Summary: Fuji makes good use of his camera while the team climbs a mountain to see the sunrise.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of PoT, but boy do I wish I owned Oishi!
Author's notes: I wrote this after listening to Fuji's song "Shaata chansu wa ichido" (One chance for a picture, or something like that) It's written from Fuji's POV
"WHAT?!" is the exclamation I hear from many of my teammates. Guess they're not really into Oishi's mountain climbing idea. We're all tired from a long practice session. Perfect. I smile and chime in.
"I think it's a great idea. I'm in."
We sit on the train, well on our way there. I pull out my camera and snap a few shots of us on the train. There is one scene in particular that catches my attention as I look through the viewfinder. My best friend Eiji is sitting in his seat, excitedly calling for us to join the card game. Right behind him is his partner Oishi, standing there looking steady as...well, a rock. I quickly click the shutter to capture the moment. I smile and gesture to Tezuka to join the poker game. As we play, I think back to that photo that I took. That's the way things have always been for them, hasn't it? Others may not notice, but I definitely do. They're more than just a doubles team...no, they're much more than that, although they probably haven't admitted it to themselves yet. Tezuka once told me that the old captain asked him to be the pillar of support for Seigaku [1], a role that he has filled admirably. I can tell that all Oishi wants to be is that pillar of support for Eiji, and Eiji wouldn't have it any other way. Somehow I didn't see these things until I looked at them through the lens of my camera, as though it has filtered out everything that might obscure those feelings. Or maybe it's because they're too tired to put up those defences. My smile grows slightly...yes, this was a perfect idea.
As we wait for the sun to come up, Oishi looks worried. He's afraid that he's dragged us all up here, and we won't get to see the sunrise. Even though the sunrise would be great to see, I think it's still worth us coming here. I've made good use of my camera, and everyone's tired state makes them just that much more vulnerable. Oishi's shoulders slump in disappointment, and he sighs. In a flash, Eiji is at his side trying to cheer him up. I can't hear what they're saying though. Eiji's voice is unusually quiet. He's whispering something into the vice-captain's ear, their bodies very close. I pick up my camera quietly, feeling a bit like a voyeur spying on two lovers. They don't even notice as the shutter clicks. Was that a blush that I saw on Oishi's cheeks? Tezuka shoots me a look that would make ordinary men grovel. Instead I continue to smile, and shrug my shoulders slightly.
Whatever Eiji said seems to have its desired effect. Oishi's shoulders straighten and there is a wistful smile on his face. Eiji is beaming at him, and they share a look of understanding.

Tezuka shoots me another look. I understand what he's trying to say to me. I am going to take that camera away from you if this persists...leave those two alone. I raise my eyebrow and continue to smile. Ah...so you've known all this time... Tezuka nods almost imperceptibly, and I lower my camera. There will be more chances in the future.
"There it is!! The sunrise!"
Oishi's excited voice breaks through the early morning quiet. Eiji is right there with him, staring at the scenery with pure joy. Oishi wasn't disappointed in the end, and that's why Eiji is that much happier. As the sunlight bathes them in its warm light, they forget where they are and hug each other, jumping up and down like children. They laugh and cheer together.
I can't help it. I raise my camera and capture the truly golden moment. Tezuka's face is stern. I know I'm going to get laps for this later, but I don't care. It was worth it. There really was just one chance for that shot.
Yes...this trip was perfect...
