    Summary

    Rei leans forward on the black granite of the kitchen island, eyes lazily tracking to the cabinets Mao has open. Their kitchen, generally, is only for show. The refrigerator is the only appliance that gets much use, outside of the occasional baking Ritsu does, and there’s little in the way of actual food to be found in any of the sleek mahogany cupboards. The lack of anything that could sustain human life goes along well with the spacious, barren feel of the room, as far as Rei’s concerned. Shu once told him that if a house was a body, the kitchen was usually the heart of it.

    There was a bitterly crafted metaphor he was going to fill in there, but thinking of Shu makes his vision darken again, the thought unraveling and sputtering out in the slowly turning spokes of his mind.

    Summary

    “In high school, did you do physics?”

    “No way. APES.” As Ashido shakes her head, her earrings catch the pink neon light of the wall behind her. It looks like a little swarm of fireflies is caught in her hair. “Soooo much cooler. Our final exam was camping.”

    “Oh, sick,” Jirou says.

    “Well. Camping while digging up a lot of worms.” Ashido wrinkles her nose. Tomo must have been in the same class as her. In the few months after that exam, he remembers hearing a lot more about worms than a high school guy normally would put into a conversation. Maybe Tomo was doing it on purpose, to freak him out. It kinda worked on Tanaka. Tomo must’ve forgotten how many worms Eijirou moved back to the grass with his bare hands when they were kids.

    On the lowest string of her guitar, Jirou plays a waaah waaah waaah sound. “See, Kirishima. It could be worse. You could be digging up worms right now.”

    With his bare hands. “Nothing is worse than physics.”

    In which Kirishima does no physics, works his way through all three floors of he and his friends' college house, and accidentally solves a problem that has nothing to do with the lab he has due tomorrow.
