A/N: Another common pairing! The more common ones are coming out now, I guess. Not really a favorite since Tezuka is a bit too much of a rock for me to work with. It's kinda hard to write from his perspective. And considering how badly I've been portraying him in As Fate... Well, it's kinda weird. I never tried writing Perfect so feedback'll be nice! -iirse
Warnings: Definite slash, though not explicit. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Perfect "Firsts"
ONE. First Conversation
The way they knew how to read the other' smiles and looks was a skill carried over into their new relationship to the point that words were hardly necessary.
TWO. First Worry/Anxiety
It was natural for Syuusuke to fuss behind his smiles and open-eyed stares, but Kunimitsu didn't realize how worrying the lack of these was until it happened.
When they finally sat down to talk to it out, it turned out that Syuusuke stopped because he feared he was being too much, but Kunimitsu didn't mind – and was relieved for such a simple explanation. They'd worried for nothing, apparently.
THREE. First Whiff
Wasabi and mint, Kunimitsu's mind registered, the first time Syuusuke was out of sorts enough to throw himself at the taller brunette, clinging on to him as if for dear life in relief.
FOUR. First Date
They were at a nursery abroad and Syuusuke was scoping out cacti when a salesgirl had come over. "Good evening, miss. That's a good choice! May I suggest some bonsai for the gentleman?"
As he'd walked away in the indicated direction, he heard the girl giggle. "Your boyfriend's so sweet, catering to your interests completely on a date!"
FIVE. First Lapse/Mistake
Judging from the look in Syuusuke's eye, pitting him against the younger Fuji because he felt it was time the brothers stopped dancing around each other was A Bad Idea.
He'd be on the couch of their shared college apartment for weeks yet.
But really, it had been more than five years already!
