think of all things possible when it comes to you. I called you, but the call didn't reach, so we called your boss and friends. None of the calls went in, and that was when we figured out that something bad happened to you. We were preparing to fly in when we received a call from your boss saying that you just got out of the surgical ward and that you were alive." There was a tear sliding down Yumiko's cheek.

"Nee-san." Fuji whispered. He hated himself for making his family worried about him when he was the one who always told his family to be careful. He tilted over and hugged his sister.

"I'm okay." Yumiko choked out in a small voice as she embraced her brother. "You're back, and you're okay now."

When they reached home, the rest of his family was there in front of their house welcoming him with big smiles. He was truly happy.

His mom cried as she hugged him, so tightly that the wound hurt, but he didn't tell her. Being in a mother's embrace was really comforting and healing. Even Yuuta, who was always hard headed, turned into a mess of emotions ran wild. They were just happy that Fuji came back alive.

After lunch, Fuji went out for a stroll on the beach with his brother. They talked about their life, catching up what they missed. The beach was peaceful and warm, only because Chiba residence was taking afternoon rest.

As he looked more at Yuuta, his brother had grown into a man, taller and more muscular.

"Saeki missed you a lot. He always asked if you'd called every time he saw me." Yuuta chuckled.

Fuji was surprised. Saeki and he were best friends until he left to go to the big city. At first, contacts were frequent. But after Fuji made it as an agent, things got busy and the frequent contacts became seldom. When Fuji came back to visit the year before, Saeki confessed his love for Fuji. At that time, Fuji didn't take it seriously. Subsequently, he forgot all about it until now. "How is he doing?"

Yuuta shrugged, kicking a shell from the sand floor they were walking on. "All right. Still single if that's what you wanted to ask."

Fuji hit his brother hard on the arm.

Yuuta fumed at him. "What was that for?"

Fuji smiled cheekily. "That was love, baby brother." He said before sprinted away toward the rows of palm trees.

Yuuta ran after Fuji, but he almost bumped into his brother when the older stopped abruptly.

"Syusuke."

Fuji's eyes glittered as he took in the sight of the person before him. "Kojirou!"

Yuuta knew Saeki would want time alone with his brother, so he left quietly.

The best friends took a walk along the forest path, catching up on their exciting life adventures.

"So, you'll be staying for a year?" They now sat on the big rocks under the tree foliage.

Fuji nodded. "I've decided be a normal civilian."

Saeki smiled softly at him. "I'd be nice if you stay forever."

Fuji smiled widely. "It'd be, but I can't." He leapt off the rock. "My boss needs me, and my team needs me. Come on, let's get something to drink. I'm thirsty."

Day merged into night, and then night merged into day. The cycle repeated as days passed onto months.

At daytime, he would help out Saeki's grandma ran a noodle shop when he was free. Other times, he stuck with his family doing things around the house, especially helping his mom managing the big garden at the back of the house. Life was peaceful, no more chasing and killing, like how he imagined it when he turned old.

It had been 7 months. Sitting under the stars, he realized many beauties of being in the countryside. The sky was constantly clear and dark at night, so star gazing was among many of the activities that people love.

Fuji turned his head when a person sat down beside him on the sand hill by the beach. "Hey."

Saeki smiled. "Hey, how long have you been out here?"

Fuji smiled back. He crossed his hands behind his head and lie down on the sand. "5 minutes ago. How was business?"

Saeki shrugged and then joined Fuji lying on the sand. "Just enough. Clients in clients out, nothing much interesting."

"Do you miss your job?"

Fuji nodded and gave a small smile. "Not only that, I miss the people I work with. They're the ones who keep me competent and sane once in awhile when I'm overly stressed."

"Ah~How envious." Saeki smiled softly. He wanted to be the one to make Fuji feel better when the latter is stressed too.

Fuji turned his head and looked at Saeki. "Don't be. I'm sure you have friends like that too."

Saeki snorted jokingly. "Mine's different Syusuke. Business is all about competition. We compete for clients and lie for benefits. There's no such thing as taking someone else's back."

Fuji shrugged and looked back up into the sky. "Yeah well, every situation is different. I deal with life and death most of the time, so people in my field of work value each other's life a lot. For you, it's all about finance. But still, the friends you have are the ones who give you moral support when you're down."

"Like you?"

"…" Fuji blinked. There was something different in that tone, like Saeki had a different meaning. But, he didn't want to probe. "Sure."

Saeki closed his eyes.

