Disclaimer: Not mine!
Notes: Oshitari/Atobe for
svz_insanity. Dude. Don't
ask, I... don't know. And yes, Atobe drinks mai tais
(1) even when standing in front of the junior high tennis association registration booth.
A good captain never breaks his pose, not even when he has just
been informed his teammates have forfeited the nationals due to too
much sex.
"Ohtori and Shishido?" he repeats, deliberately swirling his mai tai.
"Completely
immobilized after you made the mistake of letting them go back to
Shishido's room together after drinking all that vodka," Oshitari
replies unblinkingly.
"Gakuto and Jiroh?"
"
And Kabaji," Oshitari says calmly. "You do not, I imagine, wish to inquire further."
Swirl, swirl, swirl.
"Looking on the bright side," Oshitari continues, "Seigaku
is long overdue for an orgy. It's possible that--"
"Screw this," Atobe says elegantly, allowing the drink to slip from his hand and shatter at last on the sidewalk.
Oshitari smirks. "What are you thinking, Ore-sama?"
"That
we have better things to do than wait around for Sakaki-sensai to show
up," Atobe replies, slipping his hand around Oshitari's shoulder.
Oshitari, though a head taller, has always been pliable. He complies
now, allowing Atobe's hand to grace the back of his neck.
"That's
wise," he says, "considering that Sakaki and Hiyoshi were last seen
together, looking very drunk and very soon to be indisposed."
It
takes a great man to focus on the important things at such moments,
Atobe thinks. Anyone of lesser qualities might miss the opportunity
before him, the opportunity to draw Oshitari away from the sign-in
booth and follow the example of his doomed teammates.
Atobe's greatness, however, remains intact.
"Naturally, they will all pay," he says, when Oshitari has joined him in the shadows.
"Tomorrow?" Oshitari says.
"Tomorrow," says Atobe.
Right
before he kisses Oshitari, Atobe thinks that there can't be any harm in
sending a case of vodka up to the Seigaku hotel rooms tonight--just in
case.
