Fine is a Four-Letter Word, by Rana Eros (PG)

Why this fic must be read:
Because it's funny and sweet and gently revealing. Rana's own summary says it best: "Ban gets by with a lot of help from his friends." He's at his cranky, prickly best in this story, where he deals with the aftermath of a battle wound and Ginji, of course, bullies him into taking better care of himself.
One of the things that attracts a lot of readers to GetBackers is the depth of the bond between its main characters, and that shines through wonderfully here. They have a dynamic all their own. As much as, like any two teenage boys, they endlessly give each other a hard time, at the end of the day they're the center of each other's worlds, and know it even if they'd never admit it to themselves.
"Come on, Ban-chan." And Ginji gets out of the booth, taking Ban's sandwich with him. Ban opens his mouth to protest --loudly-- but Ginji's set his jaw and the look in his eyes is somewhere between pleading and commanding. Ban slaps his hand on the table in frustration, gets more pissed at the flash of pain.
"Fine." It's not in him to surrender gracefully, but he surrenders, stalking up the stairs with Ginji close enough on his heels to--
To catch him if he falls. And it's probably a point in Ginji's favor that it feels like too much effort to turn around and smack him for it.