"Time fly doesn't it?" Fuji asked, although rhetorical. "5 more months and I'm back on duty."

Saeki grunted. He didn't say anything when the silence was stretched. But in his head, he was thinking if he should confessed to Fuji again. Making a decision, he sat up. "Ne Syusuke."

"Mhm?" Fuji didn't notice how Saeki had tensed up. His eyes were strayed up at the sky.

"Is there anyone that you like?"

"…" Fuji blinked before turning his eyes onto his friend. Confusion was written on his face. "What?"

Saeki twisted his body so he could look at Fuji. "I confessed to you that one time, and you never gave me an answer."

Fuji's eyes widened slightly as he tore his gaze away from Saeki. It felt so different now, the confession. It was awkward this time.

"I love you. I really do." Saeki pressed on. He leaned a bit closer to Fuji.

"…Kojirou, you…" Fuji began hesitantly, not knowing what to say. Inside, his heart was beating and he was nervous. He had always liked Saeki, but he had never thought about loving Saeki.

Saeki slowly reached out to lift Fuji's face up to look at him. Confidently, he leaned closer so their lips could touch.

Fuji froze as many thoughts fled through his mind. What was he supposed to do? Should he move away? What about Tezuka?

"ANIKI!"

Fuji jolted and pushed Saeki away. He looked away, clearly avoiding Saeki's eyes as he stood up. "Yuuta is calling." Then, he turned and ran away.

"Syusuke!" Saeki called after his friend, but he was ignored. Disappointed, he huffed and berated himself. "Stupid, stupid." He pulled his hair frustratingly.

That night, Fuji's mind was stuck with the word 'love'. What was love? And how does love feel? His fingers ghostly swept over his lips, thinking how his first kiss was almost stolen by his childhood friend. Talking about first kiss, he almost lost it Tezuka too. But as he thought more about it, he wouldn't mind if it was Tezuka.

He closed his eyes and collapsed onto the bed.

"Why did Tezuka-san come up?" Fuji groaned and slapped his hand over his forehead. "How is he doing?" He wondered.

Fuji shook his head to rid of the thought. After a moment, he was fast asleep.

****O.O****

"This file here, make sure you hand it to the Director personally."

A nod.

"This one…" Tezuka murmured as he flipped through the content. "Make a copy of each and send the original to the Finance Department." He handed the folder to the assistant standing before him. "Let me know when the approval is through."

Another nod, and then a couple more until all files are cleared from Tezuka's desk.

When the assistant left, Tezuka sighed as he leaned back and rested his eyes. He should be happy, because this was what he wanted. An office job. Although he wasn't a board member at his father's company, he was satisfied with his current job as a department manager.

But…something was missing.

On Tezuka's desk was a picture of Fuji taken a while back when the agent got promoted. The picture was given to him by his grandpa. He didn't want to take it at first, but his grandpa insisted that he should. Truthfully, his mind wanted to forget Fuji, but his heart didn't allow it.

Tezuka ran his fingers across the photo longingly. "If you were only here with me, then everything would be perfect."

His father offered him a higher position, but Tezuka wanted to build up his fame by himself, so people wouldn't call him spoil. Tezuka let out a dry smile. Spoil. He remembered how Fuji had referred him to a spoiled rich kid. It became the reason that he didn't want to rely on his father much.

One week was short, but it was more than enough for Tezuka to realize that he was in love, for the first time. Even if it was only one week, he harbored an unforgotten memory of his time with Fuji like they had been together for a year. It was only one week before Fuji's death and one week after Fuji was dead that Tezuka needed to realize that he wanted to marry Fuji, but that wasn't possible anymore.

Tezuka shook his head to rid of the thought before he stood up to pack, getting ready to go home.

OMAKE

Asukura's eyes were always sad when they landed on his grandson. He could almost tell what was going on inside Tezuka's mind like how he could read most of his enemies' movements and actions.

He watched Tezuka as often as he could, to watch out for the boy because Fuji had asked him to before leaving the city.

Tezuka was improving, getting better each day as he buried himself with work. Asakura had visited Tezuka's workplace multiple times a week. Every time he was there, he saw Fuji's photo standing on Tezuka's desk like a trophy clean without dust.

When Asakura met up with his son-in-law one afternoon, he was told that there would be a ceremony to announce the new CEO of Tez Co. for Tezuka soon. That night, Asakura booked a flight to Chiba.

