Éclair

[crimsontime]

I have never like Éclair, partly because of fiancée debacle and partly because she was not in the original manga (I am biased like that XD. I didn't even really watch the anime. Just skipped around here and there). But the way you represent her here makes her seems a rather interesting character after all.

I have also never thought about the pairing Kyouya and Eclair together (Kyouya/Renge all the way for me), but putting it here like that, it seems to be a rather strong possibility. The sexual tension is certainly high enough.

I thought that the title is very aptly name. It is like eventhough Kyouya knows that Eclair is not good and have suspicious motives and yet he can't help being drawn to her, her personality, her mind, their conversation.

To me, the Eclair presented from Kyouya's p.o.v here is like a chocolate or a tasty pastry (her name, her name) that you knows right from the start is not good for you healthwise, but you can't help it. You still wants it anyway. It is a very interesting concept to play with.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you read it despite your feelings on Eclair and the manga. I appreciate it!

I really enjoyed this short! Kyouya's one of my favourite characters (his spectacles and stoic personality, no doubt) and I have been racking my brains for the perfect character to compliment him. Eclaire seems a most fitting match for him, and you brought their characters to fruition.

The development of emotional feelings coincides with their more calculative behaviours, and you did it really well without breaking character or making the actions seem cheesy [for lack of a better word].

I'm going to be perusing through some of your other works now =D
