Pairing/Characters: Sanada/Kaidoh
Rating: PG
Summary: It's been so long since Sanada worked at something he wasn't already good at.

Notes: No direct references to Shin Tenipuri / U17, but that's where I figure they must have got to know each other ( Read more... )

My favorite line: "Obviously Renji knows. He hasn't told anyone else. We're comparing notes." Inui turns to Sanada. "So, Sanada, what are your intentions toward my kouhai?"

This was very sweet. And yes, Sanada should never taking date ideas from Niou. No one should. :)

Thank you so much! Poor Niou, I'm sure he respects girls as people, really.

This was absolutely adorable! Poor Sanada and his epic dating fails.

So glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for writing this, it was a joy to read and made me consider a pairing I haven't given much thought before! Dating advice from Niou is a scary thing...

Wonderful job in capturing how awkward but earnest they both are, how much they both want without knowing how to express it. I'm just glad they were able to find kindred spirits in your fic!

Thank you so much! It was a really interesting pairing to work on; they're so similar in a lot of ways.

Aww that was sweet in an awkward date kind of way. It's nice of Kaidoh to not hold Sanada's complete lack of date failure against him.

And Niou with his bad dating life and advice was great.

Poor Sanada, I almost feel badly about embarrassing him. Almost. I'm glad you enjoyed!

"I like cranes too," Sanada says.

This moment!

I came home from work today to the greatest of surprises, and I think the adorable date fail will keep me happy for days. Days. Oh Sanada, taking dating advice from Niou. You would have done better buying a convenience store magazine "for a friend."

This was an absolute treasure, and I'm so amazingly grateful that you wrote this for me. Thank you!

I'm so pleased you liked the story! I was a bit nervous about it, since it's not a pairing I'd ever really considered before. I had a lot of fun working out how they would be with each other. Good thing they're both so persistent! Thanks so much for such a great comment, too. It really made me smile. :)
