Late [Prince of Tennis: Fuji/Tezuka]
Fuji/Tezuka, and the ticking hands of time. 118 words.
-
I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jollier than the people who have to wait for them. -- E. V. Lucas

Tezuka knows as well as anyone that Fuji is not an unreliable person. He is not the kind to be late often, and not without good reason. But every single time they meet up, Fuji is last to appear out of the two of them. And always after the time set on their watches. Tezuka isn't the kind to check the ticking hands avidly, but eventually he comes to notice that it is always after exactly three minutes past the arranged time, that Fuji strolls into view from down the street. And that is when he begins to realise it is carefully arranged so, just for Fuji to see if he can drive Tezuka nuts by doing it.
