We're happy you're finding some love for the non-smutty chapters. :-) Yes, Kame's past... /nodnod

Thank you for commenting! :-)

"he doesn't need weird thrills or someone like Jin, who may be beautiful when he's all spread out for Kame to touch" ...are you sure about that Kame? There were so many tantalizing hints this time around, for both of them. In Kame's part, the mention of the scandal and him comparing Midori to someone. I really like Midori. :( In Jin's part the mention of a Naoki. It might be the late hour, but were we already meant to know who Tanaka is to Kame? I can't seem to remember him being mentioned. All the cameos are so much fun.. and I spot a Yamapi! (Tomo?) Hm, useless comment is useless.. looking forward to next week when both of them realize "it's not over". :D

From:

Kame... thinks he's sure about that? ;-) Kame is a sad deluded failbunny.

Tanaka was only mentioned from Jin's POV so far, so no, you have no way of knowing yet how he fits into Kame's life.

We're really happy you like Midori! Female characters who are married to one half of an OTP don't tend to be very popular.

Yep, you spot a Yamapi. Tomo appreciates your identification skillz.

This is so not a useless comment. It made us very pleased. We hope you enjoy next week's chapter, too!

These chapters make my Thursdays special! <333

Ridiculously happy that Jin gets to sing in this verse! And there's Pi!!! :D
I really like the scenes on set, too. The difference between the Kame there and the Kame with Jin is striking; and I'm intrigued by all the tidpits of info about his costars and the industry that are worked into it.
I wonder who made Kame feel like he has not enough taste, but I guess we'll learn that at some point. ;)
Ecited to see how things will continue, and if Kame will go through with his plans of seeing Tatsuya!

From:

Comments like this one make our Thursdays pretty awesome too! XD

The difference between the Kame there and the Kame with Jin is striking

*authors squish you inappropriately* Ahem. Yes. We're glad that comes across. It's important to us that Kame isn't always... like he is with Jin. *g*

Pi is well-spotted! And you are intrigued by the right things. :-) Not giving anything away on Tatsuya but... there'll be a bit more Tatsuya...

Thank you for this lovely feedback!

Hmmm interesting. Kame doesn't want Jin anymore? Or maybe he just wants Jin to think that. And ask for him later?
Jin singinging about the little elephants with a long long nose! Hilarious!! And Pi is introduced to the story? Awesome!
Ah thanks for sharing this and waiting to find just how long Kame stays away from Jin.

From:

Hmmm interesting. Kame doesn't want Jin anymore? Or maybe he just wants Jin to think that. And ask for him later?

Kame likes to think he doesn't want Jin anymore. He is not always the best judge of what he wants, tho. *g*

Yep, there's Pi. (Jin is glad there's Pi. And singing.)

Thank you for commenting! We hope you'll enjoy finding out about Kame and how staying away from Jin works out for him... :-)

diisa-pinky.livejournal.com

aaaaaaww~ why Kame didn't want to booked Jin again??
omg i say booked, it make Jin looks like a restaurant or something lol
Tomo is Pi isn't it? can't wait for more~
Kame and Midori is really not fit with each other i guess, their relationship kind of boring :p *kidding*
*i was asking for more already? ok then*

From:

Hey, the escorts talk about booking too! It's a classy restaurant, reservations only. :-p (or yours)

Yes, Tomo is Pi. And Midori and Kame are complicated. Though theirs is not the most exciting marriage, no.

More to be served at the restaurant of your choice on Thursday. ;-)

From:

souleater-angel.livejournal.com

ahh Kame is in such denial ne... *No need for me to think about that incident anymore. it would never even cross my mind to waste one more thought about it. it was interesting but is in the past. i don't need to give it another thought. nope, not one more thought...nope...* ...yeah...

poor Jin, still... XD

two and a half years?! congrats for actually finishing! *pats* can't wait for next week's chapter :]

From:

Yep, you pretty much got Kame's number. :-)

And yeah, poor Jin. Poor Jin indeed. Boy needs some sympathy.

And thank you! We hope next week will be fun even with boys in denial and stuff. *g*

Oh, .. I really want to kick the ass of this Ootomo-guy, so much!!!
And Kame in this fic ?!? ... He pisses me off a little .. maybe a little more :O
hhrrrr .. still, thanks for update .. I look forward to the next one, kay?
^^

From:

Hey, for once Ootomo was trying to be constructive. ;-)

To be honest, we're kind of surprised more people aren't a bit pissed off at Kame, it was our main worry that he has these tendencies to be not so... nice. So, um, we totally get where you're coming from. We do hope he can still manage to win you over/back. Eventually.

