Why this must be read:
Because it's fun, in character, and a really nice example of an all too rare pairing. In a series full of relationships that have the angst meter turned up to eleven, Watari/Tsuzuki can be a breath of fresh air. This story shows why. There's a relaxed, easy feel that fits characters very well. Watari especially, as Atalan allows us to see a side of his character other than "hyperactive, wacky mad scientist." Neither he nor Tsuzuki have lost their sense of fun, but they feel like adults here.
When Watari showed no signs of stopping soon, Tsuzuki's gaze drifted to his hands on the keys. He had long-fingered, skillful hands, although they were usually dotted with calluses and chemical burns. Watari didn't even look down at the keys; his fingers seemed to know exactly where to go by themselves. Tsuzuki sighed loudly to show that he was bored, but gained no response. Then he rested his chin on Watari's shoulder - still nothing.
Finally he slipped off the sofa and wrapped his arms around the scientist from behind, tucking his chin more comfortably against Watari's neck and burrowing his face into the loose, golden hair that was now effectively blinding him.
The clicking of the keys slowed and finally stopped. Watari leaned back, accepting the embrace, and laughed softly. "Alright, I'm done. You needn't have resorted to drastic measures."
"Drastic? This isn't drastic." Tsuzuki's voice was muffled by Watari's hair. "Drastic would be if I'd gone round the other side of the table and looked sad."
