So good! Omg just so damn good! This by far is my favorite explanation on the silver pair origin! Nd omg omg omg! Did choutarou kiss shishido's forehead?! Are my eyes deceiving me?! Aggh! Its so cute! Love this story so much!

Oh how Shishido was with that statement not really a doubles player.

Its hard to think once Shishido never once thought of doubles and now look at the Silver Pair.

Two divas on the court. Lol.

Well written and insightful

for some reason i want more to this story. it could be b/c its good XD. i love that u didnt make oshitari a jerk and mukahi actually likable. usually they're both annoying and jerks. this should have a sequel to it! this reviewer demands it!

Also in the anime, Otori knew Hiyoshi before when they were in... elementary school? But it's okay I guess because it wouldn't fit with the storyline. Am I being very annoying? Sorry...

Thanks!

I think that Shishido and Jirou and Gakuto were child hood friends because in this ova episode in the anime they were together. Oh, then perhaps the manga is different. Just a little statement, no offense intended! I really like this fic! Go Silver Pair!

Thanks!

Oh. My.

It totally wanted to write a story like this; it's been floating around my head for a while, but I couldn't have written it better than this. You even depicted the Taki vs Shishido match the way I would have wanted it, with Taki taking the first game then Shishido making an epic comeback.

The only thing I can say is, You rock.

This rocked, seriously.

This is well-written and I love that you don't rush things. I like how this is real, like it can totally happen, and how Shishido is growing up and learning to be a good friend.

I'm really glad I found this, and I hope I can read more from you.

This story, well, I like it a lot. It brought out the meaning of friendship really well... And, it really had hints here and there about the Silver Pair... Generally, I enjoyed the story a lot!

wow...this is impressively good. Both are really within character. Nice. I really liked this. No words to describe how much I liked this. XD

Very well written! I didn't move at all until I finished the story! Keep up the good work!

Wow, just... wow. Um, okay, first of all, hi. I had kept my eyes glued to the screen, reading and reading until I have finished it. Out of Defeat was wonderful. It was nice, relaxing and calming yet so thrilling to read. And your ending, it was perfect. Everything was. I hope that I could see more from you. )

This was a very good ending. For what you set out to do, that is, tell the story of how Choutaru and Shishido became doubles partners, this story is just about perfect.

I'd like it if you could write more about these two though. I seem to have grown really fond of the Silver Pair, but there isn't a ton of good fics out there for them.

Happy Writing.
