Prince Of Tennis Fan Fiction ❯ A Friendly Infatuation ❯ Worsening Conditions ( Chapter 5 )
Fuji
Tezuka ran all the way down his street, and looked up and down the main street. He started up toward Eiji’s house, at a jog, looking all around the buildings. He stopped, panting, and looked around. Then he saw them, about thirty feet up and across the street. Eiji on the ground, and Fuji standing above him, something raised over his head.
“Fuji, stop!” Tezuka said, and broke into a run again. When he reached them, he skidded to a stop and dropped to his knees, covering Eiji’s body with his own. A split second later he felt a sharp pain in his back. It bloomed in the right shoulder blade and spread through his whole back. He heard something clatter to the ground, and he heard footsteps walking away from them. He stood up seeing bursts of light because of the pain, which had spread through to his entire back now. He looked around, but Fuji was no where in sight. On the ground, there was a tennis racket. Apparently an old school extra, with one edge splattered with what looked disturbingly like blood. He turned back and looked down at the redhead crouching on the sidewalk. Eiji was laying on his side, with his hands covering his face. He was shaking violently.
“Eiji?” Tezuka said quietly, “Eiji come on, its safe now, he is gone. We have to get up and get out of here.”
He grabbed Eiji’s elbow and helped him to his feet. Eiji looked at him, completely dazed. He was bleeding from a wound in his forehead and he had a black eye starting to show. He blinked and just stared at Tezuka, not moving. Then he fell forward and into Tezuka’s arms.
“Do you wanna go back to your house or mine?” Tezuka asked him.
“Yours, definitely.” Eiji said weakly.
He began to sob openly and the captain petted him gently and walked him slowly back to his house.
When they got there, Tezuka was happy that there was no tennis practice today,because that meant that there was twice as much time before he parents would come home. There was plenty of time to get them both cleaned up. He walked Eiji slowly up the stairs and into his room where he lay him down gently on his bed. Eiji tried to get up, but Tezuka pushed him gently down.
“I don’t want you getting up right now ok?” Tezuka said, “You are really hurt.”
“I am fine, I just need to get a shower and get cleaned up, so just stop worrying.”
He looked up at Tezuka a small smile on his face. “Actually I am worried about you Tez. You took that last hit, and I could feel it through you.”
“Yeah well, I don’t think it was me he was going after, so I wouldn’t worry about that.”
Eiji looked at him worriedly and then looked away quickly.
“What is it?” Tezuka asked.
“It’s nothing. Do you think I could stay at your house tonight without too much guff from your parents?”
“Yeah, they never really mind what I do.”
“I just don’t feel like having my parents asking me lots of questions just yet.”
“So you aren’t going to tell them about Fuji?”
“No, because telling them about him would entail telling them about us.” Eiji said, looking away. “I am just not quite ready for that step yet.”
Tezuka leaned forward and pulled Eiji to him, hugging the redhead gently.
If you want to take a shower, go ahead, I will wait right here for you.
“Ok Tezuka, thanks.” Eiji said, getting up and going to take a shower.
When he got out, he walked into Tezuka’s bedroom, still drying his hair. He put his pants back on, but had left his shirt off, as it had blood on it. He saw Tezuka standing at his dresser, changing his shirt. Before the captain turned around, Eiji got a look at the man’s back.
“Oh Tezuka.” Eiji said sadly, “Is this what you get for protecting me?”
“What?” Tezuka said, before realizing that he was talking about his back. He walked over to the body length mirror that hung in his closet. Turning just so, he could see the blue and purple outline of a tennis racket.
“Ahh I’m alright cutie, as long as you are.” He said with a chuckle. He cleared his throat and smiled as walked toward Eiji. He kissed Eiji’s cheek, and looked at the welt on his forehead. It wasn’t too deep, and that was good. Then he looked at the black eye, which also wasn’t as bad as it could be.
“You aren’t as bad off as you could have been.” He said, putting his hands in his love’s hair and holding them at the base of his neck. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t there sooner.” He said, looking Eiji in his beautiful blue eyes.
“It’s not your fault Tez.” Eiji said seriously looking back into the brown ones. He wrapped his arms around the taller man’s waist, laying his head on the toned chest.
“I love you Eiji.” Tezuka said. Then he coughed a little.
“I love you too.” Eiji said, quietly. Then, “Are you alright?”
“I’m just fine. My throat feels a little dry though.”
