the case of the missing phonecall, or: favourable outcome (≈12 300 words)
by cimorene
prince of tennis
tezuka/ryoma, pg
thanks to bookshop for the title and the original idea, as well as the beta.

in which tezuka and inui form a truce, ryoma shares tezuka's preference for mysteries over gothic romances, and tezuka keeps giving ryoma his phone number.

This is all kinds of awesome, oh my god! I loved that you used Inui to get them together in the first place, I loved the Wuthering Heights bits, I loved Tezuka writing on Ryoma's arm (Gods...♥), but most of all I loved THIS:

"Buchou," he said. He always lingered on the title, as if to leave space around it for the unspoken remainder of a sentence Tezuka could never fully understand.

and THIS:

the way he said "buchou" as if it were a mark of familiarity, like Tezuka's first name, instead of a title.

That's so perfect! I've been smiling ever since I read this fic, thank you! ♥

i love inui, and he was demanding to be allowed to be a fuji ex machina for once. also, i felt a little guilty about fuji always having that role... although as you see he didn't escape it entirely. i just love him too much that way. XD i'm glad you share my ryoma-saying-buchou kink. i guess most fans of this pairing probably do, but still, i just never get tired of it. ♥ thanks for your feedback!
