God, I love the way you write *is incredibly happy to see you writing for this fandom again*
I can't even begin to say how much I loved this (the fact that it's Collegeverse, which has burrowed itself into my little heart, aside) There were such wonderful little and not so little moments, like the yellow phone on a stack of books and learning to use chopsticks and the walk around town and Kurogane talking and reciting history and closing Fai's hand around the ice cream cone and the TV being muted and Kurogane refraining for, okay, 36 hours, and the use of his full name and the hesitation/catch in I spent the past decade of my life fixated on my brother's – my brother and I would probably end up quoting half the fic back to you if I started, so I won't. But oh, how I liked this, and how alive and from-the-real-world it seems.
One thing I didn't understand, though, was how this line of Kurogane's Knew I shouldn't have taught you any Japanese,” tied in with the moment. Did the fact that Fai learned some Japanese give him the idea for the structure of the nicknames (what with Kuro-Kuroi-black)?
