Holic: Standalone: Abiding

Fic post from my archive.

Abiding

Watanuki's and Doumeki's first kiss--the way you know it would really happen. Romance In Denial, I-3

Kimihiro's thoughts jumbled around inside his head, and one that didn't usually get loose made it to the surface. Doumeki always waited, like this.

Waited on Kimihiro's choices.

*evil grin* Ten points to you for spotting the weird-ass crossover. It just... kind of snuck in.

Gods... at first, Watanuki really annoyed the heck out of me.... but now... I just can't stop giggling. ^_^ [frowns] speaking of which.... I should try to look up those scans for Holic again. Wanna know what's happening since the anime's taking its time. :/

You captured the personalities spot on. This was an absolute joy to read!

[branchandroot]

*hearts* Thank you!

I really like the way the characters in Holic are developing; it's probably tied with Veda as my favorite CLAMP manga. There's an MSN group that has it up... exexexholic, I think.

Awww xD. That was lovely, and you captured their characters perfectly. Doumeki is such a nice guy 8D

[branchandroot]

Thank you! *laughing* Doumeki really is a sweetheart, in his own food-stealing, deliberately annoying way. ^_^

So sweet yet nowhere out of canon- just the way WxD should be. I loved it, great job! :D

[branchandroot]

*pleased* Thank you! I really love the way the interactions of these two have built up, and changed so subtly over time.

It was less clear why he was running his fingers through Kimihiro's hair, and Kimihiro was opening his mouth to protest, despite the fact that it actually felt rather nice, but he had standards after all, when Doumeki dropped his glasses over his nose and everything came back into focus.

"They came loose," Doumeki informed him. "You should get contacts for doing things like this."

That was one of my favourite bits from this piece. I enjoyed reading. Subtle and yet obvious, IMO,...just like the pairing... Thx for sharing.

*hearts* I was hoping someone would catch the little bits like that. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Just loved Doumeki here. Perfectly willing, eager even, but not showing it. And making sure Watanuki made his choice.... and then being the initiator. *squee!*

Thanks!

[branchandroot]

My pleasure, great to hear you liked it!

I'm terribly fond of the dynamics between these two.

[branchandroot]

Thank you! *laughing* Glad to be of assistance.

*grins* I can very much see this happening.

I really enjoyed reading this!

[branchandroot]

*hearts* Thank you! *grins* If these two really did get together they'd totally make people snicker softly at them in the street, with their bickering and their sweetness.

IS SO CUTE. /o/

[branchandroot]

Thank you! These two are just intrinsically cute, really. ^_^

I am currently reading peroxide_fic's Doumeki/Watanuki stories and waaaaaah~ They make me giggle and vibrate happily in my chair!
