I'd love to see where this fic is going, if it continues. :)

Ato/Tezu is a very intriguing and nice pairing, especially when they are written in a somewhat more serious mode like this. Sure, there's communication issues between these two - Tezuka bottling everything up inside, Atobe's carefully-maintained public facade to protect his "private" self... but that's what provides for good writing... :)
