The new banner is sooooooo scorchingly hot and sexy! I want to kiss Kame's neck!XD
Whew! *fans self*

Laughed at Yuuya and Kame both agreeing that Jin's ricebowls are tacky.XD
But it was really awkward for Kame, I hope Yuuya would warm up to him eventually.
I mean, psycho!Kame was just a passing phase. He's boyfriend!Kame now.
And Kame's trying really hard to cope with things and have a normal relationship.

Jin..well, he's working really hard, too.
Glad that Koki found him to be sincere with his feelings for Kame.
But is he going to accept Koki's offer? Jin seemed to be having doubts with the music thing.
I can understand him, though. The pay for the music gig is waaaay below than what he's currently earning.
But him continuing to be an escort for two years more..I think it would put a strain in their relationship.
Kame might be putting up with it now but for how long? >_<

The last part about Midori and Kame's divorce proceedings..it's sad.:(
I feel for Kame. He's really feeling the guilt, Midori was his friend afterall. *hugs Kame*

Thanks for putting up with my comments.XD
Btw...Nakamaru and Koyama???? Really?!?

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

His neck, his collarbones, his chest... *licking*

Well, it was time Kame and Yuuya found something in common. Apart from liking Jin. Whether they can bond over awful rice bowls is a different question. Might take a bit more than that. ;)

Good questions, about the music gig, about the money, about how long Kame can handle this. Nothing is easy.

Nakamaru and Koyama can have long pleasant nights... talking to each other. Very fruitful talks, oh yes. They are both good at talking. (Oh, those fond memories of Shounen Club...)

Thank you for commenting, we love reading what you think!

[akamaru07.livejournal.com]

i felt sorry for midori. they would be good together. but then jin happened and of course i won't have it any other way XD

seems like things are looking up for them now :))) would be even better if jin joins junglelow and quits his job.

zomg 3 more chapters to go. T_T

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

It's a shame how Kame used Midori. It's not even just that Jin happened, things were wrong between them before then. They should have just stayed friends. :/

Kame totally agrees with you about JUNGLELOW and Jin's job! :)

Thank you for commenting!

[http://users.livejournal.com/___clash/]

"It looked like this when he moved in. He thought it was heaven." Pretty and sad and pretty ;___; So this is how you manage to make me all teary-eyed, huh...

Oh dear, Kame and Yuuya meet again, at last, and... it's so wonderfully awkward <333 I love how they're both proudly refusing to leave. It's a pity this is not Yuuya's story to tell, because I think Yuuya's PoV of this scene would be hilarious ^^

Somehow, resolutely untroubled is a look I can perfectly imagine on Kame's face :O And Jin keeps wanting to hug him and... why won't you, Jin, why won't you? :( Turtle-boy needs MOAR LOVE!! At least he's finally getting some, poor sad sex-deprived turtle <333

"If you could do the kitchen," Jin says to Kame, because he wants to do the stereo himself, and Yuuya will be better with the suits.
I really had to quote this line because... look at that! He can plan!! He's even good at it! #impressed #ilikethisJin

There's finally the band meeting and... wow. Jin's getting so many chances, and he really needs to understand he's not alone to fend for himself anymore... but on the other hand, I understand why he's hesitating here :/ #ganbatteJin It'll work out, you'll see!

I'm so amused that Jin's studying how to be a good whore xD Seriously, I have no words. Oh Jin, you're DOING IT WRONG, you silly little thing xD But, well, whatever works for him... it's not like he was doing any better before, when he was #failwhore >.> ALTHOUGH. It did get him a boyfriend. So maybe there's something to be said for #failwhore after all?

"There's the noise, just noise."
Oh god this... this... ;___; Why heart in so many pieces is cannot find them all incoherently. And overworked Jin is overworked. He tries so hard to hide it. And he keeps showering. And I'm sure Kame notices anyway ;___; Oh, Jin...

