Summary
He fell in love one summer before he knew what love was. In love with words cracked back and forth, shaped with challenge and smirk. With gesture, of games and caffeine, all bundled up in one as he made his way through backstreets of the city, heart light with potential and grey eyes.
Akira laughs against his chest. His heart rings.
“Who are you falling in love with?” he asks, a smile in his voice, as if he doesn’t know, simply wants the words loud and in the air.
Written for ShuAke Week 2020. Prompt: seasons

Summary
"How dull," Khaslana exclaimed. His voice was venomous, like a snake trapping its prey and toying with it before going for the kill. The flames surrounding them raged fiercer. "If you had the guts to defile my beloved's resting place, then you must be smart enough to know how this will end for you. Choose. Do you want to be burned alive or decapitated?" The trembling man didn't say anything. Khaslana squinted his eyes when he caught the other's eyes drifting to the marks on the back of his hand. "Don't even think of using a command spell. It is much faster for my fire to burn you to ashes than for your words to reach me."
"A-are you abandoning your wish to claim the Grail?"
"I'd rather do that than be ordered around by a pathetic cur. Now, choose."
The illusion of two choices was laughable. Choosing either meant an inevitable death sentence.

Summary
"Those four stars there make up the Southern Cross. Do you see it?"
To Goro's surprise, he does see it- tiny pinpricks of light resolve themselves into the endpoints of a cross shape. "Yes, but isn't it a little absurd to apply human imagination to something so far away and then call it a connection? It's not so much discovering a meaning as just arbitrarily imposing one that you want to see."
"Sure, if you look at it that way. But I think it's human nature to try to reach out to what we don't understand." Ren smiles softly, his eyes impossibly warm and dark, and something in Goro's chest twists itself into a knot. "The stars- their light is reaching us and that has to count for something, right?"

Summary
Goro Akechi is the most interesting person Akira has met in Tokyo.
Maybe not the most fun, or the weirdest, or the loudest—those honors would have to go to his Thieves. But the most interesting? The biggest liar? Goro Akechi fits that to a tee. Goro Akechi is hiding something, and Akira doesn’t know what, but he needs to find out.
