It is said that a person will be influenced by his or her companionship. The regulars knew it all too well during the time when Tezuka was going out with Fuji.
Incident 1: Dinner
Everyone had to eat everyday and there was no ready meals during training. Everyone had to prepare dinner every night, and it was Tezuka's and Mizuki's turn that day. Everyone knew that Mizuki was a perfectionist, even a simple task like choosing a bean would take him a whole day to accomplish it. Moreover, Atobe wanted to have soup that day, so Mizuki was even busier preparing it for Atobe.
Not long after, Tezuka came out, holding a pot.
"Eh? The soup's ready?" The Hyoutei regulars didn't wait for Tezuka to reply and took the pot away from him before sharing among themsleves.
"Wa-wait…...this..." It seemed as if Tezuka didn't want them to drink the soup..
"Don't worry, Tezuka. We'll leave some for you." Atobe assured him.
"No…this" "Tezuka, I need some help here." Mizuki called from the kitchen.
"Coming." Tezuka return to the kitchen. The Hyoutei regulars started drinking their soup, and it seemed delicious.
"The soup is ready." Mizuki came out, holding a pot of soup.
"Huh? Aren't we drinking it?" Those Hyoutei regulars are confused. "Then what is this?"
"It's the water I used to scrub pots." Tezuka replied, face as emotionless as ever. "Oh, and who had eaten the rag, remember to return it to me."
Those who felt sick had rushed to the toilet and those who fainted, fainted. The rest, they were glaring at Fuji who was smiling towards the sky.
Incident 2: Ponta
Everyone knew that Echizen love to drink ponta. One day, Echizen was drinking ponta as usual.
"Echizen, drinking ponta is bad for your health." Tezuka served.
"It's alright" Echizen return the serve easily.
"I had a friend who died because of drinking ponta." Tezuka return the ball to Echizen.
"Um...ah?" Echizen missed. "Really?"
"What's in it for me to lie to you?" Tezuka said with his frozen poker face.
"How...did he died?" Echizen wanted to know.
"He was knocked down by a car while buying ponta." There was no remorse in his voice
"...buchou...you..."
Echizen looked at Tezuka and the smiling Fuji oustside the court with resignation.