And the goodbye scene between Kame and Midori ;____; There's no screaming or accusations or anything like that. It's all very civil and it makes it so much more painful to read. It's just, it's obvious they still care for each other... It's so sad they have to say goodbye ;__;

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

LOL yes, a Yuuya POV would be fun. Bitchy and worried and bitchy and hoping he's wrong and Jin's right and did we mention BITCHY? Yuuya is a little slutch. One who cares about his friends.

So many chances, yes. So much 'too good to be true' and 'omg but what if it doesn't work' and 'argh'. So much hypercautious.

Jin figures, if he's going to continue whoring, he should do it properly now, no half measures, so he can be done more quickly. He's got a whole new work ethic. (His boyfriend rubbing off on him... uh, no, not like that, shuddup!)

[http://users.livejournal.com/___clash/]

After all those blobs, clearly something of Kame had to stick, just be glad it was his work ethic! :D

[prettyorianna.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor Midori and Kame. I feel bad because they weren't just married, they were friends. And now they're pretty much not and it's awkward and miserable.

Jin still seems to me like he's losing it with his current job. The way he's thinking now, it strike me more as what you feel when you just start being a whore and haven't gotten used to it yet. Like, he's regressing in his job or something. Then again, some might argue that for that job, it's inevitable to reach a point where you can't push the bad down deep enough anymore and it starts spilling out again.

So... yeah.

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kame and Midori... it's just sad. :( He even still likes her. A lot. But, well.

You've got a really good point about Jin, because in a way, he has only just started being a whore for real. Up until now, he was always fighting against it, internally, while now he's thinking 'right, let's do this thing and do it right, for however long it takes'. It's a new attitude, but one which is exhausting him, too.

And arguably, it's not really good for him. :/

[tinna116.livejournal.com]

thank you <3

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! :)

[sablenoir4.livejournal.com]

nice chapter. short comment. i need to give jo a break. you both actually..

a soft. slightly wet hello i'm greedy. i want one too.. no, no. this is about Kame, not me. sobs. and Kame holds back for Jin's self-respect, and Jin runs interference on fanmail for Kame, and oh, they love each other.. and there's a monster clutch (?! new one on me ^^), giggles and sex. yes! phew. they made it. had me worried tho didn't like to say. and i don't like the pre-paid whoring and jun's offer - why would he? - doesn't feel good that..and really hope it's nothing..and the DoCoMo guy and nooooooo, jin. not allowed. getting calculating and lying and creepy and corrupted 'cos you been listening to too much pink floyd, abba [money it's a gas..] or worse and probavbly true in rl, idek ludacris ft.pharell [shake your money maker like somebody boutta pay ya]..and the point's not kame no more? not good. sobs quietly.. and jin's mouth is sore but they're doing ok. considering sniff. NOT good enough. and this He hates this fucking job. But the more he does now, the more he lies and gets their dicks hot for him, the faster he can stop. ouch. you spelt it out. not sure i wanted that visual. so NOT good reasoning. but when was reason ever jin's strong point. "he has his reasons". but nope, still don't approve. not here. BAD reasoning Jin. wise up next time, huh? imagines highwayman Yamapi or Koki 'cos Kame's being mature and gifting him CHOICE - very important, but..oh..hard - so that's what best friends are for cos they CAN dress up and shout at Jin: "stand and deliver! your music or your life!" cos that's your choice, jin boyo. *pokes jin hard to wake him up*..and midori. just sad. collatoral damage..

so, not so short. but i tried. *bows to maestras* [with a load of thanks actually. just realised have never felt freer to comment than here - awesome people for making all comments feel welcomed. and read. and thought about. *sends deep approval*]

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Yes, they made it! Hey, you didn't really think we were going to deprive them of sex forever... right? They just needed a bit of time to adjust. Figure out how to negotiate all the pitfalls. Safe sex, in the psychological sense. ;)

YOU GO TELL JIN. but he won't listen Be patient with the boy, this is hard for him too, he does what he thinks he has to do to be both safe and responsible. Why not try a little disassociation, he thinks. Only he's not the type for whom that works, in the long run. Well, this is early days.

Yeah, Midori. Life sucks sometimes.

