Long Exposure: Two

Fuji, slowly, learns how to be cared for; fortunately, Tachibana is patient. Drama with UST, I-3

"What?" his friend asked. "It's obvious that you never let your temper go unless someone provokes you intolerably. You certainly never lose it on your own behalf."

YAY! I stalketh and I reapeth rewards! ^_________^

fuwas at Tachibana who was respectively irritable, understanding, protective and cute. also, he cooks! *insert fangirl squeals here*.

random comment> is funny though. fuji is attracted to perfect people. or at least, near perfect people. *points to tezuka and tachibana* maybe because it's the genius thing, that makes being close to near-perfect, over-achieving people easier. near-perfect over-achievers being less likely to mutter and point at fuji and call him monster, after all. (eiji gets through to fuji through sheer exuberence, i think, and yuuta, yuuta is family.)

*sends you much rabu*

Oh gods, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

The two of them were just perfect (I might even like them better than Tezuka/Atobe... just a little, little bit more. Honest).

You made Fuji HUMAN without falling into the trap of making him weepy, and you made me satisfied at Fuji's decision in letting go of tennis after playing for the current Seigaku team (well, Tezuka) without going for the whole 'I'm bored. The end'.

And Tachibana is just so wonderful. The type of man we would all like to have in our lives *sigh*

Also, loved the detail about Tachibana cooking dinner. How the boy was so thoughtful as to provide TWO different recipes. I LOVE!! &*huggles*

Okay, more of this couple! (or if you suddenly decide to write Inui... all appreciated).

So, here I am, with my long comments, lol. Anyway, was reading things out of order again tonight. I knew, when I started reading the Atobe/Tezuka storyline, that Fuji was with someone else (other than Tezuka, obviously--what do you think of that pairing, by the way?) in your little 'verse, but I couldn't remember who. It was a really odd pairing though, I thought.

So I went to look it up, tonight, and went omg wtf? Tachibana? ^____^ I was thrilled, but surprised. I guess there is some subtext in those eps after he gets hurt, but I haven't seen that far yet, so...it seemed really random to me. But I've always loved Fuji, and right now I have such a major Tachi fixation, you know I couldn't resist reading it immediately. ^_^ I didn't really think I would like the pairing all that much--I couldn't really see them together, even though I love them individually, I just didn't see any sparks there. So I figured I'd be pretty ambivalent about it, but I was curious as hell.

I got as far as the end of the second part here--the scene where they are talking about Yuuta, and I quote, from an IM conversation with a friend:
KiraSakuya720: oh well. damn.
KiraSakuya720: that just about does it, there.
KiraSakuya720: okay, she sold me. (Emily does that with frightening regularity... ^^;;) but. Tachi is so Tachi and Fuji is so Fuji and gah....it just works.

And it does. <3 I love the way Kippei just gets it, and says exactly the right thing--like he does--and it is so. cool. I *heart* them both so very much. ^_^ The dynamics here are perfect--I positively love that last scene, the almost but not quite acknowledgement, it's like yes~! So balanced. Like they both are. And wheee, like most of your fics, it leaves me all warm and fuzzy inside. ^____^ Much heartage. ♥♥♥

I shall have to read the last part later because it is SO damn late here, and I'm putting off the Mizuki arc for as long as possible, because omfg, teh ANGST. >< I love angst, but I hate Mizuki--though I have the sneaking suspicion that I might not after you're done with me. But. I will read it, eventually. And you may be sure, as well, that you are the only person I would trust to read it from. ^_~ I still don't promise to like it (Mizuki/Yuuta makes me go 'oh-dear-god-it-hurts-make-it-stop! ><;;), but we shall see. ^^<3
