Fuji/Tezuka, Fuji/Yumiko

"Tezuka..." Fuji speaks quietly, not wanting to destroy the atmosphere before the match. Tezuka is alone in the locker room, intently staring at his racket. It's unusual for him to be in such deep thought.
"Mmm?" He asks absently. Fuji takes this as an invitation to sit down beside him.
"I want to ask you something."
"So ask." Tezuka says. "Make it quick; you should be warming up."
"I will do so," Fuji acknowledges, "after I've asked you this. It's just not an easy thing to say... Did you want this match between us for selfish reasons?"
"Selfish reasons?" Tezuka blinks, and looks up. "Like what?"
The fact that he really has no idea what Fuji might even mean makes him feel reassured already. Fuji doesn't believe Tezuka is that good of an actor.
"Perhaps, an ego boost." Fuji shrugs. "You're the top in our team, in our school. In most tournaments. It's agiven that you're probably going to win-"
"I don't feel that way at all, I hope you know." Tezuka says sternly. "If I thought this was going to be a clear-cut win, I would not have bothered."
Fuji nods. "That's what I hoped. I just wanted to make sure. After... Echizen..."
He can't complete his thought. While neither of them are jealous of Echizen's achievements; he is talented and getting what he deserves, they can't help but think wistfully of what they are missing out on. Whether for the glory or the thrill.
"I wasn't going to use you as an ego-booster." Tezuka repeats firmly.
"Well then, the opposite end of the scale... Are you going to use me simply to improve yourself?" Fuji asks. "If you believe I can do that."
Tezuka nods. "If that is a selfish reason, then I believe I must be." He stands up. "But I would like you to know, I hope to improve your game just as much as I hope you will improve mine. I like to think of it as something we can do for one another."

"I don't like him." Yumiko says, arms folded across her chest like a warning barrier. "He is unapproachable, aloof and overconfident."
"Everything you wish you could be sometimes?" Fuji asks teasingly. "Tezuka has every right to be confident; his skills are beyond compare."
"He compared you to himself, or so you put it to me."
"Ah well, things are changing." Fuji says by way of explanation.
"I know." Yumiko says as coherently as she can with her lips pressed together in a thin line. "I saw it coming. I see it all. I know he will take you away from me eventually."
"No-one will take me away from you, Yumi-chan."
"Not completely, just in certain ways." The set of her eyes makes it clear what it is she is referring to; that which can't be spoken in public, as they are. Fuji lowers his voice to quieter than normal when he replies.
"If we were meant to be together, we wouldn't have been born to the same blood."
Yumiko looks unconvinced, and tells him so pointedly.
"What is sharing blood if not the closest bond of all?"
