The ‘husband’ counter retort sent me squealing because it is one of the first hints of Sho’s acknowledging their marriage. Plus it turns Nino’s ear pink, I am as happy as a clam at all this Sakumiya high water! :D :D
Ah, the discussion that comes with it when they’re back at the ship. For a difficult topic, especially for Nino, it does went well and what hits me the most is the all around respect from each of them. Jun who knew about Nino’s past, is giving the chance for Nino to settle himself. Sho who (well later we’ll get there) also knew about it, shows his usual impassive and distant opinion. Yet, I love that Nino doesn’t treat his own past as something he feels he should hide. I like that it is actually one step to overcome the trauma, even if Nino hasn’t realized it yet. Seeing him open up, coming clean, in front of Jun and Sho because he doesn’t want it to influence his work. True professional to the bone Ninomiya is one of the many aspects of Nino that I love and I’m so glad that you brought it up here, beautifully at that, and made it much more meaningful.
Yes, we’re finally on Sho-chan and Nino’s stage. I’m grinning! And Jun, thank you for the nudge. Hahaha.
Grenus is a nice change and challenge, because after two familiar cultures, here comes the true uncharted one.
And more flirting!!!!! Also, to make Sho blush in front of everyone is a true goal in life, Nino. A++++
Once again, you strike with your glorious world building skills. I feel like this one is much more intricate than the others because somehow it’s the most important? I just have that feeling when I got to this part. And again, your details color this story gracefully. I can truly see the scenery just by reading your words <3! With all the suspicion and tension floating around the meeting, you manage to sneak in, not one, but two fine details. OF SHO AND FOOD yess, I love this one, despite hey this might be poisonous and we should not eat this and Sho just goes on with the first bit. AND JUN VS CORIANDER, loll. I’m with Jun on this, so I totally understand.
UH OH! So, skin contact is forbidden in this world! And they captured Sho! Diplomacy involves complex details and you wrote this bits perfectly. I feel Sho’s fear and Jun’s panic, and then Nino’s cool head finally getting them all out from this dire situation—of course having Nino publicly stating Sho as his husband is a great bonus! And making Sho blush in front of everyone? Check!
Yuriko is precious, scribbling like mad throughout A++, thank you thank you for including her!
The observation deck scene is somehow heart wrenching and beautiful. Because I wasn’t expecting that they would talk about what happened to Nino—I originally thought that Sho would skirt over the issue. I’m glad I was wrong because Nino has more to say about his past, has to let it all out to be able to be close to Sho. And it is also nice to see that Sho shows his acceptance in his own way.
OH FIRST KISS I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS AND THEN IT HAPPENED YES FINALLY <3!
And Aiba and Ohno are placing bets! Hahahaa. All the support for Sakumiya is making my heart warm and tingly yess. Also thank you Aiba for being a good friend and snooping into Nino’s marriage life!
AND MAKEOUTS! WOOHOO! I love the gradual development and how they are being careful with each other—or it was Sho who’s being careful with each other because Nino is all out for it, bless you, and Sho’s mouth should be blamed for a lot of things in this world. YES!
The story behind the no-smile Sho! Oh, it was much more complicated than I thought, yet it explained a lot of things. I love how the smile becomes something that’s important and you run with it for as long as it goes and making the moment when Sho (later, way later) finally smiles as a precious one. I love how then it progresses to Sho being able to smile more in Nino’s presence. I find it truly lovely and adorable. And What a milestone for their relationship too because their bond is not made over night, BUT LIKE A YEAR, and you use all the words, all the beautiful weaves of words to make this even more enjoyable to read.
