Pairing: TezukaFuji – everyone should know that this is all the shounen ai that I can write
Warnings: Spoilers – I'm going to use anime canon
Disclaimer: Tezuka isn't mine. He's Fuji's property. Fuji isn't mine. He's Tezuka's one and only.
A/N: I'm back! This is rather short and geeky, though… Argh. I might not be able to finish this by Tezuka's birthday, I'm planning to write a new oneshot so I can give Tezuka a completed fic on his birthday, but this remains to be my birthday gift to Tezuka.

c. force. 1. n. the exertion of physical strength // mental or moral strength, esp. in the overcoming of opposition// (phys.) any influence or agency that produces a change in the velocity of an inelastic object, whether it be in speed or direction. Force is defined in classical physics as the product of the mass of an object and its acceleration, or in a system where mass is not conserved as the time rate of change of momentum. 2.v. to compel by physical or moral strength// to cause to open by physical strength (F. force, forcer)

Fuji stares through the library window, imagining cute little cherubs throwing buckets upon buckets of water down to the earth, all in haste to make the heavy rain. He supports his chin with his arm and continues watching the water drip against the glass. "Tezuka, what is a force?" Fuji asks, almost out of the blue.
"Read your book," Tezuka says curtly.
"The book's uninteresting," Fuji responds. All the while, he doesn't take his eyes away from the window.
Tezuka doesn't point out that their reason for staying at the library is to read a book and study. Instead, he says, "A force, in layman's terms, is a push or a pull. Classical physics defines it as the vector product of an object's mass and its acceleration."
"What are the kinds of forces, Tezuka?" Fuji inquires further.
"Contact force, frictional force, normal force, force of gravity – "
"Electric force?"
"Yes, that too," answers Tezuka matter-of-factly. He turns to Fuji, wearing an inquiring frown on his face. "Our teacher hasn't discussed that yet. Did your teacher discuss it?"
"No," Fuji replies uncaringly. "But what do you know of electric forces, Tezuka?"
"Electric force is essentially the product of two charges divided by the square of the dist – "
"The point charges follow the rule of forces between charged bodies, right, Tezuka?"
"Ahh. The rule says that like charges repel and opposite charges attract," Tezuka answers knowledgeably.
"Do you believe in it, Tezuka?"
Tezuka blinks for a while."Yes," he goes. "It is a principle of Physics," he adds for an explanation.
Fuji's smile broadens and he cranes his neck to see Tezuka. When Tezuka asks why Fuji bothers, Fuji says that these things would be needed for high school entrance exams. Tezuka stays silent. He is, of course, aware that it is still just April and the exams wouldn't be given until the end of the year.

A/N: shh. This isn't just a pointless physics tirade. Just follow Fuji's train of thought and you'll see… And, yeah, this will be the end of the geek talk. Please R&R! Your reviews keep me alive and that's saying a lot since I'm quite dead right now. Yes, I'm a wee fluttering soul.
