bonnefoisTitle: king of hearts
Day/Theme: May 23th / sooner or later he brings up the Templars
Series: Tenipuri
Character/Pairing: Tezuka/Fuji
Rating: G
A/N: but I am leeee tiiiiiired! (i.e. not betaed. Tired. v. unsleep)
Often they would play like this, after work. To unwind, Fuji will often relate the happenings of the day while Tezuka shuffles the cards, telling each dalliance and occurrence, each anecdote to pass the time. Fuji always enjoys this chance to make Tezuka his captive audience– but when it is his turn to shuffle the cards, Fuji will listen and bait Tezuka into opening up.
Sometimes they play blackjack or poker. (Fuji often brings bets to the table, and on more than one occasion Tezuka has found them both stripped down to boxers, Fuji grinning triumphantly at him.) Like many things Tezuka keeps Fuji on his toes while playing – especially as nobody can pull off a poker face like Tezuka.
And sometimes, even, Fuji will play solitaire, and sometimes Tezuka will watch, pointing each move which Fuji might miss.
Tonight it ended at an impasse. Tezuka reached to shuffle the cards again.
“When it starts you might have a good hand, everything is going perfectly but one thing catches and puts it at a stand still – But then you start over.” Fuji muses.
After every fight Fuji will bring him the deck. “Shuffle it” he’ll say. I want to start over
And Tezuka will, eyes closed his hands moving fast yet steady over the thick paper of the cards.
Then again, the game was never about winning or losing, those were only stops along the way.

I loved this sentence because it's so true:
"Then again, the game was never about winning or losing, those were only stops along the way." ♥