Thank you for the feedback!!

Kame, Kame ...

The truth is He is my secret love :) so I like all of his characters you guys write ..
And in this story maybe he pisses me off but still he is my best .. hehe it`s my Kame centrism, ne?
bey^^

From:

And in this story maybe he pisses me off but still he is my best

Just hold that thought. :-) It'll turn out all right in the end.

great follow up chapter! =)
getting familiar with how their lives are after their 'appointment' together....and seeing how jin is outside of work.
im still trying to familiarize myself with all the people from the film...lol
im wondering about kame's 'scandal' that he mentioned!
so...of course...im super excited for the next update already!!
thank you for sharing!

From:

Sorry about all the people from the film... we should have made Kame a hermit or a lonely poet, then we wouldn't have these problems. :-) But glad you enjoy seeing their regular lives.

Kame tries not to think much about the scandal. ;-)

Yay for excitement! :-) Hope you enjoy next week, there'll be a few more details and stuff.

From:

Well this is one of the two most interesting fics I've read so far this year! And I guess it's safe to say that it's already made it into Top 5 of last year, too!
What should I say, it's non-cliché, absorbing and uke-Jin! Oh gods it's so nice to read some uke-Jin for a change!
The characters are well-thought-out and deep and I totally don't know what to think about Kame by now XD But that makes it even more thrilling :)
But you know... if the fic is already finished... why don't make a daily update? D: Or all at once would be even better. Mou I hate to wait XD That's why I only start to read fics when they are finished.
But well I bookmarked your page and continue reading even if it'll still take 49 weeks from now. A year... It's okay I only have to wait 6 days from now till you'll update, it's cool...
Post a long chapter, will you? ._.
-ramble end-

From:

Hey, great to hear from you! :-) We're glad you find it so interesting. And thank you for the lovely praise. *authors bask*

Yes, Kame is likely to confuse people for a while yet (not surprising, since he confuses himself, really).

Re uke!Jin, Jin is kind of what the client wants him to be, but since a lot of the clients agree that uke!Jin is a good thing... ;-)

(Also, we too like him that way... *cough*)

Sorry about the lack of daily updates, but it's not actually finished enough for that. All is explained here. (http://www.haikuesque.net/deepwater/dwwaffle.htm)

Only five days now!

From:

Uh I well. stalkered you a bit and noticed that at least one of you is german!
Und ich war so enttäuscht gestern als ich meinen Wortwitz über die fesselnde FF nicht bringen konnte... Ich bin so ärmlich, dass mich solche Einfälle erheitern XD'

Yeah Kame seems like the typical traumatized suppressing guy who can't accept who he is and what he likes and Jin is just the poor Boy who get's it all because hiding won't work forever and someone just has to get it so that Kame can continue to be the good hetero guy in public XD

Well uke!Jin is teh hotness! I mean come on, this guy is by far girlier than Kame could ever be with his soft features and high voice and I bet if he wouldn't have those broad shoulders ~~and huge nipples~~ and Kame wouldn't have this pansy attitude... well but they have so I can guess where the ideas come from
But whenever I see Jins thin long legs I really wish I'd be Kame and I think I should stop now

Okay I guess I have to accept the waiting XD But just so you know! I think if you'd be reeeaally boring and manage to update sooner, that'd be okay for all of us readers :)

From:

Awww, die fesselnde Story gefällt uns aber auch verspätet. Ist auch das richtige Fandom für geniale (oder andere) Wortspiele.

Return stalking reveals that you have a HAWT banner. /random information

The gender stuff with Akame is fascinating, isn't it? While I think it's totally fair to not see Jin as an uke (though boy, what they're missing... *g*) I never understood the idea that Kame is *girly*. Quite apart from the very hairy legs and all. Or if he were, he'd be one bossy, emotionally prickly girl.

