Inui tapped his chin lightly as he stared at his blender.  The blender was full of innocuous-looking ingredients: fresh vegetables and fruit.  Several bottles of substances that looked decidedly less innocuous were lined up neatly on the countertop. 

 

He eyed them.

 

He was a scientist, and his scientific brain factored greatly in the production of his line of nutritional juices, but sometimes it was as much an art as it was a science.

 

Particularly, he thought as he picked up a beaker full of purple bubbling liquid, when it came to the more specialized ingredients.

 

He dumped have the beaker into his blender and smiled at the satisfying sizzle, before carefully fastening the lid on the appliance and turning it on.

 

The door slid open as he hit the switch, and Inui glanced behind him.

 

ÒAh, Fuji,Ó he said with a smile.  ÒWasnÕt practice over some time ago?Ó

 

The other senior shrugged.  ÒYes, but I was trying out a few things.Ó

 

ÒAh,Ó replied Inui.  He turned back to his whirring blender, a smirk on his face.

 

ÒNew juice?Ó asked Fuji.  Inui nodded absently.  ÒI look forward to trying it, then.

 

ÒWhatÕs in this one?Ó

 

Inui calmly rattled off the ingredients.

 

ÒSounds good,Ó commented Fuji with a wicked grin.  ÒThough IÕm sure my opinion wonÕt be shared.Ó

 

Inui smiled down at the boy who had wandered over to his experiment space, and was now calmly perusing the ingredients he had laid out.

 

ÒIt rarely is,Ó Inui stated.  ÒMost people donÕt appreciate your mind.Ó

 

FujiÕs smile widened a little bit, and he opened his eyes, pinning his taller friend with a laser-sharp gaze.  ÒBut you do, right?Ó

 

Inui leaned down. ÒOf course,Ó he murmured.

 

When he had first met Fuji, he had decided that a relationship between he and the tensai would probably not work.  Fuji was, on the surface, sweet, kind, and gentle, and most people would never see him as anything but that.

 

In reality, Fuji was extremely intelligent, slightly sadistic, and impossible to categorize.

 

Inui knew that.  He had spent the better part of his junior high days trying to gauge FujiÕs strength, and had, in some ways, failed more at that than he had at gauging TezukaÕs.

 

Still, Fuji was extremely attractive, Inui mused as he pulled away.  And he seemedÉinterested.

 

Inui had gathered enough data over the course of the past three years to recognize that, at least.

 

ÒDo you think this is a good idea?Ó he asked conversationally.

 

FujiÕs smile flashed.  ÒOf course it is, Inui.Ó  He brushed light hair away from his face and tilted his head up.  ÒAre you denying yourself the opportunity to collect more data?Ó

 

InuiÕs own smile widened a bit.  ÒNot at all, Fuji,Ó he commented as he crowded the slim tennis player against the hard graphite counter.  ÒIÕm sure that this experience will provide me with some interestingÉinsights.Ó  He brushed his lips against Fuji's own, a light, inquisitive kiss that quickly became hard and demanding.

 

Fuji didnÕt seem to mind the change, leaning into the kiss and returning it with as much demand as Inui was.

 

They broke apart, gasping for breath.  ÒAny interesting insights yet, Inui?Ó asked Fuji.

 

ÒIÕll let you know when IÕve had time to analyze the data,Ó returned Inui with a smile.  He took off his glasses, sticking them in his shirt pocket, and then picked Fuji up under his arms and set him down on an empty space on the counter.

 

FujiÕs eyebrows rose.  It hadnÕt been long ago that Inui wouldnÕt have been able to do that, no matter how light his partner was.  ÒI see your training menu is working out well for you,Ó he said.

 

ÒIt does seem to be having unexpected benefits, doesnÕt it?Ó said Inui.  He started to unbutton FujiÕs plain cotton shirt, sliding it off the tensaiÕs shoulders before pausing.

 

The school and tennis uniforms really did manage to hide a lot, he mused; Fuji was even better developed than he had supposed.

 

FujiÕs bone structure was too fine for him ever to have an obviously muscular body, and in his clothing he appeared more slender than he was.

 

But Fuji had muscles that stretched across his bones with a deceptive kind of strength.  It was extremely attractive.

 

Fuji lifted his hands off the graphite counter and flicked his shirt off, tossing it negligently across the room, before leaning back to wriggle out of his pants.  The black fabric pooled on the floor under his dangling feet. 

 

Inui kicked them out of the way, before he leaned over his friend.  He smirked.  ÒNice boxers, Fuji,Ó he said.

 

ÒThank you,Ó replied the tensai.  ÒTheyÕve always been my favorites.Ó

 

The shorts in question were a pale orchid color, with small, bright green cacti scattered all over them.  They were cute and whimsical, and Inui wasnÕt sure that he was going to be able to look at his friend ever again without remembering them.

 

It would make future practices interesting.

 

ÒI havenÕt seen yours yet, though,Ó noted Fuji.  His hands reached up and started to slip the buttons open on InuiÕs shirt.  ÒAm I the only one whoÕs going to play show and tell?Ó he asked.

 

ÒOf course not,Ó said Inui.  ÒMine arenÕt nearly as interesting, however.Ó  While Fuji worked on his shirt, he worked at his pants, efficiently unbuttoning them and shoving them down to tangle with FujiÕs on the floor.  ÒSee?Ó he said.

 

Fuji eyed them critically.  They were black cotton, with no distinguishing traits.  ÒTheyÕre very nice,Ó he commented.  ÒVery functional.Ó

 

Inui raised his eyebrows.  ÒThank you, Fuji.Ó  He kissed the tensai again, smoothing his fingers down FujiÕs back as he did so. 

