Summary
It’s not exactly healthy, but it’s not not either. After all, you help him when he stares at the painkillers just a little too long, and when your hands are cold and your throat hurts and your bones are shaking from something, he holds you until you’re warm and calm once more.
For the longest time, it’s all you have.
It only takes one night for it all to come crashing down.
or
Allison, and love, and the process of moving on.

Summary
“You were wrong,” he eventually manages, still staring at the grave. Kevin isn’t quite sure how long he’s been standing there.
“You were wrong,” he says again. “I was always better than you. You were number two, and I was one, and I was always better than you.”
It’s maybe the most truthful thing he’s ever said to Riko.
or
Kevin, wondering exactly where things went wrong over the grave of Riko Moriyama.

Summary
He’s fourteen when he first goes into the battlefield. He wonders if his brother would be proud of him, because he can smash bricks like they’re chalk and stop vehicles with his torso.
(He wonders if his parents would be, too, then he wishes they were six fucking feet under.
Not very apt for an alleged warrior of justice.)

Summary
It can’t end like this. Atsushi has mere minutes left, maybe less, and he can’t die listening to Akutagwa’s scolding and insults. Comfort has never come easily to Akutagwa, but he has to try. Atsushi deserves that much, at least.
But Akutagawa can’t think of what to say. He can’t tell Atsushi that it’s fine, that he’ll be okay, or any of those trite, hollow reassurances. It’s not okay, and perhaps it never will be again — not without Atsushi.
In his last moments, bloody and painful though they are, Atsushi deserves better than lies. So Akutagawa instead settles on the deepest truth he knows. Perhaps, here and now, the only truth.
“You can’t die, you useless overgrown cat,” Akutagawa snarls, half-choking on a sob. “I love you, so you can’t die. Not when I love you.”
Thinking Atsushi is dying in his arms, Akutagawa confesses his love, knowing he’ll never have another chance.
But of course Atsushi, always the thorn in Akutagawa’s side, does something wholly unexpected.
He survives.

Summary
His hands are cold. It’s befitting of Isagi, Munich’s neo-egoist soccer machine, to be cold to touch. Even through the fabric, it startles Rin to the point where his shoulder feels like it's burning under his clothes. There’s a moment then, where Isagi has time to let go and shove a flight-provided earbud into Rin’s left ear.
Isagi has the other earbud in, but it seems he had reopened his laptop the millisecond Rin let go. It’s between two options for Rin: watch Isagi work himself to death or accept that he’s been dismissed.
Eventually, he falls asleep. When he wakes up again thirty minutes later, Bachira and Isagi have switched seats and Bachira’s hand is in his. Isagi is still glued to his laptop. Bachira’s palm is warm and he is asleep. Rin doesn’t think anything about it at all.
After nine months of not-dating but not-not-dating, Rin and Bachira plan a trip across their hometowns for Bachira’s twentieth birthday and his mom’s upcoming exhibition. After two months of no contact with either of them, Isagi is invited.

Summary
“‘Samu, ya look weird,” Atsumu says, eyebrows raised. “Wait, were ya guys makin’ ou—”
Before Atsumu can finish his sentence, Osamu lunges at him, one fist raised and the other bunched up in Atsumu’s shirt.
The glint in his eyes is murderous, nothing like the open and curious look from earlier.
Atsumu throws his arms in the air, eyes wide and all traces of mockery gone. “Wait, wait, wait, ‘Samu, I haven’t said anything!”
Quite satisfyingly so, Osamu’s fist connects with the side of Atsumu’s face.
Five times Osamu almost kisses Rintarou and is interrupted by his nuisance of a brother Atsumu; that one time Rintarou wishes Osamu would kiss him; and the one time Rintarou kisses Osamu. (+Birthday bonus)
