This made me smile. Especially this bit:

Tezuka opened his mouth to explain that really it had more to do with the fact that Seigaku's tennis team barely managed to go to the bathroom alone, let aside take up solitary hobbies

Oh, Seigaku. ♥

Thank you very much! That line was one of my favorites to write; I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I loved Tezuka's conversation with Atobe and the idea of Touya doing any sort of exercise always makes me laugh. Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much! I haven't watched much of the HnG anime (though I've read the manga twice through now), but one of the scenes I remember best is when Touya goes chasing after Hikaru and just can't catch his breath afterwards. That was very inspirational when I started plotting this story. :-)

Ah Tezuka: free babysitting service. Seigaku are kind of sweeet sometimes. Loved your Atobe as well.

I find Seigaku absurdly adorable, what with the codependency and the homoerotic friendships and the way they careen between maturity and picking fights like kindergarteners. Thanks so much for the comment!

"...because I'm being chased by a man with a knife."

LOL. This story is full of great lines for both the Hikago and POT characters. Very amusing.
