Yay more of this!

I'm at work, so I can't leave much, but there is ONE note--Takagi-keiji is the visible adult here, so he gets to call John -kun right off. -san is too equal.

Ooh, I see, oops... Should I change it?

Thanks for the comment! ^_^

If you can stand to? Not everybody's a Japanese major, of course, but this fandom seems to be quietly proud of its code-switching skills. For me it really was jarring, but other people's mileage will vary. I did enjoy the Johnson pun, but that's not going to work anymore...

It'd end up just with Takagi calling him -kun. Kaito might twitch a bit, but as the visibly short one he has no grounds to object or really to do much of ANYTHING.

^^; I try to use only simple terms and suffixes when it comes to using real Japanese words, since I'm not quite proficient at them, and most of my knowledge on them are from fanfics too. Does my fic really seem that way? >_<;

Thanks very much, wren-chan, ^_^ I'll edit it as soon as I can.