Keep the comments coming, we really appreciate them! ♥

[sablenoir4.livejournal.com]

Safe sex, in the psychological sense. ;) wha---?????????? can't type for laughing, wipes eyes etc

[nightinbird.livejournal.com]

It's late and I'm worn out, but I just wanted to tell you that this is still awesome, and I'm still enjoying reading it. But omg do i hope Jin gets out of that job - the white noise, in the subway, that just about killed me. Luckily, there is also kame and their absolute loveliness. I love reading them being a couple. moving house and eating and cuddling and doing unrefined, heartfelt humping and handjobs - i love that. it feels like such a blessing.

I also seem to have developed a huge soft spot for Midori now, when just a couple of chapters ago i had her pegged as the press leak who was going to blackmail kame into having a child with further pictures. i realize this now sound sort of crazy.

i have bad feelings about that weekend thing. omninous. hope Jin will unschedule. if he doesn't, maybe kame will have a breakdown, or cry, or something will happen to Jin, and Kame will need to drive their and save him or, idk. i just don't think good things will come of this...

anway, much love for this, hugs to you, and good night. ♥

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

You sounded like you had complete reason to be worn out. But hey, at least you met that deadline!

'heartfelt humping and handjobs' - name of our new tumblr! /justkidding

We're happy that you have changed your mind about Midori. She deserves to be liked (even though we'd never let her have Kame).

Thank you so much for commenting despite the whole deadline/exhaustion thing! ♥

[(Anonymous)]

Yayyy another happy Thursday... :) Thank you both so much for it! And this might get long so erm...you have been warned? :p

First of all I'd just like to leet out some of my frustration and thoughts...I totally feel for Jin with him being cautious and his past and all BUT...Somehow after reading this chapter I really feel like he oughta ease up a little...I mean his life up till now wasn't at all peachy we know...But still...I mean Kame nearly digged a grave for his career for their (him n Jin) sake...I somehow feel that Jin could make al ittle sacrifice too right bout now...Of course I'm not them but from a reader's perspective this music job seems to be the perfect compromise for them both...From my point of view a t least...Because just doing nothing, living with Kame and letting him pay for everything is of course going overboard...I all for Jin having his own place decreases the chances of paparazzi snapping them too) and working...But somehow in this chapter I was feeling pretty bad for Kame thoughout (yeah who would have though some 20 chapters back that I'd write this but...) :-/ He's going through such a hard time now yet he's so considerate, understanding and etc...I feel like giving him a HUGE hug all through the past few chapters...Not so much for his career troubles as more for his emotional struggles and loneliness...It's THE time in his life he really needs someone there for him...I seriously think Jin could let his defences down a little and be that person...And for that the job Tanaka offers him is perfect IMHO! It's a job - a job many dream of in fact...With a salary...Plus doing what he seems to at least enjoy if not love...I seriously don't understand how he can't see this...Yeah he doesn't earn as much...But dang...No need to jerk people off (pardon my french) and etc for it either! That's life - you always gotta pick whether you keep your morals and live a simple life or lead a luxurious lifestles doing an either illegal or not so legal job...So yeah to stop this rambling - if Jin agreed to this music job he would still have a STABLE source of income enough to pay off his new cheap place and to eat I'm sure...While at the same time getting rid of his current job he claims to dislike...Not to mention he and Kame would finally have a more or less decent relationship where he could really help and support his b/f at his current time of need...I'm sorry if this paragraph came out somewhat offensive but I'm just somehow so sad in this chapter for my Kame bb suffering...More so than before - I dunno why... :-/ If I could - I would totally tell all this to Jin directly...But I can't for obvious reasons so you, the authors, will have to bare with me on this...Sorry :P Also, maybe something bad (not like TOO bad but just unpleasant maybe) will happen at this suspicious party Jun offered to Jin...And maybe THAT thing w/e it is that happens will sort of remind Jin of the clear and obvious negative points of his job and will finally open his eyes to the superopportunity he's being offered...As much as I'd hate for Jin-Jin to get traumatized or w/e else again I'm stll nevertheless kinda hopign this is how the said party will go... :-/

