You write them so well. Wish you had written more kakayama. This is definitely the best first kiss I've ever read. I can't put into words how achingly beautiful and bittersweet that whole night was. There should be an option to double-favourite a fic.

Ahh I don't know what to do with my feelings here... This was so beautiful, I'm crying a little...

its abit wrong in the aging. either you have to increase the age apart with 1 more year, or write that kakashi trained with him when he was 8

This is still one of the tenderest stories from Naruto around. Thank you for something so heartfelt!

Hi, probably wandered in here through Crimson's favs.

The background setup for Tenzou vas cool - I particularly liked the implication that Kakashi might have been pulling strings to free him from his isolation. :) I'm not so hot on the watching people get wasted in stories, but it wasn't dominating too badly here. Now, if they had had drunken sex and then groaned about it the next morning, we might have been hitting clichey... ;)

Thanks for this!

I love the background story of Tenzou in this fic. his relationship with Kakashi is potrayed beautifully, equally real and epilogue is great as it ties back to the canon story.

This was wonderfully written, and the story was a pleasure to read. I like the exploits of a drunken Kakashi and Tenzo, and I loved their overall characterization and interaction. It was extraordinary, and the emotion that exuded throughout the story was thick and real.

Lovely job!

awe! the ending was so cute, I liked it a lot :)

this was so beautiful. i was completely heartbroken by the end. i love these back in ANBU fics and the Tenzou Kakashi back story is so intriguing with the way he pretty much hero worships Kakashi in the manga, really makes you want to know what history they had. and this was just so sad yet so sweet at the same time. you really know how to hit all the emotional buttons. i seriously loved every inch of this. thank you.

I absolutely loved this story.

I cried at the end where Kakashi leaves . . .

"I've killed so many people that I've actually lost count."

That is heartbreaking to contemplate.

that was really a bittersweet story...i really could feel tenzou's pain...you did an excelelnt job

Great story! Well thought up and written! Excellent!

But I never thought that Yamato's background would be that sad! The poor guy ...

That was beautiful! I love how you were able to capture their quiet despair without giving it a morbid depressing feel, and I love the ending: perfect spot to leave it open.

Poor Tenzou! I really loved this. So bittersweet.
