I love these boys and the way they're falling in love with each other. *_* This is just too beautiful for words to express.

Oooh I LOVE this fic so so much ^__^ It gives me shivers to read about Bill and Tom like this, it's magical! I whole new world and I love it. I love how Bill is new to all these feelings and touches and Tom is just, aw the perfect gentlemen. I'm so excited for more :D

;_____; so cute and so sweet and heartbreaking. Even though it's moving quickly it's so real and perfect. I love this story so much. I get so excited when you update.

All right, they're in public, and they've got all their clothes on, and Tom is just helping Bill take off his coat and still it's so sexy, it's breathtaking. I love that Bill thinks about what it would feel like if he didn't have a shirt on... and I want to know what Tom is thinking about!

I love their banter! And that Tom is better at Scrabble than Georg. *smirks* I wonder what Georg and Gustav think about Tom and Bill... especially when they're flirting and so obviously smitten by each other! Hee. When Tom keeps calling Bill 'ma chère,' I'm not surprised that Bill's stomach is fluttering madly!

Omg the flirting. *dies* I wouldn't have expected Bill to talk about the Cajun he's had, especially before he drinks that beer. I love this Bill -- he feels a bit shy on the one hand, but ready to be bold on the other, and it's fun to watch. He makes me proud. :)

The flirting is so lovely and intense and then it become even more intense between them! Wow, um. *fans self* It's such a charged, hot moment! I love that Tom looks at Bill so heatedly and that Bill suspects they feel the same. (Of course they do! They probably do that all the time! Or do they? I'd love to know how Tom feels about Bill. He's so self-assured and flirts with Bill so confidently, implying that he knows he wants to be with Bill and he doesn't think or doesn't worry that Bill would turn him down. I wonder if he's feeling all fluttery inside, too. Hmm...) I love that Bill feels downright wild right then: "anything. Anything that would bring them into contact." And then his courage dissolves and he looks down, relieved that nothing happened. Aww, Bill! I love that there are so many emotions here. The moment is so sexy and I wish something had happened, but it's almost more intense because nothing did; Bill's brave words and confidence; his sudden lack of both. (And still Tom is there, taking care of him. ♥)

Hee, in the midst of all that tension I'd almost forgotten that Tom has got a power, too! I didn't know it was to blow things up. Cool. *g* I love that Bill is awed and suddenly realises, when looking at Tom, that Tom is worried just like Bill has been that Bill thinks he's a freak. When Bill would never think that! Aww, I love that Bill reassures Tom with his smile. ♥ That makes me so happy!

Omg, Bill touching Tom's hand. *___* No wonder Georg decides that it's time for him to leave! Hee. I wonder if he's amused by the twins' antics. Maybe he even finds them a bit ridiculous. Anyway, I love that Bill reacts to touching Tom's hand so passionately that he needs to calm himself -- and yet he can't stop. (I'm dying to know how Tom feels about this!)

"Wit' you makin' those eyes at me" -- ohhh I see. *g* I love that they're so obvious about it. ♥ But omg Bill licking his lips dazedly. (That word is so important in that sentence, and I don't even know why. Just -- so sexy.) How does Tom keep his cool when facing something like that?

Aww, nervous Bill blurting out things about his nails! I love him. ♥

Tom telling Bill to touch because he knows Bill wants to, and he wants Bill to do it. ;________; This whole scene is fraught with emotions that are startlingly deep. I love how careful they are. I love how Tom understands that this is a big deal for Bill -- the biggest.

"Tom's low groan thrilled him. 'Chère,' Tom murmured. His voice had turned husky." Omg, this is so hot. TOM is so hot. I almost can't bear to read about them like this, there's so much tension and yet I know they won't do anything and it's so intense! And then I feel calmed and comforted by Tom's love and warmth. "I've never been more serious abou' anythin' in my life." ;____; I love how forthright he's about it. And it's so lovely and right that he feels that way about Bill. ♥

Oh, those last three paragraphs are perfect! I love that Tom tells Bill he doesn't have to beg because Tom is with him now. Bill crying, poor thing, and yet it's all right and necessary and not a bad thing. And this: "Instead of stealing Tom into himself, it was as though Bill became more wrapped up in Tom with every touch." Twins! That's a beautiful description. It's staggering how much it means for Bill that he can touch Tom like this.

