Oh my gosh, Kuroko! He's such a manipulator sometimes.

OMG !
Je crois que je vais la lire plusieurs fois cette fic **!

Oh my God, there is just so much that I want to say after reading this story but it’s so hard putting into words! Well, first off, I should thank you for making a story so great that after years of not reading fanfiction, I need to find more to drown in again. Ha — What else?

Oh, thank you for being the first KnB fanfiction I couldn’t get enough of from start to finish and for making me love the hell out of Akashi. So many other things when it seems like my mind is running up blanks. But just how everything was portrayed and written down — it was like the reader was placed in each narrators’ shoes for moments and it made everything feel more intense and urgent. The build up was the best part, hands down. Perfectly executed. I love it. Just, thank you for writing this at all. Finishing a story, regardless of the level of love and care put into it, is never as easy as it seems.

Where do I even begin? Let's start with I just spent half a day in front of my tablet reading your story and by the time I was done, it's dark outside and I have done absolutely nothing productive besides squeal and roll around in utter giddiness because of your story. Gotta say. I love me some sweet old slow burn. The one that really hits ya too.

So jfc, let's start off with that beginning. I never knew I needed this story until I started reading it and couldn't stop. I LOVE AkaFuri, despite never writing them. And to see how the two started and how it ended was a treat for my heart. Like the bond that they created up until Kouki had to leave. Like I was tearing up, wiped my tears just to tear up again. Like UGH why you do this to us? And then the moment the suitcase switched I just couldn't. I was liked, we're in for some AkaFuri moments now. And that possessiveness of Akashi after dinner. I'm just like yessssssssss. All the way up to the cinema and Reo. My heart breaking like don't do this Kouki. But pfft I didn't see Akashi being drunk the solution. That was a pleasant, like REALLY pleasantly surprised to see. Though let's be honest, he's probably still somehow refined even if he was drunk off his ass. And then the partially possessive Furihata and at that point I was done. This story is like the dream of wanting to see a story come to life, but not wanting to write it. It was so beautiful. And finally the giving in part. I'm just grinning like they're finally together. And that part where Akashi wouldn't let go, but even when he did it was just SO. BEAUTIFUL. Even the last bit. I keep forgetting how weird everyone in GoM is. Jfc. Okay I think I'm done rambling. Truly love this story. Thank you so much for writing it!

This was good. I usually don't like age difference, it makes me squint a bit, but having Akashi as the younger ine kind of erassed the gap a bit, sincw he is so... Akashi xD

Okay. This. Fic. Is. Effing. Adorable!

I love slow build stories, because there's usually much more to the relationship than in plain "we meet, we grab each others' attention, you understand me like no one ever has, I am in love with you and will forever love you" stories. I mean, those can be fun at times, but stories like this one are so much sweeter! Thank you for posting this gem, I'm definitely following you!

oh my...i love it so damn much! well done author-san.

OH MY HELL IT ENDED

WOT

I MISSED IT ENDING?

OTL SHAME ON MEEEEEEEE.

LET'S GET THROUGH MY THOUGHTS ON THE *choke* FINAL CHAPTER EH?

First off, emotionally fluffy stuff in the authors notes was a great comment. XD Good job.

HEADY I forget that that's a word! I learned it from you, I forgot it, you taught me again! -throws up hands- AMAZING.

"swallowed in kisses" is a great phrase.

XD Also, bullying Furihata. Because you haven't been doing that THE ENTIRE FIC AKASHI

Also I feel like Furihata flying away was an alternate ending at some point in time.

Akashi's moment of weakness there was gorgeous. X3 Really showed the effect of feeling strung along for that amount of time, and that was a great detail.

Taking Furihata apart however, mostly sounds terrifying. XD Of course it works in context, but...

"Don't talk about Mibuchi Reo."

No seriously, this is like. Number one first intimate encounter together taboo. XD Like... like you just don't do that!

Furihata, the real one, Akashi says, because there was this one time he met an imposter...

"Please don't call me sensei."
I'm laughing because I've had this experience sort of. XD Not with the word sensei, something else...

"Holy wow."

I feel like that thought coming out of Akashi is just... XD It's just funny. I'm trying to picture Xanxus doing it...

*dies laughing at the mental image for a bit*

Akashi tearing up a bit was sweet. X3

That entire arm wave... that's me. That right there, that's me. XD

Also the "squid" plushie... XD I've seen enough hentai to know where this is-

SCISSORS. XD I'm trying to think of how those would be used in the bedroom. Sensual haircut? I guess? ... I GUESS?

Also devastatingly sparkly is an amazing phrase. XD

Also calling Kise a hooker... XD And a stripper. Poor bastard.

Woah those are some real big-

The rose background cracked me up, too. XD Another of those easily pictured anime moments...

