Atobe Wants

A Prince of Tennis Crack Pairing

By Jaelle



Pairing: Atobe/Tachibana
Disclaimer: Not mine.

Rating: PG.



Tachibana awoke to gentle poking in his side.

"Mmrph?" He rolled over and regarded his boyfriend thoughtfully.

Atobe arched a perfect eyebrow at him. "Good morning."

"Good morning," Tachibana agreed. "Satisfy my curiousity would you. Do you get up in the mornings and make yourself up before waking me?"

Atobe smirked at him, every hair in place and with not the slightest trace of dishevelment about him. "Don't be ridiculous. I'm always perfect."

Tachibana sighed and closed his eyes again. "One day I'm going to wake up REALLY early and find out."

"No you won't," Atobe said confidently. "I choose all my boyfriends specifically on the grounds that they're not morning people, so that any secrets I might have will remain so."

Tachibana mumbled something into the pillow.

Atobe resumed poking him. "Up. I want breakfast."

"Then call a maid."

"I want company with my breakfast."

"Then call one of your teammates."

"I want sex on the breakfast table after eating."

"... fine, I'll get up," Tachibana sighed and suited words to action. "Has anyone ever told you you're extremely demanding?"

"One only wants the best," Atobe said smugly, sliding out of bed and slithering into a violet dressing gown.

Less graciously, Tachibana began to gather his things together.

Atobe sighed. "Are you a snail? Must you bring everything with you everywhere you go?"

"Yes, I must," Tachibana replied calmly. "Because, as you know full well, I cannot find my way around this extremely expensive labyrinth you call a house, and if I lose something I will never find it again. I still expect to find the remains of your previous boyfriends some days, trapped forever in the impossible-to-navigate identical corridors."

"I keep telling you, there is a perfectly logical system in place for finding your way through my house."

"Yes, but you won't tell me what it is."

"And spoil my fun?!"

Tachibana resisted the urge to sigh and merely leveled an even look on Atobe, who sighed petulantly and assumed an aura of waiting. "Oh very well. You and that irritatingly effective calm of yours."

Tachibana merely smiled and reached for his school bag.

"Of course," Atobe mused out loud. "There are other advantages to not helping you find your way around. I could keep you captive here forever."

"Ann would rescue me," Tachibana replied evenly. "Anyway, what about school?"

"You could come with me."

"To Hyoutei College?" Tachibana raised an eyebrow. "Well, perhaps that's not such a bad idea. I could throw some of my 'irritatingly effective calm' around and try to get your fellow students to stop doing each other down and work together."

Atobe paled. "The entire school structure would collapse. Please forget I suggested any such thing."

"Whatever you say," Tachibana said, agreeably, finally gathering everything together and straightening. "Now, was it sex and then breakfast you wanted, or breakfast and then sex?"

Atobe considered, and then pounced.

"Both."

End

A/N: Regarding getting around Atobe's house, I had this idea that you navigate it by era of paintings - the closer you get to the baroque works, the nearer you are to a bathroom, while Classics always mark exits, etc.

Oh, and NEVER AGAIN WILL I WRITE THIS PAIRING!!!
