[01 - Comfort]
There was little comfort for Kaidoh in being the clumsiest first year in Seigaku's tennis club - a sad fact which Momoshiro never let him forget with that leering, too-happy face of his - but Fuji, smiling sympathetically as he helped Kaidoh to his feet, encouraged Kaidoh to strive to do his best.
[02 - Kiss]
"It's the first time I've seen you trip, Fuji-sempai," Kaidoh said, pressing his lips to the band-aid on Fuji's palm.
[03 - Soft]
For days afterward, Fuji would remember - with obsessive regularity - the silky softness of Kaidoh's lips.
[04 - Pain]
"One would think you're doing this on purpose, sempai," Kaidoh scolded politely as he dabbed an alcohol-soaked swab to the curve of Fuji's knee; when Fuji hissed at the pain, Kaidoh lightened his touch, but didn't pull away.
[05 - Potatoes]
After a group of first years from Kaidoh's class shot a potato from the school roof to the tennis courts for a physics assignment, Fuji laughed out loud at Kaidoh's scream when the projectile caught him unawares, mid serve.
[06 - Rain]
Fuji liked the look in Kaidoh's eyes when he struggled through extra hours of training, especially in the rain.
[07 - Chocolate]
Long before Inui scribbled the fact in his notebook, Fuji had known that Kaidoh liked chocolate.
[08 - Happiness]
Fuji's heart skipped at the look of joy that spread across Kaidoh's face as he performed his first snake shot.
[09 - Telephone]
"Call me," Fuji said, almost preening as Kaidoh's face crimsoned, "if you want to practice in your spare time."
[10 - Ears]
"I heard a rumor somewhere," Kaidoh murmured, stepping up to a spot just behind Fuji's shoulder, "that you're a tennis prodigy. Are you trying to keep it a secret, Fuji-sempai?"
[11 - Name]
Somewhere along the way, Fuji's conversations with Eiji had been filled with Kaidoh's name; thus far, Eiji had done his best not to mention it.
[12 - Sensual]
There was something undeniably sensual in how Kaidoh ate his home-packed bentos with such traditional neatness; Fuji was certain that it had to do with the way his kouhai's chopsticks would linger between his lips after each bite.
[13 - Death]
"Don't you want to be at the top of the tennis world, Fuji-sempai?" demanded Kaidoh in reference to Fuji's hidden-prodigy status; "The thought of hiding my talents makes me feel like dying."
[14 - Sex]
Sex was something kids in Japan started learning about long before their parents ever brought it up; Fuji wasn't so sure about having "the talk" with his parents, but he thought that - perhaps, in time - learning with Kaidoh might not be such a bad thing.
[15 - Touch]
The touch was a gentle press to adjust his hold on the racket; Kaidoh felt its burn through his skin and into his bones.
[16 - Weakness]
"Oh, caught you," said Fuji as soon as he walked in on Kaidoh teasing a cat with a bit of shoelace.
[17 - Tears]
Fuji's stubborn refusal to play tennis at full strength was frustrating enough to bring Kaidoh to tears.
[18 - Speed]
When it came time to determine the regulars of the team, however, the speed with which Fuji scored brought a smile to his face.
[19 - Wind]
While seeing Hakugei performed was impressive enough, Kaidoh's gaze lingered on the way Fuji's hair got caught in the breeze.
[20 - Freedom]
He pleased Kaidoh to realize that, as soon as summer passed, he would have the chance to be a Seigaku regular like Fuji.
[21 - Life]
"Tennis is my life," he said and Fuji admired that Kaidoh could admit it so easily.
[22 - Jealousy]
He should be jealous of Fuji's ability, but whenever the feeling rises in him, he reminds himself that it's only be a matter of time before he becomes undefeatable too.
[23 - Hands]
The only time Fuji thought of becoming an inanimate object was when Kaidoh's grip curled around his racket.
[24 - Taste]
Although his mother gave him the strangest look when he asked for it, Kaidoh knew Fuji would steal the curried meat from his bento while he wasn't looking.
[25 - Devotion]
"Fuji-sempai really loves tennis, right?"
[26 - Forever]
"Winning is important to me," he confessed to the winter sun and left the rest unsaid: but when I'm playing, I feel as if I could go on forever.
[27 - Blood]
The color of Kaidoh's bandanna was as dark as blood and with his glaring eyes beneath it, the other first years kept their distance, but Fuji thought the color suited him well when Kaidoh blushed at Fuji's unstraying gaze.
