PoT: Third Watch: The Other Side

Fic post from my archive.

The Other Side

Kirihara deals with a stressful practice and finally snaps. In a good way. Drama, I-3

Akaya tried to unclench his teeth before he gave himself a headache. “Both of you be quiet,” he growled.

... Reading this, I can somehow imagine Ryouma and Kirihara comparing notes on the frustrations of being team captains once their senpais have left... *eyes them*

Pretty! Squeeeeeeee!

Ryoma and Kirihara would so compare notes on the frustrations of being team captains when their seniors aren't around! (maybe even share commiserations about people mouthing off to them or about responsibility comments)

Hot DAMN, woman! O_O Your Kirihara rocks my socks on toast. *wibble*

For one moment he was disoriented, as if he had stepped around the other side of a one-way mirror and seen a familiar room from a skewed angle. How had he gotten to be on this side?

Lovely image! That one sent shivers down my spine. :)

*smiling with teary eyes*
I'm *sniffs* so happy! *sniffs and dabs eyes*
You're so grown up, Kiri-baby!

{start snickering evilly} oh I can't wait for the mayhem to begin in ernest!

*breaks into tiny particles of madly-squeeing fangirly mess*

Your fics are bad, bad for my coherence. No, make that horrible. Absolutely horrible. And I love you, sooooo, so very muchly.

And onee-sama, does this mean fangirls get to vote on that?

*thinks* Does it have to be his team? I doubt anyone other than the Glorious Three in former Rikkai ever had to coax and guide other players the way Akaya has to now. Captainly examples definitely work along the lines of Tezuka and Tachibana, as does Mirror!Atobe. *rethinks* Okay, maybe not Atobe, but the other two. Another things is, can anyone from his own (former) team really provide rational feedback (re: "too close")? Because the only one I can think about is Jackal or maaaaybe Yagyuu.

Or, would he need someone who's completely not a captain figure? Either in his team or out of it?

Okay, enough pretense of intelligence. Back to squeeing now. Squee!
