Why this must be read: The title of this post-Kyoto story is apt because it's a great deal of fun to read. It's really just one long conversation - careful, funny, weird, awkward and unbelievably tender in turn - between Hisoka and Tsuzuki concerning Tsuzuki's notions of 'fun' (read: sex!) and how they can possibly coincide with either character's past experiences. There's much discussion of 'issues' in this dialogue-heavy story, and both Hisoka and Tsuzuki have more than their fair share of baggage to rummage through. They talk with, at and over each other in a realistic manner - sometimes sombre, sometimes sparkly, and always striving for sympathy - and it ends up being a healing experience for the characters and readers alike.

“...you said you weren’t interested in people?”

“I’m
not,” Hisoka snaps. “But I can feel you. All the time.”

“Hm,” Tsuzuki says, in the tone of a man who had had that fact, but never actually applied it to quite this subject. Or wanted to. “But... I haven’t, since we met...”

“But when Muraki...”

Muraki’s name comes up about once a month, these days. Usually because Hisoka’s swearing a bloody revenge. Not like this.

Tsuzuki’s face goes perfectly blank. “No,” he says. “That wasn’t fun.”

Hisoka looks stricken. “Sorry-- I--” He folds an arm across his chest, his own unconscious signal for
your emotions are more than I can take right now. “Sorry. Never mind.”

“Right,” Tsuzuki says, shakily. “Um. Hey, look-- balloons.”
