Another oneshot written by just Dark. I'm not sure where this came from, but whatever. It's probably weird.

This is suppose to compare the Tezuka-Oishi-Fuji-Eiji friendship. As in not yaoi, but I can't stop anyone from thinking that way. So to each their own.

And I don't own POT, no matter how much I wish I did...


Two first year middle school boys sat at the counter of the ice cream shop. One with red hair and a band aid across his face licked his chocolate ice cream cone with a bright smile while kicking his legs back and forth. The other was more dignified; he sat up straight and had a serious look on his face even while eating a vanilla ice cream cone, which he hadn't really wanted in the first place.

At first glance they seemed like opposite ends of a spectrum, which was true since they only had four things in common. That they both played tennis was the first. The second and third were two other first years on the team Oishi Syuichiroh and Fuji Syushuke, which both of the aforementioned boys were close two. The forth was that they both enjoyed history class.

The last was also how they ended up in an ice cream shop in a round about way. The red head, Kikumaru Eiji, had asked the brunette, Tezuka Kunimitsu, to help him study for a history test. He reluctantly, on the inside at least, agreed after finding out Oishi and Fuji were busy and wouldn't be able to help their friend. Then once they were done studying Kikumaru had all but drag Tezuka to the ice cream shop.

The future captain silently wondered why the acrobatic boy asked him to help study, because Kikumaru already knew most the answers. He then turned his attention to the other boy, who was chattering away with another customer.

Tezuka found the answer that he'd already known, 'He thrives off human contact.' Once the older boy Kikumaru had been talking to left, they stayed silent for a few minutes.

However, silence rarely lasted when the Kikumaru Eiji was around. "Tezuka."

"Hn."

"I think Fuji would like strawberry!"

Tezuka lifted his eyebrow by a fraction, but then nodded.

"And Oishi would like peanut butter! Nya!"

"Peanut butter?"

"Hoi!" The band aid clad boy said happily, apparently the ice cream was giving him a sugar rush. "You know what? Strawberry and vanilla is really good, so is strawberry and chocolate. But my favorite is chocolate and peanut butter! Though vanilla and peanut butter is good too. Nya."

If one Inui Sadaharu was around he would notice the brunette's frown lift 0.025 millimeters.

After a few seconds of pondering, Kikumaru spoke up again. "I wonder if strawberry and peanut butter would be good."

"It'd be unusual, but okay."

They lapsed back into silence while finishing their ice cream cones. However, as they were leaving the hyper redhead asked his teammate a question.

"What about chocolate and vanilla?!"

Tezuka thought about it for a minute before answering. "They balance each other out well." Kikumaru grinned happily as they parted ways.

Chocolate and vanilla might be one opposite ends of the ice cream spectrum, but they're both classics. Therefore they work well together by default.
