Thank you so much! This is actually a pairing that I'm surprised isn't written more often, because there's so much potential there. (And for some reason, a good deal of the Aoi/Ruki I have seen out there is angsty). I'm glad you thought that I did it justice! Aoi's tattoo (if, indeed, it really is that sunburst design) most definitely is a reflection of him - bright, proud and a little bit showy. XD Thanks again for reading and commenting!
