FIC: Figure [Prince of Tennis; semi-sequel; Fuji/Kaidoh]
Title: Figure
Fandom: Prince of Tennis
Rating: PG-13 ish
Characters/Pairing: Fuji x Kaidoh
Summary: Fuji thinks he has it all figured out.
Apartment series: Ten Days || Figure || Fortnight || Corrective Measures
Fuji likes puzzles. They're tricky and difficult to master. There's nearly always more than one way of solving them; he likes finding them all. People are puzzles in their own way - made up of many pieces, whose fittings can change at any given moment - with their solving difficulty spanning various levels at the same time.
Fuji likes people, too.
He had spent junior high figuring out Tezuka, and high school, on himself.
Fuji feels like it'll take a lifetime to master Kaidoh.
Kaidoh's silent by nature unless provoked. If there is a secret he's hoarding, it can take months of Fuji's sneaky plying to get Kaidoh to reveal it, and even then, Fuji thinks that Kaidoh is just humoring him, giving him the answer as a reward for his hard work.
Fuji doesn't have to pry, though, to know Kaidoh. That he likes kittens because they go after a target relentlessly so long as their attention isn't diverted. That he learned to cook from his mother. That he expects much from his brother, Hazue, but tries not to pressure him. That he lets his actions speak for him most times, in touches and smiles and lingering gazes, but understands that, sometimes, speaking is the action that must be taken.
Without having to ask, he knows that Kaidoh doesn't want Fuji to realize that this relationship was his plan from the beginning. And as perfect as this insight is, it's probably a mistake to mention that he knows Kaidoh's secret when he's trapped beneath a larger, heavier and stronger body.
Like most things, this knowledge doesn't make him hesitate.
"You wanted this from the start," Fuji gasps as hands slide around him, pulling his body closer to the mouth that's devouring him. "Tell me I'm right."
Kaidoh's hesitates a fraction of a second. It's enough to tell Fuji everything, but then Kaidoh's moving up his body, sliding a broad tongue across one of his nipples.
"What do you mean 'from the start'? The start of what?"
"Everything," he whispers into Kaidoh's mouth, rejoices in the way it's enough to make Kaidoh groan. "Being room mates. Living together. Everything was a part of your naughty, naughty plan."
It's a sexy thought that goes straight to his ego. That Kaidoh wanted him so much that he was willing to go to all the trouble and bear through with all that patience.
"If it'd been me," Fuji muses aloud, against the shoulder that would look better with the mark of his teeth. "If it'd been me, I would have pounced on you the moment you finished moving in."
"Like a cat?" Kaidoh's hands are surely leaving marks on his back.
"Tiger," he corrects, mangles it with a purr as Kaidoh moves back down to press a kiss against his navel. "Would've taken you. Right in the middle of the apartment, surrounded by those damn boxes."
Kaidoh's laugh is a huff of hot air across his erection. "How romantic," he says. "So romantic, in fact, I almost hate to tell you that there was no plan at all."
The shock is washed over by arousal. Even as he's reeling with the revelation, he's thrusting into Kaidoh's mouth, tightening his hold in pitch dark hair, and watching the way Kaidoh's muscles flex, guiding Fuji's movements and bracing and tensing.
Abruptly, the puzzle pieces have shifted, and Fuji isn't sure what to think.
"Why does this always happen to me when I'm with you?" Fuji demands afterward.
Kaidoh rubs a thumb against the corner of his mouth. "I'd explain, but shouldn't you know, at your age?"
Fuji scowls at the curve of Kaidoh's lips. "Not that!"
Kaidoh slumps into the bed next to him and splays his fingers across Fuji's cooling skin. Fuji still has a hold of Kaidoh's hair. It'd be uncomfortable, come morning, to wake up and have them tangled in the strands and stuck there.
"I think I know, and I'm sure I know," he explains. "And then you go and say something like 'there was no plan' and I can't make up my mind." Fuji's fingers tilt Kaidoh's face upward; dark eyes find his immediately without backing down. "No plan, huh?"
"No plan," Kaidoh confirms. "It can be good to just fall in love, can't it?"
"Yeah." The laugh bubbles up through him. "You hopeless romantic."
Kaidoh kisses him. His eyes are soft. "Tiger."

It was hot and sweet and romantic.
The "Why does this happen to me.." line and response were great.
