HOLY MOTHER OF BOB you weren't kidding when you said emotional. My throat is all tight and my heart is pounding. You have an amazing ability to write down the emotions of others. Part way through i thought about just stopping to calm down from the sheer intensity but the idea of not reading till the end just seemed way to absurd. That was wonderful and i am envious of your talent. I can't wait for the next chapter.

You know I love you right? n_n
I'm super glad you updated in the morning!

I was somewhere between 'Awww' and *sob*.

The date itself was sweet and funny.
Due to the fact that they were both really nervous.

The bedroom scene, was romantic and sad at the same moment.
Two boys who fell deeply for the other, and each of them worrying about the other.

And Sasuke's thinking about his brother made me shed a tear, but it was merely out of love.

Such a lovely/sad chapter.
I can't wait to see the aftermath.

I have been reading this story since the first time you posted it on AFF, but I haven't sent in a review until now. It's been months since I began to read, and I knew from the moment I started that this would be a story I followed until the end. I remember seeing your introduction and explaining how much this story meant to you, and I immediately knew that it would be something amazing because of that.

I have to say, honestly, I love EVERY moment. Everything. From the awkward tension to the sappy realizations. I love the characters, the way you've developed them, how you allow the reader to understand Sasuke's innermost feelings and confusions. I love the relationships between Kakashi-Sasuke and Iruka-Naruto, and all the combinations in between. I love every side character and how each one has had some sort of impact on the main story, whether it be a small or large contribution. I love how real this story feels and how I can relate to so many situations. I love how you don't just allow everything to fall perfectly into place and show how life is not perfect; that one must work hard to achieve something remotely close to perfection, and even then it is full of flaws.

Every time you update I grow so excited. Seeing a new chapter makes my day. This story has left me so emotional in both good and bad ways. I feel nervous when the characters feel nervous, angry when they do, sad and worried and sympathetic. I could go on and on. All I know is that I never want this to end, though I know that when it does, I will be perfectly satisfied.

I am seriously addicted to your writing style.

It really hurt to read this chapter. If I knew it was going to end like that I don't think I would have read the chapter. It would have been better if there hadn't been any sex at all. I'm not sure what to say. I love this fic, but this was so very sad. I hope there are better things to come even though right now everything seems bleak.

Okay... Damn! That was...whoo. Deep. I assume this is why sasuke ran away, back to Orochimaru and the city. But this chapter was so well written that...! Just awesome. This story is building up so much that I cant wait for it to finish to see where it goes, but then again I never want it to end!!! Well, all good things do come to a end as this chapter has and so is this review. Cant wait until next chapter!!! Loves, Hugs, and Kisses

He was hiding behind important happenings in the city and didn’t see Sasuke shaking as his hand gripped the fork so hard his knuckles got white.

Naruto hadn’t seen anything either.


It's all so sadly clear now. Poor, poor Sasuke!

I don't really know what to say except...magnificent work. Your writing is so poignant, so subtly descriptive, so real. Can't wait to see where you're taking us next.

Amazing job describing Sasuke's experience w/ Naruto, a very powerful chapter. Please update once more when you have the chance.
