I Care (one-shot)
“Hey you’re receiving your result tomorrow right?” Yamashita Tomohisa casually asked the boy who was leaning beside him against the tree.
“Yep.”
“Stressed?”
“A little I guess.”
“Well just to let you know…I don’t plan to be the last person to know your result.” Yamapi said, looking away.
“Hmm can I not tell you?” Tegoshi replied with a little hesitation.
Yamapi’s face darkened, a little hurt, a little disappointed, but he did not let the other see.
He likes the other boy, but right now they’re both in a stage when everything’s uncertain. Just when he assumes the relationship between them were at least something better than acquaintances, he received the biggest smack across his face.
“Up to you then.”
The other boy tucked his hands in his pocket and bit his lips.
“I’m off, busy. See you.” Yamapi said with disguised frustration, walking off towards the road.

From: Yamapi
Heard you did quite well from Shige.
So which University you’ve opted for?
***
From: Tesshi
I don’t even know if I can make it.
***
From: Yamapi
Well it can’t be for our Tegoshi Yuya.
He’s always able to. (=
So where is it?
***
Yamapi sat there and waited for a reply, but none came after a very long time.
So this is how it is.
You’re saying a no to me.
Yamapi sighed and sat at the same spot for a very long time.
It was only until dusk when he finally moved, a new resolution made in his mind.

“Tesshi…tell me about your University~~! Which University and which course did you get into?” Koyama whined as he pulled Tegoshi’s shirt from behind.
“Haha you want to know? Then…I’ll tell you, but keep it a secret okay?” Tegoshi grinned.
Koyama nodded his head stupidly, always fooled into the fancy for the other little boy.
Tegoshi leaned forward and whispered into Koyama’s ear.
“EEHHHH?! That’s fantastic!!!” Koyama cheered.
“Shhhhh~!” Tegoshi reminded.
“Nee…Tegonyan, tell us too.” Ryo ordered.
“Yes yes we want to know too!” Massu begged with food still in hand.
Tegoshi laughed before he ran around the room whispering into everyone’s ears.
“I seriously think that is surprising for our Tegonyan.” Ryo commented.
“Yes, it’s definitely weird for someone who doesn’t look half as intelligent as myself.” Shige added.
“But I think it suits him perfectly fine!” Koyama defended, ruffling Tegoshi’s hair affectionately.
“Erm what are you guys talking about? But anyway I agree with Koyama.” Massu issued another silly grin, and then took another bite of his burger.
“Nee…Yamapi you think?” Ryo asked, seeing the former being so quiet alone at the corner of the room.
“Huh? Hmm I don’t know what’s going on.” Yamapi pulled a force smile.
“Oh Tegoshi’s telling us about which University he’s going to, haven’t he told you yet?” Ryo further explained.
Yamapi shook his head, and then resumed wiping his guitar.
“Hey, don’t you want to know?” Ryo asked again seeing him being so unusually uninterested in Tegoshi-related business.
Yamapi shook his head again without even looking up.

“You really don’t care which University or course I entered?” Tegoshi asked.
The two has through someway or another ended up at the old oak tree again.
“They seem to give a good portrait of it. If it’s good then that’s good then.” Yamapi shrugged.
Tegoshi tucked his hand in his pockets and bit his lips again.
“You don’t even ask anything about me recently.”
“Well I don’t want to seem as though I’m trying to pry into your business. If you want to let me know I will always lend my ears, but if you don’t want to let me know then even if I ask I wouldn’t be able to get it out of your mouth.”
Tegoshi sighed.
“So you don’t like me anymore is that it?” He questioned.
Yamapi suddenly received what seemed like a shock.
“It’s not it…I mean I-I…erm it’s nothing like that. It’s just th-that…ahh…” Yamapi stopped and scratched his head. His heartbeat accelerated as he still finds it impossible to phrase a proper sentence to the other’s question.
“I used to think that you at least care about me, even if you don’t say it in wor-”
“I care.”
Tegoshi looked up in alarm upon hearing the other’s words.
“I am just unsure if you want me to care.” Yamapi finally admitted.
Tegoshi couldn’t help but bit the wall of his mouth to stop the silly smile from revealing itself.
“I want you to, and that would be lovely.” Tegoshi grinned at the other finally, melting the other with that smile of his.
It’s a start at least.
So basically school's killing me. & would soon finish me off in the weeks to come because i stupidly chose the harder-to-cope combination. Hope i survive it then. As for fics i'll still try to update regularly. Because fandom is the thing to relieve stress, tell me i'm right people? XDDD
