Summary: Tezuka's a good Tezuka and went to check up on Momo and make sure he was doing all right after the events of the previous night. This is when I stop spamming the community, and finally go eat after eight hours of no eating.
Tezuka: *wakes around 6:30... much later than normal, but last night was... something. He pats around for his glasses and gets a good look at Ryoma beside him - he's still out-cold, but he looks better than he did last night. Careful to not wake him, Tezuka slips out of the bed and out the door, heading to Momo's door hoping Momo will be awake. He knocks on the door* Momoshiro?
Momo: *has been awake for about half an hour, or so, but is still flopped on his bed, on top of the covers, and watching outside his window. When he hears the knock on the door, and the voice that follows, he knows immediately who it is, and sits up properly, rubbing his eyes - he probably looks horrible* You can come in.
Tezuka: *enters, knowing his hair is even more messy than normal and that it's obvious he literally just rolled out of bed* Did I wake you? *closes the door in his wake*
Momo: *shakes his head* I've been 'wake for 'bout half an hour. It's alright.
Tezuka: *goes to the bed and sits on the edge, pushing his glasses back up so they sit properly on his nose* Could you sleep?
Momo: *shrugs a bit* As well as I could've, I 'spose. Would've been nice to sleep in a bit, but... wasn't gonna happen.
Tezuka: *nods, understanding perfectly - he has been there... recently, even* I will not keep you long, but... I wished to tell you that I have confidence in you, Momoshiro. I have trusted you with things that are important to me more than once, and you have never let me down.
Momo: *nods, feeling a bit like he might cry again, but just swallows the lump in his throat, and smiles* Thank you. It's nice to hear that.
Tezuka: You are a good friend. *folds his hands in his lap* So, it is I who should be thanking you.
Momo: *looks down* It didn't feel right - I mean, it did, but... it just wasn't going to work. It wasn't the right thing to do.
Tezuka: *shakes his head* Back around the same time we met, I had a crush... hm... no, I was in love with Oishi.
Momo: *looks up at that, honestly not too surprised, but... he never would've thought it would be something said out loud* Was that... sorta the same thing as this?
Tezuka: ...Well, I kissed him. He told me he loved me - but at the time, he also was in love with Kikumaru. *crosses one leg over the other* So, I did what was right and never acted upon my feelings.
Momo: *listens, and nods - again, he wasn't overly surprised* And things were alright in the end.
Tezuka: Of course. Oishi has been the greatest friend any one person could ask for.
Momo: *nods* Ryoma's the best friend I've ever had.
Tezuka: ...The same happened with Sengoku. *looks out the window* I wonder if it is not that... you come to crave someone who knows your mind and emotions so intimately that you are drawn to them.
Momo: I... think that is part of it. *follows Tezuka's gaze out the window, wiping the back of his hand across his eyes*
Tezuka: ...I want you to understand this changes nothing about your relationship with him. He loves you unconditionally. *smiles a bit* I could not - and do not - want to compete with that. Your spot in his heart is yours alone.
Momo: *nods* I know - I'll never forget that. *thinks back to the previous night, and feels his throat tighten up again, but simply tells him to relax and that it won't be any good to get worked up again - he really does feel better knowing that they've done the right thing*
Tezuka: It is important to me that you remember this when he comes to check on you. I wish to trust you with this because I have confidence that you will first and foremost be the friend he needs right now.
Momo: I will. *already made his mind up about that before he fell asleep, last night - that he would not let himself shy away for any reason, whatsoever, because he knows Ryoma needs him just as much as he needs Ryoma* I promise. This isn't going to change our friendship. Means too much for me. *gives a bit of a shaky smile* I'll be okay after just taking this day to relax. I was expecting it in the first place, and kinda... showed Ryoma that. I was well prepared, even if Ryoma didn't realize it at the time.
Tezuka: *stands* These things take time. He knows that. *holds out his right hand to offer a handshake* You are a good man, Momoshiro. I hope to one day live up to the man you are.
Momo: *takes Tezuka's hand in a firm handshake, smiling* Thank you - that... that really means a lot to me. *stands up, as well - he feels his heart swell with pride to hear that coming from a person he very, very deeply respects* I don't have to tell you, but I trust you'll take good care of him.
Tezuka: *nods* I will. *gives a warm smile* I am sorry I am not as good at this sort of thing as Oishi would be.
Momo: You're doin' just fine, Tezuka. *lets Tezuka's hand go, but continues to stay standing* Thank you for comin' - I appreciate it.
Tezuka: Of course. Rest more, if you are able. *goes back to the door* I am going to check that Ryoma is still sleeping. I get the feeling I am... going to be forced to delay practice a bit.
Momo: *nods* I'll try before gettin' some breakfast. *laughs a bit* He won't ever change. Let him sleep and then give extra laps for sleepin' in - just watch his face. *smiles warmly*
Tezuka: *considers that* You may be on to something, Momoshiro. *amusement plays across his face as he opens the door* Thank you.
Momo: *moves over to the door, nodding, and giving a wink* Anytime, Buchou. Thank you, again.
Tezuka: *nods, and excuses himself, heading back to his own room*
Momo: *closes the door, and purposely leaving the blinds still open, passes his eyes over Ryoma's bed before slipping back under the covers of his own, closing his eyes against the light, and hoping that he'll be able to sleep a bit more. Tezuka did make him feel a lot better, and he finds himself drifting quite quickly, after all*
