The Bachelor Party
“Eiji is so nice,
like him. He’s so adorable. You should hang out with him sometimes.”
What had he done to deserve hearing the ranting of a
lovesick so early in the morning? Sometimes Tezuka
wanted to scream to the heaven and asked about the injustice in his life.
First, he was engaged to a woman nine years older than him, and then he was
engaged to said woman’s brother and not too mention their families were all too
supportive about it (Tezuka cursed whoever put a pack
of condom in his bedside drawer) and lastly his best friend fell in love with a
bundle of childish energy (no, Tezuka didn’t think
really bad in his previous life.
“… ne,
Tezuka, are you listening?”
Tezuka sighed and rubbed his
temple. Damn Oishi and his lovesickness. “I’m sorry.
No.”
This time it’s Oishi who
sighed. Tezuka wanted to point out that
his love interest here but a knock on the door distracted him. Glad to be
rescued from the flood of information about Eiji,

you had breakfast?”
greeted him cheerfully as if he didn’t have a redhead trying to walk through
him to get to Oishi.
“Good morning. Yes, I have.”
“Then what do you think about a game of tennis?”
Tezuka briefly recalled

yesterday so he nodded. “All right.”
smiled and peered over his shoulder. “What about you Oishi-san?
Would you like to join us, too?”
Oishi stammered, his good
manner undoubtedly told him not to disturb Tezuka and

“Well, if it doesn’t bother you too much…”

The tennis courts were fortunately unoccupied.
played on the left most court while Eiji and
had offerd to play double match but
that he isn’t a good doubles partner. His playing style was far too individualistic.
“Yoroshiku,
ne?”
said when they shook hands before playing.
“Which?” Tezuka asked, ready
to decide who will serve first.
“Rough.”
There’s something about the way
fixed on the racquet so Tezuka couldn’t decide. He
twisted the racquet and showed
the result.
“Rough.”
“I’ll serve then.”
Tezuka had intended to go
easy on

knew it,

ever played. Soon he was forced to use a

chase the ball
sent to him but somewhere in the back of his mind a small voice told him that
the difficult match wasn’t the only reason why his heart was beating so
quickly.
eyes were open as he hit the ball back to Tezuka
as they watched the direction of the ball. Tezuka
suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy toward the yellow ball but quenched it down
as he executed his hidden technique once more. The ball dropped just over the
net and suddenly skidded back under the net to his side of the court. He had
earned another point.
As they changed courts, Tezuka
noticed that Eiji and Oishi
had finished their match and were watching them. Inui stood behind the chain
link fence and took some notes as he watched their match. Tezuka
ignored them and focused on the game once more.
Tezuka was just about to
serve the ball that would determine the result of their game when a drop of
water fell on his cheek. He looked up to see that the sky had darkened above
them. He had been so engrossed in the match that he didn’t notice the change of
weather.

the ball. His chest was heaving and his eyes were open to look at him with such
intensity that almost scared Tezuka. But
always smiling, always in control over his emotion. This was the first time he
saw him loose his cool. He looked so passionate, so wild, so
sexy.
The rain poured harder over them. Oishi
and Eiji ran for cover, calling them to join them,
but Tezuka paid them no heed. His entire attention
was focused on the person on the court across from him.
toward the stormy sky. Tezuka stayed silent, watching
him, waiting for him. When
looked at him, his eyes were hidden and his smile returned again.
“Let’s go inside.” He shouted over the heavy pouring of
rain.
Tezuka nodded, stifling the
sudden sense of disappointment. Together, they ran inside where Taka-san had
already waited with towels in hand. They took the towels with gratitude and
after drying themselves, went to the seats Taka-san got for them. For a while
they simply sat in silence, drinking the hot cocoa the young butler provided.
“It was a nice game.”

“Hmm?”

Tezuka didn’t believe him at
all.
one of the best players he had ever played against. The level of their skills
was almost equal, and Tezuka had played since grade
school. He wondered who would have won the match had the rain not fallen.
“Do you like tennis, Tezuka?”
“That look on your face when we were playing… you seemed to enjoy it so much.”
“Do you like
tennis?” Tezuka asked back, not denying
“It’s fun. I play it occasionally.”

Tezuka knew he wasn’t lying
and wondered how good
could be if he truly dedicated himself to the sport. As a tennis player
clearly a great talent. But

“Have you ever been to bachelor party,
suddenly asked, breaking the silence.
Tezuka frowned, remembering
the kind of parties he’d watched on movies. Wasn't it when the groom had a
party involving alcohol and
“No.” he said with a finality that said that he had never and would never go to
such thing.
ignored this though. “I want to throw a bachelor party for Shouri.
Would you like to join us?”
“No.”
“Maa, there won’t be any
strippers, Tezuka. We’re practically going to do it
around our parents, remember? Plus I don’t think we can get any strippers in
the middle of the ocean unless we get lucky and find a mermaid to strip for us
though I doubt that would ever happen.”
joked. “There’ll be some drink though. Interested?”
“No.” Tezuka repeated for the
third time. He sped up, wanting to escape this uncomfortable conversation as
soon as possible. With the way
was speaking, it seemed like he would not take no for an answer. Just as

“C’mon, Tezuka.
It’ll be fun. Accompany me at the very least.”
Tezuka froze as his groin
tightened. An image of
on his hands and knees, crawling towards him and purring out ‘please’ came
unbidden to his mind. He took a cautious step back. What was wrong with him?
Not realizing the direction Tezuka’s
mind was turning,
continued to smile. He revealed his beautiful blue eyes as he stepped closer to
Tezuka. “Please?”
Fighting back a blush, Tezuka
cleared his throat and asked, “Where?”
smile widened at the acquiescence. “Actually if you don’t mind, I want to do it
in your room.”
Tezuka scowled.
“Shouri’s room is close to
our parents’. Eiji’s is close to the guests. My room
is unfitting for the occasion at the moment. I just received a delivery of art
supplies.”
smiled his best smile, a cross between a seductive, innocent and mischievous
smile. “There won’t be too many guests and I’ll take care of everything.
Please?”

