You know, in all seriousness, as close as they are, they don't ping me as slashy at all.
I agree, actually. They're very sweet, but they strike me as close friends who maybe don't have much in common outside of tennis. I thought it might be my mind perversely refusing to acknowledge an overly obvious ship, but if other people (who aren't invested in the idea that everyone in the series is heterosexual) also see the Golden Pair as platonic, maybe not.
I imagine that every morning Inui phones up Tezuka and tells him his plans, updating him throughout the day as required.
:D! I hope so.
Maybe Inui Juice is like this chakra-balancing juice my mum got from her, um, chakra nutritionist: the more unbalanced your chakra, the worse the juice will taste, but after you've been drinking it long enough for it to make a difference, it starts (apparently) tasting good. Inui's chakra, and maybe Fuji's, is just impeccably balanced, like his workout regime & his meal plans; Eiji's and Momo's, on the other hand, are so far off that they'll pass out after a sip. :D
I like the idea of data as extreme canon-checking, though. Oh, Inui. <3. Now I'm imagining the fic everyone writes about their fellow PoT kids, and it's distressing--Fuji and his Yuuta-comes-home/Mizuki-bashing wish-fulfillment fic (scary love indeed), Mizuka's self-insert porn involving all three Fuji siblings, Kamio's reimagining of Tachibana as the buddha, Rikkai's bible AU epic featuring Yukimura as Jesus, Atobe casting himself as Batman....
