Title:
Tea and Reading the Atmosphere (scroll down)
Author: Anon.
Type: Fic.
Status: Complete.
Characters, Pairings: Japan/England
Rating: 3 Stars.
Original Request: So I was reading an article about the similarities between Japan and England, and this sentence came up: "Britons and Japanese alike organize their lives around small, secular rituals like cups of tea, talk about the weather to avoid talking about their feelings, and so forth."
So. Anon would love to see Japan and England doing that while England stays over at Japan's for a night: avoiding their feelings for each other over tea and small talk. Up to author if it's an already established relationship or it doesn't exist yet. But somehow, I don't care how, all that restrained passion and emotion all comes out and tea is spilled and sex is had right there on top of the tea table. Right there.
Bonus: Japan tops. Hard. And England loves it.
Bonus 2: Japan really likes to watch England - watch himself touching England, watch England's reaction, he just loves to watch him, and that is apparent in the fic.
Summary: It's nice to have an ally who understands the importance of rituals. With tea, anyway.
