Notes on Log: Skype is on chat, but not video.
Fuji: *through Skype* ... Tezuka?
Tez: *after a few tries, answers his call with his right hand creeping out of the blankets to click the computer button* .....*doesnt speak*
Fuji: *frowns, the cracker he's been nibbling on half eaten in his hand* All I hear is breathing and breathing and breathing. It's very creepy.
Tez: *mumbles*...Sorry.
Fuji: So... Since you're not going to play my creepy stalker... May I ask why you were acting like you were drunk or something? You're worrying me.
Tez: *after a good ten minutes of shuffling silence, ignores the question entirely, as he doesn't know how to explain without telling Fuji what happened* ....You have a stalker?
Fuji: No. Not really. Just this guy I've been dating who's... Oh, never mind. I thought you fell asleep on me there. What time is it in Germany? You're... seven hours after us, right?
Tez: Mmmm......who's what? *woke up a few hours after atobe talked him to sleep, still a bit drunk and hazy, but his mind is functioning well enough to know something is wrong*
Fuji: Nothing. We're not going to talk about me right now, okay? Tezuka... please? *nibbles on the cracker again, while sending small nonsense text messages to Yukimura and Shiraishi on the side*
Tez: ....If there wasn't something wrong...there wouldn't be something to not talk about......later?
Fuji: ... *long pause* Later. Later is good.
Tez: *nods...then forgets that fuji cant see it* Did you...run laps?
Fuji: I did. Fifteen laps.
Tez: *mumble mumble* ...proud ... *mumble mumble*
Fuji: *glad Tezuka can't see, because oops, he's blushing* Tha--thank you.
Tez: ....Twenty tomorrow.
Fuji: ... Sure thing. *blinks a little* We are already being drilled by the coaches here, you know~
Tez: Laps are different....Are you winning your matches?
Fuji: I am. They're difficult, and I've still to reach the same level as Yukimura, but... Enough about me. You're the one who played against a professional!
Tez: Not many have... *murmurs something unintelligible, muffled by the blankets*
Fuji: I can't hear you... I am pouting at you right now, I hope you realize that.
Tez: ....Why?
Fuji: You're keeping something from me. This isn't like you. At all.
Tez: *deep breath* I can't tell you. Not...now.
Fuji: *long, long pause* I understand. But... Then when? When you come back from Germany? That could take years.
Tez: I'll be back within the next two weeks, Fuji.
Fuji: What. No, really... What? Why? What happened, Tezuka?
Tez: Because....I don't have a reason to be here anymore. *voice groggy, as if hes falling asleep again*
Fuji: ... Tezuka. Please. Tezuka. Please. Just talk to me. What happened?
Tez: It will be okay. Don't tell anyone what I've said.
Fuji: How can you ask that of me when I don't know what's going on...?
Tez: *murmuring inaudibly* ....Please
Tez: Trust me.
Fuji: *doesn't know why but throat and chest is tightening - doesn't like this feeling at all* It's you, Tezuka. I trust you. Always. I won't tell anyone.
Tez: Thank you, Syuusuke.
Fuji: *gasps, eyes wide* Y-you're welcome. *stutters*
Tez: *...snoring softly, asleep again*
Fuji: ........... *hangs up, dazed* *puts laptop away and curls up on his bed, hugging his pillow* What's wrong...?
