Made it with 2 hours and 7 minutes to spare! ^_^*

Title: The Value of Normalcy
Word Count: ~700
Characters: Inui, Renji. (Honestly not sure whether this is Data Pair or gen. :P)
Notes: Written for their birthdays in 2008. Short and relatively plotless. Years and years down the line, here is one potential happy ending.

I loves you. :) I unfortunately, haven't had time to write a fic for the boys, but I've at least seen a couple written for them. ^.^

And Oh, Renji slowly but surely taking over Inui's office :) So, so cute.

And I doubt Inui could explain Renji's thesis. Really, even if he says he could, he would no doubt fail.

[haruyuki]

I know -- so many ficlets written for them this year, and an actual celebration, too. Glad you found this, though. ♥

*laughs* I just about killed myself trying to put together Renji's thesis, so hopefully Inui shouldn't be able to just jump in there and explain everything right off. (Subconsciously, though, he probably does think that last line he quoted could be somehow applied to their current situation. :D)

One thing I like about this pairing, is that even what seems to be gen conversation can be read as foreplay between them as long as it's intellectual--just because it's them. So I'm going to go ahead and read all the subtext I want into your fic XD

Either way, I loved it XD I always loved the idea of them getting their doctorates at the same Uni.

[haruyuki]

xDD That is so very true; I think I'm actually reading it that way in my mind, too. ^_^*

Thanks for reading, and very glad that you liked! ♥

I keep wanting to comment on how artistic your writing is but I keep getting stuck when I picture a professor inui with his white shirt tucked in and his tie and his bit of stubble and his coffee pots and stupid inui.

the part with the shougi board was cute. I think I'm gonna read it again now

[haruyuki]

xDD If professor Inui came and worked in our lab building, I think I'd develop a crush on him within five seconds of seeing him.

Thank you, and glad you liked this! ^_^*

Aw. I thought that was very sweet, and could be taken either way.

[haruyuki]

Aww...thank you. ♥

They can be very sweet, in general. *pats them*

[longleggedgit]

This is SO FANTASTIC!! I love the way you write these two. I have a really hard time grasping them in my head but you've got them down so effortlessly here. :)

[haruyuki]

*laughs* It was definitely...not effortless, but glad that it came together fine at the end. Thank you for reading! ^_^*

[longleggedgit]

Haha, well hey, coming off as effortless is the only important part. :D
