- SWEETEN -
Tezuka had always preferred his tea bitter. It started when he was in the fifth year of grade school, he noticed that whenever the family had afternoon tea, both of his grandfather and his father had their tea without sugar, while his Mother had always put two blocks of sugar into his tea, just like how she did to her own. Little Tezuka had asked his father then, of why did father’s and grandfather’s tea had no sugar, and his father replied laughingly while ruffling his hair that it was because they were real men.
Right after that, Little Tezuka had told his mother firmly that he too, wanted his tea bitter. His mother had laughed at him that time, but she obliged anyway.
As he grew up, Tezuka had understood that bitter tea was merely a preference of his father and grandfather, and had little to do with being a real man. Even so, Tezuka kept his preference of bitter tea if only because he had gotten used to it.
When he was seventeen, Tezuka got his first kiss from someone he had never thought he would ever kiss.
It was just another day in a cold February, three days after Valentine’s Day when Tezuka spent another quiet lunch with Fuji in the rooftop of the school building. Tezuka ask his companion why he had chocolate as his lunch, and Fuji replied with a laugh that he still got plenty of chocolates from Valentine’s Day, and he thought he needed to eat them all soon because his mother had complained that the chocolates cramped up the fridge and she couldn’t stock up her groceries.
Tezuka gave no further comment, and proceeded to sip his bottled tea that he brought from home. Then, he noticed that there were some chocolate crumbles on the left side of Fuji’s lips, and absently reached out a hand to wipe them with a finger.
When Fuji’s eyes widened in surprise did Tezuka realize what he had done, and hurriedly pulled his hand back while muttering an awkward apology.
For a few seconds, neither of them said anything. Tezuka went back to sipping his tea, and he could hear the crunchy sounds Fuji was making as he bit his chocolate. Then, a hand cupped Tezuka’s cheek and turned his face around so that he was facing his companion. Tezuka saw Fuji smiling, and before he knew it, a pair of lips landed on his.
For a moment, Tezuka felt his mind blank as his eyes widened slightly in shock. When the surprise passed, though, it somehow felt as if it was only natural that he kissed Fuji back.
The taste of that kiss was a mix of bitter tea and sweet chocolate.
That night, Tezuka stared at his tea, and when no one was looking, he tried adding a little sugar into it, and stirred. When he sipped his sweeten tea, he was somehow reminded of the kiss with Fuji, and a microscopic smile crept up his face.
From that day onwards, Tezuka preferred his tea with a little sugar.
