that one bkdk fic broke me. suddenly, i want to watch from the sidelines at the track field for a certain pole vaulter with ruby eyes fly, and somehow end up becoming my psychology project partner. then sneak out of the house and spend the night driving around the town of ise in my project partner's car, with the sky painted in shades of purple and orange. sitting through the sunroof with the biggest smile, feeling nothing but freedom. listening to 80's songs on the car radio. going to diners, watching movies, jumping off cliffs, swimming in lakes with fireflies, breaking into abandoned houses, climbing spooky towers to watch meteor showers, and swimming at the beach until dawn. talking about random things while lying in the truck bed in the middle of a field of yellow flowers, stargazing. and then take my breath away starts playing. slow dancing in front of the house because my project partner skipped the spring dance at school just so he could dance with me instead. and then those pair of green eyes would become the most beautiful thing the pole vaulter had ever seen. this fic really changed me in the best way possible. i love the perspectives, the symbolism, the characterization, the realizations, the conflicts, everything. every single thing about this fic feels perfect and romantic. it felt like i was watching a movie. it felt like i was living in the town of ise. the nostalgic retro 80's atmosphere made the place feel so magical and beautiful. after finishing it, i've just been sitting here, lost in my thoughts, replaying every scene while "nothing's gonna change my love for you" by george benson plays on my phone. i'm genuinely about to cry because of how beautifully everything unfolded. it made me feel like i was there, living those moments and feeling every emotion with them. i love every bit of this fic.
