Yay! I'm very glad you liked the story. :-)

taguchi is so sweet*pouts*(i wish i had him)

You and me both! Alas, Ryo isn't one for sharing, and gets mean when provoked. Selfish little git... ;-)

I almost thought taguchi really told those jokes for real.:))

:-)) That's great to hear. I'm far from being a natural punster, but Junno's really made me step up my game... plus, I did have some help with some of these. :-)

keep writing, you're good.

Thank you very much - I intend to! :-) And thank you for your lovely feedback!
