015. a fine line between genius and insanity. Events occur right after Tezuka and Fuji's match. Minor spoilers therefore, for episode 176.

Though he knows the tears are good, it's more than Tezuka can take, enough for him to ignore the surrounding spectators and press a soft kiss to Fuji's lips uncharacteristically.

"Will we ever play another match?" Fuji asks quietly, and it's all Tezuka hears, amongst clapping and cheering, as though the rest of the world is outside their bubble. And has been for the entire match. He knows Fuji's imagination, he suspects Syuusuke may be thinking about high school, and whether they will be together, or apart. What that means for them playing matches.

"We're never going to stop, now." Tezuka replies firmly. He has not waited so long for this only to throw it away. Fuji will forever be his stepping stone to the next level, they will climb side by side up the rungs of the ladder until they reach the top.

Fuji is another person now, in the way he focuses when he trains. Outside of tennis, he has not changed, but he holds a seriousness inside now that cannot be ignored. Tezuka takes him to practice against the ball machines at his own request, and watches in awe as the sweat runs in rivers down Fuji's skin.

"You can't go up against three machines at once." Tezuka says, his voice betraying a slight amount of worry.

"It is not impossible; they train this way at Rikkai. Inui has mentioned it."

"I just don't think it's a good idea to-"

"Tezuka," Fuji says, in a tone that makes Tezuka's words die in his throat, "let me try this."

He was always unreasonable in his mischief, and insane when he had forgotten to finish a school project, why now should this be any different? Tezuka swallows his protests and reminds himself it was he who chose to unleash this being on everyone. He cannot take it back now, and when it comes down to it, he does not want to.

"When it comes down to it," Fuji says, echoing Tezuka's own words to himself, "the Triple Counters were not enough to beat you. They will not be enough to win at the Nationals, either. I am going to improve."

The way he says it sends a chill racing down Tezuka's spine. It's really something he has unlocked inside Syuusuke. Really something, and only time will tell.
