I absolutely loved this piece! It was sweet and very carefree. There was something about it that seemed as though it might have been a series of small flashbacks that should have been included in the series. You really did a lovely job of making this believable and emotional. I'm absolutely in love with these two as children. Hands down, this is simply the best pre-Gundam Wing story I have ever read; and certainly the best Noin-Zechs piece. Thank you so much for sharing it and I wish you the best of luck with your future writing ... I know I will be reading.

Glad he unmasks at the end. ^_^
What a great Zechs/Noin fic. I enjoyed it!

That's really cool, that Treize designed the setting for the training battle. Sounds like something he would do.

Btw, I thought Treize would be a jerk in my fic, but now that I've actually started writing scenes with him...he's not. (sweatdrop) It's funny how sometimes writing about a character can change your perspective of them (for me, it happened that way with Meilan, too).

*laughing* I can imagine Zechs with a book, but not swim trunks. :)
A couple of times you used the word "bear," when it should be "bare."
I so cannot imagine Noin as a waitress, either. Someone should do a fanart of that.
I really like this little scene with Zechs and Noin. They're my favorite GW couple, so it's nice to see them together.

Aw, poor Zechsey gets teased because of his mask. :p

I like both how Noin let him win (just like in the anime) and that she got distracted by his hair (lol).

Yes, Zechs is all about the hair. *fangirl smile*

Aw...
This is the BEST Fanfiction with Noin and Zechs I EVER read!
It is great, realy! I love it.
All of your ideas...all of thes moments...everything.

Another excellent story, I can't quite pin down what it is but I love your style. You have a great way of making analogies and knowing which details will just bring the scene to life. And I really like how you didn't just make this a romantic story between Zechs and Noin, you captured it as a growing, deep friendship between two students. Great job!

aaw, so cute!! hehe, so she recognized him right away? or was that just a gasp on her part for him looking so handsome? lol anyway, that was a fine little show of intimacy between them. it really shows how close noin is to zechs and why she would be stand behind him so strongly. good job, i look forward to reading more gw fics from you! XD

Of course one would have liked more and if any stray thoughts pop in that would fit well with the existing story... well, one can always hope.

Thoroughly enjoyed your efforts. Thank you for the read.

I´m glad your surgery went okay:) It was so sweet how Noin went to infirmary with him and didn´t think less of him because he was scare of getting shots. And the stargazing scene was so romantic and sweet loved it! I´m going to read your other fics as well!

hehe, squeamish zechs!! lol, wow, he must have protested a bit when the doc poked him eh? haha. sorry, couldn't resist! i love this. most ppl write these two as side pairings but never go into detail or never write a developing relationship like this. it's a nice change and i love it!

Can't say I'm particularly fond of needles myself but I sort of think there is a story attached to Zechs's extreme unease.

First mention of Treize and a little bit of the past for Noin to work with. Nice chapter.

Wow, you keep amazing me! Your chapters are great and you update really fast! I would like to spend my lifetime unraveling Zechs as well:)
