Thanks for writng this. Very sad but very sweet in so many places especially Yzak and Dearka's kiss. Does anything happen next?

Oh, you have Athrun smashing the picture frame! You know... I like that better. Every time I saw that flashback in the series, of the picture falling and the glass breaking... for some reason I always just assumed that Patrick Zala had thrown it, not Athrun. But I like it better with Athrun doing it, whether that was the intent of the series or not. :P

I really like what Yzak did in this chapter! It was great! (And for some reason, it brought back a few of those old flames I used to have for the Athrun/Yzak pairing...) Yzak is such a cool dude. That sounds lame, but that's the best I can do right now. I'm dead from work. But I got such a clear image of Yzak freaking out and Athrun's dead eyes...

Congrats on another nice chapter!

YAY!
You finally wrote the next chapter!
I really liked it even though it was a bit depressing but hey, all stories need a bit of a sad part right?
Please write the next chapter, i well be waiting!
ja!

Somehow,the whole piece was quite depressing.And just as usual,you always manage to paint a picture of emotion with words.The paragraph defining 'to kill' stands out on its own with its own intensity.Another nicely done chapter ^^

YES!! >DD
Finally an update :D A new chap! Yey! I so have been waiting!
And now I only wanna know what happen next even MORE x3

Nice chap, but a bit short. I like espeacially how Yzaks behaves 8D

Next chap soon please ^_^

Hey...
This is FUN!
I like this fic!
It has humor and romance and all!

Aw man, this hurts to read. Should have read THIS one first and THEN the crack with Yzak as a girl. But I reversed it. Darn.

Poor Nicol; poor everyone! It's so sad! I feel bad for Yzak and Dearks too, who have to try to keep it together because they're older and trying to be stable, when really they're hurting as well.

Nicely done chapter! :D It wasn't boring, it was progress in its own way. Every little bit is progress. *knows because she's damn stuck on her latest chapter at the moment* I also sympathize with the feeling of suffocation and heaviness. Sometimes I think people don't realize how involved in writing the writer gets. It can affect their moods, and it takes more energy than people think and the proper mentality. It takes 100% concentration. But people cry out for updates like they expect new chapters can be churned out at the drop of a hat with zero time or effort. I mean, if us authors are on a role, maybe that's the case, but that's rare. Sheesh, even if an author writes terribly, they deserve credit for just sitting down and taking a shot at it. Most people are too lazy to write at all!

Even so, please don't feel like this is the "crappiest thing you've written." I suppose as writers we all rag on ourselves like crazy, but that's when the reviewers come in to tell us we only think that because it's our own work. So let me do that for you now: I know nothing I say will make you feel that it's less crap if you're determined to think it is, but you shouldn't worry. We still like it, we still applaud you for making the effort, we're still going to read it, you've still gotten your point across and moved the plot forward. And I'm sure you'll write something else that will make you feel you've made up for it later, anyway. We all have our tough spots in lovely Writer Land. You just gotta beat them back with sticks on occasion. ;P

I just so love this fic :3
The relationship between Nicol and Athrun here is so... nice. Yes, nice 8D
You just hafta write the next chapter soon. Here isn't too many Athrun/Nicol fics (I wonder why o_o' I think this pairing is adorable) so keep writing ^__^

YES! I love this story. Thanks for updating so quickly!

Oh my god. I just want to cry for Athrun. That part was so sad! It really hit a nerve. People have written references to Junius Seven before, but I don't think anyone has ever written a fic (at least not that I've read) that covers the exact moment when the missiles hit. You wrote it with so much emotion! *bawls eyes out* Just imagine if your mother died because of something like that... The line that almost made me break down with the horror of it all was "saw the moment when she was blown off into space." I got shivers. You did well portraying the brutality and terror of those few moments.

I think it's great that you're letting the story take you places you didn't think you'd go. In fact, I like it a lot, because it gave us this chapter as a result. And you're right, nukes are disgusting. I hate the fact that the Americans used them on Japan. I hate the fact that they exist. I studied in depth the results of the bomb on Hiroshima for school once, and I was horrified out of my damn mind. You got the point across really well, and it seriously almost made me cry.