[uh oh lj says my comment is too loong so I had to split it...so yeah it will continue below... :-/ lol]

[(Anonymous)]

[so yeah...the continuation from the post above...tee hee :p]

Ok, now to happier stuff...And btw HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY to those who know what it is and/or cleebrate it! :):):) So yeah I loved this chapter as all the previous ones...The Midori ending part was so touching...Too bad for Kame you can't sit on two chairs (as in be gay and have a perfect wife like her)...Still I'm 4ever in love with Midori's character cause the way she is portrayed in the fic she's like the prefect woman any guy would love to meet...And from a women's POV I respect her a LOT...I really hope that in the Epilogue or w/e there will be that there's some mention of her at least traying/starting to mend her life back together...IF anyone in this story deserves it (a happy ending I mean) - it's HER! :)

Also I totally lovedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd the humor as usual....The whole ugly-rice-bowl-just-good-enough-for-eating series was hilarious! :P I love teasing people myself and being sarcastic so reading relevant stuff is always fun :D

Also, on a more pervy note - I was happy we finally get SOME mention of Kame n Jin actually still having sex cause it's been like 4ever...I dunno...A gazillion chapters ago? :D LOL I was starting to think the development of their relationship is going backwards compared to normal people...As in it's now becoming all platonic love...lol....So yeah I'm happy they both still manage to get some at least eveyr rare once in a while...Although yeah it's sad...They're so young n so in love they should totally not be wasting it like they are now...Sex wise I mean....But yeah thisgoes back to the beginning of my comment and the whole Jin's job issue...

AND...LAst but certainly not least....I was somehow so happy Nakamaru seems to be working out his stuff too in this chapter...Cause after that talk he n Jin had I had my fingers crossed for the guy to somehow fid someone... :):):) So yay!

Again thank you so much for writing... *bows* And I so totally look forward to next week as usual....To my happy Thursday! :) And sorry this was so long...

P.S.: Feels unbelievable that Thursdays will become ordinary days of the week once again in less than a month now.... :'(

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Hello again! :) (We'll just assume that every anon is the same person, it makes our lives easier.)

You have some really good points about Jin and his reluctance to take the music job. You could say that he's maybe not being entirely rational. :) And it's not at all offensive to be exasperated with him, he's really putting Kame through a lot here, and himself too, when it's no longer entirely clear what for.

Except safety, which Jin is... kind of big on. *sigh* We actually had a conversation about this once, when we got all the chapters sorted and got to the one where Jin does not quit being a whore despite becoming boyfriends with Kame, and it went something like:

Solo: We're going to get killed.
Jo: Yup.

So no worries about offensive, we were braced for much worse complaining. ;-) But yeah, even with his current happiness, it doesn't really erase all the bad shit that's made him this... safety-oriented.

We are really happy that Midori is getting people's respect. We want her to get a happy ending too, though within the timeframe of this story she's probably still going to be fuming/sad/fuming/stabbing voodoo dolls that look like Kame. Not that he'd know, he's not exactly high up on her call sheet.

Gazillion... yeah, it's been a while since we've shown them having any sex. We did slip in a little hint that it's not actually been all that long, this isn't the first time since the scandal broke or anything, but we know what you mean, given how porny this epic started, it's become pretty tame now. *g* Sure, sure, it's all Jin's fault. Bad Jin, no blow job. :p

We're glad you approve of our plans for Nakamaru. We thought, if we throw him together with somebody equally loquacious, they can have looooong discussions, looooong into the night, followed by... interesting developments. Yes. *g*

Thank you for your lovely comment!

[ladyc2]

Oh Jin. You can understand where he's coming from in terms of wanting the security, but at the same time the singing job would be so much better for him mentally (and for Kame too).

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we can't say we disagree. :-/

[souleater-angel.livejournal.com]

Heyyyy guess who is super late.... Had a horrible internet problem, went through hell just to read this chapter. Hope it's fixed now. Anyway...

