Tezuka's s/o at the airport bidding him goodbye because he has to get his arm fixed... again
Ohno… Why are you doing this to me? I had to cry when Tezuka had toleave in the anime. -.-’ Somehow this turned out really long…sorry? oO
Tezuka:
Youfelt like you couldn’t breath. Sure you were sucking in air likeevery other day but the relieved feeling usually accompanied with itdidn’t come.
Youstood next to Tezuka, people rushing around next to you but it feltlike it were just him and you. You wondered how Tezuka could stilllook so confident, so strong while you felt as if your world wasbreaking apart. He would be gone…again.
Youfelt a big callous hand slipping into yours, ripping you out of yourthoughts with a gentle squeeze. You didn’t feel ready to say goodbye.Not at all and you would probably never feel ready but theannouncement blaring through the airport told you that you had noother choice but to be ready. Ready to let him go…again. 10 minutesleft.
Tezukahurt his arm again. It was an important match but a hard one as well.You knew that Tezuka would never give up a game. He wanted to leadhis team to victory and that’s what he did but not without paying aprice. The toll on his arm was to big. It wasn’t as bad as last timebut he still had to go back to Germany to be able to follow hisdream.
Youknew that there weren’t any other options and you would never tellTezuka not to go. You wanted his arm to get fixed just as much as hewanted it. You loved watching him play and you knew it made himhappy. You wanted him to go to Germany but that didn’t make iteasier. He was your boyfriend, you was by his side the first time hehad to get his arm fixed and you would stay by his side this time aswell but you would miss him…so much.
“(Name)?”Tezuka’s voice sounded soft. You looked up, lockingyour eyes with his, seeing the strong determination in them “I’llcome back.” You sighed, intuitively gripping his hand tighter,seeking the comfort you always found in the simplest touch from him“I know…but I’m going to miss you…so much.” A small, almostinvisible smile grazed his face “I know. I’m going to miss you aswell. Take care of yourself and don’t let your guard down butremember whenever you need me you can call me. Don’t hesitate to doit because I’m always going to be here for you.”
Yousmiled at his words. Another announcement informed you that Tezukahad to leave for his flight. You cast your eyes down, preparingyourself for the inevitableparting.Tezuka placed a gentle hand on your head and you wrapped your armsaround his torso. Tezuka pulled you closer, stroking your hair. Youbreathed in his familiar scent, trying to savor it. Still holding youclose Tezuka mumbled in your ear “I’m sorry that I have to go…”You quickly interrupted him, cuddling closer to his body “Don’t besorry. I want you to go. I don’t want to be apart but it’s for yourdream and your dream is mine as well.” Tezuka’s lips found yours.The kiss was soft, gentle and you could feel his love in it and thepromise to come back to you.
Afterbreaking apart you smiled at him, when he had to go he should atleast remember you with a smile on your face. You handed him a smallgift, neatly wrapped and stood on your tiptoes to gently ruffle hishair “Do your best and remember to write and call me. I’ll bewaiting for you to come back.” Usually he scolded you for doing itbut this day he just smiled. Tezuka pressed a quick peck on yourcheeks and whispered “Goodbye (Name). I love you.”
“Ilove you, Tezuka-kun.” You laced your fingers with his for the lasttime before he picked up his suitcase and you watched his strong backwhen he left, his steps full of confidence giving you the hope youneeded. A single tear slid down your cheek, you promised yourself tostay strong. You would see him again, he loves you and that’s allthat mattered to you.
MeanwhileTezuka sat in the plane and squeezed his eyes shut trying to imprintthe feeling of your touch and the sound of your voice in his memory.The plane took off and Tezuka carefully unwrapped the present yougave him before he left. His eyes widened when he pulled out apicture in a simple but beautiful frame. The picture showed you witha bright smile standing next to Tezuka still with his racket in hishand and the rest of his team in the background celebrating theirvictory.
Hewould come back to you, as soon as possible so he could have youstand next to him with a bright smile again…
