Oh my God, Mec. This is gorgeous. I love your unsure Yamato and how we get to see how he see's Ren, how he's in love with him but terrified of admitting it to him because he knows Ren's not ready to hear it. I also love how vulnerable he is here-the bit with his parents and the way you tie it in with how he can't stop thinking about Ren and what that means to him.

This was so lovely and just ahh. It put a huge smile on my face. But now you should make up for the slight angst with lots of fluffy Yamato/Ren fic! :DDD

I like the icon, but damned if I can remember which of the guys that is with Ren...

You pretty much *are* my target audience for this one, so I'm glad you enjoyed it, Sarah! Poor Yamato. I did not mean for that stuff about his family to slip in there but one thing led to another and when it comes to angst...in for a penny, in for a pound. Ren'll be there for him, though. ^_^

Hah, I've done my bit. Your turn next, missy! ;-)

Wow. Just wow. I just love how Yamato's quiet observation turned into love without being weird or cheesy. It just felt...natural. <33

[notaverse]

Thank you. I was hoping it would come off like that, not seeming too unexpected or dramatic. ^_^

This is an amazing character study on Yamato. The way you describe his feelings and thoughts work incredibly, and I like the line you slipped in about Ren's attention seeking colors. When it comes to a full circle, where Yamato admits he likes being looked at like that from Ren, I think my heart melted with squee. It doesn't feel too angsty too me; Yamato doesn't seem to think about what woe his life is without Ren. He seems perfectly content to stay by Ren's side like he is, even if he secretly wants more.

But great job! <3

Oh good - I hoped that if a moment like that had that kind of effect on me, it would on someone else, too! I think the last line is my favourite, actually.

True; perhaps 'contemplation' would be better than 'angst' as a category, since Yamato's hardly pining away! As you say, he's content for now - something is always better than nothing, and if he wants more he's going to have to make a move to obtain it.

Thanks for commenting, and I'm very pleased you enjoyed it! ^_^

Ahh, this is an amazing fic! I've been hoping some good Gokusen 3 fic would pop up, and hee, it did. :D You've got Yamato's character down perfectly, I think. It's awesome! *claps!*

[notaverse]

Wow, thank you! I don't know about *good* fic, seeing as how it's my first time writing in this fandom (I generally stick to Akame and variations thereof), but I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

hee hee this was a great work of art!

so... sequel..? Ren's point of view? ^^ the revelation and getting together? *wink*

[notaverse]

Thanks! ^_^

Hmm...maybe when I get back from holiday... ;-)
