Prince of Tennis: Match! Tennis Juniors (2019) Season 1, Episode 9

OTP meme: Pillar pair.

Tezuka leaves Fuji to pick up his pieces. 

Listen on 8tracks.

Tracklist:

1. Trouble I’m In - Twinbed

Fuji remembers that once upon a time, his presence was the only thing that brought Tezuka's lips to curl up the slightest bit. Nowadays he spends hours wishing he was the freshman that only had to utter a curt 'Buchou' before Tezuka's smile lit up the court.

2. Jealous - Josh Daniel 

Fuji sends Tezuka off to Germany with a smile on his face and a hope in his heart. He missed morning practice and first period but he figures he's missing something much more than that.

3. Will - Yuki Kajiura

Seigaku survives Nationals and the seniors finally retire for exams. It was in the middle of spring when Eiji sits next to him - placid for once, and asks, "What happened?" And oh God Fuji wishes he knew.

4. Goodnight Goodnight - Maroon 5

Graduation was fast approaching. Echizen gathers the team to announce that he'll be leaving Seigaku after that year. At the news, Fuji lets out a half-hearted chuckle. Echizen but stares at him and says, "I'll be going somewhere cold." Fuji walks away. He knew Echizen wouldn't be cold for long.

5. We Were In Love - Taku

Fuji tells himself he's been doing well. He continues to think so as he subconsciously winces at every mention of Echizen. He continues to believe so as he whips his head at every peripheral sighting of light brown hair.

6. In Heaven - JYJ

Fuji breaks a glass one day in high school when Yoshiko asks him in the middle of preparing breakfast how Tezuka-kun was doing. He spends the rest of the day skipping class and wandering the courts of his old middle school. He wonders where he went wrong.

7. Tears Of An Angel - RyanDan

It was February 29. Fuji climbs up the mountain where Oishi once brought the whole team to see the sunrise. He remembers how Momo had said that as long as the team was together, the sun would never fall from the sky. Fuji looks around the darkened horizon. Sunrise should have been five minutes ago. For his birthday, Fuji allows himself a few tears.

8. Religion - Lana del Rey

The red-head drops his phone after hearing the automated voicemail message voice for the nth time. He plops on the couch with uncharacteristic frown lines between his brows. Oishi shuts the door to their shared university apartment and settles next to Eiji. "He'll be alright," Oishi offers, wrapping an arm around his partner. Kikumaru looks up, obviously not the slightest bit convinced. They both knew there was very little truth to Oishi's words. No one had seen Fuji since high school graduation.

9. No Light No Light - Florence and the Machine

In Fuji's fifth year of disappearance, Kikumaru and Oishi receive a telltale envelope in their now habitable and refurbished apartment. They have come a long way since their dingy early college days, and it seems two of their old teammates have reached spectacular milestones too. 'Tezuka and Echizen Nuptials', the invite said. Attached to it is a note containing a favor from the fiancés. Kikumaru makes some calls only to be met by voicemail. With newfound determination, he speaks after the beep.

10. Happy Ending - MIKA