Oh the awkwardness that is Kame and Yuuya occupying the same room... All I could think about was the last time the three of them were in a...room together. Hence more awkwardness. Glad the horrible dishes helped somewhat. LOL at Kame trying to organize them. :D

Grinned like an idiot at Kame's boyfriend chauffeur services. He tries so hard.

Jin seemed so, not Jin with his whole attitude toward the music thing. Of course it totally makes sense in this universe, but I couldn't help but chuckle at this Jin's cautious attitude to the real Jin's 'I don't give a damn I'll do whatever I want' attitude. This Jin's younger, but in some ways, a lot more mature XD. #refreshing *pats him*

Jin and Kame are just so cute when they're together at home. And Jin is so lucky, it seems like he gets pasta every time he comes over! #jealouspastalover

The club makes turducken but not pizza?! What kind of freakish place is this?! XD

And Nakamaru and Koyama... I take it that's not a common occurence to use the club services as more or less a love hotel? Good for them though :]

I'm not sure how I feel about the party with Jun. We didn't get to see Kame's reaction to that, although it probably was another "That's fine" that is totally not fine. Poor Kame-chan.

We get Ueda's blessing! I knew he would be worried about Kame. Ueda's so awesome.

And Jin's whore attitude is totally different now. Poor Jin and his white noise. That needs to be fixed...

Is this the last we see of Midori? I really feel so, so bad for her. It's incredibly painful just to read.

Can't wait to see what's in store for next week!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Meep, we hope the internet troubles are over for you! God, wonky internet is the WORST.

Glad you enjoyed Yuuya. We had a LOT of fun writing this. We'd actually missed him. With so much of Jin's private life revolving around Kame these days, he hasn't been spending much extra time with Yuuya, or really talked to him about THE most pressing issue in his life, and so there's not been much onscreen!Yuuya -- and we were glad to bring him back!

but I couldn't help but chuckle at this Jin's cautious attitude to the real Jin's 'I don't give a damn I'll do whatever I want' attitude.

We take it as proof that real!Jin is not secretly a whore with trauma. We find that very reassuring. *g*

Hey, pizza is for plebes! Of course they don't make it! (Or, well, maybe they do now, after Kame's rather demanding demands.)

But speaking of food, Jin appreciates the pasta that Kame keeps serving him. XD But we agree he gets very spoiled there. [Nobody cooks Jo any pasta but Jo!]

I take it that's not a common occurence to use the club services as more or less a love hotel?

Hmm, probably not. Though more from circumstance than because there's anything wrong with that. We guess if you're an old guy going to an expensive sex club and you have the choice between going upstairs with a hot young guy or a fellow old guy, the odds are not exactly in the old guy's favour. *g*

Yes, poor Kame-chan. Evil clients.

Regarding Midori... she's not exactly keen ATM to have anything to do with Kame, to put it mildly. >.<

Thank you for this wonderful comment, despite internet troubles!!

[ayalonet.livejournal.com]

Arg! I want to shake Jin! *shakes him hard* He's been offered this great opportunity to leave his "Job" and he can't decide because he's afraid the money won't be enough.
He can additionally work part time as a waiter, or at a car-shop, or scrubbing office floors. Something.
I feel bad for him. For THEM. He's so afraid to fall back again and it's understandable, but he's more afraid to take that chance for a better life with a man that loves him. So the money will be tight.. but it will be there! (and I'm not referring here to Kame's money cause if Jin will use it, it might feel like service payment to him. Idk).

So they both suffer. I want my happy cuddly pressure free akame, and not in the epilogue! :(
Midori. I grew to really like her. I hope she will find a sweet, straight salary-man, and that she and Kame will someday regain their friendship.. It's happens you know. Kame needs more friends.

On the other hand, great news! another chapter? *__* why not up it to 60, it's such a round number or better yet - announce a new chapter each week :D I don't want it to end ♥

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

We share your exasperation, but as you're saying, he's afraid... Sorry, sorry.


