One Shots

Watching and Waiting (1,059 words)

At some point in his musings, he’d started watching the steady rise and fall of the blankets instead. The soothing rhythm of Suo breathing, the only undeniable proof that he was still alive. Haruka hated that he knew he wouldn’t sleep well, or at all, that night. He hated, but not really, that he was scared if he slept that he’d wake up to find Suo gone. He almost desperately wanted to be able to see Suo’s eye and hear him laugh.

At the same time Haruka didn’t want it. Suo needed to sleep, to heal. Suo could be annoying and stupid when he was better.

Persimmon Premonitions (1,118 words)

“Did you know,” Suo breaks the silence, his silence, suddenly and startles Haruka. “That persimmons are believed to offer protection from tigers?”

“You makin’ crap up again?” Haruka asks flatly.

Mouths Can’t Be Pretty (1,754 words)

Kiryu’s smile is very pleased. “Sakura-chan, what do you think?”

Haruka thinks that the press of Suo against him is warm, is nice. Haruka decides, face flushing lightly, that he’ll play along.

What Your Made For (1,397 words)

Suo wasn’t a person made for sadness, in Haruka’s opinion. It wasn’t natural to see Suo without a smile. Haruka just wanted to find a way to ease whatever melancholy was clinging to Suo.

Make the Pain Alright (12,830 words) chapters 10/10

Haruka never would have guessed a half-regretted agreement with Nirei would have him opening a door that he’d thought shut years ago. Or that something as simple as a postcard could have been the key.

Of course, things can’t be easy. They never were before and it seems that the one consistency with Suo Hayato is he’s a bastard that does what ever he wants.

The phone had crackled with the unsteady connection and Nirei’s breathing. He was talking so fast that every time he was forced to stop for breath it came loud and staticky through Haruka’s speaker. He wished he had paid closer attention to what Nirei had told him now.

He had come down to the beach to do some collecting and maybe a little fishing in the tide pools. He would go to check, even if he walked away empty handed. Today the tide pools looked like something closer to a murder scene.

Forget-Me-Not (10,645 words) chapters 8/?

There’s a new person in town and all the whispered gossip around town speaks of them like a prodigal son returned. Fond eyes above murmuring mouths that say things like took over the old lady Matsumoto’s flower shop or wonder if that group of Furin boys knows. It makes Mitsuki’s skin stretch across his shoulders and knuckles in ways that itch, that hurt. A roll of his shoulders, the hum of a catchy tune on his lips, and the day goes on. It’s time to open the parlor.

Three hours in, one and a half pieces down, and his phone vibrates on the counter. Mitsuki ignores it, even though it proceeds to go off several more times. When he gets to his phone forty five minutes later, there’s a plethora of notifications. There always is, if he’s honest. It’s a pair of messages from a certain nosy bottle blonde that catches and holds his attention - that hits the damn holding back all the thoughts, questions, and memories he’s been holding off on since he first overheard the news.

Nirei Akihiko - 4:16 p.m.

He’s back.

Winds of Change (7,012 words) chapters 3/?

The first time that Haruka hears about the Bofurin people, it’s while working on some old as dirt and entirely cool antique car’s engine. The car was owned by the old man that Tsubaki knew and had asked him to look over. Nirei had tagged along because he was always interested in old shit and knew that a working Haruka was a perfect captive audience. Neither of them had realized that the whole thing had been a test.