Tezuka relented finally.
“Thank you.”
said happily. Tezuka mused how childish he could be
when he got what he wanted. “I’ll come to your room later to set up/decorate.”

forced to attend. Soon after they had finished the guests started to pour in
and the party began.
Most of the guests were Shouri’s

decided against it because he would like to have a place to escape to when the
party grew out of control as he suspected would soon happen once the men each
had several bottles of beer.
Tezuka couldn’t fathom how
many times Shouri’s brother’s (Yuuri.
Is that his name?) blond companion had steeped on his
foot that night. Tezuka thought they looked
suspicious with the way the blond kept glaring and pouting every time

But Tezuka kept the thought to himself. He didn’t like meddling with people’s
business anyway.
Tezuka was rather surprised
when he saw Yuuta sneaking into the room. When

who turned out to be the blonde’s older brother (Tezuka
couldn’t see how they were related as they were so unlike each other) had the
presence of mind to stay sober and watch over everyone to make sure that no
harm was done. Yuuta was also drunk and was muttering
something about an unrequited love that Tezuka hope
Meanwhile, Oishi and Eiji
were still in their little love corner, totally oblivious to the world outside
of theirs. Tezuka was rather concerned that they
might start making out there in front of everyone though he doubted that anyone
would notice seeing as how most of the guests were already drunk.
Tezuka soon felt lost in his
own room. He looked around for the person responsible for this chaos and found
him in the balcony, looking up to the dark sky above. Tezuka
joined him as soon as one of the drunken guests suggested a karaoke contest.
The room was thankfully soundproof so that when he closed the glass door behind
him, only a fraction of the unrecognizable noise was heard.
He stared at

directed his eyes to the silver sphere above as soon as his brain started to
notice the paleness of

“Aa.”
“Don’t you think it deserved to be immortalized in a
picture?”
“Aa.”
Tezuka paused. “Do you want to…”

Silence wrapped over them once again.

completely still as wind caressed their bodies, teasing their hairs and
clothing to dance to the song of a silent night.
“What are they doing inside?”
Tezuka glanced behind him and
almost shuddered when he saw Yuuta screaming
something to the microphone while jumping up and down on the table. “They’re
doing karaoke.”
smiled softly. “Sound like fun. Do you want to join them?”
“Do you?”
“No. I’m a horrible singer.”
“So are they.”
chuckle turned into a laugh, melodious as the wave of the ocean. “I didn’t know
you’re capable of that.”
“Of what?”
“Cynicism. You seemed to be a
kind and perfect young man.”
“So are you.”
hummed and took a sip of his beer. “I won’t argue.”
“Never judge a book by its cover.”
“Looks are deceiving.”
Tezuka smiled lightly at that.
He raised his beer can for a toast with the wind. “I’ll drink to that.”

“Doesn’t that make you think of what could happen to us
someday?”
suddenly asked after several moments of comfortable silence.
The beer can paused in its way
to Tezuka’s lips. “
“Do you think we’ll get married?”
Tezuka frowned lightly.
“We’ve discussed this.”
smiled. “Then I’ll change my question. Do you want to marry me?”
“It’s convenient for…”
“What do you think of me?”
Tezuka hesitated to answer
but slowly faced

good-looking, handsome, beautiful.” The drink had
loosened his tongue but he was barely aware of it. The sight of
vulnerable in the embrace of the night, yet so attentive to him drove all
rational thought out of his head. “Lovely, attractive.
Extremely so.”
“So…?”
asked so softly that Tezuka thought he had dreamt of
it.
“Hmm?”
“Extremely so…?”
Tezuka closed his eyes,
trying to recall what he had said. But the wind had carried them away and the
alcohol clouded his brain making it difficult for him to think of anything
beyond this moment. He opened his eyes to look straight into clear blue orbs

Tezuka nodded.

“I know you.” Tezuka insisted
softly.
“Do you, I wonder?”
“Perhaps not as well as I thought, but I know what I
see.”
“And what do you see?”
Tezuka paused, thinking. The
alcohol impaired his ability to think clearly. He couldn’t think of a word to
describe what he had in mind. He closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind
slightly to grant datetime="2007-10-20T18:05"> an
answer before opening them again shortly. “You. I see
you, Fuji Shuusuke.”
The smile froze, the eyes turned glassy.

“And what did you see in me?” Tezuka
suddenly found himself asking.

Perhaps the confession should’ve made him embarrassed
but Tezuka was strangely warmed by it. “Oh.”
They finished their drink in silence. Not a word passed
between them even as