And the "It can be good just to fall in love..." - just makes my hopeless romantic squee!!
no subject
My favorite part is that line. I almost didn't make it until I started editing. XD
:squees with you:

O:uihSRGa;eorgh ae;rog iPoor Fuji. XD It's like in the InuKai pairing where Kaidoh always makes Inui's predictions and data all wrong. He makes what Fuji is CERTAIN is correct, totally wrong. XD
Oh Kaidoh, you brain buster you. <3333
no subject
♥ ♥ on you.
no subject
<33<33 *love back*

no subject
THOUGH I'M STILL SOMEHOW TERRIBLY UNORGANIZED. @__@
*cough* yeah.
no subject
That idea would make classes so boring....no subject
XD What do you mean?no subject
I meant that if I didn't write out stories during class, the class would be boring. After all, I write out my best when I'm using the fic to stay awake in maths. XD XDno subject
XD Oh! That's why I doodle like crazy. I should scan my Math work sometime and post it. XDDno subject
My professor snipes at me if I draw. At least the words make him feel like I'm trying to take notes. :squee: Doodle FujiKai!no subject
XD I'll try~! *SUCKS SO BAD AT DRAWING FUJI* But yeah. I actually have to pay attention since we're doing factoring and such, so I have to pay attention... though doodling would give me lots of practice. 8Dno subject
FUJI IS SUCH A PAIN. KAIDOH'S EYES PAIN ME. ...and factoring sucks too. XD I'm glad I'm on my last semester of math. Just a few more weeks and I'll be through with finals.no subject
rapemolest Fuji in jealous horniness.YOU ARE WONDERFUL ALSO.
XD WHEN I DRAW BUNTA HE LOOKS MORE LIKE FUJI THAN MY ATTEMPTS AT FUJI DO. AND I DON'T BOTHER WITH KAIDOH'S EYES I JUST IMPROVISE? XD *doesn't use Konomi's style anyways*
SEg;ourhegae;orghuaeor i I have until the beginning of February until my second semester starts. *flail*
no subject
Bunta as in Initial D Bunta? XD Or more likely the name of an actor/singer I haven't learned to recognize yet?Anyway... (to lose the strike because that'd be a lot to put a line through) I've learned that FUJI IS ALL IN THE FACE and it doesn't matter what his hair looks like. And Kaidoh's all body language. It drives me insane. I work better with chibis apparently.
My second semester starts mid Jan. Between the end of this semester and that, I have the happy happy joy joy of seminars. I will learn much about the dynamics of POWER and it makes me happy. XDXDno subject
...Bunta as in Marui Bunta. Rikkai Dai? XD;; POT character? XDXD I SUCK SO BADLY AT CHIBIS. Kaidoh for me is expression. It doesn't matter WHAT his features look like, it's his expression that makes him Kaidoh. And Fuji... I have no philosophy for him.
XD YUSH. POWAAAARRRRR. *giggle* I like power.no subject
I feel shame. Sorry, sorry. I'm afraid I paid very little attention to Rikkai Dai... or any of the opposing teams. I need to rewatch like whoa. XDXD ;_; XDXDMew... I wish I was better at drawing faces.
no subject
XD It's okay. I haven't even reached that arc in watching. *Only on episode 33 and I've been watching since August 2005!!* I'm so slooowwww.XD Faces used to be all I drew back in Junior high so I've had tons of practice.
no subject
You watch PoT like I watch Naruto. I haven't managed to touch those episodes in ages.I'm so envious! ;_; I don't want to think about the things I used to draw in Jr High. Faces, sure. But unless you want Kaidoh and Fuji cosplaying as Sailor Moon and Venus, flashbacks to that time are out of the question.
no subject
XDDD It's not ENTIRELY my fault though. I only read Naruto. XDLMAO. I'd love to see that. I was a "goth" back then so all I drew were guts in trench coats and vampires. XD And they weren't even well drawn.
no subject
Ooh, what keeps holding you back from watching PoT as much we all rightly should?I never entirely made it to goth (although I still sport more than my fair share of trenchcoats in my closet).
AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! :wait, checks your profile: NVM.
On the other hand, you'll be pleased to note that after some repeated practice and pestering of my mom on proportionality, I have more things to scan!no subject
Youtube was so spazzy on my computer and stuff. And now I have no time to watch it on this computer.XD I've never had a trenchcoat, because I'm too much of a klutz. But yeah. I wore a lot of red and black. *wears a lot of black now, but I don't wear gallons of eyeliner anymore so yeah* XD
XD HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU!
