drabble request meme

[soundczechfic]

As usual, I might get bored and not complete these. I always do it on a whim and then run out of steam and I'm not that good with like, responsibility.

I'm only opening to Prince of Tennis, Loveless, Nana and Veronica Mars drabbles. Or original, I guess, with prompt words. And maybe Tenimyu RPS, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to write all actors. I will do my best :( Request away.

Tezuka/Ryoma; interrogate.

[soundczech.livejournal.com]

In his second year of high school, Tezuka is offered a place at a rising stars tennis camp in Osaka. He packs his bags and leaves the third week of summer, Fuji at his side and Ryoma getting smaller in the distance as the train leaves the platform. They know about half the players at the camp, maybe more, from tournaments and Nationals and assorted other events. Everybody knows who they are, and Tezuka feels their eyes on his shoulder as they walk through the halls.

Tezuka has to share a room with Atobe.

He's in the room already when Tezuka gets there, with wet hair and his button down shirt hanging open. He greets Atobe curtly and unpacks his bags, sliding neatly folded shirts into the drawer. He's learned not to be too warm with Atobe lest it be taken as an invitation for wandering hands to inappropriate places. It doesn't matter, because Atobe is already at his shoulder, mouth close to Tezuka's ear.

"Lucky me," Atobe drawls. "We can stay up late and giggle like girls."

Tezuka steps back, away from the oppressive heat of Atobe at his side. "I go to bed early," he says, and heads out for practice.

Fuji must have spoken to Ryoma because Tezuka gets a call the next afternoon, Ryoma's voice quiet and grumpy over the line.

"I bet he orchestrated it," Ryoma huffs. "He probably bought off the administrators just to get into the camp."

Tezuka doesn't bother dignifying that with a response. "How was practice?" he asks instead.

Ryoma grunts. "Fine. Don't change the subject, Buchou."

"But this conversation is so pointless," Tezuka points out. "We had it last summer too and we weren't even -"

They weren't even a couple then. Tezuka still sometimes feels uncomfortable thinking of them like that. He's growing used to the heat of Ryoma's mouth on his skin and the weight of his arms around his neck, but it feels reckless to be so open.

"Last summer you ended up locked in the equipment shed with him for three hours because Kabaji broke the door," Ryoma reminds him. "He's shifty."

"That was just an accident."

"Che." There's a long silence. "What does he wear to bed?"

"I don't know," Tezuka says. "Pajamas."

"What do you wear to bed?"

Tezuka closes his eyes. "Pajamas," he says.

"I hope they're ugly ones," Ryoma scowls.

"They're blue," Tezuka replies. "Plaid."

"I hope you look gross in them."

"Why are you so strange about Atobe?" Tezuka asks. "There are plenty of other boys at this camp."

"Yeah," Ryoma snorts, "but Atobe's hot."

Tezuka blinks and reminds himself not to let Ryoma play Singles One when they meet Hyotei in the regionals next year.

"But this conversation is so pointless," Tezuka points out.

I just keep coming back to this line and wondering how you manage to make Tezuka so real even when he is saying this many syllables at once. slak;djf. It says so much about their dynamic that he is that open with Ryoma. God. Like just the fact that he actually says that many words together at all about something he is actually thinking at the moment tells you how much he loves Ryoma. COULD YOU IMAGINE HIM SAYING THAT MANY WORDS TO ATOBE? NO. ASDKJFAJSKDF.

Loved the drabble!

I loved possesive!Ryouma, and clueless!Tezuka--I think it fits their personalities well because I can see Ryouma being pretty possessive when it comes to Tezuka (if they were dating) and how Tezuka would consider Atobe's interest in him a non-issue.

I particularly liked the last two lines:

"Yeah," Ryoma snorts, "but Atobe's hot."

Tezuka blinks and reminds himself not to let Ryoma play Singles One when they meet Hyotei in the regionals next year.