So they both suffer. I want my happy cuddly pressure free akame, and not in the epilogue! :(

Right, gotcha! *edit, edit* Epilogue freed from cuddles! You're right, it's much more dramatically satisfying that way. ;-)

Midori will totally find somebody else. Because we say so. And yeah, doesn't Kame just need more friends. Maybe one day... but not soon. :/

60? 60?!?!? sorry, not enough plot left we think

Thank you for the encouragement, though, we really appreciate it! <3

Hahaha Jin's bowls are funny!~ But seriously I still fee bad for Kame. Midori was really a good friend and he will definitely miss her company. And Jin's dilemma. He definitely needs to stop his job and yet its going to be difficult to do something else if he wants quick money. It was nice to read Jin, Yuuya and Kame after such a long time. It seems like Jin's friends are acknowledging Kame's presence in his life though they are not exactly 100% fond of the idea. I have been terribly late in reading the past two-three chapters, I blame it on my multiple assignments. But its always nice and comforting to come read a chapter of Same Deep Water at the end of a busy week or two. Its a highlight for me always. I wonder now what will happen with Jin, whether he will work for Koki or continue with his current job... Hmm, shall wait and see, I know the next chapter will be out tomorrow so I'll find out soon! :)

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

He'll miss Midori, and he'll feel guilty for a long time, too. It's hard to say what will be worse, actually. But Midori will miss him too, and be angry and sad, and at least he has Jin, and she has nobody.

Yuuya's not terribly happy to see Kame around, for sure. But he behaves for Jin's sake. *g* At least this way, he can keep an eye on the two of them. And if Kamenashi tries anything...

We hope your assignments weren't too bad! *fingers crossed for your results*

[baybeshyne.livejournal.com]

i cant believe there are so few chapters left!!
im so not ready for this to be over at all.
i look forward to the update every week and have not missed one yet!
im sorry that kame had to deal with so many unpleasantness..but
since he is with jin...id say its worth it!
jin is very cautious about a lot of things...and he has every right to be.
he needs to have something to fall back on to not end up homeless and desparate.
cant wait til next week..
still loving every bit of this!!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

We realized when posting this morning that according to our old plan, today would have been our last chapter and next week the epilogue. So look on the bright side: it got three chapters longer while we were revising! :-)

since he is with jin...id say its worth it!

Ha! We hoped you'd say that. :-) Yes, being with Jin is worth a lot. Even if Jin is still being hypercautious. *g*

Thank you for letting us know you're still enjoying it!

[b_akakame.livejournal.com]

Yuuya helping Jin is quite cute! Although I must admit it shocked me that he's measuring the value of things in blow-jobs and maybe rests and comforts and relaxations even. Does that come with the job or are you secretly working on introducing a new currency to the whore epic verse?
Grey suite. Yuuya puts his foot in a puddle of piss it, here. But good to hear Jin is over this, kind of. Wondered about that some time ago for some reason.

Uuh... mentioning of Jin buying canned coffee and almost the next moment Kame appears. It's magiiiiiiic. 8D

Kame and Yuuya act still so awkwardly around each other. D: But this can't be helped, I guess? It's nice they are both helping, though! And getting along in some weird way. Jin's rice bowls connect people, lol. More magiiiiic.

Okay, but this chapter pretty much answers one of my previous questions whether Koki knows about the two of them already~ And it's sweet that he's giving Jin the chance to meet the JUNGLELOW guys and that he'd also be willing to let Jin be a member of them if they'd agree. I've got the feeling Koki is not only doing this because he wants to do Kame a favour. :D
However as I stated before I still doubt that Jin is made for this business and in general Jin doesn't seem to like changing plans. xD Especially if it's changing rather safe plans into more unsteady ones. :/ But well, I can understand that he doesn't want to risk anything after all he's been through. I don't know I prefer him being not famous here. xD It just fits his character and attiude better. Plus I don't get rid of the feeling that he'd always feel like he'd rely on Kame's connections too much if he'd agree to the deal with Koki but Jin rather wants more independence here.

