The only reason we've never seen Ore-sama in leather pants is because he didn't get enough screen time. I am confident that had the opportunity come up, as it were, he would have strutted around proudly in the most form-fitting leather trousers he could find.
In other news, my brain was /totally/ broken by this Tezuka/Fuji/Ryoma/Sanada/Atobe 0T5 fic posted on tenipuri_yaoi yesterday. I had dreams about it. I only read it as a lark, but now every time I close my eyes I see Atobe standing there waiting impatiently for his turn while any of the other two go at it. He's tapping his foot. And referring to himself in the third person.
btw, I have a friend now living in Japan (ie pretty fluent) and "ore-sama" is just... an amazingly over-the-top way to refer to yourself. The closest comparison he could give me was someone going around calling themselves "king penis" ie not socially acceptable behavior.
(another bit of wisdom from him: "InuKai" sounds like "dog owner" inu=dog kai=to keep as a pet)
Wow, I always figured "ore-sama" was pretty flamboyant, but I didn't realise how much. I remember hearing Eiji talk about "Kikumaru-sama's acrobatics" at one point -- I think in first year. I wonder how that compares.
And re "InuKai" -- that's pretty cute, actually. :)
Putting "-san" after your own name is very rude, it's like you think you're better than anyone else, and you're insulting the people you're talking to. But using "-sama" for yourself, wow, it's so over the top! I think not even the emperor could get away with it. That's what makes Atobe so irresistibmy funny.
In my head, I tend to translate Ore-sama by "wonderful me", but mostly because it reminds me of Gilderoy Lockhart. ^__^
Regarding the lack of Atobe + leather pants: There's a AMV where of Birthday and Rock54 (word that... somehow...). In Rock 54 the Hyotei joins in with the Seigaku in a live concert thing. Atobe is wearing leather pants.

Ohgod. I can see it. I can completely see it. *dies some more, and whips out the Atobe icon just for this occasion*
