Oh, this is wonderful!! Pi's lack of understanding why Shige refuses to accept his love is just lovely, it's done in that calm and understated way that is just so perfectly Yamapi. And Shige's self-consciousness and attempts at self-denial are absolutely Shige. You have an amazing grasp of characterization, Gem, seriously. Your boys are marvelous. I also really like what you did with the point-of-view changes, Shige to Yamapi to observer and cycling around. It's great to get that sort of concurrent view from all sides, and with such clean shifts between them!
I've been in the mood for some good ShigePi for the last month or so. Eeeee, thank you!
