Because I’m not doing je_holiday. I was wondering what to do about this but I ended up writing this instead. I... actually don’t like it.
( Jun decides to bypass the fist of people just beyond the set after his fourth consecutive bow; Jun is usually unfailingly polite but the echinacea he’d taken in the morning hasn’t worked as well as it usually does and he just wants to close his eyes for a moment. )

Seriously. How do you write like this. How. Your style is so distinctive, so - like, when I read it just makes me selfishly grateful that you are here writing Arashi fic and I get to read it and just. Your depiction of them, I've never read anything like it. When I read it after posting let the light in I was thinking, oh dear lord what have I done, because, this. This. I swear.
I'm still going to massively fail at leaving more specific comments because, idk. This messed me up thoroughly, I forced myself to read every word and feel it (which resulted in the previous paragraph as you can see). I think I could read it a few more times and feel different things on each read, and each time would hit me just as hard.
Please, don't sell yourself short. I know you don't like the ending, but personally I thought it was very appropriate. (This is where my inadequacy comes in, I just don't know how to talk about things like that.) It feels right, you know? It could probably be more rounded out, but then again most things could and sometimes a spur of the moment is all you need to get it right, to get so few words down that say so much. It could be longer, more complete, more - resolution-like, but I confess to loving it as it is in all its quiet turmoil and raw intensity and slight bit of incomprehensibility. How things are still complicated. Maybe it's me, but I really admire and love that, I want to do that, for God's sake. I'm going to save this for rereading for reasons that I've said above.
Your style, it really gets me. I kept wanting to quote lines back at you but what's the point if I end up quoting like seventy percent of the fic. Ugh. One day I will hopefully, hopefully be able to talk about your writing style in a more articulate manner that will do it justice, but meanwhile, give yourself due credit and don't stop writing ♥♥♥
