    Summary

    Megumi bunches the clothes up in his hands, presses his untainted wrists into the damp fabric. He wishes for it to stay, as he slowly pulls away to send everything into the washing machine to change their scents anew. His face is flushed and his hair askew. He runs a hand over his face to ground himself a little, shame running through him like ice cold water in replacement of his hot blood.

    Something about Yuji's scent drives him absolutely crazy.
    𖦹
    Blood, iron, has a savory taste if Yuji had to pick. Sweet and sour are far from it, though it carries the same excitement when it hits his tongue. Spice doesn't apply either, as it doesn't hurt his mouth in any way. It pleasantly coats the cavity of his mouth.

    And bitter would have the characteristic of an acquired taste. Megumi is not.

    OR

    Megumi has Hyperosmia. Yuji has Hypergeusia. Their attachment to each other takes a darker turn.

    Summary

    “Do you think I’m a bad person?”

    Satoru sighs. He combs fingers through silky black strands, where he’s already pulled it free from all knots. He takes awhile to answer, and then, he says:

    “Wanna know a secret? It’s kind of horrible.”

    Suguru seems confused, a little out of it. He whispers back “Sure.”

    Satoru looks at him meaningfully, and says,

    “I don’t care.”

    //

    Or: It took some time, for Satoru to get over himself enough to see his best friend spiralling. Shoko cracks open the windows to Suguru's stuffy room and makes them lunch and thinks maybe late is better than never.

    Summary

    Brooklynn was not thinking of Soyona.

    She did not think of her hands or her mouth or her eyes or the feel of her breathy laugh against her skin. Brooklynn was not thinking of her.

    Brooklynn could not be thinking of her, not here, not now, not when she was so close to unravelling her. Brooklynn would not think of her, not in any terms that did not aid her goal.

    The problem, perhaps, was Soyona's lipstick on Brooklynn's lips, applied with meticulous care by none other than Soyona herself before they made their entrance to this banquet. The problem was, perhaps, Soyona's clothes on Brooklynn, the sigh of cloth against her skin. The problem was, perhaps, the knowledge of Brooklynn's perfume on Soyona's skin.
