OK! We'll take whatever we said back if you really can't stand it. (Geez...)
That's why I never want to talk about shipping concerning them. Or at least about Hokuto, being a womanizer and all. A guy who's out to impress girls, be the prince on the white horse, etc.
........Yeah. The very summary of his character kinda sickens me (It may also be due to the fact that there are people in real life who are womanizers who intend to not commit into a relationship, and seeing these stories makes me irritated).
Sorry. I ranted.
Alright, here's a new topic: What if Kuroi was only getting them to act that way in public- cold, antisocial badboys and distancing themselves to look cool- and turns out they're much nicer than you think (Remove Touma's Jerkass, Hokuto's princely demeanor, and treat Shouta as a genderbent Iori with green hair, oh wait). What'll be your reaction?
