Go Yuuri! I like take charge Yuuri.

The metaphor you use in this chapter just works. I like how you used it to help Wolfram understand the hopelessness of him holding his flame. I feel sorry for Wolfram when watching the anime. His love is unrequited, and I keep hoping he will stop stubbornly hoping Yuuri will grow feelings and move on.

I love the scene where Yuuri's emotions caused the rain.

I love the way Conrad gives gifts, and Yuuri's gift back.

I like this chapter. Using baseball to better understand Yuuri=win.

Why have I not reviewed this? I've read it- what- a thousand times? (QUICKLY- before I review this chapter, I forgot to tell you how much I fell in love with your Beach metaphor between Conrad and Yuuri in the recent updates. THIS: The water ebbs and flows up and down the beach. The land extends deep beneath the ocean. They meet over and over again. I FORGOT TO TYPE IT IN TO TELL YOU MY UNDYING LOVE FOR THAT SENTENCE- but no second comments. What a bummer. Anyway...) This was really nice because a lot of people are falling away from the whole baseball scene, but I believe it gives the whole Conyuu plane its foundation. "Just two boys" reflects that entire idea of them "just playing catch," and it really made me sigh in satisfaction. Again, your writing is absolutely lovely. Please, do continue.

I've said it a few times but I'll say it again, my favorite Conyuu stories come from other's point of view. Wolfram was captured in such an interesting, RAW form. I love that a character was pondering Conrad's element- I'm surprised it's never brought up in the show. I think the confrontation between Wolfram and Yuuri was a brief, but very accurate, portrayal. I would have loved to see Wolfram speaking to Conrad shortly after. But this, I believe, captures the quick, aggressive movement Wolfram would take once he really, REALLY, caught on. I loved this line:
For the moment, he clings to the idea of wedging himself between them before Yuuri and Conrad notice the feelings they have for each other. He’ll force himself in, and forcibly carve a space for himself in Yuuri’s heart. He’ll burn it in! Scorch it in!
Beautiful. I'm seriously loving these oneshots. I'M CRAVING MORE. NOW!! :)

THIS WAS WONDERFUL. I love you and I have finally found inspiration to finish up Grip. You just capture every nook and cranny of their relationship that many, including myself, would never think to worry about. Plus, the extra bit of something rated OTHER THAN G was extremely satisfying. You write it in such a Conyuu way, so beautifully and restrained, that it makes my heart screech!! Conrad can't complain and have second thoughts anymore... ha. I always love when he's stunned speechless. Honestly, the idea of their foreheads touching made me gush with love. Great job!

Yay! He stands just as tall as Conrad! -cheers- Conrad definitely say anything against this.

Finally. Woohoo… I am doing cart wheels. I love the way you write. I can actually feel Yuuri’s excitement and impatient through out this leg of the story.

Wow. I mean WOW. That was so… good. I love the beach metaphor.

loved the previous chapter with the elements, and even more love to this chapter with the cuteecute conyuu <33 I'll never think the same of forehead bumping ever, ever again ♥

oh wow, this one was yummy. I especially like that Yuuri can so unnerve Conrad to the point that he too is "clumsy and shaking". It's good to see a Conrad that isn't so in control and proper. And, I really like assertive Yuuri. Heck, any time I read of progress in their relationship I'm happy, so I really enjoyed this chapter. :)

I absolutely love this chapter! I know Wolfram is a hothead, and I don't think his character and Yuuri's mix well, but I also never thought that temper was all there was to Wolfram -- this shows his hidden 'strengths', including knowing when to 'let go'. Great job! XD

*squeals* finally! now yuuri's in the same height as conrad.. oh, how i LOVE the way you write this chapter! it's so heartwarming along the way! gawjus! awesome! XD
