Summary
Years into their training at Sinegard Academy, Nezha and Rin break their unspoken rule to ignore each others' existence. They agree to spar, but years of resentment can't stay hidden below the surface for long.
Sparring soon turns into something a little less like sparring, and a little more like physical desire. But are those two things really all that different?
~Heed the tags, please~

Summary
Nezha hates second place. He grew up in second place behind his brother, but Sinegard Academy was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be his chance to prove he is the best. So when he gets second place behind Rin (of all people) in the First Year Combat Tournament, he realizes he has to do something drastic to earn first place: train with the only person who can beat him.
A Poppy War re-write, but I forced Rin and Nezha to be friends in Sinegard.
