Summary
“Um…” Mika scratches his cheek. This is sounding like one of those deep artistic things he’s supposed to understand, but doesn’t have the slightest idea about. “Are ya sayin’… ya wanna paint me nude?”
“Non!” Shu throws up his hands. “That is not what I’m saying! Ahh, good lord.” He heaves another sigh, red to the tips of his ears.
(Shu goes on a journey of self-discovery and decides he might be ready to take his relationship with Mika to the next level. Mika, who wasn't around to see this journey, just assumes he's been replaced with a pod person.)

Niki sighed, “You have it so good. You don’t need to worry about lives, fans, other people. All you do is eat and sleep. You must have a nice life, huh?”
Niki stroked the cat's fur, silky and smooth between his fingers. “Nahaha~ I’m kind of envious of you, little guy.”Bookmarked by acanthuses

Summary
“Shu-chan.” Narukami touches his shoulder, and Shu just barely resists the urge to smack her hand off, “You and Mika-chan just kissed.”
Shu almost laughs at the notion, because why would he do such a thing in front of his friends? If he even allowed himself to kiss Kagehira, it certainly wouldn’t be in front of such a nosy group...
...Right?

Summary
Decades after decades, centuries after centuries, Mika’s life has always been one of loss. Loss of place. Of friends, until his sensitive heart hardened to a stone in his chest and refused to heed anyone’s voice.
It was an endless life of weariness, until he stumbled upon an incredible artist in Victorian England, who breathed the joy of life back into him.
Their life together was all too short, unfortunately.But ultimately, it came with a purpose, that of finding this person through all their subsequent reincarnations.
The world is vast. Filled with countless people.
That isn't enough to discourage Mika from trying to find his beloved, again and again, no matter what they may look like in their new life, or what life circumstances they may have been blessed or cursed with.

Summary
There's something about France that brings him back to life, no matter how exhausted he is. The fact that he isn't up at ungodly hours, devouring a meager breakfast before an early rehearsal, definitely helps. So do the dazzling landscapes and blue, blue skies, and the lively atmosphere.
But none of it would be beautiful without Shu's warm smile.
OR, Mika's first morning in Paris after four long months away.

Summary
“C’mon, Oshi-san! I still hafta show ya’ one last thing!” Mika is radiant as he smiles at him, but he could still see the dark shadows under his eyes and the roughness of his hands, which had some cuts in them from all the jobs he had to partake in. Why was Mika working so hard to keep someone like him around? He couldn’t ask, but he took his hand in his, allowing Mika to pull him up.
For this one time, Shu will follow him to the end of the world if Mika asks him. It is the least he can do for him after everything Mika has done to keep him alive.

Summary
Feelings for Shu, romantic, especially, had been off limits before. Mika knew it was a lost cause, something he needed to keep close to himself lest he get hurt. Shu’s kiss unlocked the cage that bound them, and with it a great confusion that Mika himself could not begin to parse. He had wanted something like this to happen so badly that now he didn’t even know how to react. It was all too surreal, and part of him couldn’t even believe it happened in the first place.
Yet it had. Shu had kissed him. He repeated this to himself in his mind, trying to calm down to the fact that yes, this was something that happened. And technically, could happen again.
In which Shu and Mika need to confront their trust issues with each other, if they want to keep Valkyrie from falling apart.

Summary
Mika Kagehira wants nothing more than to be with Shu Itsuki- be in a relationship with him that is. There's just one problem: he has no idea where to start. But Rinne was a charming man, or so Mika had heard, so it wouldn't hurt to ask him for advice, given they're in the same agency. Right?
Rinne is more than happy to share his advice in the art of seducing men. Nobody ever said it was good advice though.
