...more popularly known, in these circles, as the 'Tree Scene' episode

---------------------------------------------------------

Yukito looks highly disturbed, for once. I'm thrilled. It's the pleasure of novelty. And IT'S ABOUT DAMNED TIME he starts realising!

Falling asleep against a tree, with dappled sunlight playing across his hair, things going downhill...*deep sigh*

Touya approaches tentatively, worry etched across his face.

Touya practically pins Yukito to the tree... erm... not really, but it's clear he wants Yuki to stay put. Still, great position to start stroking Yuki's cheeks.

An interesting camera angle. Emphasises the isolation of the 2 boys through relative distances and juxtaposition with a laughing girl who later retrieves the ball. Effect? Separates them from the world while bringing them closer. I suppose I shouldn't start commenting on dominant/submissive body language.

Proximity alarms start going off. There's really only an arm's length worth between them, and Touya is leaning in the whole time. Yuki's being puzzled, but still, faintly worried.

Ah...the ever-suspicious dialogue and the burning gaze. A little on the freaky side (think Fuuma), but let's not spoil a good scene. Besides, 'tis CCS so Yuki's quite safe.

Yukito's interesting response: his eyes actually get that anime shimmer/wobble effect, a sign of great emotion. I wonder. Still looking adorably vulnerable.

Touya's going all intense and desperate. As you may notice, the close-ups are out in full force. And it's getting distinctly harder to breathe.

The Seijou High love triangle. Or rather, Akizuki making herself unwanted with Touya while Yukito stares blankly.
