PoT: Hearts and Spades: Steel and Cypress

Fic post from my archive.

Steel and Cypress

After watching the National semifinals, Mizuki wrestles with his ambitions and fears--at least until Yuuta gives him a push. Drama with Romance, I-4

Hajime's mouth quirked. What a spot to put himself in, a sensible, logical person agreeing to go forward alongside this firebrand and push both of them to the edge and beyond.

*positively bouncing* Oh, Mizuki, don't you want to know why Yuuta's already looking triumphant?

*sparkles* Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

*wicked grin* One of these days he'll actually admit that Yuuta's heart and head talk to each other a lot better than his do.

I delurk!
And bow at the amazingness of this fic!

And
"When he opened his eyes again Yuuta was smiling, brilliant and... somehow already triumphant. "
made me laugh, and made people stare at me oddly.

Yay for oblivious!Mizuki

*hearts* Thank you!

I'm really quite fond of oblivious!Mizuki, especially since the silly boy /does/ know, he's just not admitting it yet. *amused by her characters*

The Mizuki/Fuji rivalry thing going on is so much fun to explore isn't it?

oh god your Yummi is so adorable, bright and dgkjdshfasdl just totally going on.

Thank you! *laughing* Mizuki is a competitive little cuss, for all he hides most of it under a cool exterior. *evil grin* Yuuta will be good for him.

"He would be damned before he'd be less than Fuji Shuusuke."
--That line is made of SO MUCH WIN. I love the whole Mizuki/Fuji thing going on in this series (as I've said before, but I just have to say it again), even though they aren't even interacting in person. ♥

Your characterization makes me so happy. ^___^ This is a ridiculously good fic!

[branchandroot]

*sparkles* Thank you so much!

*grins* I think I'm going to eventually be able to get Fuji and Mizuki in the same place; and watch the fireworks. And probably Yuuta's bewilderment, wondering what on earth is up with Aniki and Hajime-san, because the dear boy does have his blind spots. *snickers*

I. I. Oh. Oh my.

"All because he wanted Yuuta to look only at him, the way he was right now."

That? That floored me. And it wasn't just the fact that Mizuki is FINALLY BEGINNING to admit a bit of his feelings, but because the only at him was so beyond adorable and sweet and tooth rotting and and and now I'm incoherent.

Basically, Mizuki has such a spot it my heart that your Yummi fics make me wibble and sigh and want to RP and/or write fic right now. It makes the Mizuki in my head all wiggly and alive. It's rather unfortunate, at times, actually. XD;

BUT UH YEAH. I LIKED THIS PART... A LOT. BECAUSE I LOVE MIZUKI AND HIS WARPED MIND. He needs to get a reality check, rofl. ♥ Keep up the amazing work. *____*

[branchandroot]

*sparkles* Thank you so much!

*sparkles some more at the thought of more happy Mizuki fic* Mizuki never gets enough fandom love. You should definitely give in to this urge. ^_^

*grins* He really is a warped boy; fortunately, he has the astonishingly straightforward Yuuta to pull him back to earth.

And we're only just halfway through this arc, so there's plenty more to come. *wry* Never thought it would be these two who managed to drag me away from Rikkai again, but wow.
