BUT YOU ARE LOVELY, ARTHUR, YOU REALLY ARE. This was glorious. What a wonderful fill, truly. It made me a little sad at first because what you've portrayed is so true to the sometimes-cruelty of real life high-school - the exclusivity of it, how rumours and hearsay can define people's perception of someone, Arthur's loneliness.

But then, I suppose it made it all the more heartwarming that Eames took a chance and reached out (oh, your Eames is brilliant - so not smooth and yet charming, nervous and yet forward enough to ask Arthur out on a date in their first interaction). And I loved how unexpected your Arthur was - soft spoken, playful, intelligent, endearingly unsure why Eames was so intrigued by him etc etc. /rambling

ESSENTIALLY I ADORED THIS WITH ALL OF MY HEART.

omg. why is this comment so ridiculously useless and long and capslock-y? I AM SORRY.

Just gotta add: this line (A light pink appears in bursts at Arthur’s cheekbones, and his eyes curve into crescent shapes when he smiles) made me MELT. Because jgl does smile

Shit. I hadn't realised how long this was. I really am sorry :/

[ohmydarlingdear]

no no no don't be sorry! I love long comments. they make me so happy :D
and thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed this enough to abuse capslock heehee AND ALSO THAT PICTURE OF JGL IS BEAUTIFUL OK he really does look like a cartoon character sometimes d'awhhh -pinches cheeks-
(and yes, sequel is looking very likely and it's going to be cheesy and wonderful and all the glorious that comes with first dates)

Dude, I am so excited for it, can't even explain how much \o/

Um (awkward, awkward) would you mind if I friended you? To keep track of your fics etc? Because I am liable to forget to check back for your sequel and that would be a travesty?

*runs away awkwardly*

Okay, OP here and I'm de-annoning for this because it was that awesome. You captured the stigma of solitude so well. High school is such a bitchy, unforgiving place and poor Arthur really felt that. If only everyone who has ever been in that situation had an Eames to make things better.

Anyway, this was awesome and a better fill than I could have ever hoped for. ♥

oh goodness OP! I should be bowing down to you for thinking up such a lovely prompt because srsly this fic would not have happened without it. I'm so very happy you liked this OP, you have no idea how much I am squealing right now. thank you!

This is just charming. Wonderful job with the descriptions, and unfounded high school rumors, and we do do so much U.S. history stateside, it is ridiculous (oh--but I loved it).

[ohmydarlingdear]

teehee thank you!
