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!

I actually read this in the middle of a lecture which was a terrible mistake. People around me probably thought I was high, or drunk, because I kept having to stop myself from flailing and rolling around and just out right laughing out loud and squealing at some parts (notably - Shuntarou over-acting when playing a role, Nino and Yuriko talking about people's sex lives, Asuka's talk with Maki in the onsen - and noticing all her hickey's, Shuntarou dropping hints about the girl he likes, the moment in the receptionist office before they get caught, Shuntarou being dense as a rock in general, and really I could just quote the entire fic).

All the characters are so spot on, I really could imagine Asuka and Shuntarou pulling the faces and saying the lines you described and this goes for the entire cast. And I absolutely love how you managed to fit Arashi in along with their respective girls (and I giggled a bit at both Jun and Riisa being there). As I was reading I was just imagining the events playing out like an actual drama episode in my mind. And despite this being a Shuntarou x Asuka fic you still managed to fit in Shuntarou x Nitta bromance which is just amazing because obviously you can't have Lucky Seven without that - and Junpei being tease and bullied and Kayano's weirdness. I pretty much figured out the whole 'case' was probably a set up almost right away but I actually didn't suspect anything with Kayano's phon ecall, I thought she was just being weird until I re-read the fic again (because I did read it again right after getting home - and this time I had all the freedom to laugh and grin like a maniac throughout :D).

Really, thank you SO much for writing this. I will be re-reading this forever and ever because I truly adore this to bits and pieces.

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! ♥