Waaaah blue curtains? D: Not the purple ones? T___T *pouts*

I don't know yet whether I should be all relaxed and flailing over Akame and all the cute stuff that's going on when they're together or still be anxious because there's too much unspoken between them. Too much they don't really seem to talk about. Too much they're afraid of and too much neither of them can really deal with. I understand that Jin wants his independence, but I also understand that Kame wants to help. And neither wants Jin to continue with his job. Only quitting doesn't work as long as Jin doesn't have enough money to survive for some time without a job and since he won't accept Kame's money...
Argh, this situation is so weird and can give you a real headache, I tell you! D:

OMG KOYAMARU!!!! 8D This would be kinda awesome! Hehe!! And hell, I'd be happy for Nakamaru if there was something going on between them and if it would develop into something real! 8D

Jun recommending Jin surprised me actually! Maybe even as much as it must have surprised Jin. xD It's nice though that at least that works out. X__x The more work the more money Jin gets and the earlier he'll be out. But I feel sorry for Kame. T__T I don't think he ever thinks this way and I have to admit I wouldn't either if I was in his shoes. ;__;

Ueda's cute and it's so sweet that he cares for Kame and gives them his blessings. x) Guess Jin needed that as well!
Grah, if it wasn't for Kame, I would even be happy that Jin's work situation has changed and that even though he still hates it is easier with the clients now and such. Guess that would make it easier for him if he didn't have a waiting boyfriend. D:

Kame won't say anything. Kame will sneak close and not push for anything, and on the one hand that's just another reminder, and on the other it's what makes him smile against the cool zipper of his jacket and feel all warm inside.

Kame's so sweet I want to hug him and tell him everything's gonna be alright. T____T

I still feel so sorry for Midori. I liked her a lot and she really didn't deserve this. But at least Kame has always been good to her and was honest with her in the end. Although it was stil to late, but well. Only she won't see that. But I guess no one would and this is just normal. I think it's good for them that they got that very quick divorce. Maybe... when time comes and Midori has found someone new and will be able to forgive Kame... maybe there's a chance they could be friends again? I doubt that that happens, though. But it would still be nice and I'm also pretty sure Jin and her would be cool together.. teasing Kame and such. It's this ended so tragic. But if it wouldn't have ended, it would have been a tragic ending for Jin and Kame. And that is even worse. xD Never forget the Akame interest here, lol. At least they talked a little in the end and I think Midori can't REALLY stop caring for Kame. Maybe it's just like Jin can't hate Naoki that she can't really hate Kame to the fullest right now? Mwaaaaaah. :/

But OMG I couldn't help but laugh when I read that Midori's last name was Yamaoka (if I got that right *coughs*). Because I have a friend whose Name is Midori Yamaoka and she lives near Uguisudani. I just find that incredibly funny. xD Ehem...

Although I must admit it shocked me that he's measuring the value of things in blow-jobs and maybe rests and comforts and relaxations even. Does that come with the job or are you secretly working on introducing a new currency to the whore epic verse?

That comes with the job. Even Jin's done that before. It's just an easy way to calculate how much you'd have to work to get a particular thing. *g* [Jo: I had a shitty job once, and that totally came with 'god, this cinema ticket costs ONE AND A HALF HOURS of my shitty work. Which, um, did not involve blowjobs. Though then I guess I could have bought more cinema tickets from that. Maybe.] [Solo: when I was a student I used to measure the price of things in the equivalent of pints of beer I could theoretically buy for it instead...]

Hey, you noticed the suit and made the connection. We wondered if anybody would.

No, Jin is a pretty decent singer and he's got a certain something, which Koki noticed during the Open Mic night, or he woulnd't be giving him a chance with a band that's going places. Then again, if Kame hadn't asked, he wouldn't be giving him a chance, either. It's kind of 50/50.

Sorry, Jin is just a little too staid in this universe to go for purple... (also the blue ones were cheaper).

Jin's quite relieved that Ueda is taking it so well... and that the other escorts are being good about it, too, and not giving him hassle. It was hard to know what to expect there. Well, except with Koichi. :/

KOYAMARU 4 EVAH!

Maybe it's just like Jin can't hate Naoki that she can't really hate Kame to the fullest right now?

There... could be some truth in this, yeah. Poor Midori.

Uh, don't tell your friend about this? >_> *g*
