Fic post from my archive.

Backstage: Part Three

Tezuka and Atobe meet while out fishing, in the Spring of their third year of high school. Conversation, verbal jousting, poetry, philosophy, angst, dramatics and humor ensue. Drama with Budding Romance, I-3

Keigo opened his eyes. He was becoming increasingly fluent in Tezuka-speak, which was a very tonal language. That particular tone was more terse than he would have thought the comment warranted.

*grins* If you haven't before, you should read some Lois McMaster Bujold books; I absorbed several turns of phrase from her, and that laugh was one of them. Sometimes it surprises me when I read back through and realize how much I got from her. I think it shows most with Keigo; her style of humor fits him.

Heee, fluff! They do loosen up, once I get them away from their teams.

*happy bouncing* I'm so glad you liked it!

Ahh, I see...I've heard of her, of course, but never read any of her work, I don't think. I'll have to do something about that. ^_^

It was fluff. *nods* I would never have believed it, but it was fluff. ^^ You're probably right, about the only way this could happen was if they meet off the courts and away from their teams and 'official' roles. It's yummy though...mmm...
