A/N: Another weird pairing thingy. One for which my best friend would kill me for 'cuz she loves Fuji Syuusuke =.= I'm not veryyyy comfy with this pairing either so it's more of trying out new stuff like awkward pairings :D lemme know what you think! -iirse

Smiling "Firsts"
ONE. First Match
Everyone said their first match was spectacular, enthralling. But they never said the same. Fuji would say it was serene, smiling to himself. 'Electric' was Yukimura's only comment. The adjectives didn't make sense but neither ever bothered to correct the misconception. They were speaking not of tennis matches but something else: Their match prior to the actual tennis match. Across the net, serene amethyst against electric sapphire; amid a din of cheering they heard nothing, saw nothing, but the other. Matching smile against smile, stare against stare. The thrill of the later game was nothing compared to that first match
TWO. First Gift
Yukimura was at a loss. Syuusuke had been randomly treating him It was a sweet gesture but the guilt had built up nonetheless.
The crux of the matter lay in what to get in return.
Tennis was so impersonal. Food stuck, insincere.
A small item in an artful display caught his eye then. Yes, that would do very well…
Omake
"Saa, Seiichi, how did you know I collected these?" A cheery Fuji asked.
Yukimura just smiled knowingly. He'd never tell Syuusuke it was because the pretty yet dangerous cacti had reminded him of the tensai. As far as first gifts went, this one had been a decent choice.
THREE. First Jealousy
If there was one thing they learnt about one another, it was that they were both extremely possessive. It didn't help matters at all that Syuusuke was amazingly close to his captain and too many wondered if there was something more between Seiichi and his vice-captain.
FOUR. First Sight
Seeing each other during their first Nationals games was like finding a kindred spirit. Seiichi knew he needn't go all out to defeat the then-reigning Hyotei but to feel that burning cerulean gaze on him… It was worth all the rebukes of Nishiki-senpai and Renji's prodding.
FIVE. First Make Up
It amused both of them to no end, the relief on the faces of their friends and teammates when they finally "kissed and made up." Everyone was getting sick of being caught in the crossfire between the smiling sadists.
