Summary
When they get there, Riko rushes to put the master’s urn in the mahogany desk and get away from it.
They stare at it for a long period of time. Kevin thinks he will be able to draw from memory, forever, the gold engravings in that porcelain: the painting of his, Riko’s, and Jean’s freedom.
The door opens and Jean comes in. He locks the door after himself, and comes near, resting a hand in Kevin’s shoulder.
“It’s beautiful,” he says, adoring.
They admire it for a moment longer.
Riko gets closer and opens the seal, looking inside. Kevin can’t see his face.
He says, “I want to piss on it.”
Jean snorts. “Can I be second?”
Kevin twists his nose, and says, “That’s unbecoming,” then adds, “maybe in the 49th day we could flush him down the toilet.”or: a shared kindle of a daydream makes life easier, and the boys, kinder. the plan makes them free.

Summary
“It was more than once?” Abby asks.
“Uh, yes. A couple of times.” Kevin is aware that the amount of times he’s been choked is kind of a lot, but doesn't everyone get choked once or twice in their life?
“No, Kevin, it’s not normal to get strangled. Most people never get strangled at all.”
Oh.or: everytime, kevin thinks he doesn't have any hope left. unfortunately for him, he always has more to lose.

Summary

Summary
"The Fourth Great War is upon them now. If they win, it will be a miracle. If they lose, Madara Uchiha will have his utopia and the world as they know it will be razed. There are a million things Kakashi might say now; a quarter of them he’s said before, half of them are not to be spoken. Gai was always better at that sort of thing. So instead Kakashi inhales as fully as he can manage, trying to straighten up, and knocks his knuckles against Gai’s.
'One more time,' he says.
Gai nods once, quick and steeled. 'One more time.'"or, kakashi and gai's last nights together amidst the war to end all wars, before everything changes for good.

Summary
"You're forty-five," said Gai—a little vindictively, because it was funny to see Kakashi rear back in shock every time and Gai deserved to get something out of this experience. "You're mostly retired, except you took a B-rank mission to 'keep yourself fit' and managed to get yourself kicked in the back of the head by some no-name missing nin who isn't even in the Bingo Book. And now you've forgotten half your life and you keep getting up and causing problems instead of lying down and getting better."

Summary
"You didn't– you don't like me!" Gai managed.
Kakashi frowned. "I like you, Gai. Have I really never told you that?" A depressing thought occurred to him. "Oh. Am I dead? Is that it?"
--
The thing about it is that, while some people grow into themselves, Kakashi is the sort of person who grew out of himself. He wasn't ever very good at being a child. Gai hadn't noticed it when he was a child himself, but now that he's got a teenage version of his rival on hand to compare with, he's starting to come to some belated realizations. It shouldn't be surprising; who really gets to be a child in a ninja village? But Kakashi was definitely worse at it than most.
He'd feel sympathetic, except for how the cocky little bastard keeps inexplicably hitting on him.

Summary
Kakashi had heard people complain about 'routine', calling it humdrum and boring. For Kakashi, routine meant that nobody was actively trying to kill him and there were no missions that day. Routine was good.
An implausible green and orange streak vaulted over the iron fence and darted off a cherry tree, causing a dramatic shower of petals around him as he hit the ground. Gai, showing up for his regular challenge. Yup, still routine...Until Gai told him what he was challenging Kakashi at this time.
