Summary
In which Koujaku has to revise his initial impression of what kind of person Noiz is like.
Based in Episode 9 of the DRAMAtical Murder anime.For a moment Koujaku could only stare, caught off guard by both the vehement conviction of Noiz’s words, and that weird expression on Noiz’s face, the one that made him look less like the jackass Koujaku was used to and more like a scared kid. He can’t be much older than Aoba, Koujaku realised, looking at Noiz’s face up close like this. He might even be younger than Aoba.

The first time Noiz felt real desire (and a good dose of hope with it) by DragonReine

Summary
In which Noiz and Koujaku trade information about their respective pasts, and Noiz decides to make a leap of faith (so to speak).
Based in Episode 12 of the DRAMAtical Murder anime.
Koujaku stared at him for a long moment, his face remarkably impassive, given how animated he usually was. Noiz felt it again–that odd sizzling tingle down his spine at being the sole focus of Koujaku’s attention. He’d felt it each and every time he’d managed to draw Koujaku’s attention towards him, and it felt like the anticipatory crackle he felt when he was about to step onto a Rhyme field.

[The number you have dialled is not in service.]Koujaku hung up again and stared at his Coil. Ten attempts. Ten times he had heard the same cheerful recorded message saying that the number was invalid. His heart was thudding in his chest in a painful, very-not-good way.
Noiz, where are you?

Summary
In which Koujaku and Noiz continue to learn new things about each other, Mizuki is an awesome/awful friend, and Noiz convinces Koujaku to have phone sex.
"It?" Koujaku said with a laugh. "A baby is not a doll, brat. Was it a girl or a boy?"
"A girl."
"I see," Koujaku said, and he did see, his brain bringing up images of Noiz awkwardly trying to balance the weight of a squirming kidlet in his arms. He pressed his hand to his mouth, stifling the snickers that threatened to burst out of it. It really was too cute to imagine. "How was it?"
Noiz was silent for a long time. "Warm. Soft. Heavier than I expected." Noiz went quiet for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was just barely louder than a whisper. "She scared me."

Summary
In which Noiz still has not quite learned how to inform other people about his plans, Koujaku's customers end up learning about the relationship before Aoba does, and we come to the end of this series.
His eyes felt gritty from lack of sleep. His head was pounding so hard that painkillers barely dulled it. His body ached from all the hours spent sitting in uncomfortable chairs and taking power naps on the too-short couch in his office. He had never felt this much physical discomfort in his whole life. And yet, after a moment of staring at the ceiling, he found himself closing his eyes and abruptly laughing with relief.
He was back. He was finally back in Midorijima. He could finally see Koujaku again.
