Summary: Echizen Ryoma is sneaky. Remember that.
Disclaimer: Not mine. And all that jazz.

Fuji Syuusuke received love letters on a daily basis. One time someone left him a love letter in his lunch box. How the person managed to do it was never clear. Whenever one of his friends reminded him of that incident he would smile and say something along the lines of, "I think a very clever mouse spoke to the kitty and they collaborated." The conversation would be abandoned within seconds.

It also wasn't uncommon for him to be pulled aside by a random girl who would dramatically declare her undying love for him. He would usually smile and bow apologetically and then cheerfully suggest that she joins his group of minions instead.

But even Seigaku's tennis genius can be taken by surprise. To be honest, Fuji had been eyeing Echizen Ryoma for some time but a very stern Tezuka had practically barred him from approaching their youngest member. And an overly concerned Oishi had all but dropped down to his knees to beg Fuji not to do anything that would psychologically scar their "baby".

Echizen Ryoma was anything but tactful, so when he finally decided to confess to Fuji, it sounded more like a suggestion to go out and eat burgers rather than a love confession.

It really didn't help that they were on their way to the tennis courts and had actually been talking about new players that have begun to emerge in the tennis scene.

So when Fuji heard "Fuji-senpai, I like you." interjected into a debate on whether or not the new players that Rokkaku had was a threat, it was as if Echizen's twist serve had knocked him in the face. And then the confession was followed by a tennis match that lasted more than an hour and life went on.

Until a week later, when Echizen declared that they should go to the movies for their first date before taking a big bite out of his hamburger.

It wasn't long before a month went by and Fuji realized that he had gone on fourteen dates with Echizen Ryoma. And it wasn't long after that Fuji realized that he was actually dating Echizen Ryoma.

Fuji should have been used to surprises by this time, but when he found himself staring at his ceiling with a naked and sweaty Ryoma in his arms, he had to pinch himself, just to make sure that he wasn't dreaming.

He wasn't surprised with a lot of things anymore because he had long since realized that the man that he was dating was an anomaly. And expecting the unexpected became yet another talent of his.
