It was phoenix and edgeworth. I could not resist. I don't have it on this computer but I think the final blow was that doujin page of them kissing (I think it's called 'quiet words') and edgeworth saying "I thought I told you not to move" Repost of a repost repost but so close to my heart now.

It wasn't the picture itself: I just fell utterly in love with Nuriko, so much that I accepted everything about him without questioning. I told his story to everyone who was willing to listen, and my 13-year-old self never considered the possibility that my parents might be against my reading about a man who was in love with another man.
It took quite a while and several good fics to switch my mindset from "it's not gay because his sister is involved" to "it's gay and that's awesome".

Hm, I don't have a picture per se. But I did fall in love with a pairing. It had to be Kaiba/Jounouchi, and I was what? 11? 10?

When my old 12 year old self first discovered the wonders of fanfic I clicked on a 'yaoi' fic not knowing what it was and I've been hooked ever since. All these years later I barely look at HP anymore and can say I don't really like this pairing that much anymore but still remember my first favourite Yaoi fic. The infamous 'Veela' fic from Frizzy on ff.net. I guess I still apreciate this pairing simply for the fact that they took my 'yaoi virginity' hence the few cute pics of them I have.

FF7 was my first fandom, and Sephiroth was my first crush (and how I figured out I was gay), so Zax/Sephiroth was sort of the natural progression.

Galcian/Ramirez from Skies of Arcadia. Ramirez just seemed a little...too devoted. I was around 12 when Legends came out.

I kept telling all my other friends (who were all boys) that it was obvious Ramirez loved Galcian THAT way. That's how I learned one of my friends was a hard shipper of Matt/Tai.

I had just discovered anime, but was more interested in games, particularly Final Fantasy VII-VIII and Tactics. I found a Squall/Seifer smutfic on the internet and it appalled me, I hate that pairing even now, but I was really surprised by the quality of the writing. So I looked for more of this 'yaoi' stuff and was amazed at the kind of really decent writing I found. Sephiroth/Cloud was the first pairing I got into after the fumble in the dark with the Squall/Seifer abomination. Then I found Technomancy, anyone remember them? And their fic writing was what hooked me eternally.

It didn't make me fall in love with the gay but damn it got me thinking about it...and probably aided in making me love incest as much as I do.

Technically, it would be Hiei/Kurama, but I didn't really like it untill recently since a poster at an anime forum I used to go to forced me to consider it.

The real pairing that I actually enjoyed and wanted to become was Satoshi/Daisuke. I remember I used to go all through FF.net trying to find good fanfics for it.

I also remember how I lent one of the volumes to a friend, and after reading it she asked me if Satoshi was gay. I had a gigantic grin on my face.

Light x L was my first and will always be my favorite boy on boy OTP. When I first came to /cm/ I thought boy love was kinda gross and would only save pics that involved obvious platonic relationships, but once I got into Death Note where there was quite a bit of borderline friend/romantic pics like this one, it sort of pushed me over. I started saving more and more risque pictures involving the two until I finally had to admit I liked the idea of tthem together. I've enjoyed boy love ever since.

I was introduced to the idea of yaoi in highschool, but didn't really have a pairing of any sort until I got into Naruto. (Which was... 4 years ago. Odd that I should feel so old in this discussion.)

The people in highschool who introduced me to it were kinda... really weird. So, I also didn't get into anime or cosplay until college for the same reason.

But I digress... It was Lee/Gaara.

Phoenix/Edgeworth.

I never liked yaoi/shounen ai much. Even through the high school years it really didnt appeal to me. I was okay with other people being into it, it never bothered me (even though I had a college roomate that nearly drove me to drink with her incessant blathering over it). I just didnt ever see any pairing that really grabbed my attention and held it.
But then I started lurking around here. And saw a BGL thread, before ever playing the damn games (I have since then and it only made me like the two of them more). And now I cannot resist a well drawn picture of the two of them together.

They're just so...pleasant together. There's something very serene and gentle about how people frequently depict them together... Even when what they're doing in the picture is far from gentle or serene...heheh.
