PoT: Mirror Writing: In the Forest of the Night

Fic post from my archive.

In the Forest of the Night

Takes place in Current Tenipuri Year. Ohtori reflects on the pair he's found himself a part of. Drama With Romance, I-3

Choutarou had been raised to show courtesy; Otou-sama always said it was one of the best ways to disarm an opponent. So he was polite to his peers and his seniors, both, and lent a hand wherever one seemed needed, and devoted every bit of his strength to working his way up the ranks.

CHOUTAROU!

SHISHIDO!

*SQUEAL*

The line about being polite to disarm your opponent. OMG! CHOUTAROU! That is HIM! Otori is NOT an innocent, there's no fecking way for a person to be on the Hyotei team without having a manipulative bone(s) in their body. Just because he's nice doesn't mean he's not determined, extemely motivated, or very, very, very manipulative.

But OHHHHH! The way he realised how determined Shihido is, the way he began to fall for Shishido (without fully realising it yet). HAPPINESS!

And you have to idea how the comment about Atobe's need to win, and his ego (the size of Jupiter) made me snicker. Though I have to admit Shishido's snark about Hiyoshi's attempt to take over the world made me laugh.

*jumps up and down* Happiness! I have decided, write what you will. I will READ ^__^

(Though backstory is always appreciated ^_^)

LOVE YOU!!!! *dumps truck after truck of truffles at your feet*

*happily buried in truffles* Mmmm, yum.

Glad you liked it, darling! Though I dearly love ShishiTori the way, say, Monnie does it, my own take on Ohtori is that he's a nice guy, but not an innocent one, and not especially merciful, either. Certain of the extra info seems to point in that direction, talking about how he uses the psychological shock of his serve as a major weapon when he plays.

They're so cute in their as-yet-cluelessness. *pets characters* Clues are on the way, though. *wicked grin*

Well, you know Monnie's fics are like my first encounter to ShishiTori, and I will always worship her for that. And while I think she's got her Shishido down to a pat, I prefer your Ohtori better. It is the way I see him in my head.


Yay for clues! The question is who will notice first.

*snickers*
