Summary: It’s not how Syuusuke chose Tezuka- it’s how he can’t do anything but love him.
There’s something magical about the sunrise, with the inexorable dawning of a new day and new possibilities. Fuji Syuusuke greets the morning sun with his immovable smile and discarded covers- if he’s lucky, he gets to see Tezuka relaxed and calm. He’s smiling slightly in his sleep, and Fuji softly gets out- wincing at the creaking bed frame- and stretches.
He’s just regretting that there’s only a few more minutes before Tezuka- predictably- wakes up.
Why can’t God give me more than twenty-four hours a day with this man?
Fuji’s young- he has his life set out ahead of him, with more hardships and more tournaments and rolls of grip tape to wear out. He’s got more than enough time to worry about creases on his forehead and actually opening his eyes so he doesn’t look like he’s falling asleep at the wheel. He doesn’t have to worry about which girls to ask out- not like I’ll ask out anybody else when I have Tezuka.
He’s got people to back him up through those years, too. Because the people he knows aren’t just people he happens to meet- Fuji forges relationships that last for a lifetime. I want us to last forever.
He’s going to be looking forward to having more conversations with Eiji, and sharing more smiles with Shuichiro. Fuji means to continue those discussions about the next juice recipe with Inui and holding Tezuka’s hand, kissing Tezuka until I can’t breathe any longer, walking side-by-side with Tezuka, always.
Tezuka’s awake- he can tell, because Fuji’s sharp ears pick up the soft rustle of sheets being pushed away and the telltale creaking of his bed.
“…good morning.” Fuji greets him with a gentler smile, with his blue eyes open- and he feels a wide palm pull at his wrist and drag him back to bed.
“It’s Sunday.”
“I know.” And his eyes close again as Fuji let himself be tugged back into bed and kissed senseless.
