Lovely! :D I think you've got a very good grasp of their characters, especially considering the circumstances (this being your first fic about them and there being comparatively little canon material to judge them by). There were so many moments I loved - Kuroto trying to catch the bus and being led back inside by Senshiro, for example. The kind of moments we don't know occurred in their history, but that I can so easily imagine did, thanks to your excellent writing. <3

The way Kuroto answered the phone without moving Senshiro's hand away from his face was wonderful. It strikes me as so typical of him - accepting Senshiro's love, but passively, without initiating the gestures or acting as if he wants them, when really he relies on them so much. The two of them have such a strange understanding - in some ways, each knows exactly how the other feels about him and doesn't need to say or hear it, in other ways they're too vulnerable and unsure of where they stand with one another. I think you conveyed that well.

I want to gush some more, but I'll restrain myself. Thanks for this! I enjoyed it very much.

askjdhsjkhd thank you! I really appreciate the kind words. I'm glad they seemed in character, especially since the first bit of writing for them is always so tentative while I get used to their characters...I loved the idea of Kuroto trying to leave Senshirou but in the end being unable to actually get on the bus and leave...and only finally able to go when Senshirou is there to guide him. SIGH. I love the struggle of that.

I definitely see Kuroto as being the type to passive accept Senshirou's love. I think he doesn't really no what to do, and kinda rebels, whenever Senshirou is too forward^^
