Summary: Sometimes, we convince ourselves that we have already moved on from the past and its painfully sweet smiles and memories but then when we encounter something that reminds us of them, the efforts we have gone through to forget about everything shatters due to certain circumstances. Maybe on parties. Or a white tux.  Tezuka/Fuji, Perfect Pair.

WARNING: Out of character. Tacos and salsa supreme. Yaoi content. Read at your own risk.

Tezuka Kunimitsu is not a party person. Be it casual or formal. It just did not bring him any comfort, the lack of personal space, deceiving other people by talking to them...

At a tender age of 25, he is now renowned at the business world, known as the CEO of the Atobe Corporations, is not used to parties like this one. He's forced to attend this 'little' reunion that Atobe has planned.

Don't get him wrong. He's not closing his doors from his social life.

It's not open either.

He did not enter the ballroom. He just can't do it. Atobe invited everyone that he knew when they are still in middle school. That includes the whole Hyotei student body (not everybody attended though), Shitenhouji, Rikkai, and his old team - Seigaku.

He knew Oishi is a cardiologist. Kikumaru owns a pet shop. Inui is a biochemist. Kaidoh runs training gyms. Momoshiro is a PE teacher and the new coach of Seigaku Tennis Club. Taka-san has expanded their sushi business through Japan. Echizen pursued a professional career in tennis. Fuji is...

Well, he didn't know what Fuji has become.

It's been how long since they last met? Seven years after graduating from high school.

Sometimes he finds himself wondering where he is or simply, if he’s doing well. Just like now.

He has finally decided not to enter the hall. Instead, he found himself on the hotel's garden. He runs this place. He knows every single corner of the building. Being the CEO and all...

Well, he is contented on his stability right now. He's only 25. He's taking things slowly but surely. It may be considered that, the worst part of his job was waking up every day knowing that Atobe is his boss.

His success in life is beyond numbers. Who would've thought that the great Tezuka Kunimitsu is working for Ore-sama himself, Atobe Keigo?

No one saw that coming.

He was lost in his thoughts when he noticed another figure standing at the farther corner of the garden, back facing Tezuka and head tilted up staring at the full moon and thousands of stars above the endless night sky.

He was pretty certain he saw a girl.

But why would a girl wear a white tux?

He soon realized he was staring at the person longer than necessary. He shook his head to clear out his thoughts. What was he thinking? Just then, the person turned around.

Tezuka gasped inwardly.

Why would a girl wear a tux?

Because the person is a not a girl to begin with.
