A/N: Definitely not my regular cup of tea. I can deal with Data Pair on the side, but it's not normally my focus. Still, they are so similarly characterized (save for mayhaps Inui's creepy juice tendencies) that I feel like I'm writing a schizophrenic narcissist. As a note, I have no clue whose perspective is it in #4. It just came to me and I can't figure out who it is since it works for both. Enjoy, and review! -iirse

Data "Firsts"
ONE. First Makeup
"No, Sadaharu, that palette isn't going to solve our problems." Renji flatly stated.
His Seigakiu counterpart merely evil-smiled, raising it like he would a glass of his feared juice. "But it worked so well when we were children, Renji. Remember our contest on who could more accurately discover what the other hated, where the loser had to do the very thing he hates? As I recall, you lost, and hated stage makeup."
"We destroyed our mothers' sets in an attempt to disfigure one another." Renji deadpanned. "And I got over the loss, because to my child's mind, it was fun, I know. But the probability of that working today is 1 in a billion."
"Ah, so you admit a possibility." Light reflected off Inui's glasses dangerously…
TWO. First Date
It is difficult to say when exactly they 'began' but Renji would put it on the day Sadaharu visited Rikkaidai. His far more attuned ears had picked up Akaya's barely audible question to Yukimura. "Buchou, is Yanagi-senpai on a date?"
He is thankful he was out of earshot by the time Seiichi answered, though.
THREE. First Scheme
They were out.
"You do know we're being followed?" Renji inquired.
Sadaharu gave a miniscule nod. "Probability 99.98%. Rikkaidai is here too, you know."
"As expected." Renji returned. "Chances of you suggesting to freak them out… 98.793%."
"Likelihood of you agreeing… 99.476%"
In unison they finished. "Chances of success 100%."
FOUR. First Laughter
Their entire relationship was built on facts and analysis, and coolly clinical details such that when he really thought about it, he couldn't remember a completely carefree laugh from his boyfriend in years. The despair he felt then, his analytical mind processed, was enough to send him reeling.
FIVE. First Vacation
Renji studying abroad after high school was the first 'break' in their relationship since they made up from their childhood fallout. Sadaharu would have once said the space it afforded him was amazing, but he found that he couldn't wait for this 'vacation' to end, and Renji to get back.
