Fic post from my archive.

Fearful Symmetry

Snippets of how Ohtori and Shishido keep company while they're apart, during Ohtori's third year of junior high and Shishido's first year of high school. Drama With Romance, I-3

"I will be so glad when it's next year," he commented to the ceiling, knowing Choutarou would have looked up at the rustle when he fell back. "I mean, singles is fun, and all, but it's just not the same."

so....damn.... CUTE!

{grins} these little bits and pieces are always some of the best stories---just little peeks into someone's life like this always tends to warm the heart... ^.^ and make you feel good all over.

Snippet-stories are hard to balance, but when they come out right I like them. I usually use them to span time, though I've seen people use them just for the snippet-effect, too.

I've seen them used both ways, too, and I love 'em either way ^.^ (I'm more guilty of the later, tee hee)

This was beautifully done. I feel like I learned so much from the snippets, about the way things were when they were apart, and about how their relationship is developing.

I love that Shishido criticizes Fudomine for playing better when their captain is there to watch, but doesn't think it's the same when he plays better if Ohtori is there. Such sweet denial.

Honestly, I could probably list a dozen things I enjoyed in this fic. I'll sum it up though by saying again that the characterization is so close to what I see in the series, and the relationship is developing so believably. I'm enjoying this all very much.
