Hmmm, I don't want to get TL;DR here (BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME NOT TO, JUST A WARNING)... Mostly I don't get how fandom usually starts out with LUV~ or OMG THEY'RE SO INTO EACH OTHER~ and a lot of fandom's interpretations of Joshua irk me. (Not to mention the interpretations of Neku-as-blushing-wanting-it-uke-to-Joshua.) Joshua, in canon, is a manipulative bastard, but people tend to forget that while he was fucked up in his methods and thoughts and went about it in way the wrong way, and he did think Shibuya was too sick and messed up to be worth saving, he also was planning on destroying Shibuya from the start to keep what was so wrong with it from spreading to the rest of the UG. And even then, ALL of his manipulations once he started his own Game with Kitaniji were geared toward saving Shibuya... in his own twisted, fucked-up way.

I don't know why I started with a TL;DR about Joshua. ;; Mostly, I just see Joshua not wanting to leave alone someone who's as interesting as Neku is. Joshua has no idea how to have friends or relationships, and I wouldn't say that he's especially interested in having either, though I can easily see him approaching a sexual attraction with more ease while not having the slightest clue how to practically apply emotions to it. :| By the end of canon, though, he obviously does regret something, maybe just being seperated from Neku (who is probably the closest thing to a "friend" he has, besides Hanekoma, who I think would be on a different level than a simple friend/family/whatever bond) or from seeing what Neku has and how much he's changed because of it.

For the most part, when it comes to Joshua's part of the pairing, I see him being a lot more complex than people make him out to be -- or that people just tend to paint him in extremes. He's not a rapist with "oh woe deep down I like you~" qualities, and he's not really going to approach it with an attitude anywhere NEAR "you are precious to me" -- even if it were true, I don't think he'd ever be able to say it. ... I think when it comes down to it, I see Joshua as having emotions, just being even more severely emotionally retarded than Neku was at the beginning of the game.

For Neku's part... I don't wanna get into the kind of length with him as I did with Jesus Kiryuu :||||| but suffice to say that... I see him in fic as being either too much like he is at the very beginnings of the game, or being too much like a Stereotypical Doujinshi Uke. By the end of the game, he obviously has mixed feelings about Joshua. The whole "I don't forgive you yet, but I trust you" thing. He has a real desire to connect with Joshua as a friend, now, though I'm sure he also wants to get in a good yell-rant before letting go of the shit he did. :I So I doubt he'd go the "OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, GO AWAY YOU ONLY CAUSE TROUBLE" route while Joshua giggles and flirts and molests him, but I also don't see him pulling the omgwhatisthisfeeling~~~ thing either.

CONTINUED IN A SEC BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY FAIL AT NON-TL;DR, LIKE I SAID D:
