- D E A D L I N E -


Tezuka didn’t think Fuji would be a novelist during their school days. He used to think that Fuji would be a photographer, a journalist, slightly hoping he would also consider being a pro in tennis, or maybe, even a cacti-specialist. But a novelist? He hadn't considered the possibility.

But Fuji did love to surprise people, didn’t he?

When they finally started a relationship, Fuji suddenly said he would be a novelist. That way, he could go anywhere Tezuka needed to go for his tournaments, since Tezuka finally made it to be a professional player. All he needed was his laptop and internet access, and Tezuka could take him anywhere he had to go.

At first, Tezuka liked the idea.

At first.

As time went by, Fuji started to be a well-known novelist. He wrote for various genres like romance, comedy, suspense, thriller, mystery… he could write about anything. Part of being a prodigy, perhaps. The publisher where he wrote for seemed to be really fond of his works and they kept making Fuji write novels after novels.

Fuji himself didn’t seem to mind. Once, he said that being a novelist is quite challenging. How you should put your imagination into words, how you could add emotions that would also taking your readers’ emotions with your words… Fuji loved the challenge.

But of course, a novelist had that dreadful thing called ‘deadline’.

Right now, Fuji’s deadline was drawing near, and he still had a few chapters to write. It had been two days since both of them arrived in Australia for a tournament Tezuka had to participate, yet Fuji had never been away from his laptop, even for a minute. Tezuka was a seeded player, so he hadn’t had his match yet, and so he spent his time watching Fuji typing day in and day out in his laptop, in their hotel room.

When Tezuka tried to say something to Fuji, the blue-eyed man would only answer with some grunts, without even taking his eyes off of his monitor. He was always like this when being chased by deadlines.

Tezuka didn’t like that.

So, he took off his glasses and embraced the lithe man from behind. When Fuji’s only response was “Hn?”, Tezuka started kissing the top of his head.

That, at least made Fuji turned his head.

Tezuka took the chance to claim Fuji’s soft lips, and started nibbling on his lower lip, waiting for Fuji to give up and make an opening for him.

When finally they broke the kiss for air, Fuji pouted, “Mou, you’re really distracting me, Mitsu.”

Tezuka’s lips twitched a little upward. “Is that so? I’m sorry,” he said while pulling away, but when Fuji caught his wrist, he smirked in triumph.

“Now, now… you do know I can’t leave things unfinished, do you?” Fuji smiled teasingly as he stood from the chair and yanked Tezuka down to their bed.

“I do,” Tezuka curtly replied.

Encircling his arms around the taller man’s neck, Fuji spoke again, “You meanie,” before pulling Tezuka closer and brought their lips together again. “Maa, I think deadline can wait… as always,” he murmured between the kisses.

Before kissing Fuji senseless again, Tezuka commented “That’s good.”

Because Tezuka didn’t like being ignored.


-NeverEnding-


A/N: I know I should be working on the novel. I know I shouldn’t be writing fanfics, but but but…
Comments would revive my half-dead brain, so please do leave your comments >.<
Feel free to point out any typos or errors since I didn’t check this. Done in only 20 minutes of my escape from work.

P.S: yes, the inspiration came from me being chased by my deadline T.T *goes off to work on her novel again*

Waiwai ^__^
Being a novelist does quite suit Fuji methinks. And Tezuka taking the initiative is just too smooth *** (well, I suppose being captain, only child andsoon never had him get accustomed to being ignored ...)

Very, very nice! (And I hope your novel is progressing - I'm currently rather stuck on my scientific paper on the xinghai rev... with a far-too-close deadline...)

Ganbatte, ne ^^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Wah, you're fast! :D
Hahha, I've read a fic where Fuji being a novelist and I thought back then that Fuji could be a good novelist XD;;
And yes, Tezuka asked for attention by merely existing, he couldn't stand being ignored now, could he XD;;

thanks for reading! My novel is progressing quite smoothly, i think I can make it on time :D
good luck with your paper too ^______^

[elanielyn.livejournal.com]

Really liked that. It was very lovely and Fuji as a novelist is quite interesting... It remind me of something althouhg I can't remember of what ^^U

Lucky you who can write a novel in a week and actually get it published ^^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Eheheh~ I wanted to make Fuji on the same boat as me XD;; *smacked*
there was a fic with Fuji as a novelist, probably about that? :D

thanks for reading, and thanks, I think I'm indeed lucky XD;;
Although the deadline is killing me >.>

[elanielyn.livejournal.com]

Nope, I've never read that fic... Well, nevermind. I'll remember slater probably...

Hehe,don't worry, you'll made it on time. Ganbatte!

