Getting a Hands-On Education [Xxxholic]
Characters/Pairings: Watanuki/Doumeki
Warnings: While there is no actual sex in this, it probably deserves an NC-17 rating for sex anyways
Summary: A missed sex-ed class. A detention. A tutor session.
Comments: I read it the first time, and didn’t particularly like it. I read it a second time and kind of liked it. I read it a third time and went “Holy fuck, this is good.” The characterization is perfectly nailed on the non-sex bits, though I still have many reservations about Doumeki’s characterization during the first part of the tutoring session. It’s well-done, though, and… I don’t quite know how to say this. I like the way that despite how porny this story really is, they didn’t have sex. Or even touch, really. It takes a much better author to convey that sort of intensity without the characters ever touching, and that is something that I always greatly enjoy.
Notes: I mistyped session as sexxion each time. Talk about Freudian typoes.
One-shot, complete.