From:

Oder andere haha. Genau

Well it wasn't that hard to get a hawt banner, I mean it wasn't me who did all the work, ne XD But you've got a HAWT Icon yourself! Kame's got a sexy back! (Justin Timberlake Ohrwurm now) /random information 2
Sry you got nothing intersting to read since this journal is consume only haha

I never understood how people could write fanfics about guys being mistaken for girls for ages, although they even spoke with each other and stuff (but enjoyed to read some nonetheless) and now that I finally found a guy which ~~would be~~ WAS convincing (enough) as a girl (with broad shoulders) no one makes use of it but puts Kame in drag?! Wae? Kame was so NOT sexy in his sailor uniform with his hairy muscular legs and all D: (I enjoy reading those fics nonetheless, so I guess this discussion makes has no point, but it HAD to be said! :<)

He would be totally bitchy! He would be a Permanently PMS Prada Whore. Prostitute would have been better 'cause then it would have been PPPP but it doesn't suit as good as whore, I think...

No i think he wouldn't be that bad. I liked how you characterized him in your other fic, I guess he'd be something like this! (surreptitious advertising)

From:

Sry you got nothing intersting to read since this journal is consume only

Ah, that explains that! I wondered if you were just especially sekritive. :-)

and now that I finally found a guy which would be WAS convincing (enough) as a girl (with broad shoulders) no one makes use of it but puts Kame in drag?!

Kame is shorter? *eg* Seriously, though, Solo and I once ran Jin and Kame through a face converter software to see 'what they'd look like as girls', and Kame turned into a cute girl, and Jin... looked pretty much exactly like Jin. I giggled over that for ages.

Kame as a whore scares me a little bit. But PPPW, totes.

Oh, you mean the Christmas date one? (I should say the one who got Kame in drag was Solo. She's evil and efficient that way.)

From:

Yeah sry I think my live is just not exciting enough to write about it D:

Yeah well he's shorter and more narrow build so that's why I understand why everyone wants him as a girl part since he's more the type which seems to need protection. But he has so masculine face feautures, I'd never mistake him as a girl D: not even my brothers did that and they say that about almost every one of my japanese fandom boys XD

I'd like to see Kame as a girl, too o.o If seen some photoshoped pics but he didn't looked that pretty even though the girl worked hard XD
But I would have bet my Splash Porno tissue advertisment which I got in Tokyo, that Jin wouldn't have changed much. And I really love and treasure it! Wish they would hand them out in germany, too. ~~Also I wish the other guy with the Host Club tissues would have given me one.~~

Scares you? oO Although it's always him who's the whore? XD
Although I haven't read that much whore-fics in this fandom. Seems more like a J-Rock thing.

Yes I liked that one, it was cute and hot and I laughed a lot. Well Kame in drag was okay here, since noone mistook him as a girl (maybe the old geezer with the Louis Vuitton Bag (I had to google this name, I'm so not-girly really. Kame would be horrified) but I think it was a kink) and well dunno, it was okay

And may I say it, Evil minds write the best fanfictions :)
(btw may I ask, do you split the roles and so it kinda rpg-like or write the whole thing together?)

From:

I can't find the post we made with those pics anymore, or I'd link you. :-/ The results were really pretty amazing.

What are Host Club tissues? *very curious*

Maybe the old guy needed glasses. *g* But don't forget, Kame can do anything when he puts his mind to it.

Evil minds are evil, but sometimes they do okay. *g* And no, we don't split the roles. I think we very very briefly floated that idea at the start, but the one who would have had to write Kame whimpered that she didn't want to write repressed!fuckedup!Kame for months (ha ha). And I don't think we could have sustained this with just one of us writing some very long chapters solo.

From:

In Japan there are guys (and girls) who hand out a package of tissues with some advertisment stuff on it
(lookie here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue-pack_marketing)
When I was in Shinjuku in march some girl handed me a packet of tissues with dodgy advertisement. It's called splash and is a Ikeike Girls Bar. I can't understand much, but it costs 15.000yen/90 minutes XD
Well and since it was Shinjuku and they promoted the Host Clubs like everywhere I'd have prefered a tissue package with a hot guy on it, instead of this creepy manga lookalike girl D:
But it's blue and pink so it's okay lol

Yeah Kame is stubborn like a pitbull if he gets his mind on sth D:

Maybe that's the best way to write a fic together. Those which started as an RPG are mostly tiring to read afterwards :/

It's here: http://jo-lasalle.livejournal.com/152310.html

Jin 'as a guy' totally cracks me up... *g*

From:

Honestly... they creep the shit outa me D:

After seeing this I'm so happy they look like they do.
I swear I'll never ever complain about how they don't look good D:

But when I squint my eyes a bit I think that Kamegirl and especially Jingirl would be real beautys
(why is Kames nose so wide btw? He has perfect girl brows though XD)

Jinman makes me shudder. Not in a good way.

