AT LAST! The NataPasu train is leaving the station~ :D

It was really refreshing to finally read another take on them, and yet it still...was completely them *___* I love the inevitable little snippy comments and fighting and all that has to come before they can be friends again, but then some of the little things just...sent me over the moon ;_;

"I didn't want you to leave me there, so I did what I had to do. That's it, okay? I'm just as bad as you. So you can stop feeling bad for yourself now and just... be mad at me instead, or something."

It's funny, because I feel like you're supposed to feel sorry more for Nataraja in the show, but reading this made me realize that I really feel bad more for Pasupata I guess? ;_;

And sdiufhsidfs the eye comments XD And Nataraja never having noticed before and sdiufhsidfs Jamiiiieeeee. Especially the bit at the end with this:

"So you really meant that about my eyes?" Pasupata says eventually, after the light from the lamp has all but faded away to nothing, leaving them in relative darkness.

Nataraja's fingers flex a little under Pasupata's as his friend laughs. "I guess so, yeah."

"No one's ever said anything like that to me before," Pasupata observes, curious.

"Of course they haven't," Nataraja says with a tight little laugh.

"Right."

"I bet they will now though."

Pasupata tightens his grip on his friend's hand. "So what?"

"So you better get used to hearing it."

"I'm fine if it's just you," he says quietly, honestly, then laughs a little. "I don't know about anyone else though."

JUST. GOD. So...innocent, I think? But a little flirty? And the hand-holding certainly doesn't help *___* That really gets me, for some reason--holding hands ♥

I'm gonna need a ton more out of you, missy :(

I'm SO glad you liked this, and so glad too that it felt like them~ ^___^ Honestly this came almost too easily, so I was worried, lol. I think I somehow managed to write this without dealing with anything Indian at all too, so... BONUS? :P Or maybe not, it could probably stand to have more of those details for authenticity...and stuff. :P

Anyway. :D I'm really glad you liked it. And of course, I felt worse for Pasupata, though I know what you mean about how in the show at least, the focus is kind of on Nataraja with the whole "secrets" thing coming out. But... yeah. Pasupata~ ;__; It's just such a sacrifice that he makes, you know? Because yeah, they both lied for years and years, but his lie had more...concrete consequences? It's just the sort of thing that he wouldn't ever be able to forget about, I guess. Nataraja really must have meant a LOT to him to have kept that going for so long. *_________*

And that part at the end I totally saw as being innocent and flirty too~ It's so much fun to be able to do that, just since it's so different from...how it would've gone with TxN, I guess? XD

Ohhhh, I think there will be more. XD I'm totally planning on rewatching the show this weekend and...plotting. :D
