Author’s Notes: Finally, I got to write it how I wanted it to become. This had to go through a lot of revisions, including the ones I did mentally, before it became like this. I hope you find it nice.
Fic Notes: This piece can most probably stand alone but is best read after you read its companion fic,
Falling Leaves. The general idea for this piece came from the book, The Rule of Four.
Disclaimers: Tennis no Oujisama and all its characters belong to Konomi-sensei. I hope he gets better. Only the plot is mine.

Constant Freefall
The world is round. That is a known and accepted fact by every human being. It has been proven by scientists and by astronauts who have had the privilege of traveling in space. In theory, Fuji thought, although gravity keeps us glued to the ground, we have never walked in a straight line.
People have always been in constant freefall.
Which was probably why he had never fought the pull Tezuka had on him or why he just let himself fall without holding back. He let the wind caress his cheeks; he gave all his trust that somehow there would be something to cushion his fall.
He wished. He hoped.
He looked back, a sliver of blue peeking from the slits of his eyes. It wasn’t running away, this trip to another country; he knew would never be able to escape the gravitational pull Tezuka had. But perhaps a little distance could help him do a little forgetting.
Even if the probability of it happening was something less than forty percent.
He was already falling and there was no chance of escape. Not even a parachute.
There has never been one.
