Thank you for this lovely comment, I'm delighted to hear you liked it so much, and that you think the characterisation worked. That matters a lot to me.

Ogata, TAKE THAT AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR NOSE, MWAHAHAHA.

*giggles* Yes, exactly. I tried to show them going from a state of mutual uncertainty and secrecy to a state of being very secure about being a couple, and judging by your reaction, I managed to get that across. ^^

Thank you for commenting!

Yeah, everything was spot on. And I just read somebody says here that he/she can't imagine Akira and Hikaru holding hands in public, that it doesn't work because japanese people are very private. But, come on: Touya, whilst very private and proper, is also impulsive and passionate... add Shindou to the mix and he certainly WON'T CARE what people think. If the people that matters (their parents and friends) know about it and approve, I can't see why it's not posible for them to be seen holding hands in public. Neither does Touya XDD

[stirring_still]

It sounds like we have really similar ideas of what Touya is like as a person! One of the things that impressed and amused me about him in canon is that, while he is generally polite and proper, he also has a really well-developed "well, fuck you" side that shows whenever he's sufficiently passionate about something. I love him for that. XD

Thanks again for commenting, I really appreciated it. ♥

It's been a while since I've read a long, good Shindou/Touya fic, and I enjoyed this quite a bit. I liked the slow buildup between them, and it amused me that they made it the whole way to the end without actually kissing.

I really enjoyed reading this! Thank you!

[stirring_still]

Hah, yes, the choice to not have them kiss until quite a while after they started having sex was a very deliberate one. The idea was that they could both pretend to be merely experimenting as long as they weren't openly displaying affection. I'm glad that worked.

Thanks for commenting, and your icon is the cutest thing ever. ^^

This was just fabulous. I look forward to re-reading it again and again! :D

[stirring_still]

Seriously? ^^ I'm very flattered you will be reading it several times! Thank you for commenting, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Great story.
The characterisation is spot on. And I just love the interactions between all the different characters.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm really glad the characterisation works, since that's one of my chief concerns. Thank you for commenting! ^^
