I love how simple your prose is, but how affecting it is at the same time. I totally was on the verge of tears the entire time I read this. "A pretty girl is dead." It's such an arresting line, especially from Akira's lips.

I don't think Akira was terribly OC myself, as I found myself able to follow his decision.

Thank you.

I'm glad. In my mind, it is a decision he could make. Akira's full of passion and people do do extreme things when in pain.

Thank you for reading, as always.

I can't comment on the fact if it is OC-ish or not as I don't watch OC California (if that is what you mean with OC).

I love the story. Even though it is sad, it is also very uplifting. It give you the image of two spirits being together after a long time of being lost. And I love the fact that Akira sees his act as not ending his life but some sort of marriage to Nobuta (the fifty/sixty year reference) - together they'll watch over Shuji.
Akira is such an erratic yet very sensitive kind of person that with the right incentive (and Nobuta is always the right incentive) he would do such thing.

Kudos to you to capture this side of Akira!!

LOL. No, OC as in 'Out of Character'.

Your review has really made my night. Thank you so much for reading and for commenting. I agree that with the right incentive, Akira could/would do almost anything - 'specially if Nobuta's involved.

I was confused about that to.

I think you mean OOC

I like the idea a lot, though I admit I wish there was more to it.

I need an Akira icon right now~

I don't cry very often, even when I think I should... and instead of that I get terrible headaches and a pain/sore in my throat.
But when I read your story I had to try hard to hold back my tears, because I'm reading this in a living room full of relatives and I don't want to be asked why I'm crying all of a sudden XD

I loved the story and I think your Akira couldn't be more in character. You managed to completely capture his soul and put it into your story <3

[Off topic] My new laptop (a green Inspiron 1420) finally arrived!!! But I can't use it right now because I asked one of my brothers to remove Windows Vista and install Win XP

... I really do need to finish watching this series. *grin* But oh god, that was just sad and beautiful and lovely. Very Akira, from what I've seen of him. I love how it's Shuuji who's to live on alone, the one that I personally think carries the heaviest burden no matter what he does, the one who's the best actor, the one who becomes, in the end, hurt the most. But morbid though it is, it's a beautiful thought, that Nobuta and Akira will be together in the end.

Your speech is very true to Akira. Wonderful. And I love the little touch of him committing suicide with sleeping pills and milk. It's slightly innocuous and quirky and so very him that it just hurts. Another is you've tied the imagery of the scarf lying on the ground with his own dogged interest and curiosity over it.

Anyway, wonderful work. I really enjoyed this.

I have no words for your review. It was just very kind and I thank you for taking the time to read the story and, of course for writing the review.

Again, thank you so much for reading.

I have no idea why you're not so confident with your Akira/Nobuta/Shuji, but I follow their train of thought and feel that given such situation, they'd be acting and thinking the way you wrote them. Especially Akira, whose line of thinking is actually not so simple, but more of both of the extremes. I love your Akira.

Have I mentioned before that I ♥ you for your AkiraxNobuta fics? xDDDDDD

[walkwithheroes]

Thank you so much for your kind reviews. They've brightened my day.

Wow-I really liked this! I loved the note Akira left-"I couldn't let her wait another fifty or sixty years." That was lovely:)
Poor Shuuji though:/

[walkwithheroes]

:) Thank you. I know, poor Shuuji. :( But, Akira could leave Nobuta alone. Not again.
