PoT: Mirror Writing: Ripple

Fic post from my archive.

Ripple

The day after the events of "Twist", Ryouma tries to sort out his thoughts. Drama With Slight Romance, I-3

Ryouma snorted a laugh. If he ever admitted to Momo that his protective streak made Ryouma feel better, he'd be doomed. Probably for life. Momo would never again believe Ryouma was serious when he grumbled or swatted Momo away.

You will be quite welcome at my other journal. AIM, unfortunately, is one of my personal phobias. ^_^;

I do wonder, sometimes, if there's a shortfall in sympathy for some characters because tenipuri is, in part, about the trials of genius. It deals with a lot of extraordinary characters, and focuses a lot on how they manage to get along in day-to-day life when they can't fit in. Each of them showcases a different coping method. Ryouma's seems to be a cultivated indifference, unless and until he sees that the other person will understand; then he gets all bright and smiley and cheeky.

...and the TezuRyo is calling my name again, as I think about this. *sigh* Well, off I go, pausing on the way to friend you.
