PRINCE OF TENNIS MARRIAGE PROSPECTS

( x )

note: I'm not going to put anything non-canon, meaning that everything will be left as is. Ryoma will not be dating Sakuno, nor will he be in love with any of the regulars, and the same goes for all the other characters. if you want a specific character, do tell me, and I promise I'll do it! and of course, I'd love your feedback because this is the first time I've written something so...well, like this.

disclaimer: the idea and layout is courtesy of SOYBEAN. the characters are courtesy of Takeshi Konomi and all other copyright owners. I seriously can't take credit for anything all in this fanfiction. (and if you think it's an awesome idea, make sure to tell soybean, except they haven't been on FFN in over 3 years...)

FUJI SYUUSUKE

Appearance: Medium-height, nice light-chocolate-colored hair that's layered and falls couple inches around his neck—in a shaggy sort of way, of course. His eyes are almost-always closed in a cheery-smile sort of way, but when they're open, you can see the beautiful crystal-blue color his eyes are. He's got an elegant aristocrat's nose and slightly-feminine features. A bishonen all the way through.

Clothing: Fuji doesn't really seem like the type to fuss continuously over clothing. He probably either lets his older sister choose it for him, or simply tosses on whatever's in sight. Of course, he's got the Seigaku tennis attire, but he doesn't take to wearing tennis outfits when not necessary. Knowing Fuji, if you marry him, he'll probably let you pick his clothing for him.

Intelligence: Throughout the entire series, Fuji is constantly referred to as a tensai, or genius. And he certainly displays the abilities that most people think geniuses have: he's able to calculate matches instantly and play tennis with his eyes closed. Not to mention he's normally never tired during a match, having the foresight to conserve energy so that he's not tired, even when the opponent is gasping and wheezing. While he seems to be the type to do amazingly well academically, you definitely won't be able to discuss the negative implications of initiating a state-wide tax on layman's paper with him.

Personality/Socializing: As geniuses are, Fuji is constantly smiling a rather enigmatic smile. He seems to smile under any circumstances, and without much of a normal reason, although his smiles widen whenever he's successfully pulled off a silly prank of sorts. He's also portrayed to be the rather sadistic sort of person. While he doesn't mind Inui's dreaded Juices, he would prefer to see other people suffer rather than drink them himself. He's the type of person to honestly tell you whether or not he likes you, and not really drag you around for a ride. This is seen where he goes on a "date" with grade-schooler Kurumi because she apparently thinks of him as a prince. Talk about opportunity.

Finances: While he's not Atobe, Fuji is certain to be able to make money one way or another. Although I can totally see him making his money in one underhanded way or another, but the point being is that he'll be more than willing to support the two of you.

Home Economics: A running gag in the series is Fuji's odd taste in food. While it's never said as to whether or not he can cook, one can assume that whatever he cooks will taste purposefully odd. In between wasabi rolls and Inui juice, it seems like the only type of "normal" food that he likes is the Fuji apple. You better learn how to cook if only for yourself if you plan on marrying him. Although if you are marrying him, you might as well learn how to cook (and eventually like) a couple of his foods as well. I recommend starting with Fuji apples.

Combat: Fuji has a rather willowy stature, so it'd probably be crazy to except him to go all badass all of a sudden. However, his glare in itself should be more than enough to ward off any wayward idiots that might wish harm on the two of you. And he's genius, after all, so he'll have some sadistic solution to them problem on way or another.

Competition: He's been said to be relatively popular, what with him being on the tennis club and having such nice features. A little girl named Karumi once went on a date with him, thinking that he was a prince of sorts. Of course, he helped her with her self-confidence issues (like the gentleman he is), but he obviously treats her like a younger sibling. Other than Karumi however (who might already be over her crush), there's no noticeable competition, seeing as how his fangirls (boys, things) don't make themselves as apparent.

Family: Fuji has a dad that's rarely home. So he'll pose no problem to your relationship. His mother is obviously caring, and if you don't seem like you're sincerely in love, she might have something to say. However, you are, so there's no problem there. He also has a decade-older sister named Yumiko who will probably be a strong supporter of your relationship. Look forward to going through a lot of baby albums with her. And then there's Yuuta, his younger brother. Make sure to not insult him in any manner, or compare him to his older brother in anyway—he'll get mad, and then Fuji will get mad, and you'll have a big mess on your hands. He might be slightly protective of his older brother if only because Fuji cares for him so much, but other than that little issue, Yuuta should have no problem with your marriage.

In Bed: For now, he doesn't seem like the kind of person to have sex. However, if in the mood, he'll definitely be the kind of gentle lover that eases you into the whole thing. It'll be absolutely amazing because both your first times won't be awkward at all and he'll be whispering words of encouragement and instinctively knowing where you'll feel the best. Just because he's a genius like that.

Conclusion: If you can put up with the fact that you're going to have to learn how to cook and you'll always be a little bit lost with his smiles, Fuji will be the perfect husband. There's practically no competition seeing as how his fans are considerate enough not to be rapidly drooling wherever he goes, and he'll be nice enough to give you a shot, see if he likes it, and then honestly tell you whether or not he likes you. You'll never be pointlessly led on, nor will you be bored, because he's not as actively tennis-obsessed as some people are.

in response to some Q&A: yes, I will do people outside of Seigaku, and the next person up will be Akutsu
