    Summary

    Rudo knew Zanka —sorry, "pRoFeSsor Nijiku"— was married. Everyone did, it would be hard to miss the way the usually stoic Materials Science professor softened when he looked down and ran a thumb over his wedding band. And yet despite that, no one knew anything about his wife, not even her name.

    For a so-called "average" guy, Zanka seemed to have a lot of secrets. The most concerning of which pertained to a suspicious guy with a lot of piercings who kept lurking around the research lab after hours.

    or

    A modern au in which Zanka and Jabber are professionals in their respective scientific fields, and have a reputation for being bitter rivals who are constantly publishing research papers trying to disprove the others findings.

    They've also been secretly married for 6 years.

     

    Rudo —a graduate student and one of Zanka's lab assistants at the University— somehow gets caught in the middle of it all.

    Summary

    Staying up late has its downsides when you're a kid, and Jabber heard all of the reasons he shouldn't have a messed up sleep schedule. But if he slept early he wouldn't have ever met a boy that lived across the world in a completely different country and culture. Online friends also had their downsides, but if Jabber never played video games he would have never met Zanka Nijiku.

    Summary

    "I'm not a good person. I don't think I ever was, actually."

    It's not self-deprecating, the way it sounds. Had it come from Yuuta, she would give him a harsh smack on the back of his head and said something like, "So what? You're satisfied with that, and you won't even try to get better?"

    But Maki is satisfied with that. She's a bad person. Is that so wrong?

    Summary

    Zanka’s blind. Has been for years. Most of the Cleaners are oblivious to it, but everyone who needs to know is already aware (and Enjin Doesn’t Need To Know, RIYO—)

    So, yeah, baggage there. But with Assistaff’s help his blindness is basically paperwork (it is not) so there’s no reason to tell Enjin. (Or anyone else.) Besides, their fearless team leader is busy training the new kid! No reason to bother the guy with petty bullshit from years ago. He's got too many responsibilities as-is, and honestly, Enjin probably wouldn’t even care so there's no actual point in saying—

    Then Rudo finds out.

    Rudo, who can barely keep his emotions in check, let alone a fucking secret.

    This is going to end fucking terribly, isn’t it? (Jabber's getting involved—of course it will.)
