Okay, I don't quite know where to begin... or actually, how to appropriately phrase my appreciation. I'll try to wrap things nicely, but I might just babble incoherently. If that should happen, I apologize. But I'll try to convey my thoughts and feelings.
When I saw the prompt you picked in the summary, I was really excited. It was one of my favourites. As I read the story, I felt everything, chuckling, frowning, shaking my head, nodding my head, smiling... Reading this was so much fun. At times I was wondering if you had been in my head somehow, because there were so many things that I enjoy that weren't even in the prompt.
First, thank you for bottom Sho. 💖💖 It's not something you see often, but I LOVE that. Their entire journey of finding love is so endearing and so woven around the history they share, it was so realistic, just like something that could totally happen between them. I also very much appreciate the depiction of Sho-kun's family. Apparently you know them to a certain extend and the way you put them in the story was totally awesome.
So, for the first part of the story, the kinky smut was so hot. You can immediately feel that they are familiar with each other and that they are both really enjoying it. The way Jun pushes Sho to his limits, the way they work together, the way they each know how the other works. It was just awesome. The after bed scene then gives a first impression of the conflict. Sho's reluctance to see Jun leave just after their intimate act made me feel with him already. And then he receives a call in the middle of the night and of course, he rushes to Jun's rescue. I understand Jun's reservation, though. Being vulnerable and what-not, he might expose something unintentionally. I really like that the strength of his character is shown there. How that girl tried to trick him, but he worked his way out of that by himself.
As the story progresses, there's an impact the moment Sho actually realizes that his relationship to Jun is not what he wants. I absolutely adored their dinner scene. Their dynamics show so strongly there, how well they know and how much they appreciate and respect each other. How Jun pushes Sho just a bit and how Sho then confesses his feelings and their conversation that already reveals that they actually both feel the same say. But then, their fear getting in the way. Jun really hits a nerve with the thing about Sho's parents.
When Sho later hears Jun talking about the whole thing, I thought "Oh dear, please no". I feared the drama, but that never really came. And then the family dinner scene. When Jun showed up there, I grinned like mad. And the entire story of it. 💖💖 The dinner itself was lovely too. Sho's sister was absolutely awesome, her character is just the way I imagine it. The subtle acceptence that Jun receives feels very warm and real. Nobody says anything out loud, but the air is light and encouraging. This is my favourite part, I think.
The night Sho and Jun then spend together holds so much. I love how awkward they can be together, while at the same time they still feel that desire sparking between them. There are so many lovely details, like Jun's flawed skin that Sho appreciates, and how Jun blows Sho for the first time. All the things that show how their feelings have changed, all the things they want to share with each other. And their aftertalk... I really don't have the right words or it. It's just downright wonderful.
Thank you, anon-san, for writing this awesome story for me. It had everything and more than I could have wished for. Thank you!
From the first time I read your sign-up, I got instantly attracted to this prompt. Knowing that you liked what I came up with made me so happy!
Bottom!Sho needs more love in fic, tbh. ;D And thank you! I am so happy that you find it realistic. But then again it's too easy to play with that aspect of relationship when it's Sho and Jun we're talking about. ;D And for the family part: I must confess that I have almost no idea about how Sakurai family really is, but reading recent news (e.g. Sho buying his father a villa), I tried to imagine how it's actually like inside the family. :D
Another confession: I was so happy when I read spanking in your kink list because what's better to open a fic than a hot Sakumoto sex, right? ;D and I'm glad that you found it enjoyable too. :D
The confession part was the hardest part to write, honestly. I know what they're going to say to each other, but they just won't say it despite the situation I've put them. Thank Jun for finally giving the nudge for Sho to admit his feelings. xD
:D To be honest I don't like to put drama where it wasn't necessary, and in that part Sho didn't do anything about it because it was a public place. But then they couldn't really talk about that later, so dumb. xD Aaah the dinner was my favorite part too! xD because they could finally talk and solve their problems. I wanted to show that Sho's family wouldn't oppose him if he really knows what he's doing, and I'm glad that you like that part the most. :D
And yeaay I'm glad the last part is enjoyable for you too! :D
Thank you for putting that prompt on your sign-up. I've been wanting to write something like this for quite some time but couldn't find the motivation I need. Your sign-up came to me like the answer of my prayer LOL.
