Beautiful. Thank you so much for filling my prompt even better than I imagined. I'd sort of pictured how frustrating the silence would be for Hiromasa, but the way you have that melting into the total rightness of the shared silence is breath-taking.

Here with Seimei, he can just be. It’s an incredible freedom

I feel sorry for people who don't have realationships like that.
Thank you so much for writing this one out.

I feel sorry for people who don't have relationships like that.

WHAT. R U MAGICIAN OR SUMTHN?
*just finished your other Onmyouji fic and this appears like some Heian foxmajic thingy out of nowhere*

*goes off to read*

Woah. *exhales* I don't know if words are enough or right to describe the sort of gravity this piece has. I think this has to be the quintessential Hiromasa/Seimei fic you've written in terms of summing their relationship up in one fic -- of how sometimes Seimei (and his actions) can be mysterious or weird to some, but Hiromasa always trusts him without asking much, and how he can read Seimei better than others (hence the trust? Or therefore the trust?), that each treasure something about the other and it brings them together (albeit their very contrasting characters) -- and especially in this fic, where Hiromasa stepped into what that was essentially Seimei's zone ('silence' as space), and feel comfortable there yet being very much himself (I always see Hiromasa as someone who enjoys new experiences and takes very well to new surroundings, however peculiar they can get), so comfortable he actually falls asleep in Seimei's presence, feeling safe

Thank you. I'm really, really glad this one spoke to you. It's definitely a headspace fic for me, and to achieve that kind of headspace requires infinite trust. Looking at it that way, I suppose this is the most romantic fic I've written (or could write) for this pairing.

It's definitely a headspace fic for me, and to achieve that kind of headspace requires infinite trust.
That really came through, and I think therein lies the beauty of this fic -- your Seimei and Hiromasa have always shown an amazing level of trust in all the fics you've written, but this fic just brings it to another level altogether.

Still love this even after an umpteenth read <3

Very interesting. I love how you weave it that when something that apparently makes up a huge part of Hiromasa's personality is given up (with a little coaxing) he almost seems to slip into a sort of headspace. Very very interesting, and flows really well! Great fic. You make me more and more curious about this fandom and the source material XD

[glitterburn]

Thanks! You're absolutely right, it is a headspace fic. Quite a few of my K-B fills have been headspace fics, funnily enough. Maybe it's all the trance music I've been listening to, I just get into a zone - and actually I spaced myself out when writing this fic LMAO

The films are well worth watching, btw. LOL special effects but slashy as hell.

[glitterburn]

Thank you :) I'm more of a dialogue person so I'm glad this worked for you with a total absence of chatter.

[glitterburn]

Thanks ^^

And it does indeed mean that, along with looking at you then looking away. LOL proper flirting!

That must be weird, it's like RPF with permission of the real people! Actually I would change the names in the manga, so even if everyone knows it's about your friend and that guy, it's not explicitly stated as them - that way they can both save face. Unless of course she's doing this to show the guy she's interested in him and hopes for a reaction. Still, I would change the names.
