Summary
It had been one night—only one night of poor foresight a decade ago, yet here he was, lost in her labyrinth, tangled in thorns all over again, still navigating the consequences without a compass.
And he hadn't the strength to pull himself away.

Summary
“If you had been killed, I…” He speaks in a hushed tone, as if trying to keep your conversation from the rest of the world, despite the two of you being the only inhabitants of the room. “There are still so many things I have yet to say, things I have yet to do -”
Sometime after the battle with Shiva, you're invited to a late, private meeting.

Summary
Mao was beginning to think he should have become an actor instead of an idol.
He was getting awfully good at it.
(or: Mao has a breakdown alone in his dorm room late at night, and Keito happens to call him during it.)

Summary
Mao frowns again. His breath catches in his throat on his next inhale, and the tightness in Mao’s chest that he had assumed was just his lungs burning with exhaustion from practice squeezes, so hard it hurts, so hard his inhale stutters again. His fingers grip the water bottle tighter, almost unconsciously.
Oh.
“Hokuto,” Mao manages to get out — manages to scrape past the thorns lining his throat and the thick chains wrapping around his chest. Trickstar’s leader is across the room, and his eyes — so blue, so intense, begging to get lost in — snap to meet Mao’s, brows furrowing lightly in confusion.
“What is it, Mao?” Hokuto asks, and Mao grips his water bottle tightly enough that he’s suddenly very, very glad that it’s made of a hard enough plastic that it won't bend beneath his fingers.
“Panic attack,” Mao forces out between a shuddering exhale, and Hokuto’s eyes widen almost imperceptibly in understanding.

or, in which mao is reminded that he isn't alone.

❝You made flowers bloom in my lungs, and although they are beautiful, I cannot breathe.❞
Leo sighed, his back to the shower door as he slumped down until he was seated on the floor, staring at the smallish petal in his palm. He wanted to laugh, but his mouth was glued shut out of the fear of the thorns dragging at the walls of his throat.
But so badly, he wanted to laugh.
Eight more petals drifted to the floor.
(or: not all love stories can have a happy ending. izumi and leo learn this the hard way.)

Summary
It's unreasonable to be in love with him anyway. That's what he tells himself: they're opposites in everything they do. If Hokuto is winter, then Subaru must be summer, never coexisting; the same way that Venus never approaches Polaris. Hokuto is not meant to love someone like him, because Subaru deserves someone that uplifts his brightness.
Because—
[ Hokuto comes to terms with being in love with Subaru, and discovers all of the baggage that comes with it — and, he comes to realise, there's a lot of it. ]

love was an interesting thing, at least to someone such as ibara. what good was love - to be cared for, to be wanted - if you could not understand it? (jun was there and he was always there to teach him, of course)

Summary
He grits his teeth, trying not to let his dwindling sense of hope show on his face. “It doesn’t matter. Akehoshi will find his way back to us, or we’ll find our way to him. That’s all we need to do.”
He wants to believe his words. He so desperately wants to believe his words.

“My house is another fifteen minutes away,” Mao says. “Just go on without me. It’s fine.”
“It ain’t fine, idiot.” Koga clicks his teeth, not letting go of Mao’s wrist. In situations like this, there’s only one thing he can do. This is not how he imagined his evening would go, but whatever. Fuck it. “Come to mine. It’s less than five minutes from here.”
alternatively, mao spends the night at koga’s. it goes just about as well as you’d think.

-and then izumi’s heart sank.
“...leo-kun.”
slumped over in the corner of the bedroom sat leo, or rather what looked to be a husk of the usually ecstatic composer. he sat with his legs bunched up beneath him on the floor, hands firmly gripping his knees. his face was obscured by the darkness, but the way his body shivered, wracked with what could be either sleepiness or tears was unmissable.

"Jimenyan, we shouldn't."
Ibara broke the silence in the kindest tone Hajime had heard from him so far.
"You know that."
An index finger graciously touched the bunny's lips, adding minimal distance to their very close blushing faces.
"Can you kindly move now? The floor is quite cold. ~"

Summary
Ten years.
Ten years is a long time to keep things in.
(Some part of him always wondered if maybe he’d just be dead in ten years, and maybe that would just be better for everyone if that were the case.)
Izumi’s pain is like a scab, a scar, something he must’ve picked at over the years. But for Leo, it’s still fresh, an open wound that he let fester for too long, threatening to rot.
(or: 3rd year depression Leo somehow takes a trip to meet a Sena ten years into the future and they both learn a couple things.)

Summary
Most days, Leo is alright. Today isn't one of those days.
Izumi finds him like this:
Loosely curled up on the hardwood floor of their living room, surrounded by sheet music that’s been ripped, crumpled, tossed aside. Uncapped markers with tips ruined by too much pressure are scattered about, as if they’d been hurled before rolling to their final resting place. It’s a heart-wrenching, familiar sight, made more pitiful by the way Leo drowns in the darkness that swallows him whole, makes him look impossibly small.

Summary
It’s so easy to notice, when Leo is so close. When they’re alone at home, Izumi sometimes feels like it’s just the both of them in their little bubble again, years ago when the world collapsed around them. Leo had always been quick at moving on, but Izumi will always follow.