 

ÒBut IÕm sure you wonÕt mind if we dispense with them, right?Ó he said as he broke the kiss.  His eyes, for once not hidden behind his glasses, gleamed with intent.

 

FujiÕs smiled as he hooked his fingers in InuiÕs waistband and slowly pulled the briefs down.  ÒIÕm more interested in whatÕs under them, anyway,Ó he said.

 

They joined the pile of fabric on the floor.  FujiÕs own boxers soon followed.

 

Inui stroked long-fingered hands up FujiÕs legs and smiled when his friend sighed in pleasure.  ÒItÕs good?Ó he asked, whispering into FujiÕs ear as he leaned forward.

 

ÒYes,Ó hissed the tensai as he brought his knees up towards his chest.

 

ÒGood,Ó said Inui in return.  He leaned over Fuji, brushing his fingertips lightly over the length of his partnerÕs cock, before rubbing at the slit.

 

Fuji hissed  again, softly.  ÒIÕm not in the mood for games today, Inui,Ó he said.

 

ÒOh?Ó asked Inui.  ÒHow unusual for you.Ó  For a moment he considered teasing Fuji despite the otherÕs request to the contrary.

 

But it wasnÕt really a good idea to irritate their tensai, as he had seen as far back as their first year at Seigaku. 

 

Inui pulled open a drawer to his right, and extracted a small bottle he had hidden there.

 

It was nothing fancy; simple baby oil that he used on his skin after working with too many chemicals.  But it would certainly work for this purpose, as well.

 

Inui coated his fingers and carefully swirled one around FujiÕs opening, carefully watching his partnerÕs face as he did so.

 

He was a little surprised when he slid a finger in, and Fuji winced.

 

ÒHave you never done this before?Ó he asked.

 

Fuji took a few deep breaths before he spoke.  ÒNot this way,Ó he gasped.  His eyes opened, and it seemed that they were particularly predatory in the dying light of the late afternoon.  ÒIÕm usuallyÉin the other position.Ó

 

ÒI see,Ó said Inui.  He smiled.  ÒIt will give you a new perspective, next time, donÕt you think?Ó  He added another finger, scissoring them to stretch Fuji further.

 

ÒSome new points to consider,Ó he added, arching his fingers and brushing them lightly against FujiÕs prostate.

 

The smaller tennis player arched, gasping.  ÒIÕll certainly take this experience under consideration,Ó he said with a gasp.

 

ÒInformation is always valuable,Ó agreed Inui.  He slid his fingers out of Fuji, and slicked himself liberally with the oil.  ÒThis will hurt,Ó he added, as he placed one knee on the counter next to FujiÕs hip.

 

ÒI know,Ó said Fuji.

 

Inui smiled again, and entered Fuji in one smooth thrust.  He paused, trying to let his friend get used to the sensation.

 

ÒAre you okay?Ó he asked. 

 

ÒFine,Ó gasped Fuji, gritting his teeth.  His hands were gripping the edges of the counter hard, so hard that his knuckles were completely white.

 

Inui peeled one small hand off the counter and linked FujiÕs fingers with his own.  ÒIt stops hurting after awhile,Ó he said

 

Fuji opened his eyes and gave the data specialist a level stare.  ÒWhat?Ó asked Inui.

 

Fuji smirked a little.  ÒNothing,Ó he said.  ÒJust that thatÕs usually my line.Ó  He paused.  ÒIt doesnÕt hurt much anymore,Ó he added.

 

Inui grinned.  ÒGood,Ó he said.

 

He started to move, and neither one of them spoke for quite some time after that.

 

***

 

Fuji opened his eyes and stared up at the ceiling.

 

Inui was still sprawled on top of him, and the data tennis specialistÕs breathing was slowly returning to normal.

 

Fuji sighed, unwinding his legs from around InuiÕs hips.  He was probably going to be sore in the morning.

 

But it was certainly worth it, he thought with a smirk.  He had a whole new perspective.

 

ÒInui,Ó  he murmured, smiling when he got an incoherent mumble in response.  ÒWe should get up.Ó

 

ÒYeah,Ó managed Inui.   Later, he thought, he would have to make some notes about FujiÕs fast recovery rate.  It was probably applicable to tennis as well.

 

Inui started to roll over when he felt FujiÕs hand on his arm.  He leveled an inquiring glance at the smaller senior.

 

ÒCareful,Ó Fuji said with a smile.  ÒIt looks like there was a bit of aÉmishap over there.Ó

 

Inui looked where Fuji was indicating, and sighed.  The juice.  He have to chalk this up as an incomplete experiment now.

 

Fuji grinned at him.  ÒIÕll help you clean it up,Ó he said.

 

ÒThanks.Ó

 

ÒOn one condition,Ó  Fuji continued blithely.

 

Inui paused and turned back to his partner, giving him a wary look.  ÒCondition?Ó he repeated.

 

ÒYes,Ó said Fuji with an almost predatory smile.  ÒI get to be seme, next time.Ó  He tipped his head at Inui.  ÒYou canÕt possibly get accurate data unless you view it from all angles, can you?Ó

 

Inui shrugged, and started methodically wiping the counters down, occasionally stealing glances at Fuji, who was doing the same.

 

He wondered what he was getting himself into, and if it was really a good idea.

 

Then again, he thought, as the corners of his mouth tipped up, it would certainly make for very interesting data.