=O OMG PICTURES SOSEHFW:OW HFWE YAAAY!no subject
I MISS YOUTUBE! I'm sure I've deleted some program or audio thing that keeps me from hearing sound from the internet. XD It's suckage.XD Aha, I can't tell you how many times I
threw myselffell down the stairs because my boots stepped on my coat. Ah, flashbacks. You'll never catch me in eyeliner though. (I wear mostly neutral colors. Browns, burgandies, jeans.) XDPS: Do you ever wonder when this comment thread will collapse?
no subject
:3 Not in the past 10 hours, no. ^__^ I love you too, for the lovely sharing of ideas and your writing and the lovely conversations we've been carrying out.
Do you have MSN? 8D=O OMG THAT'S TERRIBLE. I shall grieve for your loss of sound. YOU CAN STILL LISTEN TO MUSIC RIGHT? O_OXDD Yeah, I once wore a Trenchcoat I borrowed for a shitty Edward cosplay, and as fun as it was to wear it, it was some hard not to trip. Especially on the bus. XDDD I don't even bother wearing makeup anymore. I only wore it once since I quit, when I put on a tiny bit to bring out my eyes for my Kaidoh cosplay. *has blonde eyelashes and eyebrows so it looks liked I have none* [ Last year I wore black pants with bright colored shirts. XD I'm starting to get back into that. *has like... five yellow shirts and three orange ones. Three green ones, one bright blue one
blue is NOT my color, and a purple one. XD They're all like... hard on the eyes. I love it.*REPLY TO YOUR PS: XD I never really wonder when that will happen, I always wonder when the page will start stretching though. :3
no subject
I do as a matter of fact. magealexanderethan@hotmail.com if you're that interested, although I'm not on all that often. XDBUT I CAN STILL LISTEN TO MUSIC. ITUNES SAVES MY SOULIf could just get over the fear of sticking something in my eye (so that I could wear contacts instead of my rockin' Inui-frames), I'd be able to pull off a wicked Kaidoh. Black hair and all natural. XD Now if I could get to a con....
RE PS: HA.
no subject
8D MSN is a good way to make faster communication. *grin*OMG THANK GOD. *is dying without new music, has to listen to CDS**flails* I'M A NATURAL BLONDE [Dyed brownish red hair] THAT'S NOT FAIR. *cough* And you could totally be the Inui to my Kaidoh.
My very bad female Kaidoh cosplay because I have no idea how to make my hair look short without actually cutting it.no subject
Maybe the Fuji to your Kaidoh? XDno subject
Lol but Fuji's hair is brown! XDD Unless you dyed it.=O I have long hair that I really should get cut soon. It's like... BIG hair. XD;;; *never wears it down because of that*
no subject
I've dyed it before. It wouldn't be that huge of a leap, but I suppose the glasses would be the biggest obstacle.Yeah, long hair is difficult to make look short. ;_;
no subject
Maybe you could get less obvious glasses and say you're Fuji when he's twenty and he now wears glasses. Ignoring the fact that he'll never need them because he's perfect.*nod* Once I'm old enough. XD When I move out. I'm going to immerse myself in a low budget POT world.
no subject
Or maybe I'll just suck it up and get my optometrist to teach me how to put contacts in. The next time I get new glasses though, I'll keep totally-perfect Fuji in mind.Hm... this makes me wonder if I can still find that 80 dollar Seigaku uniform....yay, internet.
no subject
THE POWER OF FUJI COMPELLS YOU TO MAKE HIM PERFECT.XD Yay, Ebay! I saw one while searching POT stuff out of pure needing to spazz over something last weekend.
no subject
Like crack, the power of Fuji infects every aspect of my life. XDAwesome! Hyaaa, if I wasn't attempting to save up money for vacation and camera right now, I'd snatch it up like whoa.
no subject
XD Just like Kaidoh and Inui infect mine. XDD*pumps fist in air* You can do it! YOSH!
no subject
♥
To me, Kaidoh is inscrutinable. It's not easy to understand him, because he doesn't show much in the term of emotions. But that's why I love him too much. Poor Fuji... he'd have to try for a lifetime.
Love this!
no subject
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Agreed with Kaidoh's inscrutibility. By contrast, it's very easy to see how Fuji works (though difficult to pass on the knowledge in fanfiction). It's a thrill to have them almost switching roles. ♥s.
no subject
<333333
Their dialogue is so cute. Kaidoh, you're such a brat.
The 'puzzle' part was so insightful. Yum.
Fuji being all 'YOU CAN HAZ MOTIVE?' and Kaidoh just going, '...what?' <33333
This was my favorite line: '
"No plan," Kaidoh confirms. "It can be good to just fall in love, can't it?"' <333333
