"Fine," Kame says, mouth dry despite the water, his hand still hot around the glass. "If you're having such trouble, I have a better idea."

it's so perfect i can't even

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Hee. Thank you! We're so glad we can't even either. *g*

[nightinbird.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Just... WHOA!!!

You sure know how to set things off! There's so many things I'm wondering about now, the suspense is killing me! Like, where did Kame get his issues from, why does Jin trigger a certain behaviour from him, what happened to Jin, and ... basically, I'm already addicted to every single line of their interaction. Really really excited to see how this will continue!

hell yeah, I'm shipping this! ♥

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot! This is certainly where things start to move, and we're glad you're intrigued. :-) (We ship this comment.)

[natsukashi-yume.livejournal.com]

Wow, who knew nice, considerate Kame was such a control freak in bed? I love this "hidden" side of him.. and poor Jin. The tone was so perfectly built, with everything being tense, awkward, unfinished, increasing Kame's and the reader's stress level. Now I'm curious about why Jin doesn't like to be tied down. Not that I blame him! But wow, it was hot.

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, who knew! *g* Thank you so much, this is a lovely comment. And we're glad you found it hot amidst all their issues and tension, too! (Hey, some fun with all the drama, at least. :-)

[rmatsom.livejournal.com]

Nice one...but still don't understand why jin don't want to do it... He is working as escort right? U made me wondering what the reason...

Thank you for your update!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Jin... it's complicated. :-) Thank you for the feedback, it's much appreciated!

[diisa-pinky.livejournal.com]

something happened with Jin?? i mean, he's an escort but he doesn't want to do that with control freak kame~
control freak even in bed... lol!! kame ... you surely don't have to pay for an unfinished situation
thanks for the update ~ ♥

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

No, he really doesn't want to... Kame feels very much like he shouldn't pay too! :-) Thank you for the feedback, it's so nice to read what people pick up on and what they find interesting. Much appreciated!

[lady-aenea.livejournal.com]

You know...? SOmething funny happened to me while reading the part when jin arrives at Kame's apt... I felt like... butterflies in my stomach.... sooo weird

This chapter got me pretty... not confused but anxious? eager to know what's happening... although I KNOW I'm gonna suffer for it XD

As usual your writing is superb, thanks for the update and sorry for the crappy comment, I'm barely awake (but HAD to read @_@)

Waiting patiently for the next chapter... one week seems so much time!!! XD

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Jin totally works for the escort service, it's just... complicated. :-) You'll find out more, we promise.

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Thank you for commenting. More to come in a week! :-)

[sheenalinh.livejournal.com]

now I know I have weekend to look forward to. And I can reread this chapter over and over again while waiting for the next.
This is so fresh, sth that I've been looking for for awhile now. Your characters are so unique and interesting. I love the description of Jin's broad shoulder. It leaves such an impact on me though I don't even know why.
Kame is a freak, demanding freak but I so love him for that
Can't wait for the next chapter <33

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for letting us know what you like about the story. It's always great to hear about some details.

We love Kame, too! :-)

Hope you have more fun with it on the weekend and will enjoy the rest!

[mnemonic-psych.livejournal.com]

i know i still haven't commented on your last post but i just want to say, again:

[jo-lasalle.livejournal.com]

But Moni, how can we be teases? Everything you can possibly imagine is somewhere in this story... (Except for ponies. We're not sure about those.)

[bluelillie.livejournal.com]

Very interesting fic.

I'll be waiting for next week's update!

:)

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Thanks for commenting! We hope you have fun next week! :-)

[silverrain184.livejournal.com]

OMG, just read the first two chapters and I'm hooked!

I like how the chemistry seems to not work between them and everything is just off.

Uh, bad Kame for trying to tie Jin down, bet he has his issues, you don't just start working as an escort for no reason I guess^^

Love the tendion that built up during the chapter and it't horrible to know that you have 52(?) more chapters more or less ready but we'll have to wait to know how it continues (I'm one hell of an impatient person ;P)

Bet Jin will get into trouble now and I can't wait to know how their pathes cross again!

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

OMG, just read the first two chapters and I'm hooked!

We're pleased to have found another victim reader. :D

Yes, it wasn't one of Kame's more sensitive moments, maybe? ;-) But he's got his issues too... unfortunately they don't work well with Jin's. (And that's how we get to 54 chapters!)

You... make good guesses. :-)

Thank you for reading, we really enjoyed your comment.

[shirayuki1582.livejournal.com]

So far I find the story quite intriguing.
My fav moment in chapter 2 is the one when they kiss and to Kame their kiss feels "familiar" or like "something he knows". It's a very subtle moment but it caught my attention.
LOL at Kame's pissed mood. I bet Jin is very far from "incompetent" ;)

Too bad we'll have to wait a whole week for an update ne.

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Thank you, intrigued is great!

We think you may be right that Kame's not the best judge of Jin's relative competence right now. :-) And your comment made us very happy in other ways, but we can't give away too much, obviously.

Thank you so much for the feedback and for letting us know of specific things that interested you! Hope you enjoy the next instalment!

[watashinoanata.livejournal.com]

really really like that^^
I´m curious how they will meet again

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

Thank you for letting us know you like it. We hope you continue to have fun. :-)

[ununoriginal.livejournal.com]

i am FASCINATED. i adore long epic stories and this has all the makings of one, and akame to boot! i shall be looking forward to the updates ^^

[haikuesque.livejournal.com]

You bet it's going to be long and epic! :-) Over 400k words at the last count. Glad to hear you are fascinated - we hope you enjoy reading the updates.

