 Ooh, breaking the fourth wall.  Reminds me of that scene where they're
 reading each other's dossiers.  But a canary-eating grin???  I know where
 the term comes from but it sounds disgusting.

::shrug::  Any other suggestions as to what to call it?  "Shit-eating grin"
is even less appropriate and more disgusting.  Picture the time when 
Shun and Shinobu save Igarashi and Mitsuru by having all Ryokuto 
show up at the fight with that rival gang (not to mention Nagisa & Co.,
who manages to *really* scare the crap out of the other gang)  That 
look on Shun's face is what I'm trying to describe here.

 No maybes.  Need more Greenwood 'fics.

Okay, okay... I'm working on it.  I was hoping for some feedback
like this... glad to hear it's got it's supporters.
  

 The Shun you show here seems tougher and just a tad
 nastier than the one I'm familiar with in the anime, but I'd
 be interested in seeing what happens.

Again, refer to that fifth episode, or even the second, when he
pulls Suka along to take the offensive on Nagisa.  He's tough
under certain circumstances.

As far as nastier, keep in mind that he, above all, was in on the
whole joke that the Greenwooders pulled on Hasukawa.  He's
also a bit on the lazy side (check episode 3, with the movie 
that he's not participating in) - he only does the work he has to.
The effort involved in this story may prove a stretch for him.
  

 And may I say what a great teaser you have?

::smiles::  Well, I can empathize with Shun, you know...  ^_^
  

 Venkarel
 (who feels sorry for poor Suka-chan)

::nods::  And you though Suka-chan had it rough in the real anime?
It may just get worse from here...

Itsu mo,
Ucchan  ^_^
