This is all kinds of awesome, oh my god! I loved that you used Inui to get them together in the first place, I loved the Wuthering Heights bits, I loved Tezuka writing on Ryoma's arm (Gods...♥), but most of all I loved THIS:
"Buchou," he said. He always lingered on the title, as if to leave space around it for the unspoken remainder of a sentence Tezuka could never fully understand.
and THIS:
the way he said "buchou" as if it were a mark of familiarity, like Tezuka's first name, instead of a title.
That's so perfect! I've been smiling ever since I read this fic, thank you! ♥
