1. They first met when they were six. Yagyuu was taking tennis lessons at a country club, and Oshitari was there for Atobe's birthday party. Oshitari's mom held his hand as they walked by the courts where Yagyuu was playing. Oshitari thought the game looked like fun - it started his career in tennis - but he doesn't realize that it was Yagyuu.

2. They started dating in high school, when Yukimura and Atobe decided it'd be good for the two top teams in the nation to train together for a bit. Oshitari and Yagyuu had the rally of the century. Fatigue and respect came hand in hand after the first game, two hours after they'd started, and they still haven't finished the match. Eventually, Oshitari had gotten their captains to set them up on a date.

3. Niou and Kirihara teamed up with Mukahi and Jirou to spy on their first date. Oshitari noticed them within the first few minutes of sitting down in the coffee shop, and subtly let Yagyuu know. They had quite a bit of fun leading the four to a gay porn shop, followed by a hotel. They actually just sat in the room and chatted for an hour, but the other four went home that night unable to shake off the shock.

4. Yanagi and Shishido made bets on how long it would take for Yagyuu and Oshitari to kill each other. Shishido thought one month, Yanagi gave it two weeks. They both agreed that their personalities were too scary for normal people to handle, even scarier than Sanada.

5. Oshitari stopped wearing his fake glasses on their first anniversary. He still occasionally wears them for fun, but they're just not important anymore.

6. Yagyuu doesn't think he should tell Oshitari this, but when Oshitari is uncertain and caught off guard, there's a sparkle in his eyes and the bridge of his nose turns ever so mildly redder. If Oshitari's expected to answer, his lips part just a tantalizing amount, which makes Yagyuu really want to kiss him. He loves that he's the only person who has this effect on Oshitari.

7. Oshitari once made Yagyuu watch Gone With the Wind with him. Yagyuu fell asleep about an hour into it. Oshitari liked the feeling of Yagyuu's head resting on his shoulder, body warm next to him. It made Yagyuu seem more real and fragile - he was typically so gentlemanly it was sometimes cold.

8. At Nationals their senior year of high school, Atobe and Yukimura actually discussed their lineups before going into the game. Neither side wanted to risk putting Oshitari against Yagyuu - it would be too much of a wildcard, and they were both too valuable players to risk.

9. Yagyuu thinks there are a lot of similarities between Oshitari and Niou, and doesn't understand why they can't seem to get along. Niou seems to be intent on perturbing Oshitari whenever they're together, and Oshitari seems to be intent on ignoring him. That's not to say Yagyuu doesn't get some bizarre enjoyment out of watching them though.

10. Oshitari keeps the photo album of their vacation to Hokkaido on his nightstand. It was three summers ago, but it was the first time they took a vacation with just the two of them.

11. Yagyuu has a picture from that vacation of the two of them together in his wallet. He's never shown it to anyone else though, and doesn't plan on showing it to anyone anytime soon.

12. Their first time playing doubles together for the same team in college was one of Oshitari's favorite games. The coach refused to believe that they had never played together before. He knew everything there was to know about Yagyuu's play style, and vice versa, and he liked it.

13. Yagyuu cares a lot about his family, especially his little sister. He was very relieved when she and Oshitari hit it off the second they met. She thinks he is the coolest thing since iced lemonade, and once asked Oshitari if he was going to be Yagyuu's wife. Their faces that time, as she looked hopefully at Oshitari and Oshitari stared at her, blushing and speechless, is one of Yagyuu's favorite memories.

14. Their first time was in a car. To be precise, it was in the backseat of one of Atobe's cars, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Oshitari had coerced his childhood friend into letting him borrow a car for the night, and they had drive out to a cliff overlooking the city, and Yagyuu had taken off his glasses and they just went with the flow.

15. They once spent an entire Sunday watching the six Star Wars movies one after another, just for kicks. It was awesome.

16. Yagyuu learned the hard way that playing strip poker with Oshitari was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea. Well, but the end results were pretty good though, so he wouldn't exactly say he'd never do it again.

17. Oshitari is glad Yagyuu doesn't live near him. He doesn't think he'd still be sane if he saw Yagyuu everyday. He does really like Skype with a mic and webcam though.

18. Yagyuu plans on asking Oshitari to move in with him tomorrow. He just has to figure out what manner of asking would make Oshitari squirm the most. It was practical though, since they had been going to the same college for two years now.

19. Oshitari is horribly, fearfully, madly, wonderfully in love with Yagyuu. He sometimes thinks he's going insane - then he realizes that he already is, and a smile will creep, unbidden, onto his face.

20. Yagyuu doesn't know what Oshitari's thinking when he randomly smiles like that, but it doesn't matter. Maybe one day, he'll ask - after all, they've still got a lot of days left together. He can't wait to experience them all with Oshitari next to him every step of the way.


Comments/critiques? (And yes, I do believe that Yagyuu and Oshitari are Star Wars nerds at heart. XD)
