Originally I planned for it to be longer, but then I got lazy and decided to do a drabble. Wanna-be dominant, jealous Ryoma and submissive, clueless Yukimura seems like a fun deal to me.
Summary: In nearly all aspects, Yukimura's U-17 camp stats triumphed over Echizen by a score of 0.5. Damn 0.5. (Subtle SanaYukiRyo)

Zero Point Five
Ryoma hated to lose.
He really, really hated it. He didn't feel so indignant when he lost to Tezuka-buchou the previous time – he was his captain after all.
But Yukimura, Ryoma glanced at the blue-haired elder boy conversing with the 'Emperor' through cat-like slits, Ryoma didn't want to lose to him.
Ryoma couldn't quite pinpoint the reason behind his irrational animosity towards Yukimura either – then again, Ryoma thought with some mock humor, he did admit that it was irrational – or perhaps it was because he was the 'Child of God', previously the holder of an untarnished perfect record which even he, Echizen Ryoma had never achieved.
… But what was this? Ryoma's auburn-coloured eyes narrowed when Yukimura pat Sanada on the back, the two shared a brief, knowing look which Ryoma didn't like… that look which seems to suggest that they only had eyes for each other and nobody can go between them.
Then it all clicked to Ryoma, like a wind had blown away the mist obstructing his view, like a microscope which had finally found the right focus. The reason behind his desire to rise above Yukimura, to lord over him, to dominate him…
Perhaps, Ryoma thought wryly, it never really had to do with the 0.5 after all.