There's so much love in Tom holding Bill and stroking his hair -- catching Bill like that when he needs it and just holding on. *sniff* And that last paragraph about them sleeping is filled with symbolism. Not exactly like a marriage but still like a ritual or a gesture that means so much.

What an amazing chapter! I feel blown away. Wow.

Poor Bill, trying not to reach for Tom because he can't get used to touching people! :( But the card makes me feel a bit better. I love that Bill thinks it's possible Tom wants to marry him. :D Tom certainly gives that kind of vibes! Like he wants to keep Bill by his side FOREVER. ♥

I love how many twin references there are here: yin and yang, two boys, Gemini, Bill's fingers wanting to be paired up with Tom's... :) Tom saying the card is a down payment for Bill's heart is delightful. I love Tom's advances -- they're so intense that each one surprises me. And Bill, which is lovely and adorable! His stammering. ♥

I love that Bill thinks Tom's proximity gives him a high because that's precisely what it feels like to read this: Tom's mere proximity causes so much delicious tension between them! Mmmm.

Omg, Tom holding Bill is so warm and tender and loving and sexy! *___* I love that Bill is so feeble. And still he protests, as he should! I love both that Tom affects him so that it's difficult for him to be contrary, and yet he tries. I love his spirit.

Tom has clothes that are made for Bill! *sniff* So wonderful. I wonder how he got those -- did they just somehow feel like something he should take with him or something? I love that he takes care of Bill! He notices when something is wrong and asks about it and coaxes Bill to lean on him and wants Bill to eat properly. ♥

I can't wait to find out what it is exactly that Tom and the G's do! And I think Bill's uneasiness with bare skin is also a plot point in need of resolving. *g* Why is Ellie surprised or puzzled that Bill is staying in Tom's room? I'm so curious!

Bill wearing Tom's coat = LOVE. Especially because it smells like Tom! Aww. I love that Tom was uncertain when Bill was leaving and asked him to come back. Bill is a bit prickly, I'm not surprised that Tom wasn't sure whether he'd come back, but I hope he saw that Bill was surprised by his question. I like that Bill is so sure they're meant to spend time together!

Work and an apartment might be a bit difficult to find but Bill HAPPENS to have already found a roommate who he can touch. :) I love that he tells himself Tom doesn't want him to move right in. He's forgotten that Tom might want to marry him, to boot!

I kind of wish Bill had bought something for Tom, but then, putting on make-up is something for Tom in a way -- I'm sure Tom loves it! Bill's shopping trip is lovely. It's so short and mundane and yet there are so many emotions. I got a fright too when he thought that the trashcans are menacing, and it's so poignant when he sees his mother's favourite eyeliner and wonders what she would have thought of Tom. ;_;

Tom was waiting for Bill by the door. ♥ And they share such a sensual moment. *___* Bill's trembling with pleasure. Omg. And Tom's voice makes him shiver. I love it. Do they go in and have sex* now? Please?

*Or whatever trembling, breathy equivalent they can think of!

how beautiful and romantic...

God this made me cry. :') Wonderfully done.

I'm dazzled, here.
I was totally able to feel Bill's anguish at feeling so lonely and not being able to touch. You projected it pretty well from the start. But this last scene, kissing Tom and feeling a real need to feel a little more human, just over do it. I loved it.
Now they are kind of settled, I feel some troubles are on their way. Plot thickens, ha? I'm glad they together to face them, though!
Thanks for the update.
See ya.

Oh, they're just so adorable! For a bit, I thought Tom maybe knew they were twins, what with the Gemini playing card. But now that there's been kissing, I guess he doesn't?

Either way though, this chapter was great. I love the tension and the electricity you built up with just the simple touch of hands. Just perfect.

This is super cute, I love it. Gambit was my brothers favorite on the show, and Rogue was mine. keep up the great work!
