A/N: If writing Thrill the last chappie was difficult without tipping into OOC, this was even worse. I have no clue where I got the genius idea to go with the less common pairing of Atobe and Fuji, seriously. It's just weird. Atobe and Oshitari together make sense. This doesn't. It'll probably come out all wrong in terms of characterization but blah, I'll just put it up and let people tell me I'm an idiot. -iirse
Warnings: Definite slash, though not explicit. If you don't like it, don't read it.

aToFu "Firsts"
ONE. First Choice/Decision
The two would always argue whose plan it was to get the other. Typically, Syuusuke would let Keigo bask in the knowledge that it was the diva that made the initial play in public. But behind the doors, both knew that even if Keigo had made the decision to fall, it had been the tensai's manipulative wiles that tempted and then ensnared him. Not that Keigo was complaining – it was the best decision he'd ever made, albeit an inevitable one.
TWO. First Date
While Keigo had intended their first date to consist of him charming Syuusuke, it was obvious the blue-eyed tensai had other ideas, judging from the fact that they'd migrated from the expensive seaside restaurant to the beach itself and Syuusuke was more interested in snapping shots than listen to Keigo's "charming speech."
THREE. First Interlude
It was normal for a diva like Atobe to call time outs on his relationships – it usually was synonymous with "breakup."
It was unnatural when it was Syuusuke that called their time out – frustrated with the diva's ways – leading to a jumpy Keigo as he faced the first non-=self-imposed interlude and impasse in his relationship – ever.
FOUR. First Sense/Impression
Neither party was the kind to admit it, but they both knew somehow that the other was more than they appeared initially. It was as much the reason for and the bedrock of their relationship as the cause for its failure.
FIVE. First Scheme
"It's creepy, ne, Yuushi, that a tensai and diva created exactly the same plan for one another?" Mukahi's barely audible whisper to his doubles partner caused both Keigo and Syuusuke's smiles to turn feral even as they fought out their latest disagreement on the court.
