I learned from the best
Chapter 3: The showdown
Fuji hesitated, where he stood in front of the door. The tensai had never ran away from a challenge before and he wouldn't start now either. The boy knocked on the door, placing the protective smile on his face.
At practice Fuji had been safe, knowing Tezuka would never lay a finger on him in public, but to be locked inside a house for a full weekend with him…worst of all in Tezuka's house.
The door was opened and one tall captain appeared.
"Hello, Tezuka." Fuji greeted and showed him a bright smile.
"You came." the short reply was and the taller boy stepped aside, allowing Fuji to enter.
"That was the deal, right?!" Fuji then answered and took out of his tennis bag a racket.
"The court is just outside." Tezuka said showing Fuji the way.
"Eh? I didn't know you had your own tennis court." the tensai smiled, not receiving a reply. "That's just like Tezuka, it's always about tennis, ne?"
"Ah." Tezuka then said and opened the door leading to the backyard.
Fuji let his gaze roam over the place. Sure he had been to Tezuka's place more than once, but he had never seen this part of garden before.
As Fuji was about to walk out through the door, Tezuka laid an arm in front of him, almost making the smaller boy crash into it. The tensai's closed eyes made their way from the arm to the other one's face in an confused expression.
"I'm gonna play seriously." the deep voice said, earning Fuji to break into a smile again.
"Ah, so am I." Fuji replied and Tezuka let his hand fall back to his side. "It'll be interesting to see how well you'll be able to pull my role off though." he then added and trailed off towards the court.
It was not as big a court as the normal ones, but it was still quite large. The tensai saw Tezuka shoot an unreadable gaze his way before stopping by the net.

Fuji sat down in the doorway panting. He had given his all and the match was, as he had expected all along, won by his captain. Tezuka came from inside the house holding two big glasses of water and Fuji accepted one of them thankfully.
"Not bad." Fuji was surprised the taller guy had broken the silence.
"Nah, it was a complete loss." the tensai then replied, getting up. Eyes opened as he watched the captain in front of him. "So I guess this is the part where you play me."
"Ah."
Fuji never broke the eye-contact. "Can I take a shower?"
The tensai followed Tezuka up the stairs to the shower. Fuji left his bag in the captain's room and took out some spare clothes.
Entering the bathroom, Fuji immediately locked the door behind him. He didn't want to be caught off guard. Fuji still found it unbelievable that Tezuka would give the time and plan a way to torture him, it was like the captain was two different persons nowadays.
Relaxing his body Fuji let the water drown his thoughts and the eyes closed once more. As he stepped out he was already feeling better, starting to search for a towel.
'That's strange.' Fuji thought, eyes opening. 'I could've swore I saw Tezuka bring a towel here when I went after my clothes…!!'
A realization hit the blue-eyed boy and he slowly straightened himself, where he stood naked on the floor. 'That bitch.' Fuji then thought, blue eyes narrowing down. He knew he had fallen into his own trap.
'It wasn't my towel he was caring it was his own.' Fuji heard footsteps come up the stairs, next to the bathroom. 'He knew I'd take that bait.' The footsteps went into Tezuka's room and Fuji guessed the taller boy was putting on some new clothes, after taking a shower in the bathroom downstairs.
Fuji looked around in the bathroom. Everything was perfectly clean and there was no extra clothes or towels or anything else he could've used hanging around somewhere. 'To think he actually planned this…'
"Fuji!" Tezuka's voice came from outside the door. "Are you getting ready?"
Fuji gritted his teeth together and fisted his hands so tight the knuckles turned white. He hated to feel how it felt like falling into his own trap.
"In a moment." Fuji decided to play along. He still had his clothes to put on, although he was wet and Tezuka would probably make him change them the minute he stepped out of the bathroom. "I just noticed I don't have a towel. Could you bring me one?" his sweet voice came, filled with poison.
"What are you talking about? There is a towel ready for you!" Fuji stiffened at this. Had he just made an honest mistake?
"I can't find one." Fuji then replied and Tezuka pulled the handle.
"Open the door." the ever so commanding voice came.
"Chotto." Fuji said, putting his shirt on. It was probably stupid to do as he was told, but he would have to come out sooner or later anyway.
A click and the door was opened. Tezuka shot Fuji a small glare before walking over to the small closet under the sink.
"Hm, it seems you really didn't have a towel, after all." Tezuka then said rising back up. Fuji's blue eyes glared at him for a while.
"Well, it's alright, I'll just get one from my bag." he then replied annoyed and trailed out of the bathroom.
Dumping the rest of the clothes on a chair, he bent down and pulled out a towel drying his wet hair. The sound of the door being shut in a hast made him jump in surprise and peek at the form standing only a couple of feet away from him.
Fuji really started to hate being kicked around and he removed the towel from his hair. One of the first rules in schemes and playing had been to never underestimate your opponent, and never let him corner you or chase you to the place he wanted you in.