3 fetishes in 1.
It sounds like an advertisement if you put it that way. XD Furihata cologne! It's three fetishes in one!"

We ended on a phallic plushie. XD Only you can get away with this, MeLon!

This was an amazing story, as your work always is! I look forward to the next fic, even though I really am not into Haikyuu at all. XD I'MA GONNA DO IT ANYWAY!

-Loyal reader,
Phoenix

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

LOOK WHO'S FINALLY READING THIS

No joke *gags* I checked the reviews five times to make sure that I had seriously- SERIOUSLY missed TWO WHOLE CHAPTERS of MELON. IT'S NOT OKAY.

TWO CHAPTERS.

HH

So I've been in college for almost a year. *cleans glasses* Uhh so that's cool. I'm cool. HOW YOU BEEN WHAT AM I DOING IN LOWER CASE?

But alas, this is not a PM. v-v AND SO I SHALL COMMENT THOUGHTS ON THE CHAPTER NOW

So WOW it's easy to get back into this story. Like... shockingly easy, I went to the last chapter, reread the last paragraph, and BOOM I KNOW WHAT'S GOIN ON I'M HIP WITH THE KIDS OF TODAY

omigod when this story started...I think... I WAS one of those kids... *audible obnoxious shudder*

I don't care how tiny this moment was, there is something frickin ingenius about Takao the growth. XD I am so deeply okay with this, and I am not okay with that. It was hilarious.

Also, Akashi promotes drinking! Drinking is cool, kids, Akashi says it's quote "a fantastic idea"!

Why did I say quote... and then do quotation marks? That was bad writing on my part, and I apologize profusely for my transgressions. v-v

Heh... transgressions. It's funny cause-

ANYWHO

Akashi you dumb butt stop throwing wine every which way. XD You weirdo, LEARN HOW TO HOLD A GLASS

I love how it was like. "appalling little giggle" and then it was like "giggling." He's GIGGLING

It cracks me up. XD The heavy emphasis on just how WRONG that felt.

I love how you can thread your sentences into layers of punctuation. XD You put a part of a sentence in dashes, and then put a phrase in the dashes in parentheses, and it comes out with perfect flow all clean-like. Fantasmic. :D

OH MY GOD THEY MURDERED AKASHI

The Akashicorpse had me dying a little. XD Again, another short-lived joke that really got to me.

"I'll always take care of him."

Good show, Furihata. *golf clap* Good show.

Okay, Akashi being dragged to the bedroom was so frickin' good. XD "You brought me to your bedroom... How forward." Like I'm at a state of slight confusion where I have no clue if he was acting through his drunkenness to get the help of his friends or not, but like. Either way Akashi with no filter was hilarious. XD

Also Furihata's "almost choking" is another of those deeply relatable moments that you wrote perfectly. ...why is relatable considered misspelled by my autocorrect, am I spelling that wrong? ...well I'm not fixing it! D8

I love how many references to heat and electricity you have in this. Gooood shiz~

Also "sex appeal out of no where" for some reason makes me think of asexual reproduction, and then I thought of akashi reproducing by budding...I'm gonna stop riiiiight there.

I don't even know how my train of thoughts do these things. v-v

Yes. Yes, Furihata. A bookmark. Will wonders never cease, you poor, poor unfortunate soul.

You brought the point of him being heavy back around! Who's a clever author?! Who's a clever clever author?! ISSYOU!

"this is what hurt looks like" Another good line!

I love how many times these poor children were metaphorically stabbed in this chapter. I think I counted three times but there might be more that I'm just not quite remembering. XD It got to a point of "My GOD you guys have violent feelings!"

"Honey glazed emerald eyes." That sounds like a good name for a cereal brand. :D

XD You tried so hard, Furihata. You tried so hard to call Akashi cute. But you failed.

The romantic kiss was precious, I love all of the phrases you wove into that. Showing off your mastery of English again!

Boneless in Akashi's arms - yet another relatably (that's also misspelled fite me google) nice phrase - is it relateable? No? Relay table? I mean...

Anywho

Also legs are obscene.

XD I'm just... I'm dying over here my hell. Good job. All of this is good shiz, and I miss this fic. And I miss your writing overall! :O

I'mmma gonna read the next chapter! BE BACK SOON!

Also Happy Easter!

-le long lost Fa Fa Fa Feenicks

Tbh, I am one of AkaFuri fandom, and your story is prove that I always be.
This story so cute, good job

Such a nice way to end it all.

Loved it :)

I love the epilogue. And... Everything else that happened in this story. Good job! D

Thanks for the update, author-sama!
And YES! I love Haikyuu! Hahahaha.

SQUEEEEEEEE! This is so cute! This was one of the first stories I read when I joined FanFiction and it's nice to see this!