****O.O****

Tezuka had followed his father's footstep closely, learning and accomplishing many achievements. He rose up the hierarchy with his own accomplishments by his own hands, without the help from his father. Finally, the time came and his father handed the company over to him. A convention was held, and the news was announced.

Atobe came to congratulate Tezuka on being the new President of Tez Co.

"You haven't been out much lately." Atobe commented when they were left alone out in the garden.

Tezuka smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Things happened, and I changed. Besides, I'm a President of a company now. I can't go out like I used to anymore."

Atobe stole glances at Tezuka's face. His friend looked sad. "I think you've changed since you met him."

Tezuka's eyes perked up in surprise. He knew he shouldn't be, but he was. He didn't need Atobe to explain what that mean because he knew exactly who Atobe was referring to. Tezuka thinned his lips. "Maybe. Maybe not." He took a sip from the wine glass in his hand.

If Atobe didn't know Tezuka any better, he would have thought Tezuka had gotten over Fuji already. "You both would've looked good together."

Tezuka smiled sadly at the memory. Fuji was carved too clearly into his mind to forget. "We'd have been perfect together."

Atobe nodded in agreement. "He may be your first love, but it's time to move on, don't you think?"

Tezuka looked at Atobe, not at all amused at the suggestion. He had heard it before. "Even though he's no longer here, I don't think I will ever love anyone else besides him."

There was a moment of silence before Tezuka spoke up again. "Have you ever fallen in love?"

Atobe smiled a dorky smile. "Love?" He chuckled as he remembered his first love. He shook his head, thinking how silly it was when he and his fiancé met for the first time. "I'm engaged, Tezuka. Of course I've fallen in love."

Tezuka scoffed. "I thought you only love yourself."

Atobe jokingly punched Tezuka's arm. "Even if I'm a narcissist, I found my first love, and now we are engaged. Although, we have been betrothed years ago."

Tezuka let out a breath of envious. "You're lucky. You know that?"

Atobe laughed.

A while later, his grandpa came and Atobe left.

"I was hoping you would decide to move on."

Tezuka raised an eyebrow as he regarded his grandpa. He hated how he could never read his grandpa's expression. "You heard Atobe and me talking?" He wasn't mad or angry.

Talking about Fuji didn't make him feel emotional anymore. He was just glad that Fuji was still remembered by everyone.

Asakura nodded. "What would you do if you see him again?"

No one had ever asked him this question before. Tezuka was taken back.

****O.O****

Atobe had his head on clouds when he left Tezuka thinking about his fiancé. Doing so, he almost bumped into a person who just walked out into the garden.

Atobe rid himself of the thought and was about to apologize when his mouth dropped at the sight of the person in front of him.

"It's good to see you again, Atobe-san." The person smiled.

Atobe gaped after as the person walked toward the path that he left. It was just too freaky how Fuji reminded him of his first love…

Atobe frowned. Wait a minute…His eyes widened. "Fuji-san…is still alive?"

****O.O****

"I would tell him that I love him." Tezuka answered what his heart felt.

Asakura smiled, startling Tezuka for a second. "You wouldn't hate me for lying to you, would you?"

Tezuka was confused.

"I brought someone whom I want you to meet."

"Who is it?" Tezuka asked slowly. There was a feeling of Déjà vu. This reminded him of the time when Asakura introduced Fuji to him. It was too familiar that it made his heart beat faster.

Asakura turned his head to the left and smiled wider.

Tezuka followed the act only to have his breath taken away from the sight of the person standing not too far away. "Fu-Fuji?" Formality and everything else was forgotten. The only object in his view was Fuji, the man that he had been loving for a year.

Fuji's smile brought air into his lungs, and he began to breathe again.

Asakura left them silently.

Fuji smiled because Tezuka had literally turned into a stone. He stepped forward and slowly reached the spot in front of Tezuka. Tezuka didn't blink once during that time Fuji was moving closer.

Tezuka finally blinked when Fuji cleared his throat softly. "Hey." Fuji shyly greeted the man in front of him, not daring to look into the man's eyes.

Tezuka swallowed nervously. Having Fuji this close was almost unreal. His hand slowly reached up, but was hesitant. He was afraid that the person in front of him was a mere illusion, and if he touched Fuji, Fuji would vanish. Slightly, his fingers touched Fuji's hair. The strands slid gently against his fingers, and a smiled broke out. Fuji was real. In flesh. "You're real." Tezuka breathed out before swiftly brought Fuji into an embrace.