“I can take care of that.” Eiji said, and pulled Tezuka’s head down and kissed his lips softly. His tongue pressing against Tezuka’s lips, begging for access to his lover’s mouth. The captain leaned in and pulled Eiji close, kissing him deeply. When the kiss broke the two men walked downstairs and ate, to get that out of the way before Tezuka’s parents came home. When they went back upstairs, Tezuka put Benny and Joon back on, since they hadn’t watched any of it the night before. After awhile, Tezuka’s parents called for him. While he was gone, Eiji looked around his room. Everything was so neat. It was almost as if no one lived in this room. Eiji picked up the phone and called his parents, telling them that he wouldn’t be home tonight. Even though his father yelled at him for not calling sooner, they allowed him to stay.
Tezuka came back up and came into his room, shutting the door behind him. He looked at Eiji, smiling.
“What? Should I take it your parents said I could stay?” Eiji asked.
“Well yeah, but that isn’t why I am smiling.” He replied coyly. “I’m smiling because I have the hottest guy in school sitting on my bed.”
Eiji blushed sweetly. Tezuka walked over and sat next to him on the bed.
“Never thought I would get to sleep with you so soon.” Eiji said giggling.
“Lucky me.” Tezuka said kissing him softly. “Are you ready to watch this other movie? It’s one of my favorites, and it is really scary.”
“Yeah, lets do it.”
When Tezuka had put the movie in the player and went and sat on the floor, in the same position as last night, Eiji sat between his legs, leaning against his chest. Tezuka went to lean against the bed, but his back was too sore to allow that. He hissed with pain, and Eiji sat up quickly and turned around.
“Are you alright babe?” Eiji said with concern.
“I’m fine cutie.” He said. He coughed a few times. “My ribs are kinda sore is all, I will be fine, but I am gonna need to move to the bed. Sorry.”
Tezuka got on the bed and lay down on his side. Eiji climbed up next to Tezuka and cuddled up with him. Tezuka nuzzled into Eiji’s neck and licked it playfully.
“Don’t start something that you can’s finish.” Eiji said with a giggle.
“Who said I cant finish it?” Tezuka said. He rolled Eiji over and kissed him. Eiji wrapped his arms around his lovers neck and kissed him back. Tezuka kissed down Eiji’s chest, licking his nipples and suckling each one in turn. Eiji moaned out gently, arching his back as Tezuka moved down his stomach and licked the waistline of his pants. Eiji ran his hands through the captain’s hair as Tezuka slid the pants down, exposing the erection there. Tezuka took it in his hand, lovingly stroking it, admiring the way it looked. Eiji panted while Tezuka stroked him. Leaning down to tease the head with his tongue, tasting the pre-cum wanting to taste more. He slowly eased his mouth over the whole thing, using his hand to cup Eiji’s balls. Eiji bucked his hips up gently, and Tezuka used his tongue to press against the shaft. He continued for a few seconds, before he began to notice the way Eiji’s breathing had become more erratic. He was getting close to orgasm, and Tezuka worked his mouth frantically wanting to have the juices in his mouth.
“Oh Tez.” Eiji panted right before Tezuka tasted the burst of warm and salty fluid fill his mouth. He resisted the urge to pull back, and instead swallowed what was in his mouth and sucked on the twitching cock for more. Eiji’s body was tense while the climax ran through his body. When he had relaxed, Tezuka moved back up and kissed his neck.
They lay next to each other, Eiji having fallen asleep. Tezuka not sleeping, watching Eiji in fear of concussion. The night passed that way, and Tezuka’s cough increased, which began to worry him. He began to dose as the sun was coming up. Eiji woke him at eight.
“I gotta get home.” He said, not looking at Tezuka.
“Already?”Tezuka said trying to catch his eye. “Can I walk you?”
“No, you can’t” Eiji said, pulling his shirt on. “I can’t be with you Tezuka, I just can’t.”
Tezuka stood there, in a daze.
“After everything you are leaving me anyways?”
“You don’t understand. I have to.”
“But why?” The captain asked, his eyes shiny with tears.
Eiji didn’t answer, he just turned and walked out of his room. Tezuka heard the door shut, and he watched as Eiji walked down to the end of the driveway and stood there for a few minutes. He looked like he was crying. Tezuka coughed again, raising a hand to his mouth. His mouth felt wet, and he wiped it with his hand. Looking down he saw that his hand was speckled with blood.
