Same thing it is with Rei/Usagi and Spock/Kirk.  They're especially
close friends and thus natural candidates for slash.

So, when can we expect a Soun/Genma fic?

LOL.

Well, I am writing Soun's memoirs (sp?), so how about the following?

(Apologies for the formatting, or lack thereof.)

I considered the stolen goods idly, rubbing a soft, silky pair between my
fingers.  There was that girl back in Tokyo (what was her name?); I wish I
had stolen something from her.  And I don't mean panties.

Genma stumbled into the camp just then, covered with a thin, glistening
layer of sweat and breathing hard.  His muscled had grown the past year; I
felt a twinge of jealousy at how his biceps strained against their
containing skin.

I was hardly weak myself -- could almost hold my own against the Sensei --
but Genma was so dedicated, so engulfed in the art...

"Tendo-san!" he said jovially, sitting next to me.  "What's bugging you?"

I shook my head.  Five years on the road now, five years of sleeping next to
him every night.  Five years of hearing the Sensei's tales of depravity.
Yet I could not say it.

He must have sensed my hesitation.  "Soun," he said, and I was surprised,
perhaps from the seriousness in his voice, or perhaps the familiarity with
which he addressed me.  "Soun," he said, "what's wrong, my friend."

"I-" I tried.  I looked into his eyes, fearful that he might see what lay
within my soul.  "I lo-"

He looked into my eyes, and saw indeed my soul and my heart.  But there was
no rejection from him, only understanding and...

A reflection.

Maybe he moved to me, maybe I moved to him.  All I know for sure is that our
lips met as we drew together in a searing embrace.  By the time we pulled
apart, gasping for air, I found myself hoping it wasn't all a dream.
"Genma," I whispered.

"Soun," he answered.

It was everything I could have asked for.

Apologies to Dreiser for the blatant plagarism...  I'm just no good at the
mushy stuff ^_^;
