Wow. This is a beautiful, sad, little piece. Wonderfully written.

I loved it, even if it wasn't a happy ending for everyone.

Hmm...this does feel inexperienced compared to the some of your other fiction. Have you really done your research? Ryo is so timid, he would most likely deny any attraction toward any male. His honorifics are missing here! Yugi's not very confident in himself nor is he assertive. But, not bad for a first foray into yaoi. I know you can do better!

PS, I hope you don't mind the sudden wave of reviews! :)

okay, you tortured Ryou! Make a sequel, or at least write one with the two of them getting together. then I'll be happy.

That's so sad...

You should think about turning it into a story where Yuuri falls in love with Ryou

Oh man! I do approve of peachshipping usually but it's too sad, Ryou all watching him get ready for someone else! so sad but so good and *shifty eyes* it would be interesting to find out what would happen if Yugi came home and Ryou was still asleep with his jacket... XD

'Ryou’s fingers, which had been buttoning one cuff on the leather jacket still draped over his arm, froze at the words.' At this point I totally froze too. Poor, poor Ryou. *huggles little-Ryou* It was amazing story, I really liked it. Good luck! *hugs*

Oh boy, I found myself in a situation like that not too long ago. Someone asked me if she thought she should ask the person both she and I liked out, without realizing my feelings and I was too chicken to tell her how I felt...sigh...So, I can imagine all too well the pain that Ryou is going through right now, and that is actually a really good thing. I can relate!

On the exact flip side, I liked the humor in the very beginning! And you've honestly never written Ryou? I'd never have guessed. You have him down very well! And I agree; I'm glad my first story like this was heartshipping too.

Your grammar and spelling are spot on, so full points there! Awesome story, and very good luck in the contest!

talk about silent shounen-ai shipping lol! i guess this is just one of the many challenges that lie ahead in testing ur diversity as an author. but i must say i liked it, although it wasn't my favourite from u. probably because i simply detest ryou (lol) but i can't let my hatred of a character hinder my reading a good story, and that it was.

i'm routing for u to win this competition because you're just so awesome, so do "Sakura" proud and win this because you can! Keep this up and you're sure too lol! great job, keep 'em coming _

I genuinelly adored this.

ADORED it.

So beuatiful and touching... I'm actually crying. Just wonderful is all I can say. Pure brilliance.

I loved the twist at the end, when we realised that Yuugi wasn't getting ready for a date with Ryou. That was such a moving moment. And when he fell asleep with Yuugi's jacket... Just breathtaking.

I also really liked how Ryou didn't resent Anzu for it, but just wanted Yuugi to be happy. So sweet!

In short it was utterly amazing. It is unquestionably going to be one of my favs.

I loved it. I just don't think I can say anymore than that- I'm lost for words!

I don't know how it's possible to make something so short so beautiful, sad, and in depth...but you did it. It was fantastic. I almost cried at the end. Poor Ryou...I could feel the pain and lonliness that he felt as he helped Yugi on his date with Anzu. So, so very sad...

Good luck in the contest!

Is there anything about this pairing that isn't cute? XD Awesome fic, loving the angst. Good luck in the contest

I liked it very much

Poor little Ryou; he can probably never have Yuugi. Now he has found Anzu, so.. Well, it was really well-written, and the Ryou-character was also spot on. Yuugi's was spot on for that matter, too. But you haven't written Ryou before :D The research payed off.

Good luck in the contest - Detonate

How cute! This is so sweet, and sad at the same time. I loved the way you wrote Ryou - really nice! Excellent job :D

Aww poor Ryou, hurt and sad to. Makes him adorable too. Hehe Yugi with his hair. Its a good story and i must say good luck in the contest. When will Yugi open his eyes and see that Ryou is in front of him. I could see them as roommates and Ryou taking care of everything at home. He would do anything to make Yugi happy.
