There was a brief silence, broken by Kayano's mutter away from her phone, "What kind of food do people eat in Tokyo?"

God I love Kayano. She's so fricking adorable!

...

Nino and Yuriko discussing Asuka and Shuntaro's sex life? CLASSIC. Simultaneously sweet and sexy and hawwwt. Did I mention hawwwt? Because HAWWWWWWWWT.

"Mm, but Becky-chan has more to climb than I do," Yuriko said thoughtfully.

"More to climb, maybe, but less to ride," Nino said wickedly.

LOL!

...

She felt comfortable and defenseless all at once, caught between wanting to gossip with him as usual and wanting to tell him that he was her type, even though he wasn't, really; she just liked him so much that she didn't care.

Awww, Asuka-chan. Tell him! Tell him!

...

He was reliable, and he was generous, and he looked mouthwatering in jeans and a leather jacket.

Hell yes!

...

Looking a little less cool and a little more bewildered, he asked, "What do you need twenty minutes for

I was hesitant going into writing this, and throughout the writing I had a lot of worries, so it is understatement when I say that I am so glad you like this fic. Because it is for you! ♥ Thank you so much for your truly excellent comments. I always love it when people quote and flail like that, fjdslkfsdjalkfdsa, it makes me really happy. You have made me smile many times and with relief and happiness. Thank you so much! ♥

Do I love you? Or do I love you? This is that amazing. The whole Lucky Seven cast's characterization is perfect! Shuntaro overacting whenever he's acting on a role, Asuka worrying about Dai-chan being treated like a dog, NItta escaping whenever he knew he was about to be pummeled, Junpei being Junpei (he's my fave so...), Kayano actually asking what food does people eat in Tokyo, Tsukushi-san and his golden nickname, and Touko-san and her plans (SHE'S THE BOSS

fsdlkfdsjlka YAY, I am so glad the Lucky Seven characterization worked for you! I have very little experience writing stuff that isn't RPF, so I worried a lot about the drama character side of this drama fic. Thank you for giving little props for bits of each Lucky Seven character I wrote, that makes me so so happy. :D

Hee, oh no, reading this in a public place! :D It pleases me that this fic gave you those kind of reactions, though, definitely. And of course there had to be some Nitta and Shuntaro banter, too~ <3<3

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! ♥

I don't even have the words to express how much I adored reading this. So many things that I love came together in this story so I'll just list them

[phrenk]

A list of things you like, jfdlsk, hooray! Lucky Seven was fun to write. Lots of banter and hijinks. :D I am so pleased the characterization worked for you

You have no idea how happy I am. Ever since the drama I've been wishing and hoping and praying for Lucky Seven fic but I kind of accepted the fact that no one would ever write it because drama fics aren't all that common (unless they're crossovers) - and I had even less hope for Lucky Seven Het fic because everyone's been jumping around Nitta x Shuntarou (which I like too but Shuntarou x Asuka is pure gold in itself too) but then I SAW THIS. And even better - not only is it Lucky Seven (which is already pure awesome) but Shuntarou x Asuka and honestly amazing and more than I could've asked for

[phrenk]

There really are so few drama fics! I think there should be more. :D I'm glad that the one I wrote could satisfy some of your cravings! ♥

Hee, oh no! In the middle of a lecture! It makes me happy that you had such good reactions, though, and thanks for giving me some specific examples. ♥

I'm so glad the characterization worked for you, and I am not at all surprised that you weren't deceived by the case, ahaha. Suspense is not my strong point. :D I'm glad you liked it despite that!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! ♥

So much love! I thoroughly enjoyed how much of the characters you got to know in this, from all the Lucky Seven characters to the Arashi/Jgirls and their relationships. Absolutely amazing! I love how Shuntaro hinted throughout the fic about this girl he likes (how not subtle he was about it) and how the Asuka/Shuntaro relationship evolves through this but still stays the same, even with the kissing (as evidenced by the office scene at the end). I really did love the sidecharacters and their relationships and how each one was different (and omg, Nino/Yuriko's conversation about Asuka/Shuntaro's love life and the BEST ONE LINER "More to climb, maybe, but less to ride," Nino said wickedly. I HOWLED.) All in all, this was absolutely amazing work and thank you so much for writing this! ♥♥

[phrenk]

Shuntaro is certainly not a subtle individual, that dork. <3<3 I'm glad all those things worked for you! I had a lot of fun writing that Nino/Yuriko scene for sure, fjdslkafdsa.

Thank you so much for this comment! ♥
