Summary: While there are hundreds of deaf alley cats who know more about music than Shishido, it doesn't mean that he can't appreciate something that sounds good when he hears it.
Why: One of the best things about this story, in my opinion, is the music. I love the idea of Ohtori teaching Shishido how to play the piano (and Shishido being good at it) to pieces because of the way that it gives them a connection other than tennis to build on. Which is not to say that tennis isn't perfectly sufficient, but this was the first time I saw music used in any capacity other than something that only Ohtori does, and it's now one of the first things that I think of when this fic crosses my mind.
Another aspect that really caught my attention in this story is the bumpy path that love takes and the ways that Shishido and Ohtori (particularly Ohtori) change. It seemed like there was a fair amount of conflict that for once wasn't caused by Shishido's cluelessness, which is a difference that I enjoyed.
In sum, I really liked this story as a bit of a longer and different look at how the relationship between Ohtori and Shishido could have come about.
