Ow, poor Cloud T.T Though, your right in this probably being the most realistic reaction is Barret were to remain calm during that little...confession. Just damn.

Love this pairing by the way, though I have no idea why 0.o but thanks for adding to the small selection of fiction for it! Us Barret/Cloud fans appreciate it!

Wow, I love this little piece. I'm very fond of this pairing, with its sense of depth and comfort, and it could certainly do with more fics.

This particular fic was wonderful, the subtle and tasteful style and the delightful characterization. It just has that certain something, not quite angst, not quite fluff but still something very powerful and nearly impossible to pin down. The writing style is well flowing and nice to read, conveying every nuance just right.

The story's title is well chosen, describing the heart of the whole story well, giving away the meaning but still keeping the secret.

Great fic.

This is the first Barret/Cloud fic that I have ever read and this makes me want to read more! I hope to see more from you in the future.

That was pretty cool, you don't see many pairings with these two in them. You pulled it off very well, and the way it ended without using a sappy confession was a big plus. Keep writing stories like this and you'll gain a lot of fans. :)
