Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Pairing: Ibu Shinji x Inui Sadaharu
Theme set: Episilon
Rating: R for allusion to nudity and underpants
#01 - Motion
Shinji found out the hard way that he doesn't like long car rides.
#02 - Cool
Inui's skin was quite cool to the touch, Shinji thought as his hand slid up the taller man's chest.
#03 - Young
Inui and Ibu were aware of each other when they were younger, but it was Shinji's comment on Inui's desperate attempt to keep Seigaku from losing the Kanto championships that Inui realized there were other things in life and being anxious about being about to defeat his old friend suddenly focused him into something completely different.
#04 - Last
Inui had just picked up the last box of grip tape, and he saw the glare Ibu gave him as he paid the clerk; Inui smiled and handed the box to Ibu wordlessly.
#05 - Wrong
Inui knew he was wrong occasionally; after all, no one is perfect.
#06 - Gentle
Inui was surprised that such strong, rough, calloused hands could be so gentle.
#07 - One
One plus one equals two, it was one of the simplest mathmatical problems, and one of the hardest to apply to love Inui found out.
#08 - Thousand
One thousand years wouldn't be enough for Inui to prove his love to Shinji.
#09 - King
In Shinji's dreams, Inui was the great king of the land, wanting only peace for his subjects and his consort and prince and princess.
#10 - Learn
Shinji taught Inui that there's more to people than data; Inui taught Shinji that silence was golden.
#11 - Blur
Inui's world was quite blurry without his glasses on his face, but Shinji was the one blur he could recognize anywhere.
#12 - Wait
Shinji would wait until the end of time as long as he could be with his 'haru.
#13 - Change
Inui realized that over the years people can change, but it seemed that Shinji never did, especially when he started talking to himself.
#14 - Command
Just one whispered word from Inui could have Shinji obeying everything he said.
#15 - Hold
Shinji decided that the best part of sex was being held by Sadaharu aftwards.
#16 - Need
Shinji had never been more aware of how much he needed what Sadaharu was offering him: unwavering, unconditional love.
#17 - Vision
Inui placed the reading glasses on Shinji's face delicately and said "Welcome to the megane club."
#18 - Attention
Shinji sometimes felt jealous when he felt that Sadaharu wasn't paying attention to him.
#19 - Soul
"You're the other half of my soul, Sadaharu."
#20 - Picture
Shinji hated that picture that Sadaharu had held on to for years so much that he ripped it up; Sadaharu just picked up the pieces and finally let go of his past.
#21 - Fool
"For being so smart you sure can play the fool, my Sadaharu."
#22 - Mad
Despite the odd reasons, or the silly reasons, Shinji just couldn't stay mad at Sadaharu for very long.
#23 - Child
Shinji cooed over the baby they had adopted almost like he was its mother; Sadaharu was jealous, but he loved both of them.
#24 - Now
During the lunch hour Shinji and Sadaharu had some of the most needy sex.
#25 - Shadow
Shinji always knew during high school who it was that followed him wherever he went; Inui's disguise of a baseball cap wasn't brilliant by any stretch of the imagination.
#26 - Goodbye
Inui looked between his lover and his friend and whispered "Sayonara" to his friend.
#27 - Hide
"Come on out, Miyuki, you hid too well for Daddy."
#28 - Fortune
"If we had one hundred yen for every mistake we've made..."
#29 - Safe
Shinji, Miyuki, and Inui all crawled under the blanket in the large bed during the thunderstorm and stayed there until it had passed.
#30 - Ghost
Shinji thought that the small jewelry box he inherited from his grandmother was haunted, but Sadaharu just told him that ghosts don't exist and that his many times removed great grandmother or grandfather wasn't going to haunt him...and was found wrong when he heard voices other than Shinji's mumbling near his ear the next day.
#31 - Book
It was over a book that Inui and Ibu looked into each other's eyes, and brought their lips together in a nervous kiss.
#32 - Eye
Shinji could never quite figure out if Sadaharu's eyes were jade green or emerald green.
#33 - Never
"Never stop touching me."
#34 - Sing
Shinji liked listening to Sadaharu sing, but sometimes he didn't like what he was singing about.
#35 - Sudden
Moving in just a week or so after meeting may have seemed sudden for some people, but for Shinji and Sadaharu it was very, very right.
#36 - Stop
"Sadaharu, did you just run a red light?"
#37 - Time
Sadaharu wished time would stop sometimes; Shinji wished the same thing, but only as long as he and Sadaharu could be together while it was.
#38 - Wash
Inui had been doing his own laundry for many years, and Shinji had not; Inui wondered for about 23.7 seconds why his perfectly white briefs were now pink.
#39 - Torn
Inui took one look at how hurt Shinji was and felt horrible about trying to catch up with old friends and then took the chance to excuse himself so he and Shinji could go home.
#40 - History
History is one of the greatest forces on earth, and though Inui's history was something that hurt Shinji deeply, Shinji knew that they would create a new future together.
#41 - Power
Inui had a sort of power over Shinji, but he wasn't one to abuse it.
#42 - Bother
Shinji occasionally thought himself nothing but in the way for Inui, but Inui always pulled Shinji to his side.
#43 - God
Inui could mathmatically prove that God didn't exist; Shinji didn't care if God existed or not, he was thankful for whatever divine being brought him to his 'haru.
#44 - Wall
Inui sometimes pins Shinji against the wall for quick hand jobs, give and recieve.
#45 - Naked
Shinji was always appreciative of the human body in it's natural form, especially since his lover had such a lovely, muscular one.
#46 - Drive
Shinji for once didn't ramble on about things that had gone wrong on the short drive, but his heart was still beating from the insane way that Sadaharu had drove.
#47 - Harm
Inui never caused Shinji bodily harm at any point, but sometimes it's small things that can hurt the most.
#48 - Precious
Sadaharu thought that the most precious things in his life were Shinji and their child.
#49 - Hunger
No matter where they went for dinner, or even just staying in, Shinji was always on the dessert menu.
#50 - Believe
The belief in their love is what keeps Sadaharu and Shinji together.
