an AtoTez multipart :)

Disclaimer: Neither Atobe nor Tezuka are mine :/ I don't own the rest of PoT either!

On with the story.

Tezuka's first date at the age of sixteen resulted in a rather awkward situation.

Especially since he was unaware that it had been a date until he was home and received a phone call from Fuji later that evening.

The conversation proceeded as follows:

" Tezuka, did he pick you up? "

" Hn. "

" And did he pay for all the expenses? "

" Well, yes…" It was not like he could even afford Atobe's ridiculously extravagant (overpriced? ) idea of entertainment. Besides Atobe was the one who had requested his company in the first place, so in spite of his initial discomfort, he had thought it was okay.

" I suppose you had a good time? "

" Hn. " The food had been perfect. And they took lessons in horse riding at Atobe's private ranch ( not that the young heir seemed to need any lessons). Tezuka had enjoyed it. It was most certainly a pleasant experience.

" One last thing, Tezuka. Did he drop you home? "

" Why wouldn't he? " The stiff boy almost frowned. All these questions were confusing.

" Maa…Tezuka. I didn't know you were dating Atobe. "

" Did I not pick you up? "

"…" Tezuka just stood still and stared.

" And did I not pay for everything? " Atobe spoke coolly.

" Well, yes…"

" And you had a good time if Ore-sama remembers correctly, which I do, by the way. " the ( self crowned? ) king drawled with all the arrogance of the filthy rich and spoilt.

" Yes, but…" Tezuka started to speak.

" Did I say it was not a date? " Atobe continued as if the other boy had not spoken at all.

" No you didn't. " The stiffer boy admitted, " But…"

" It was a date, Tezuka. " Atobe rolled his eyes in an exaggerated gesture, face saying ' Even a two year old would know. ' or something like that.

" Well, I didn't know. " Tezuka spoke sharply.

" Be proud Ore-sama chose you for company. " Atobe carelessly dismissed the other's irritation, " Not everyone is so privileged. "

" I don't need it. " Tezuka calmly adjusted his glasses, " And just to be clear on matters, we are not going on anymore dates. " he nodded, signaling the end of the conversation.

" Do as you wish. " Atobe waved it off, seemingly uninterested in the bespectacled one's decision.

And Tezuka found himself wishing he had missed the fleeting dejection that settled on the proud boy's features for a fraction of a second before fluttering away.
