Summary
***NOTE as of 11/5/25***
This fic remains on a temporary hiatus. It has been one hell of a year (moved three times, car died, bought a new car, got in a car accident six weeks later, cracked my sternum, totaled the new car, had to buy another new car, had an unrelated surgery I'm still recovering from), and I'm further behind on my writing than I planned to be. But hey, still alive! And still intending to finish this fic. Hopefully, I will write the a few chapters in the new year. Please continue to stay tuned.Kurou is a veteran of the Third War just trying to make a new life for himself. A better one. Ko and Yasu are just trying to START life. Kurou knows what plagues both his young friends, and resolves they can help each other. But... Ko and Yasu aren't exactly typical roommate material. Kurou really, really hopes one of them won't kill the other. And, knowing Ko as well as he does, Kurou's fears of possible death are well justified.
