Pay Attention Please

Title: Pay Attention Please
Author: Annie D.
Pairing: Rukawa/Sakuragi
Rating: PG-13

So I just finished reading Slam Dunk like two days ago. Slam Dunk was one of those comics that were huge when I was in elementary school, but I never got around to reading it (I was too busy being a huge Sailor Moon fan), but I remember the craze and all the girls sighing over Rukawa Kaede, and I would still watch whatever random anime episode showed up on TV. Now that I've read it I-I-I... I TOTALLY understand what the hype was all about, OMG, basketball is AMAZING.

Ahem. To the actual fic XD I remember seeing some sort of RuHana fic when I was in junior high, so I knew there were slash pairings for this fandom, but after reading the manga I was like... this is such a typical shounen manga, with all the affection between the characters being all about teammates and playing together and stuff, I didn't even see any potential pairings. But I decided to give fanfic a try because, let's face it, I wanted MOAR story XD This fic actually made me go "oohhhh I can really see the RuHana in this," because the characters felt true to themselves even though there was all this BL emotion going on, and it made me laugh out loud in places because Hanamichi is such an idiot sometimes (also, back gremlins? BEST KIND OF GREMLIN EVER), and made me go all gooey and "d'aawwwww" in others because Kaede having emotions is just so cute, and the whole thing was just... just... warm and fuzzy and mmmm snuggle :P I wish there were more RuHana fic like this.