[mnemonic-psych.livejournal.com]

totally OT, but it just struck me: the usernames are haikuesque and haikusociety and...haiku's are short by nature. yet here you both are, posting the epic whorefic skdlfkjs somehow that is just really amusing to me XDDDDD

ANYWAYS. SO. CHAPT 2 :DDDD IN WHICH THEY MEET!!! (finally!! okay I know I'm totally being impatient here, but really, can you blame me XDDDD)

Kame fretting about the tidyness of his apartment sdfkj he's so precious :'). And then

He's seen the picture, so he doesn't stare, but the real thing is something else.

"Good evening," Kame says, taking in the wide shoulders, the perfect mouth, and eyes that make him flush a little when they meet his, because he must have been staring after all.

KEKEKEKE KAME WAS ~STARING~. KAME WAS STARING AT JIN :B :B :B. Why yes, I'm definitely calm and mature about this XD

but Toyoda ARGH gtfo, why are you calling when Jin is sitting in Kame's room :|. STOP TRYING TO RUIN THE MOMENT, YOU WHINY APOLOGETIC WHINER DDDDx my dislike for her is increasing in such a short span of time o_o

"I didn't expect to be here tonight, so the cleaner hasn't been in," Kame says, and then he wonders, impatiently, what he'll find to apologize for next.

Jin looks like it all make sense now. "So this place isn't where you live, it's just for— "

"—when I have to stay in town for work." It sounds sharp, he can't believe the escort would come out suggesting—

Maybe he's overreacting.

Kame is so easily flustered :D. By Jin :D. In total constrast to his cool demeanor amongst coworkers. AWWW KAME :B ♥.

The awkward forced conversation kills me. Kame keeps getting so defensive and Jin is so not talkative and lsdkfjsd i feel slight second hand embarrassment for the both of them XD;;;

BUT THEN THERE IS THE KISSING *________* SUCH GLORIOUS KISSING *__________* they should kiss forever and ever except when they need to breathe. and eat. and shower. and er. well. THEY SHOULD KISS LOTS BASICALLY XD.

But Jin is looking at him, flushed and questioning, and the last thing he wants is more discussion, so he just shifts and moves back in, touching Jin's darkened mouth once with his fingers before cupping the side of his face.

I just want to point out that this is an amazing sentence. Amazing. JIN IS FLUSHED need I say more

Jin flinches and his eyes are wide, startled, going from Kame's face to his wrist caught in Kame's hand, and back.

Like this, Kame thinks out of nowhere.

firstly, O RLY KAME :>. secondly, you two, IC WUT U DID THAR. I see it and I am liking it and I wish Jin would but he has as yet undisclosed ~issues~ :/ and I agree with Kame, there needs to be more of this *v*.

AND OKAY CAN I JUST SAY WHY ARE THEY SO OFF KILTER Kame's frustration, I feel it

his hands tighten in Jin's hair, hold him down and thrust up, up again and this is wrong, he doesn't do this, he doesn't like it like this, he pulls his hands away.

He never does this with Tatsuya.

I don't know what to say except A+++. Kame's conflict and never with Tatsuya and skdjfshd Jin is special.

"Is there anything else I should do?"

Not looking at him like that would be a start, Kame thinks, embarrassed and frustrated and he snaps, "Try harder?"

sldfkjs LOL I just had to snerk at that. try harder ksdjfhsd dying that's so mean and yet sdlkfj SNAPPY KAME ILU ♥

Jin's head goes down again, a breath like he's the one who should be impatient and then he catches "right, for the youth of Japan," just before Jin's mouth closes around him again, and what, who the hell does he think—

DYING. ACTUALLY DYING NOW LSKFJ YOUTH OF JAPAN LOLOL AT A TIME LIKE THIS, jin is smartass skdfj

jin's insolence. i am so torn about this. half of me thinks his attitude is actually there...except he seems to get along nicely with er...his other clients...........and then i think that Kame's just being super prickly about everything. NOT THAT I MIND :D. KAME CAN BE AS PRICKLY AS A HEDGEHOG :DDDDD even though he's a turtle :B #iriguchideguchi

[mnemonic-psych.livejournal.com]

Jin stops with his hands just below the collar when he notices Kame moving. He drops them slowly, uncertainly.

*saves mental image*

The belt still in his hand, he brushes the skin above the waistband, makes Jin shiver again, and yes, perfect like this, and he stretches upward and leans over Jin, who swallows hard and tries not to hold his breath when Kame presses one hand down on his wrists again. Kame feels the startled look run through him hot and sharp, and his voice goes rough. "Let's keep you like this."

um. *raises hand* I agree with Kame......( what :|)

Kame gives him a long, even look. "Do you."

can I just take a moment to express my love for Kame's long, even looks. Because they are the best sldfk ♥

"Watch those buttons," he says. "I can't have someone leave my place looking like they just failed to have sex."

LMAO. LMAO LMAO LMAO SLDKFJSLDKFJSLDKFJSDLFK A+++++++ FOREVER

He's restless, his skin all prickly and wrong, and maybe he should go for a run; but looking out, he sees the rain has started again. He opens the windows again anyway, cool air in his face; but still he feels a flush every time he thinks of that look on— this guy and this is ridiculous.

I agree with Kame again. That's how I feel (except it's not raining outside, it's just cold and dark :<) and yes this is ridiculous because THE CHAPTER ENDED WHAT EVEN SLDKF WHYYYYYYY except luckily chapter 3 is out now :| but i still remember my pain from last week okay

STILL. KAME AND JIN MET!!! AND FAILED TO HAVE SEX!!!!!! this is an epic chapter okay, so much love :D :D :D ♥ ♥ ♥
