There are so many things about this story that I love. I have such a thing for bonding stories (undoubtedly the result of reading way, way too many of a certain type of romance novel...) and one of the things I like best about this story is that the bonding is just the start to a relationship, i love the way you show Xavi and Andres learning the bond between them and how to deal with the reality of it, that just having the bond isn't enough by itself they have to figure out just what it means - how to relate to each other with it. There are so many lines I could quote, that I just love. I love Andres' exchange with Pep and so many others. This bit - "You don't have to ask. You don't ever have to ask, you understand?" Even in the dark, Andres could feel Xavi's eyes fixed on him, but he shrugged them off and lay down so that his face was tucked against Xavi's shoulder. Xavi immediately wrapped an arm around him, pulling him even closer. "I will give you anything you need, Andresito," Xavi said, soft and serious, like a promise. "Anything you want. Everything. You never have to ask." - just kills me every single time I read it, every single time. Just amazing.
