Awww, that was sweet. I like the way you took some common Chad/Ryan fic tropes and turned them around--Ryan getting defensive over the way people treat Chad; Ryan being the one to not realise they've been dating, etc. Usually it's Chad doing those things, and although I like them anyway, this was a nice change. (Heck, you even have Chad being the one comfortable on ice skates!)

Plus I just really like friendship fics, and in a way this was that, too. :)

Great job!

And once again few beats me to the punch with a comment that captures my visceral reactions to the story. This was an awesome story. Full of sweet little vignettes. Loved the ice skating scene in particular. And I especially like the fact that they have a solid relationship, rather than just a tentative attraction.

Sweet!

YES. YES. YES.

I loved this. Lots of stories are pleasant to read and give you a nice fuzzy feeling, but there are some moments and stories that go beyond that. This story was just filled with "YAY" moments. Like Chad's casual 'hey, you're totally my boyfriend' moment, Ryan's Rage Against the Machine, and someone finally, FINALLY, acknowledging that CORBIN BLEU (and by extension, Chad Danforth) IS CLEARLY BIRACIAL. Such an awesome moment, and I *love* how understanding Chad's parents are because of that. You've taken all the potential cliches and flipped them over on us, and I, for one, am happy to be upside-down. ^_^

Oh wow. I absolutely loved this!

I don't know if I have anything to say that hasn't already been said before, but all of the scenes were wonderful, but those at the amll and the skating rink were particularly good. I think I love your characterization of Chad's mother!

Lol I loved the idea of chad's mum being a redhead, its different to most fics, and iceskating!Chad is fabulous. All the different things they do are so cute!
