What? There's a new HaruDaki release? :o *doesn't keep up* Yesterday, for me it was, "oh... I'm going to make a site for someone so she can make me a Kai icon" *points to it*
Even though Ratri is the king of Cold and Stoic, he's not very good at hiding his feelings towards Kai, is he? XD It's also kind of hard to draw the line between what is and isn't romance for them. They don't actually have the chance to go on dates (unless if you count getting shot at and blown up on a daily basis romantic... I'm pretty sure it's not, unlike what action-romance movies make it out to be), so there's a lot of interpretations in there for both of them. Does Kai follow Ratri's orders because he loves him or because he feels he needs to out of duty? Does Ratri keep bedding Kai because he perceives him as safer and easier than other men or because he wants to be with Kai? etc. There's other things too. Even though Kai chose Ratri over Maria, that doesn't necessarily mean he loves him more than her; we merely know he feels better morally to be with Ratri because Maria is a killer. (Random but interesting point: When Coyote suggests to Kai that they have sex, Kai tells Coyo that he's "too much of a solider." So he doesn't perceive Ratri to be like that?) Also, keeping Kai around brings Viharn around, so is Ratri more interested in his sister or his sister's ex?
Also, yes Ratri, great way to convince Kai to go home. I have to admit though, I still squee every time I read that scene.
I think the thing with Nozomi happened the next morning and Ratri and Kai are simply early risers? Or maybe they had such fabulous reunited!sex that they stayed up all night doing it and then took a shower and changed right before Nozomi woke up and found Coyote gone?
Oh! Oh! I vote for the latter! Though I still think they have to have awesome putting on clothes skills. I mean, if they didn't, wouldn't it be kind of awkward if they had sex and then someone needed to report something to Ratri?
I don't get the impression that Ratri agrees to sleep in the same room with Kai after they have sex after that first time. We never see them like that, it is true, and it seemed that even through volume 2, Ratri had the habit of sending Kai away when he didn't have "use" of him.
Ever again, or at least for quite a while? I think beginning volume 2 is still a little too close in time to the end of v1ch2, and by the way Ratri treats Kai, I wouldn't be surprised if he hadn't forgiven him yet. However, By the end of v3ch2, when Ratri is sleeping in the chair next to Kai's hospital bed. I mean, clearly Kai has gone through hell and back basically because Ratri told him to and is clearly not a threat to Ratri, but it's still very symbolic. The only time Ratri ever seems to be very vulnerable (even when he's hurt) is when he's sleeping, so letting Kai see him like that again is kind of... I dunno? Like giving him forgive...ness. ooh, great job Kyuu.
Also, sorry for spamming this post. I mean, I'm glad we can have this awesome conversation (in two parts, apparently) about AHnY because I love talking about it so much and exchanging theories, but I think we might potentially be scaring away other people who want to request? XD