[chibikaoruchan.livejournal.com]

Heeeh, cute as ever, Tezuka n Fuji, ne! ^___^
It's really really good for a 20 mins work! I know I can't do that! ='(

Write more, and good luck on your novel! ^__^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was really dizzy from the novel and needed some TezuFuji-ness so I wrote this XD;;

I'll write more after finishing this novel of course :D
and thank you <22 *hugs*

[pat-ace87.livejournal.com]

I loved it, and I can picture Tezuka getting annoyed at Fuji ignoring him ^_^!!!!!!!! Good luck on your novel !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Eheheh, no one should ever ignore Tezuka ne? especially Fuji XD;;
thanks for reading, and thank you for cheering me :D

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

I was wondering how did you get here since I haven't crosspost this to the comm XD;;

thanks for reading :D
hahah, it's not everyday I write this fast,, only when the muse is nagging on my brain or when doing some song meme (which allow me to write in only around 4 minutes each) or when I want to escape from work XD;; *smacked*

thank you! I'll write more fics when I'm done with this novel ^_____^

[forbiden-past.livejournal.com]

Oh..kata2 nya pasti berdasarkan pengalaman sendiri ya..judulnya aja deadline, persis seperti yang sedang dihadapi sekarang, hehe^^

Ya iayalah Tezuka ga mau ditolak, secara dulu perintahnya selalu dipatuhi pas masih jadi kapten Seigaku..

Tapi takut juga kalo Fuji jadi novelist,jangan2 ntar dia nulis yang aneh2 lagi, hehe^^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Eheheh... iyah, gitu deh XD;;
saiia stres ama deadline, jadi butuh sedikit TezuFuji-ness LOL..

btul sekali!! walaupun Fuji, jangan coba2 nggak peduliin Tezuka yah XD;;

hahah... mending novelist. gimana kalo dia nulis buku motivasi? bisa2 cuci otak orang2 dia tar XD;;

[vierblith-tefu.livejournal.com]

Fuji as a novelist wins for life!!! :D
Fuji as Tezuka's love is for life!!! XD

I want to have a published novel too. Mou.

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hahah, I wanted Fuji to feel what I feel XD;;
but forbiden_past said that having Fuji as a novelist is kinda scary. what if he writes "unusual" things XD;;

^{Eheheh.. ^^ try to send your work to some publishers? or maybe participate in a writing competition? that was how I started :D (though I didn't win, I got my novel published ^^)}

[vierblith-tefu.livejournal.com]

... unusual things are fun! XD Adventures of Tezuka and Fuji only Fuji shall use different names. XD

Hm, well... publishing in the Philippines is really difficult. And I suppose I'm not a good enough writer to enter a competition. Oh, well.

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

LoL, indeed... Fuji would be a great novelist, wouldn't he XD;;

^{Really? I think you're a great writer. maybe you should try entering a competition next time :D}

[vierblith-tefu.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. Why don't you write something wherein Tezuka reads a story written by Fuji and then he realizes that he only has to change the names of the lead characters and it resembles one of their memories? XD

Aww... Thanks~ I feel loved. But, well, writing is really just a hobby so I'm not sure if I can do that. I'll be writing for the college magazine though since a friend wants me to write TezukaFuji fanfics (only we'll change the names and gender after I write them so it'll be good for everyone to read). XD

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Eh, but isn't there already a fic like that? I thought it's called "October" or something... wait.. *checks her fics folder*
Oh, my bad, it's called September by "weighed and measured" in ffnet. and that fic is truly beautiful, I dare not writing with similar theme XD;;

^{but I do have another plot bunny for a fic that keeps nagging at the back of my head for a month now.. but that'd be angst, and while I'm at it, I'll probably need to use the style that resembles your "Remembrance". (second person POV, ne?) May I? but of course, the idea is different :D}

You are luffed! *glomps*
LOL, that's a good idea! would you write the TezuFuji version too and share it with us, though? :D
^{Now that I think about it, I was given such a short time in working on this project that I ended up making one of th character like Fuji >.>
though none of them are like Tezuka though. No grade schooler here acts like Tezuka XD;;
now I feel like writing FujixOC O__O *smacked}

[vierblith-tefu.livejournal.com]

Well... September is like that. But I'd like to read/write something more concrete. Less angsty, more fluffy. :P

Aww... anything TezuFuji is loved! Plus, I myself just lifted the Remembrance idea of a short story I've read (and it's not really second person PoV ;D ) so write as you see fit! :D

Actually, it will be written as TezuFuji initially because TezuFuji brings out the best in me. XD Then, when it's done, I'll just replace all the names. XD And I'm actually going to share a more... fun, more TezuFuji version of it because this talk about novelist!Fuji gave me a very fun idea. :P

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hahah... September is more of angst and dram indeed... I'll see if I can write a fluff for it then :D

ehehhe, thanks, then I'll write it as soon as I have the time. actually the idea was completed after I remember "Remembrance" so I think I should ask first XD

Yaaay~!!! I'll read something from you soon then? :D
what kind of idea? :D

[ilovefuji-xx.livejournal.com]

LOL i love the fact that the story came from your deadline. I somehow really liked this story <3333

Tezuka is a meanie who knows what he wants and gets it. <3333

Sorry I haven't commented in a while, I went outstation for my choir state competition! We won btw, so we'll be competing national level!

