    Summary

    Toya is forced to accompany Akito Shinonome - also known as the school outcast - for his talent show audition. And as he spends more and more time with Akito, he begins to wonder why nobody has ever taken the time to get to know him before.

    (Alternatively, Akito slips his way into Toya's life, and they fall in love. Somehow.)

    Summary

    “I wanted—I wanted to kill them, Rui. I wanted to, so badly.” He puts his hands in his hair, tugging it hard, as if to ground himself. His vision goes spotty and he exhales harshly, the lump in his throat growing. He’s amazed that he even still has the capacity to cry. “I saw my mother come home and I pictured my hands around her neck. I stood at the top of the stairs and—”

    “Slow down, slow down, Tsukasa-kun,” Rui says, gently catching Tsukasa’s wrist as he goes to pull at his hair again. “Breathe for a moment. You know that wasn’t you. Those weren’t your own thoughts.”

    It’s a lie. Rui doesn’t know it, but it’s a lie. Sakaki—he was right, wasn’t he, only pushing Tsukasa to bring out the truth in himself. Maybe deep down he’s always felt that way, maybe deep down he was never that kind person that he had made himself out to be. He was not a stranger to facades. 

    --

    After the events of Phantom Maze Monster, Tsukasa has a nightmare. He calls Rui to keep him company.

    He proceeds to spiral.

    Summary

    “No,” Akito says a little more surely. “I said what if we kissed. Different meaning, dude.” He punctuates his words with a scoff.

    “Alright,” Toya hums. Akito expects him to go back to work, but suddenly he adds, “Then, what if we kissed?”

    -OR-

    Akito accidentally asks to kiss Toya.

    Summary

    When Akito asked what her girlfriend’s name was, An mumbled a string of word vomit in response. When Akito asked what her hobbies were, An said photography and snake watching, like she was playing a game of build-the-human in her head and suddenly realised she needed something that would make her fake girlfriend have a personality.

    And finally, when Akito asked where she studied, An quite literally said Oh she goes to another school somewhere else in the city you wouldn’t know her.

    Akito doesn't actually believe that An's girlfriend from another school is real, mainly because he is somewhat normal and has a functioning sense of reason. He keeps not-believing this until he meets her girlfriend from another school and discovers that she is, in fact, real.

    Summary

    Even with everything ahead of them, there's peace to be found in the little moments they share, Akito thinks.

    ... Or something like that. Maybe getting older is making him all sentimental.
