Changing the Rules [PoT, Tezuka]
Title: Changing the Rules
Fandom: PoT
Word Count: 100
Notes: for the prompt 'changing the rules' in the drabble meme here. Tezuka's thoughts on his semi-final match.
Tezuka is prepared to do a lot for Seigaku. He’s destroyed his arm; he’s stepped away from the S1 position that’s his by right. He’s even stepped away and trusted Oishi to hold them until he returned.
He faltered once, back in first year, but Yamato was there.
Now Ryuzaki-sensei asks him to play a farce of a doubles match and even Oishi blanches. Tezuka’s no doubles player and yet he would rather struggle through with Inui than ask him to step away.
He asks anyway.
Seigaku wins.
He’s not sure Ryuzaki realises how close he came to saying no.
