Fic post from my archive.

Bitter and Salt

Touya finds out a few things about what Yue likes, despite Yue's complete cluelessness. Drama with Pre-Romance, I-3

Touya snorted. Yue was stuck with the family, now; he might as well get used to it.

Oh the shininess. ::astounded by the shiny::

So why doesn't Yue eat? Is it because he doesn't like the things that Kero usually pigs out on? ::very interested::

I especially like November, with everyone briefly in shock wondering if Yue's going to drink his coffe or not. Amusing indeed, especially with Touya giving them the "DRINK YOUR TEA NOW OR DIE" look.

Very much adoration for Touya poking at Yue, oh yes indeed.

*heartheart* I swear, Touya just needs people to protect. And Yue is practically custom made. *grins*

I figure that, since Kero is the one who's loudest about food, it's usually /his/ kind of food that gets made, and Yue wouldn't like that. They have opposite alignments, and food has elemental associations in Tradition Chinese Medicine. And I expect Yue also Does Not Eat as a way to differentiate himself from his "sibling" Kero even more. *snerks*

Glad you liked it!

Well, as Sakura starts growing up more and needing protection less, it will be good for Touya if he has someone to transfer some of his protective instincts to. ;-)

Yue-as-sibling, with attendant psychological issues, is also quite amusing. Kinda like twins who act completely opposite from each other so as to establish their individuality-- as completely as they possibly can.

*grins* I'm half convinced that's why Touya is so pissed off at Li--because now /he's/ protecting Sakura!

Really, don't they act like sibs? All the snipping and snarking. I find it very amusing, especially once they're both out and about and having to deal with each other again.

They really do. Actually, Kero and Yue sibling fics are held highly in my esteem . . . no matter how snarky they get I like to think that they genuinely care about each other. And that's what really makes snark fun. ::nods definately::
