Thank you thank you thank you thank you~!
This was cute and funny and slightly painful (with the crush on his Math teacher and the club girl). Loves it muchly.
It's always nice when someone writes a Junno that has a bit more depth than a constanty-grinning-bad-pun-expeller. It was also cool that the whole thing was covered (is covered the right word?) in his sort of "personality". Ahaha. And Ryo was a nice touch too (the asking to the movies scene was priceless).

You're very very welcome - thank *you* for your lovely feedback!!

I'm really happy you liked the story so much - and that it managed to be both cute and funny and painful, which is just what I was hoping for. :-)

Junno is definitely far more than a a constantly-grinning-bad-pun-expeller (and I like the way you phrased that - makes this one-dimensional version of him sound like a PEZ dispenser *g*).

Ryo was a nice touch too (the asking to the movies scene was priceless)

Heh. Ryo shouldn't be throwing stones about how other people fall in love, really. :-)

Thank you for commenting!

[rheasilvia]

Yay! :-) I'm very glad you liked the story so much - thank you for letting me know!

I'm always hoping for more Junno stories myself - there just aren't enough of them!

[fr_gal]

ah, I like this so much. It's so cute, and there's not enough fics about introspective Junno.

I really like the part when he wonders why he never falls in love with KA-TUN.

And Ryo at the end was much love. Way to awkwardly cute for words.

[rheasilvia]

You have a Junno/Ryo icon!!! Yes! So much love. :-)))

It's great to hear that you enjoyed the story so much!

Ryo at the end was much love

He probably shouldn't have been so critical of Junno's way of falling in love, before - I'm guessing he'll never hear the end of this. ;-) I'm sure there are many bad puns to be made on the subject...

Thank you for your lovely feedback!

[fr_gal]

Aha i actually made the icon right after reading your fic
XD spent like an hour sifting though my hardrives looking for the shokura clip that had this scene so i could make the junno/ryo icon

I totally am in love with your ryo at the end. There's not enough fics with ridiculously-shy-socially-awkward Ryo who says on thing then ends up doing the opposite or tells someone not to do something then does it himself later.
not that i don't love moody-constantly-pissed-off Ryo 'cause i do XP

[rheasilvia]

:-) Cool - I inspired you to make a Junno/Ryo icon! That's almost better, in a way. *g* And ohhh, I love that Mr Romance clip. They are *so* cute there...

Ryo has so many different ways of being endearing - even when he's shy and/or awkward and/or moody, it's somehow sweet. *g* I'm pretty sure he would drive me crazy if I had to deal with him in real life, but! Fortunately Junno can do so much better there than I could. ;-))

Yay! Very very glad you like! :-)

I totally understand how Junno feels. I fall for people so easily too. It just happens without a reason, regardless of a particular person's looks. It happens. It's stingling, sweating, nervous then it starts to fade away over the years.

[rheasilvia]

It takes years to fade away? Poor you...

I'm very glad you liked the story, and that you find Junno's way of falling in love so authentic! :-)

[akillarian]

Yes it may take years for me. The longest so far was 5 years I think.

[epicwaters]

hahahha, Taguchi got him with the wasabi peas XDD

I never would have imagined this pair, I'm glad you did it for me lol This was so cute! Thank you for sharing :)

[rheasilvia]

The wasabi peas were Ryo's downfall. *g*

The pairing may not be the first to spring to mind, but I do think they work very well together. I'm very glad it worked for you, too, at least in this story! *g*

Thank you for commenting and letting me know you liked the story! :-)
