Fic post from my archive.

Burning

In the winter of Ohtori's third year of junior high and Shishido's first year of high school. Shishido reflects on his partner, and their bond as a doubles pair. Drama With Romance, I-3

The first time Ryou found himself admiring his partner's body, he chalked it up to hormones and went on from there.

Okay, this is going to sound strange, but I really like the way you don't write the relationship between them too romantically. What I mean is that you write it very subtly, and without heavy romantic overtones. It all adds to the realistic feeling I'm getting, as if you really are examining how two people fall in love, slowly.

I'm not sure which I like better, the way you get into Shishido's head, or Ohtori's. You write them both very well. I get the feeling that Ohtori may be starting to wonder the same things that Shishido is. ^___^

Again, I'm thrilled to have all of this arc to read at once. Thank you for posting it this way.
