That line where Niou almost thinks Yagyuu is flipping him off? That already had me snickering. The part where Niou wanted a bye all the way to the finals made me snicker too. I really loved Niou's voice here.

Thanks for including all the little things I mentioned. I'd almost forgotten exactly what I included in my sign-up form until details in this fic made me go, wait, I love things like this. So thank you for that! I hope my requests didn't make things too confining.

I adored that fact that Niou wanted to play doubles. Loved Niou and Yagyuu's last conversation after nationals!

I tried really hard to fit in as many of your likes as I could. Especially playing tennis. And really, your prompts/requests were so great to work with. Thank you!

Heeee, that was a nice insight into their history, and their present. I liked how you interpreted canon more for their voice. Hahaha, and I liked when Niou thought Yagyuu was giving him the finger when he was pushing his glasses up. Silly sausage XDDD

But yeah, I liked the dynamic of this fic very much ♥

[monarchist]

That's because he was giving him the finger. Yagyuu is not always to gentlemanly. It's why Niou lurves him. XD

Thank you!

I love Nationals from their perspective, especially how good they are together.

"We suck at singles, Yaaagyuu," he says jokingly. "You should be my doubles partner forever."

Best line ever? I do think so. Also, who wants to bet that he only said it jokingly because it would have been incredibly uncool if he were serious? =P Silly Niou.

[monarchist]

To Niou, it's like what's worse: being a sap, being serious, or being uncool because he was a serious sap? He's ridiculous.

Since I know you have a shadow acct, I'm replying to both comments here.

Konomi-sensei is a slow biotch. Shinpuri would be so much better weekly. He's just lazy.

Niou is going to clingggggg forever. Seriously.

This was wonderfully written! I adore Niou's attachment to Yagyuu and I like how you made them a solid doubles team together.

This was an awesome read, I'm glad to see more exploration about these two!

Thank you!

I don't think their partnership is explained so well in the series, so I'm glad you enjoyed. :D Thank you.
