   Summary

   Ouma Kokichi, competitive Dance Dance Revolution player, is on the fast track to burnout. He has cleared every song in the game and holds all the machine records at his local game center. His skill is unmatched, his tournament records full of victories. And he's getting bored because, as much as he loves winning, it's no fun if there's no worthy competition.

   Until Saihara Shuichi walks into the Ikebukuro Round 1 and turns everything Kokichi thought he knew upside down.

   (A rivals-to-lovers AU with a healthy dose of DDR community culture, because no one ever writes DDR right in fics.)
