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."

Yes! Little tiny pieces gooood. Good, good. ^____^ Right now Tachibana comes very close to being my favorite character on the show. It's hard for me to pick a favorite, but if I have one, he's it. And yes, see your point about Fuji. *nods* Good point. (Which is why I like him with Tezuka, but. Tachibana! so! cooool! *sparkles*) I really do have to see those eps...

My perception of Mizuki is based mostly on the Seigaku matches against St Rudolph...I haven't gotten yet to any of his later appearances. It's also colored by the fact that I love Fuji, and Fuji hates him. With good reason I think. You might have noticed I have a soft spot for protective older brothers. ^_~ I'm going to do an essay one of these days here soon on the similarities and differences between the Fuji brothers, the Kaibas, and the Elrics. I think that Syuusuke and Yuuta are less of a set than the others, though, simply because of the friction between them--for the others, the Kaibas in particular, you just don't get one without the other.

But that friction proves your point--Yuuta is independent and thinks for himself, and obviously has plenty of steel in him...anyone who goes head to head with Fuji the way he does has to have a spine and a half. But it's very clear, at least to me, that they do love each other a great deal. They do have a bond there, it's just a little bit different. Hmmm...I have a lot more to say about that but I have to go and it's really off topic besides, so! Later...

oh yes, I agree with you one hundred percent about the pairing politics. My god. I'm going to write Fudo fic where people don't care. XD But i think there are reasons why that pairing in particular is such a lightning rod...
