The first arguably canon pairing I ever encountered. And since it was in my favorite anime, I had to accept it.

First fanfic I reand was Ikki/Hyoga, first fnaart that stuck into my mind and made me re-save it year ago, because of the tension between the two, even though I hate one of them, is Shiryu/Seiya.

Oh I remember it well. 10 years ago I read Gundam Wing fanfiction every day, and every day I would see the 1x2x1 fanfics and think, "they're just friends!" Then one day I snapped and read one....

...and that, as they say, was that.

KuraHiei was my first OTP. I didn't know it existed until I was searching photobucket when I was a kid and discovered yaoi. I don't think it's all that great anymore, but I still wouldn't say no to a doujinshi with them in it.

Hyoga x Shun.
I was young and I thought "they look good together. Friendship is really something... wait a minute!"

And here i am.

Pairing approved.

My first yaoi pairing, however, was these guys.

I found fanfiction, and then an hour later I found yaoi.

Are you me?

In response to OP: many a moon ago, this specific scene made the gears of my then 10 years old innocent little mind come to a screeching halt. There went my innocence down the drain.

15 years later, they're still my ultimate OTP.

I believe we are all the same... I too was disturbed (in a good way) when I saw that scene... I was like
"Aww how beautiful Shun is rescuing her true love... wait! why doesn't she have a mask?" and then everything went downhil

still it wasn't until I saw Those two Go-players of hell Also Known as Akira Toya and Hikaru Shindo, that the blushing me was destroyed and introduced to the dark (and delicious) world, also known as Hard-core Yaoi U.U

there's something about teenagers looking for and chazing desperately their 'fated rivals' that just hypnotizes me

I was quite tolerant of slash for a long time, of course, but I didn't ever really ship any pairings (partly out of lack of interest in romance) but while I started to like slash pairings with KakaIru, this pairing right here was the first one to make me really fall in love with it, enough to BUY DOUJINS. Not just download -- BUY.

These two were my first. I picked up a Newtype USA once, flipped through it, saw the article on season two, saw a sentence about Wolfram wanting to marry Yuri, went "wat", and then proceeded to ravenously watch the show. They're not my OTP anymore, but I do still love them.

Toya and Yukito, way back when I was too little to understand why I absolutely loved it when they were in the same scene together.

(Also, Damn you Clamp rule!)

These two. At first I didn't care about anything romantic 'cause I was still kinda like a kid. When I read a fanfic of these two, I was first thinking, "Isn't this kinda like doing yourself? Or at least, doing the embodiment of your mental disorder?" But then I was like, " ... Interesting."

And then that's when it all began.

Sick for a first pairing.
But it was undeniably canon, at least from Karasu's point of view.
It was the first time I'd seen anything like it, and was the first time I thought, "This is hot, I wonder if there's more..?"

Not really a pairing, because Akio was quite the manwhore and slept with anybody on the series, but you get the idea.

Jesus..I remember being such a kurama fangirl that I cried HARD when Karasu was blowing his shit up during their fight.

But Kura/Hiei fanfiction drew me in. I maintain that the best fanfiction I ever read was written by a Brazillian woman named Sandy Youko...such memories....

Touya and Yukito.
I was 12-11-ish, and watched CCS every day on a kids' channel. They aired the uncensored Japanese version in my country, so it wasn't toned down like in the dub, and I think I caught on pretty quick.. and it was, and is, incredibly cute.

I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't pairing characters up left and right...
It was so long ago I can't recall and its driving me up the wall.
So this is my current favorite pairing despite only reading enough of the series to know what was going on and then stopping I adore this pairing to pieces.

It's such a long time ago that I don't even remember.
It makes me sad that I can't recall how it all started, since it now is such a huge part of my life.

I'm not gonna lie, it was these two. It happened when my friend mentioned that her cousin was obsessed with a manga she was reading, and had let my friend borrow it. So, curious, I borrowed the entire stack of them from my friend and got the surprise of my life when I figured out just what the manga was about. That was about 7 years ago and now I am so far gone in the land of yaoi and /cm/'s.

And I'm pretty sure this is the seed from which my love of cold, hard semes and hatred for whiny ukes has grown from.
