Summary
Joker stirs at his side, and his nose presses a little further into the spot under Bruce’s chin. One long white finger traces the bat symbol on Bruce’s chest, but since Bruce is naked, the finger traces from memory.

Summary
“If you’re wondering whether my feelings have changed, they haven’t,” Shinsuke says. “I still love you.”
I never stopped, is also what he means, but Shinsuke never gets to say that part, because Osamu’s eyes flash with a memory and turn glassy, then finally, he looks away as he rights Shinsuke on his feet.

Bookmark Notes:
Shinsuke fetches his coat and scarf, plus an extra one that he holds out to Osamu. Once, Shinsuke thinks, as he brushes past Osamu, it would have been natural for him to reach out and wrap the scarf around Osamu’s neck himself.
He gives Osamu time to gather his thoughts, because Shinsuke has patience to give. While Shinsuke waits, he counts the footprints they leave in their wake. He listens to the crunch of snow as Osamu follows, a step behind.
“Kita-san,” Osamu eventually begins, but when Shinsuke stops – ‘Kita-san’ sounds jarring now, after he had been just Shinsuke – and turns to listen, Osamu loses what he wants to say. His expression turns constipated.
Shinsuke exhales, watches his breath condense into white, then disappear. He starts to walk again. It is difficult to watch Osamu like this, even more so, after he’s learnt what it’s like to have Osamu’s smiles pressed to his lips, Osamu’s laughter muffled against the crook of his neck, Osamu’s arms loosely wrapped around his waist. Osamu’s quiet confessions when he thought that Shinsuke fell asleep; I love—
Shinsuke slips on ice and loses his balance.
*
“I love you,” Shinsuke says plainly.
It could be that simple, if Osamu allows it to be.
Why?
There is no ‘why’, but Osamu’s array of colorful expressions come to mind. His laughter. His smiles. The blissful face he makes when he eats something delicious. The hurt when he’s jealous and pretends that he isn’t. The flush on Osamu’s cheeks when Shinsuke expresses his own desire to keep him close.
The tears that Osamu wouldn’t let him see.
Perhaps there is a why, but there just aren’t words that could encapsulate it.
*
Shinsuke chuckles, unsuccessfully trying to disguise it as a cough. Osamu makes an indignant noise, and shoots him a look bordering on hurt. Shinsuke just laughs again, softer, fonder. Osamu doesn’t object when he pulls him down for a kiss, this time more decisive, surer, lingering.
When they separate, Osamu is relaxed. His weight slumps against Shinsuke’s side. It’s still sweltering, but this time Osamu unabashedly tangles their limbs together. Both of them are damp with sweat, but Shinsuke finds that doesn’t want his space back. Not just yet.
Above them, the wind chimes tinkle in the warm breeze.
Shinsuke finds himself thinking about what’s further ahead, what’s beyond the noon heat: Onigiri washed down with iced barley tea for dinner tonight. Onigiri again, but accompanied by a pot of green tea in the winter. Instead of watermelon, maybe he would be peeling oranges under a kotatsu while Osamu boos at the TV whenever Atsumu misses a serve.
“Osamu,” Shinsuke says, for the first time. “I love you.”
Osamu bolts upright, eyes wide as if he hadn’t been about to drift off to sleep. “Say that again!”
Shinsuke laughs.
“I love you,” Shinsuke repeats, as he closes his eyes. What he means is that the rice ball fillings and fruit will change with the seasons, but he hopes that Osamu’s presence would not.
*
Osamu is waiting, in spring.
Shinsuke meets him under a flurry of cherry blossoms behind the school building, with a graduation scroll in one hand and a smudgy letter in the other. It had been recovered in the old-fashioned but well-tested way from his shoe locker, never mind that Osamu has his phone number and email. The bushes beside Osamu rustle suspiciously, and Shinsuke catches a flash of blonde – probably not a trick of the light.
In any case, Osamu doesn’t seem to mind it, so Shinsuke shifts his attention back to him.
“Uhm, Kita-san,” Osamu begins earnestly. His face turns bright red and he starts to fidget and stammer. The bush snorts and Osamu glares at the bush – there must be a story behind that – before turning back to Shinsuke and clearing his throat. If it weren’t for Osamu’s expression, Shinsuke might have suspected a prank. But there is no question as to what he’s about to say. It’s painfully obvious.

Summary
The mission is over, but the horror has begun to set in. The Spiez are not talking, choosing to stubbornly remain silent about what had happened. A lab lies in complete ruins. The evidence lost or destroyed in the process. A villain is dead. The footage from cameras and their Eye-Techs mysteriously disabled thirty minutes prior to their evacuation back to WOOHP.
Jerry knows that something happened. He can sense it as well as see it. However, with the Spiez' unwillingness to tell the full story, he takes it upon himself to unravel the truth by tracing their debriefs in reverse in an attempt to figure out the truth.
However, getting the truth is a double-edged sword, one that reveals a truth more horrifying than Jerry ever imagined was possible.

Summary
It’s the night after Kamino, and the dream’s returned. By now, Yagi knows it from its scent alone: the soft breath of fresh rainfall is masked with the heavy rot of damp garbage, back alley dumpster festering in his periphery. And yet he isn’t lucid enough to escape, he never is, not even as those all-too-familiar hands slam into his back full force, sending his skull smashing against the sharp edge of the dumpster. Blood gushes over Yagi’s brow as he’s whirled around. A frightened cry stops short as those deadly hands find his throat.
“Beautiful,” All For One sneers, that piercing grin the only white in an alley swimming with dark. Yagi snatches at the man’s strangling grip, but the fingers only curl tighter into his skin. “Look at you now, All Might. The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
(The attack on the young hero is brutal. Living with it is even worse.)

Summary
“He’s going to devour us,” Jay murmurs against his neck. “He’s going to keep us with him forever.”
“So what?” Sunoo breathes.
“Right,” he chuckles humorlessly. “So what? We came here to be eaten. We waltzed right into the lion’s mouth.”
Let's say there’s a pocket of the universe where light travels backwards; where the star you see hanging in the sky has yet to be born. Let's say that in a dimension beyond our mortal perception, you can love a boy long before he happens to you.
Three boys pile into an RV and start a new life on the road, traveling cross country to sell immortality.
(A love story told in reverse.)
