Drink Deep

An encounter under a tree on a sunny afternoon leads to all sorts of new possibilities. Drama with Fluff, I-3

He wouldn't have thought there was anything alarming about sitting in the shade of a tree and reading, but Yue stood like he'd been turned to stone, staring.

*laughing* Oh, poor Yue. *pets him* That must have been disconcerting.

And yay for novelist!Yukito!

*snerks* Oh yeah; though the whole chatting thing made it less so... or at least made it disconcerting in a different way. *pets him too*

As surreal as Yukito's life still is, you gotta figure, he's got plenty of material.

Touya really is lucky. He gets the sweet and outgoing AND some of the prickly and wounded and neurotic. I imagine it keeps things interesting...

Flustered Yue is totally awesome. *thumbs up!*

Thank you!

I love how this Yue gets so flustered over, you know, normal human interaction. I suspect that when Touya actually gets around to kissing him he'll be fine with it. *helpless laugh*

Touya really does need things to take care of, doesn't he?

Lovely as always. I think what I like best is how you manage to balance Yuki and Yue without going overboard on the angst. <3 Ganbatte.

Thank you!

I have to say, it is a peculiar balance, since the two of them never really /meet/ and Touya has to keep dealing with them as both one and two people. I have an inkling that their communication will become smoother as they become more one person, but there's still the "if A then not B" thing going. It's fun to play with thought!

I loved Yue getting flustered, but what really left me interested was Yuki 'remembering' Yue's memories. So, you're going to blend them? Maybe? Possibly? That's something I'd really like to see, and since what little fanfiction I started to read was mostly not all that great, I never got to. I would like to see Yue dealing some with his attraction to Toya. At this point in the story line, it appears Yuki and Toya are rather comforttable with each other, and Yue's aware of everything Yuki does, unlike the other way around, ne? So, I really wonder how Yue feels about this closeness to Toya.
I love seeing a new bit waiting and ready to be read when I wake up in the morning! Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah, I'm planning on bringing Yuki and Yue more into synch, possible having Yuki aware of what goes on when he's Yue, too. I think that would go a long way toward balancing him/them up, no to mention taking a load off poor Touya's mind! Since, then, it would never feel like going behind anyone's back.
