Wow. Again, I am struck and amazed by the power of your words. The implications that you leave unsaid speak volumes about Gojyo - the raw desperate need that Gojyo feels, but cannot face, express, or even fully process.

Instead Gojyo focuses on something he can understand: Hakkai's pretty face - some tangible... something that allows him to hide behind the shallow facade that he has grown accustomed to and that the world espects from him, so he can guard his heart and avoid the painful realization of his need.

It was really amazing how much put into such a short piece. Truly wonderful.

Really quite interesting. Sounds just right, too. I like it. ^_^

This is very lovely. Short, but says what it needs to. Very descriptive and IC. ^_^

Gojyo's subconsciousness speaking--I love this. (Gojyo with a belly? Nah, manga bishies never grow fat . . .)
