He had talked to Inui already, who had been only to happy to help. Now he
stood, dark tan hair swaying softly in the light breeze and one hand
clutching a water bottle, beside Oishi, watching the end of a practice game
between Tezuka and Eiji with his usual smile.
The game ended with the expected results and Eiji came trotting wearily over to them, accepting a towel from Oishi with a smile and 'sankyuu'. The acrobatics specialist used it to wipe the sweat off his brow, complaining that Tezuka was just too good and he would rather play doubles with Oishi (Oishi smiled at that).
He turned to Fuji and saw the water bottle in his hand. "Wah, Fuji, can I have some water? Please nya?" he begged, looking at the smiling boy with pleading eyes.
Fuji shook his head, still smiling, and said quietly, "Just wait." Then his smile grew even wider and the Golden Pair turned around to see Tezuka approaching.
"That was a good game you played, Tezuka," Fuji extended the hand with the water bottle out to him, "Here," he offered in his calm voice.
Tezuka accepted it silently, raising it up to his lips and closing his eyes as he took a drink. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open and the bottle fell from his hand. He turned his eyes to Fuji and glared, and if looks could kill, Fuji would have exploded on the spot. The tennis captain then merely said, in a monotone voice, "100 laps, now," before turning and stalking out of the courts at a quick pace.
Back on the courts, Eiji and Oishi looked at Fuji in confusion as the prodigy raised a hand up to his mouth and laughed softly.
Off to the side, Inui wrote quickly into a notebook, mumbling to himself. "Subject: Tezuka Kunimitsu. Formula: 'Super Special Deluxe Inui Juice Mix version 4.1'. Proceeds to water immediately. Success. Conclude..."
