Summary
It's nothing more, nothing less, two ships passing in the night across the churning open water. Lights flickering by, sails shuddering against chilly opposing winds, awaiting the rise of the next sun over a calming current.
In which, Higuruma and Nanami always pass by each other when picking up lunch from the same bakery.

(The sincerity and earnestness in those eyes—she could never forget. "You know what I do when I worry about that?"
She doesn't dare break eye contact. She was enchanted by him, pulled into his orbit. "What?""I think about how much easier it is when I'm with you," he says tentatively.
Her breath hitches noticeably. "Really?""Yeah," he said, letting go of her hand to scratch at the back of his neck.
The corners of her lips lift as she reaches for his hand again. "Thank you," she said. "I feel the same."His eyes widened. "Really?")

Summary
I'm adding this to that series about wearing masks, because it fits. This was written in school though.
Basically, there are more to metaphorical masks then you may have considered.
This is usually where I add my warnings, but I have no idea if any fit.

Summary
Sausage, miso, mackerel, and bread: it wasn't breakfast until he kissed her, then he was supple within her hands. It wasn't breakfast until she wore him and found him somewhere on her lips.The first commandment was an answer that neither had to miss. The second was recognition; he kissed her but not her lips. Three of them were a choir dancing without a fight, if the definition made it clear that biting was a must. Then the fourth, and the fifth, his eyes, her breath, and her rise, her fervor, his earnest devotion. If he asked her, You must be hungry? and she prodded, So are you, she'd ask him, Why are you waiting? and he would saunter, Because it's you.
And I – he didn't ask her if it was terrible for him to want, well-aware that she would thrust him with a finger inside his mouth – love you.
He was a record that a monster would never bust, pillowed where a mask could slice him where it hurts, and moments from an answer when he asked her for a bite. Because what was worship without desire, without the world for a feast? What was worship when the lorde whispered that she could eat?

Summary
Elliot doesn't think anything will ever compare to the way his Sunshine makes him feel.
A very short piece about Elliot falling in love, written through a few too many metaphors that I really hope make sense.

Phoenix does not know what to do with his mouth. Not since he crunched up the glass bottle, felt the shards splinter and crackle between his teeth. Lying in the hospital bed, he thrashed wildly for escape. Anything to get away from his mouth.
Miles does not know what to do with his mouth. Not since he woke up with his face pressed in his own vomit. Too weak to roll over or lift his face clear, he sobbed pitifully, desperate to escape. Desperate to get away from his mouth.

Summary
or, Dazai wants. It takes a long way to figure out where to go from there.To admit that it began would mean that he was once a yes and now he was ruined, and there was, perhaps, a time when he wouldn’t be. And how inconceivable, to entertain the possibility of being without ache looming over his days, how naive, how childish, to hope, to want for things when he knew perfectly that they would never come.
Dazai knows history. It goes like this: gone with a bang, out like a light. There are many names in history, but none of them are theirs.
