Why this must be read:

I really fell behind on the recs this month, and I apologize profusely.

I may be squeaking this rec in at the last minute, but that doesn't mean it's not well worth your time. This story finds Shin and Yankumi discovering their feelings, and one another. Most Gokusen fic has Shin aware of his feelings well before Yankumi (it's canon, after all!), but Yankumi is as aware and off-balance as Shin in this story.

This is sweet, and the perfect pick-me-up after a long day.

It is a month after Yankumi starts teaching at Shirokin, and Shin is trying to figure out when his heart began giving a little jump every time he saw her, or when those idiotic faces she made stopped being idiotic and became kind of cute, or when he started freaking smiling around her and he thinks to himself: Damn it.
