Fic post from my archive.

Approaching Fineness

After watching Regional finals, Yuuta and Mizuki both have a new range on their goals. Drama with Romance, I-3

Hajime smiled; observing the tournaments seemed to be doing good things for Yuuta's awareness of the mental game. That would be useful.

Oh, Mizuki. *pets him*

And Yuuta is the sweetest thing ever. *dotes on him*

*hearts* Yuuta is very sweet, and /very/ straightforward, and poor Mizuki doesn't quite seem to get it yet. He's almost there, though!

*pets Mizuki as well* I love the way your Mizuki and Yuuta interact. They're both so endearingly oblivious. Of course it's all right to lust after Yuuta, Mizuki. (As long as you avoid his overprotective older brother.) :D

*eagerly waits for next update*

Thank you! I'm having so much fun letting these two dance around each other. *grins* And Fuji will find out about it, but I think Yuuta will win the Stubborn Contest.

More coming next week!

*hearts* Sweet, I really love this! I'm so glad to see people actually including how Mizuki would think and calculate in a fic, it's exciting. I also like Yuuta's acceptance of Mizuki's plans. It's all very subtle and very nice.
I'm going to go back and read the rest of the stories when I have time.

*very pleased* Thank you! I really love messing around in Mizuki's head; it's great to hear people enjoy reading about it. And to hear that the way Yuuta is coming along works.

/flail! This is just so awesome. ♥! I got into TeniPuri a little late and have had a friend of mine shoving fanfics at me, with yours at the top of the list of To Reads. So after reading nearly all of them, if only to placate her, this is a wonderful surprise! (Of course, after reading one of your fics, I had to read another, and then after much poking read Challenge, and now I think I'm a permanent fixture in your fanbase. You capture all the characters so well~!)

Can't wait for more of these installments. I adore your Mizuki, and as Mizuki and Yuuta are two of my favorites in the manga, having you write this arc for them? Simply an amazing treat. ♥

*hearts and sparkles* Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear you've enjoyed the stories!

Especially for these guys. They just don't get enough fandom love (or manga love, for that matter) and they're so much fun. *pets them* I love poking around in Mizuki's head and fishing for his motivations.

*laughing* And every time I think tenipuri has let me go, the characters drag me back!