One thing I noticed, and I didn't know if you meant to do it or not... You had Dearka say: "He was trying to get his dad’s number from his mom, but she went nuclear and so he had to give up." By "went nuclear," you mean sort of slang for "went crazy [with grief or shock or something]," am I right? I think it's kind of creepy how they were just attacked by nuclear weapons and were in such a grave situation, and yet Dearka is able to use that kind of language. 0_o Just thought I'd point it out.

*guffaw* Yzak and Dearka are at it again. I think since you have a great sense of humor, you're one of the best people at writing those little bicker-sessions between the two of them. I admire that ability in others, because I myself am just not funny or sarcastic enough to pull that off. :P

"Bomb Disposal class." Now THAT, my friend, is a win. XD

Aw, Yzak is passing notes to Nicol! The silver head is showing some compassion for once. And you know what, somehow while that's very odd for Yzak, you kept him in character. I dunno how you did it, but you did. Ahh, I betcha when Yzak finds out what Nicol's problem is, he's just gonna laugh his ass off and be like, "Yeah, so big deal! I'm totally gay for Dearka!" HAHAHA. (Okay, well I'm sure he'd never say it quite like that, but still...)

Hehe, well I was half right. But OH MY GOD. You made it even better. You made Yzak kiss Dearka. And damn it, you made it HOT, with all that, "Yes, your majesty" sarcasm from Dearka that's so amusing and that blatant rough affection from Yzak. You're my hero now. MY HERO.

Finals are terrible and evil. They stopped me from writing for a long time too, and it took me forever to get back into the groove. Anyway, I love this fic to death. Take your time updating. That yumminess was enough to tide me over for a while longer, at least...

Oh god, I love that song of Nicol's. I swear to god, it is the most beautiful freakin' thing in the entire world. You're right, "beautiful" is the only way to describe it. Haha, I went and put it on the moment I started reading this chapter. It's still going now, whe! *giggles* *then cries because song is so lovely*

I've got the sheet music for this because I love it so much, but I can't play myself. One day one of my sister's friends came over and started playing our piano, and I went nuts and ran for the sheet music and went, "Oh god, can you play this? Play this please!" (Mind you, I am a college student and this girl was a freshman in high school, bwahaha.) She messed it up a bit, but let me tell you, to hear that song IN REAL LIFE was like... death. Dying of ecstasy.

Aw crap, I babbled again in your review. I can't help it! Your story makes me think of things, and I can relate to it. I know just how Athrun was feeling when he listened to Nicol play. And as for their kiss: CUTE! I think it was perfect how you had Nicol scamper off all frightened afterward. Can't wait to see what's next.

Also, sorry if my massive reviews freak you out. I simply write down my every reaction out of habit. Plus, if a story makes me happy, I want the author to know about it! :P

Okay, the Dearka and Yzak interaction in there is just priceless. I love when those two get started.

*cheers for Yzak* Hells yeah. Way to clear that crowd away.

Dude, this chapter is absolutely hysterical. I love how people keep missing their shots whenever they get surpised. I know it's just a natural, little reaction, but gawd, does it make a situation funny.

Aww, it's so adorable that Nicol thinks of Athrun as practically holy. X3

Hmm, I have to say, I think I've finally started to understand this pairing. First it creeped me out a little. Then I saw it as more one sided, with Nicol hopelessly in deep love and admiration for Athrun, while the kindly Athrun had no idea. (Because I swear at some points in the series I thought I saw Nicol blushing in Athrun's presence..) But I think your fic has helped me to understand the mechanics of their relationship much better. I'm pretty sure my problem is just that I have a hard time seeing Nicol in ANY relationship, maybe because he's so young, innocent, and vulnerable. (You should have seen my face when I started reading a few Yzak/Nicol fics!)

Ooh, sorry - I blabbed for too long! I liked this story a lot. I liked how Yzak phrases them most, but then what you said: "Deep down it was ‘Athrun and Nicol’ and ‘Yzak and Dearka’ and an occasional Rusty," pretty much hits the nail on the head. Good old Gundam SEED. Nicely done.

Haha, I just realized this has more than one chapter. Yay for inattention.

Yaoi...haha nice...i like it...