Fuji rubbed his cheeks on Tezuka's chest. "And back to me." He heard Tezuka whispering.

After a minute, Tezuka released Fuji. "You're still alive. I thought you were dead."

Fuji smiled, but it was strained. He looked to the ground. "I know, but I came back."

Tezuka's eyes drew downward sadly. "Why?" Fuji had been alive all these while, but why did Fuji lie and leave?

Fuji looked up and opened his eyes. "Because I realized many things." He paused.

Tezuka held Fuji's gaze and waited nervously.

Fuji began, slowly punctuating his words like he meant everyone of them.

"I realized that there was someone who cried for me when I was in the surgical ward and hoped that I would be okay."

"I realized that someone had fallen in love unconditionally with someone like me, who is selfish and maddening."

"And I realized that there is someone who still loves me despite my choice to leave and my choice to make him think that I was dead all this time. He was loving enough to never get mad at me for leaving him."

Fuji paused. His smile widened, but it was honest. "But most importantly," Tezuka held his breath.

"I had finally realized that…I love him." Fuji reached to grab Tezuka's hand. He looked down at their joint hands. "Tezuka Kunimitsu, I love you…with all my heart."

Two drops of tears fell down on their joint hands. Fuji quickly looked up to find that it came from Tezuka's eyes.

Tezuka leaned down closer to Fuji's face. "I love you…forever and ever, Fuji Syusuke." He closed the distanced and joined their lips. He kissed Fuji. When they separated, Fuji was flushing and breathing rapidly. Tezuka sucked in a large gulp of air and opened his mouth.

He was nervous, and Fuji was still his focus, but he couldn't help noticing that there were spectators. The chance was right before his eyes, and he couldn't wait anymore because if he did, he might lose it again. He knew what he was about to do would be too haphazard and careless, but he had to. He smiled genuinely and looked directly into Fuji's blue eyes, preparing what to say next. "Will you marry me?"

Fuji almost fell to the ground in surprise. His eyes grew bigger and rounder. The smile was swept off his face in surprise. He really didn't expect Tezuka would ask for his hand in marriage. Moreover, he didn't expect it would come out this quick, especially when they had just reunited.

Sounds of a few wine glasses shattered on the ground and gasps were the only things heard. Tezuka waited again. He was usually patient, but not this time. He wanted an answer quick because he was afraid that he had scared Fuji.

Tezuka heard footsteps before his family came to stand beside him. Fuji looked at them without blinking, as he hadn't recovered from the surprise yet.

Unexpectedly, Ayana smiled and nodded. Say yes.

Fuji returned the smile and the nod. He understood. He gazed back at Tezuka and beamed. "Yes!"

A month later, a marriage ceremony was held in the capital's largest cathedral. The married couple was Atobe and his fiancé. Fuji and Tezuka came as VIP guest.

Strangely, Fuji caught the bouquet without doing anything. He was simply standing in Tezuka's embrace as they watched the flower throwing ceremony when the bouquet came flying into his arms. He smiled at the bouquet and then up at Tezuka. He was rewarded with a mind-blowing kiss as people clapped around them.

Fuji smiled onto Tezuka's lips. "Do you think I will be as beautiful as Atobe-san's other half?"

Tezuka pulled Fuji closer. "More than that. You'll be gorgeous, my love." And he kissed Fuji again.

Although Atobe was smiling, inside he was glaring at the kissing couple for stealing the spotlight.

Another month passed by and Atobe's marriage had subsided. Tezuka and Fuji held their wedding at Aquagrace Chapel in Okinawa. Tezuka claimed the place was perfect because the picturesque reminded him of Fuji's eyes.

Fuji walked down the aisle with the agents, that he grew to endear, standing on both sides saluting their leader.

Tezuka thought Fuji was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. For the first time in his life, he egotistically admitted that his spouse was way way more beautiful than Atobe's. Tezuka smirked to himself at the thought. Maybe he could rub this into Atobe's face later when the ceremony ended.

And that was their Tezuka and Fuji's first love. It wasn't all candy and sunshine in the beginning, but it was perfect in the end.

Although there was one thing to be mentioned, Tezuka would love his grandpa more than his grandfather if his grandpa didn't give Fuji too many missions overseas. He hated sleeping alone next to the only thing that allowed him to hear Fuji's voice was his cell phone.

THE END…cheesy much? *wink*

AN: So….whose first love story is better? AtobexFuji or TezukaxFuji?
