Yeah, I lengthened out the count a bit. My obsessive over-thinking of details, let me show it to you. ^_^; Average adult resting heartbeat is given at about 60 beats/minute. Super-fit athletic types can go as low as 40. I figure, shinobi have to be fairly athletic, right, so let's put Yamato at about 50 (leave the 40 for taijutsu machines like Gai and Lee). Which means that counting 1000 of Yamato's heartbeats equals out to about 20 minutes. Which still seems like a short span in the grand scheme of things, but subjectively, ime, twenty minutes can feel like a very long time when you're trying to go to sleep and the brain just won't shut off. Especially, I'd imagine, if the thoughts are as super-fretful as these.
Not that anyone was going to actually time it out, or anything. I just felt like I ought to try to make it realistic, regardless. ^_^
'how i love thee, let me kill you in so many ways'
Hee. ^_^ Poor Sai. I should finish one of the porn fics next, to make it up to him.
even though it isn't from his point of view, you've still managed to convey how much Yamato loves Sai
^_^ I'm so very glad that comes through. And so glad that you like it. And that it inspired such beautiful art in you. ^_^ I know I'm being redundant, but. Thank you, again.
