Confusion

Sainfoin – You confuse me

From the first moment in which Ryoma Echizen met Syuusuke Fuji, he knew that his life would change. Well… not exactly knew but he remembered there was a sensation like he had never known.

He found it strangely confusing and thrilling at the same time.

Once, he remembered, Fuji had decided to tag along on Momoshiro and his usual afternoon trip to the fast food restaurant.

Ryoma had thought nothing of it at first. But when both Ryoma and Momoshiro had finished and Fuji was still chewing daintily on his burger, things became awkward.

He noticed a strange tension in the air – so thick, he could slice it with a butter knife – and most came from Momoshiro.

When the awkward afternoon snack was over, the three headed for the tennis courts where they quickly resumed their regular pace and shed off a few calories.

That day was soon forgotten if it weren’t for Fuji.

Another time, Fuji asked Ryoma if he wanted to watch a movie together.

At first, Ryoma refused. But over time, Fuji managed to manipulate Ryoma into saying yes.

So Ryoma went with Fuji and saw one of the sleeper movies.

Not that he’d tell Fuji.

Still, he remembered how Fuji had watched Ryoma when they ate with Momoshiro, how his eyes glinted as he chewed, how Fuji didn’t even pay attention to the movie but on him instead when he was usually never, and how close Fuji’s body was to his.

He remembered leaning closer to Fuji, whispering into the dark theatre:

“You confuse me.”

Only to have Fuji smile.
