Akfjkflflldjk I knew there was a reason I hadn't gone to sleep yet! :D ♥

This is gorgeous. Jun is so weary and weighted down and I love that he has Aiba and Nino there for him. I'm really looking forward to seeing you continue this! ♥♥♥

*SO MUCH RELIEF*

Angst causes me so much pain to write, even if I know why it's happening and how I'm resolving it. Har. I'm so happy to know you think it's good enough to see through. :)

Oooooo Go Jun!!! You can do it!! I really like this. Looking forward to the Sho fluff. ^^
I'll be joining your community, if that's alright. ;D

nicefinalbeam January 8 2009, 06:16:53 UTC

Yes, go Jun! If he doesn't succeed, I can't write Sho fluff (and I love writing Sho, ESPECIALLY Sho fluff!).

Joining is totally fine. Welcome, welcome. :D

"I don't want to be the comedy leader. I'm giving up," he informs them suddenly, but he isn't changing the subject, "Nothing seems funny anymore."

Oh, you! I love this about your writing so much. And your style is so well suited to Jun, too, with his watchfulness and the importance he places on things not said but understood. Sho's "Not possible" up there - or the way it shuts Jun down particularly - is perfect. This is Jun, guarded and a little hypersensitive, making himself reach out only to pull back if the water isn't exactly as he needs it. I also really like how this sets up a weird, formless tension between them. I can't wait to see how you handle this, I can tell already that it is going to be great.

Ah, that "not possible" is so very important.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You always give the best compliments. <3

AH REALLY? I have a guess now as to why, and it is totally reordering my reading of that exchange, omg!

nicefinalbeam January 8 2009, 06:34:42 UTC

Hmmn, it probably also helps if I say I based this story on Jun's Oshareism interview. LOL. People who have seen it might have an advantage here.

:D Soon.

This is beautiful. You wrote it perfectly ♥

While reading this, I actually wondered if you watched Jun's Oshaerism interview because he did mention that he fell for someone for 3 years (I'm not really sure) and he got rejected. My immediate reaction was what if it's Sho? O_O

nicefinalbeam January 8 2009, 07:14:18 UTC

That is EXACTLY what this is based on. Because my immediate reaction to him being young, liking someone for 3 years, who said it was impossible was... OH IT MUST BE SHO.

So here we are. :D

But I like happy endings, so we're heading in that direction.

alexiela January 8 2009, 07:23:11 UTC

It must be Sho! And my god, it must've hurt to be rejected...to be told it's impossible.

That's why I'm so happy you wrote this ♥

I'd like to think that Sho wanted to punch himself when Jun grew up into a splendid young man XD
