    Summary

    Kawase grimaces as he buttons up his shirt. He needs to take a shower, but evidently that would have to wait until he found a way to make Tamamori forgive him for loving him too much.

    Summary

    to forgive, divine.

    It’s a matter of perspective.

    At least that’s what he tells himself so he can sleep at night. His sleep isn’t sound, instead riddled with nightmares and roaming hands. Hot whiskey eyes and bony fingers make themselves at home in his mind and he can’t escape. There’s a bomb, ticking away, set to explode – or perhaps implode? – in less than a month and yet he can’t help himself from wanting to play with the wires.

    “Do you know of him? Nietzsche?”

    “You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist,” Akira says and it’s answer enough. The implications weigh just as heavy as the tension. Akira’s eyes glimmer with a look akin to Joker, confident, shrewd and powerful. I dare you, the words all but scream, twisting and churning in the air.

    Summary

    Akechi Goro is alive – one of his biggest regrets is alive and standing in front of him looking like he’s ready for some highbrow sports photo shoot when what he really needs is five years intensive therapy and at least five more steps away from Akira.

    No, no, no – the universe is not allowed to shove this on him so soon after it just flung him three fucking years into the past.

    (Sometimes the only way to save someone is to let them save you first.)
    (Huge canon divergence. Akira's past and future affect him big time.)

    For the moment they’re just two dead kids, trying to remember how to live.

    Summary

    “This guy declared me his rival, and I think he wants to battle to the death. He literally threw a glove at me,” Akira says, finding said glove and letting it flop down in the middle of the table.

    There’s silence.

    “That is an invigorating end to your philosophy class,” Yusuke comments, and Haru starts giggling, while Ann reaches for the glove.

    “That’s a weird way to ask someone out,” Futaba says, actually turning to face him which means it’s serious business.

    “I don’t think he’s doing that,” Akira says, sprawling out on her bed.

    “Well, he wants to take you out in one way or another,” she says, and he throws a plushie at her for the terrible pun.

    Summary

    “Could you possibly,” Akira grits out, trying just one more time to unlock the door to their apartment, “wait until we’re inside. For this.” His hand is uncoordinated and uncooperative and just doesn’t want to listen because, well… it’s actually Goro’s hand.

    Long story.

    “Is being turned on by this because of me or because of you?” Akira asks.

    “Both,” Goro says immediately. “Both of us.”

    Akira nods. “Bed.”