But Jingirl looks so mature... that's just unsuitably XD

mmm... I think I don`t like Midori ;-p
Kame shouldn`t think not to see Jin again, because he will see him again ^^
Like the image of singing Jin aaaah
and finally a little Pi ^^
the scene with the phonr was good, loled so much :-D
Really liked it and waiting for the next chapter

From:

Poor Midori. Kame cheats on her, you don't like her... ;-)

Glad you like the singing and Pi. And we're happy the phone call was entertaining.

Thank you for letting us know about these details. Hope you have fun next week too!

From:

SORRY i am horrible with timing, i was trying to finish a question +___+ BUT ANYWAYS, ON TO HAPPY STUFF :D

Kame doesn't even know the meaning of half the terminology that gets thrown around for the next few minutes as cell specs are being compared

skjdfsd SO TECH SAVVY, KAME :B

It'll be good to get back to normal, now that that Jin guy is dealt with, no matter how much of a turn-on that— it's just not Kame's kind of thing, not really

O RLY 8D

Press is part of the job, and he's learned how to charm them, how to make them useful; he had to, after the scandal, or his career would have been ruined no matter what he denied. He depends on hungry gossip rags as much as the more legitimate magazines for his promotions, his visibility. But it always feels like a gamble, judging what he needs to give them to keep them safely satisfied and at a distance. There are no reporters among his friends and he doesn't talk to them unless he has to.

I just really like this para, I can't explain it :x

"You look good together."

That… Kame throws her a quick, cautious glance, because that isn't exactly the comment he's been looking for, not what he wants anybody to think about pictures of him with other men. But she just looks pleased, appreciative; and she's right of course, they do look good together. Kame thought so himself.

"Yes. We hit it off well. And somehow Soga Jou… you know what he's like, he sees things… puts them in pictures." It gives him pause, but only briefly.

"Yes." She smiles, studies the other picture of Kame and Morioka, then the first one again. "These are really good."

Fanservice, Kame thinks to himself. It can be fanservice, nothing's wrong with that, it's safe, everyone knows that.

>> << >>...this. this relationship they have is. interesting >>...i'm not sure how I feel about Kame er, being like this >> << >>....

But. Midori wouldn't make a fuss if he said no, she wouldn't complain about his taste or lack of it, not like—

He stops the thought, taken aback. He doesn't know where that came from all of a sudden, he stopped these thoughts so long ago.

SLDKFJSDLFSDKFSLDF this is so pleasing >)

Utter conviction in this one, and Toyoda can read the subtext, too. She stays in character, though, doesn't look any more upset than her no-nonsense physics teacher is meant to be by an irrational outburst, and exchanges the scripted wry look with Kame as Matsura turns and sweeps out of the chipwood construction that is the teachers' common room; only then does she sag a little.

Kame sighs. That'll be a re-take. Matsura's character is supposed to be grateful to him, not come on to him.

oh wow o_o filming politics o_o this is intense o_o drama drama x| poor Kame...

"You're going to cover it with a hat, Kazuya," Midori calls from the hall. "I'm sure every strand doesn't have to be perfect before you ruin it all again."

Kame scowls at his mirror image in the brightly lit bathroom and turns away.

SLkdfjDSFL i can see this happening XDDDD with his floofy hair and all SO CUTE :D ♥

And if the escort had just done his job properly from the start, he could have had an easier time of it, or if he hadn't opened his mouth or looked at him with that provocative… something, that way of being all distracting eyes and clumsy meddling that Kame doesn't need, least of all from someone he's paying for a service. If the man needs to be shown who's in charge, Kame can do that, and he's made that perfectly clear, too. It even turned out more arousing than expected.

And he can stop thinking about it now; he's made his point and he had a very good time, got it out of his system, that man and the things he makes Kame want to do which he never wanted to do before. Made him want to do, because it's over.

That's right, keep thinking of Jin :DDDDDD NEVER OVER :DDDDDD when are they going to meet again T_T......

From:

So he turns the page, and feels something cold and uncomfortable rush through him at the picture of Kamenashi, looking out at him from next to a long article, all bright smile and determined eyes.

why cold and uncomfortable :( why not warm and fuzzy...skdjfh JIN STOP BEING SO COMPLICATED i mean what are your issues :( what's wrong :( IT'LL BE OKAY, KAME'S A NICE GUY, YOU'LL SEE

if his league of housewife fans had any idea what the guy gets up to in his spare time—

Wrong turn. Wrong, wrong turn, he doesn't need this. This is his day off, he doesn't want to think about Kamenashi and what Kamenashi gets up to and might want to get up to in the future. No, he just wants Kamenashi to go back and be happy with Tatsuya, who seems to like him so very much, and he can leave Jin the fuck alone.