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

RL problems are good sources of inspirations *nods*

Hahah,, Tezuka just doesn't like being ignored XD

wow, CONGRATZ~!! *throws confetti*

[white-ashes07.livejournal.com]

Good going, Tezuka!

And good luck on your novel. ^^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Eheheh... my Tezuka is getting naughty ne XD;;

thank you! I'm almost finish! :D

[dhorz.livejournal.com]

Because Tezuka didn’t like being ignored.

Lovely. As in. Super. I like that you characterized Fuji as a novelist; it makes him so much sexier. XD

Plus I love the idea of Tezuka being a distraction. ♥
Again, I wave my banner of support for your novel!

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Thanks~! Being chased by deadline made me turned Fuji into a novelist XD;;
And of course Tezuka is a distraction for Fuji, and vice-versa XD;;
thanks for readingglad you liked this :D

and thanks! I'm almost done with the novel x3

[myojo-s-me.livejournal.com]

Whe~ so cute~
“Now, now… you do know I can’t leave things unfinished, do you?” Such a nice line.. very fitting^^

“Maa, I think deadline can wait… as always,”
Nice thing if that is possible... *sighs and goes back to writing her essay*

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :D
and glad you liked that line. it just popped up in my mind XD;;

hahah, it's only possible for Fuji, since he's the tensai after all. even if he 'slacks off' a little, he'd still make it on time... *sigh and envies Fuji*
thanks for taking your time to read this :D

[eliza-natsuko.livejournal.com]

“Maa, I think deadline can wait… as always,”
I love this line! >w<
this is a good one! I hope you'll finish your novel soon so that I can read more of your fics

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

I feel like my Tezuka is getting naughtier >.>
ahahah, glad you like the line :D I SO want to be able to say that >.>

Thanks for reading, glad you liked this :D
and I've just finished the novel!!! whew, I've been writing non-stop XD;;
sooo... yes, you'll read more from me. my brain is filled with MUSES! Mwahahahaha >D

[xelyssa.livejournal.com]

Haha. You go Mitsu! lol (Your Tezu make me laugh)

You're writing a novel? wow! ^-^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Eheheh... glad that it made you laugh :D
probably I should change the genre into 'humor' XD

and yes, I'm an (amateur) novelist ^^

[mitsu-syusuke.livejournal.com]

tezuka, u naughty boy..
but fuji(and me) like cheeky tezuka!
XD

[vicky-coow.livejournal.com]

Oh dear i love this story so much.
you get my heart.
And i like a sensitive Tezuka too.

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hey! thanks so much for reading <33
glad you liked this ^______^

[towel-master.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of Fuji as a novelist - it's certainly a job that could keep him interested. (: And it's cute that he did it to follow Tezuka. ^^

Good luck with your deadline!

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Heheh... Fuji just love Tezuka that much that he considered being a novelist just to follow Tezuka XD;;

thanks, I'm glad you liked it ^______^

[invidia92.livejournal.com]

"I love deadlines. I love the swishing sound when they fly by" (unsure about the quote in English as I've only read it in my Native tongue). It seems like a law Fuji would rather like ^^

Fuji as a novelist... can definitely see it happening. I'd love to read his novels. But he must frustrate Tezuka a lot in order to make Tezuka take action.

Good luck with your own novel ^^

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Hahah, indeed ^________^

Yeah, I'd love to read his novels too! I wonder what would he write XD

thank you for reading, and thanks! I'm done with mine now :D

[invidia92.livejournal.com]

They would probably be very strange tales.

I saw that when I read the other one ^^ But good luck with the next one and the one after that and so on...

[kazeyukiryusama.livejournal.com]

lol

That's so damn funny.. A jealous Tezuka is always a sight to beholds, especially when his rival was Fuji's occupation , lol
Well, it taught Tezuka to never ignore Fuji, huh? Coz maybe Fuji will ignore Tezuka for his deadline....XD XD

[a1y-puff.livejournal.com]

Jealous Tezuka is a-dork-able. Mwahahaha XD. He needs to try his best every once in a while to beat Fuji's job :p

[kazeyukiryusama.livejournal.com]

Tsk..tsk... a message to Tezuka "Don't let your guard down.. Or else, Fuji's deadline will beat you...mwahahahaha"

[sano-fujitezu.livejournal.com]

Forward!Tezuka! I love it.
