BOO YOU POSTED IT :DDDD *loves on you*

You are totally NOT fail or spam. Come on, your first time writing RyoShige and already the fic has such an inescapable RyoShige feel! You already know that I love that suitcase episode and that Shige didn't blow up at Ryo or anything, but rather settled the matter in a calm and loving manner <3 And for some reason I really like how you summarised Ryo's love life "He'd had his first kiss at age 8, first sexual experience at 15 and been steadily dating since he was 14".... Hmm details that make such a difference :)

And then of course the sense of lovely romance pervading this fic even though they don't do all those stereotypical champagne and bubbles stuff. It's real and warm and domestic and just portrays their relationship in such a comfortable and homely feel. Especially the part about Shige preparing iPod playlists... is just lovely.

I promise you you will definitely be writing more to gladden our eyes!

Yes! After an hour of attempts, it's finally up xD (Is your printer back?)

It's because I've been reading your RyoShige's so much. I suppose genius can rub off on others eh? Haha, I actually wanted to expand on his love life but figured that was enough information already! And I mean, come on, he's the SOM right? Cough.

Ah, preparing iPod playlists was my favorite too! That and the red underwear one, cos I think Shige would look hilarious in really really bright red undies xD

I swear, I read that and sort of grimaced and shivered simultaneously. Gem...

No! my printer is still stuck and I don't know why! ;_;

And SEE I told you people would love this fic! (or if I didn't tell you.....I'm telling you now.) But I DID tell you you had good author vibes!

Bright red undies is so....

you finish my sentence for me, boo. :P

Pet it some more! (Did you ever name your printer? I went through one week of finals where I named my printer "Hobbes" after the comic tiger xD)

I don't remember but you probably did? :D And yes, you did tell me I had good author vibes, which made the idea of writing something that wouldn't disappoint even harder!! (And now it's going to be even harder to write a second fic...)

Hmm....
(a) Asian
(b) Cringe-worthy
(c) CNY like
(d) "Dancing with the Wolves" xD
(e) Ossan? :D

Aw, thanks!

Haha, seems like the suitcase is becoming a favorite :] Shige's quite calm whereas Ryo's sort of temperamental sometimes so they strike a good balance in one another. The fic started out as just Ryo and Shige's life together but it was only 200+ words and Gem wouldn't let me post until it reached at least 400+ so, the rest is due to her pushing xD

Yes! It was the RyoShige drought that brought on prodding from Gem. There was a huge influx of RyoShige fics earlier on and then now authors seemed to have stopped. I've been dying for some RyoShige too x.x

I'm pretty sure I'll be writing more fics, only because Gem already said so above xD But thank you for reading and leaving such a nice comment!!

Ah Gem sensei is quite strict, ne? But it's why we love her haha

The suitcase was just. omg. Like a comic relief for the more serious tone of this entire thing. It's not like SUPER serious. It's light hearted but in a realistic sense where not everything is perfect and that is what I LOVE about some RyoShige authors. They just portray that so well.

So you saw the influx of RyoShige as well!!! So I WASN'T dreaming! haha I would write, but I'm so tied up with real life that I can only afford to read and relax with other people's fics. Would it work if I prodded you into writing more? Perhaps when the craziness eases up, I'll drabble a bit in exchange for your amazing fic? yes? haha

[tries to sit patiently to wait for your fics, but gets ansty and starts teetering around] I'll be waiting/hounding after you~ &hearts

You'll soon learn that my comments are not always so...filled with coherent thought. XD

Ah well, she's my boo. And yes, it's totally why we love her :]

The suitcase was added so last minute. I still can't believe everyone likes it! It's surprisingly nice :D I swear I'm blushing right now.

No, you're not dreaming it at all xD There is a total influx except suddenly they stopped writing again and no one is posting anymore. Saddened immensely. Ah, RL is a pain, I totally understand. Don't over-stress, leaving the writing to other people (I do not mean me!) and just relax a bit :] Oh exchange :D But darn, that means I have to write...

Interesting, I've never had people hound after me before. Gem doesn't count cos she doesn't really hound, she just persistently chases and not even really that much. :D How are you supposed to hound me? Haha, I rarely update my LJ in general so you can't comment hound xDD

(That's totally fine with me! :])

Ryo does not finish Shige's sentences or thoughts. Nor does he have a magical sixth sense that tells him where Shige is or what he's doing at all times.

Awww, I love this line the most, only because of everything else that comes after it.

I think that was one of the first lines I had written down :]

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed this!

Ah really? My Arashi ones were definitely a bit worse xD But thank you!

I'll try :D The lack of RyoShige fics sort of makes me yearn for some and before you know it you're thinking of scenarios in your head.

Yep! Spread the love :D Thank you for commenting!

Seriously? This is your first Ryo/Shige? This is fantastic!

I love everything about this fic. It seems so realistic, and the way you describe them doing the little things for each other is so sweet, because those are the moments that count.I love 'the suitcase' and how Shige threw it at him, only to say that he's not going anywhere. OMG, I LOVE THIS FIC IN GENERAL.

Great job!

I never thought I would have attempted RyoShige as my first NEWS fic but thank you for liking this!

Empty suitcase xD It cracks me up still. That was the basis of my idea for this fic, that Ryo and Shige are just normal people in a typically situation, no dying declarations of love or anything as dramatic as that.

Glad you enjoyed this! (And I've been guilty of reading your fics before and not leaving comments so...I'm so sorry! I promise I'll be better about it. I'm rather shy and tend to just read and run x.x)

The Empty Suitcase idea was brilliant! I am really looking forward to more stories...(OR ANYTHING) from you.

O Really, you have read some of my fics? That's such a compliment! Thank you so much! I don't mind you being a silent reader (i was one for the longest time). I am just really glad you told me :)

YAY for RyoShige! Addictive, aren't they?

Oh peer pressure! Eventually you're all hoping I'll cave and write huh? I don't have anything planned right now xD And this story actually formed in my head right as I was about to fall into bed at 4am! I ended up scrambling up again to write down whatever I could on a post-it that I stuck on my lamp. Woke up, the handwriting was illegible and I had pen marks all over xD

Of course I've read some of your fics! Haha. You write a lot of RyoShige! (I've read your recent drabbles and haven't commented yet hehe. I shall this weekend!)

Damn them, they are really addictive. I never thought I'd attempt them first (I was a RyoPi fan for the longest time when I first entered NEWS fandom) but they've got some sort of magical vacuum power.