:( :( :( :( also I'M SURE TEENAGE GIRLS ARE ALSO KAME FANS and secondly, don't you want to see him even a little :(.............T___________T this is depressing, jin's resentment :(

He turns to Jin, and they share a small smile about nothing in particular.

PIN BFFERY FTW :DDDDDDDDDD

But then Ootomo surprises him, sounds almost understanding. "Look. Jin. I know it's your day off. I'm not going to make you go. But you don't exactly have a fantastic track record with making the clients come back for more, so if I'm offering you an easy comfort with an uncomplicated client… I'd think about it, if I were you."

i hate that Ootomo has a point. you suck Ootomo, IT'S HIS DAY OFF i don't care how many points you have :|||

"I think you managed not to offend him this time around," Ootomo says curtly. "I called him about you, and let's just say he was kind. But he didn't want to book you again, either, that much was clear."

It takes a moment to sink in because this… is more than he'd dared hope for. "It was clear?" he asks. "I mean, you asked him? And it was clear?"

"Pretty damn clear, yes."

"Are you sure?"

Now Ootomo's voice turns strict. "Jin, let it go. Play in your own league."

Kamenashi isn't interested in booking him again. Thank fuck. "Sure," Jin mumbles through the relief, and, "I'm sorry," for good measure.

YOU DON'Y HAVE TO BE SO HAPPY ABOUT IT you know pining angst is painful but i can take it. BUT THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE EACH OTHER ~~even if they can't get each other out of their minds~~. WHY. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO CRUEL :|||||||||

Eleven means he could still do his song, if they let him go on early. Normally he wouldn't, he doesn't like the idea of mixing it up, an evening like this and then going to see a client afterwards, but he doesn't care. He can do his song, like every week, and it's going to be fun and then he can do an easy, uncomplicated client and it's not going to matter, and he doesn't have to go back to Kamenashi, ever again.

:( :( :( Jin doing is song was such a great happy positive bit.......but then the last part was like, HERE LET'S RUIN THAT BRIGHT MOMENT WITH A BUCKET OF COLD ICY ANGST :|. perhaps you're being too generous with doling out portions of angst :||||

"I can watch the bar if you want to take a turn after me," he says, because he doesn't know when Tomo's girlfriend will come in tonight, to help out, and he's happy when Tomo says yes because Tomo enjoys the singing too. "I don't have to leave before nine," he repeats, smiling again, not caring. He doesn't… yeah. It's all good.

at first I was like awww Pin bffery and still JIN SINGING :D! but then. considering that you ended it this way, you're going to ruin jin's night aren't you :||| his plans will get cancelled for some random client who isn't even Kame :( :( :(

i just want them to be happy together, is that too much to ask T_______T

From:

why cold and uncomfortable :( why not warm and fuzzy...skdjfh JIN STOP BEING SO COMPLICATED i mean what are your issues :( what's wrong :( IT'LL BE OKAY, KAME'S A NICE GUY, YOU'LL SEE

In the interest of good customer service, we will let Jin know he should get over his issues about freaky guys with ties already on your behalf. He's used to people telling him that, so it won't come as a huge shock. ;-)

Glad you like the Pin. *g*

i hate that Ootomo has a point. you suck Ootomo, IT'S HIS DAY OFF i don't care how many points you have :|||

Awww. Ootomo can't win, can he? we love this comment, for acknowledging Ootomo's point. he's not all bad, but Jin likes to bitch about him too so you're in good company

YOU DON'Y HAVE TO BE SO HAPPY ABOUT IT you know pining angst is painful but i can take it. BUT THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE EACH OTHER even if they can't get each other out of their minds. WHY. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO CRUEL :|||||||||

That's life. Life is harsh and cruel and sometimes you have to work overtime and sometimes you get crazy customers... Also, what's to like?

:( :( :( Jin doing is song was such a great happy positive bit.......but then the last part was like, HERE LET'S RUIN THAT BRIGHT MOMENT WITH A BUCKET OF COLD ICY ANGST :|. perhaps you're being too generous with doling out portions of angst :||||

No, no, no, we're not ruining Jin's night, he's getting a really nice and easy assignment and nobody will tie him up. :D Jin considers that a total win. ;-)
