ngl, the title is what got me (one of my fave songs) but the writing is what made me stay. i'm new to this pairing but i like what you wrote :)

"Óscar De Marcos, university’s resident bad boy and the object of many girls’ and quite a few boys’ (including Markel) fantasies" i lol'd

This pairing is starting to become one of my favourites *-* No idea why but they just fit together.

Thank you! <3

Ok... At first, the simple fact that the story takes place in a library had made me smile! I'm a big fan of books! ;)

The story was really cute! The bad boy and the intellectual, that's a pairing made of win!

As for the real players they're not the athletic's player I know the best but I find Markel very handsome!

Gosh, there was a book sale in the city I study, so many books, so cheap *-* I came home with eight new books.. whoops.. and I have to go back tomorrow and buy the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the galaxy, the complete set. (I want it so bad)

I always like these kind of pairings in films, so yeah.. and imagine Óscar in a leather jacket, my oh my *-*

Kind of used the title because of Markel.. pretty and handsome but rather awkward in this story.

I'm going to a flea market this week-end... So I'll probably buy some books, too!

Yeah, the title is perfect!

Hi! I just wanted to say that I love this story and this pairing! I love the way you portrayed Oscar as the badboy too! Can't wait to see more of this pairing!

[maritsel_chan]

Awh, thank you!

I have a few drabbles and another story with Markel and Óscar as a pairing, just check their tags =)

This is an awesome story, wonderfully written, and I enjoyed it immensely! :D It's such a pleasure to see a talented writer write my Athletic guys, unfortunately the fandom tends to neglect them! ;)

I like your characterization of Óscar as the bad boy a lot! At first it seemed a little strange to me because I always saw Óscar as the shy one (though Markel seems just as shy to me! XD), but your interpretation grew on me more and more and I loved the image of him riding a motorcycle! And doing all this research on Markel! That was adorable! :)

*-* Getting called a talented writer from someone whose writing I admire immensely, just.. wauw. Thank you so much.

Someone put the image of Óscar with a black leather jacket and I was sold, he gets to be a bad boy. A bad boy with a high, high tolerance of pain. And Markel just seems so shy to me. Adorable but shy.

I was hoping his research was cute and not creepy stalkerish.

Thank you for commenting! <3