[28 - Sickness]
A sniffling, sneezing Kaidoh, trying to appear menacing and unapproachable from within the heavy coat and scarf, only managed a miserable, adorable look as Fuji teased him with a spoonful of soup.
[29 - Melody]
"Fufufu, you're so cute when you're stubborn, Kaidoh-kun," Fuji sing-songed as he lead a still-not-well Kaidoh to the infirmary.
[30 - Star]
Though he was feeling as dizzy and tortured as he likely looked, Kaidoh peeked his eyes open and was pleased to see Fuji standing guard next to his sick bed.
[31 - Home]
It was nearly Christmas; it seemed absurd that Fuji had no idea where Kaidoh lived.
[32 - Confusion]
Finally finding Kaidoh's home and seeing his face furrow in surprise - "Fuji-sempai, what are you doing here?" - was the best Christmas present Fuji could have received.
[33 - Fear]
Kaidoh left the small package unopened for days before deciding that he should open Fuji's gift - a bright, green bandanna, he discovered later with relief - if only to stop the feeling that it was staring at him while he was in the room.
[34 - Lightning/Thunder]
Though he later berated himself for being so sentimental, Kaidoh wondered if Fuji-sempai was watching the storm with the same avid interest; he was.
[35 - Bonds]
Though Kaidoh saw nothing suspicious about his sempai's actions, he was curious as to why he now sported a red thread tied in a bow around his pinkie.
[36 - Market]
There were some of the cutest things on sale during the weekends and Kaidoh pretended not to notice them while he walked alongside Fuji, but Fuji caught him looking anyway.
[37 - Technology]
Claw machines could be filled with anything these days, it seemed, but Fuji managed to find one filled with small plushies easily - winning was easy, too; he was a prodigy after all.
[38 - Gift]
"Because Kaidoh-kun likes cute things," he said as he presented the basket of plushies he'd won to Kaidoh's pinking face.
[39 - Smile]
The embarrassed smile Kaidoh sported while cradling the basket of dolls to his chest made Fuji want to kiss him.
[40 - Innocence]
So he did - pressed his mouth swiftly against Kaidoh's - and ran away afterward, leaving Kaidoh touching his lips and feeling as if he'd just stolen something precious.
[41 - Completion]
Messing with the hair on the back of his neck, beneath the tie of his bandanna, Kaidoh said, "I never did get a chance to thank you, Fuji-sempai, for your gift," and blushing bright, kissed him.
[42 - Clouds]
The captain tipped his sunglasses down as he looked down at Fuji, happily blocking the prodigy's view of the clouds as he said, "Fuji-kun and Kaidoh-kun have become good friends."
[43 - Sky]
The sky was too bright to be winter, Kaidoh thought, but perhaps that was just an illusion from having seen Fuji glow in his direction so many times.
[44 - Heaven]
They're sitting side by side on the benches next to the courts, waiting for the older regulars to finish their matches, and Kaidoh squints up at the sun through his fingers while Fuji's knuckles slide against his thigh; the moment is so calm that Kaidoh thinks that it must be heaven.
[45 - Hell]
Fuji, when he's in the mood, will catch Kaidoh before practice and kiss him - lingeringly, chastely, and whispering all sorts of bad intentions - but he'll let Kaidoh suffer with the tension for the rest of the afternoon.
[46 - Sun]
Perhaps it was Fuji's natural magnetism, the kind of gravity that kept the planets around the sun, but Kaidoh had the uneasy feeling that he would never escape it.
[47 - Moon]
The moon was high in the sky when the rest of the regulars came back to the training camp's dorms from the tournament earlier that day, and Kaidoh - along with the rest of the first years - were there to greet them with dinner and cheers; Fuji didn't say whether he'd won his matches or not, but Kaidoh had no doubts.
[48 - Waves]
This feeling was not yet strong enough to bring Fuji to his knees, but there were times - when he saw Kaidoh speeding around the track or when the other boy couldn't hide the blood that suffused his cheeks - that it crashed over him unexpectedly.
[49 - Hair]
A tender moment as Kaidoh brushed Fuji's bangs out of his eyes and said...
[50 - Supernova]
"I know we're both guys and all, but-" covering his embarrassment and giving Fuji the option of ignoring this particular bombshell, "would you mind if I loved you?"
