LOL I don't think that song suits the story's mood. XD But that IS a good song, and, yes, unfortunately Ryo could not get rid of that only video left (possibly) of him being 4 foot tall. XD

GOD they need to bring it back for news/kanjani8 concerts. =="

[inappropri8]

i know! that's seriously the only video i could find on youtube. i know i've seen a clearer, longer one where arashi backdances for him, but i couldn't find it. it must be his doing, of course.

[ayumwu]

CLEARLY. xDDDD His days as a Johnny would end if Nino ever gets his grubby hands on that clip. XDDDDDD

I love your header, btw. ;D

[inappropri8]

ryo's not been on shounen club premium, right? i bet the only reason is because he knows that video's going to be played and he doesn't want it to be shown again.

oh, thanks! i spent, like, an hour in photoshop stitching the two scans together so that you couldn't tell that it was split down the middle so much.

[freepureangel]

Wow,
that was seriously RyoUchi?
I read it as RyoDa.
LOL.

but anyways,
so dammn vague!
DDD:

but so sweet!
i can't even figure out who's who.
anyways.

i made ueda the one who died, and ryo the one who lived.
actually.. i think uchi is the one who died and ryo's the one who lived.
><
ryo's too cool to die.
XD

[inappropri8]

haha, i love to hear how you interpreted it. ryo was actually the subject, "you", and uchi was the man he loved. i hesitate to say 'the one who died' because i can't have character death and he didn't die. he secretagent'd his way out of the situation and him and uchi lived happily ever after. i just didn't write it because that's silly and unrealistic. i was going for vague, i'm glad it worked! thanks for commenting!

[badbatazz]

ryo died? uchi is the one who lived? or is it the other way? i like ryo but i think in this story it was him who die.

[inappropri8]

ryo is "you" and uchi is the man he loved. like i said in the comment above, ryo doesn't really die, i just didn't write the end. i think now maybe i will have to, if only for my own sanity.

thanks for commenting!

I kind of really like the ambiguity of your characters, and the way you wrote this was really great! Also, LOL at Ryo-chan. That video never fails to crack me up :D

[inappropri8]

Oh, thank you so much. it's always so awesome to get comments from authors i love. i'm so glad you liked it. and yeah, 4-foot-tall secret agent!ryo is simultaneously the most awesome, adorable and hilarious thing ever.

[trivialaffair]

I...::blushes:: You're so sweet, thank you so much (though I know how you feel, it's a marvelous thing, getting comments).

And yes! His high voice makes me alsdkfmaldkfmads XD

[inappropri8]

comments are seriously like the best things in the entire universe, i swear.

i love it, he looks exactly the same as then (except the cute somehow morphed into sexy) but his voice is really quite different.

(i ended up writing the follow up, if you're interested. i linked it in my author's note ((and just posted to jent_fanfics)) but am too lazy to link here, haha)

I'm feeling a lot of self-imposed pressure to give you a comment anywhere near as awesome as the comments you give out. I suck at commenting in general (as you are aware), so I can't really do it, but this little fic seriously deserves it. Ok.

So first of all, you know I'm totally sketchy on my feelings for second person, but I really, really, really loved this. That many really's. Fluted really, even (r.e.a.l.l.y.). This totally made me sad, but hopeful that it all works out, cause you know, sadfacing. And I like the vagueness, and I kind of always love fics with this kind of interchangable characterizing (not a word?), where it was written as RyoUchi, but could be anyone. Except I read it as RyoUchi anyway, so.

And I'm not really a quoter, but these two lines I especially loved:
You don’t believe in psychology, but you know you have issues.
I don't really know what to say about this line, to explain how much I liked it, but I just really, really did. It really made me think it was Ryo.

...the doors to the bar are kicked open and

grinning so fucking hard right now. seriiously, you commenting at all is a serious compliment. and saying really so many times, more than even i do, is also, like, huge. i dunno, it's like, it's all well and good if i like it, but if you do, then it's something else.

of course it's gonna work out. me write character death/sad endings? that's not possible, you should know that. if i left it like that, i would have cried. at something i wrote. i'm ridiculous. the interchangable characterizing was mostly because if i'm gonna be pretentious and write in second person, i might as well take it all the way and leave out names in general. a little bit was because i figured you could read it as ryoda. because ryoda was my first idea for this fic, even though it turned into ryouchi. so i was throwing you a bone.

hearts and smiles are overrated.
