A/N: Not my favorite pair, but I particularly like the last one. I can so see Atobe unbending for once, and getting all worked up over it. Kei-chan wa kawaii! Sanada isn't a big favorite of mine so I'm not certain as to the in-character-ness of this set. Do review! -iirse

Tango "Firsts"

ONE. First Sense/Impression

Atobe's first impression of Sanada was an overly serious midget with a stick up his arse. Of course not in such succinct terms, as they were but 7, but in childish speech. If anyone had told him then that the midget would become taller than him, he'd have labeled it slander.

Sanada's impression of Atobe was no less flattering. He found him to be self-centered with an ego too big for his size. Not to mention an overly inflated head. If anyone had told him he'd come to see some humor in the situation, they'd have died as best as his childish hands count have managed.

TWO. First Laughter

"Atobe, did you just…"

"Laugh? Yes, ore-sama did."

The sight of his roommate's gaping goldfish face as Rikkaidai's prized Platinum pair proved just why they knew each other so well had been too much for the Ice King to bear. He finally cracked.

The fact that Sanada looked even more like a goldfish after that did not help matters one bit.

THREE. First Date

"Ore-sama hopes you have enjoyed our date." It was a statement, not a question, as expected from the narcissistic diva.

The Emperor sputtered. "What date? You merely asked if I would like to eat after that grueling match you coerced me into!"

FOUR. First Contact/Touch

Being the stoic personality that he was, Sanada would never voice it. Truth is, when he and Atobe carried out match formalities, the handshakes always unsettled him.

FIVE. First Parting

"Where are you going?" The cap-wearing teen's, almost adult's, tone could only be described as demanding.

The diva slammed his suitcase shut. "Away. It shouldn't matter to you. Ore-sama is done with being your fuck buddy and watching you pine over someone who obviously doesn't return your affections."

In the first time since they were more than opponents across the court to each other, Atobe actually walked away from Sanada.