Fuji's gaze floated around the room. 'Of course he didn't want it in the shower, not in the locker room, not in the classroom, but in his own bedroom.'
Tezuka slowly closed the space between them, Fuji not moving a muscle. As the taller boy was face to face with the tensai, all Fuji did was return the stare.
Tezuka grabbed the towel Fuji was holding and threw it away, hands then wrapping around the slender waist and head lowering to seal slightly parted lips. Fuji didn't resist, only hoping he wouldn't receive more bruises again from the strong hands wrapped around him.
A soft sigh in defeat escaped the smaller boy, as he surrendered his body to the other guy.
Tezuka's hands travelled to the front of the light green shirt and unbuttoned the buttons carefully one by one, revealing smooth skin that arched under his touch.
Fuji's hands hesitated at first, before then taking action as well and they slipped under the shirt of the tall captain, caressing his back. As if afraid to hurt the other boy, Fuji cautiously lifted the shirt and Tezuka helped him pull it over his head, since the smaller boy didn't reach there anyway.
Tezuka's lips found Fuji's again and he took a steady hold on the bare hips and pressed them against the fabric of his pants, causing Fuji to gasp and give the taller boy a chance to slip his tongue in to tease the other's.
In the tensai's opinion it was a nice change to have their tongues dancing against each other, instead of Tezuka trying to suck the life out of him. More and more, in an almost unconscious state of mind, Fuji started returning the pleasure given to him.
His finger tips ran up the spine of the captain and he parted his lips voluntarily everytime Tezuka started a new kiss. It was as if he was waiting for the taller boy to love him mouth to mouth all over again.
There was a small resistance from the tensai though, as Tezuka slowly made him walk backwards until he felt the edge of the bed against his leg. Fuji gave some silent moans in protest as he was laid down on the bed, but the smaller boy didn't do anything to get away from this highly awkward situation.
Tezuka lost his slippers he had been walking around with, before climbing on top of the boy spread on his bed. He gave an almost unnoticeable smile at the sight in front of him. This was what he had been craving for during almost the whole time in Seigaku, especially much this last year.
It was amazing that as he bent down to tease the sensitive neck, the hands of the person who had teased him almost to death were now caressing him innocently and grabbing his hair in excitement.
Sounds of pure pleasure were starting to flow more frequently now from the smaller boy and Fuji's lips shyly planted kisses on the captain's arms that incircled around the tensai's upper body.
"Fuji." the taller boy's voice came almost as in a question.
"Mmm?" Fuji's slightly content one then asked. Tezuka gave a low groan, catching both of Fuji's hands above the other boy's head, holding them down.
"How does it feel…" the captain said as he let one hand travel down Fuji's chest towards the only area still not touched other than through the limited amount of clothes they wore. Fuji gave a loud groan. "…to taste your own medicine?"
The hand stopped at the smaller boy's belly. Fuji opened lustful eyes and stared into Tezuka's. There was immediately something on his captain's face that made Fuji become serious. Exactly what had Tezuka meant by that last line?
Tezuka's brown eyes only narrowed in the same way they did when he smirked, just that the smirk itself was missing.
Suddenly Fuji felt his hands being released and saw the taller boy stand up in front of him. Fuji sat halfway up, supporting his body with his arms. He didn't have a good feeling about this at all.
"Tezuka?" All the tensai saw was glinting glasses, the beautiful brown eyes totally hidden behind them.
"I felt that it was time I took the responsibility over my team mates." Tezuka then finally said and Fuji's eyes widened, not sure if he wanted to hear the rest. "And you were a troublemaker from day one."
Fuji looked at the tall captain, not believing what was happening. Just a moment ago they had lied happily in the arms of one another and now…
"I decided it was time for me to take action, as the captain." Tezuka then added. "I knew there was only one way of getting you off your game. And it was through this. I'm sorry, Fuji, I had no choice."
Fuji let his eyes close, hiding away the emotions going through them right now.
"So all of this…-"
"Hai. I did it to get what I wanted."
"Revenge." Fuji mumbled.
"Only for starters." Tezuka then replied almost in a very inappropriate joke, also weird coming from him.
Fuji fell silent and Tezuka turned his back against him, looking like he was about to walk out of the room. Squinted eyes watched the broad back. This had definitely not turned out anything like Fuji had expected, a sudden spirit of his player-me filling him up.
"So I should probably leave?"
"Hai."
"It's just that I can't do that. My family thinks I'm going to spend the whole weekend here with you. It would be rude of you to kick me out and make me try to explain that to them." Blue eyes opened as Tezuka glared over his shoulder at the boy laying on his bed.
That was unpredicted, but then again so was Fuji. Tezuka knew better than to let the tensai stay, but didn't Fuji make a point somewhere there?!
