...So I had to promptly go back and reread the rest of this series, because it it so good. The interaction between Tsuna and Xanxus here is so beautiful, and so hot, and so broken. I really do love how Xanxus is slowly starting to come to terms with Tsuna actually caring about him. And coming to terms with the fact that some of his assumptions about sex are not quite as rock-solid as he thought they were. I also like Tsuna's casual-but-thorough appreciation for Xanxus' body throughout this series.

Also, I suspect that if Tsuna is at all successful at instilling some measure of bedroom manners into Xanxus, he's going to start getting some very odd looks from Squalo now and again. ^_^

"Mm. Yes. We've been having something of a philosophical discussion. He stops by every time he wants to try a new argument." *dies laughing* Well, it's not inaccurate. And I love how present Tsuna's other people are in this, even though they aren't central. I've always sort of pictured Tsuna's Family perpetually sort of living in the back of his head, so it really works for that. And, of course, I love Takeshi being perfectly relaxed, even when he isn't; and Hayato (still) being a total spaz, and thinking he is so smooth at covering it up; and Kyouya being more predictable (though, really, it's the bits you can predict that you should be more worried about, with him).

Great story.
